СИГНАЛЬНА МАКРОМОДЕЛЬ ОПТОПАРИ НА СТРУКТУРАХ ОРГАНІЧНОЇ ЕЛЕКТРОНІКИ

The paper is devoted to the basic approaches to the realization of the macromodel of optocouplers on organic structures for sensor devices. It is shown that the use of such structures is largely limited due to the time drift of parameters and temperature instability. In the course of the research, the possibility of compensating for these parameters directly during the operation of organic optocouples by measuring and analyzing the parameter drift was established. For this purpose, specialized built-in in-situ diagnostic systems and controlled signal transducers are used. In order to verify the functioning and optimize the parameters of signal transducers of built-in in- situ diagnostic systems, the paper describes the main approaches and the result of the implementation of the optocouple macromodel. The macromodel provides the ability to specify the components of sensor electronics optocouplers in accordance with the approaches and syntax of SPICE modeling and reflects parametric modulation with changes in ambient temperature, time instability, and flicker noise. The macromodel consists of five modules that describe the processes and specify the characteristics of the optocoupler: the light emitter (LED), self-heating of the optocoupler structure by the supply current, the optical medium or active layer of the optosensor, time drift and flicker noise, and the light receiver (photodiode or photoresistor). The modules are represented by substitution schemes of electrical components in accordance with the principle of functional analogy. The main approaches to specifying the parameters of macromodel components and examples of parametric studies based on it are considered. The use of the developed model makes it possible to obtain the values of compensation parameters for operational adjustment, in accordance with the operating conditions and properties of organic structures.

Microbial transformation mechanisms of particulate organic carbon to mineral-associated organic carbon at the chemical molecular level: Highlighting the effects of ambient temperature and soil moisture

Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM), an important component of active soil organic carbon (C), plays a crucial role in controlling C transformation. However, the role of DOM in mediating the conversion of particulate organic C (POC) into mineral-associated organic C (MAOC) at the molecular level remains unclear. In this study, the microbial conversion of POC to MAOC at the molecular level was investigated at different ambient temperatures and soil moisture levels. An increase in ambient temperature led to the conversion of POC to labile C, whereas MAOC increased with soil moisture. CHO, CHNO, and CHOS increased with soil moisture and temperature. The highest temperature (35 °C) promoted conversion of lignin/cram (carboxyl-rich alicyclic molecules)-like molecules into aromatic components with the highest intragroup transformation of DOM (74%). The highest soil moisture (60%) favoured the conversion of refractory substances into aliphatic/peptide and lipid components with the highest intergroup transformation (28%). Compared to fungi, bacteria were the main driving force for DOM transformation. Therefore, changes in ambient temperature and soil moisture control the microbial formation and transformation of different C fractions (i.e. POC and MAOC) via DOM differently at the molecular level.

Optomechanical industrial-level camera modifications forrepeatable thermal image drift

Thermal image drift is observed in prevalent industrial-level cameras because their optomechanical design is not optimised to reduce this phenomenon. In this paper, the effect of temperature on industrial-level cameras is investigated, focusing on the thermal image drift resulting from ambient temperature changes and warming-up process. Standard methods for reducing thermal image drift are reviewed, concentrating on the lack of repeatability aspect of this drift. Repeatable thermal image drift is crucial for applying a compensation model as random thermal deformations in sensors cannot be compensated. Moreover, the possible cause of this issue is explored, and novel optomechanical camera modifications are proposed that maintain the thermal degrees of freedom for the deforming sensor, limiting the lack of repeatability aspect of thermal image drift to a low level. The improvement is verified by conducting experiments using a specialised test stand equipped with an invar frame and thermal chamber. Considering the results from the application of the polynomial compensation model, the standard deviation of the central shifts of image drift is reduced by ×3.99, and the absolute range of image drift is reduced by ×2.53.

