International audience; Worst-case delay analysis of real-time networks is mandatory, since distributed real-time applications require bounded end-to-end delays. Switched Ethernet technologies have become popular solutions in the context of real-time systems. Several approaches, based on Network Calculus, trajectories, ..., have been proposed for the worst-case analysis of such technologies. They compute pessimistic upper bounds of end-toend delays. Since this pessimism leads to an over-dimensioning of the network, it is important to quantify the pessimism of the computed upper bounds. In this paper, we propose such a pessimism analysis, based on Network Calculus. In a first step we focus on avionics switched Ethernet network (AFDX) with Fixed Priority/First In First Out (FP/FIFO) scheduling.

With the advantages of low power consumption, flexibility, and high readability against bright ambiance, electrophoretic displays (EPDs) have wide application prospects in the fields of education, smart supermarkets, Internet of Things, smart homes, wearable devices, etc. EPDs suffer from a severe history dependence during grayscale switching, which results in annoying ghost images. However, currently, it is difficult to distinguish diverse types of ghost images automatically; thus, lookup-tables (LUTs) for multi-grayscale waveform design cannot be effectively generated but require cumbersome manual adjustment. In this article, we proposed to adopt a convolutional neural network (CNN) to automatically recognize ghost images, based on which, LUTs that could suppress ghost images and achieve accurate grayscales were automatically generated for waveform design. Moreover, the workforce for manual adjustment was significantly saved. The results suggest that the CNN is a powerful tool for EPDs to achieve better image quality, as well as less manual cost.

The work presented in this paper concerns a switching-based control formulation for multi-intersection and multiphase traffic light systems. A macroscopic traffic flow modeling approach is first presented, which is instrumental to the development of a model-based and switching-based optimization method for traffic signal operation, in the framework of adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). The main advantage of the switching-based formulation is its capability to determine both “when”’ to switch and “which” mode to switch on without the need to use the cycle-based average flow approximation typical of state-of-the-art formulations. In addition, the framework can handle different cycle times across intersections without the need for synchronization constraints and, moreover, minimum dwell-time constraints can be directly enforced to comply with minimum green/red times in each phase. The simulation experiments on a multi-intersection and multiphase traffic light systems are presented to show the effectiveness of the method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses an advanced method for estimating dc conductivity of oil using parameters evaluated under switching impulse voltage application. Firstly, the effectiveness of switching impulse application for assessing the condition of oil–paper insulation is investigated. Thereafter, the evaluated parameters under switching impulse voltage are fitted by Havriliak and Negami (HN) model for estimating the oil conductivity. The method is applied on oil-impregnated pressboards containing different moistures and a distribution transformer for experimental investigation. Moreover, the limitations of the proposed method are also discussed in this article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INFORMATION filtering ,RECOMMENDER systems ,LOGIC circuits - Abstract
In this paper, a simple yet effective network pruning framework is proposed to simultaneously address the problems of pruning indicator, pruning ratio, and efficiency constraint. This paper argues that the pruning decision should depend on the convolutional weights, and thus proposes novel weight-dependent gates (W-Gates) to learn the information from filter weights and obtain binary gates to prune or keep the filters automatically. To prune the network under efficiency constraints, a switchable Efficiency Module is constructed to predict the hardware latency or FLOPs of candidate pruned networks. Combined with the proposed Efficiency Module, W-Gates can perform filter pruning in an efficiency-aware manner and achieve a compact network with a better accuracy-efficiency trade-off. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method on ResNet34, ResNet50, and MobileNet V2, respectively achieving up to 1.33/1.28/1.1 higher Top-1 accuracy with lower hardware latency on ImageNet. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, W-Gates also achieves superior performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MATRIX converters ,REACTIVE power ,DISTRIBUTED power generation ,MICROGRIDS ,CASCADE converters - Abstract
In this paper, a new modulation strategy based on the carrier-based switching strategy for the non-square direct matrix converters (MC) is proposed to control the active power of distributed generation (DG) units. In this strategy, the active power of DGs is controlled by the central input current control of the non-square direct MC independent from the voltage and frequency. Conventionally, each DG has a converter, and for supplying a load with N number of DGs, N number of converters are needed and each converter has its own modulation switching and control strategy to control the power output of each DG. Needless to say, in a microgrid with N number of DGs, the control strategy of each converter has more complex structure than that of a microgrid with one converter, and surely the former strategy entails more volume and price. Using the proposed converter in this paper, it is possible to supply a load with N number of DGs through one converter. Also, the power outputs of all DGs are controlled by a central control strategy. The proposed central control strategy is described and simulated for a typical microgrid. Experimental and simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed converter and the proposed strategy. The results demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the system and verify the theoretical analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the adaptive fuzzy control of switched stochastic nonlinear systems with set-time prescribed performance based on event-driven mechanism is studied. The creative part of this paper is that based on the set-time performance function, a modified event-triggered strategy that considers asynchronous switching to deteriorate system performance without strict assumptions is presented, which avoids Zeno behavior and saves communication resources. Then, by using backstepping recursive design technique, It $\hat {o}$ ’s differential lemma and mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) method, a novel adaptive performance control scheme is proposed, which can ensure that all the variables in the system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) in probability and the tracking error gets into prescribed boundary no later than an arbitrarily adjusted setting time. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to a RLC circuit and its practicability is verified via simulation results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes unconventional control techniques for a portable power supply consisting of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), a dc–dc converter, and a low-impedance load such a plasma load. Between the EDLCs and the plasma load consuming high power, a dc–dc converter is required to control the output voltage from the rapidly decreasing voltage of EDLCs. In addition, the dc–dc converter should maintain a set point by responding to arcs occurred in plasma process. This paper proposed hybrid analog and digital controls for a nonideal boost converter which was setup by theoretical analysis. The proposed system is verified with experiment and simulation. As a result, the proposed control method can maintain the constant output voltage longer than a traditional analog pulsewidth modulation control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes an optimization approach for day-ahead reactive power planning to improve voltage security in transmission networks. The problem is formulated as a voltage-secure multi-period optimal reactive power dispatch (MP-ORPD) problem. The optimization approach searches for optimal set-points of dynamic and static reactive power (var) resources. Specifically, the output includes set-points for switching shunts, transformer taps, and voltage magnitudes at the regulated buses. The primary goal is to maximize the dynamic reactive power reserve of the system, by minimizing the reactive power supplied by synchronous generators. As the size of the MP-ORPD problem increases significantly with increasing number of contingencies and time periods, efficiency is crucial for practical applications. In this paper, a decomposition technique based on consensus and alternating optimization, where integer variable targets are obtained via MILP, is used to partition the MP-ORPD problem into a set of subproblems, which can be solved in parallel to reduce the computation time. The proposed MP-ORPD problem and its solution algorithm are integrated into the EPRI-VCA software. The results of various power networks of large electric utilities in the Eastern interconnection demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in providing preventive control schedules.

