This paper concerns with exploiting an oblique projection technique to solve a general class of large and sparse least squares problem over symmetric arrowhead matrices. As a matter of fact, we develop the conjugate gradient least squares (CGLS) algorithm to obtain the minimum norm symmetric arrowhead least squares solution of the general coupled matrix equations. Furthermore, an approach is offered for computing the optimal approximate symmetric arrowhead solution of the mentioned least squares problem corresponding to a given arbitrary matrix group. In addition, the minimization property of the proposed algorithm is established by utilizing the feature of approximate solutions derived by the projection method. Finally, some numerical experiments are examined which reveal the applicability and feasibility of the handled algorithm.

For complex channel blind equalization, this study presents the performance and characteristics of two complex blind information theoretic learning algorithms (ITL) which are based on minimization of Euclidian distance (ED) between probability density functions compared to constant modulus algorithm which is based on mean squared error (MSE) criterion. The complex-valued ED algorithm employing constant modulus error and the complex-valued ED algorithm using a self-generated symbol set are analyzed to have the fact that the cost function of the latter forces the output signal to have correct symbol values and compensate amplitude and phase distortion simultaneously without any phase compensation process. Simulation results through MSE convergence and constellation comparison for severely distorted complex channels show significantly enhanced performance of symbol-point concentration with no phase rotation.

Techniques for mismatch loss minimization to increase the PV system efficiency are under development recently. In this paper, a method to make diagnosis of PV module mismatch is presented, which uses a concept of operating point factor. The method is based on the fact that the ratio of the incremental conductance of a PV module to instantaneous conductance is 1 when the module is operating at its maximum power point. The variations of module voltage and current are taking place by the maximum power point tracker in the power conditioning units of PV system. The effectiveness of the method is verified through an application to a real PV system.

A split-spectrum processing technique for an ultrasonic flaw detection system has been developed, which improves the flaw-to-grain echo ratio in large-grained materials. The enhancement is achieved by partitioning a wide-band received spectrum to obtain frequency shifted bands, which are then processed to suppress the grain echoes with respect to the flaw echo, using a novel signal minimization algorithm. A technique for suppression of grain echoes has also been devised which takes advantage of the fact that the grain echo amplitude changes with the frequency of the incident ultrasound whereas the flaw echo amplitude does not. The combination of this technique and the new flaw detection system greatly improve the capabilities of ultrasonic evaluation of large grain materials.

In a wireless sensor network (WSN) setting, this paper presents a distributed decision-making framework and illustrates its application in an online structural health monitoring (SHM) system. The objective is to recover a damage severity vector, which identifies, localizes, and quantifies damages in a structure, via distributive and collaborative decision-making among wireless sensors. Observing the fact that damages are generally scarce in a structure, this paper develops a nonlinear 0-norm minimization formulation to recover the sparse damage severity vector, then relaxes it to a linear and distributively tractable one. An optimal algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and a heuristic distributed linear programming (DLP) algorithm are proposed to estimate the damage severity vector distributively. By limiting sensors to exchange information among neighboring sensors, the distributed decision-making algorithms reduce communication costs, thus alleviate the channel interference and prolong the network lifetime. Simulation results in monitoring a steel frame structure prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

This paper deals with the ripple reduction of the electromagnetic torque developed in IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). Generally, torque ripple is an important causes of vibration and noise of motor. For reducing torque ripple in IPM with nonsinusoidal EMF, the optimal current which is able to control maximum torque/ampere is considered to be introduced In the proposed method. The fact of torque ripple being reduced when the optimal current Is used in motor is verified through simulation and experiment.

In this paper, an algorithm for approximating zeros of sum of three monotone operators is introduced and its convergence properties are studied in the setting of 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Unlike the existing algorithms whose step-sizes usually depend on the knowledge of the operator norm or Lipschitz constant, a nice feature of the proposed algorithm is the fact that it requires only a diminishing and non-summable step-size to obtain strong convergence of the iterates to a solution of the problem. Finally, the proposed algorithm is implemented in the setting of a classical Banach space to support the theory established.

In order to design a huge VLSI system, the scan testing methodology by employing scan flip-flops(cells) is a popular method to test those If chips. In this case, the connection order of scan cells are not important, and hence the order can be determined in the very final stage of physical design such as cell placement. Using this fact, we propose, in this paper, a scan cell reordering method which minimizes the length of wires for scan chain connections. Especially, our reordering method is newly proposed method in the case when the scan cells are grouped according to their clock domains. In fact, the proposed reordering method reduces the wire length about 13.6% more than that by previously proposed reordering method. Our method may also be applicable for reordering scan chains that have various constraints on the scan cell locations due to the chain grouping.

Wireless Sensor Network collects a data from the specific area and the control is composed of small sensor nodes. Like this sensors to after that is established at the beginning are operated with the battery, the operational duration until several years must be continued from several months and will be able to apply the resources which is restricted in efficiently there must be. In this paper RHC (rounting history cache) applies in Directed Diffusion which apply a data central concept a reliability and an efficiency in data transfer course set. RHC algorithms which proposes each sensor node updated RHC of oneself with periodic and because storing the optimization course the course and, every event occurrence hour they reset the energy is wasted the fact that a reliability with minimization of duplication message improved.

This study has attempted to figure out the effects of the surface heat of perm rods on hair. For this, after forming perm waves, hair damage and its causes have been investigated with a different hair bleach method. If hair was bleached immediately without shampooing after a perm using the heat of rods, great perm waves were formed. However, severe damage was found on the hair because of the heated rods. In addition, when hair was shampooed and dried after the perm, hair bleach was more effective. It has been confirmed that hair was damaged because of high temperature of the surface of the rods. In fact, the heated rods had a direct effect on hair damage. According to these results, it has been confirmed that heat-based perms can accelerate hair damage. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a study on the minimization of the heating of permanent tools.
