This paper describes application of Rationalized Haar Transform and Block Pulse Function for digital protection of power transformers. Digital relay algorithms are developed to extract fundamental, second harmonic and fifth harmonic components. These components are then used for harmonic restraint differential protection of power transformers. The Block Pulse Function based method is computatio...

in this article the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modied three-dimensional block-pulse functions (m3d-bfs). this method converts the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. the illustrative   examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our   scheme.

heat stress effects on physical and mental health of workers and decreases human function. asphalt workers are both exposed to the heat of their working process and to the sun heat. this study aimed at evaluating thermal stress and its following function fall and the effect of asphalt work on the degree of heat stress and asphalt workers’ physiological parameters. the present study was done at ...

In this paper, we propose an iterative procedure based on two dimensionalfuzzy block-pulse functions for solving nonlinear fuzzy Fredholm integralequations of the second kind. The error estimation and numerical stabilityof the proposed method are given in terms of supplementary Lipschitz condition.Finally, illustrative examples are included in order to demonstrate the accuracyand convergence of...

REX is an industrial control system which has been developed by the authors of this paper and by several their colleagues during the last decade. Control algorithms of REX are contained in a large function block library (block set). Controller blocks, including various PID controllers, cover a significant part of the library. This paper briefly explains main ideas of REX and it focuses on descr...

this paper presents a full duplex, real time implementation of itu-t g.723.1 [7,8] speech coder using the tms320c5402 dsp chip which is based on a 16 bit fixed-point architecture. an optimization method is proposed in order to reduce the total necessary cycle time consumed in real-time implementation. the multi-pulse maximum likelihood quantization (mp-mlq) excitation search block which is the ...