In order to achieve the purpose of extending the speed range and reducing power electronics devices for the permanent-magnet linear motor drive system, a half-centralized open-end winding (OEW) topology is studied for rail transit applications in this paper. In this topology, compared with the traditional OEW topology, the number of voltage-source-inverters (VSIs) can be reduced from four to three to drive two OEW movers and all these VSIs share a common dc bus voltage. In order to improve the steady-state performances, a four-vector phase model predictive voltage control (FV-PMPVC) is proposed in this paper. Due to the spatial distribution of phase voltage vector (PVV), an orthometric synthesis principle (OSP) is proposed to calculated the duration time for the vector synthesis, which reduces the computation burden and enhances the robustness. Comparing the existing control method, FV-PMPVC can get similar dynamic performances but better steady-state performances. Additionally, the half-centralized topology using FV-PMPVC can have same speed range while less VSIs are required. The effectiveness of FV-PMPVC is verified by experimental results.

Weather-related or other types of faults can negatively impact the continuity of the electricity delivery to the consumers and, thus, lead to poorer reliability scores. 90% of customer outage-minutes are due to events which affect local distribution systems. The radial configuration is simple and has a low cost design; however, when a fault occurs it often causes power outages beyond the location of the fault itself. Therefore, it is beneficial for utilities to automatically isolate the fault and, thus, restore power to as many consumers as possible. The benefits of fault isolation and service restoration include, but are not limited to: enhanced reliability and resiliency, reduced loss of revenue to the utility, and enhanced comfort and satisfaction for the utility’s consumers. This paper provides an algorithm to quickly isolate a fault and automatically restore power to as many nodes of the distribution system as possible by opening and closing switches already placed within the system. The expert model and centralized algorithm that are proposed in this paper guarantee an optimal solution and a short run-time regardless of the size of the distribution system. A mathematical proof of the optimal nature of the solution is provided. In addition, the model is validated in practice, solving two different-sized systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last 10 or 15 years, exciting new developments have occurred in the field of filters and multiplexers. The two words that best explain this phenomenon are “topology” and “technology.” Thus, this paper will cover new connections, new materials, and new processes. This paper summarizes what is new, describes the new devices, and avoids simply surveying the entire field. It is not possible to cover everything, and regrettably, some new and possibly exciting areas are omitted (such as filters fabricated using liquid crystal polymers, active element inclusion, extreme power devices used in accelerators), and others,\ldots, because something has to be left for the next paper! The paper does cover bandstop filters, intrinsically switched film bulk acoustic resonator, and barium–strontium–titanate filters, brand new derivations of lossy filter synthesis and dual-band filter synthesis, multimode networks, new work on optimal multiplexer (multiport network) configurations, and substrate integrated waveguide filters. In each of these areas significant new work has been recently performed and is presented in a summary format suitable for those thinking that the area of filters and multiplexers has become mature (stagnant) with nothing interesting to learn. Nothing could be further from the truth! [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Although the cyber-physical system stability is widely studied, scholars focus more on system stability with communication time delay. Therein, grid-connected inverters with the digital control system are regarded as one simplest and typical cyber-physical system. Meanwhile, the switching/sampling frequency of the inverter is always selected as low as possible from an efficiency viewpoint, resulting in unavoidable delay time. This delay time is apt to cause the system instability, which is more prone to severity under weak grid. To this end, this paper provides a minimum switching/sampling frequency for grid-connected inverters. Firstly, the system impedance model with equivalent delay time is constructed, which is based on padé approximate approach. This equivalent delay time consists of three parts, i.e., sampling delay time in cyber/physical level, calculation delay time in cyber level and pulsewidth modulation delay time in physical level, which reflects the cyber-physical interaction impact. Furthermore, the stability forbidden criterion is applied to make the switching/sampling frequency solving process become Hurwitz matrix identification problem through space mappings. Based on these space mappings, an adaptive step search approach is adopted to obtain the minimum switching/sampling frequency. Finally, the proposed approach can well evaluate the system stability under different frequencies through simulation and experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SLIDING mode control ,MANIPULATORS (Machinery) ,COMPUTER simulation - Abstract
In the system and control community, the sliding mode control technology has been known as a tool which is able to handle system uncertainties and external disturbances. Simplicity in implementation and good stability performance are the other interesting features of the sliding modes. However, traditional sliding mode controllers exhibit two weaknesses, as follows: 1) generally, they have asymptotic stability in sliding mode dynamics which results in a slow speed system and 2) the so-called chattering phenomenon exists, which produces undesirable high frequency oscillations in the control signal. In this paper, the former problem is solved using a twofold terminal sliding manifold displaying desired transient and steady state behavior. The latter issue is responded to by a twofold sliding mode technology which leads to a continuous sliding control rule instead of a discontinuous switching control. The effects of uncertain terms as well as external perturbations with unknown bounds are fully compensated using updated parameters. The values of the updated parameters approach fixed values as the system trajectories converge to the equilibrium states. The analytical results of this paper are theoretically proved using the Lyapunov technique and the finite-time control strategy. Comparative computer simulations on a robotic manipulator confirm the fast convergence attribute and robust performance of the introduced adaptive robust nonsingular terminal sliding control algorithm.

