An on-line performance optimization of the Switched Reluctance Motor
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) has been developed extensively during the past 15 years. Due to the simple motor construction and power converter requirements, SRM drives have been found competitive with traditional ...
Loop yagi array antennas
(1979)
A novel technique for the derivation of the current distrbutions on array antenna elements is presented. The analysis is carried out for an array of loops with arbitrary circunferences and spacings. The simultaneous ...
New power controllers and the cost analysis of designing mixed signal application specific integrated circuits
(1993)
Power Controllers in airborne Power Systems need to monitor system parameters, check for abnormal conditions and initiate action, while conserving area, weight and power. The new power controller designed also offers a ...
A navigation algorithm for single channel low-cost GPS receiver
(1979)
A sequential navigation algorithm for a navigator using the Global Positioning System satellites is developed and tested for both the noise-free and noisy system models. Data from a six-hour flight from California to Hawaii ...
A parametric digital signal processing algorithm for arcing high impedance fault detection
(1988)
There is a problem which currently exists in the electric utility industry with the detection of high impedance faults. A high impedance fault is one which does not draw sufficient fault current to be detected and cleared ...
A parallelized rule-based system shell for monitoring applications
(1987)
Currently industry and academia are interested in finding ways to employ artificial intelligence technology in useful applications. Expert systems, a major subdivision of artificial intelligence, have been used successfully ...
Fiber optic intrusion sensor investigation
(1994)
A novel type of fiber optic intrusion sensor has been proposed and investigated theoretically and experimentally. The sensor is configured as a coherent optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) with a highly coherent laser ...
Mixed-signal processor for a Fabry-Perot interferometric fiber optic pressure sensor
(1994)
This dissertation presents the design and implementation of a novel mixed-signal processing method for recovering the pressure information obtained from a fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor. The sensor is ...
Fault location and parameter estimation on overhead transmission lines using synchronized sampling
(2000)
The deregulation of the power industry' in the United States along with the increasing demand for power may require the wheeling of large amounts of power between areas that are geographically distant from one another. ...
Applications of geometric concepts toward robust signal detection
(1987)
In many engineering applications, the need for signal detection often arises. In many such applications, it is advantageous to employ a detection scheme which is relatively insensitive to possible variations in the nominal ...
