Under partial shading conditions, photovoltaic (PV) arrays are subjected to different irradiance levels caused by nonuniform shading. As a result, mismatch between the modules, reduction in power generated, and hotspot phenomenon will be observed. One method reduce losses is reconfigure total-cross-tied (TCT) array dynamic static forms, where improved performance can achieved through more effic...

T HE SECOND issue " Hardware Level Reconfiguration " of the Special Section on Configurable Computing Design deals with hardware level problems: how to build efficient gate arrays; security and fault tolerance issues on configurable hardware ; and implementing floating-point arithmetic and specific decoders on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The first two papers of this issue deal with ...

This article investigates a rotational data collection strategy for planar array electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) to improve the imaging of complex-shaped objects in scenarios, where access object is limited. Planar ECT can produce 2-D and 3-D images changes dielectric permittivity object, but detecting may require more electrodes array, which decrease quality measurements make it challe...

A COMBINED CHANNEL-MODIFIED ADAPTIVE ARRAY MMSE CANCELLER AND VITERBI EQUALIZER by Richard M Friedman In this thesis, a very simple scheme is proposed which couples a maximum-likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) with a X-element canceller. The method makes use of the MLSE's channel estimator to modify the locally generated training sequence used to calculate the antenna array weights. This meth...
