We present the design and the test performed on ADeLinel, a Full-Custom Analog Memory for sparse data sampling. It has been designed as an array of switched capacitors. It is only one channel of 8 cells. The control part of the ADeLine chip is custom designed for the size reduction, high speed performance and low power dissipation. The memory has been integrated in double poly, double metal AMS...

This paper describes a hybrid anti-swing control scheme of an inspection robot in tunnels for power transmission cables. The hybrid control scheme consists of velocity switching and fuzzy logic control, so that the robot can be operated smoothly without causing excessive swings in acceleration or deceleration motion. In order to ensure control system robustness for greatest movement in the tunn...

This paper presents the basic framework of a comprehensive computational theory of stock market behavior, which we call Swingtum, taking multivariate stock index time series data as input, and producing probabilistic predictions of stock index movement at multiple time frames. The theory should also be applicable to other liquid markets. The Swingtum theory is based on the view that the movemen...

This paper discusses control design issues for the existing thyristor controlled series compensation (TCSC) device at Slatt substation on the Slatt–Buckley 500-kV transmission line owned by BPA. The controls were developed at Washington State University (WSU) in a project funded by Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project has been carried out in close collaboration between the WSU tea...

Abstract—This paper presents the design of a third-order Σ∆ modulator targeted for WCDMA applications. The architecture uses two operational amplifiers and distributed fully digital feed-forward paths to minimize the output swing of op-amps. Simulation results show that first and second integrator output swings are reduced by 88% and 75%, respectively. Post-layout simulation results of the modu...
