Presented is a newly developed stability condition used as the stability constraint for the model predictive control of networked control systems in an imperfect data environment. The closed-loop stability is established ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is usually traumatic in nature and caused by laceration to the spinal cord, resulting in a loss of motor and sensory function as well as other devastating consequences such as pain and psychological ...

An effective flood warning system in urban areas must provide the warnign with sufficient lead time for an appropriate response by the relevant emergency services and the affected community. The requirement poses a critical ...

This paper proposes a new addressing scheme for personal area and sensor networks with Zigbee. The method is based on arithmetic series and avoids address duplication and wastage. Problems associated with skip distance ...

This paper introduces a new algorithm for calculating trust in Wireless Sensor Networks based on the quality of services characteristics expected to be fulfilled by nodes. Figure 3 shows the algorithm being proposed as a ...

Many real-world systems are multi-state systems composed of multi-state components in which the reliability can be computed in terms of the lower bound points of level d, called d-Mincuts (d-MCs). Such systems (electric ...

Fault ride-through capability is one of the basic requirements for a large-scale wind farm. There are two aspects to fault ride-through: to continue power supply without breaking any part of the system and to resume normal ...

The main contribution of this paper arise from the development of a new framework for the problem of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in the domain of stereo vision based robot navigation. The new framework has ...

This paper presents the design of a new hybrid filter for quality improvement of power systems in unbalanced conditions. This filter includes a variable passive filter in parallel with an active filter. The passive part ...
