The switched capacitor charge pump (SCCP) is an effective method of linearizing charges on piezoelectric actuators and therefore constitute a significant approach to nano-positioning. In this work, it was for the first time implemented in an atomic force microscope for low-distortion imaging. Experimental results showed that the image quality was improved evidently under the SCCP drive compared with that under traditional linear voltage drive.

The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the IEEE-16 bus system under different operating conditions. It discusses the selection of suitable decomposition level and wavelet function for analyzing non-stationary signals to enhance power distribution network fault detection. MATLAB/Simulink is used to simulate the system, and transient fault current signals are processed with the MATLAB Wavelet Toolbox.

This paper presents a 35 nV/√Hz analog front-end (AFE) circuitdesigned in the UMC 40 nm CMOS technology for the acquisition of biopotential signal. The proposed AFE consists of a capacitive-coupled instrumentation amplifier (CCIA) and a combination of a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and a low-pass filter (LPF). The CCIA includes a DC servo loop (DSL) to eliminate electrode DC offset (EDO) and a ripple rejection loop (RRL) with self-zeroing technology to suppress high-frequency ripples caused by the chopper.

The contaminated transformer oil is one of the major causes of failure in the power system. Detection and continuous monitoring of moisture content in transformer oil is required for the smooth operation of a system. In this paper, a Fractal-based Sinusoidal-shaped Capacitive Sensor (FSCS) is proposed to increase the contact area between capacitor plates and dielectric medium by 17.

Negative capacitance (NC) effects in ferroelectrics can potentially break fundamental limits of power dissipation known as "Boltzmann tyranny." However, the origin of transient NC of ferroelectrics, which is attributed to two different mechanisms involving free-energy landscape and nucleation, is under intense debate. Here, we report the coexistence of transient NC and an S-shaped anomaly during the switching of ferroelectric hexagonal ferrites capacitor in an RC circuit.

This research paper presents a high-gain DC-DC converter with ultra-step-up voltage gain capability. The proposed converter is synthesized from a two-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC), and its voltage gain is doubled by adopting a voltage lift capacitor. To enhance its voltage gain capability, a floating capacitor-based gain extension cell is adopted subsequently.
