There is a growing need to analyze and optimize the stand-by component of power in digital circuits designed for portable and battery-powered applications. Since these circuits remain in stand-by (or sleep) mode significantly longer than in active mode, their stand-by current, and not their active switching current, determines their battery life. Hence, stringent specifications are being placed...

In the next section we discuss the advantages of depicting graphically the spectrograph light path. In section four we discuss our philosophy regarding user interaction. In section five we compare two approaches for working within limited screen space. Section six describes the stand alone simulation mode used for training and debugging. Finally, in section seven we discuss the development tool...

Nonlinear system theory ideas have led to a method for approximating the dynamics of a nonlinear system in a bounded region of its state space, by training a feedforward neural network which is then reconfigured in recursive mode to provide a stand-alone simulator of the system. The input layer of the neural network contains time-delayed samples of one or more system outputs and control inputs....

This paper proposes a sliding mode controller based on robust model reference adaptive proportional-integral (RMRA-PI) control for stand-alone voltage source inverter (SA-VSI). The proposed has two loops where the coefficients of PI are regulated by law. method is used to regulate output under different load conditions and uncertainty, adapts reduce total harmonic distortion (THD). In this pape...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE To compare perioperative characteristics of stand-alone cages and anterior cervical plates used for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). METHODS We reviewed 40 adult patients who received a stand-alone cage for elective ACDF and matched them with 40 patients who received an anterior cervical plate. We statistically compared opera...

Vibration energy harvesting is being pursued as a means to power wireless sensors and ultra-low power autonomous devices. From a design standpoint, matching the electrical damping induced by the energy harvesting mechanism to the mechanical damping in the system is necessary for maximum efficiency. In this work two independent energy harvesting techniques are coupled to provide higher electrica...

SUMMARY PyRosetta is a stand-alone Python-based implementation of the Rosetta molecular modeling package that allows users to write custom structure prediction and design algorithms using the major Rosetta sampling and scoring functions. PyRosetta contains Python bindings to libraries that define Rosetta functions including those for accessing and manipulating protein structure, calculating ene...
