Electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a non-invasive technique used to image the electrical conductivity and permittivity within a body from measurements taken on the body's surface, could be used as an indicator for breast cancer. Because of the low spatial resolution of EIT, combining it with other modalities may enhance its utility. X-ray mammography, the standard screening technique for br...

Reconfigurable antennas are a type of smart antenna that is able to change whose properties, including resonant frequency, polarization, radiation pattern, and combination these properties. can switch between their configuration states operate at different frequency bands for multiple standards, patterns direction finding, or polarization diversity. Therefore, they solution modern wireless comm...

Electromagnetic (EM) metamaterials with tailored properties are developed for wave manipulation, filtering, and cloaking aerospace defense applications. While traditional EM exhibit fixed behaviors due to unchangeable material geometries after fabrication, reconfigurable allow tunable performance through electrical/mechanical reconfiguration strategies. Traditional biasing circuit-based electri...

Reconfigurable processors, like the Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA's), open new computational paradigms where the processor is able to tailor its internal structure to better . implement a given application. A typical FPGA consists of an array of configurable logic blocks and a mesh of interconnections fully programmable by the user to perform a given application. By just changing its int...

Photonic methods of radio-frequency waveform generation and processing can provide performance advantages and flexibility over electronic methods due to the ultrawide bandwidth offered by the optical carriers. However, bulk optics implementations suffer from the lack of integration and slow reconfiguration speed. Here we propose an architecture of integrated photonic radio-frequency generation ...

Reduction of loss in a power distribution network is of utmost importance for any electrical utility. Recent years have seen development of various optimization techniques and computer technology which has made it possible to perform accurate analysis of distribution losses. The network reconfiguration of a distribution network is done by changing the status of sectionalizing switches by switch...

The X4CP32 is a novel coarse RPU runtimereconfigurable general purpose microprocessor. It consists of 3 programming levels, based on a hierarchic array of easily and quickly reconfigurable entities. It brings a new concept of runtime reconfiguration and programming, which is it’s main strength. Although it’s effectiveness in heavy arithmetic applications, it is suited for virtually any task an ...

New testing methods are required as the complexity of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designs grow rapidly and time-to-market demands shorten. In this paper we propose a new, physical fault injection method for the test of a system’s self-stabilizing property, that is its intrinsic ability to recover from transient faults. Therefore we inject transient faults in Look-Up Table (LUT)-based F...

In this paper we present a supervisory strategy for voltage regulation control problems in electrical power grids based on the Command Governor (CG) approach. The scheme consists of reconfiguring the nominal voltage set-point of the network in the presence of Distributed Generation (DG) units to avoid operative constraint violations in response to unexpected load changes and/or failures. Such a...
