In this paper, a face recognition system, by using Contourlet transform (CT) as a two dimensional discrete transform and principal component analysis (PCA) as a sub-space method to form the feature vectors, is implemented. Any input image is decomposed by CT up to three levels and the CT coefficients are obtained at three scales and […]
This paper presents new designing for robot that moves like worm and the structure of this robot is made by the Shape-Memory Alloy (SMA). The smart alloys and the alloys in special kinds of artificial muscles apply motor action to the heat or coldness in the construction of artificial muscles. This robot is controlled by […]
In this paper, variable latency speculative Multiply-Accumulator (MAC) architectures are introduced. The proposed architectures use the idea of integrating the results vectors of multiplier in parallel with the accumulator to create asynchronous data paths design. The proposed variable latency speculative MACs consist of two short and long data paths and a circuit is used to […]
In different medical applications, physical stimulation techniques are used to assist the treatment and improve the treatment conditions from different perspectives. They can accelerate the healing process and stimulate biological processes and healing mechanisms. In oral and maxillofacial reconstruction, one of the widely used physical stimulation techniques is Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). LLLT is a […]
During peak demand hours, hydroelectric energy is one of the most significant sources of energy. Power sector restructuring has increased competition among the country’s electricity providers. Estimating the future price of energy is critical for producers in order to enhance investment profit and make better use of resources. One of the most significant technologies of […]
Switched Boost Inverter (SBI) operates in buck-boost mode with an extensive spectrum of output voltage obtainable from a specific source voltage. Also, this structure provides superior protection against Electromagnetic Wave Interference (EMI) juxtaposed with the traditional impedance source inverter. The number of energy storage elements in this structure has been reduced, which increases the efficiency […]
