  2. Cycloconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloconverter

    A cycloconverter (CCV) or a cycloinverter converts a constant amplitude, constant frequency AC waveform to another AC waveform of a lower frequency by synthesizing the output waveform from segments of the AC supply without an intermediate DC link (Dorf 1993, pp. 2241–2243 and Lander 1993, p. 181). There are two main types of CCVs, circulating ...

  3. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

    A cycloconverter is also a type of frequency changer. Unlike a VFD, which is an indirect frequency changer since it uses an AC-DC stage and then a DC-AC stage, a cycloconverter is a direct frequency changer because it uses no intermediate stages. Another application is in the aerospace and airline industries. Often airplanes use 400 Hz power so ...

  4. Tap converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_converter

    The tap converter is a variation on the cycloconverter, invented in 1981 by New York City electrical engineer Melvin Sandler and significantly functionally enhanced in 1982 through 1984 by graduate students Mariusz Wrzesniewski, Bruce David Wilner, and Eddie Fung.

  5. Child and Youth Care - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_and_Youth_Care

    Child and Youth Care (CYC) is a profession which focuses on the developmental needs of children and families within the space and time of their daily lives. [1] Child and Youth Care is primarily a way of working with others and practitioners can be found in a variety of roles including direct care, private practice, educator, trainer, writer, supervisor, manager, researcher, and more.

  6. AC-to-AC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-to-AC_converter

    A cycloconverter constructs an output, variable-frequency, approximately sinusoid waveform by switching segments of the input waveform to the output; there is no intermediate DC link. With switching elements such as SCRs, the output frequency must be lower than the input.

  7. Synchronverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronverter

    Figure 1. A simple diagram of synchronverter operation environment. Synchronverters or virtual synchronous generators [1] [2] are inverters which mimic synchronous generators (SG) [3] to provide "synthetic inertia" for ancillary services in electric power systems. [4]

  8. Child care - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_care

    Childcare, also known as day care, is the care and supervision of one or more children, typically ranging from two weeks to 18 years old.Although most parents spend a significant amount of time caring for their child(ren), childcare typically refers to the care provided by caregivers who are not the child's parents.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_child_care...

    Residential child care communities or children's homes are a type of residential care, which refers to long-term care given to children who cannot stay in their birth family home. There are two different approaches towards residential care: The family model (using married couples who live with a certain number of children) and the shift care model.
