One of the major challenges in off-line signature verification is the fact that a person's own signature is influenced by a number of external and internal factors. This influence results in a high variability even between signatures written by the same signer. This paper proposes a method which is able to model the intra-person variability of a signature feature and also to identify and eliminate the effects of external factors. To demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm, a sample signature verifier is constructed and evaluated on the Signature Verification Competition 2004 database. Experiments have shown that by using 3 features (endings, loops and skew vectors) an average error rate of 12% can be achieved by the system. These results may be further improved by increasing the number of features, used during the comparison of signatures.

Ultra-high speed electric machines (speed is in the order of 100 krpm) supplied by PWM inverters are extremely vulnerable to subharmonics. The main source of subharmonics is in the low frequency modulation ratio of the PWM inverters available. The paper presents methods for the calculation of subharmonics.

Verification of models and model processing programs are inevitable in real-world model-based software development. Model transformation developers are interested in offline verification methods, when only the definition of the model transformation and the metamodels of the source and target languages are used to analyze the properties and no concrete input models are taken into account. Therefore, the results of the analysis hold for each output model not just particular ones, and we have to perform the analysis only once. Most often, formal verification of model transformations is performed manually or the methods can be applied only for a certain transformation or for the analysis of only a certain property. Previous work has presented a formalism to describe the characteristics of model transformations in separate formal expressions called assertions. This description is based on the first-order logic, therefore, if deduction rules are provided, a reasoning system can use an assertion set to automatically derive additional assertions describing additional properties of model transformations. In this paper, we propose deduction rules and present the verification of a model transformation of processing business process models.

Constructing a computer model from a mass of unorganized coordinate data acquired of a physical object is a frequent problem in engineering. Unfortunately, data are usually observed with noise due to surface attributes of the physical object, impact of the environment and uncertainty of the measuring device. The aim is thus to reconstruct the physical model in a way as to minimize the misfit between the reconstructed model and the true object. We present an approach that alloys clustering and generalized total least squares regression to detect groups in observations and estimate local parameters over naturally delineated domains in a noisy context. The global model is an aggregate of local models, each of which is described by a primitive, which evolves during an iterative refinement process. A resampling step with random initial assignment is added to minimize the probability that the method converges to a suboptimal solution.

In software engineering, modeling with UML and OCL became industry standards and are supported by many computer-aided software engineering tools. The increasing number of the modeled functionalities results in complex models that need more and more textual constraints to express the hidden restrictions applied to the systems. During the development of the metamodel, rebuilding all the constraints is unnecessary when only a few changes have been applied due to the iterative, incremental manner of modifications. In this paper, we present an algorithm that incrementally generates code from modified constraints, thus, the required rebuild operations are kept to a minimum. With the proposed method, the duration of metamodel development can be decreased, thus, the efficiency of the environment is improved.

The paper is concerned with the study of ultrahigh speed induction machine (USIM) applied in the utilization of renewables and recovering waste energy. The rated speed of the machine is 90 000 rpm. The main target of the study is to investigate the performance of the speed control loop in order to avoid or minimize the overspeed. The USIM is modelled by using an approximate and an accurate model. In the approximate model the refined Kloss formula is used and ideal converter supplying the USIM is assumed. In the accurate model the electric transients in the USIM and the harmonics in the output of the PWM converter are also taken into account.

Model-Driven Development (MDD) facilitates the synthesis of application programs from models using customized, domain-specific model processors. MDD appears in many, different areas including telecommunication services, communication protocols, enterprise networking and multimedia systems. Model compilers can be realized by graph rewriting-based model transformations, where constraints ensuring the validation can be assigned to model transformation rules. The approach supports validated model processing. This paper introduces new algorithms applied to manage validation constraints in model transformation rules. The presented algorithms facilitate the better understanding of the transformations, their easier constraint-based configuration, and make both the constraints and the rewriting rules reusable.

Using information technologies (IT), multimedia, animated figures and interactive simulations, the teachers can enlighten, clarify much more than by non-animated figures, usual text and speech. Within the frame of a European Union program a multimedia software was developed for supporting the education of Electrical Engineering at Universities and within this general program the teaching of Nonlinear Dynamics, Power Electronics and Motion Control. They are, of course only a small section of the whole program. The current paper gives a brief account of the work from the field Nonlinear Dynamics and Power Electronics covering only a few interactive animated screens about Manifolds, Bifurcations and a few examples from Power Electronics. They were selected to show how the animated figures can help both the students and the teachers to understand and make the students comprehend the rather complicated, sophisticated concepts.
