Simplification of engineering and precise control of manufacturing and assembly process can result in significant cost efficiency. A planned approach towards integrated control systems using PLC can solve industrial problems. Due to its low cost, PLC's are used widely in and electro-pneumatic technologies for automating the production processes. This work is carried out to develop a design meth...

Background Today’s biopharmaceutical industry is under increasing pressure considering cost efficient development. Short timeframes rule the progress starting from the generation of producer cell lines to the establishment of a final production process. Hence, the timescale for optimization of cell culture media is small, but on the other hand it contains high potential for global process impro...

In this paper, we analyse the performance of dense small cell network (SCNs). We derive analytical expressions for both their coverage probability and their area spectral efficiency (ASE) using a path loss model that considers both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) components. Due to the close proximity of small cell base stations (BSs) and user equipments (UEs) in such dense SCNs, we also...

Nowadays, integration of new devices like Distributed Generation, small energy storage and smart meter, to distribution networks introduced new challenges that require more sophisticated control strategies. This paper proposes a new technique called Optimal Coordinated Voltage Control (OCVC) to solve a multi-objective optimization problem with the objective to minimize the voltage error at pilo...

A generalization of the well-known DMT/OFDM data transmission method is proposed which can utilize redundancy in the time domain as well as in the frequency domain to completely cancel intersymbol and interchannel interference caused by the channel impulse response. The new systems provide a considerable reduction in latency time and a high increase of bandwidth efficiency and thus open the way...

The information capacity of current digital subscriber lines is limited mainly by a crosstalk in metallic cables. The influence of near-end crosstalk (NEXT) can be well cancelled by frequency duplex method, but the elimination of far-end crosstalk (FEXT) is not so easy. Therefore FEXT is the dominant source of disturbance in current digital subscriber lines (xDSL). One of the most promising sol...

This paper studies two methods for improving the competitive efficiency of on-line paging algorithms: in the first, the on-line algorithm can use more pages; in the second, it is allowed to have a lookahead, or in other words, some partial knowledge of the future. The paper considers a new measure for the lookahead size as well as Young’s resource-bounded lookahead and proves that both measures...

− The results of exact time domain analysis of the switched-mode tuned Class E power amplifiers with a quarterwave transmission line are presented with analytical determination of the optimum load network parameters. Effects of the quarterwave transmission line and collector capacitance on the current and voltage waveforms are discussed and analyzed. The ideal collector voltage and current wave...

In this paper, we address a new type of coverage problem in mobile sensor network, named Line K-Coverage. It guarantees that any line cutting across a region of interest will be detected by at least K sensors. We aim to schedule an efficient sensor movement to satisfy the line K-coverage while minimize the total sensor movements for energy efficiency, which is named as LK-MinMovs problem. We pr...

An efficient off-line coding scheme for handwriting and bilevel graphics based on quadtree segmentation and block-run run-length coding (RLC) is presented. By segmenting a captured handwriting or graphic image into variable size blocks according to the image activity inside the blocks and run-length coding on a block-run basis, the new scheme is able to achieve higher coding efficiency than the...
