Improved Photoacoustic Generator

Improved Open Photoacoustic Helmholtz Cell

This paper presents the design of an open photoacoustic Helmholtz cell in which high acoustic volumes with quarter-wave ducts act as high-impedance separators between themainHelmholtz cell structure and the exterior. As a result, penetration of the external acoustic noise into the cell was substantially reduced in comparison to earlier open Helmholtz cell designs. Although the presented cell is...

An improved RNS generator

This paper presents a new scheme for designing residue generators using threshold logic. This approach is based on the periodicity of the series of powers of 2 taken modulo k n ± 2 . In addition, a new algorithm is proposed to obtain a new set of partitions which are more advantageous in terms of area and delay for the presented topology. Experimental results in the analized range of k and n sh...

Improved generator objectives for GANs

We present a framework to understand GAN training as alternating density ratio estimation, and approximate divergence minimization. This provides an interpretation for the mismatched GAN generator and discriminator objectives often used in practice, and explains the problem of poor sample diversity. Further, we derive a family of generator objectives that target arbitrary f -divergences without...

A Cost Effective Generator Brake For Improved Generator Transient Response

A cost effective, low maintenance generator brake is proposed using recent developments in thick film, metal oxide resistors. The brake has very low resistance, and virtually no inductance, allowing its use &ring a fault to slow a generator’s acceleration. Simulation results using the 39 Bus New England system show that placing brakes at each machine dramatically increases the global stability ...
