Given the diverse voltage requirements of contemporary chips, a single chip may encompass multiple circuitry groupings, each necessitating specific voltage levels for optimal functionality. To address this need, voltage converters are essential, whether it involves increasing the voltage (Boost converter), decreasing the voltage level (Buck converter), or performing both functions (Buck-boost converter). This paper presents a novel multistage DC-DC converter designed to minimize voltage ripples. The proposed three-stage DC-DC converter is supplied with a 1.5-V input and achieves a four-boost ratio. The cascaded architecture integrates switching capacitors and a gyrator, complemented by a terminating low-pass filter, resulting in a minimal voltage ripple of 0.0003 % relative to the maximum output voltage. Notably, integrating the gyrator enables an inductorless CMOS-based architecture, significantly reducing layout area to 30 × 140 μm<sup>2</sup>. Furthermore, the converter's transient response was simulated, yielding a response time of 90 ms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 101396"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study critiques the conventional impedance methods that utilize alternating current (AC) for void fraction measurements, highlighting the inherent drawbacks such as ground capacitance interference and non-uniform current distribution. To circumvent these issues, the research introduces the use of direct current (DC), which ensures a homogeneous distribution across the conductor's cross-section, as a more reliable alternative. Termed the \"Direct Impedance Method,\" this technique employs DC to enhance the accuracy of void fraction measurements. The study explores various geometric configurations of full-ring and half-ring electrodes, both vertical and horizontal, within a microchannel of 500 μm diameter. An empirical formula is derived to calculate the void fraction from the electrical data obtained. High-speed imaging at 4000 frames per second supplements the method by providing visual confirmation of the flow patterns. The comparative analysis of the direct impedance method and image processing using the homogeneous theoretical model reveals a deviation of approximately 2 %–10 % for the slug and annular flow pattern. In contrast, the deviation is more for the bubble pattern. The results affirm that the Direct Impedance Method is a cost-effective and reasonably precise technique for small-channel applications. Its accuracy is inversely proportional to the channel diameter, rendering it unsuitable for channels larger than 2 mm.

This paper looks at how cities are planning better ways for people to travel and move within the growing scope of multimodal transportation, a paradigm shift beyond traditional single-mode transit systems. Our approach to improving urban transport revolves around a few key principles: integration, innovation, and collaboration. Integration means bringing together different modes of transportation – like buses, trains, bikes, and even new technologies like ride-sharing services to make it easier for people to switch between them. This transformative approach not only aims to reduce congestion and reduce environmental footprints but also prioritizes user experience while ensuring a harmonious blend of convenience, sustainability, and accessibility. We use new technology and ideas to ensure that travel is easy, quick, and good for the environment. Looking at new trends and examples from around the world, this overview shows how cities are shaping a better future for everyone's daily commute.
