This paper presents a computationally efficient method for modelling an impact of the converter drive on the power grid. The formalized variable structure method (FVSM) allows for comprehensive studies of the effect on the power grid and examining the relation between this effect and the number of drive and feeding line parameters. In order to obtain a comprehensive model along with the model of the power grid, the parameters that are applied originate from a drive of a coal-fired power station. These parameters have been determined based on assessment and estimation. The estimation process was conducted with the aid of a model that allows for the commutation of power electronic elements. The authors confirmed that the model was correct by comparing empirical and theoretical voltage and current waveforms. Harmonic content of the voltage and current in the power grid which feeds the drive are considered to be the measure of the converter drive impact on the power grid. The standard method for the reduction of a harmonic content in the voltage and current involves the application of line reactors and distribution or converter transformers. As an example, the authors determine the impact of the drive on the power grid with respect to the adopted parameters of the line reactor. This example presents FVSM abilities with regard to simulation of complex systems that contain power grid components and converter drives.

The article presents a solution for the teleoperation of a robot hand and arm designed as a complex system that captures human motion and controls the robot into mimicking the human actions. This hybrid system allows the robot execution to be guided by human actions, therefore decreasing the planning complexity and allowing the robot to perform more complex movements and to use the human capacity of adapting to unexpected situations.

In this paper, we present a new technique for detecting and localising defects in metallic structures, using ultrasound non-destructive inspection. This technique consists in applying a dual path inspection and the matched filter to a stepped frequency-type signal. This new technique is compared with classical non-destructive testing approaches. An experimental setup is presented that allows us to validate the proposed method.

This paper presents a cloud-based secure, intelligent, interlinked and interactive application development platform that is able to collect and transmit information from a variety of data sources across multiple wireless communication systems. The platform is called S4I and it is based on a three layer scalable architecture, facilitating communication interoperability. Web-based applications, hosted on cloud servers, can be developed and customized according to the client's needs and accessed by the end user from anywhere in the world. The S4I platform brings major achievements to the wireless cloud-based communication and interoperability.

A new adaptive comb filtering algorithm, capable of tracking the fundamental frequency and amplitudes of different frequency components of a nonstationary harmonic signal embedded in white measurement noise, is proposed. Frequency tracking characteristics of the new scheme are studied analytically, proving (under Gaussian assumptions and optimal tuning) its statistical efficiency for quasi-linear frequency changes. Laboratory tests show that the proposed algorithm can be successfully used for active control of MRI noise.

Vast arrays of reporting are nowadays in use, allowing ever increasing flexibility and control over the displayed results. However, as IT developed and became available to all business domains, the number of reports used by companies started to challenge the possibility of good management. The European funded project Questor aims to create a revolutionary product that will eliminate the complexities inherent in the report management workflow. The motivation of this project is to substitute the time consuming manual search for information in reports with an automatic one. The final purpose is to make querying the report database as simple as addressing a question in natural language. This paper gives an overview over the concept of the Questor project, its software architecture and its preliminary results.

Topics of this article concern the study of the fundamental nature of the sonoluminescence phenomenon occurring in liquids. At the Institute of Electrical Power Engineering at Opole University of Technology the interest in that phenomenon known as secondary phenomenon of cavitation caused by ultrasound became the genesis of a research project concerning acoustic cavitation in mineral insulation oils in which a number of additional experiments performed in the laboratory aimed to determine the influence of a number of acoustic parameters on the process of the studied phenomenona. The main purpose of scientific research subject undertaken was to determine the relationship between the generation of partial discharges in high-voltage power transformer insulation systems, the issue of gas bubbles in transformer oils and the generated acoustic emission signals. It should be noted that currently in the standard approach, the phenomenon of generation of acoustic waves accompanying the occurrence of partial discharges is generally treated as a secondary phenomenon, but it can also be a source of many other related phenomena. Based on our review of the literature data on those referred subjects taken, it must be noted, that this problem has not been clearly resolved, and the description of the relationship between these phenomena is still an open question. This study doesn't prove all in line with the objective of the study, but can be an inspiration for new research project in the future in this topic. Solution of this problem could be a step forward in the diagnostics of insulation systems for electrical power devices based on non-invasive acoustic emission method.

Texture aspects are encountered in most domains that use image processing. Despite the decades of research on texture image information, texture characterization remains a competition for the scientific community because a rigorous mathematical definition of texture was not yet decided. Therefore, texture analysis and classification needs depth research and continuous improvement. Beside common fractal properties, this paper uses a modern fractal property which characterizes different texture descriptors for image analysis in order to provide additional information and to extract new texture features.

In this paper we study state-space realizations of Linear and Time-Invariant (LTI) systems. Motivated by biochemical reaction networks, Gonçalves and Warnick have recently introduced the notion of a Dynamical Structure Functions (DSF), a particular factorization of the system's transfer function matrix that elucidates the interconnection structure in dependencies between manifest variables. We build onto this work by showing an intrinsic connection between a DSF and certain sparse left coprime factorizations. By establishing this link, we provide an interesting systems theoretic interpretation of sparsity patterns of coprime factors. In particular we show how the sparsity of these coprime factors allows for a given LTI system to be implemented as a network of LTI sub-systems. We examine possible applications in distributed control such as the design of a LTI controller that can be implemented over a network with a pre-specified topology.
