We consider the problem of commanding the electronic power interfaces of the microgenerators in a low voltage microgrid for the task of optimal reactive power compensation. In this work, we analyze the convergence of the strategy proposed by Tenti et al. (2012). The proof of convergence gives some additional insight on the behavior of the algorithm and allows the characterization of its rate of...

This paper presents a new class AB programmable square-root domain (SRD) filter. The main advantages of the proposed circuits are low power consumption, wide input dynamic range with small standby current and potential for low-voltage operation. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed design technique and the high performance of the proposed circuits. Key-Words: Square-root doma...

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JF’L) has built several optical interferometers using a common software framework developed for this purpose. The heart of this framework is the Realtime Control (RTC) software product. RTC has evolved from its initial implementation to include a powerful dynamic configuration capability and to use Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) technology for c...

Offline strategies and contingency plans are not adequately flexible in these settings. We are seeking online methods for commanding and advising collectives in order to adjust how individuals relate to one another and to their group. These methods provide social control. In this paper we offer design and initial implementation of a framework for social control in the domain of reconnaissance a...

‘O. what a world of unseen visions and heard silences, this insubstantial country of the mind! What ineffable essences, these touchless rememberings and unshowable reveries! And the privacy of it all! A secret theatre of speechless monologue and prevenient counsel, an invisible mansion of all moods, musings, and mysteries, an infinite resort of disappointments and discoveries. A whole kingdom w...

Empirical work by the IMP Group suggests that actor bonds are formed by trust and identity, yet no theoretical grounds have been offered for these conclusions. This paper proposes a specific definition of actor and actor bonds within contexts defined by time variance with regard to the object of interaction and the commanding capability of the actor. This perspective allows psychological and so...

Agricultural and rural informatization is the strategic commanding heights of agricultural modernization, improvement farmers' digital literacy core task construction. In age, development platform economy has given Internet enterprises a new connotation social responsibility to improve literacy. By strengthening governance enhance willingness use digital, promoting science technology for good s...

Heritage space telescope mirror technology—i.e. large, monolithic glass primary mirrors—has reached an upper limit on allowable aperture diameter given launch vehicle volume and mass constraints. The next generation of space telescopes will feature lightweight, actively controlled, segmented primary mirrors in order to achieve the advances in angular resolution and sensitivity that larger apert...
