To check the stability margins the designers commonly use the graphical method which is very constraining when the verification must be done several times, as for instance when a routine is to be developped. In this paper a practical method is proposed, based on the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma. This method avoids the conservatism induced by H∞ analysis and a huge calculation as the one ...

Work discussed in this paper is related to the denoising of a CT image before further using it. In order to attain the objective Dual Tree Discrete Wavelet Transform (DT-DWT) and wiener filter are being used to remove the noise that are either introduced in the image during capturing or injected into the image during transmission. The DT-DWT has an excellent performance in the denoising field a...

In this lecture, recent developments on connections between Markov processes and nonequilibrium statistical mechanical systems are discussed. A statistical mechanical analogy is developed for Markov processes and a local entropic measure of their true asymmetry is defined. Introducing partial observations, conditional and joint analogies are developed for Markov processes and their optimal filt...

A new current-mode multifunction filter using minimum number of passive elements is proposed. The proposed filter has single-input and four high-impedance outputs. It uses four passive elements (two capacitors and two resistors) and four dual output second generation current conveyors. Each output provides a different filter response, namely, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-reject. The ...

A generic lumped-element circuit of dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) is proposed based on novel composite shunt resonators, and its design method is developed with closed-form formulas. As an example, a DBBSF with center frequencies of 1.7 and 2.3GHz is designed and fabricated using microstrip lines. The measured frequency response agrees excellently with the theoretical predictions, validatin...

A highly miniaturized 2.45/5.7 GHz dual-band bandpass filter is presented in this paper. It shows that the proposed filter which combines different sizes of open-loop resonators can excite two desired passbands. With the meandered technology and fractal geometry, the overall size is extremely compact compared with the published dual-band bandpass filters. Furthermore, the skirt selectivity of t...

The effects of positively charged nylon and depth (cellulose-diatomaceous earth) filters on endotoxin removal from various solutions were evaluated. The charged filter media removed significant amounts of Escherichia coli and natural endotoxin from tap water, distilled water, sugars, and NaCl solutions; no significant removal of endotoxin was observed with negatively charged filter media. The e...

In [9] S. Yoshiara determines possible automorphism group of doubly transitive dimensional dual hyperovals. He shows, that a doubly transitive dual hyperoval D is either isomorphic to the Mathieu dual hyperoval or the dual hyperoval is defined over F2 and if the hyperoval has rank n, the automorphism group has the form E · S, with an elementary abelian group E of order 2 and S a subgroup of GL(...

In this paper, we proposed a new feature based image mosaic algorithm. The improved RANSAC homography algorithm based on the modified media flow filter, to detect wrong matches for improving the stability of the normal RANSAC homography algorithm. The method improved the local registration between neighboring images. Experiments and Statistical Analysis show that our mosaic method is robust. Ke...