This paper defines a new type of a low-power broadside test, called a reverse low-power broadside test, whose application requires design-for-testability logic. The unique feature of a reverse low-power broadside test is that it duplicates the switching activity during the second functional capture cycle of a given low-power broadside test, except that signal-transitions are reversed. Thus, the switching activity of a reverse low-power broadside test duplicates that of a low-power broadside test in every subcircuit and on every line individually. In addition, the reversed test detects different faults, and can thus increase the fault coverage of a low-power broadside test set. This paper studies the ability of reverse low-power broadside tests to increase the transition fault coverage in benchmark circuits considering functional broadside tests as well as low-power broadside tests that are not functional.

ZERO voltage switching ,ELECTRIC inductance ,CELLS ,DC-to-DC converters - Abstract
This paper proposes a resonant switching cell model to analyze and design the single-ended resonant dc–dc converters. The single-ended zero-voltage switching (ZVS) converters such as the Class E converter are efficient for megahertz switching because they feature low turn-on and turn-off switching losses. Also, they use only a ground-referenced switch, allowing a simple gate drive circuit. In this paper, we investigate the single-ended resonant converter with the small input inductance, whereas the conventional Class E converter has a large input inductance. The main contribution of this paper is to propose the resonant switching cell as an analytic model that simplifies the analysis and the design of the resonant dc–dc converters. Furthermore, this paper presents the design method of the resonant switching cell model for minimizing the resonant current magnitude and conduction loss while the converter maintains ZVS property. The experimental results from a 10-MHz GaN-based prototype demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the analysis and design based on the proposed resonant switching cell model.

