Blog Entry 3 A more simple solution to implement is to use the 3478 Low-side N-channel controller in a SEPIC configuration. This application utilizes two inductors (instead of a Flyback transformer) to attain the Buck-Boost function. The 3478 requires an external user-selectable Fet switch, so you can choose the one that suits your load current requirement. The datasheet provides an application rationale for SEPIC configuration on page 19, Figure 13. The output voltage can be set to 12V by changing the value of the feedback resistor. 

The injection of water or steam in gas turbines has been known (Nicolin, C., A gas turbine with steam injection. Swedish Patent application No.8112/51, Stockholm, Sweden, 1951) as an efficient method for NO abatement and power boosting. Several cycle configurations are possible with respect to water/steam injection. Figure 4.36 is the schematic diagram of the Steam-injection gas turbine cycle. Air is compressed from state 1 to state 2. Water is pumped from state 7 to state 8. Steam at state 9 is generated in a recovery boiler (heat exchanger) from state 8 by the hot exhaust gas. Steam at state 8... 

Considerable attention has been paid in the past few years to the study of both the absorption and emission spectra of the rare earths. This has been boosted further by the development of the new branch of physics, the Laser (light amplification through stimulated emission of radiation). The study of the optical spectra of ions yields valuable information about the energy levels of normal configurations and of excited states, and also about the nature of their environment. However, a detailed analysis of optical spectra demands a considerable knowledge of theoretical techniques. Recent advances in paramagnetic resonance techniques [479] have enabled us to understand the nature of the ground states of the rare earth ions in crystalline environments. 

To cover the widest range of frequencies in a single test, a controlled-stress device operating in a controlled-strain mode, or the equivalent test for a controlled-strain device, will provide the optimal configuration because the stresses or strains, respectively, are boosted to stay within the dynamic range of the instrument. If the results for LVE behavior have not been generated, then a fixed strain of 0.1% to 1.0% is likely to be adequate. As before, lower stresses should be used if the sample is a dispersion or emulsion, and higher stresses should be used if it is polymeric in form. 

Other improvements Jet-boosted GD in various configurations has been developed to improve precision, linearity and limits of detection in combination with AES [164]. Also, a two-cascade GD ion source proved highly effective with double-focusing MS, with which it provided sensitivity comparable to that of the ICP technique [165]. Finally, new hardware for rfGD from a Grimm-type excitation source enabled the analysis of very thin layers of target samples [166]. 

The directional nature of secondary bonds on a metal ion can act as a template to hold specific configurations (see the example from evolution in Figure 3.4) and to produce isomers which may be optically active. Such coordination compounds have given our evolution a great boost and added a whole new dimension to life s biochemistry. 

For either configuration, we see that whatever polarity is present at the input, it gets reversed at the output. Therefore, the buck-boost is often simply called an inverting topology (though we should keep in mind that that allows for two different configurations).
