In this paper, a digital compensation scheme for coefficient errors of a complex filter bank parallel A/D converter in low-IF receivers is presented. The complex filter bank is employed to suppress DC offset and image signals in the lowIF receivers and relax the requirements on the conversion rate and resolution of A/D converters. The proposed compensation scheme regenerates interference due to...

Matrix converter (MC) is an AC-AC power converter topology that directly converts energy from AC source to an AC load without using any energy storage components. Therefore, the disturbances in the input voltages can propagate onto the output side and degrade or even deteriorate the performance of motor load. This paper investigates the behavior of MC and its influence to the performance of ind...

Land leveling is one of the most important steps in soil preparation and cultivation. Although land leveling with machines requires considerable amount of energy, it delivers a suitable surface slope with minimal soil deterioration as well as damage to plants and other organisms in the soil. Notwithstanding, in recent years researchers have tried to reduce fossil fuel consumption and its delete...

Intermediate filament (IF) attachment to intercellular junctions is required for skin and heart integrity, but how the strength and dynamics of this attachment are modulated during normal and pathological remodeling is poorly understood. We show that glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT-1) cooperate to orchestrate a series of posttranslational modific...

As demands for energy savings have increased in recent years, inverters are being used in a wider range of applications. Demands for lower cost, smaller size and higher efficiency will continue to further expand the range of inverter applications. However, as a trend toward eco-friendly products increases, some sort of measure is necessary to suppress the harmonics contained in the inverter inp...

This paper proposes an active and reactive power control strategy based on predictive control approaches applied to gridconnected renewable energy systems. To accomplish this a multi-modular matrix converter topologies are used in combination with a simple but efficient grid synchronization strategy. The theoretical performance analysis is performed considering a six-phase wind energy generator...

In the preceding paper (1) some chemical, antigenic, and biological propert ies of a series of ace toace ty la ted derivat ives of Salmonella adelaide flagellin were described. Several chemical and antigenic tests revealed tha t as flagellin was ace toace ty la ted to increasing extents there was a s teady decline in the affinity of the molecule for anti-flagellin antibodies. This loss in antig...

Time interleaved A/D converters (ADCs) can be used to increase the sample rate of an ADC system. However, a problem with time interleaved ADCs is that distortion is introduced in the output signal due to various mismatch errors between the ADCs. One way to decrease the impact of the mismatch errors is to introduce additional ADCs in the interleaved structure and randomly select an ADC at each s...

This paper presents the experimental evaluation of reversed indirect matrix converter (MC) interfaced wind energy conversion system (WECS), where space vector pulse width modulation together with adaptive fuzzy logic control is effectively used to enhance the performance of system under various abnormal conditions like abrupt change in wind speed, disconnection from grid, misfire in the convert...

Matrix power converters are used for transforming one alternating-current power supply to another, with different peak voltage and frequency. There are three input lines, with sinusoidally varying voltages which are 120◦ out of phase one from another, and the output is to be delivered as a similar three-phase supply. The matrix converter switches rapidly, to connect each output line in sequence...
