In this paper, chiral E-shaped resonators are used in a waveguide. Direction of EM wave and position of resonators for effective excitation is studied and various resonances of E-shaped resonators are determined. As a consequence an analytical equivalent circuit model is proposed. Finally, an array of these resonators is used to realize a wide reject band. The resulted band stop filter performa...

This paper proposes a new adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) for a class of nonlinear systems perturbed by noise which is not necessarily additive. The proposed filter is adaptive against the uncertainty in the process and measurement noise covariances. This is accomplished by deriving two recursive updating rules for the noise covariances, these rules are easy to implement and reduce the n...

we have designed a new type of optical channel drop filter (cdf) based on two dimensionaltriangular lattice photonic crystals. cdf operation is based on coupling to the photonic crystalwaveguide. the proposed structure is optimized to work as a cdf for obtaining the cdfcharacteristics and band structure of the filter the finite difference time domain (fdtd) method andplane wave expansion (pwe) ...

this paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with random pwm technique (rvsc) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. this control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

this paper presents novel active filter for mitigation electromagnetic interference (emi) and other adverse effects of pulse width modulation (pwm) inverter-fed ac motor system. an active filter proposed and devised for this system is characterized by sophisticated connection of two small separate filters, capable of mitigating all the adverse effects. this paper provides high frequency models ...

background: diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is often made based on clinical manifesta­tion. correct diagnosis and identification of the parasite are crucial for choosing the effective treat­ment and for epidemiological studies. on the other hand, determination of leishmania species is nec­essary for designing appropriate control programs. diagnosis by pcr is becoming a 'gold standard'...
