A device for the total suppression of Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) that structures suffer when exposed to currents. Typical marine structures that are prone to VIV are riser pipes, spar buoys and platforms, tendons, catenaries, mooring systems, etc. The invention not only completely suppresses VIV in the structures but also generate drag reductions in the structures. The device comprises a rigid mesh (1) formed by a rigid grid pattern of intersecting elements with certain mesh densities and sizes. The suppression system is to be installed around a structure (2) at a specific fixed distance, thereby resulting in a rigid cylindrical mesh of radius (r) with a size (s) of the clearance of the mesh and a diameter of the wires (di) that are expressed as a function of the structure diameter (D). The parameters "r" and "s" determine the degree of suppression of VIV.

The voltage-sensing circuit structure is intended to avoid fast-scale subharmonic instabilities in switching power converters, comprising a compact circuit structure to be connected at the output of a switching power converter, by means of which the sensed feedback voltage is altered with a double transfer function so that concurrently the ripple component is amplified to obtain an enhanced fast- scale stability margin while attenuating the converter output voltage ripple in the power path.

Microfluidic device for rapid isolation of a compound or component contained in a sample together with other components, comprising in a matrix material a sample inlet (5) for introducing said sample, a first electrolyte reservoir (1) and a second electrolyte reservoir (2), comprising a first and second electrode, said electrodes embracing the first separation means, comprising a membrane (4), which membrane has a first and a second side, wherein a sample reservoir (3) is located adjacent to the first side of said membrane (4), a third electrolyte reservoir (6), comprising a third electrode, embracing with said first electrode and second separation means capable of separating said component from the other components of said sample, that separation means having an inlet and an exit, whereby said inlet is connected to said sample reservoir (3) by a duct comprising a valve (9) and said exit is connected to an opening (7) and via a duct to said third electrolyte reservoir (6). With said device a component contained in a sample can be isolated from other components by introducing said sample into said device and applying a first electrical potential between the first and second electrode, whereby said membrane retains the component to be isolated and concentrates it over said membrane in a sample trapping reservoir. After turning off the first electrical potential a duct connecting the sample trapping reservoir with separation means is opened and an electric potential in a second electric circuit between the first electrode and the third electrode is applied. Thereby a flux transporting the components from the sample trapping reservoir through said separation means is generated and the isolated components after their passage through the separation means are recovered.