SiC-based diodes and mosfets switch extremely quickly with low conduction losses. Thus, from the perspective of efficiency, such devices are ideal for a continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost power factor correction (PFC) converter. However, the circuit parasitic becomes alive while switching with high $dv/dt$ and $di/dt$ values, which necessitates the need for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance measurements. Employing the best available low-loss SiC mosfet and SiC diode, in this paper, a 1-kW PFC boost converter prototype was designed, developed, and evaluated with the objective of quantifying the efficiency and EMC signature. The efficiency is evaluated through two approaches, namely, a circuit simulation and a laboratory measurement. With the first approach, the switching losses are obtained using a widely accepted double-pulse test methodology, and the conduction losses are taken from the data sheet, whereas with the second approach, the current and voltage are recorded at the input and output of the PFC converter using power analyzer. The electromagnetic interference (EMI) is monitored using line impedance stabilizing network and EMC analyzer. To maximize the efficiency, a fast, clean switching of the silicon carbide (SiC) is necessary. Utilizing a low-parasitic printed circuit board design approach and switching the selected low-loss SiC devices with a 0 $\Omega$ external gate drive resistance, this PFC boost yields a peak efficiency of 97.2% at full-rated power when switched at 250 kHz. Furthermore, the EMI noise was measured at 66 and 250 kHz. It was found that the same EMI filter size satisfies the CISPR 11 Class B conducted EMI limit at both switching frequencies with a noise of approximately 10 dB higher at 250 kHz. As the main contribution of this paper, the best case efficiency and worst case EMI are evaluated in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RELIABILITY in engineering - Abstract
This paper presents a novel procedure for energy management system (EMS) that can utilize the flexibility in transmission networks in a practical way. With the proposed enhanced EMS procedure, the reliability benefits that are provided by corrective transmission switching (CTS) in real-time contingency analysis can be translated into significant cost savings in real-time security-constrained economic dispatch. Simulation results show that the congestion cost with consideration of CTS is largely reduced as CTS can relieve potential post-contingency network violations. The effects of integrating CTS in existing EMS procedure on markets are also analyzed. In conclusion, this two-part paper shows that CTS can achieve substantial reliability benefits, as well as significant cost savings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The number of applicable carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (PWM) patterns increases with the growth of output levels in scalable multilevel topologies, such as active-neutral-point-clamped (ANPC) converters. Therefore, it is hard to optimize PWM for such topology, especially with large output levels. In this paper, a simplified and modular carrier-based PWM design approach for multilevel ANPC converters is proposed. Inspired by the decomposition theory, the topology decomposition is introduced in this paper to decompose an N-level ANPC converter into low-level subtopologies. Then, the complete set of applicable PWM patterns is derived based on ANPC operation principles, which makes it possible to optimize the performance based on the various requirements in applications. Meanwhile, the carrier-based PWM is implemented through the utilization of subtopologies with low-level modulation schemes, such that the design process of carrier-based PWM is greatly simplified and modularly realized. Both the complete PWM patterns and PWM design examples with experimental results of several ANPC converters are provided to show the feasibility and modularity of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a scheme to design the reconfigurable filtering power divider with arbitrary operating channels based on external quality factor ($Q_{\mathbf {e}}$) control. By using an input feeding line, ${n}$ resonators, and $m$ output feeding lines, the $n^{\mathbf {th}}$ -order $m$ -way filtering power divider topology can be obtained with a simple configuration. A coupled-line output feeding structure loading with multiple PIN diodes is proposed to adjust the output $Q_{\mathbf {e}}$ values. Design theories for obtaining the desired $Q_{\mathbf {e}}$ values are provided. Then, the filtering power divider can be fully reconfigured in the states with one to $m$ operating channels. Good input matching can be achieved without using an additional reconfigurable impedance matching network in all these states, resulting in a size and loss reduction. For verification, a 2nd-order 4-way reconfigurable filtering power divider is designed, fabricated, and measured. As compared to the reported reconfigurable power dividers, the proposed design shows the merits of fully reconfigurable operating channels, favorable filtering responses, low insertion losses, high isolation, and a simple structure.

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of several important error sources for the successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The error sources that we discuss in this paper include the dynamic comparator offset, the dynamic gain error of digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the capacitor mismatch of capacitive DAC, the incomplete settling of DAC, the undershoot of reference voltage, and the input signal coupling. The integral/differential nonlinearities (INL/DNL) of SAR ADCs that are resulted from these error sources are analyzed and addressed. A diagnostic procedure is presented to identify the possible error sources based on the INL/DNL plots. In addition, design suggestions for overcoming these problems are also offered and recommended in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a model predictive current control (MPCC) method of six-phase permanent magnet synchronous hub motor (PMSHM) using auxiliary voltage vectors. First of all, 26 voltage vectors can be obtained from the switching states of six inverters, and 24 auxiliary voltage vectors can be generated by combining them. Second, four virtual voltage vectors can be found through the required locations, and the two vectors with the lowest cost will be selected by cost function. Then, additional current error correction module can better track the current. Finally, the proposed method is compared with the conventional MPCC method and another method with virtual voltage vectors. The innovation of this paper is that the recombination of vectors can better track and predict the current. A current error compensation module is added to reduce the error between the actual current and the predicted current. And the experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance such as smaller torque ripple and current THD both in steady and dynamic states. Finally, the strategy proposed in this paper was applied to the vehicle model through HIL test platform. The possibility of applying the strategy proposed in this paper to pure electric vehicles was verified under New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In renewable energy micro-source applications, a wide range of voltage conversion of the step-up converter is an essential part to equalize the typical low voltage of micro-source with DC-bus voltage of Inverter or motor drives. In order to meet this purpose, an ultra-voltage gain step-up DC-DC converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter has made an arrangement of the regenerative-boost fed switched inductor and capacitor configurations. Thereby, due to such an organization of structure, the proposed converter can develop an extremely high voltage-gain even at lower duty ratios. In addition, it has the advantage of lower switching stress across all power semi-conductive diodes. Furthermore, this paper describes the steady-state analysis and comparative features of the converter with existing recent literature. Finally, to validate theoretical analysis and test the feasibility and suitability of the proposed ultra-gain converter, the experimental results were observed by a 500 W fabricated prototype.

