Design narrow-band compact filters, based on high-quality waveguide-dielectric resonators with anisotropic materials is the subject of this paper. Filter represents a segment rectangular waveguide rotated around longitudinal axis 90 degrees and containing one or more dielectric inserts that completely fill resonator along narrow wall partially wide one. A distinctive feature proposed filter hig...

an air filter is a significant element of any mechanical ventilation system. however, the importance and performance evaluation of air filters have not been well publicized and related scientific reports are scarce. in this study, a transportable, off-line, air filter-testing unit (the unit) was designed and utilized to simulate the filter housing of a mechanical ventilation system. the unit wa...

The chapter goal is focused to introduce the concept of fractional delay filters (FDF), as well as a concise description of most of the existing design techniques. For this purpose, several illustrative examples are presented, where each design method is implemented by MATLAB programs. A fractional delay filter is a filter of digital type having as main function to delay the processed input sig...

astewaters from all processes w are collected by gravity flow into acid-alkali (rinses), chromate, cyanide, spenttstripping acids, and cleaner sumps. The acid concentrates and cleaner concentrates are gradually fed into chromate and acid-alkali (rinse) sumps, respectively. Cyanide destruction is achieved by oxidation with sodium hypochlorite whereas hexavalent chrome is reduced to trivalent chr...

ABSTRACT: The paper presents a novel method for the assessment of the power quality disturbances in the distribution system using the Kalman filter and fuzzy expert system. In this method the various classes of disturbance signals are developed through the Matlab Simulink on the test system model. The characteristic features of the disturbance signals are extracted based on the Kalman filter te...

The effect of finite spatial resolution on the measured energy spectrum is examined via a parametric study using in situ particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements performed in the bottom boundary layer on the Atlantic continental shelf. Two-dimensional (2D) box spatial filters of various scales are applied to the data, and these filtered distributions are used to compute 1D energy spectra i...

In this paper, an adaptive hysteresis band current controller is proposed for active power filter to eliminate harmonics and to compensate the reactive power of three-phase rectifier. The adaptive hysteresis band current controller, proposed by Bose [An adaptive hysteresis band current control technique of a voltage feed PWM inverter for machine drive system, IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron. 37 (5) (...

Recent studies suggest that the amplification needs of children and adults differ due to differences in perceptual ability. For example, several studies have confirmed that children realize greater benefit from a more audible speech signal (Stelmachowicz, Hoover, Lewis, Kortekaas and Pittman 2000; Stelmachowicz, Pittman, Hoover, Lewis and Moeller 2004), a higher signal-to-noise ratio (Hall and ...

the notion of absorbent ordered filters in implicative semigroupsis introduced, and its fuzzification is considered. relations among (fuzzy) orderedfilters, (fuzzy) absorbent ordered filters, and (fuzzy) positive implicativeordered filters are stated. the extensionproperty for (fuzzy) absorbent orderedfilters is established. conditions for (fuzzy) ordered filters to be (fuzzy)absorbent ordered ...
