A new type of single-phase stand-alone induction generator using a three-phase induction machine and a single-phase voltage-source PWM inverter is introduced. The generator scheme is capable of producing constant load frequency with a very well regulated output voltage. A small lead acid battery and a single-phase full diode-bridge rectifier are used to feed the inverter. The inverter feeds one...

nowadays, many antibiotics are being used to control infectious diseases. inappropriate use of antibiotics leads to emergence of resistant bacteria and problems such as a prolonged course of treatment. medicinal plants and their derivatives, as a good source of treatment, are effective against drug resistance. in this study we have evaluated the antimicrobial activity of herbal essential oils o...

It is known that every semigroup of normal completely positive maps P = {Pt : t ≥ 0} of B(H), satisfying Pt(1) = 1 for every t ≥ 0, has a minimal dilation to an E0-semigroup acting on B(K) for some Hilbert space K ⊇ H. The minimal dilation of P is unique up to conjugacy. In a previous paper a numerical index was introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps and it was shown that the ind...

in this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3d finite element modeling and experimental tests. the structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...

We describe a fraction free version of the Matrix Berlekamp/Massey algorithm. The algorithm computes a minimal matrix generator of linearly generated square matrix sequences over an integral domain. The algorithm performs all operations in the integral domain, so all divisions performed are exact. For scalar sequences, the matrix algorithm specializes to a more efficient algorithm than the algo...

We describe a family of words in Thompson’s group F which present a challenge to the question of finding canonical minimal length representatives, and which show that F is not combable by geodesics. These words have the property that there are only two possible suffixes of long lengths for geodesic paths to the word from the identity; one is of the form g and the other of the form g where g is ...

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes with arbitrary lengths over the ring Fq + uFq, where u 2 = 0, q = p, n a positive integer and p a prime number, are investigated. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem, structural properties and the decomposition of GQC codes are given. For 1-generator GQC codes, minimal generating sets and lower bounds on the minimum distance are given. As a special class of GQC...

The inevitable proliferation of expert systems underscores the need for robust, friendly interfaces requiring minimal user training. The objective of the XCALIBUR project is to meet this need by providing natural comprehension and generation in the context of a focused mixed-initiative dialog. The XCALIBUR architecture is discussed, including its three central components (parser, generator and ...

A system for the rapid prototyping of floating point hardware designs is presented. This system, called Float, consists of a floating point class for the simulation of quantization effects associated with low precision floating point operators; an optimizer which can automatically determine the minimal number of exponent and fraction bits required for a specified degree of accuracy; and a param...

The use of a single grammar in natural language parsing and generation is most desirable for variety of reasons including efficiency, perspicuity, integrity, robusthess, and a certain ,amount of elegance. In this paper we present an algorithm for automated inversion of a PROLOG-coded unification parser into an efficient unification generator, using the collections of minimal sets of essential a...
