Multi-value logic is defined as a non-binary logic and involves the switching between more than two states. The design of Multiple Valued Logic (MVL) digital circuits is performed by increasing the representation domain from the two level (N=2) switching algebra to N > 2 levels. More data can be transmitted by single wire having more than two levels. Multiple-valued logic (MVL) application in t...

Abstract: In this paper we focus on the reduction of switching activity in combinational logic circuits. An algorithmic approach using k-map has been proposed which modifies the normal optimal solution obtained from k-map to reduce its switching activity. More than 10% reduction in switching activity has been observed using our method. The final solution gives a good trade off between cost and ...

In recent years, most of the loads and distributed generations are connected to the AC grid through the power electronic converters. Using the DC grid beside the AC grid can reduce the conversion stages and power losses. Protection of the DC grids is a challenging issue because of the new structures of DC grids and fast transients of the DC faults. This paper studies the protection of the low v...

The paper deals with the supervisory control of a nonlinear uncertain system in which the switching is directed by the recently introduced state-dependent dwell-time switching logic. The proposed supervisory control architecture is shown to regulate to zero the state of the system without requiring the switching to stop in 4nite time. A signi4cant class of systems to which the control architect...

This paper places of interest Direct Torque control (DTC) strategy for induction motor based on fuzzy logic control. Many methods of controlling the performance of induction motors exist. The direct torque control deserves special attention because of high performance vector control based on decoupling the stator flux and electromagnetic torque. In conventional method normal DTC is used to cont...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and reconfigurable crossbar switches currently represent distinct classes of integrated circuits. There is a need, however, for user-programmable devices that can provide both digital logic and fast, reconfigurable crossbar switching of digital signals within a single package. An investigation into the use of dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs for this purpo...

The power dissipation becoming a limiting factor in VLSI circuits and systems. Due to relatively high compatibility of VLSI systems used in various applications, the power dissipation in CMOS circuits arises from it’s switching activity ,which is influenced by the supply voltage and effective capacitance. The power dissipation can be reduced by adopting different design style. Adiabatic logic s...

This paper describes a hybrid anti-swing control scheme of an inspection robot in tunnels for power transmission cables. The hybrid control scheme consists of velocity switching and fuzzy logic control, so that the robot can be operated smoothly without causing excessive swings in acceleration or deceleration motion. In order to ensure control system robustness for greatest movement in the tunn...
