Abstract: In this paper, a generic coordinated control method for wave energy converters is proposed, and the constraints on motion amplitudes and the hydrodynamic interaction between converters are considered. The objective of the control problem is to maximize the energy converted from ocean waves, and this is achieved by coordinating the power take-off (PTO) damping of each wave energy conve...

The present paper offers a numerical model which can be applied for the simulation of wave height distribution on a 2-D horizontal soft mud layer. The model is based on mild slope equations and it includes combined wave refraction, diffraction, reflection and breaking. The high energy dissipation of wave height due to the presence of fluid mud layer has also been simulated. Wave height attenuat...

Active vibration control is investigated for axially moving strings with a tersioner. The tensioner is used as an actuator. The active control law is proposed from the view of the traveling wave propagation. Transverse response of both the uncontrolled and the controlled systems is derived in the frequency domain. The designed controller is numerically tested for the string under impulse and ha...

This paper is concerned with a new feedback control design methodology for vibration control of flexible structures by the wave control. In the wave control, controllers are usually designed to minimize the reflection coefficient based on the wave analysis. However, because the method utilizes the wave analysis directly, it has been mainly applied to simple uniform structures, and control desig...

pulse-width modulated (pwm) adjustable frequency drives (afds) are extensively used in industries for control of induction motors. it has led to significant advantages in terms of the performance, size, and efficiency but the output voltage waveform no longer remains sinusoidal. hence, overshoots, high rate of rise, harmonics and transients are observed in the voltage wave. they increase voltag...

t-wave oversensing occurs when the counter starts giving dual beeps for every cardiac cycle instead of one. this usually happens when the monitoring lead displays a tall t wave, which is also sharp. r wave sensing algorithms of the devices do not sense t wave because the slow rate of the t wave is much less than that of the r wave. but the slow rate of t waves may change with time and also beca...

This is an attempt to summarize the talks given at the session on Deconfinement in the Conference “Quark Confinement and hadron spectrum”. This talk covers the following topics: Elliptic flow and evidence of nearly perfect fluid of the created matter; High Transverse momentum production, propagation of jets and energy loss; Heavy quarqonia in dense QCD matter; Phase transition, Multiplicity flu...

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks, named LE-MAC (Latency and Energy aware MAC) that aims to minimize data delivery latency as well as energy consumption. To achieve both goals, we exploit a physical carrier sensing feature in CSMA/CA and combine it with a cross-layer technique. When nodes that are in routing path between source...
