With the wide use of power conversion devices, harmonic currents are being injected into the power grid. Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) is a power electronic device to compensate the harmonic currents caused by nonlinear loads. As the foundation of the harmonics recognition and compensation, harmonic extraction techniques are becoming more and more important. This paper proposes a new harmonic extraction method based on the Echo state Networks (ESN). ESN is a new type of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), which has much faster training speed than other types of RNN. To evaluate the dynamic system modeling capability of the ESN, the ESN with different dynamic reservoir size are discussed. The performance of the ESN based harmonic extraction method is compared with traditional methods and method based on multilayer perceptron networks (MLP). The ESN algorithm is trained and tested in MATLAB.

With more and more attention on the grid current harmonic in recent years, many control schemes of the Pulse Width Modulation Voltage Source Converter (PWM-VSC) have been investigated. Conventional PI controller has shown limitations such as sensitivity to load and system parameter variation. Even the stability of the system can be threatened under a large and sudden load change. In this paper, the practical situation of a VSC for industrial Micro Grid (MG) is considered and an Artificial neural network (ANN) based control method is employed to solve the problem. Meanwhile, an on-line parameter tuning algorithm is introduced for its advantage of self-tuning and system character identification. The proposed control scheme is verified through simulation based on SABER software. The simulation results have shown the advantage of the proposed method and the performance of the parameter tuning session.

In this paper, a modified method for landslide prediction is presented. This method is based on the back propagation neural network(BPNN), and we use the combination of genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm to optimize the weights and biases of the network. The improved BPNN modeling can work out the complex nonlinear relation by learning model and using the present data. This paper demonstrates that the revised BPNN modeling can be used to predict and calculate landslide deformation, quicken the learning speed of network and improve the predicting precision. Applying this thinking and method into research of some landslide in the Three Gorges reservoir, the validity and practical value of this model can be demonstrated. And it also shows that the dynamic prediction of landslide deformation is very crucial.

In Ultrasound imaging, speckle noise is the most serious problem which affects the performance of images. Non-local mean filter is a nice method to remove the speckle noise, but the algorithm' computational complexity makes it's a highly time-consuming method. In many applications like image-guided surgical intervention, real-time de-noising is required. This paper implements a NLM method accelerated by GPU for real-time denoising of 3D ultrasound images. The experimental results show the proposed accelerated de-noising method is efficient in terms of denoising quality and real-time.

So far, all of the approximate Jacobian controllers for robot manipulators proposed in the literatures have assumed that the exact joint velocity measurements are available. In this paper, we propose alternative controller designs without the use of joint velocity measurements. To provide the joint velocities used by the controllers, we introduce the well-known sliding mode observers to estimate the robot manipulator states. In addition, Lyapunov analysis is presented to show that the combined controller-observer designs can achieve asymptotical stability in the sliding patch. Simulation results are also presented to show the performance of the proposed methods.

The capacity for walking is an important assessment to reflect the ability about how the patients who have movement disorders to control their lower limbs. Electroencephalography (EEC), which can describe brain activities, has been widely used in the field of neural engineering. The present study investigates 2D scalp topography mapping while the subjects perform gait-like movements with the assistance of a dynamic tilt table. Based on the result, we concluded that the motor function and the most nerve circuit of lower limbs in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients in level D are as normal as healthy human.

Feature extraction in brain-computer interface (BCI) work is an important task that significantly affects the success of brain signal classification. In this paper, a feature extraction method of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals based on wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) is used. The coefficients mean of wavelet packet decomposition and wavelet packet energy of special sub-bands are employed as the original features. The Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) is used to measure the separabilities of those features. The features which had a higher separability will be considered as effective ones and then the final feature vector are formed. A feature vector is obtained by combining the selected features from six channels. Then, the features are classified by using the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) algorithm. We obtained significant improvement for the speed and accuracy of the classification for data set Ia, which is a typical representative of one kind of BCI competition 2003 data. The classification results have proved the effectiveness of the proposed method.
