This paper presents a hybrid cascaded H-bridge multilevel motor drive Direct Torque Control (DTC) scheme for electric vehicles (EVs) or hybrid EVs. The control method is based on DTC operating principles. The stator voltage vector reference is computed from the stator flux and torque errors imposed by the flux and torque controllers. This voltage reference is then generated using a hybrid casca...

This paper proposes a hybrid carrier based space vector modulation suitable for multiphase multilevel inverters. Multiphase multilevel inverters are controlled by this hybrid modulation to provide multiphase variable voltage and variable frequency supply. The proposed modulation combines the benefits of fundamental frequency modulation and carrier based space vector modulation strategies. The m...

This paper1 presents a method for indexing spoken utterances which combines lexical and phonetic hypotheses in a hybrid index built from automata. The retrieval is realised by a lexical-phonetic and semi-imperfect matching whose aim is to improve the recall. A feature vector, containing edit distance scores and a confidence measure, weights each transition to help the filtering of the candidate...

In this short note we prove a hierarchical stability result that applies to hybrid dynamical systems satisfying the hybrid basic conditions of (Goebel et al., 2012). In particular, we establish sufficient conditions for uniform asymptotic stability of a compact set based on some hierarchical stability assumptions involving two nested closed sets containing such a compact set. Moreover, mimickin...

We develop hash-based algorithms for computing a three-way join. The method involves hashing all three relations into buckets, and then joining buckets in main memory, three buckets at a time. Comparing to two-cascaded hash joins, the algorithms avoid materializing an intermediate result. We present a cost model for this approach, from which we identify the range of parameters for queries that ...

This paper proposes a hybrid carrier based space vector modulation suitable for multiphase multilevel inverters. Multiphase multilevel inverters are controlled by this hybrid modulation to provide multiphase variable voltage and variable frequency supply. The proposed modulation inherits the features of fundamental frequency modulation and carrier based space vector modulation strategies. The m...

Bidirectional recurrent neural nets have demonstrated state-ofthe-art performance for parametric speech synthesis. In this paper, we introduce a top-down application of recurrent neural net models to unit-selection synthesis. A hierarchical cascaded network graph predicts context phone duration, speech unit encoding and frame-level logF0 information that serves as targets for the search of unit...

This paper introduces a cascaded converter structure using hybrid two-level cells to form single-phase seven-level inverter. Compared various conventional and existing multilevel (MLI) topologies, this topology requires lower number of devices. It uses several DC sources integrated in two-stage provide the required voltage. In topology, DC-link condensers are not necessary. The modes operation ...
