Voltage comparator

There is one node within each switching power supply that has the highest ac voltage compared to the others. This node is the ac node found at the drain (or collector) of the power switch. In nonisolated dc/dc converters, this node is also connected to the inductor and catch (or output) rectifier. In transformer-isolated topologies, there are as many ac nodes as there are windings on the transformer. Electrically, they still represent a common node, only reflected through the transformer. Special attention must be paid to each ac node separately. 

Salt or acid concentrations up to 10 M usually allow dewatering to proceed at lower voltages, compared with suspensions in pure water, presumably by lowering the resistance of the clay. At higher electrolyte concentrations (0.1 M), electro-osmotic dewatering became limited, and significant electrode polarization and electrode reactions were observed. ...

Next, OLEDs for optical transmission systems fabricated by solution process are discussed. Two kinds of hole transporting materials are tested for the host materials. As is shown in Figure 15.7a, the OLED with TDAPB emit higher emission intensity at low driving voltage compared with that of PVCz in EL intensity. This comes from the higher hole transport properties in... 

From these theoretical and experimental works, it emerges that both chiral smectic C and cholesteric elastomers are piezoelectric and can lead to a piezoelectric voltage comparable to that of classical piezoelectric crystals, such as quartz. Thus they can be used potentially as piezoelectric elements, which can be produced in any shape needed.

In summary, the electrothermally driving actuators exhibit large actuation under a relative low driving voltage. Compared with the electrochemically driving actuators, they show better actuation stability because it is free of electrolyte. Unfortunately, they exhibit a slow responsiveness due to the unsatisfactory heat conduction of the polymer. Therefore, some efforts should be made to improve the heat conduction by decreasing the thickness of the polymeric layer or introducing functional additives.
