This letter focuses on the a posteriori correction of Volterra–Laguerre models in order to meet specific static or dynamic requirements. The authors set a general theoretical framework and provide an illustrative example.

Simple static and dynamic models of the 3-loop Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) system are suggested and analyzed. Analytical expressions for the gain constants and the transfer functions of the feedback and feedforward loops of the APFC controller circuits are obtained and their influence on the static and dynamic behavior of the APFC system is discussed. The theory is supported by comput...

The structure of leading nonperturbative corrections to the static Coulomb potential in QCD at small distances is analyzed. We argue in favor of the correction linearly dependent on distance and remark that lattice measurements of static potential for charges in higher representations can distinguish between different phenomenological models explaining its existence. Related problems of validit...

Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) is a flap-free intrastromal technique for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism. To date, this technique lacks automated centration and cyclotorsion control, so several concerns have been raised regarding its capability to correct moderate or high levels of astigmatism. The objective of this paper is to review the reported SMILE outcomes for...

This paper proposes a 7T SRAM that realizes a blocklevel instantaneous comparison feature. The proposed SRAM is useful for operation results comparison in dual modular redundancy (DMR). The data size that can be instantaneously compared is scalable using the proposed structure. The 1-Mb SRAM comprises 16-Kb blocks in which 8-Kb data can be compared in 130.0 ns. The proposed scheme reduces energ...

Previous spreadsheet inspection experiments have had human subjects look for seeded errors in spreadsheets. In this study, subjects attempted to find errors in human-developed spreadsheets to avoid the potential artifacts created by error seeding. Human subject success rates were compared to the successful rates for error-flagging by spreadsheet static analysis tools (SSATs) applied to the same...

Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) have been touted for their inherent resistance to invasive attacks and low cost in providing a hardware root of trust for various security applications. SRAM PUFs in particular are popular in industry for key/ID generation. Due to intrinsic process variations, SRAM cells, ideally, tend to have the same start-up behavior. SRAM PUFs exploit this start-up beh...

The present work contains information about the design and implementation of a SRAM memory that is able to cope with SEU and SET produced by radiation. This paper shows how two different techniques could be implemented together to aim that target. The architecture of the memory is proposed, and details of the different blocks are given. Also a new method is developed and proposed for automatic ...

The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a fieldbus network with real-time capabilities. It is generally considered that CAN guarantees atomic multicast properties, through its extensive error detection/signalling mechanisms. However, there are error situations where messages can be delivered in duplicate by some receivers or delivered only by a subset of the receivers, leading to inconsistencies i...
