A band-pass filter with 70% bandwidth, effectively functioning as a pseudo-high pass filter has been designed and implemented using suspended strip-line technology. In principle such a filter can easily be fabricated by cascading low pass and high pass filters, but it is difficult to fabricate high pass filters in suspended stripline, and this filter is expected to overcome this difficulty. The...

In the recent years many authors [1-4] are working to obtain single stage HPF electronic ballast for fluorescent and HID lamps to obtain cost reduction and to comply with international standard requirements. Usually to obtain HPF in electronic ballast for high pressure sodium lamps a Power Factor Preregulator (PFP) is used between the mains and the electronic ballast [5]. In this paper will be ...

In this paper will be reported the study and implementation of a single stage High Power Factor (HPF) electronic ballast for High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps using a Half-Bridge Boost Rectifier integrated with an Electronic Ballast based in a LCC filter. In the recent years many authors are working to obtain single stage HPF electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps [1-3]. Normally to obtain HPF...

In order to improve the performance of homomorphic filtering technique for face images, band pass filter is selected to replace the conventional high pass filter in homomorphic filtering technique. Apart from the noise reduction capability, the band pass filter is specifically designed for face images as it is based on the locations of illumination component in Fourier spectrum. The qualitative...

Pixel based image fusion entails combining geometric details of a high-resolution Panchromatic (PAN) image and spectral information of a low-resolution Multispectral (MS) image to produce images with highest spatial content while preserving the spectral information. This work reviews and implements six fusion techniques – À Trous algorithm based wavelet transform (ATW), Mulitresolution Analysis...

ETRI Journal, Volume 26, Number 4, August 2004 In this paper we present a new current-mode electronically tunable universal filter using only plus-type current controlled conveyors (CCCII+s) and grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can simultaneously realize lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filter functions— all at high impedance outputs. The realization of a notch response does not require...

Many experimental studies demonstrate a match between the transfer function of sensory neurons and the statistics of natural stimuli. However, neurons might not be able to adapt to any given stimulus statistics due to very basic constraints. The high-pass nature of spike-frequency adaptation (Benda and Herz, 2003) emphasizes fast stimulus components over slow stimuli (Benda et al., 2005). The c...