LYAPUNOV functions ,EXPONENTIAL functions ,NONLINEAR systems - Abstract
This paper studies stability of stochastic impulsive switched systems. Different from exponential Lyapunov function and average dwell-time in the previous works, general Lyapunov function and fixed dwell-time are implemented in this paper to analyze input-to-state stability and global stability of stochastic impulsive switched systems. Two cases are investigated, that is, the case that the continuous dynamics is stable and the case that the discrete dynamics is stable. To implement multiple Lyapunov functions, there are two subcases considered in this paper: the subcase that the estimates on the derivatives of the multiple Lyapunov functions are the same and the subcase that the growths of the multiple Lyapunov functions by the jumps are the same. For aforementioned different cases, sufficient stability conditions are established for stochastic impulsive switched systems. Finally, the developed theory is illustrated through examples from networked control systems and synchronization problem of 3-D novel chaotic circuit systems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In this paper, a novel class of quaternion-valued memristive neural networks (QVMNNs) that considers both the spatial factor and Markov jump phenomenon is proposed, the finite/fixed-time anti-synchronization (F/FTAS) of which is investigated. It is worth mentioning that the considered master and slave systems are assumed to jump along two inconsistent Markov chains, which is a first attempt at the issue of the anti-synchronization of Markovian systems and may be more realistic than most existing Markovian systems’ models. Then, a suitable feedback controller is designed, such that the error system can be finite/fixed-time stable. Moreover, by integrating algebraic inequality technologies and Lyapunov theory, a new F/FTAS theorem can be obtained for the proposed systems. Finally, this paper provides two examples, so that the rationality, superiority, and practical value of the main results can be illustrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the robust containment control problem of multiagent systems with heterogeneous uncertainty and nonlinearity while the nonlinear parts have to satisfy the Lipschitz condition. In this paper, both input time-delay and data transmission time-delay between the agents are considered simultaneously and communication topology of the multiagent systems may switch in the steady-state condition. Under the mentioned conditions, the objective of this paper is to make all the followers’ states converge to the convex hull shaped by the leaders’ states with an expected exponential rate. To this end, an appropriate smooth protocol is proposed. Then, a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional composed of five terms is proposed and the stability condition is denoted by two linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In addition to the stability assurance, solving the LMIs would obtain the suitable gains for the protocol. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to verify the theoretical analysis.

This paper deals with the issue of reliable sliding mode control for descriptor systems with semi-Markov parameters using the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model, in which an average dwell time approach is utilized to tackle generic uncertain transition rates (TRs). From the analysis of the inner mechanism of switching singular system, a continuous sliding surface function is proposed. Different from continuity with probability one for stochastic systems, the absolute continuity of system solution is a key point in this paper being ensured for application of the average dwell time approach. Then, the mean-square exponential stability of the obtained sliding mode is analyzed based on two types of uncertain TRs. Moreover, a sliding mode controller is constructed to ensure the reachability condition in finite time. Lastly, the method is verified numerically by a single-link robot arm model.

This paper deals with the problem of controller design for normal nonlinear switched systems with unknown dynamics. The situation assumes that the nonlinear component of the system dynamics is unknown and there are extra uncertain terms and external perturbations affecting the system responses. Unlike previous methods that usually apply artificial neural networks to obtain an approximate model for an unknown dynamics, we use simple adaptive laws to surmount such fluctuations as well as to circumvent the steady state errors in the approaches provided by neural networks or fuzzy logics. No information on the bounds and parameters of the uncertain parts is needed. We design a twofold sliding mode control methodology to stabilize the whole switched system with arbitrary switching signals. To handle the consequences of the inherent chattering, a smooth integral type control signal is constructed. It is proved that once the system states attain the developed sliding manifold, the system becomes insensitive to both the lumped uncertainties and the dynamics of the switched system. The common assumption of a known Lyapunov functions for the subsystems is relaxed and the derived adaptive approach provides nonconservative circumstances for guaranteeing the global stability of the equilibrium state. The theoretical results of this paper are generalized for the canonical nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties and a novel adaptive sliding manifold is proposed to suppress the effects of the system mismatching uncertain parts. A comparative computer simulation is developed to examine the effective performance of the introduced controllers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a low-power and area efficient 10-bit SAR ADC with higher side-reset-and-set (HSRS) switching scheme and hybrid capacitive-MOS (CAP-MOS) DAC. The HSRS switching scheme consumes zero switching energy for the two most-significant bits and skips unnecessary switching without using any auxiliary circuit. It is further verified in this paper that the HSRS switching scheme shows lower nonlinearity compared with the conventional CDAC structure with the same unit capacitor size and matching condition. This additional advantage permits using DAC topologies with lower total capacitance under given linearity requirement. A hybrid CAP-MOS DAC is adopted to reduce the total capacitance of the DAC, which consumes lower static current and chip area than the conventional hybrid capacitive-resistive DAC under the same settling requirement. The prototype 10-bit SAR ADC is implemented in a 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ CMOS technology, showing an SNDR/SFDR of 56.43 dB/71 dB at 90-kHz input, under a 0.6-V power supply, while consuming $1.01~\mu \text{W}$ at 200 kS/s for a figure of merit of 9.32 fJ/conv.-step. The ADC occupies only a small active area of 0.0675 mm2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HIDDEN Markov models ,DIRICHLET principle ,DISTANCE education - Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an increasing need for the automated classification of sequential data, such as activities of daily living, social media interactions, financial series, and others. With the continuous flow of new data, it is critical to classify the observations on-the-fly and without being limited by a predetermined number of classes. In addition, a model should be able to update its parameters in response to a possible evolution in the distributions of the classes. This compelling problem, however, does not seem to have been adequately addressed in the literature, since most studies focus on offline classification over predefined class sets. In this paper, we present a principled solution for this problem based on an adaptive online system leveraging Markov switching models and hierarchical Dirichlet process priors. This adaptive online approach is capable of classifying the sequential data over an unlimited number of classes while meeting the memory and delay constraints typical of streaming contexts. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive “learning rate” that is responsible for balancing the extent to which the model retains its previous parameters or adapts to new observations. Experimental results on stationary and evolving synthetic data and two video data sets, TUM Assistive Kitchen and collated Weizmann, show a remarkable performance in terms of segmentation and classification, particularly for sequences from evolutionary distributions and/or those containing previously unseen classes.

