This paper will outline the features required for a multifunction protective relay or intelligent electrical device (IED) that meets the special requirements of the distributed generation environment.

In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the interior of the domain of a maximal monotone multifunction in terms of its Fitzpatrick function.

Threshold logic gates, up to now, generally have been presumed to provide a single function of the input variables. The threshold gates that have been integrated [I1]-4] were naturally double-sided and provided complementary outputs or, more specifically, complemented dual outputs. This paper shows that the inphase and out-of-phase outputs can, in fact, be designed to provide grossly different ...

Novel very large-scale integration architectures and a design methodology for adder-based residue number system (RNS) processors are presented in this paper. The new architectures compute residues for more than one modulus either serially or in parallel, while their use can increase the resource utilization in a processor. Complexity is reduced by sharing common intermediate results among the v...

The paper presents a current conveyor based multifunction filter. The proposed circuit can be realized as low pass, high pass, band pass and elliptical notch filter. The circuit employs two balanced output current conveyors, four resistors and two grounded capacitors, ideal for integration. It has only one output terminal and the number of input terminals may be used. Further, there is no requi...

Intuitive myoelectric prosthesis control is difficult to achieve due to the absence of proprioceptive feedback, which forces the user to monitor grip pressure by visual information. Existing myoelectric hand prostheses form a single degree of freedom pincer motion that inhibits the stable prehension of a range of objects. Multi-axis hands may address this lack of functionality, but as with mult...
