A driving circuit for driving a switch element, which includes a control terminal, a first power terminal and a second power terminal. The second power terminal receives a first voltage. The driving circuit includes a switching circuit, a first unidirectional switch and a first capacitor. The switching circuit receives a first signal. The switching circuit is electrically connected with a first voltage terminal and a ground terminal. The first voltage terminal receives a second voltage. A voltage at the output terminal is switched between the second voltage and a ground voltage. A first terminal of the first unidirectional switch receives a third voltage. A first terminal of the first capacitor is connected with the output terminal of the switching circuit. A second terminal of the first capacitor is connected with a second terminal of the first unidirectional switch and the control terminal of the first switch element.

A method of operating a vibrational energy harvesting system includes providing an energy harvester and an energy storage module. The energy storage module is coupled to the energy harvester to transfer energy to the energy storage module. The method also includes determining whether the energy transferred exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method further includes limiting the energy transferred to the energy storage module by a passive device when the energy transferred exceeds the predetermined threshold.

A planar antenna can include one or more high permeability objects that are added near the planar coil's tips. Further, the planar antenna includes a coil having two or more layers, with each layer having two or more turns. The planar antenna also has a restricted conductor arrangement, where there are a maximum number of turns arranged in any horizontal layer. A turn's conductor could be a single conductor or could be two (2) or more conductors arranged in parallel.

The present application discloses a magnetic core structure and an electric reactor. The magnetic core structure includes an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate which are arranged oppositely and at least one wrapping post having two ends connected to the upper cover plate and lower cover plate, respectively. A cross-sectional area of the upper cover plate and/or of the lower cover plate is larger than that of the wrapping post. The upper cover plate, the lower cover plate and the wrapping post are made of a magnetic powder core material, an amorphous material, a nanocrystalline material or a silicon steel material. Since the cross-sectional area of the upper cover plate and/or of the lower cover plate is larger than that of the wrapping post, this may bring excellent DC-Bias characteristic to an electric reactor or inductor, and make the electric reactor or inductor have lower magnetic core loss.
