Performance Of Prefiltered Model-Based Frequency Estimators, Mustafa A. Altınkaya, Bülent Sankur, Emin Anarım
Performance Of Prefiltered Model-Based Frequency Estimators, Mustafa A. Altınkaya, Bülent Sankur, Emin Anarım
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this work, the performance improvement due to prefiltering of inputs in model-based frequency estimators is investigated based on simulation experiments. Initial estimates on the tone frequency locations, which are obtained via DFT peak picking type preanalysis, are used to design a prefilter to remove noise and interference. The simulations indicate that prefiltering can improve the accuracy of Pisarenko and AR frequency estimators and MUSIC and KT frequency estimators with low subspace order significantly. The SNR thresholds of model-based frequency estimators are lowered by prefiltering. Additionally, interesting trade-offs between prefiltering gain and the gain due to subspace noise filtering have …
Distribution System Planning Usign Mixed Integer Programming, Belgin Türkay
Distribution System Planning Usign Mixed Integer Programming, Belgin Türkay
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents an improved mathematical model to optimise the size and locations of substations and the network routing problem. The model was formulated to minimise the total cost of the network by determining the optima of the substation locations and power, the load transfers between the demand centers, the feeder routes and the load flow in the network subject to a set of constraints. The computational results of a devised sample problem indicate that the developed optimisation model and its code are adequate for computer aided planning of distribution systems.
Analysis Of Nonlinear Sustained Oscillations In Discrete Systems With Backlash And Resolution By Using A Discretization-Oriented Describing Function, M. De La Sen, A. Pena, J. Esnaola
Analysis Of Nonlinear Sustained Oscillations In Discrete Systems With Backlash And Resolution By Using A Discretization-Oriented Describing Function, M. De La Sen, A. Pena, J. Esnaola
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a discretization-oriented describing function is derived for nonlinear devices combining backlash and quantization (resolution) while being subject to discretization through a sampler and zero-order hold. Such a describing function is frequency-dependent so that the overall nonlinearity, which includes both resolution and backlash, is interpreted as possessing nonlinear inertia. That nonlinear inertia is generated by the sampling process, since it does not appear if the system is continuous. The presence of nonlinear sustained oscillations (limit cycles) is investigated through simulations.
Adaptive Shape From Shading, Ati̇lla Gülteki̇n, Muhi̇tti̇n Gökmen
Adaptive Shape From Shading, Ati̇lla Gülteki̇n, Muhi̇tti̇n Gökmen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Extracting surface orientation and surface depth from one or more images is one of the classic problems in computer vision. Shape-from-shading (SFS) deals with the recovery of 3-D shape from a single shaded image. The shape is recovered by minimizing an energy functional involving constraints such as smoothness. In this constrained problem, although the smoothness constraint helps to stabilize the minimization process, it pushes the reconstruction toward a smooth surface. In this paper, we present a new adaptive shape-from-shading method which reduces this oversmoothing by controlling the smoothness spatially over the image space. In order to improve the quality of …

This study is concerned with the segmentation of cytological images and extraction of cellular entities in order to provide quantitative data about the number of cells in culture (statistical tests, morphology, model of evolution, etc). This quantitative supply is useful in biology to evaluate the consequences of the application of active substances on morphological changes and cellular viability. It is related to the conception of a system dedicated to automatic analysis of cell images, in order to evaluate the effects of drugs on the morphology of neuronal cells. We use a cooperative region / contour segmentation, which gives closed polygonal …

A multi-layer {\it Communication Unit} (CU) prototype is developed for this purpose. This unit offers the client processes communication services for real-time operation. These services are structured in such a way that they do not depend on the characteristics of the communication medium. The basic hardware of the CU consists of a PC compatible card connected to the VME Bus. Client processes run on target cards (Motorola MVME-162) which are attached to the same bus. Target cards together with a …

Signal Injection With Perceptual Criteria, T. Engi̇n Tuncer
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a novel method for increasing the coding performance and information transmission capacity is presented. This method is mainly based on perceptual modelling of input signal such as speech or audio. Presented approach may be seen as an alternative to transforms which dynamically change analysis window for better energy compaction. A perceptual model is established in order to obtain a global masking threshold in frequency below which sounds become inaudible. Certain criteria are developed for identifying the signal injection bands. A new multiband filter design method which is a generalization of windowing method is used to separate the …

