Design and analysis of PV fed high-voltage gain DC-DC converter using PI and NN controllers حسب Madisa V.G., Varaprasad

"…When the converter switch comes under active state two capacitors are discharged in series, similarly when the converter switch under inactive state those two capacitors are charged in parallel through the coupled inductor (CI) energy so, to get a high voltage at the converter output side. To reuse the leakage-inductor (LI) energy of the CI with the help of a passive clamp circuit for reducing the voltage stress across the switch, similarly switch has less resistance so conduction losses also decreased. …"

Cold Plasma as Effective Tool for Aluminum Surface Cleaning حسب Popelka, Anton

"…In the final step, two layers of foils are wounded together and rolling oil is sprayed between the two layers and the -twin foil- is rolled down. A continuous amorphous oxide layer is formed immediately after rolling process due to the reaction of oxygen and air humidity and therefore new metal surface is produced [5]. …"
