A boosted voltage generator for low-voltage DRAMs

This paper proposes a new two-stage two-phase VPP charge pump configured in such a manner that the body effect and the threshold voltage loss are eliminated. The newly proposed circuit is fabricated using 0.18 μm triple-well CMOS process and the measurement result shows that the VPP level tracks 3VDD when VDD is above the threshold voltage.     

Studies on the Distribution of Phenoxyacetic Acid in Two-Phase Systems: <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Aliphatic Hydrocarbon – Water

Summary. Phenoxyacetic acid distribution in two-phase systems n-aliphatic hydrocarbon (C₅–C₈) – water and its dimerization in organic phase were investigated. The values of distribution coefficient (D _HR), distribution constant (K _D), and dimerization constant (K _dim) of acid were obtained. The empirical correlations of these quantities with Hildebrand solubility parameter of organic solvents were established. The influence of pH of the aqueous phase as well as the polarity of the applied organic solvents on phenoxyacetic acid physical chemistry in the two-phase systems was described.     

Applicability of the Levich Equation for a Two-Phase Solution in the Rotating Disk Electrode System

The mass-transter characteristics of a two-phase system formed by mixing a fixed quantity (20 v/v%) of organic solvent with an aqueous ferricyanide electrolyte solution in an RDE system were studied. The Levich eqution, I₁ = 0.62 nFAC_bD^2/3v^?1/6_ω^1/2, was found to be applicable to the two-phase system with only a minor modification in the angular velocity (ω) at Reynolds numbers between 3–5 × 10⁴. The experimental results indicate that the interfacial tension is the most important variable for the two-phase system. One group of organic solvents with smaller interfacial tension, such as benzene or toluene, needs a modification of the Levich equation by replacing the observed angular velocity (ω_o) with the true angular velocity (ω_t) which was observed to be 1.1 times the observed angular velocity. For the other group with larger interfacial tension, such as n-hexane or cyclohexane, there is no need to modify the observed angular velocity. In other words, the Levich equation may be expressed as I₁ = 0.65 nFAC_bD^2/3v^?1/6ω^1/2 for two-phase solution if the interfacial tension is smaller than 37.0 dyne/cm.     

ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY OF THE POLYENE PREPARED BY DEHYDROCHLORINATION OF POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE)

A high-quality polyene can be obtained by exensive dehydrochlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in aliquid/solid two-phase system. The liquid phase is a tetrahydrofuran solution of PVC containing a small amount ofpoly(ethylene glycol) with molar mass of 400 g as a phase transfer catalys. The solid phase is potassium hydroxide particles.The structure of the polyene is polyacetylene-like and has a long conjugated C=C sequence and a narrow dispersity ofpolyene sequences according to its FT-infrared and Raman spectra. The environmental stability of the polyene was alsostudied by IR, Raman spectra and elemental analysis. Experimental results demonstrated that the polyene was susceptible toair and could be changed into a material containing high concentrations of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The polyenesequences were shortened and its dispersity became broader due to the effect of dioxygen.

A simple and regioselective α-bromination of alkyl aromatic compounds by two-phase electrolysis

Electrochemical bromination of toluene and substituted toluenes by two-phase electrolysis yields the corresponding α-brominated products. The reaction has been carried out in a single compartment cell with platinum electrodes at 0 °C in chloroform using an aqueous sodium bromide solution (60%) containing a catalytic amount of HBr. Two-phase electrolysis results in high yields (60-95%) of monobromo compounds with very high regioselectivity (>95%).     

A mild and efficient method for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols by two-phase electrolysis

Electrochemical oxidation of benzylic and substituted benzylic alcohols by two-phase electrolysis yields the corresponding aldehydes as products. The reaction was carried out in a single compartment cell with platinum electrodes at room temperature in chloroform using an aqueous sodium bromide solution (25%) containing a catalytic amount of HBr. The two-phase electrolysis resulted in high yields (74-96%) of benzaldehyde from primary alcohols and secondary alcohols were oxidized to the corresponding ketone but only in low yields under these conditions.     

New synthetic approaches to sugar ureas. Access to ureido-β-cyclodextrins

An efficient method for the preparation of urea-bridged cyclodextrins using triphosgene in the isocyanation step in an aqueous two-phase system is reported. Per-O-acetylated glycopyranosylamines and 2-amino-2-deoxy-α and β-d-glucose were also transformed into the corresponding isocyanates using either an aqueous two-phase or an anhydrous dichloromethane medium, and converted in situ into ureas. An alternative method for the preparation of sugar-derived ureas consisting of desulfurization of sugar thioureas with mercury oxide is also presented.     

Performance investigation of an advanced tracked prime mover on the low bearing soil

This study has presented a performance investigation of an advanced tracked prime mover for the operation of agricultural goods and other operations on peat terrain. The maximum and continuous traction torque of the prime mover has been developed by designing an advanced controller for controlling the intelligent system. The prime mover’s mobility is studied with ultrasonic displacement sensor, torque transducer, National Instrument cRIO-9004 Compact-RIO Real-time Controller Unit (RCU), a National Instrument TPC 2106T Touch Panel Control (TPC), a Trimble AG132 GPS antenna and receiver unit, and a Dlink DIR-655 router. The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) has been equipped with the prime mover hydraulic system to increase the traction torque of the hydraulic motor when the prime mover’s sinkage is more than or equal to 70 mm. The prime mover’s design demonstrates good potential in traversing peat terrain as the measured tractive effort was found to be 48% of the vehicle’s gross weight while the recommended tractive effort is in the range of 30–36% of the vehicle’s gross weight.     

An improved semi-empirical friction model for gas-liquid two-phase flow in horizontal and near horizontal pipes

Pressure drop and liquid hold-up are two very important fluid flow parameters in design and control of multiphase flow pipelines. Friction factors play an important role in the accurate calculation of pressure drop. Various empirical and semi-empirical closure relations exist in the literature to calculate the liquid-wall, gas-wall and interfacial friction in two-phase pipe flow.However most of them are empirical correlations found under special experimental conditions. In this paper by modification of a friction model available in the literature, an improved semiempirical model is proposed. The proposed model is incorporated in the two-fluid correlations under equilibrium conditions and solved. Pressure gradient and velocity profiles are validated against experimental data. Using the improved model, the pressure gradient deviation from experiments diminishes by about 3%; the no-slip condition at the interface is satisfied and the velocity profile is predicted in better agreement with the experimental data.
