Transformerless Step-Up Inverter Based On Switched-Capacitor Converter Technology by Neilor Colombo Dal Pont, Gierri Waltrich, Telles Brunelli Lazzarin

“… In this paper the integration between a voltage source inverter (VSI) and a switched capacitor converter (SCC) is proposed to generate a sinusoidal waveform with a double peak voltage value at the converter output terminal, without the use of a transformer or a dc-dc boost converter. The novel structure (VSI-SCC) is designed as a transformerless step-up inverter with linear gain. …”

CPAP improves sleep stability and attenuates acute nocturnal hypertension (NBPF) in OSA, with maximal benefits in severe cases by Liangcai Yu, Lan Shu, Simin Gao, Lin Li

“…NBPF was defined as the number of events per hour where nocturnal systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased by &gt;12 mmHg.Results(1) Baseline characteristics: N1%, N2%, SBP, DBP, and NBPF significantly increased, while R% and N3% significantly decreased with increasing severity of OSA (p &lt; 0.05). (2) Overall efficacy: After CPAP treatment, N1% significantly decreased, N3% significantly increased, and DBP and NBPF significantly decreased (p &lt; 0.05). (3) Subgroup analysis: All patients experienced significant reductions in MAI, N1%, N2%, and NBPF, and significant increases in R% after CPAP treatment (p &lt; 0.05); N3% significantly increased in moderate and severe patients (p &lt; 0.05); SBP and DBP improvements were most significant in severe patients (p &lt; 0.05). (4) Correlation and linear regression analysis: NBPF was significantly correlated with sleep structure parameters, showing an independent positive correlation with MAI (β = 0.375, p &lt; 0.001) and an independent negative correlation with N3% (β = −0.143, p = 0.001).ConclusionThe first night of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy significantly improves sleep architecture and effectively reduces nocturnal blood pressure while suppressing acute systolic blood pressure (NBPF) elevations in OSA patients, especially those with severe disease.…”

Revocable and traceable key-policy attribute-based encryption scheme by Fang QI, Yanmei LI, Zhe TANG

“…The existing key-policy attribute-based encryption (KP-ABE) scheme can not balance the problem of attribute revocation and user identity tracking.Hence,a KP-ABE scheme which supported revocable and traceable was proposed.The scheme could revoke the user attributes without updating the system public key and user private key with a less update cost.Meanwhile,it could trace the user identity based on decryption key which could effectively prevent anonymous user key leakage problem.The proposed scheme was based on linear secret sharing scheme (LSSS),which was more efficient than tree-based access structure.Based on the deterministic q-BDHE hypothesis,the proposed scheme gave security proof until standard mode.Finally,compared with the existing KP-ABE scheme,the scheme has a shorter public key length,lower computational overhead and realizes the traceability function of user identity based on the revocable attribute,which has obvious advantages.…”