This paper presents a 1.5-GS/s 6-bit single-channel loop-unrolled successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using speculative capacitive DAC (CDAC) switching control technique. The proposed SAR ADC achieves a high sampling rate by eliminating additional delays in typical loop-unrolled SAR ADCs related to settling time constraints in their CDACs. Specifically, the CDACs are duplicated and controlled in speculative ways so that the CDAC outputs passage to their next values before completing the regeneration operation of comparators, thereby improving timing constraints for successive approximations. The switching power overhead from the CDAC speculation is mitigated by introducing an energy-efficient CDAC control technique that produces desired voltage transients with minimal power overheads. The prototype of the proposed SAR ADC is fabricated in a 28-nm CMOS technology and occupies an active area of 0.0038-mm2. The design consumes 5.8 mW from a 1.2-V supply. The ADC achieves 1.5-GS/s sampling frequency with a 31-dB SNDR at a low input frequency and a 28.6 dB at the Nyquist frequency without applying any offset calibration techniques, achieving the highest sampling frequency among the 6-bit single-channel loop-unrolled SAR ADCs reported.

This paper presents a single-stage tri-path buck converter with reduced inductor current and self-balanced flying capacitor voltage. The proposed converter introduces capacitor paths to reduce the average inductor current and inductor current ripple, hence decreasing the conduction loss. Operating with two states per conversion cycle, it exhibits a relatively low voltage conversion ratio of ${D}$ /(1 $+\,\,2{D}$). Besides, it realizes a self-balanced flying capacitor voltage in the charge redistribution phase. Similar to the conventional buck converter, the proposed converter in continuous-current mode only has two complex poles. Therefore, we design a Type-III compensator to obtain a good transient response. Moreover, the circuit does not require extra supplies for gate drivers due to the reutilization of the flying capacitor voltages, eliminating additional circuit and power overheads. The proposed converter, validated in a 65-nm standard CMOS technology, regulates a 0.7 V – 1 V output voltage from a 3.3 V – 4 V input voltage, delivering a maximum output power of 270 mW. The peak efficiency is 84%, with a switching frequency up to 5 MHz. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The search for a compatible application of memristor-CMOS logic gates has remained elusive, as the data density benefits are offset by slow switching speeds and resistive dissipation. Active microdisplays typically prioritize pixel density (and therefore resolution) over that of speed, where the most widely used refresh rates fall between 25–240 Hz. Therefore, memristor-CMOS logic is a promising fit for peripheral I/O logic in active matrix displays. In this paper, we design and implement a ternary 1–3 line decoder and a ternary 2–9 line decoder which are used to program a seven segment LED display. SPICE simulations are conducted in a 50-nm process, and the decoders are synthesized on an Altera Cyclone IV field-programmable gate array (FPGA) development board which implements a ternary memristor model designed in Quartus II. Our approach to logic synthesis demonstrates a potential way forward for simulating large-scale memristor-CMOS circuits without embedded RRAM for functional verification, and our SPICE results show an improvement in data density of a variety of decoders by a factor between 3.6-8.5. While the switching speed of memristors are one of several bottlenecks to using them in combinational logic, the comparatively slow refresh rates of typical microdisplays indicate this to be a tolerable trade-off, which promotes data density over speed.

This paper proposes an accurate impedance model for line commutated converter (LCC) in the stationary frame. The commutation overlap process caused by the transformer leakage inductance complicates the modeling for LCC. Traditional impedance models are derived in positive sequence and negative sequence frame based on the simplified commutation overlap process, which degrades the modeling accuracy and limits the description of frequency coupling. This paper systematically analyzes the effects of the commutation overlap process on the impedance model, and the impedance model with the accurate commutation overlap process is established in the dq-frame. For clearly revealing the frequency coupling phenomenon of the LCC, the complex space vector is employed to extend the impedance model in the dq-frame to the complex αβ-frame. A closed-loop model on PSCAD/EMTDC is used to verify the proposed impedance model in the time-domain and the frequency-domain. The consistency between the simulation results and theoretical analysis effectively verifies the accuracy of the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multiphase variable-speed drives and generation systems (systems with more than three phases) have become one of the mainstream research areas during the last decade. The main driving forces are the specific applications, predominantly related to the green agenda, such as electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs), locomotive traction, ship propulsion, “more-electric” aircraft, remote offshore wind farms for electric energy generation, and general high-power industrial applications. As a result, produced body of significant work is substantial, making it impossible to review all the major developments in a single paper. This paper therefore surveys the recent progress in two specific areas associated with multiphase systems, namely power electronic supply control and innovative ways of using the additional degrees of freedom in multiphase machines for various nontraditional purposes.

