We investigate localization of a source based on angle of arrival (AoA) measurements made at a geographically dispersed network of cooperating receivers. The goal is to efficiently compute accurate estimates despite outliers in the AoA measurements due to multipath reflections in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments. Maximal likelihood (ML) location estimation in such a setting requires exhaus...

The sparse nature of location finding in the spatial domain makes it possible to exploit the compressive sensing (CS) theory for wireless location. CS-based location algorithm can largely reduce the number of measurements while achieve a high level of localization accuracy, which makes the CS-based solution very attractive for indoor positioning. In this paper, a novel CS-based fingerprinting l...

as it has proven the increase of mechanical strain could resulted to increase of bnp (protein brain natriuretic peptide) in blood stream of implanted patient pacemakers. we measured the bnp concentration in blood due to different mode and lead implantation location of pacemaker in the time period of three month. the aim of study was the investigation of change trend of bnp level after pacemaker...

This paper presents a novel fault location method for series compensated transmission lines. It is established based on synchronized voltages sampling and Thevenin impedance from both ends of series compensated transmission line. The method is based on the use of phasor measurement units (PMU) technology which is aimed to be independent of current measurements, fault type, fault resistance, fau...

Most digital waveguide models of woodwind instruments to date have provided only basic control parameters such as frequency, breath pressure, and vibrato. It is clear that if these models are to gain popularity as real-time performance synthesizers or as composition tools, more flexibility is necessary. This paper discusses the implementation of expressive controls for flutter tonguing, growlin...

In a smart solution-processable luminescent poly(norbornene)/oxazine-1 (Ox1) intercalated fluoromica nanohybrid, the supramolecular organization of the Ox1 dyes can be tuned at the nanoscale level and a deep red emission band switched on by inducing a phase segregation of aligned molecules within the fluoromica layered scaffold. By combining low-temperature photoluminescence and ultrafast pump-...

In this paper, performance evaluation of different schemes for location of fault in series compensated transmission lines are presented. A fault location algorithm using two end measurements and another fault location algorithm using one end measurements for transmission lines with series compensator at midpoint are simulated and results are obtained. Both the schemes are compared on the basis ...

Rapid expansions of new location-based services signify the need for finding accurate localization techniques for indoor environments. Among different techniques, RSS-based  schemes and in particular oneof its variants which is based on Graph-based Semi-Supervised Learning (G-SSL) are widely-used approaches The superiority of this scheme is that it has low setup/training cost and at the same ti...
