The power consumption of a digital circuit can be reduced by decomposing it into sub circuits which can be turned off when inactive. Power can also be reduced by careful state encoding. Clock-gating techniques have been shown to be very effective in the reduction of the switching activity in sequential logic circuits. Modeling a given circuit as a finite-state machine, we formulate its decompos...

The paper studies the effect of terms of trade fluctuations on equilibrium debt position of a small open economy. I develop a simple model of a small open economy producing exportable and nontradable goods to investigate the effects of terms of trade shock assuming that terms of trade follow two state Markov switching process. Under this process, permanent terms of trade shock means change of r...

This paper concerns an optimal control problem defined on a class of switchedmode hybrid dynamical systems. Such systems change modes whenever the state intersects certain surfaces that are defined in the state space. These switching surfaces are parameterized by a finite dimensional vector called the switching parameter. The optimization problem we consider is to minimize a given cost-function...

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) involves communication through a wire or wireless network without human intervention. M2M on Cellular network, also defined as Machine Type Communications (MTC) by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), has shown great potential in the industry for its long distance wireless advantage. Different from the traditional human to human (H2H) communications, M2M communica...

We study current–voltage (V–I) characteristics of short superconducting nanowires of length ∼ 100 nm exposed to microwave (MW) radiation of frequencies between 2 and 15GHz. The radiation causes a decrease of the average switching current of the wire. This suppression of the switching current is modeled assuming that there is one-to-one correspondence between Little’s phase slips, which are micr...

The existence of unreliable renewable energy resources would be required to use energy resources and storage units simultaneously, particularly in applications such as electrical vehicles and stand-alone energy supplying systems. The objective of this paper is to introduce a new topology of multi input converter in hybrid power supply system of photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery for medium pow...

In Candida albicans, the a1-alpha2 complex represses white-opaque switching, as well as mating. Based upon the assumption that the a1-alpha2 corepressor complex binds to the gene that regulates white-opaque switching, a chromatinimmunoprecipitation-microarray analysis strategy was used to identify 52 genes that bound to the complex. One of these genes, TOS9, exhibited an expression pattern cons...

In this paper a Near State Pulse Width Modulation (NSPWM) algorithm with reduced switching frequency is presented for vector controlled induction motor drives for reduced common mode voltage/currents. The proposed algorithm utilizes a group of three neighbor voltage vectors to construct the reference voltage space vector. In the proposed algorithm in each sector any one of the phases is clamped...

Abstract: Discrete event systems involving synchronization and delay phenomena can be described by a linear state representation over (max,+) algebra. Some discrete event systems involving choice phenomena could be transformed, under some conditions, into switching max-plus linear systems modeled as automata. The switching between states of these automata is governed by a switching variable. Th...

label switching technology is a flexible and high performance method for forwarding layer three packets that are mapped to layer two flows. each label switch router, lsr, needs a specific label for every flow, where the number of labels depends on the mapping and granularity of flows. data and control driven methods are the most significant and popular methods in label mapping policy. the above...
