This paper proposes a transformer-assisted pulsewidth-modulation zero-voltage-switching neutral-pointclamped (NPC) inverter. With the assistance of a transformer-assisted small-rating lossless auxiliary circuit, the main switches work with zero-voltage switching without suffering from any voltage/current spikes, under simple explicit control. The technique allows for higher operating frequency ...

This study presents the development and evaluation of pattern matching refinements (PMRs) to automatic code switching point (CSP) detection. With all PMRs, evaluation showed an accuracy of 94.51%. This is an improvement to reported accuracy rates of dictionary-based approaches, which are in the range of 75.22%-76.26% (Yeong and Tan, 2010). In our experiments, a 100sentence Tagalog-English corpu...

In a number of electrical engineering problems, so-called “crossing points” – the instants at which two continuous-time signals cross each other – are of interest. Often, particularly in applications using a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), only periodic samples along with a partial statistical characterization of the signals are available. In this situation, we are faced with the following prob...

Some researchers argue that task switching involves task-set reconfiguration--that is, changing the existing task set to perform a different task. Although this idea is intriguing, it is often unclear what is reconfigured and which processes are involved in reconfiguration. We addressed these issues by defining task sets, identifying differences between them, and obtaining evidence that was dia...

Modern parallel and distributed applications have a wide range of communication characteristics and performance requirements. These diverse characteristics affect the performance and suitability of particular routing and switching policies in multihop point-to-point networks. In this paper, we identify a core set of architectural features necessary for flexible selection and implementation of m...

The field of computer communication networks has grown very rapidly in the past few years. One way to communicate is viamultiple access broadcast channels. A new class of random access schemes referred to as the Mp-persistent CSMA scheme is proposed. It incorporates the nonpersistent CSMA scheme and l-persistent CSMA scheme, both slotted and unslotted versions, as its special cases with p=O and...
