The ATM-SMX is modeled as a discrete-time finite-buffer single-server queueing system, where two types of traffic represent the inputs of the multiplexer: (1) nonreal-time loss-sensitive traffic; and (2) real-time loss-insensitive traffic. The authors assume that there are N identical type 1 sources each modeled as a Bernoulli process. The authors also assume that there is a single type 2 source modeled as a periodic batch arrival where the batch site follows a general distribution. All the slow-speed inputs of the ATM-SMX are multiplexed onto a single high-speed output link, and the service rate is constant. The authors adopt a scheduling policy which suits the characteristics of these two types of traffic. An exact analysis is developed to obtain the waiting time distributions and cell loss probabilities for both types of traffic.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133297221","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 discussed compensator is built of a series filter tuned to the fundamental frequency and a shunt capacitor. Due to voltage resonance, the series filter does not increase the line impedance for the fundamental, but increases this impedance for higher harmonics. Because of this property, such a compensator is termed as a 'harmonic blocking compensator' (HBC) in the paper. The shunt capacitor provides the needed susceptance for reactive power compensation and a low impedance shunt path for current harmonics generated in the load. This paper discusses the design procedure and presents simulation results of the HBC.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123985785","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}

People usually recognize several distinct emergent subshapes from multiple shapes and give them different interpretations. This paper presents a symbolic/neural hybrid system to provide computers with this kind of ability. Through this approach, the recognition system is divided into three modules. Source images are sent to the first module, that is a neural network, of the hybrid system. The network is responsible for transforming the source image into abstract visual data, named pre-attention distribution and local feature information. Then, the abstract visual data are processed in the second module that is a symbolic subsystem. The subsystem is responsible for making decision in the visual search attention processes and for managing the features of the whole shape. Finally, another neural network takes the previous results from the symbolic subsystem and performs the final recognition.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121285726","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}
