Currently, reset control focuses on using structures which allow new resetting rules in order to avoid limit cycle to be caused and improve the performance of the system. This paper investigates the properties of some reset strategies, of integer and fractional order, which reset controller states to fixed or variable non-zero values and are able to eliminate or reduce the overshoot in first an...

Quality control of medical imaging systems is performed using dedicated phantoms. As the imaging systems are more and more digital, adequate image processing methods might help to save evaluation time and to receive objective results. The developed software package OPTIMAGE is focusing on this with a central approach: On one hand, OPTIMAGE provides a framework, which includes functions like dat...

For the last three decades, a large scale integration of distributed generation (DG) is beginning to change the electrical distribution network from passive to active. Consequently, technical difficulties are created by significant impacts generated by DGs with voltage variation being the dominant effect. This paper presents a comprehensive review of voltage control techniques on electrical dis...

The measurement of several performance parameters of a scintillation camera at the time of installation and thereafter at regular intervals is necessary to ensure that the camera is operating within specifications and to detect changes over time that can initiate a request for service. There are varied opinions on what constitutes a satisfactory acceptance test and quality control program. Few ...