Three-dimensional polymer phenylethnylcopper/nitrogen doped graphene aerogel electrode coupled with Fe3O4 NPs nanozyme: Toward sensitive and robust photoelectrochemical detection of glyphosate in agricultural matrix

BackgroundPresently, glyphosate (Gly) is the most extensively used herbicide globally, Nevertheless, its excessive usage has increased its accumulation in off-target locations, and aroused concerns for food and environmental safety. Commonly used detection methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography, have limitations due to expensive instruments, complex pre-processing steps, and inadequate sensitivity. Therefore, a facile, sensitive, and reliable Gly detection method should be developed. ResultsA photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor consisting of a three-dimensional polymer phenylethnylcopper/nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (PPhECu/3DNGA) electrode coupled with Fe3O4 NPs nanozyme was constructed for sensitive detection of Gly. The microscopic 3D network of electrodes offered fast transfer routes for photo-generated electrons and a large surface area for nanozyme loading, allowing high signal output and analytical sensitivity. Furthermore, the use of peroxidase-mimicking Fe3O4 NPs instead of natural enzyme improved the stability of the sensor against ambient temperature changes. Based on the inhibitory effect of Gly on the catalytic activity Fe3O4 NPs, the protocol achieved Gly detection in the range of 5 × 10−10 to 1 × 10−4 mol L−1. Additionally, feasibility of the detection was confirmed in real agricultural matrix including tea, maize seedlings, maize seeds and soil. SignificanceThis work achieved facile, sensitive and reliable analysis towards Gly, and it was expected to inspire the design and utilization of 3D architectures in monitoring agricultural chemicals in food and environmental matrix.

Design of an optical passive semi-athermalization zoom lens

Traditional zoom lenses cannot clearly image during the entire zoom process when the ambient temperature changes and needs to focus frequently at middle focal length positions. An innovative design method called the optical passive semi-athermalization (OPSA) design for zoom optical systems is proposed which, based on the difference in the focusing sensitivity of the focusing group at short and long focal length positions, seeks out sensitive groups that have a greater impact on the imaging quality at the short focal position. By changing the temperature characteristics of the temperature-sensitive lenses in these groups, an OPSA zoom optical system can be realized, which exhibits a compact structure and excellent imaging quality. Under the ambient temperature of −40∘C to +60∘C, the OPSA zoom lens needs to refocus only once at the long focal length position, which can ensure an image clearly during the entire zoom process. Remarkably, this innovative method not only mitigates the frequent focusing challenges in traditional zoom lenses, but also contributes to the diminutive size.

Body Size, Cerebral Blood Flow, Ambient Temperature, and Relative Brain Temperatures in Newborn Infants under Incubator Care.

Subtle changes in body temperature affect the outcomes of ill newborns. However, the temperature profile of neonatal brains remains largely unknown. In open-cot care, increased cerebral perfusion is correlated with higher superficial brain temperatures. This study investigated the dependence of brain temperature (relative to rectal temperature) on ambient temperature, body size, cerebral perfusion, and metabolism in infants receiving incubator care. Rectal, scalp, and brain temperatures, superior vena cava flow, and brain oxygenation were assessed using echocardiography, thermo-compensatory temperature monitoring, and near-infrared spectroscopy in 60 newborns. These infants had a mean postconceptional age of 36.9 (2.2) weeks and weighed 2348 (609) g at the time of evaluation. The ambient temperature was maintained at 30.0 (1.0) °C. A higher rectal temperature was associated with greater postconceptional age (p = 0.002), body weight (p < 0.001), and head circumference (p < 0.001). Relative scalp, superficial brain, and deep brain temperatures were associated with smaller head circumference (p < 0.001, p = 0.030, and p = 0.015, respectively) and superior vena cava flow (p = 0.002, p = 0.003, and p = 0.003, respectively). In infants receiving incubator care, larger head sizes and increased brain perfusion were associated with lower relative scalp and brain temperatures. When considered alongside previous reports, cerebral perfusion may contribute to maintaining stable cerebral tissue temperature against ambient temperature changes.

Comprehensive Investigation of the Temperature-Dependent Electromechanical Behaviors of Carbon Nanotube/Polymer Composites.

