this paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with random pwm technique (rvsc) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. this control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

Power control in wireless communication networks reduces interference by regulating access to the shared wireless medium and enhances the overall network capacity as well as battery life of nodes. Beginning with the Foschini-Miljanic (FM) algorithm [1], distributed power control for wireless networks has been an active area of research. The problem of distributed power control for packetized tr...

Future driving assistance systems must be designed in order to guarantee a smooth steering control action of the controller continuously, considering the driver in-the-loop and without generating negative interference. This paper proposes the design of a shared lateral control in the framework of the active safety systems that integrates the coordination of the authority between human driver an...

Bilingual language production is widely believed to be a competitive process. Bilinguals may manage this competition by relying on inhibiting one language while speaking in the other. However, it remains unclear if this process relies on domain general inhibitory mechanisms, and, if so, when and where during language production inhibitory control is applied. The current study investigates these...

In this paper, a joint iterative power control and parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme is proposed for turbo coded uplink DS-CDMA systems to suppress the multiple access interference (MAI) from co-channel users and interantenna interference (IAI) from adjacent antennas of each user. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme could compensate for some channel fading effect thro...

This paper presents the LineScout Technology, a mobile teleoperated robot for power line inspection and maintenance. Optimizing several geometric parameters achieved a compact design that was successfully tested over many line configurations and obstacle sequences. An overview of the technology is presented, including a description of the control strategy, followed by a section focusing on key ...

The multiplexing gain (MUXG) of K-user interference channel (IC) with partially connected interfering links is analyzed. The motivation for the partially connected IC comes from the fact that not all interferences are equally strong in practice. The MUXG is characterized as a function of the number (K) of users and the number (N ≥ 1) of interfering links. Our analysis is mainly based on the int...

In wireless networks, interference from adjacent nodes that are concurrently transmitting can cause packet reception failures and thus a significant throughput degradation. The interference can be simply avoided by assigning different orthogonal channels to each interfering node. However, if the number of orthogonal channels is smaller than that of interfering nodes, some adjacent nodes have to...

Designing and implementing cooperative group behaviors for robots is considered something of a black art involving an extensive amount of reprogramming and parameter adjustment. What seems to be lacking is a pragmatic, practical, general-purpose tool that would both guide the design and structure the evaluation of controllers for distributed real-world multi-robot tasks. In this paper, we propo...

Syntactic Control of Interference SCI has long been studied as a basis for interference free program ming with cleaner reasoning properties and seman tics than traditional imperative languages This paper improves upon Huang and Reddy s type inference system for SCI based languages in two signi cant ways First we eliminate the need for explicit coercion operators in terms Second we consider addi...
