Energy dissipation during testing has been discovered to be more than during regular mode due to increased switching activity. Test Sequence restructuring approach helps mitigate this problem as it allows the decrease of switching action during testing. This research presents a new Test Sequence restructuring approach. A cross model of genetic and pharaonis algorithms devised to restructure the...

In this paper, we develop a method to maintain an acceptable voltages profile and minimization of active losses of a power system including wind generators in real time. These tasks are ensured by acting on capacitor and inductance benches implemented in the consuming nodes. To solve this problem, we minimize an objective function associated to active losses under constraints imposed on the vol...

In this paper we compute `∞ and `1 induced norm bounds of switched linear systems. In particular, we concentrate on certain types of such systems, namely output switching, input switching, and combinations thereof, and we provide exact gains for the worst case switching. As an application of the input output approach of the paper, we consider the problem of sensitivity minimization and show tha...

i ABSTRACT Nowadays transducers are ubiquitous as interfaces between the increasingly digital world and the real physical world. The same holds for the power amplifiers driving them. This thesis focuses on the design and optimization of high-voltage class-D amplifiers, which are used for driving capacitive piezoelectric actuator loads in active vibration/noise control applications. The main obj...

Stochastic Dual Coordinate Ascent is a popular method for solving regularized loss minimization for the case of convex losses. In this paper we show how a variant of SDCA can be applied for non-convex losses. We prove linear convergence rate even if individual loss functions are non-convex as long as the expected loss is convex.

In this paper, a synchronous cuk converter proposed for analyzing the performance of photovoltaic system is presented. In the proposed cuk converter, the conduction losses and switching losses are reduced. The conduction losses are reduced by replacing the diode with MOSFET and the switching losses are reduced by providing an auxiliary circuit. The proposed converter system is operated based on...

Abstract: In this paper we focus on the reduction of switching activity in combinational logic circuits. An algorithmic approach using k-map has been proposed which modifies the normal optimal solution obtained from k-map to reduce its switching activity. More than 10% reduction in switching activity has been observed using our method. The final solution gives a good trade off between cost and ...
