Application of MOSFET Solid State High Frequency Power Supply in Pipe Welding
According to the comparison of solid state high frequency power supply and electron tube high frequency pipe welding power supply, it could be concluded that solid state high frequency power supply is more efficiency, more security, longer life-span and will replace electron tube high frequency pipe welding power supply in not very long time in this field. In this paper, a solid state high frequency pipe welding power supply using MOSFET as the inverter switch components is designed, its operating principle is analyzed, the key technique of section of rectifier and inverter is discussed and the load adaptability, frequency tracking, output power are explained in detail. From the simulation and experiment, it can be seen that the designed method is reasonable and the whole device is high efficiency
A 12 kW/250 kHz series resonant converter for induction heating
The conception and design of a 12 kW/250 kHz series resonant power converter for induction heating applications are described. The developed generator works above resonance in a continuous conduction mode in order to avoid the problem associated with the reverse recovery current of the MOSFETS antiparallel diodes. Both short-circuit protection of the inverter and the real output resonant circuit are described.
Hobbes and the Reception of Leviathan
Although there has been much discussion of the reception of Hobbes’s work, Hobbes’s response to his own reception has rarely received much consideration. This article looks at Hobbes’s engagements with his critics. Far from being rearguard actions by a philosopher under siege, or disingenuous attempts to curry favour with those in power, they can be read as moments when Hobbes in fact sought to convert what he saw as the “truth of speculation into the utility of practice.”
