This paper presents resonant inverter tuning for current source parallel resonant induction heating systems based on a new self oscillating switching technique. The phase error is suppressed in a wide range of operating frequencies in comparison with Phase Locked Loop (PLL) techniques. The proposed switching method has the capability of tuning under fast changes in the resonant frequency. According to this switching method, a multi-frequency induction heating (IH) system is proposed by using a single inverter. In comparison with multi-level inverter based IH systems, the advantages of this technique are its simple structure, better transients and wide range of operating frequencies. A laboratory prototype was built with an operating frequency of 35 kHz to 55 kHz and 300 W of output power. The performance of the IH system shows the validity of the new switching technique.

In this paper, we consider boundary value problem for a weakly coupled system of two singularly perturbed differential equations of convection diffusion type with discontinuous source term. In general, solution of this type of problems exhibits interior and boundary layers. A numerical method based on streamline diffusiom finite element and Shishkin meshes is presented. We derive an error estimate of order $O(N^{-2}\;{\ln}^2\;N$) in the maximum norm with respect to the perturbation parameters. Numerical experiments are also presented to support our theoritical results.

In this paper, to improve further the bit-error rate (BER) performance of the stronger channel user in non-uniform source non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with symmetric superposition coding (SSC), we propose a smart bit-to-symbol (BTS) mapping of SSC. First, the analytical expression for the total allocated power of the proposed BTS mapping scheme is derived, and then we show that the BER of the proposed BTS mapping scheme improves further, compared to that of the existing BTS mapping scheme. Moreover, based on the simulations, the signal-to-noise (SNR) gain of the proposed BTS mapping scheme over the existing BTS mapping scheme is calculated. In result, the proposed BTS mapping could be a candidate scheme for non-uniform source SSC NOMA with the SNR gain.

The Monte Carlo (MC) method has become an indispensable part of the nuclear radiation research field. Several widely used and well-known MC packages were developed for simulation of radiation transport and interaction with matter. All these MC packages require users to prepare an input script. The input script can become lengthy for complex models. The process of preparing these input scripts is time-consuming and error-prone. In the present work, we have developed an open-source GUI computer program for modelling radiation transport and interaction in multi-segmented slab phantoms using grid-based system for the widely used PHITS MC package. The developed tools would be useful for future users of PHITS MC package and particularly inexperienced users. The present program is distributed under GPL license and all users can freely download, modify and redistribute the program without any restrictions.

Recently, to improve the performance of the strongest channel gain user in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with a non-uniform source and symmetric superposition coding (SSC), a novel bit-to-symbol (BTS) mapping have been proposed. However, only the performance of the user with the stronger channel gain was analyzed. Thus, we compare the bit-error rate (BER) of the new BTS scheme with that of uniform sources, especially for the user with weakest channel gain. First, we show that the performance of the novel BTS scheme for the user with weakest channel gain also improves, compared to that of the uniform sources. Furthermore, the signal-to-noise (SNR) gain of the new BTS scheme over the uniform sourcesis calculated. As a consequence, the novel BTS scheme would improve the performance of the user with weakest channel gain as well as that with the stronger channel gain for SSC NOMA with a non-uniform source.

This paper proposes a method of underwater source localization using the wideband interference patterns matching. By matching two interference patterns in the spectrogram, it is estimated a ratio of the range from source to sensor5, and then this ratio is applied to the Apollonius circle. The Apollonius circle is defined as the locus of all points whose distances from two fixed points are in a constant value so that it is possible to represent the locus of potential source location. The Apollonius circle alone, however still keeps the ambiguity against the correct source location. Therefore another equation is necessary to estimate the unique locus of the source location. By estimating time differences of signal arrivals between source and sensors, the hyperbola equation is used to get the cross point of the two equations, where the point being assumed to be the source position. Simulations are performed to get performances of the proposed algorithm. Also, comparisons with real sea experiment data are made to prove applicability of the algorithm in real environment. The results show that the proposed algorithm successfully estimates the source position within an error bound of 10%.

In this paper, we propose a new method for broadcasting in a WDM-PON system which has the merits of a simple and cost effective structure. It can be constructed using only an ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) light source and a PI-RSOA (Polarization Independent - Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier). Error-free broadcast signal transmission over 30 Km for 24 channels at 1.25 Gb/s has been successfully demonstrated.

We report the first demonstration of 10 Gb/s wavelength conversion in a Mach-Zehnder interferometric wavelength converter monolithically integrated with a loss-coupled DFB probe source. The integrated device is fabricated using a BRS (buried ridge stripe) structure with an undoped InP clad layer on the top of a passive waveguide to reduce high propagation loss. The device exhibited a static extinction ratio of 11 dB. Good performance at 10 Gb/s is obtained with an extinction ratio of 7 dB and a power penalty of 2.8 dB at a 10$^{-9}$ bit error rate.

This paper presents a low noise CMOS regulator for a low power capacitive sensor interface in a $0.5{\mu}m$ CMOS standard technology. Proposed LDO regulator circuit consist of a voltage reference block, an error amplifier and a new buffer between error amplifier and pass transistor for a good output stability. Conventional source follower buffer structure is simple, but has a narrow output swing and a low S/N ratio. In this paper, we use a 2-stage wide band OTA instead of source follower structure for a buffer. From SPICE simulation results, we got 0.8 % line regulation and 0.18 % load regulation.

In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) full-duplex relay network (FDRN) using simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, where a battery-free relay node harvests energy from the received radio frequency (RF) signals from a source node and uses the harvested energy to forward the source information to destination node. The time-switching relaying (TSR) protocol is studied, with the assumption that the channel state information (CSI) at the relay node is imperfect. We deliver a rigorous analysis of the outage probability of the proposed system. Based on the outage probability expressions, the optimal time switching factor are obtained via the numerical search method. The simulation and numerical results provide practical insights into the effect of various system parameters, such as the time switching factor, the noise power, the energy harvesting efficiency, and the channel estimation error on the performance of this network. It is also observed that for the imperfect CSI case, the proposed scheme still can provide acceptable outage performance given that the channel estimation error is bounded in a permissible interval.