The performances of flexible piezoresistive sensors based on polymer nanocomposites are significantly affected by the environmental temperature; therefore, comprehensively investigating the temperature-dependent electromechanical response behaviors of conductive polymer nanocomposites is crucial for developing high-precision flexible piezoresistive sensors in a wide-temperature range. Herein, carbon nanotube (CNT)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites widely used for flexible piezoresistive sensors were prepared, and then the temperature-dependent electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical properties of the optimized CNT/PDMS composite in the temperature range from -150 to 150 °C were systematically investigated. At a low temperature of -150 °C, the CNT/PDMS composite becomes brittle with a compressive modulus of ∼1.2 MPa and loses its elasticity and reversible sensing capability. At a high temperature (above 90 °C), the CNT/PDMS composite softens, shows a fluid-like mechanical property, and loses its reversible sensing capability. In the temperature range from -60 to 90 °C, the CNT/PDMS composite exhibits good elasticity and reversible sensing behaviors and its modulus, resistivity, and sensing sensitivity decrease with an increasing temperature. At room temperature (30 °C), the CNT/PDMS composite exhibits better mechanical and piezoresistive stability than those at low and high temperatures. Given that environmental temperature changes have significant effects on the sensing performances of conductive polymer composites, the effect of ambient temperature changes must be considered when flexible piezoresistive sensors are designed and fabricated.

Kinetics and mechanism of the low-energy β-α phase transition of the second kind in 2,4-dinitroanisole

In this work, comprehensive studies of 2,4-dinitroanisole (2,4DNAN) were carried out using powder thermorentgenography of the internal standard. The time of the complete polymorphic transition in the solid phase β→α in 2,4DNAN under various combinations of conditions has been determined. It has been established that, regardless of the season of manufacture of the substance, when it is stored for 8–9 months, with a change in ambient temperature from minus 30 °C to plus 30 °C, a complete polymorphic transition β→α occurs. When stored in conditions below minus 5 °C, polymorphic transition does not occur. When stored in conditions above plus 30 °C in a closed container, polymorphic transition occurs within 3 weeks. The polymorphic transition is accompanied by a decrease in density by 1.3%–1.5% and an increase in melting temperature by 10–12 °C, depending on the degree of purity of the starting substance. The activation energy of the molecular rearrangement was 68–70 kJ/mol (16.5±3 kcal/mol). The mechanism of polymorphic transition has been evaluated, which is presumably based on internal homodiffusion and energy transfer to the surface of the mass of powder particles and the product. The average activation energy of the polymorphic transition process was 110±6.2 kJ/mol (26.2 kcal/mol). In an open container, reactions proceed by a homogeneous mechanism, and in a closed container by a heterogeneous mechanism involving the gas phase.

Design, Analysis and Fabrication of 360 Degree Fire Protection System

Abstract: Large factories, warehouses, and industrial production facilities always run the risk of fires breaking out. Lack of appropriate firefighting measures could result in disastrous consequences and along with financial losses might even lead to massive loss of human life. In such situations, it is ideal to install a Fire Monitor also known as a deluge gun. Fire monitors are an aimable and controllable high-capacity water jet used to deal with large fires. Unlike Fire extinguishers, Fire Monitors are permanently installed and cannot be moved. Using an array of heat sensors, this fire monitor detects any changes in ambient temperature and sends the user an alert about the same.

Adaptive backstepping control for uncertain semiconductor refrigeration systems considering even-order input

Temperature control technique has received much attention in the field of semiconductor thermal management. This paper presents a novel adaptive backstepping-based temperature control strategy for semiconductor refrigeration systems considering unmodeled dynamics. The inherent non-affine problem caused by the even-order input signal is solved by combining a novel smooth function into the command filtered backstepping method. And then, the adaptive observer is also employed to improve the system performance under unmodeled dynamic deviations. The stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed based on the Lyapunov theory, and simulation experiments are given to verify our control method. The simulation results show that the method can realize the accurate control of temperature under unmodeled dynamics. Under the disturbance of ambient temperature changes and model errors, the steady state error of the system remains below 0.1 °C. In comparison with the traditional control methods, our strategy has a stronger ability to suppress the uncertainty effects.

