Inverter-AC Motor Drives. An adjustable-frequency control of AC motors provide efficient operation with the use of brushless, high-performance induction, and synchronous motors. A typical system is shown in Figure. 3-14. Such a system consists of a rectifier (which provides DC power from the AC line) and an inverter (which converts the DC power to acljustable-frequency AC power for the motor). Inverter cost per kilowatt is about twice that of controller rectifiers thus the power convertor for an AC drive can approach three times the cost of a DC drive. 

The power convertor must provide the AC motor with low-harmonic voltage waveform and simultaneously allow the amplitude to be adjusted. This avoids magnetic saturation of the motor as the frequency is adjusted. For constant torque, from maximum speed to base speed, the voltage is adjusted proportional to frequency. Above base speed, the motor is usually operated at constant horsepower. In this region the voltage is held constant and the flux density declines. Also, the convei tor must limit the starting current, ensure operation at favorable slip, and provide a path fitr reverse power flow during motor slowdown. 

Fig. 3.1. Schematic diagram of a TCSPC setup. Using a fast timing device (e.g., time-to-amplitude-converter) the time is measured between the excitation pulse and the detection of a photon. By repeating this procedure many times a decay curve is measured. TAC time to amplitude convertor, MCA multi channel analyzer, PC personal computer. 

Microwave catalysis is a catalytic process performed in the presence of a microwave (electromagnetic) field in which the catalyst acts as an energy convertor . It uses microwave irradiation to stimulate catalytic reactions. It is necessary to stress that any sort of electromagnetic or microwave radiation is not itself a catalyst, as has sometimes erroneously stated [1], Similarly, it is not correct to say that microwave irradiation catalyzes chemical reactions [1], The principles of microwave catalysis will be described in the following sections.

The advantage of using a computer and A/D and D/A convertors for piezo control and reading is that for tube piezos, especially when the tip is mounted at the edge of the tube instead of at the eenter, the x,y scan is not linear, and there is substantial cross talk between x, y, and z. This nonlinearity and interference can be corrected by software. 

The bias can be implemented from the computer through a D/A converter from the computer. The typical output from a typical D/A converter, 10 V in range and 4.88 mV per step, is ideal for bias control and for local tunneling spectroscopy. The speed of output from a D/A convertor and the speed of reading by an A/D convertor are typically 30 kHz, which matches the speed of the current amplifier. With an additional A/D conversion for the tunneling current (the output of the current amplifier), the local tunneling spectroscopy can be implemented by the computer without additional analog electronics. 

The exceptional properties of the alloy are due in no small way to the yttrium component which together with the aluminium forms a stable and firmly bound oxide layer that exhibits excellent resistance to exhaust gas emissions at high temperatures over prolonged periods.( ) At the same time, it provides an ideal surface to receive another coating of metal or metal oxide which, in the context of catalyst applications, is most essential. At the present time most catalytic convertors utilise ceramic substrates which are prone to damage by both mechanical and thermal shock. 

The modern dairy cow is a very efficient convertor of plant material average national yields, e.g. in the USA and Israel, are about 8000 kg annum-1, with individual cows producing up to 20000kg annum-1. In terms of kilograms of protein that can be produced per hectare, milk...

The probability of finding a new nonlinear crystal with such specific optical characteristics within a reasonable period of time depends on several factors. The first factor is the rate at which the relevant optical properties can be measured with sufficient accuracy to decide if the crystal is likely to be better than the ones already in hand. Second, there must be a reasonably high probability that the set of materials chosen for characterization contains crystals with the desired characteristics. Finally, assuming that crystals with the desired properties are only sparsely distributed among the set, tiie rate at which the crystals can be synthesized or otherwise obtained in characterizable form must be high, so that a large population of crystals can be scrutinized. The object of this paper is to review the strategy we have developed to optimize these factors in our search for improved ICF frequency convertors. 

It is important to note that, with the exception of the extraordinarily large aperture size requirement, the criteria for a fusion laser frequency convertor are generally applicable to any high power laser. Moreover, many of the ideas presented here are applicable, mutatis mutandis, to the search for NLO crystals for any specific application, for example, diode laser doubling.
