The speed of moving stimuli can bias duration perception. Here, we investigated whether words describing different speeds influence subjective duration estimation in a temporal bisection task. Duration estimations of two different types of speed words (fast- vs. slow-speed words) were compared. We found that the time bisection point was significantly lower for fast-speed words than for slow-spe...

A speed estimation method is presented in this paper for a grid-connected doubly-fed slipring induction machine drive. The proposed method is formulated with reactive power based model reference adaptive system (MRAS). The method does not require the estimation of stator/rotor flux. So, the integrator related problems at synchronous speed are overcome. Also, the estimation method is independent...

Abstract. In the resonance ratio control, the estimation speed of the disturbance observer should have been much faster than the resonance frequency of the controlled system. However, too fast disturbance observer causes implementation problem. In this paper, we give the optimal speed of the disturbance estimation and propose a novel technique, slow resonance ratio control, which enables us to ...

Topic of the paper is the reconstruction of the speed field and the recognition of typical daily patterns in floating truck data (FTD) collected by heavy vehicles operating on Italian motorways. We present a statistical analysis of velocity measurements from FTD and a procedure for the estimation of the typical speed profiles. Output of this procedure could be exploited for integration of missi...

accurate estimation of evaporation is important for design, planning and operation of water systems. in arid zones where water resources are scarce, the estimation of this loss becomes more interesting in the planning and management of irrigation practices. this paper investigates the ability of artificial neural networks (anns) technique to improve the accuracy of daily evaporation estimation....