Impact of ambient temperature on the filter polychromators performance and accuracy of thomson scattering diagnostics

Thomson scattering is one of the most important diagnostic methods for measuring plasma electron temperature (Te) and electron density (ne). In the diagnostic system, the polychromator is often used to analyze the spectral broadening and intensity of the detected scattered light. The performance of the avalanche photodiode (APD) used in the polychromator is greatly affected by the ambient temperature. The change of ambient temperature will seriously affect the accuracy of Thomson scattering diagnosis. Through experimental analysis, when the ambient temperature increases, the gain of APD will be significantly reduced, resulting in a significant deviation in electron density measurement. Taking the system response at an ambient temperature of 24.1 °C as reference, the deviation of electron density measurement varies from 43% to −16%, with the ambient temperature from 16.6 °C to 29.9 °C. However, the change of ambient temperature has little impact on the measurement of electron temperature. Detailed test of the polychromator shows that the estimated deviation of the electron temperature is within 3%. Due to the change of ambient temperature, the response of the detectors in each channel of the polychromator is inconsistent, which will cause random errors. The influence on electronic temperature calculation is analyzed by numerical simulation.

Performance analysis on the heating performance of CPV/T-air dual source heat pump system with finned microchannels heat exchanger

Solar-assisted heat pump technology is a clean building energy conserving technique with high efficiency, but it often has limitations such as large evaporator cover area and significant susceptibility to weather conditions, preventing it from being widely used. In this paper, a concentrated photovoltaic/thermal-air dual source heat pump system integrated with finned microchannel heat exchanger (CPV/T-FMC-SAHP) is proposed to solve these problems. A mathematical model for the CPV/T-FMC-SAHP system is developed, and sensitivity analysis of different environmental parameters on system performance is conducted by numerical simulation. Performance comparisons are made under dual-source and solar heating modes to explore the optimal operating conditions. The results suggest that changes in ambient temperature have a relatively minor impact, primarily attributed to the limited surface area of the evaporator. On the other hand, increased irradiance, facilitated by the concentrator, significantly improves the system's performance. In the case of solar irradiation at 600 W/m2 and an ambient temperature of 13 °C, the system's heating capacity is 1747.38 W, with a COP reaching 5.31. In comparison, the COP of existing solar-assisted heat pump systems under this condition are about 4.5, so there is an improvement of about 18 %. Furthermore, activating the air blower on the weather with bad irradiation but relatively warm can further increase the system's heating capacity. To sum up, the CPV/T-FMC-SAHP system exhibits a substantial improvement in performance and high level of integration compared to traditional solar-assisted heat pumps. Therefore, this system can provide ideas for improving the performance of heat pumps in the case of limited space. It is not only meaningful in the field of building energy conserving, but also conducive to addressing global energy challenges.

Evaluating the impact of off-design CHP performance on the optimal sizing and dispatch of hybrid renewable-CHP distributed energy resources

The maturation of distributed energy resources (DER) has prompted the exploration of their deployment in commercial building applications due to their potential to supply energy at lower costs and emissions rates compared to centralized generation. While several software tools exist for evaluating the techno-economic potential of integrated renewable energy and combined heat and power (CHP) systems for distributed generation applications, many suffer from poor accuracy in capturing off-design (part load and changes in ambient air temperature and pressure) performance characteristics of microturbines, combustion turbines, or internal combustion engines. Thus, this paper presents a methodology for integrating these off-design characteristics in the mixed-integer linear program within REopt, a hybrid DER screening tool. The economic impact of the CHP off-design performance is observed through several application studies of various hybrid system configurations in different climates. Each study indicates how CHP off-design performance influences optimal sizing and dispatch decisions and therefore overall system economic value. We observe through case studies that modeling without the off-design effects, depending on the CHP prime mover and site, can result in Net Present Value predictions of hybrid systems that can be overoptimistic in frequently hot climates (up to 52 %), too conservative in frequently cold climates (up to 11 %), or unaffected (＋/−1 %) in temperate climates. Cases also highlight several advantages of hybrid systems relative to non-hybrid systems such as total economic value and the systems’ ability to mitigate potentially negative consequences attributed to off-design performance.

