Some models propose that the spatial and temporal distributions of premotor activity in the intermediate layer of the superior colliculus are shaped by neuronal ensembles that give rise to local excitatory and distant inhibitory connections. One function proposed for these connections is to mediate a "winner-take-all" network; the short-range excitatory connections build up the activity of neig...

Identification of fault current during the operation of a power semiconductor switch and activation of suitable remedial actions are important for reliable operation of power converters. A short circuit is a basic and severe fault situation in a circuit structure, such as voltage-source converters. This paper presents a new active protection circuit for fast and precise clamping and safe shutdo...

Free vibration behavior of laminated composite plates stiffened by different lattice structures is considered. To simulate free vibration, finite element models were created with Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). In the models, SHELL181 and BEAM181 elements used to model structures, respectively. The influence stiffeners on natural frequencies plate examined for clamped-free-clamped-free...
