in this paper, a two-surfaces sliding mode controller (tssmc) is proposed for the voltage tracking control of a two input dc-dc converter in application of electric vehicles (evs). the imperialist competitive algorithm (ica) is used for tuning tssmc parameters. the proposed controller significantly improves the transient response and disturbance rejection of the two input converters while prese...

This paper presents a novel technique for optimizing the efficiency of route discovery. The optimization aims to minimize the number of cached route request (RREQ), which is a significant source of overhead for the dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol. Our proposed technique is based on a decision algorithm that weighs individual links as a path to the necessary destination is being constructe...

We describe a new LIDAR technique for middle atmospheric temperature measurement. The proposed LIDAR exploits the Fe layer in the 80-100-km altitude region. Absolute temperatures are inferred by the use of the Maxwell-Boltzmann relationship from the ratio of LIDAR returns from mesospheric Fe atoms excited at 372 and 374 nm, corresponding to the ground-state resonance line and a thermally popula...

Optimization of specific power of axial flux permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motor based on genetic algorithm optimization technique for an electric vehicle application is presented. Double rotor sandwiched stator topology of axial flux permanent magnet brushless DC motor is selected considering its best suitability in electric vehicle applications. Rating of electric motor is determined...

With the widespread use of videos in many fields of our lives, it becomes very important to develop new techniques for video denoising. Spatial video denoising using wavelet transform has been the focus of the current research, as it requires less computation and more suitable for real-time applications. Two specific techniques for spatial video denoising using wavelet transform are considered ...

This paper introduces a protocol for the measurement of shoulder movement that uses a motion analysis based technique and the proposed standards of the International Society of Biomechanics. The protocol demonstrates effective dynamic tracking of shoulder movements in 3D, including the movement of the thorax relative to the global coordinate system, the humerus relative to the thorax, the scapu...

The binary patterns of the shares, however, have no visual meaning and hinder the objectives of visual cryptography. By improving the intensity transformation in Myodo’s method, authors have proposed a method to generate high quality share images with high speed from which a secret image can be reconstructed with apparently higher quality than myodo’s method. In this paper, we review the method...

The presence of abnormal amounts of fluid within body tissues (defined as edema) is generally considered detrimental to normal cell physiology, including wound healing following surgery . Appropriate postoperative wound management seeks to prevent, control and reduce edema. The accurate monitoring of volume changes within a given mass of tissue can indicate the amount of edema present and thus ...