Multi-year in situ hydrogeochemical monitoring of hard rock lithium mine tailings in a large-scale experimental pile

Spodumene, a lithian mineral found in granitic pegmatites, is a major source of lithium. In situ, multi-year and large-scale (>10s of tons) predictive hydrogeochemical studies can be of great value for informing mine waste rock and tailings management, not least because the material is exposed to the actual climate where it is meant to be stored. However, such studies are rare given their cost and size, and previous ones have focused mainly on sulfide-bearing materials. An experimental field cell filled with spodumene beneficiation tailings was built at the Whabouchi lithium mine site in northern Québec (Canada) and monitored during four consecutive years. In parallel, column laboratory kinetic testing on the same material was conducted for water quality parameters to compare the effect of testing scales on the geochemical behavior. Geochemical results and release rates were overall similar between laboratory and field, and consistent with previously published laboratory results for materials from the same site. The leachates were neutral to slightly alkaline, with ions from feldspars (Ca > Na > K) and residual spodumene (Li) being notable solutes. Concentrations for most solutes surveyed remained higher in the field after four years than in columns at the end of the experiment. One major difference between laboratory and field was a brief (less than 2 years) increase in iron concentrations from the field cell, resulting in Fe-oxyhydroxides precipitation, that was not observed in laboratory. The source of this iron is arguably residual ferrosilicon (used for dense medium separation) and this difference is attributed to the different testing conditions and configurations in the laboratory versus in situ. Field hydrogeological results highlight strong seasonal patterns and the rapid response of this sand-like, sulfide-poor material to ambient temperature changes and wetting-drying events. The tailings both wet and drain rapidly and easily given their water retention curve and the range of matrix suctions recorded during frost-free months. Net infiltration through the tailings was estimated to represent 55% of total precipitation in summer (June–October) 2021. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the environmental behavior of hard rock lithium mine tailings under real, sub-arctic climatic conditions and outlines similarities and differences between laboratory- and field-generated geochemical results.

Ambient temperature monitoring induced by radiation field of four-core fiber optical tweezers

We propose and demonstrate a multi-core fiber optical tweezers system that can automatically monitor ambient temperature. The system uses a four-core fiber frustum cone end to trap small particles such as cells, and four Bragg gratings are written on the cone end of the four-core fiber optical tweezers to monitor the ambient temperature change caused by light radiation at the fiber end of the system. This paper mainly tests the temperature monitoring function of the system when the ambient temperature changes caused by fiber end radiation. Considering that the activity of different cells will be affected when stimulated by the ambient temperature, the monitoring of ambient temperature is particularly important when the operation is carried out for a long time, especially when the radiated laser power is higher than 100 mW. This optical fiber tweezers system provides a better technical solution for the operation and application of living cells through the integration of multi-core fiber grating temperature measurement technology and expands the practical value of optical fiber tweezers.

Techno-economic assessment of the modified Allam cycle configurations with multi-stage pump/compressor for efficient operation in hot regions

The Allam cycle is renowned for its zero-carbon power generation and high efficiency. However, it faces challenges in hot regions where there is no available cold source for carbon dioxide liquefaction, leading to deterioration in its performance. In this study, a multi-stage pump/compressor is introduced, aiming to enhance the net electric efficiency of the conventional Allam cycle. Various potential enhancement methods are explored and analyzed through comprehensive thermodynamic and economic analyses. Among the configurations under consideration, the Allam cycle combined with two-stage pump/compressor and bypass compressor exhibits the best performance, achieving a 6.71 % increase in the efficiency of the conventional cycle. For the conventional Allam cycle, the efficiency decreases by 0.42 % for every 1 ℃ increase in ambient temperature, however, it is 0.17 % for the Allam-MPC cycle, which indicates it is less responsive to changes in ambient temperature. Moreover, the economic performance of the proposed cycle is better than that of the conventional cycle, which has higher revenue and lower levelized cost of electricity. The capital costs of the modified equipment represent around 1.43 % of the total capital costs of the conventional Allam cycle, and the investment-increment payback period is less than 0.5 years when the ambient temperature exceeds 30 ℃. Sensitivity analyses suggest that the proposed cycle will be more economically viable in hot regions with lower natural gas prices and higher electricity prices. Overall, this study provides a promising approach to improving the performance of Allam cycle in hot regions and offering valuable references for its practical implementation.

Tetrad stage transient cold stress skews auxin-mediated energy metabolism balance in Chinese cabbage pollen.

