Quasi Class-DE Driving of HIFU Transducer Arrays
Abstract:
Recently, a method was proposed to determine the parameters for each Class DE driver in high-intensity focused ultrasound arrays for efficient operation and to compensate for variations in the impedance of each array element. This work extends that method to consider the effect of switch resistance and to provide limited control on the power delivered to the transducers with a constant supply voltage while keeping a good efficiency. The method is experimentally validated using an integrated driver developed by the authors. This paper also shows that the frequency range for efficient electrical operation is close to the frequency where the transducer array presents a peak in the conversion efficiency.

Antibody Structure and Classes
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.
M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.
