Three-phase pwm voltage source inverters are widely employed in high performance ac drive system, active filters and uninterrupted power supply (UPS) etc.For these applications, the converter should provides good dynamic response. However the performance of the converter system largely depends on the accuracy of the applied current control strategy. The current controllers can be classified as ...

Ramp secret sharing (SS) schemes can be classified into strong ramp SS schemes and weak ramp SS schemes. The strong ramp SS schemes do not leak out any part of a secret explicitly even in the case that some information about the secret leaks out from some set of shares, and hence, they are more desirable than the weak ramp SS schemes. In this paper, it is shown that for any feasible general acc...

Ramp metering has been recognized as an effective freeway management strategy to either avoid or ameliorate freeway traffic congestion by limiting access to the freeway. California has applied ramp metering widely in major metropolitan areas. Currently, California has three major ramp metering systems: San Diego Ramp Metering System (SDRMS), Semi-Actuated Traffic Management System (SATMS), and ...

The ramp loss is a robust but non-convex loss for classification. Compared with other non-convex losses, a local minimum of the ramp loss can be effectively found. The effectiveness of local search comes from the piecewise linearity of the ramp loss. Motivated by the fact that the `1-penalty is piecewise linear as well, the `1-penalty is applied for the ramp loss, resulting in a ramp loss linea...

We evaluated the commercially available Rapid Analyte Measurement Platform (RAMP) West Nile virus (WNV) antigen detection test for sensitivity and consistency with real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmation testing. Panels of samples consisting of WNV-spiked mosquito pools and negative control pools were sent to 20 mosquito abatement districts (MADs) that pr...

Ramp compression experiments characterize high-pressure states of matter at temperatures well below those present in shock compression. However, because temperature is typically not directly measured during ramp compression, it uncertain how much heating occurs under these shock-free conditions. Here, we performed a series ab initio simulations on carbon order to match the density-stress measur...

Abstract The evolution of plasma entropy and the process energy redistribution at collisionless shock front are evaluated based on high temporal resolution data from four Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft during crossing terrestrial bow shock. ion distribution function has been separated into populations with different characteristic behaviors in vicinity shock: upstream core population, ref...

Ramp meters in the Twin Cities have been the subject of a recent test of their effectiveness, involving turning them off for 8 weeks. This paper analyzes the results with and without ramp metering for several representative freeways during the afternoon peak period, depending on data availability. Seven performance measures: accessibility, mobility, equity, productivity, consumer surplus, trave...
