Smoothing techniques are of major importance for the generation of surface meshes. For this reason a considerable amount of research has been spent on developing a large variety of sophisticated smoothing approaches. However, these methods either require direct access to the analytic surface description or are restricted to flat meshes in two dimensions. In particular, if no analytic surface da...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear‎ ‎partial differential equations‎. ‎the distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution‎, ‎and is‎ ‎determined by the edge-strength function‎. ‎in the previous works‎, ‎the edge-strength function depends on isotropic‎ ‎smoothing of the image‎, ‎...

A broadband Circuit Analogue (CA) absorber using double-circular-loop array is investigated in this paper. A simple equivalent circuit model is presented to accurately analyze this CA absorber. The circuit simulation of the proposed model agrees well with full-wave simulations. Optimization based the equivalent circuit model, is applied to design a single-layer circuit analogue absorber using d...

A coupled inductor filter is presented with interesting notch mode filtering characteristics. Although this configuration has been long established, it has received little attention recently. The new contribution of this paper is to provide an automatic tuning process that can make use of the frequency domain characteristics of the coupled inductor building block. In a sense, this becomes an “a...

Due to its fast charge and discharge rate, a supercapacitor-based energy storage system is especially suitable for power smoothing in renewable energy generation applications. Voltage equalization is essential for series-connected supercapacitors in an energy storage system, because it supports the system’s sustainability and maximizes the available cell energy. In this paper, we present a high...

Three-legs active power decoupling (APD) converters are widely studied in the single-phase grid-connected systems to enhance circuit lifetime by creating an alternative path for typical existing dc-side pulsating ripple. Therefore, this reduces requirement of smoothing dc capacitors allowing compact designs even with implementation long life metalized film technology. In article, allow enhancem...

In certain contexts, maximum entropy (ME) modeling can be viewed as maximum likelihood training for exponential models, and like other maximum likelihood methods is prone to over tting of training data. Several smoothing methods for maximum entropy models have been proposed to address this problem, but previous results do not make it clear how these smoothing methods compare with smoothing meth...
