Hierarchical convolutional neural networks are a well-known robust image-recognition model. In order to apply this model to robot vision or various intelligent vision systems, its VLSI implementation with high performance and low power consumption is required. This paper proposes a convolutional network VLSI architecture using a hybrid approach composed of pulse-width modulation (PWM) and digit...

Algorithms of space-vector-based synchronized pulsewidth modulation (PWM) have been applied for control of dual-inverter fed open-end winding induction motor drives supplied by two isolated dc-sources with non-equal voltages. Results of modeling and simulation of these systems proved the fact, that techniques of synchronized PWM provide continuous phase voltage symmetry (quarter-wave symmetry, ...

This paper presents a simplified hybrid pulsewidth modulation (HPWM) algorithm to reduce the steady state ripple in current. In the conventional space vector PWM (CSVPWM) algorithm, the zero voltage applying time is distributed equally in every sampling interval. Also, this paper deals with two discontinuous PWM (DPWM) algorithms, which use only one zero state in each sampling interval. The pro...

Several lines of evidence suggest the importance of phonological working memory (PWM) in language acquisition. We investigated the neural correlates of PWM in young adults who were under compelling social pressure to be bilingual. Equal bilinguals had high proficiency in English and Chinese as measured by a standardized examination, whereas unequal bilinguals were proficient in English but not ...

This paper investigated the losses and thermal characteristics of induction motors operated from pulse width-modulated (PWM) voltage supply in comparison to that operated from sinusoidal voltage supply. It was concluded that due to the abundant harmonics in the PWM waveforms, significant losses are induced in the motor by the inverter supply. The temperature ascends correspondingly. Switching f...

This paper presents an efficient and reliable Genetic Algorithm-based solution for Specific Harmonic Elimination (SHE) switching pattern. This method eliminates considerable amount of lower order line voltage harmonics in Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter. The determination of pulse pattern for the elimination of some lower order harmonics of a PWM inverter necessitates solving a system of ...

Dead-time is necessary to prevent the short circuit of the power supply in PWM Inverters or converters. But, it will result in output voltage deviations and in case of lower values of current, lower order harmonics will be taken into account. So, dead-time elimination is required in all PWM Inverters or converters. This paper is dealing with a summary of dead-time effects in PWM inverters and v...

Pulse width modulation (PWM) converters are frequently used due to unity power factor operation with reduced total harmonic distortion (THD) at ac mains and also provide constant-regulated dc output voltage even under fluctuations of ac voltage and dc load. This paper contains the harmonics analysis of sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) technique and space vector PWM (SVPWM) technique for three-phase AC to ...

This paper proposes a new discrete fuzzy-tuning current-vector control (FTC) scheme for three-phase pulsewidth modulation (PWM) inverters. The proposed current control scheme can achieve fast transient responses and, at the same time, have very low total harmonic distortion in output current during steady-state operation. The proposed FTC scheme generates quasi-optimum PWM patterns by using a c...
