The process takes place in a solution by an electrolytic cell usually at low voltage and high current. A circuit with a voltage source and an internal resistance may represent the characteristic of the electrolytic cell. An example is a chlorinator used in salt-water swimming and spa pools to produce in situ chlorine for disinfection. This paper deals with the analysis of a photovoltaic chlorinator system and compares the amount of electric charge delivered to systems when operating with and without a maximum power point tracker (MPPT). Good operation of the electrolytic system load line is obtained if the line is to the left of the maximum power line of the photovoltaic array. Using an MPPT in the system may increase the electric charge to the electrolytic cell, and thus, may reduce the required number of PV panels.","PeriodicalId":142814,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 24th Convention of Electrical & Electronics Engineers in Israel","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114644749","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 main challenge in this problem stems from its nonlinearity and non-Gaussianity. In this work, the nonlinear Gaussian mixture Kalman filter (NL-GMKF) is applied to the problem of maneuvering target tracking in the presence of glint. The algorithm is based on the Gaussian mixture model for the posterior state vector distribution. The tracking performance of the NL-GMKF is evaluated and compared to the interacting multiple modeling (IMM) with extended Kalman filter (EKF), particle filter (PF) and the EKF. It is shown that the NL-GMKF outperforms other tested methods.","PeriodicalId":142814,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 24th Convention of Electrical & Electronics Engineers in Israel","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114975474","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 pixel area consists of an n-well/substrate photo diode and a deep p-well, which contains the APS pixel circuitry as well as additional application specific circuits. This structure was analyzed using Silvaco's ATLAS device simulator. Simulation results show that this structure provides low cross-talk, high photo response and effectively shields the pixel circuitry from the photo charges generated in the substrate. The deep p-well pixel technology allows increasing the thickness of the die up to 30 micrometers, thus improving its mechanical ruggedness following the thinning process. Such deep p-well imager structure will also be integrated into the Image Transceiver Device, which combines a front side LCOS micro display with a back-illuminated imager.","PeriodicalId":142814,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 24th Convention of Electrical & Electronics Engineers in Israel","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129054697","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}

LDM allows simultaneous data transport in various QoS levels with full utilization of the link resources and elimination of timing dependency between QoS levels. Simulations comparing LDM with TDM were performed for routers with four clients with various probability profiles.
