This paper describes recent research concerning the Active Stereo Probe (ASP) stereo vision system that combines animate oculo-motor reflexes with a novel active illumination source. Two methods for accurate surface recovery from stereo at rates approaching real time are described. Results using texture projection combined with a fast sub-pixel matching algorithm are presented. The development ...

properties. The memory holding characteristics of this modulator were investigated experimentally in detail. Then it became clear as a result that there are two modes in the mechanism of the write-in and the readout. The linearity of the readout pulse width characteristics becomes better if the amount of the fl ux written in is controlled by the constant voltage by means of negative feedback. T...

New results on set stability and input-to-state stability in pulse-width modulated (PWM) control systems with disturbances are presented. The results are based on a recent generalization of two time scale stability theory to differential equations with disturbances. In particular, averaging theory for systems with disturbances is used to establish the results. The nonsmooth nature of PWM system...

In this paper, we are evaluating the performances of energy detector receiver with on-off-keying (OOK) and pulse position modulation (PPM) in ultra wideband (UWB) communications. Energy detector (ED) receivers are considered as a lowcomplexity and low-power consumption option for the more complex coherent receivers. Obviously, the tradeoff for low complexity is degraded detection performance. A...

This paper presents the application of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique to reduce torque ripple in an induction motor employing Direct Torque Control (DTC). The effective time is determined using imaginary time vector there by the lengthy procedure of using reference voltage vector is eliminated. Also the sector identification and angle determination are not used. Simulatio...

The electrical characteristics of an isolated induction-generator-based system are improved through the association with a voltage-source pulsewidth modulation (PWM) inverter. The electronic converter allows the achievement of a better system behavior in many aspects: voltage regulation, frequency stabilization, and reactive power compensation. The system operation strategy consists of maintain...

In this paper we propose a new form of adaptive modulation which has the ability of using the higher order modulation schemes such as 256-QAM and 128-QAM at low SNR values in order to enhance the data rate without degrading the SER performance especially at low SNR values. This new form of adaptive modulation is combined together with the power control and the PAPR clipping and filtering techni...

 When utilized at low amplitude modulation indices, existing multilevel carrier-based PWM strategies have no special provisions for this operating region, and several levels of the inverter go unused. This paper proposes some novel multilevel PWM strategies to take advantage of the multiple levels in both a diode-clamped inverter and a cascaded Hbridges inverter by utilizing all of the levels ...

The eddy current loss in the magnets of permanent magnet (PM) motors in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and plug-in HEV is usually not taken into consideration in traditional motor design and analysis. However, due to the high conductivity of the rare-earth magnet, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), and slot/tooth harmonics, there is eddy current loss generated inside the magnets. This loss may not ...