State Of Art In Realistic Head Modeling For Electro-Magnetic Source Imaging Of The Human Brain, Nevzat G. Gençer, İ. Oğuz Tanzer, M. Kemal Özdemi̇r, Can E. Acar, Mert Sungur
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Electric currents produced by the neural activity in the brain create electric potentials on the scalp and magnetic field distribution outside the scalp. Measuring electric and magnetic fields provides a means to understand the spatio-temporal distribution of the neural activity. The representations of the intracellular electric current of active cell populations based on bimodal data are called electro-magnetic source image (EMSI). With the recent development of large arrays of magnetic sensors, and systems for measuring scalp voltages at more than 100 locations, it is now feasible to implement computational methods that employ numerical models which incorporate the correct geometry and …
Imaging Electrical Current Density Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, B. Murat Eyüpoğlu, Ravinder Reddy, John S. Leigh
Imaging Electrical Current Density Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, B. Murat Eyüpoğlu, Ravinder Reddy, John S. Leigh
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, images of nonuniform and uniform electric current density in conductor phantoms, which contain magnetic resonance active nuclei, are produced using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A standard spin echo pulse sequence is used, with the addition of a bipolar current pulse. The flux density parallel to the main magnetic field, generated by the current pulse, is encoded in the phase of the complex MR image. The spatial distribution of magnetic flux density is extracted from the phase image. Current density is calculated using the magnetic flux density. This fairly recent technique is known as Magnetic Resonance Current Density …
Use Of The Magnetic Field Generated By The Internal Distribution Of Injected Currents For Electrical Impedance Tomography (Mr-Eit), Y. Zi̇ya İder, Özlem Bi̇rgül
Use Of The Magnetic Field Generated By The Internal Distribution Of Injected Currents For Electrical Impedance Tomography (Mr-Eit), Y. Zi̇ya İder, Özlem Bi̇rgül
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In two dimensional conventional Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), volume conductor is probed by means of injected currents, and peripheral voltage measurements are used as input to the reconstruction algorithm. The current that flows in the 2D object creates magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the plane of imaging. Such magnetic fields can be measured using magnetic resonance tomography. In this study, use of this magnetic field generated by the injected currents, for the purpose of reconstructing the conductivity distribution, is studied. Sensitivity matrix relating the magnetic field to the element conductivities is calculated using the Finite Element Method and Biot-Savart …

A novel non-invasive system is proposed as an adjunct diagnostic tool for cardiac disorders, which is based on processing of the heart sounds acquired using a specially designed 2-D passive acoustic array. In addition to the acoustic array, the system consists of a personal computer, specially developed instrumentation and interface hardware and an adaptive array processing scheme. A signal model is constructed in accordance with the basic assumptions made for very near-field low frequency sources. The multiple signal characterization (MUSIC) method together with the model is used for the localization of assumed point sources in the heart. Locations of the …
Genetic Approach For The Determination Of Object Parameters From X Ray Projections, Tayfun Günel, Sedef Kent
Genetic Approach For The Determination Of Object Parameters From X Ray Projections, Tayfun Günel, Sedef Kent
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, a new method is presented, based on genetic algorithms for determining object parameters such as radii and/or attenuation coefficients with some assumptions and estimating a cross-sectional image of an object from its projections obtained by X ray illumination. After it was tested for projections degraded by different random noise levels, it was observed that the genetic and fuzzy genetic algorithms improved the signal to noise ratio of the projections. The fuzzy genetic algorithm gave better results than the genetic algorithm.

Development And Saw Device Implementation Of A New Weighted Stepped Chirp Code Signal For Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Communications Systems, Scott Edward Carter
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This work introduces the new weighted stepped chirp code signal for direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) communications systems. This code signal uses the truncated cosine series functions as the chip functions. This code signal is the result of discretizing a continuous wave (CW) chirp which results in enhanced performance versus a pseudonoise (PN) code and equivalent performance and easier implementation than a CW chirp. This code signal will be shown to possess improved compression ratio (CR), peak sidelobe level (PSL), integrated sidelobe level (ISL), and bit error rate (BER) when compared to a PN code of identical code length and …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Stable nonlinear resonance effects (SNLREs) have been already studied in crystallographically "isotropic" ferrogarnet ferrite resonators (FR), employed as microwave detectors in the frequency range of 300 MHz to 30 GHz. Application of prospective hexagonal monocrystal ferrites with large field of crystallographic magnetic anisotropy leads to the possibility of a gyromagnetic converter (GC) design for mm waveband (from 30 to 200 GHz) without massive external magnets. This paper deals with the analysis of a more general case with taking into account both crystallographic and form anisotropy as well as the arbitrary orientation of the main crystallographic axis with respect to the …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The Korean character is composed of several alphabets in two-dimensional formation and the total number of Korean characters exceeds eleven thousand. Therefore, the previous approaches to Korean cursive characters pay most of their attention to segmenting a character into alphabets accurately. However, it is difficult because the boundaries of alphabets are not apparent in most cases. We propose an alphabet-based method without assuming accurate alphabet segmentation. In the proposed method, a cursive character is segmented into substrokes by a set of segmenting conditions. Then it is matched with the reference substrokes generated from alphabet models and ligatures by segmenting and …
The General Approximation Theorem, Donald C. Wunsch, Alexander N. Gorban
The General Approximation Theorem, Donald C. Wunsch, Alexander N. Gorban
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A general approximation theorem is proved. It uniformly envelopes both the classical Stone theorem and approximation of functions of several variables by means of superpositions and linear combinations of functions of one variable. This theorem is interpreted as a statement on universal approximating possibilities ("approximating omnipotence") of arbitrary nonlinearity. For the neural networks, our result states that the function of neuron activation must be nonlinear, and nothing else

