In this paper, we propose a PWM (Personal Web Map) which is a personal and small database of interesting Web pages to a user, and develop a method to construct it under the user’s control of multiple Web robots. Though general search engine with large databases like YaHoo, AltaVista, MetaCrawler are valid, it is important that a user constructs a small, personal database of relevant Web pages t...

Position weight matrix (PWM) is not only one of the most widely used bioinformatic methods, but also a key component in more advanced computational algorithms (e.g., Gibbs sampler) for characterizing and discovering motifs in nucleotide or amino acid sequences. However, few generally applicable statistical tests are available for evaluating the significance of site patterns, PWM, and PWM scores...

The PWM principle is used to control the output voltage of the three-phase inverters. There are many possible PWM techniques proposed in literature. Among these the space-vector PWM (SVM) method is an advanced PWM method and is possibly the best among all the PWM techniques for variable-frequency drive applications. The classical SVPWM which is used in the direct torque control of induction mot...

A hybrid pulse width modulation (PWM) theme for the grid electrical converter is investigated, which combines the deserves of space-vector PWM (SVM) and elite harmonic elimination PWM (SHEPWM). SHEPWM is adopted at steady state, while SVM is adopted to reach higher dynamic performance at grid fault. A transition strategy between these two PWM schemes is projected, which achieves sleek and fast ...

Pulse with modulation (PWM) is widely used in proportional control systems for it is efficient, flexible and anti-interference. Due to the friction and hysteresis of electromagnet, hysteresis exists when hydraulic valve in steady-state, and hysteresis influences the dynamic characteristics of the valve seriously, the hysteresis can be improved by superimposing dithers with certain frequency and...

LED PWM dimming application for large scale LED video displays is analyzed. The need for short light pulse duration is outlined. PWM dimming with short driving pulses is investigated experimentally. The LED response time skew introduces the nonlinearity for PWM dimming. For LED response time skew estimation, a method is suggested that has been successfully applied to measure some of today’s mar...
