The likelihood principle (LP) is a core issue in disagreements between Bayesian and frequentist statistical theories. Yet statements of the LP are often ambiguous, while arguments for why a Bayesian must accept it rely upon unexamined implicit premises. I distinguish two propositions associated with the LP, which I label LP1 and LP2. I maintain that there is a compelling Bayesian argument for L...

This paper advances a fuzzy control strategy of the phase angle between the voltage and the current of a variable RL load using the system introduced in [3]. This control method is-easy to adapt for performance The paper presents a practical implementation of a fuzzy controller for the control of an induction motor. control of power factor in a circuit with variable inductive load using a switc...

A new design of laser warning system is proposed. This novel system is composed of an optical antenna based on fiber bundle and a spatially modulated stationary Michelson interferometer as Fourier transform device. The interferometer has no moving parts, which can distinguish laser from background noise and from other non-coherent radiation such as flares, sunlight, and lighting. Based on Fouri...

The paper is focused on the transmission of information concerned using conductive properties of the human body as a transmission channel. A physically separated transmitter and receiver can be placed on various parts of the human body. Individual system parts perform data communication with one another. In British and American literature, this principle is referred to as Personal Area Network ...

The idea that the final distribution of the tax burden (economic incidence) does not depend on the initial distribution of tax liabilities (statutory incidence) is referred to as the Liability Side Equivalence principle. This paper tests this principle in the laboratory and finds that subjects who actually have to pay the tax carry a higher tax burden. It is argued that this violation of Liabil...

This paper presents an improved three-phase PFC power rectifier with a three-phase diode rectifier cascaded four-switch boost converter. Its operating principle contains the operating principle of two conventional three-phase PFC power rectifiers: one switch boost converter type and a two switch boost converter type. The operating characteristics of the four switch boost converter type three-ph...

In principle there is a clear divide between science and technology. In practice there isn’t. In principle, while practical inventions can be patented, scientific findings can’t be. In practice, increasingly scientific findings are being patented. The argument of this paper is that this is bad for the advance of science and for the advance of technology. However, because of the blurry lines, it...

This paper deals with theoretical and practical results on aperture synthesis. Full attention is devoted to the Fourier synthesis operation, which proves to be the central issue with regard to the global problem. Different regularization techniques are shown to derive from a unique principle: the Principle of Maximum Entropy on the Mean (PMEM). This is the case for WIPE, as well as for the trad...

Necessary conditions in terms of a local minimum principle are derived for optimal control problems subject to index-1 differential-algebraic equations, pure state constraints and mixed control-state constraints. Differential-algebraic equations are composite systems of differential equations and algebraic equations, which frequently arise in practical applications. The local minimum principle ...
