A New Static Var Generator (SVG), using cascaded full-bridge inverters (FBI) with binary output levels and the parallel connections of two cascaded inverters by means of current sharing reactor in each phases is introduced. The new M-level inverter, where M is 2n+2 - 3, consists of only 2n single-phase full bridges for each phases. The proposed technique not only increases the current capacity ...

This paper proposes a cascaded RLS-LMS predictor for lossless audio coding. In this proposed predictor, a high-order LMS predictor is employed to model the ample tonal and harmonic components of the audio signal for optimal prediction gain performance. To solve the slow convergence problem of the LMS algorithm with colored inputs, a low-order RLS predictor is cascaded prior to the LMS predictor...

In this paper, we study the use of boosted weak classifiers selected with AdaBoost algorithm in object detection. Our work is motivated by the good performance of AdaBoost in selecting discriminative features and the effectiveness of Classification and Regression Tree (CART) compared with other classification methods. First, we study the cascaded structure of the boosted weak classifier detecto...

Modeling of Cascaded Multilevel converter has put more emphasize on conventional cascaded Hbridge inverter. First a new phase shifted SPWM control algorithm for cascaded NPC/H-bridge inverter is proposed. Its Superior harmonic suppression is verified by comparing its harmonic spectrum with that of the conventional multicarrier approach. For DCbus capacitor voltage control, a new, balance circui...

Multilevel converters are a very interesting alternative for medium and high power drives. Of these topologies the Multicell group is popularly growing due to its advantages such as modularity and scalability. This paper proposes a new topology of cascaded H bridge Multicell 15 level Inverter which is the mixed form of flying capacitor and cascaded group. This inverter is based on the cascaded ...

A novel concept for ion blocking in gas-avalanche detectors was developed, comprising cascaded micro-hole electron multipliers with patterned electrodes for ion defocusing. This leads to ion blocking at the 10 level, in DC mode, in operation conditions adequate for TPCs and for gaseous photomultipliers. The concept was validated in a cascaded visible-sensitive gas avalanche photomultiplier oper...

An investigation of cascaded and parallel deep neural networks for speech synthesis is conducted. In these systems, suprasegmental linguistic features (syllable-level and above) are processed separately from segmental features (phone-level and below). The suprasegmental component of the networks learns compact distributed representations of high-level linguistic units without any segmental infl...

Optimal methods for designing multiplierless finite-impulse response (FIR) and infinite-impulse response (IIR) filters with cascaded prefilter-equalizer structures are proposed. Assuming that an FIR filter consists of a cyclotomic polynomial (CP) prefilter and an interpolated second order polynomial (ISOP) equalizer, in the proposed method, the prefilter and equalizer are simultaneously designe...

We discuss the simulation of reaction times in connectionist systems. The obvious way to do this involves thinking in terms of neural activations building up towards some threshold in cascaded systems, but it has also been suggested that the output activation error scores in standard back-propagation networks should also be correlated with response times. The idea is that in the more realistic ...

The paper evaluates the performance of cascaded PID controller designs for the temperature control of an industrial heating furnace. From the control theory literature it is clear that ideal PID controller is an obsolete for the control of non-linear processes like temperature. PID controller in cascaded architecture is the best choice compared to conventional single loop control system for con...
