The difficulties associated with the distance protection of dual circuit transmission lines is well known and appropriate schemes have been implemented worldwide that enable reliable protection of these assets. However, ...

Frequent topology changes and multiple links disconnections in wireless mobile nodes impose the existence of a prediction technique to predict these changes, and then predict the future topology of the network. This paper ...

As building structures frequently collapse and cause losses of lives and properties, due to excessive vibrations induced during earthquake periods, it is crucial to reduce the structural vibrations. This paper develops ...

This paper is concerned with the design and development of a semi-autonomous wheelchair system using cameras in a system configuration modeled on the vision system of a horse. This new camera configuration utilizes ...

This paper proposes a new level set method for structural shape and topology optimization using a semi-implicit scheme. Structural boundary is represented implicitly as the zero level set of a higher-dimensional scalar ...

ABSTRACT: Native vegetation in Australia is becoming increasingly popular for stabilising railway corridors built over soft soils. A model previously developed to measure the rate of tree root water uptake and a computer ...

This paper proposes an approach for object identification and tracking for autonomous vehicle application. In this scheme, data from the vehicle’s onboard vision and motion sensors are fused to identify the target ...

A sensorless direct torque controlled (DTC) induction motor drive fed by a 3-level inverter is presented based on discrete space vector modulation. A novel vector synthesis sequence is proposed to solve the problems caused ...

Multimodal sensor registration and calibration are crucially important aspects in distributed sensor fusion. Unknown relationships of sensors and joint probability distribution between sensory signals make the sensor ...

A factor-analytic inversion model is presented which enables a data set of spectral mixtures to be decomposed into the sum of unique reflecting components weighted by their corresponding amounts. Spectral mixtures are ...
