Firstly, the paper shows the comparison between the traditional resistance load and the new electronic load. And then it suggests the implementation scheme of the feedback type DC electronic load, which features feeding back energy to the public grid. Furthermore, the structure of the inverter, which is the kernel module of the feedback type electronic load, is introduced. Finally, an excellent functional...
We present a parallelization of a modern FPGA technology mapper suitable for use on a multi-core processor which exploits the inherent data parallelism of the algorithm. Our parallel mapper is deterministic regardless of the number of cores available which is important in an industrial context. Without any compromise in the quality of result, we show average speed-ups of 1.5X to 3.2X on a dual-core...
Single-electron transistor (SET), the most promising candidate for the post-CMOS era, can deliver high device density and power efficiency at reasonable speed. The THmnW logic gate is the basic element used in constructing a NULL convention logic (NCL) field-programmable gate array (FPGA), which is useful in embedded systems. We investigate the tunability of SETs and find that THmnW can be implemented...
In this paper, performance and accuracy of both General Geometric Programming (GGP) and non-linear programming (NLP) algorithms, for optimization of low power VLSI circuits, have been studied and compared. An optimization procedure based on GGP and logical effort method has been proposed and employed for optimization of variety of sequential logic circuits. The results were compared to the NLP algorithm...
This paper proposes an adaptive and distributed routing protocol that attempts to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) introduced by radio activities in a wireless medical sensor network (WMSN). The proposed algorithm assigns to each node a potential value which is dynamically calculated in such a way that network traffic tends to be deflected from nodes that are radiating high EMI and/or locating...
This paper proposes an analytical framework for engineering a star wireless infrastructure for smart power grids based on OFDMA access technology (e.g., WiMax or LTE technology). The considered network model can represent the last-mile (i.e., local area networks) or high speed backhaul part of the power grid communications infrastructure. This proposed analytical framework would be useful in designing...
Recent advancement in 4th generation (4G) heterogeneous networking has opened the door for the deployment of femto-cells on a large scale. Deployment of femtocells in the existing macrocell networks and in 4G networks will significantly increase because femtocells offer increase coverage, capacity and user friendly mode of operations in both home and office environments. Therefore, these low power...
The Internet is an interconnection of Autonomous Systems (ASes) of which many are controlled by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). ASes use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to communicate routing information to each other. BGP does not allow a network to control how its traffic is routed. As a result, traffic belonging to a specific network can be intentionally dropped as it is routed by BGP through...
A femtocell offers increased coverage and capacity in both home and office environments because these low power home based access points are going to change the landscape of mobile technology and the networking business in the coming years. Therefore, deployment of a femtocell in the existing macrocell networks and in 4th generation (4G) networks will significantly increase. The objective of this...
This paper describes the development of a power device characterization curve tracer based on transient thermal measurement. Experimental test set ups along with the required conditions to mitigate the measurement errors are discussed. The measurement algorithms are implemented in LabVIEW environment as a set up controller. The junction temperature is maintained at the specified set point for carrying...
