A clipper circuit uses diodes to remove parts of the waveform above or below a certain threshold. There are positive and negative clipper circuits that remove the positive or negative half of the input waveform. Biased clippers add a battery to change where the signal is clipped. A combination clipper removes parts of both halves of the input waveform. A clamper circuit adds a DC offset to an AC signal without changing its shape using a diode, capacitor, and resistor. Clampers are used to increase the wavelength of an input wave, such as in audio amplifiers.
Clippers and clampers are diode-based circuits used to modify signal waveforms. Clippers eliminate portions of an input signal to "clip" the waveform, and are used to remove noise or create new waveforms. They come in series and parallel types. Series clippers place the diode in series with the load, and clip voltages that don't forward bias the diode. Parallel clippers take the output across the diode, producing the voltage when it is not conducting. Clampers "clamp" a signal to a different DC level using a capacitor, diode, and resistor. The capacitor stores a reference voltage to set the output level when the diode is non-conducting.
Clipper and clamper circuits are used to modify signal waveforms. Clipper circuits remove portions of a signal that exceed a reference level, cutting off either positive or negative portions. Clamper circuits shift the entire signal up or down without changing its shape, setting either the positive or negative peak at a desired level. Common circuit types include positive and negative clippers and clampers, which use diodes and capacitors to clip or shift the signal in a particular direction relative to the reference level.

Resonant pulse commutation uses an auxiliary thyristor to discharge the capacitor and create reverse voltage across the main thyristor. Complementary commutation uses one thyristor to turn off the other in alternating fashion. Impulse commutation uses an inductor to create oscillating current for

- Tunnel diodes exploit the tunneling effect to conduct at very low voltages and exhibit negative resistance. They are used in oscillators.
- Schottky diodes have a metal-semiconductor junction and fast switching times, used in high-frequency applications.
- PIN diodes act as variable resistors when forward biased and capacitors when reverse biased, used in RF switching and modulation.
- Varactor diodes have variable capacitance when reverse biased, used in electronic tuning circuits.
Diode applications include rectifiers, clippers, clampers, voltage multipliers, and Zener voltage regulators. Rectifiers convert AC to pulsating DC and are classified as half-wave or full-wave. Clippers control waveform shape by removing portions. Clampers combine a diode and capacitor to clamp an AC signal to a DC level. Voltage multipliers produce an output DC voltage that is an integer multiple of the peak AC input. Zener diodes act as voltage regulators, providing a constant output voltage at their breakdown voltage.
Diode applications can be configured in series or parallel circuits. In series configurations, the diode resistance is small compared to other elements when forward biased, and has high resistance when reverse biased. Parallel and series-parallel configurations determine network resistances. Half-wave rectification only passes one half of the AC cycle. Peak inverse voltage must exceed the peak AC voltage to prevent reverse breakdown. Clippers and clampers use diodes to modify input signals without distortion.

Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
