This paper describes three control strategies for a hybrid electric vehicle, in order to reduce the fuel consumption, and to maintain a reasonable state of charge (SOC) of the battery at the end of the drive cycles. The main goal is to split the requested power from the driver between the internal combustion engine (ICE), and the electric motor (EM), such way to decrease the fuel consumption, and to maintain the dynamic performances. The algorithms were tested using Matlab Simulink and ADVISOR interface. All three strategies are applied to a parallel hybrid power train. The first solution is an original rule-based strategy with the electric motor as a primary power source. The second one is a distributed control strategy for a hybrid electric vehicle. The vehicle is built from control nodes, every one of them having the same priority. The control laws are based on the dc-bus signaling. Every source of power (control node) is entering or leaving the network (dc-bus) depending on the voltage thresholds. The last one is a control strategy for hybrid electric vehicles based on the dynamic programming. Using the fuel converter (FC) fuel map, and SOC of the battery pack, it was designed an algorithm that will choose at each moment the required torque and speed from the first and second source of power.

This paper presents an algorithm to optimize the size of the components of a photovoltaic pumping installation, composed of photovoltaic panels and a battery bank. The decision is made on the basis of the measured Photovoltaic Panel Generation, the required power for the load, the needed water quantity for the crops and the correct operation of the battery. The algorithm aims to ensure the system autonomy, minimize the unused energy and fulfill the water demand. Some tests of the algorithm are shown in order to demonstrate that the approach fulfills these objectives.

In this paper we deal with retrieving the spectral factor for an autocorrelation polynomial with only a few nonzero elements. The algorithm is based on the representation of polynomials using sparse bases. We search in a greedy way for a basis by removing elements from the basis of the autocorrelation polynomial and extracting the spectral factor, using a semidefinite program. The algorithm stops when no other solution can be obtained with a smaller basis. Our algorithm appears to be faster and can be more accurate than previous methods.

This article aims to present the design of a 4.5-V, 450-mA low drop-out (LDO) voltage linear regulator based on a two-stage cascoded operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) as error amplifier. The aforementioned two-stage OTA is designed with cascoded current mirroring technique to boost up the output impedance. The proposed OTA has a DC gain of 101 dB under no load condition. The designed reference voltage included in the LDO regulator is provided by a band gap reference with the temperature coefficient (T_γ) of 0.025 mV/℃. The proposed LDO regulator has a maximum drop-out voltage of 0.5 V @ 450 mA of load current, and has the worst case power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of [54.5 dB, 34.3 dB] @ [100 Hz, 10 kHz] in full load condition. All the proposed circuits are designed using a 0.35 μm CMOS technology. The design is checked in order to corroborate its performance for wide range of input voltage, founding that the circuit design works fine meeting all the initial specification requirements.

Neurologists frequently use X-ray angiographic techniques in order to establish the optimal treatment or intervention procedure. Neurosurgeries performed at blood vessels level are difficult procedures because of the low accessibility in the human brain. Therefore, the establishment of a correct diagnosis based on angiographies is of paramount importance. Enhanced visualization of blood vessels by separating veins and arteries from background can help, in many cases, in giving a more accurate diagnosis. In this article, three methods for arteries and veins classification and enhanced visualization are presented. From our study, it results that, using coefficients of wavelet transform as parameters for the classification, a better visual representation of small vessels is achieved.

This paper presents a successful implementation of an undergraduate robotics and virtual reality course that builds upon the synergies existing between these two areas in order to introduce computers and information technology students to some fundamental concepts, through the use of simulation, experiments on real robots and design of robotic creatures in virtual environments. Course objectives, methodological aspects and the main technical solutions are presented in detail. A survey has been proposed in order to evaluate the impact of this course, and parts of it are presented and commented.

In the recent years several regularization strategies have been proposed to tackle linear system identification problems. One line of work has concentrated on designing and studying the properties of several Kernels for l_2-type regularization in impulse response estimation;a second stream of work has proposed using Nuclear Norm type of penalties on certain Hankel data matrices, aiming at favoring (almost) low rank solutions in subspace type procedures. The goal of this paper is twofold: (i) bring all these ideas under a common umbrella also proposing an algorithm which combines different penalties and (ii) provide a first comparison between different approaches.

State-space models are successfully used in many areas of science, engineering and economics to model time series and dynamical systems. We present a fully Bayesian approach to inference and learning (i.e. state estimation and system identification) in nonlinear nonparametric state-space models. We place a Gaussian process prior over the state transition dynamics, resulting in a flexible model able to capture complex dynamical phenomena. To enable efficient inference, we marginalize over the transition dynamics function and, instead, infer directly the joint smoothing distribution using specially tailored Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo samplers. Once a sample from the smoothing distribution is computed, the state transition predictive distribution can be formulated analytically. Our approach preserves the full nonparametric expressivity of the model and can make use of sparse Gaussian processes to greatly reduce computational complexity.
