A slider-crank wave energy converter (WEC) is a novel energy conversion device. It converts wave energy into electricity at a relatively high efficiency, and it features a simple structure. Past analysis on this particular WEC has been done under regular sinusoidal wave conditions, and suboptimal energy could be achieved. This paper presents the analysis of the system under irregular wave conditions;...

Miniature motors have attracted much attention in recent decades. In the design of miniature motors, geometry and assembly simplicity of the drive mechanism is critical. Among various drive mechanisms, the impact drive mechanism (IDM) has such simplicity that compromises the inertia force and the friction force to achieve a stick-slip motion, and thus has great potential for applications in miniature...
Due to simple and robust configuration, and without any coils and magnets on movers, a tubular linear switched reluctance actuator (TLSRA) is a promising candidate for applications of frequently reciprocating linear motion, such as linear compressors and automotive active suspension sys-tems[1-2]. For air-gap in a TLSRA, there are the longitudinal and transverse magnetic paths due to various mover...
This paper presents a novel slider crank power take-off system and wave tracking control methodology for efficiently converting the energy of open ocean waves into electrical energy. The Wave Energy Converter (WEC) and Power Take-off System (PTOS) are modeled and a non-parametric control strategy to maximize energy extraction under regular sinusoidal wave condition is introduced. Energy extraction...
The Joule Balance is one of the several promising methods for the precise measurement of the Planck constant h to redefine the kilogram. Compared with the Watt Balance, it benefits from its all static measurements. For the new generation of the Joule balance, a magnet system with high-permeability material is designed to reduce the problem of coil heating. Simulations are carried out to demonstrate...
The Joule Balance method, for the same purpose but different from the Watt Balance method, is going on at NIM for several years. The first measurement result of the Planck constant h is 6.6261(5)×10−34Js with a measurement uncertainty of 7.7 × 10−5. The further plan for improvement is discussed.
Many dynamic simulation programs contain complex, irregular memory reference patterns, and require runtime optimizations to enhance data locality. Current approaches periodically stop the execution of an application to reorder the computation or data based on the current program state to improve the data locality for the next period of execution. In this work, we examine the implications that modern...
The precise measurement of Planck Constant h to establish a kind of quantum mass standard is an important but very difficult work. The Joule Balance method, for the same purpose but different from Watt Balance method, is going on in NIM for three years. The principle and progress are described.
