At the reception of wireless communications the wavelet packet-division multiplexing (WPDM) has shown susceptibility to multipath fading. Inspired by WPDM, this paper proposes a new scheme of multiplexing, which has been called “Dynamic Wavelet Packet-Division Multiplexing (DWPDM)”, that allow adapt to the channel conditions and improve their performance both in time-variant as time-invariant channels...
A quad-band energy harvester is proposed here. The harvester is formed of rectifiers and matching circuits at different frequency bands: GSM-900 (890-960 MHz), GSM-1800 (1800-1870 MHz), ISM 2.45 GHz (2.45-2.457 GHz) and LTE-band 7 (2.6-2.67 GHz). The harvester is formed of two dual-band matching circuits and two rectifiers instead of the conventional design with four single-band matching circuits...
This paper presents the design and the optimization of interstitial microcoaxial applicator antenna for microwave ablation treatment (MWA) of breast cancer. MWA is proposed as a treatment for breast cancer in initial or intermediate stages and involves the application of an electromagnetic field that generates a temperature increase in the cancerous tissue. A model and the validation of microwave...
In this paper, the fault characteristics of different types of wind generators have been investigated. Three types of wind generators, namely Types 1, 3, and 4, along with a microgrid are simulated in both islanded and grid-connected modes using MATLAB/Simulink software. The fault current contribution and voltage at the PCC during the fault have been recorded for each type of the generators. The simulations...
The paper presents an original concept for interfacing of tensoresistive and capacitive force sensors with applications in modern microelectronics systems. In the first part, the authors show the results and conclusions of a PSPICE simulation for an original patented circuit. The used simulations models were introduced in some circuit components corresponding to the realistic behavior implementation...
This paper investigates the characteristics of both efficiency and voltage regulation of a practical single-phase distribution transformer when the shape and dimension of the laminated core are varied. Typically, the iron core of a traditional transformer is composed of E- and I-shape laminations to reduce core loss. The reluctance for the magnetic-flux path inside the iron core of a transformer is...
This paper presents a mixed three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter with hybrid modulation method. It enables traditional Si devices and wide bandgap devices integration to reduce power loss and achieve high power density. Simulation results are firstly provided to verify the validity of the proposed approach.
This paper proposes a new battery management system (BMS) for a series string of battery cells. The proposed control structure is based on a duality of the adaptive droop control theory used in grid / microgrid connected sources. The presented BMS control structure yields higher reliability compared to the conventional ones due to its decentralization features and its communication-less ability. The...
This paper presents an ac ripple repression method for neutral-point voltage of three-level inverter system with electrolytic capacitor less. To reduce the volume of three-level inverter system, electrolytic capacitor with huge capacitance is must eliminated from dc-link. In the inverter system applying film capacitors, however, the ac ripple component in neutral-point voltage of dc-link is increased...

Simulation results are firstly provided to verify the validity of the proposed approach.
A good methodology flow can improve significantly the time needed to develop an I/O library. It is mandatory that the fastest methodology also gives accurate results. Given the new technology nodes, it is important to re-evaluate all the software characterization formats (NLDM, CCS and ECSM) and see if there is room for improvement. The analysis will be conducted by comparing liberty file data with...
This paper presents discontinuous pulse width modulation (DPWM) scheme for a modular multilevel converter (MMC) to achieve an advanced switching losses reduction. The MMC is considered to be one of the most attractive multilevel topology for high-power applications because of the features of its high power quality, modularity, and availability. However, the MMC has large switching losses because of...
This paper proposes optimal switching period phase-shifted method for slave inverter to reduce grid current ripples in synchronized two parallel three-phase grid-connected voltage-source inverters (VSI). In parallel operation, a 180 degree phase shifted method generally takes of advantage of reducing grid current ripples in same DC-link voltage for each grid-connected VSI. However, in case of unequal...

This paper tackles the problem of periodic review of perishable inventory of extremely short shelf life characterized by age differentiation. The daily demand of items is highly stochastic which is differentiated by age, that is, the demand on young items is not the same as the demand on older items. This demand pattern can be found in applications such as oncology, transplantation and traumatology...
In this paper, the principle of normalized minimum-sum (NMS) polar decoding process is explored. It is demonstrated that with one properly chosen parameters for NMS algorithm, performances approach to that of the sum-product (SP) algorithm can be achieved. As well, the complexity reduction is realized by calculating a linear function instead of nonlinear function. Simulation results for successive...
As the technology scales toward deeper submicron, system-on-chip designs have migrated from fairly simple single processor and memory designs to relatively complicated systems with higher communication requirements. Network-on-chip architectures emerged as promising solutions for future system-on-chip communication architecture designs. However, the switching and routing algorithm design of network-on-chip...

In this paper we present the modeling and simulation of multi-rotors using Spatial Operator Algebra. We develop two dynamic models one where the speeds are in the inertial frame and another where the speeds are vehicle frame. In both the reference point is the center of mass, but the method applies to any point of the vehicle. Besides gravity, the external forces considered include the effect of the...
Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) differ from the traditional Mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs) in that DTNs are not always interconnected. The issue of routing data in a DTN is considered here. Many routing protocols exist for DTNs. Some are based on comparing nodes to each other, whereas others focus on the internal properties of the messages they hold. There are wide ranges of protocols, and they perform...