Changing ambient temperature often impairs plant development and sexual reproduction, particularly pollen ontogenesis. However, mechanisms underlying cold stress-induced male sterility are not well understood. Here, we exposed Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris) to different cold conditions during flowering and demonstrated that the tetrad stage was the most sensitive. After completion of pollen development at optimal conditions, transient cold stress at the tetrad stage still impacted auxin levels, starch and lipid accumulation, and pollen germination, ultimately resulting in partial male sterility. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses and histochemical staining indicated that the reduced pollen germination rate was due to the imbalance of energy metabolism during pollen maturation. The investigation of β-glucuronidase (GUS)-overexpressing transgenic plants driven by the promoter of DR5 (DR5::GUS report system) combined with cell tissue staining and metabolome analysis further validated that cold stress during the tetrad stage reduced auxin levels in mature pollen grains. Low-concentration auxin treatment on floral buds at the tetrad stage before cold exposure improved the cold tolerance of mature pollen grains. Artificially changing the content of endogenous auxin during pollen maturation by spraying chemical reagents and loss-of-function investigation of the auxin biosynthesis gene YUCCA6 by artificial microRNA technology showed that starch overaccumulation severely reduced the pollen germination rate. In summary, we revealed that transient cold stress at the tetrad stage of pollen development in Chinese cabbage causes auxin-mediated starch-related energy metabolism imbalance that contributes to the decline in pollen germination rate and ultimately seed set.

Calculation of noise field in main transformer room of indoor substation based on thermal-acoustic coupling

—In order to calculate the noise field distribution in the main transformer room of an indoor substation accurately, a thermal-acoustic coupling idea was introduced, and a noise field solving the algorithm based on thermal-acoustic coupling was proposed in view of the noise quality loss caused by the effect of ambient temperature changes. Firstly, the fluid-structure coupling model of the main transformer room is established, and the computational fluid dynamics method is used to calculate the flow field distribution and temperature boundary conditions under the action of the heat source; Then, extracting the rheological equation of the environmental boundary conditions in the flow field calculation, and use the difference function to couple the rheological equation to the sound grid to obtain the sound field coupling model under the condition of variable temperature; Finally, the modified parameter acoustic integral equation under the sound field coupling model is calculated based on the conventional Gauss numerical integration method, and the sound field of the main transformer room considering the effect of variable temperature is obtained. The algorithm has been successfully applied in the analysis of the noise field of Xi'an 110 kV Zhenxing Substation, and the error with the measured value is 2.083%.

Design, fabrication, and characterization of a high-sensitivity integrated quartz vibrating beam accelerometer.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and characterization of a quartz vibrating beam accelerometer consisting of a metal spring-mass and quartz double-ended tuning forks (DETFs). In this approach, the inertial force of the proof mass pulls or compresses the DETFs, affecting their resonance frequency and, thus, enabling the quasi-digital measurement of acceleration. An isolation structure was specifically designed to prevent the external interference stress from transforming into the DETFs and to decrease the DETFs' thermal stress as the ambient temperature changes. A stress-free and high-precision wire-cut electrical discharge machining process was introduced to solve the fabrication problem of flexible hinges, and a femtosecond laser was used to release the proof mass, comprehensively considering the compatibility of the fabrication process and structural design. The oscillation excitation and detection of the DETFs were analyzed, and the DETFs were fabricated using a micro-electromechanical systems process. Sensor dimensions were optimized to improve sensor sensitivity. An accelerometer prototype was fabricated, and its performance was characterized. The tested scale factor was 157.28 Hz/g, and its stability was 16.54 ppm. The bias stability and 1g stability at 1h were 18 and 7.84 µg, respectively. The experimental results validated the feasibility of the sensor design.

A Junction Temperature Smoothing Control Method for SiC MOSFETs Based on the Gate Driving Signal Delay

Low frequency junction temperature fluctuation caused by changes in load current or ambient temperature can severely accelerate the aging development and reduce the operational lifetime of power switching devices. Therefore, junction temperature smoothing control (JTSC) is important for high reliability operation. Conventional JTSC methods require complex additional hardware. Moreover, they are invasive with compromising on the output power quality of the converter. To solve these problems, a novel JTSC method is proposed based on the adjustment of the gate driving signal delay ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</sub> ). <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">First</i> , the relationship between <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</sub> and the power loss is analyzed.
