New Button Structure For Magnet Switches, Hp Inc Dec 2024

New Button Structure For Magnet Switches, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This study involves the design of button structures for magnetic switches. Currently, magnetic switches are very popular in the gaming market, with many products, especially gaming keyboards, using magnetic switches and keycaps. However, there is a problem with the magnetic switches on the market that is difficult to improve through magnetism alone, namely that the difference in magnetic flux is difficult for sensors to detect. To solve this problem, this study proposes a hook structure with a pre-travel setup on the button or keycap, which helps sensors detect the difference in magnetic flux more easily. At the same time, this …


Disturbance Observer-Based Control Schemes For Off-Grid Renewable Energy-Based Distributed Generation Systems Feeding Unbalanced And Nonlinear Loads, Samantha Sasi Stephen Dec 2024

Disturbance Observer-Based Control Schemes For Off-Grid Renewable Energy-Based Distributed Generation Systems Feeding Unbalanced And Nonlinear Loads, Samantha Sasi Stephen

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

This thesis addresses two critical issues in Renewable Energy-based Distributed Generation (REDG) systems that operate autonomously to supply unbalanced and nonlinear loads. The first issue concerns voltage regulation in grid-forming three-phase Pulse Width Modulation Voltage Source Inverters (PWM VSIs), which convert DC power generated by Distributed Generators (DGs) into three-phase AC power. These inverters often face challenges when feeding unbalanced and nonlinear loads, leading to poor voltage quality. To address this, a voltage controller was developed for grid-forming three-phase PWM VSIs to deliver symmetrical and high-quality voltage to such loads. The proposed controller integrates a Disturbance Observer (DO) into a …


Ecological Niches Applied To Socioeconomic Phenomena: The Case Of The Colombian Internal Conflict, Alexander Alegría, Laura Jiménez, Jhon Jairo Alvarado-Quintero Dec 2024

Ecological Niches Applied To Socioeconomic Phenomena: The Case Of The Colombian Internal Conflict, Alexander Alegría, Laura Jiménez, Jhon Jairo Alvarado-Quintero

Peace and Conflict Studies

Recent studies of the Colombian conflict have shown that struggle for resource accumulation and territorial control, in a very competitive and violent environment in which the illegal armed groups are involved, is crucial to their survival and development. Here, we applied a highly successful methodology from ecology (Ecological Niche Modelling) to the problem of identifying the ideal socioeconomic conditions for the presence of a Colombian illegal armed group, named the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). We analyzed some determining factors of FARC´s presence and permanence within the Colombian territory that reflect aspects of the socioeconomic dynamics and productive capacity …

The Relationship Between Sleep Hygiene Practices And Nocturnal Sleep For Midlife Women With And Without Insomnia, Rita Elaine Cheek Dec 2024

The Relationship Between Sleep Hygiene Practices And Nocturnal Sleep For Midlife Women With And Without Insomnia, Rita Elaine Cheek

Dissertations

In this study sleep hygiene practices and perceived and somnographic sleep indicators were analyzed for 92 women with insomnia and 29 women with no insomnia ages 40 to 55. Women recorded practices and perceptions in diaries during 6 days of polysomnographic sleep monitoring. Self-reported practices included smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, drinking caffeine, and exercising. Optimal sleep hygiene practices include abstaining from tobacco and alcohol or caffeine intake while getting regular exercise and maintaining a regular schedule for sleeping. Perceptions included sleep onset latency, awakenings, restfulness after sleeping, and sleep quality.

Evaluation Of An Alternative Prenatal Care Visit Schedule For Low-Risk Pregnant Women, Deborah Sue Walker Dec 2024

Evaluation Of An Alternative Prenatal Care Visit Schedule For Low-Risk Pregnant Women, Deborah Sue Walker

Dissertations

While the current prenatal visit schedule is widely accepted as providing the highest quality prenatal care and followed by health care practitioners in this country and abroad, it is not based on sound scientific evidence. The frequency and timing of visits which provide the critical threshold to make a difference in outcomes, especially in women who are healthy and considered to be at low-risk for pregnancy complications, is not clear. Women attending prenatal care at a free-standing birthing center (N = 81) staffed by certified nurse-midwives participated in this prospective, randomized study designed to evaluate the effects of an alternative …
