Its reconfigurability has made this mode of digital circuit synthesis more popular among the system designers. But unlike other ICs it provides a restricted hardware structure for circuit implementation and hence the computer aided design (CAD) software is also constrained. The placement being a very vital step in the design process needs to be performed optimally for high performance circuits. In these work novel techniques for placement based on constricted particle swarm optimization (PSO), adaptive PSO and time varying inertia weight (TVIW) PSO are proposed. The results of simulation reveal a competitive performance of the circuits implemented. The technique proposed here also offer faster convergence to a placement solution. The performance of a single BCD counter circuit is studied in details by using the different PSO algorithms. The netlist generated from the Xilinx design tool is used for placement and optimization results are reported here.","PeriodicalId":106953,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123131181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Legacy power system applications represent power system data as IEEE common data format, industry standard Common Information Model (CIM) and the huge number of proprietary formats that makes it difficult to exchange the system data. The proposed data conversion model can accept the IEEE reliability test systems (RTS) data as input, and converts it to XML-based format. The exchange of data using XML is validated through XML Schema Document (XSD) and Viewed with the help of XML Style sheet Language (XSL). The generated XML document can be access, navigate, manipulate and update the content by using the Document Object Model (DOM).

Many Kernel based object tracking algorithms have been developed during last few years. The computational complexity becomes very high in those kernel based techniques. In our proposed method the target localization problem is minimized using segmentation technique, instead of using mean shift tracking algorithm. Following segmentation technique the localization problem of target candidate gets minimized, and then comparing the target candidate with the target model by using Bhattacharya coefficient the object can easily be detected. So, the object can be tracked with less computational burden and more efficiently. The proposed algorithm is validated with an existing video sequence and another with a real time video sequence.","PeriodicalId":106953,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129593671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results reveal a wide variation in electrical and thermal behaviour among termination designs, under HF conditions. These variations are related to stress grading system and material properties.","PeriodicalId":106953,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116864796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Signal processing approach can be used to improve the resolution from several sub pixel shifted low resolution images. The image to be super-resolved is estimated from a set of low resolution (LR) observations, using Least squares (LS) technique. Ill-posedness is addressed by Regularized Least Squares (RLS) technique which utilizes smoothness prior. In this paper, we first demonstrate the improved noise robustness of RLS approach over the LS. Also, to avoid over smoothness, we model the image to be super-resolved as Markov random field and estimate it from the observations by a Graduated non convexity optimization procedure. A discontinuity adaptive regularizer is used to preserve the edges in the reconstructed image. Several experimental results are provided to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":106953,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128792186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lightning surges appear at the transformer primary due to direct strikes or induced voltages in the MV lines and then transfer to the secondary side and to the LV system. This paper presents a broad investigation of the lightning surges transferring through a 33/0.4 kV distribution transformer in Sri Lanka. In this work, a simple high frequency model for a distribution transformer was proposed. The parameters affecting surge voltage and frequency at the secondary was investigated for a 100 kVA distribution transformer and the proposed model was validated with experimental results. It was found that the leakage reactance and a transformer winding resistance have a negligible effect on the surge outputs. The analysis was extended to obtain the surges appearing on common distribution transformers in Sri Lanka such as 100, 160, 250, 400, 630, 800 and 1000 kVA.","PeriodicalId":106953,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128212009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
