In this paper two R‑L network simulator configurations employing a single VDDIBA, one resistance and one grounded capacitance are presented. The first configuration is a grounded series resistor-inductor (R‑L) network simulator and the second configuration is intended for grounded parallel resister-inductor (R‑L) circuit simulation. Both the proposed circuits enjoy several beneficial features s...

A two-dimensional (2-D) array of electronic circuits is used to simulate the typical autowaves experimentally found in various active media (target and spiral waves). This experimental setup allows us to obtain some of the phenomena previously described in continuous media, but with a complete control on each cell and on the connections among them.

The circuit grammar is a logic grammar developed for knowledge representation of electronic circuits. Knowledge on circuit structures and their functions are coded into the grammar rules. Those grammar rules, when converted into definite clauses, form a logic programme which can parse given circuits and derive electrical behaviour. This paper shows mechanisms for converting circuit grammar rule...

The aim of this paper is to provide new insights about the circuitry and the role of the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) in processing somatosensory information. The presence of glycinergic cells, a second type of DCN interneurons in addition to well-known GABAergic interneurons, opens the door to more complex interactions between cuneate cells as well as to a new hypothesis about the computational ...

This paper presents the latest implementation of the SIMD Current-mode Analogue Matrix Processor architecture. The SCAMP-3 vision chip has been fabricated in a 0.35μm CMOS technology and comprises a 128×128 general-purpose programmable processor-perpixel array. The architecture of the chip is overviewed and implementation issues are considered. The circuit design of the analogue register is pre...

This Letter presents an experimental realization of a recently proposed method to anticipate future states of nonlinear time-delayed feedback systems. The electronic circuit allows for a real-time anticipation of even strongly irregular signals. It is found that synchronization of the driven circuit with chaotic future states of the driving circuit is insensitive to signal and system perturbati...

Online Circuit Breaker Monitoring System. (December 2007) Zarko Djekic, B.S., University of Novi Sad, Serbia Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Mladen Kezunovic Circuit breakers are used in a power system to break or make current flow through power system apparatus. Reliable operation of circuit breakers is very important to the well-being of the power system. Historically this is achieved by reg...

This paper explores applications of digital and analog hardware realizations of median filters suitable for potential use in real-time control and monitoring applications in power electronic circuits and drives. Median filters have the ability to suppress impulse noise in signals, while preserving underlying edges. Filter performance is demonstrated with results from two prototypes.
