In this paper, a cross-coupled type AC-DC converter for RFID tags is proposed. The converter consists of 2 charge-pump type AC-DC converters with opposite polarities. In conventional converters, the threshold voltage of a diode switch causes the decrease in power efficiency. By using cross-coupled connection of CMOS switches, the proposed converter can alleviate the influence of the threshold voltage. Hence, it can achieve an AC-DC conversion with high efficiency. Furthermore, the circuit size of the proposed converter is almost the same as that of the conventional circuit. Through SPICE simulations, the following characteristics are obtained: 1. the power efficiency is more than 88 % and 2. the electric power is about 5mW when an output load is 500 Ω. Concerning the power efficiency and the ripple voltage, theoretical design formulas are derived. Furthermore, the validity of the circuit design is confirmed by experiments.

Fine-grained polycrystalline metals have a very high yield stress and excellent workability. Hence, numerous researchers are trying to develop an efficient process to obtain such materials. Our goal is to develop an efficient severe plastic deformation (SPD) process through investigating grain-refinement mechanisms in Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP). In this paper, a series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of severe simple-shear deformations, which are ideally equivalent to SPD applied by typical ECAP processing routes, is performed using three-dimensional models that are thin and have a square shape with a periodic-boundary condition. We analyze the influences of the processing route and initial texture on the microstructural evolution. It is shown that twinning deformations are dominant under the calculated conditions, and that the structural evolution is notably affected by the relationship between the applied simple-shear direction and the characteristic crystal orientation, which can easily cause a twinning deformation. We conclude that Route A, without a rotation of the billet between processes, is the most efficient route. This is because twinning deformations along the simple-shear direction interact with the twin boundaries developed by the stress-component conjugate to the simple-shear. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the influence of the initial texture difference remains in force during multiple processes that have the same sliding plane.

In recent years, nano-crystalline materials have attracted many researchers' attention, but the fracture mechanism has not been fully clarified. In a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, grain size and crystal orientation can be chosen, and their effects on the mechanical properties of nano-crystalline materials can be evaluated clearly. This research first compares the results of crack growth behavior in single crystalline Fe for three typical interatomic potentials (Embedded Atom Method (EAM), Finnis Sinclair (FS), and Second Nearest Neighbor Modified EAM (2NNMEAM) potentials) and a Hybrid potential method, which uses FS potential for bcc structure atoms and 2NNMEAM potential for non-bcc structure atoms. The 2NNMEAM potential is accurate, but the computation time is dozens of times that of FS potential, which is the simplest of the three interatomic potentials. Therefore, the 2NNMEAM potential requires too much calculation for the purpose of this research that analyzes the crack growth behavior in nano-crystalline metals. However, Hybrid potential is able to give results similar to those of the 2NNMEAM potential, and the calculation time is close to that of the FS potential. From these results, the crack extension behavior in relatively large nano-crystalline models is analyzed using the Hybrid potential, and we demonstrate the grain-size dependency of the fracture behavior.

This paper introduces a class of adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO) methods that build on the theory of nonextensive statistical mechanics. These methods combine the traditional position update rule with an annealing schedule that is based on the nonextensive entropy. Comparative experiments conducted on benchmark functions, have showed that the tested algorithms outperform the standard PSO.
