In this paper, a new zero voltage switching isolated buck-boost DC-DC converter with active clamp circuit is proposed. The active clamp circuit in this converter not only absorbs voltage spikes across the main switch but also provides soft switching conditions for all switches. All switches are PWM controlled which simplifies the control implementation. One of […]
One of the challenging problems in machine vision and computer graphic is realistic face modeling and animation. MPEG4 standard has defined parameters for face modeling and animation. We placed markers on the key points defined in MPEG-4 standard, and proposed a system for accurate tracking of them. We examine the system in real movie capturing […]
This paper briefly reviews the different types of Switched reluctance (SR) motors with different geometries and then presents a new configuration for a two phase SR motor with step shaped rotor poles. This motor has the ability to start and run in a specified direction without any difficulties. In another words the motor will always […]
In this paper, we develop a non-visual automatic wrapper to extract data records from search engine results pages which contain important information for computer users. Our wrapper consists of a series of data filter to detect and remove irrelevant data from the web page. In the filtering stages, we incorporate two main algorithms which are […]
The problem of Economic Dispatch (ED) in electric power systems is to schedule the power output for each committed generator unit such that the operating cost is minimized and simultaneously, the customer load demand is matched and the generator operating limits are met. Nowadays with increasing awareness of environmental pollution caused by burning of fossil […]
Nowadays using DG (distributed generation) in vast variety of cases has been more considerable due to its beneficial advantages, but interconnecting DG to radial distribution systems has some impact on the coordination of protection devices. The main point in the protection scheme is the diagnosis of fault locations, so producing a new method to identify […]
In this paper, we propose a genetic fuzzy image filtering based on rank-ordered absolute differences (ROAD) and median of the absolute deviations from the median (MAD). The proposed method consists of three components, including fuzzy noise detection system, fuzzy switching scheme filtering, and fuzzy parameters optimization using genetic algorithms (GA) to perform efficient and effective […]
Relevance feedback (RF) approaches are use to improve the performance of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems. In this paper, a RF approach based on modification of similarity measure using particle swarm optimization (PSO) in a medical X-ray image retrieval system is proposed. In this algorithm, using PSO, the significance of each feature in the similarity […]
Motion estimation (ME) is a part of video codecs which results in further compression of video data. But it requires a huge amount of computations. To overcome this drawback, there have been offered too many techniques yet. In this paper with the aid of fuzzy inference, an efficient algorithm is devised. The proposed algorithm exploits […]
Enterprises are now global, virtual and dependent on dynamic information access. Naturally, digital information is constant throughout its lifecycle. In this shifting landscape, the battlefront in security is rapidly changing from securing the perimeter to protecting the information itself. The primary advantage of public-key cryptography is increased security and convenience: private keys never need to […]
