An anti-windup compensator is implemented for a given nominal plasma vertical controller guaranteeing global vertical stabilization of the plasma in the presence of actuactor saturation for all reference commands. The anti-windup synthesis problem is to find a nonlinear modification of the nominal linear controller that prevents vertical instability and undesirable oscillations but leaves the n...

this paper presents a data envelopment analysis (dea) model combined with bootstrapping to assess performance of one of the data mining algorithms. we applied a two-step process for performance productivity analysis of insurance branches within a case study. first, using a dea model, the study analyzes the productivity of eighteen decision-making units (dmus). using a malmquist index, dea deter...

in current years, the application of biopotential signals has received a lot of attention in literature. one of these signals is an electromyogram (emg) generated by active muscles. surface emg (semg) signal is recorded over the skin, as the representative of the muscle activity. since its amplitude can be as low as 50 µv, it is sensitive to undesirable noise signals such as power‑line interfer...

In the typical speech translation system, the first-best speech recognizer hypothesis is segmented into sentence-like units which are then fed to the downstream machine translation component. The need for a sufficiently large context in this intermediate step and for the MT introduces delays which are undesirable in many application scenarios, such as real-time subtitling of foreign language br...

Discrete-time, linear control systems with specified pointwise-in-time constraints, such as those imposed by actuator saturation, are considered. The constraints are enforced by the addition of a nonlinear ‘reference governor’ that attenuates, when necessary, the input commands. Because the constraints are satisfied, the control system remains linear and undesirable response effects such as ins...

A variety of blind equalization algorithms exist. These algorithms, which draw on some theoretical justification for the demonstration or analysis of their purportedly ideal convergence properties, almost invariably rely on the input data being independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). In contrast, in this paper we show that input correlation can have a marked effect on the character of...

In this paper, an state-space approach to deadbeat servomechanism design is proposed using multirate input control. This paper focuses advantage of multirate control over conventional single-rate control. To achieve settling time specified, multirate controllers require less frequent sampling of measurement than single-rate ones. Multirate input mechanism can yield shorter settling time than si...

This paper discusses the undesirable charge transfer by the parasitic capacitances of the input transistors in a voltage sense amplifier. Due to its intrinsic rail-to-rail voltage transition, the input sides are inevitably disturbed. It can possible disturb the stabilities of the reference voltage levels. Moreover, it becomes serious in multi-channel systems by altering them for other channels,...

This paper discusses the undesirable charge transfer through the parasitic capacitances of the input transistors in a multi-inputs voltage sense amplifier. Its intrinsic rail-to-rail voltage transitions at the output nodes inevitably disturb the input sides through the capacitive coupling between the outputs and inputs. Then, it can possible degrade the stabilities of the reference voltage leve...
