Fornasini and G. Marchesini, 1980). A class of new constant 2D Lyapunov equations, that generalize the 2D Lyapunov equation proposed recently by T. Hinamoto (1993), is described. It is shown that the generalized 2D Lyapunov equation can be used to derive a new stability condition that narrows the gap between the \"necessity\" and \"sufficiency\" that occurs in Hinamoto's stability theorem. The generalized 2D Lyapunov equations are then utilized to derive two lower bounds of unstructured, stable perturbations of a given stable filter. Numerical techniques for solving the proposed 2D Lyapunov equations are also presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119615,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON '94","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123082907","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 model takes into account the effect of adding nitrogen and helium gases, radiation terms and the temperature dependence of vibrational energy transfer rates. Based on this model, a program was written in automatic continuous simulation language (ACSL), to solve the non-linear differential equations, and hence predict certain characteristics of the laser amplifier. The parameters that are varied for the purpose of this investigation are the overall pressure, electric field to neutral particle density (E/N) ratio, gas admixtures and the time duration of the high energy electron beam. The influence the above parameters have on the optical gain and energy density of the laser amplifier is of primary interest to this investigation. If is found that the overall pressure, E/N ratio, and the different gas admixtures have a profound effect on the energy density and gain profiles while the time duration of the electron beam does not.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119615,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON '94","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125167110","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}

Electrical parameters can be obtained by actually testing each of the motors, which is undoubtedly a tedious and time consuming task, if not impossible, due to the requirement of continuous operation of motors in the process industry, for example. The determination of the electrical parameters of motors can be accomplished more economically with the help of a new optimization technique called genetic algorithms. This method is widely accepted for its simplicity, ability to converge with minimal input from the user with a short computational time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119615,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON '94","volume":"380 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129623455","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 original design featured shared emergency diesel generators (EDGs) and 4.16 kV busses between the two units. Included in the EPS were the addition of two new EDGs, a new EDG building, diesel support systems, 480 V load centers, bus load sequencers plus numerous components necessary to segregate the electrical system between the two units.
