(author)In this paper, we propose a new scheme to directly power a 4.9-5.6GHz LC oscillator from a recursive switched-capacitor DC-DC converter. A finite-state machine is integrated to automatically adjust the conversion ratio and switching frequency of the converter such that its DC output voltage is within ±5% of the desired 1V across input voltage...journal article 2020

Urso, A. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Dijkhuis, Johan F. (author), Liu, Yao-Hong (author), Babaie, M. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)This article presents guidelines for designing the power supply blocks of RF oscillators. To preserve their spectral purity, the requirements on the noise and ripple of the supply voltage are firstly evaluated based on the oscillator supply pushing factor and the oscillator Figure-of-Merit (FOM). Those specifications are then employed to design...journal article 2020

(author), Hu, Weihao (author), Chen, Zhe (author)eAssessment The application of multiterminal (MT), high-voltage dc (HVdc) (MTdc) grid technology requires test procedures for the operation and implementation of the protection solutions. The test procedures are usually derived from experience and from extensive measurement data, which, at present, are still not widely available. Based on a...journal article 2020

Han, Rui (author), Liu, Chi Harold (author), Zong, Zan (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), Liu, Wending (author), Wang, Siyi (author), Zhan, Jianfeng (author)Cluster schedulers provide flexible resource sharing mechanism for best-effort cloud jobs, which occupy a majority in modern datacenters. Properly tuning a scheduler's configurations is the key to these jobs' performance because it decides how to allocate resources among them. Today's cloud scheduling systems usually rely on cluster operators...journal article 2019

(author), Liang, Cai (author)Due to the presence of inter-particle cohesive force, cohesive particles reveal totally different fluidization behaviors as compared to the non-cohesive system. This paper studies the fluidization dynamics of Geldart B particles with varying thermal-induced cohesive forces. Multi-source X-ray tomography was applied to reconstruct 3D temporal...journal article 2019

A Supply Pushing Reduction Technique for LC Oscillators Based on Ripple Replication and CancellationChen, Y. (author), Liu, Yao-Hong (author), Zong, Z. (author), Dijkhuis, Johan (author), Dolmans, Guido (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author), Babaie, M. (author)In this paper, we propose a method to suppress supply pushing of an LC oscillator such that it may directly operate from a switched-mode dc-dc converter generating fairly large ripples. A ripple replication block (RRB) generates an amplified ripple replica at the gate terminal of the tail current source to stabilize the oscillator's tail...journal article 2019

Ma, Jiliang (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author), Liu, Daoyin (author), Mudde, R.F. (author), Chen, Xiaoping (author), Pan, Suyang (author), Liang, Cai (author)The increase of inter-particle cohesive force greatly changes the fluidization dynamics, finally leading to the partial or complete failure of fluidization. However, few studies concern such transition process. This paper investigates the fluidization dynamics of Geldart B particles with a wide-range of cohesive force by analyzing the in-bed...journal article 2019

Li, Mengxia (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Liu, Rongfang (author), Chen, P. (author), Dong, Zhuojian (author), He, Yixiong (author)Following the growth in global trade activities, vessel traffic has increased dramatically in some busy waterways and ports. However, such increments have made it more complex to manage the regional vessel traffic, which can increase the risk of an accident in the area. To model and analyze the relationship between vessel traffic and maritime...journal article 2019