Comparative Study Of Stock Trend Prediction Using Time Delay, Recurrent And Probabilistic Neural Networks, Donald C. Wunsch, Emad W. Saad, Danil V. Prokhorov
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Three networks are compared for low false alarm stock trend predictions. Short-term trends, particularly attractive for neural network analysis, can be used profitably in scenarios such as option trading, but only with significant risk. Therefore, we focus on limiting false alarms, which improves the risk/reward ratio by preventing losses. To predict stock trends, we exploit time delay, recurrent, and probabilistic neural networks (TDNN, RNN, and PNN, respectively), utilizing conjugate gradient and multistream extended Kalman filter training for TDNN and RNN. We also discuss different predictability analysis techniques and perform an analysis of predictability based on a history of daily closing …

A Maximum Torque Per Ampere Control Strategy For Induction Motor Drives, O. Wasynczuk, Keith Corzine, S. D. Sudhoff, Jerry L. Tichenor, P. C. Krause, I. G. Hansen, L. M. Taylor
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper, a new control strategy is proposed which is simple in structure and has the straightforward goal of minimizing the stator current amplitude for a given load torque. It is shown that the resulting induction motor efficiency is reasonably close to optimal and that the approach is insensitive to variations in rotor resistance. Although the torque response is not as fast as in field-oriented (FO) control strategies, the response is reasonably fast. In fact, if the mechanical time constant is large relative to the rotor time constant, which is frequently the case, the sacrifice in dynamic performance is …

We have fabricated a novel low off-state leakage current thin-film transistor (TFT) using a chlorine incorporated amorphous silicon [a-Si:H(:Cl)] and amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) stacked active layer, in which conduction channel is formed in a-Si:H and a-Si:H(:Cl) is photo-insensitive material. The off-state photo-leakage current of the a-Si:H(:Cl)/a-Si:H TFT is much lower than that a conventional a-Si:H TFT.

An Automated State Model Generation Algorithm For Simulation/Analysis Of Power Systems With Power Electronic Components, Steven Pekarek, E. A. Walters, T. L. Skvarenina, O. Wasynczuk
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper, a recently developed algorithmic method of deriving the state equations of power systems containing power electronic components is described. Therein the system is described by the pertinent branch parameters and the circuit topology; however, unlike circuit-based algorithms, the difference equations are not implemented at the branch level. Instead, the composite system state equations are established. A demonstration of the computer implementation of this algorithm to model a variable-speed, constant-frequency aircraft generation system is described. Because of the large number of states and complexity of the system, particular attention is placed on the development of a model structure …

Determination Of Aircraft Orientation For A Vision-Based System Using Artificial Neural Networks, Sanjeev Agarwal, Subhasis Chaudhuri
Determination Of Aircraft Orientation For A Vision-Based System Using Artificial Neural Networks, Sanjeev Agarwal, Subhasis Chaudhuri
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
An algorithm for real-time estimation of 3-D orientation of an aircraft, given its monocular, binary image from an arbitrary viewing direction is presented. This being an inverse problem, we attempt to provide an approximate but a fast solution using the artificial neural network technique. A set of spatial moments (scale, translation, and planar rotation invariant) is used as features to characterize different views of the aircraft, which corresponds to the feature space representation of the aircraft. A new neural network topology is suggested in order to solve the resulting functional approximation problem for the input (feature vector)-output (viewing direction) relationship. …
An Improved Method For Incorporating Magnetic Saturation In The Q-D Synchronous Machine Model, Keith Corzine, Brian T. Kuhn, S. D. Sudhoff, H. J. Hegner
An Improved Method For Incorporating Magnetic Saturation In The Q-D Synchronous Machine Model, Keith Corzine, Brian T. Kuhn, S. D. Sudhoff, H. J. Hegner
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
An improved technique for incorporating saturation into the q-d axis model (Park''s model) of a synchronous machine is proposed. By choosing magnetizing flux linkage as a state variable, iterative procedures required by traditional methods are avoided. The saturation function is represented by an arctangent function which has some distinct advantages over polynomial representations and look-up tables. In particular, the parameters of the proposed function all have physical significance and the proposed function is defined over an infinite range of flux linkage. The model is verified for steady-state and transient conditions using a laboratory synchronous machine-rectifier system similar to those commonly …

Induction motor based electric propulsion systems can be used in a wide variety of applications including locomotives, hybrid electric vehicles, and ships. Field oriented control of these drives is attractive since it allows the torque to be tightly and nearly instantaneously controlled. However, such systems can be prone to negative impedance instability of the DC link. This paper examines this type of instability and sets forth a readily implemented albeit nonlinear control strategy to mitigate this potential problem.

A Practical Continually Online Trained Artificial Neural Network Controller For A Turbogenerator, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy, Ronald G. Harley
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper reports on the simulation and practical studies carried out on a single turbogenerator connected to an infinite bus through a short transmission line, with a continually online trained (COT) artificial neural network (ANN) controller to identify the turbogenerator, and another COT ANN to control the turbogenerator. This identifier/controller augments/replaces the automatic voltage regulator and the turbine governor. Results are presented to show that this COT ANN identifier/controller has the potential to allow turbogenerators to operate more closely to their steady-state stability limits and nevertheless “ride through” severe transient disturbances such as three phase faults. This allows greater usage …
