Load balancing is one of the central problems that have to be solved in parallel computation. Here, the problem of distributed, dynamic load balancing for massive parallelism is addressed. A new local method, which realizes a physical analogy to equilibrating liquids in multi-dimensional tori or hypercubes, is presented. It is especially suited for communication mechanisms with low set-up to tr...

Wireless sensor networks represent the next generation of sensing machines and structures. Inherent limited energy resource is the one of the limitations of wireless sensor nodes. In order to distribute the energy dissipated throughout the wireless sensor network, data load of the sensor nodes must be balanced. Clustering is one of the key mechanisms for load balancing. Clustering algorithms ma...

This paper presents the technical performance measurements of biogas premixed charge diesel dual fuelled engine. A 4-stroke research diesel engine was used for the performance analysis. The performance parameters like engine brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency and brake thermal efficiency were measured and compared with conventional diesel with different proporti...

Supercapacitors (SCs) are widely used as energy storage devices in many practical applications of wireless power transfer. However, the modeling and analysis a transfer system seldom based on SC load; thus, effects charging process cannot be analyzed clearly. In this paper, variable-resistance-based method is proposed for constant current charging. First, how to make an equivalent variable resi...

This paper presents a nonisolated, high boost ratio hy-brid transformer dc–dc converter with applications for low-voltage renewable energy sources. The proposed converter utilizes a hy-brid transformer to transfer the inductive and capacitive energy simultaneously, achieving a high boost ratio with a smaller sized magnetic component. As a result of incorporating the resonant operation mode into...

A solid-state microwave generators system is considered as an alternative to the magnetron, in order to inject electromagnetic energy into the cavity of a microwave oven for domestic use. Over current devices, the use of solid state technology allows to control the frequency and phase of the electromagnetic field generated. Considering a simplified cavity with 2 solid state sources, the influen...
