The proposed topology delivers a 10 nA current reference that consumes under 70 nW of power operating with a VDD as low as 0.65V. At about 45um by 55um, it is 4 to 50 times smaller in size, compared to prior art current references in its category, and it has a temperature span that exceeds 125C versus about 80C limit for most of its comparable alternatives, according to Monte Carlo simulations. Higher temperature span is achieved by (1) Sensing the PTAT voltage and forcing the Ir at the gate and not the source of the reference current loop, (2) employing differential source followers to generate a larger PTAT voltage instead of prior art use of either asymmetric current mirrors or scaled self-cascode, and (3) using donut shaped equal W/L transistors to minimize drain size for less leakage current. Larger PTAT voltage helps desensitize Ir from offsets (due to VTH and W/L mismatches associated with transistors in current mirror and loop amplifier). The proposed topology allows for elimination of asymmetric transistors and cascoded current mirrors in the Ir current loop. As a result, compact die size is realized, the impact of source-drain junction leakages is reduced substantially, and hot temperature span is extended. MC simulations, and analysis verifies that TC of about ± 350 ppm/C over a 150C temperature span is achievable, and VC of about ± 0.1% /V in 180nm standard digital CMOS.","PeriodicalId":357133,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125214761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been recognized a direct influence between the autonomie nervous system and cardiac activity in the human body. Sometimes causes of disease can be explained by studying the relationship of both parts. Analyzing the beat to beat variations from de cardiac events can show valuable information about the health of the nervous system, which regulates and coordinates the activity of different biological systems. Such variations have been measured and analyzed in the last two decades from studies with electrocardiography (ECG) but in this project is pretended to use photoplethysmography (PPG), as it is a simpler and lower cost non invasive method than ECG. The aim of this project is to develop a prototype for the study of heart rate variability (HRV) based on reflected green light PPG. Equipment was designed with computer support for obtaining the photoplethysmographic signal and processing the information with frequency methods. Results using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) have shown that photoplethysmographic technique can be used to perform HRV studies. The spectral components in the different ranges established in previous studies demonstrate the expected behavior with PPG, although it is still important to consider other tests and techniques of information processing.","PeriodicalId":357133,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130831052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem is formulated and solved as an optimal power flow problem, which aims to maximize the active power flow through selected transmission links taking into account steady state and transient stability constraints. This model is formulated in the Euclidian space, where the transient stability limit is represented by a single stability constraint expressed only in terms of steady state variables. The stability constraint is derived from the sensitivity analysis carried out from the single machine equivalent method (SIME). Thus, the resulting optimization model is similar to the conventional optimal power flow model. The application of the proposal is numerically illustrated considering an equivalent model of the interconnected Mexican system composed by 190 bus, 46 generators and 265 transmission lines.","PeriodicalId":357133,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125043859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stray losses in the region surrounding high current bushings are estimated using 3D Finite Element (FE) simulations. In the considered region the stray losses are high and its reduction is important to avoid the presence of hot spots in the tank cover of power transformer. In this paper, an L-shape non-magnetic Stainless Steel Insert (SSI) is utilized to reduce the stray losses in the region of the Tertiary Voltage Bushings (TVBs) of the transformer. Stray losses in the tank cover are estimated for a level of overload of 30% considering two cases: 1) When there is no SSI and 2) When the SSI is considered. The reduction of stray losses in the tank cover of power transformers helps to avoid the presence of dangerous high temperature spots. Hot spots can degrade the transformer oil and they can produce a potential failure of the equipment during operation.","PeriodicalId":357133,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Autumn Meeting on Power, Electronics and Computing (ROPEC)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126293875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
