The interaction between the telegraph noise and background voltage fluctuations in the current induced dissipative state of high-Tc BiSrCaCuO thin films has been investigated. Experimental time records of the voltage drop across current biased thin film strips show markedly different background noise traces in the up and down telegraph states. Detailed analysis demonstrates that fluctuations ar...

Stochastic fluctuations of voltage-gated ion channels generate current and voltage noise in neuronal membranes. This noise may be a critical determinant of the efficacy of information processing within neural systems. Using Monte-Carlo simulations, we carry out a systematic investigation of the relationship between channel kinetics and the resulting membrane voltage noise using a stochastic Mar...

Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs), widely used for steel production industries, are highly nonlinear time-variant disturbing loads because of the random change of the electric arc length results in arc voltage and furnace/supply current fluctuations. Consequently, Power Quality (PQ) problems such as undesirable variations of reactive power, poor power factor, harmonics, and voltage flickers may appe...

Increasing focus on power dissipation issues in current microprocessors has led to a host of proposals for clock gating and other power-saving techniques. While generally effective at reducing average power, many of these techniques have the undesired side-effect of increasing both the variability of power dissipation and the variability of current drawn by the processor. This increase in curre...

With the rising demand for solar energy installation, there is a pressing need for utilities to regulate the voltages at the distribution level. In grids with high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems, voltage fluctuations can occur at the distribution systems, resulting in inverter tripping and insufficient power to meet the load. We present a linear model for voltage rise versus PV output...
