In this project a new integrated multi level AC-DC converter is proposed. The proposed converter has two independent controllers. First controller is used to control the input side and the second for the output side. The input controller prevents DC bus voltage from becoming excessive and performs power factor correction and regulates DC bus voltage. The output controller regulates output volta...

the aim of this paper is to initiate and investigate new soft sets over semihypergroups, named special soft sets and transitive soft sets and denoted by $s_{h}$ and  $t_{h},$ respectively. it is shown that $t_{h}=s_{h}$ if and only if $beta=beta^{*}.$ we also introduce the derived semihypergroup from a special soft set and study some properties of this class of semihypergroups.

In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear conjugate gradient method for large-scale unconstrain optimization which possesses the following properties:(i)the sufficient descent condition −g k dk ≥ 7 8 ‖gk‖ 2 holds without any line searches;(ii)With exact line search, this method reduces to a nonlinear version of the Liu-Storey conjugate gradient scheme.(iii)Under some assumption, global converge...

A robust approach for extracting car license plate from images with complex background and relatively poor quality is presented in this paper. The approach focuses on dealing with images taken under weak lighting condition. The proposed method is divided into two steps: 1) searching candidate areas from the input image using gradient information, and 2) determining the plate area among the cand...
