In design and analysis, standard references assume the pedestrian flow as unidirectional. In reality however, pedestrian flow is usually bi-directional. The main question pursued in this paper is that whether the main characteristics of pedestrian flow the same under uni- and bi-directional conditions. In order to achieve this goal, effect of bi-directional stream is inv...

SVBRDF bootstrapping is a new method for data-driven modeling of real-world, spatially-varying reflectance that provides a high resolution result in both the spatial and angular domains. It decomposes reflectance measurement into two phases. The first acquires representatives of high angular dimension but sampled sparsely over the surface, while the second acquires keys of low angular dimension...

conclusions switching ams off may increase biventricular pacing in some patients. case presentation in this case series, we present a combination of far field sensing and automatic mode switching (ams) in six patients. it is found that this combination causes ventricular sensing (vs) episodes with wide qrs and no synchronization. we turn off the ams and alleviate the problem. introduction cardi...

The simulation and investigation of a 32 × 10 Gb/s WDM all-optical bidirectional hybrid communication system for outdoor applications is presented in this article via multidisciplinary softwares. In order to track the condition, strain sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) integrated in-line with optic link (FO-link). Then, free space optical (FSO-link) 4-channel simulated act backup or res...

This paper presents a supercapacitor (SC) module connected in parallel with fuel cell (FC) stack to supply a high-performance Z-Source Inverter (HP-ZSI) feeding a three phase induction motor for hybrid electric vehicles applications. The supercapacitor is connected between the input diode and the bidirectional switch of the highperformance ZSI topology. The indirect field-oriented control (IFOC...

Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are a popular class of switch-based network architectures for constructing scalable parallel computers. Four wormhole MINs built from k ¥ k switches, where k = 2 j for some j, are considered in this paper: traditional MINs (TMINs), dilated MINs (DMINs), MINs with virtual channels (VMINs), and bidirectional MINs (BMINs). The first three MINs are unidire...

Abstract: This paper proposed a new type of converter called Single Phase Switched Inductor Z-source Matrix Converter (SLMC). It is an ac-to-ac converter with diode bridge bidirectional switch cell. The limitations of existing matrix converter like voltage regulation and quality output issues are overcome in the proposed SLMC by adding the switched inductance. The simulation is performed for di...

Bidirectional power converters for electric vehicles (EVs) have received much attention recently, due to either grid-supporting requirements or emergent power supplies. This paper proposes a hybrid modulation of the three-phase dual-active bridge (3ΦDAB) converter for EV charging systems. The designed hybrid modulation allows the converter to switch its modulation between phase-shifted and trap...
