Michael Braun “Knowledge is the only possession that proliferates when shared.” Translated statement of Marie Freifrau von Ebner-Eschenbach, Austrian author. I. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die vorliegende Arbeit umfasst die Untersuchung neuartiger Schaltungstopologien zum gepulsten Betrieb von Excimer-Lampen basierend auf Dielektrisch Behinderten Entladungen (DBE), die zur Erzeugung optischer Strahlung im sichtbaren und ultravioletten Bereich eingesetzt werden. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der effizienten Erzeugung kurzer Pulse und vorteilhafter Pulsformen um einen hohen Systemwirkungsgrad sicher zu stellen. Erstmals werden in dieser Arbeit bekannte und neu entwickelte Schaltungstopologien zum Betrieb von DBE grundlegend klassifiziert und durchgängig experimentell validiert. Die neu entwickelten Topologien und Betriebsmodi basieren sowohl auf rein resonantem Betrieb als auch auf der Drosselvorladung, welche die Adaptivität an unterschiedliche Lampen sowie eine höhere Spannungsverstärkung bietet. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Untersuchung von transformatorlosen Topologien, die – ausgestattet mit modernen Silizium-Karbid Leistungshalbleitern – die Anregung der DBE-Lampen mit Pulsen kürzer als 1 µs erlauben. Der positive Effekt der kurzen Pulsdauer auf die Lampeneffizienz und -leistungsdichte wurde experimentell nachgewiesen. Eine flache DBE-Lampe mit vergleichsweise großem Energiebedarf (3.18 nF Kapazität und 2 kV Zündspannung) konnte mit Pulsfrequenzen von mehr als 1 MHz betrieben werden, während eine kleinere Koaxial-DBE mit bis zu 3.1 MHz Pulsfrequenz angeregt wurde. Aufgebaute Pulsinverter erreichten Spitzenwirkungsgrade von 92 %. Anstelle von Simulationen wurden in der Arbeit hauptsächlich Kalkulationen und elektrische Messungen durchgeführt, um Bauteile und Schaltungen zu beschreiben. Die Hauptkomponenten der Hochfrequenz- Pulsinverter, wie Leistungshalbleiter und magnetische Bauelemente sowie die DBD-Lampen wurden bezüglich ihrer parasitären Eigenschaften mittels spektral aufgelöster Impedanzmessungen charakterisiert. Aufbauend auf den Messergebnissen konnte die parasitäre Induktivität von Gate-Treibern und Leistungsstufen signifikant reduziert werden. Darüber hinaus wurden thermische Messungen zum Erfassen von Verlustleistungen sowie statische Messungen des Einschaltwiderstandes von Leistungshalbleitern vorgenommen. Neben dem Betrieb von Silizium-Karbid MOSFETs und JFETs wurde auch die Verschaltung von Silizium MOSFETs zu einem Matrix-Schalter mit 2,7 kV Betriebsspannung untersucht. Ausgehend vom recherchierten Stand der Technik werden vorteilhafte Spannungspulsformen zum Betrieb der DBE diskutiert. Darüber hinaus enthält diese Arbeit eine Abhandlung zu den Einflüssen der verschiedenen DBE-Kapazitäten auf die Entladung und die Energie, die vom Pulsgenerator zur Verfügung gestellt werden muss. ◊ 9 ◊ II. ABSTRACT This dissertation presents novel methods of operating dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) excimer lamps with short, high-voltage pulses of favourable wave-shape in order to ensure operation at highest efficiency. Novel and state-of-the-art power electronic pulse inverter topologies are investigated, experimentally validated and classified in terms of their main properties. The novel topologies introduced are based on pure resonant operation or a combination of resonant operation and inductor pre-charge which offers an improved adaptability to different lamps and higher voltage amplification. Many topologies are modified towards transformer-less variants which are equipped with SiC power semiconductor switches. A flat DBD lamp with a capacitance of 3.18 nF and an ignition voltage of 2 kV was operated with a pulse frequency of more than 1 MHz while a smaller experimental coaxial DBD was operated at 3.1 MHz. Peak inverter efficiencies of 92 % were achieved. Experiments verified the positive effect of multi-MHz pulses on DBD lamp efficiency and power density. Instead of simulations, the development was driven by theoretical calculations and real world measurements. The main pulse inverter components as well as the DBD lamps are characterised by means of frequency-resolved impedance measurements with high-voltage DC bias. Building on the results, the parasitic inductance of power stages and gate drive circuits was significantly reduced. Basing on the requirements for HF operation SiC power semiconductor switches are benchmarked and by means of an alternative approach, a modular Si-MOSFET equipped 2.7 kV matrix switch design is presented. Based on the state-of-the-art, characteristic electrical parameters of possible pulse voltage wave-shapes are discussed. Beyond that, this work contains a theoretical study on the influence of the different DBD capacitances on the energy support of the transient DBD plasma and on the energy that needs to be provided by the inverter. Having the focus both on mathematical backgrounds of pulsed resonant circuits and practical implementation of low-inductive power stages, the work at hand marries theory and practice. ◊ 11 ◊ III.

