defuzzifier circuit is one of the most important parts of fuzzy logic controllers that determine the output accuracy. the center of gravity method (cog) is one of the most accurate methods that so far been presented for defuzzification. in this paper, a simple algorithm is presented to generate triangular output membership functions in the mamdani method using the multiplier/divider circuit and...

One of the most efficient lighting technology is based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Common LED drivers with AC-input (50-60Hz) usually require a bulk electrolytic capacitor to decrease low-frequency ripple in the output. However, the critical element that limits the lifespan of the LED driver is the electrolytic capacitor. An isolated off-line LED driver is proposed in this paper, in which ...

home uterine activity monitoring (huam) has demonstrated to be of great value for preventing preterm labor in recent years. in this research, a low cost monitoring device for non-invasive monitoring of the uterine activity in pregnant women is presented. the new device has been designed based on an inductive colpitz oscillator and vertical displacement of a ferrite core in a coil. the resulting...

This paper presents an indirect adaptive system based on neuro-fuzzy approximators for the speed control of induction motors. The uncertainty including parametric variations, the external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics is estimated and compensated by designing neuro-fuzzy systems. The contribution of this paper is presenting a stability analysis for neuro-fuzzy speed control of inducti...

This paper presents a high power gain (S21) and low Noise Figure (NF) 3.1-10.6 GHz common gate (CG) CMOS ultra wideband (UWB) low noise amplifier (LNA) using active gm-boosted technology, T-match input network, self-body-bias, current reused and noise cancelling technique. Wideband input impedance matching was achieved by using the proposed T-match input network to improve the input matching at...

team network structure has been shown to be an important determinant of both team and individual performance outcomes, yet few studies have investigated the relationship between team network structure and technology usage behaviors. Drawing from social network and technology use literature, we examine how the structure 10 MAgNI, ANgSt, AND AgArWAl of a team’s advice-seeking network affects indi...

9-nitrocamptothecin (9-nc) is a semisynthetic and a low soluble analogue of camptothecin alkaloids that target nuclear enzyme topoisomerase i. the unstable lactone form of 9-nc in biological fluids requires for its cytotoxic activity. to improve aqueous solubility and stability in biological media, 9-nc was loaded in polymeric nanoparticles. in this paper, we studied the effect of peg percent (...
