The increasing demand for non-sinusoidal currents affects the quality of distribution networks. Harmonic detection is a crucial step in the cancellation of those components by active power filters. In this paper, the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is compared with different implementations based on Fourier transforms, demonstrating their equivalences and the advantages provided by the former. We demonstrate that the phase error in the presence of grid frequency deviations and the transient length are reduced by half in comparison to the discrete Fourier transform. A novel algorithm is developed to provide frequency adaptation to the DCT, taking advantage of its good features. The window width is adjusted in real time according to the actual value of the grid fundamental frequency by means of a phase-locked loop. A technique based on dithering is employed to overcome the limitation caused by the truncation of the window number of samples, so the frequency resolution is enhanced. The theoretical approach is verified by simulated and experimental results.

A continuous-time Delta-Sigma ADC has various benefits; it does not require an explicit anti-aliasing filter, and it is able to handle wider-band signals with less power consumption in comparison with a discrete-time Delta-Sigma ADC. However, it inherently needs to sample the signal with a high-speed clock, necessitating a complex decimation filter that operates at high speed in order to convert the modulator output to a low-rate high-resolution digital signals without causing aliasing. This paper proposes a continuous-time Delta-Sigma ADC architecture that employs pulse-width modulation and shows that the proposed architecture lends itself to a simpler implementation of the decimation filter using a lookup table.

The single layer direct-coupled YBCO SQUID magnetometers have been fabricated and characterized for the purpose of the measurement of weak magnetic signals in unshielded environment. Two types of magnetometers have been designed and fabricated using 10 mm$\times$ 10 mm substrates. We could operate the conventional 3-mm-wide solid pickup loop magnetometers more stably than the 12-parallel-line pickup loop magnetometers in laboratory environment. We developed a first-order electronic gradiometer system using the SQUID sensors with axial displacement of 80 mm without any mechanical alignment of magnetometers. The system with a software filter using calculation of discrete Fourier transform could record clearly weak pulse signal of 100 pT in a magnetically disturbed environment.

In the present study, deposition of discrete and small particles on a filter fiber was simulated by stochastic method. Trajectory of each particle was numerically solved by Langevin equation. And Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to solve flow field around the filter collector for considering complex shape of deposit layer. Interaction between the flow field and the deposit layer was obtained from a converged solution from an inner-loop calculation. Simulation method is properly validated with filtration theory and collection efficiency due to different filtration parameters are examined and discussed. Morphology of deposit layer and its evolution was visualized in terms of the particle size. The particle loaded effect on collection efficiency was also discussed.

In the present study, deposition of discrete and small particles, which diameter is less than $1{\mu}m$, on a filter element was simulated by stochastic method. Trajectory of each particle was numerically solved by Langevin equation and Brownian random motion was treated by Brownian dynamics. Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to solve flow field around the filter collector and deposit layer. Interaction between flow field and deposit layer was obtained from a converged solution from an inner-loop calculation. Simulation method is properly validated and collection efficiency due to different filtration parameters are examined and discussed. Morphology of deposit layer and its evolution was visualized in terms of the particle size. The particle loaded effect on collection efficiency was also discussed.

The problem of optimal stochastic GA control of the system with uncertain parameters and unsure noise covariates is studied. First, without knowing the explicit form of the dynamic system, the open-loop determinism problem with path optimization is solved. Next, Gaussian linear quadratic controllers (LQG) are designed for linear systems that depend on the nominal path. A robust genetic neural network (NN) fuzzy controller is synthesized, which consists of a Kalman filter and an optimal controller to assure the asymptotic stability of the discrete control system. A simulation is performed to prove the suitability and performance of the recommended algorithm. The results indicated that the recommended method is a feasible method to improve the performance of active tuned mass damper (ATMD) shear buildings under random earthquake disturbances.

We review three examples (an on-chip transmission line resonator [1], a phase-locked loop [2], and an analog-to-digital converter [3]) of design tradeoffs which can in fact be circumvented; the key in each case is that the parameters that seem to trade off with each other are actually separated in time or space. This paper is an attempt to present these designs in such a way that this common approach can hopefully be applied to other circuits. We note reader that this paper is not a new contribution, but a review in which we highlight the common theme from our published works [1-3]. We published a similar paper [4], which, however, used only two examples from [1] and [2]. With the newly added content from [3] in the list of our examples, the present paper offers an expanded scope.

This paper presents performance and implementation comparisons of standard and fast DCT algorithms that are commonly used for subband filter bank in MPEG audio coders. The comparison is made according to the architectural difference of the implementation hardware. Fast DCT algorithms are known to have much less computational complexity than the standard method that involves computing a vector dot product of cosine coefficient. But, due to structural irregularity, fast DCT algorithms require extra cycles to generate the addresses for operands and to realign interim data. When algorithms are implemented using DSP processors that provide special operations such as single-cycle MAC (multiply-accumulate), zero-overhead nested loop, the standard algorithm is more advantageous than the fast algorithms. Also, in case of the finite-precision processing, the error performance of the standard method is far superior to that of the fast algorithms. In this paper, truncation errors and algorithmic suitability are analyzed and implementation results are provided to support the analysis.
