For the power quality improvement of the system FACTS devices like static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), static synchronous series compensator(SSSC), interline power flow controller (IPFC), and unified power flow controller (UPFC) etc. are introduced. These devices are used for the transmission system. But now a day’s these FACTS devices are used for distribution system and called as custom...

The article applies a new approach to microminiaturization of the VHF radio path with significant improvement its main characteristics based on acoustoelectronic elements SAW. In particular, instead intermediate frequency filter (IF), which in most cases is implemented help "coil " products (LC circuits), CSF (concentrated selection filter) proposed be characteristic curve, and same traditional...

The clarification of biological feed stocks during the production of biopharmaceutical proteins is challenging when large quantities of particles must be removed, e.g., when processing crude plant extracts. Single-use depth filters are often preferred for clarification because they are simple to integrate and have a good safety profile. However, the combination of filter layers must be optimize...

Present era of the mobile computing and multimedia technology demands high performance and low power Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI) digital signal processing (DSP) systems. The availability of larger Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices has started a shift of System-on-Chip (SoC) designs towards using reprogrammable FPGAs, thereby starting a new era of System-on-a-reprogramm...

Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) has emerged as a promising platform for photonic integrated circuits, with fast-growing toolbox of components. This paper proposes, designs, and experimentally demonstrates compact subwavelength grating (SWG) waveguides an LNOI on-chip mode polarization manipulation. To overcome the limitation waveguide fabrication, SWGs are designed formed silicon nitride th...

BACKGROUND A variety of different sampling devices are currently available to acquire air samples for the study of the microbiome of the air. All have a degree of technical complexity that limits deployment. Here, we evaluate the use of a novel device, which has no technical complexity and is easily deployable. RESULTS An air-cleaning device powered by electrokinetic propulsion has been adapt...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Abciximab, a nonselective glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, was shown to reduce peri-interventional stroke rate in carotid stenting. We evaluated the effect of adjunct abciximab therapy on monocyte-platelet cross talk and neurological deficit in unprotected carotid stenting and compared its efficacy with distal filter protection. METHODS Fifty patients were randomized to...

We present a simple method of constructing synthetic discriminant function filters optimized to take into account the modulation of liquid-crystal devices. This relaxation algorithm, a generalization of the Jared and Ennis method, is an iterative method that includes arbitrary modulations for both scene and filter, extending the problem to the complex plane. Simulated and experimental results o...