This paper highlights an immediate need for renewable generation developers, manufacturers, utilities and industry standardization institutes to jointly address a challenge of capacitor switching transient immunity in inverter-based wind or solar farms. The need was identified from wide-area operation records which showed partial or full generation loss in coincidence with routine utility-owned capacitor switching. The lack of a clear industry guideline has caused confusion to all involved parties. This paper recommends all entities to address this challenge collaboratively through enhanced equipment specification, design, and test before a well-defined industry guideline becomes available.

This paper presents the theory of a novel memcomputing paradigm based upon a memristive version of standard Cellular Nonlinear Networks. The insertion of a nonvolatile memristor in the circuit of each cell endows the dynamic array with the capability to store and retrieve data into and from the resistance switching memories, obviating the current need for extra memory blocks. Choosing the parameters of each cell circuit so that the memristors may undergo solely sharp transitions between two states, each processing element may be approximately described at any time as one of two first-order systems. Under this assumption, the classical Dynamic Route Map may be employed to synthesise and analyse the data storage and retrieval genes. A new system-theoretic methodology, called Second-Order Dynamic Route Map, is also introduced for the first time in this paper. This technique allows to study the operating principles of arrays with second-order processing elements, as is the case, in the proposed network, if the set up of cell circuit parameters induces analogue memristive dynamics. This paper shows how the novel tool may be adopted to investigate the operating mechanisms of a cellular array with second-order cells, which compute the element-wise logical OR between two binary images.

This paper has introduced two important indexes, turn-off surge voltage (TSV) on power switch and peak positive pole potential (PPPP) of storage batteries, which can be used to evaluate switching transient process of high-voltage energy storage system. Research on them is of great significance to power switch choice and high-voltage isolation design in engineering applications. Power switch response process at the turning off moment and transient process in freewheel stage have been analyzed by the established small-signal model of single power switch; then, a power switch test platform for hybrid energy storage system was built to verify it. Taking pulsed-power supply charging device with a novel inductor of low resistance and high inductance as a research object, this paper has analyzed dynamic process of the TSV and the PPPP at the turning off moment through establishing state space model of the whole system. Comparison shows that the numerical curves match the simulated curves well. Finally, the exactness of the employed model has been further verified in two pulse capacitor charging experiments.

To effectively solve the crosstalk issue in high-density crossbar array (CBA), high rectifying characteristics should be introduced in the resistance random-access memory (ReRAM) device, and in-depth understanding of the affecting factors on rectifying properties is essential for the large-scale application of ReRAM. In this paper, a high-performance self-rectifying device with CMOS compatible Pd/HfO2/TaOx/Ta structure was demonstrated in a 1-kb CBA. Forming-free, self-compliance, and high uniformity characteristics were successfully achieved. By modulating the thickness of the HfO2 rectifying layer, the rectifying ratio of device could be achieved as high as $\sim 2\times 10^{\textsf {3}}$ under ±3 V at low-resistance state (LRS). It was also experimentally confirmed that the selected unit cell in high-resistance state (logically the “ OFF” state) was stably readable when it was surrounded by unselected LRS (logically the “ ON” state) cells, in an array of up to $32 \times 32$ cells. Furthermore, a model based on interfacial barrier modulation and defects trapping/detrapping was proposed to elucidate the impact of the dielectric thickness on the self-rectifying characteristics of the device. The results presented in this paper provide a great potential for selector-free high-density memory applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with low switching current, high thermal stability, and small device size are strongly preferred for low-power, high-reliability, and high-density spintronic memory and logic applications. The research of MTJs from shape in-plane magnetic anisotropy to interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (i-PMA) has successfully paved the way down to 20-nm scale, below which, however, the i-PMA approach reaches a physical limit in sustaining sufficient thermal stability while achieving low-power spin transfer torque switching. Recently, studies have been reported a new approach to pave the way toward sub-10-nm MTJs satisfying the requirements by revisiting shape perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (s-PMA). In this paper, we present a compact model of the sub-10-nm s-PMA MTJ device, which captures both the static and dynamic physical behaviors. This model is SPICE-compatible for hybrid MTJ/CMOS circuit designs. This paper is expected to push forward the development of sub-10-nm-scale MTJ-based spintronic memory and logic circuits.

An intrinsically switchable and frequency reconfigurable bulk acoustic wave filter bank based on ferroelectric barium strontium titanate (BST) is presented. Ferroelectric BST possesses electric-field-induced piezoelectricity, enabling the design of voltage-controlled acoustic devices, including thin-film bulk acoustic resonators and solidly mounted resonators. In this paper, a triple-band switchable filter bank, consisting of three 2.5-stage filters based on BST FBARs, is designed, simulated, and fabricated for the first time. The bandpass filters have center frequencies at 1.85, 1.96, and 2.04 GHz and are selectively turned on based upon the external dc bias voltage applied to each filter. Turning off all the filters provide an isolation of more than 27 dB between the input and output ports. The presented intrinsically switchable ferroelectric filter bank potentially simplifies future radio frequency front ends by integrating both switching and filtering functionalities onto a single device and reduces the overall circuit area.

