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 VLSI convolutional network architecture using a hybrid approach composed of pulse-width modulation (PWM) and digit...

In this paper, the basic algebraic properties of the optimal PWM problem for single-phase inverters are revealed. Specifically, it is shown that the nonlinear design equations given by the standard mathematical formulation of the problem can be reformulated, and that the sought solution can be found by computing the roots of a single univariate polynomial ( ), for which algorithms are readily a...

We designed a microfluidic module that generates complex and dynamic concentration profiles of multiple molecules over a large concentration range using pulse-width modulation (PWM). Our PWM module can combine up to six different inputs and select among three downstream mixing channels, as required by the application. The module can produce concentrations with a dynamic range of three decades. ...

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques are increasingly employed for PWM inverter fed induction motor drive. Among various popular PWM methods used, Selective Harmonic Elimination PWM (SHEPWM) has been widely accepted for its better harmonic elimination capability. In addition, using SHEPWM, it is also possible to maintain better voltage regulation. Hence, in this paper, an attempt has been ma...

The functional properties of B lymphocytes in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were analysed by means of a reverse haemolytic plaque forming cell (PFC) assay. SF mononuclear cells spontaneously secreted IgG, but little IgM or IgA. The SF cells failed to respond to the polyclonal B cell activators pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and Epstein-Barr virus. However, SF B cells ...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY: Received 15 September 2012 Revised 15 August 2013 Accepted 22 August 2013 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 ...

Transcriptional regulation mainly controls how genes are expressed and how cells behave based on the transcription factor (TF) proteins that bind upstream of the transcription start sites (TSSs) of genes. These TF DNA binding sites (TFBSs) are usually short (5-15 base pairs) and degenerate (some positions can have multiple possible alternatives). Traditionally, computational methods scan DNA se...

Neuroinflammation elicited by microglia plays a key role in periventricular white matter (PWM) damage (PWMD) induced by infectious exposure. This study aimed to determine if microglia-derived interleukin-1β (IL-1β) would induce hypomyelination through suppression of maturation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the developing PWM. Sprague-Dawley rats (1-day old) were injected with li...

Analysis and practical implementation of the regular symmetric sampled three-phase PWM inverter waveform has been presented in this paper. It is digitally implemented on a Xilinx field programmable gate array FPGA, and the essential considerations involved in the feasibility of using a Xilinx XC4008E software-based to generate PWM has been discussed. All the necessary Xilinx hardware/software t...

This paper presents the comparative study of three phase twenty five level diode clamped and cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters. The comparison is made in respect of requirement of devices, quality of output voltage and reduction of total harmonic distortion at the multilevel inverter terminals. In this work multicarrier sinusoidal pulse modulation control methods of Phase disposition (PD-P...
