One of the areas with greatest needs having available information at the right moment and with high accuracy is healthcare. Right information at right time saves lives. Healthcare is a vital domain which needs high processing power for high amounts of data. Due to the critical and the special characteristics of these systems, formal methods are used for specification, description and verificati...

Batteries add size, weight, and inconvenience to present day mobile computers. This paper explores the possibility of harnessing the energy expended during the user's everyday actions to generate power for his computer, thus eliminating the impediment of batteries. An analysis of power generation through leg motion is presented in depth, and a survey of less practical methods such as generation...

Within the US alone, there are approximately 28,600 networked Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) institutions, 2 million miles of oil/gas pipelines, 2,800 power plants with 300,000 production sites, 104 nuclear power plants, 80,000 dams, 60,000 chemical plants, 87,000 food processing plants, and 1,600 water treatment plants. And, this is just part of our national infrastructure. Add t...

The harmonic currents generated by the modern power supply equipment cause power system heating and also add to user power bills. Personal computers are the major equipments which use the modern power supply ie switched mode power supply (SMPS).These SMPS draw non-sinusoidal currents from the supply which results in generation of harmonics. Power quality of the distribution network is been dist...

• Exploring of the discrimination power of deep-UV RRS (excitation below 260 nm). This offers higher sensitivity and reduces fluorescence interference, but results in a reduced spectral information content Nevertheless, we could discriminate pyrene derivatives based on their RRS spectra.. With state-of-the-art computational methods we could simulate RRS spectra using linearresponse time-depende...

This project presents a new addon self tuning control scheme to supplement its conventional PI control system in damping low frequency inter area power oscillations. Low frequency (0.1 to 0.8 Hz) inter-area oscillations are often observed when power systems interconnected through weak tie lines are subjected to disturbances such as faults, line outages and sudden load changes. Power System stab...

We demonstrate a machine learning approach to characterize channel dependence of power excursions in multi-span EDFA networks. This technique can determine accurate recommendations for channel add/drop with minimal excursions and is applicable to different network designs. Introduction The advent of dynamic optical networks demands constant agility and configurability in response to traffic and...

High-speed DSP systems are increasingly being implemented on FPGA hardware platforms. This trend is being fuelled by insurmountable ASIC project costs and the flexibility and reconfigurability advantages of FPGAs over traditional DSPs and ASICs, respectively. Very recently, Structured ASIC technology has yielded lower cost solutions to full custom ASIC by predefining several layers of silicon f...