This paper is concerned with the event-triggered finite-time control problem for networked switched linear systems by using an asynchronous switching scheme. Not only the problem of finite-time boundedness, but also the problem of input-output finite-time stability is considered in this paper. Compared with the existing event-triggered results of the switched systems, a new type of event-triggered condition is proposed. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the event-based asynchronous closed-loop systems are both finite-time bounded and input-output finite-time stable. A set of event-triggered finite-time bounded and input-output finite-time stabilizing controllers are designed under the asynchronous control scheme. It is revealed that the triggered thresholds determine the number of sampling points transmitted to the controller, and the smaller triggered parameters indicate the less-sampled data needed to be transmitted to the controller under the event-triggered scheme. Finally, a boost converter circuit is applied to bring out the advantages of the proposed control scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper adopts a quantization-dependent Lyapunov function to study the output feedback stabilization problem of a switched system subject to output event-triggered sampling and quantization. First, a new event-triggered mechanism related to quantization parameters is proposed, which can obtain a trade-off between the event-triggered frequency and quantization density on the premise of ensuring asymptotic stability of the switched system. Moreover, sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure asymptotic stability of the switched system by a quantization-dependent Lyapunov function. Lastly, through a numerical simulation and PWM-driven boost converter system, we demonstrate the availability of the proposed quantization-dependent Lyapunov function and event-triggered mechanism methods based on quantization parameters, respectively.

This paper presents a gate driver for a GaN-based half-bridge structure operating in a buck converter with input voltage >40 V or a boost converter with output voltage >30 V. Two 500 pF on-chip capacitors are utilized to construct three-level gate drivers, providing a near- $V_{{\text {DD}}}$ negative voltage for gate of the rectifier switch to eliminate the induced pulse on the gate from the high dv / dt slew rate of $V_{\text {X}}$ when the main switch is turned on. The dead time controller tunes the delay of the gate signal of the rectifier switch by sensing the slope of $V_{\text {X}}$ , thus the near-optimal zero-voltage switching can be achieved with deviation < 3 ns. The GaN driver is implemented with a 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ BCD process. The efficiencies can be improved by 8.33% and 6.87% at light load in a buck and a boost converter due to the dead-time control. The peak efficiencies of 20 V–12 V and 12 V–18 V conversions are 86.37% and 84.39%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an optimization framework for sequential reconfiguration using an assortment of switching devices and repair process in distribution system restoration. Compared to existing studies, this paper considers types, capabilities and operational limits of different switching devices, making it applicable in practice. We develop a novel multi-phase method to find the optimal sequential operation of various switching devices and repair faulted areas. We consider circuit breakers, reclosers, sectionalizers, load breaker switches, and fuses. The switching operation problem is decomposed into two mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) subproblems. The first subproblem determines the optimal network topology and estimates the number of steps to reach that topology, while the second subproblem generates a sequence of switching operations to coordinate the switches. For repairing the faults, we design an MILP model that dispatches repair crews to clear faults and replace melted fuses. After clearing a fault, we update the topology of the network by generating a new sequence of switching operations, and the process continues until all faults are cleared. To improve the computational efficiency, a network reduction algorithm is developed to group line sections, such that only switchable sections are present in the reduced network. The proposed method is validated on the IEEE 123-bus and 8500-bus systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in street lighting, landscape lighting, liquid crystal display (LCD) backlighting, healthcare, etc. As an important part of LED lighting products, LED driver plays a vital role in maintenance costs reduction, energy saving and lifetime prolongation. In this paper, a single-stage LED driver is proposed, which is integrated by a totem-pole bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) unit and several modular LCL-T resonant rectifiers. The totem-pole bridgeless PFC unit and the LCL-T resonant rectifiers are integrated by sharing switches, which can simplify the circuit and reduce the system cost. The output current can be regulated by applying the variable inductor control. Constant duty cycle and fixed switching frequency operation can be achieved as well. The operating principle and the performance of the proposed converter are analyzed in this paper. In addition, a precise parameter design method is proposed by considering the high-order harmonics. At last, an experimental prototype is established to validate the proposed parameter design and variable inductor control method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the possibilities of reducing emergency situations and reducing the time of failure in the power grid. The paper contains a detailed description of the method (algorithm) of operation in emergency situations on the example of a Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) located in one of the system-forming (node) stations in the power grid. The level of detail contained in this paper, which has not been previously encountered in previous publications, favors an in-depth understanding of the possible solutions that result from these emergencies. The above method (algorithm) of activities has been developed based on three levels of research: simulation, theoretical and practical. This means that the simulation analysis that was performed based on theoretical information was experimentally tested as part of an emergency situation in one of the system-forming (nodal) stations in the power system. In order to achieve the result described in this article, one of the most promising types of devices used in power systems was selected - the GIS. This has been confirmed by numerous analyzes of the effectiveness of these devices included in this article. The paper contains a detailed description of the individual steps in the field of corrective actions and aimed at minimizing downtime. In addition, this article provides guidance to monitor possible emergencies that are designed to increase the reliability of the power grid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