Your Model MF-107 FreqBox™ is a rugged, professional-quality instrument, designed to be equally at home on stage or in the studio. Its great sound comes from the state-of-the- art analog circuitry, designed and built by the folks at Moog Music in Asheville, NC. Your MF-107 FreqBox is a direct descendent of the original modular Moog® synthesizers. It contains several complete modular synth functions: a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with variable waveshape, capable of being hard synced and frequency modulated by the audio input, and an envelope follower which allows the dynamics of the input signal to modulate the frequency of the VCO. In addition the amplitude of the VCO is controlled by the dynamics of the input signal, and the VCO can be mixed with the audio input. All performance parameters are voltage-controllable, which means that you can use expression pedals, MIDI-to-CV converter, or any other source of control voltages to 'play' your MF-107. Control voltage outputs mean that the MF-107 can be used with other moogerfoogers or voltage controlled devices like the Minimoog Voyager® or Little Phatty® synthesizers. While you can use it on the floor as a conventional effects box, your MF-107 FreqBox is much more versatile and its sound quality is higher than the single fixed function "stomp boxes" that you may be accustomed to.

Bradley, Clerk Plaintiffs, § § 1Jcrsus § Civil Action H-I2-r8II § § Petroleum Analyzer Company, L.P., § § Defendant. § Findings and Conclusions 1. Background. Franek Olstowski worked for Petroleum Analyzer Company, L.P., before becoming president and part-owner of ATOM Instrument Corporation. ATOM and Petroleum develop, manufacture, and repair instruments for chemical analysis of hydrocarbons. In 2002, while working as a consultant for Petroleum, Olstowski developed an excimer light source to detect sulfur using ultraviolet fluorescence. He did this separately from his work at Petroleum. In 2003 and 2005, under a non-disclosure agreement, Petroleum and he talked about licensing his technology but did not reach an agreement. Olstowski was awarded a patent in 2007. Excimer is short for excited dimer. It is a combination of a noble gas and a reactive gas that produces ultraviolet light when excited by electricity. Possible combinations include krypton and chloride, xenon and chloride, and xenon and bromine. An excimer detects, in this case, sulfur by making it glow. like an excimer, :z;inc or cadmium can be used as a source of ultraviolet light. In 2006, Petroleum sued ATOM and Olstowski in Texas state court, claiming ownership of the excimer technology. In their contract, Olstowski and Petroleum had agreed to arbitrate, so the court sent them to do that. The arbitration panel awarded Olstowski ownership of all the technology.

  • The 1-Bit Instrument: the Fundamentals of 1-Bit Synthesis
    BLAKE TROISE The 1-Bit Instrument The Fundamentals of 1-Bit Synthesis, Their Implementational Implications, and Instrumental Possibilities ABSTRACT The 1-bit sonic environment (perhaps most famously musically employed on the ZX Spectrum) is defined by extreme limitation. Yet, belying these restrictions, there is a surprisingly expressive instrumental versatility. This article explores the theory behind the primary, idiosyncratically 1-bit techniques available to the composer-programmer, those that are essential when designing “instruments” in 1-bit environments. These techniques include pulse width modulation for timbral manipulation and means of generating virtual polyph- ony in software, such as the pin pulse and pulse interleaving techniques. These methodologies are considered in respect to their compositional implications and instrumental applications. KEYWORDS chiptune, 1-bit, one-bit, ZX Spectrum, pulse pin method, pulse interleaving, timbre, polyphony, history 2020 18 May on guest by http://online.ucpress.edu/jsmg/article-pdf/1/1/44/378624/jsmg_1_1_44.pdf from Downloaded INTRODUCTION As unquestionably evident from the chipmusic scene, it is an understatement to say that there is a lot one can do with simple square waves. One-bit music, generally considered a subdivision of chipmusic,1 takes this one step further: it is the music of a single square wave. The only operation possible in a -bit environment is the variation of amplitude over time, where amplitude is quantized to two states: high or low, on or off. As such, it may seem in- tuitively impossible to achieve traditionally simple musical operations such as polyphony and dynamic control within a -bit environment. Despite these restrictions, the unique tech- niques and auditory tricks of contemporary -bit practice exploit the limits of human per- ception.

Externally applying high-energy electrons to a sealed lamp containing a noble gas or noble gas hydride compound generates intense plasma discharge (dielectric barrier discharge). This plasma features high-energy electron content, and can be extinguished instantly. The plasma discharge instantly excites the atoms of the discharge gas (noble gas) to their excimer (Xe) state (high- energy orbital atoms form excimer excited molecules). The excimer-specific spectrum is emitted when atoms return from this excimer state to their original condition (ground state). This emission is called VUV light.
