A novel algorithm is proposed in this paper to solve blind source separation of post-nonlinear convolutive mixtures of non-stationary sources. Both convolutive mixing and post-nonlinear distortion are included in the proposed model. Based on the generalized Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, the Maximum Likelihood (ML) approach is developed to estimate the parameters in the model. A set o...

Based on the generating functional method with an external source function, a useful constraint on the source function is proposed for analyzing the oneand two-loop world-line Green functions. The constraint plays the same role as the momentum conservation law of a certain nontrivial form, and transforms ambiguous Green functions into the uniquely defined Green functions. We also argue reparame...

| We have shown previously that non-stationary signals recorded in a static multi-path environment can often be recovered by simultaneously decorrelating varying second order statistics. As typical sources are often moving, however, the multi-path channel is not static. We present here an on-line gradient algorithm with adaptive step size in the frequency domain based on second derivatives, whi...

In the reported article, we have simulated the pulsed high voltage direct current (DC) source and Blumlein transmission line by Multisimulation13 (National Instruments, Inc). In the generation of high voltage pulses at the optimum repetition rate, we have observed and investigated the waveform behavior of voltage in the Blumlein transmission line.We present the simulation results of pulsed high...

An experimental analysis is performed to evaluate Rogowski coil performance for PD (partial discharge) location on overhead CC (covered-conductor) distribution lines. The measuring set-up is arranged in high voltage laboratory. A multi-end measuring method is chosen as a technique to locate PD source point on the line. A power transformer is used to energize one end of the CC line by the AC vol...

This paper describes the DUCHAMP source finder, a piece of software designed to find and describe sources in three-dimensional, spectral-line data cubes. DUCHAMP has been developed with H I (neutral hydrogen) observations in mind, but is widely applicable to many types of astronomical images. It features efficient source detection and handling methods, noise suppression via smoothing or multi-r...

Following our recently introduced analytical tools to model and design conformal mantle cloaks based on metasurfaces [Padooru et al., J. Appl. Phys., 112, 034907 (2012)], we investigate their performance and physical properties when excited by an electric line source placed in their close proximity. We consider metasurfaces formed by 2-D arrays of slotted (meshes and Jerusalem cross slots) and ...

One important activity in product line engineering is product line production planning, during which stakeholders of a product line determine what and how product line assets are developed and used for product development. Moreover, decisions on which assets should be developed as in-house assets, purchased as COTS, or adapted from open source software (OSS) are made. In [1], we proposed a feat...
