The measured impedance at the relaying point is affected by several factors, including the line pre-fault loading, structural conditions, and specially the fault resistance. In the presence of SSSC, in addition to its structural and controlling parameters, its installation point affects the measured impedance at the relaying point. The variation of the measured impedance for different SSSC installation points and controlling parameters would also be investigated.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87629445","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}

SEA effectively eliminates the search points within the search window and thus decreases the number of matching evaluation instances that require very intensive computations compared to the standard full search algorithm (FSA). The proposed architecture for SEA decreases the time to calculate the motion vector by 57 percent compared to FSA. The performance while applying the SEA to several standard video clips has been shown to be same compared to the standard FSA. The proposed architecture uses 16 processing elements accompanied with use of intelligent data arrangement and memory configuration. A technique for reducing external memory accesses has also been developed. The proposed architecture for SEA provides an efficient solution for applications requiring real-time motion estimations. For, it serves to compute motion vectors in less amount of time while requiring almost same power and some increase in area compared to a similar architecture for implementing the full search algorithm. A register-transfer level implementation as well as simulation results on benchmark video clips are presented. Relevant design statistics on area and power for comparing between SEA and FSA implementations are also provided.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76634352","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}

Therefore when mobility modulation is applied to the wireless sensor networks, most of the current routing algorithms suffer from performance degradation. The path breaks in mobile wireless networks are due to the movement of mobile nodes, node failure, channel fading and shadowing. It is desirable to deal with dynamic topology changes with optimal effort in terms of resource and channel utilization. As the nodes in wireless sensor medium make use of wireless broadcast to communicate, it is possible to make use of neighboring node information to recover from path failure. Cooperation among the neighboring nodes plays an important role in the context of routing among the mobile nodes. This paper proposes an enhancement to an existing protocol for accommodating node mobility through neighboring node information while keeping the utilization of resources to a minimum.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77027551","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 autonomous spacecraft should possess the self-adaptation and the self-healing capabilities, in addition to other fundamental autonomy requirements including reflex, awareness and self-regulation. The architecture is configured as stratified agent architecture with two strata. The upper stratum is concerned with the adaptive behaviour, which is achieved through an on-board mission planner. This stratum is in turn configured as hierarchical agent architecture. Hierarchical planning in a Petri net framework involves refinement of a transition in the upper layer using a Petri net model and searching for a valid plan using the reachability analysis technique. The lower stratum deals with the execution aspects and provides the reactive behaviour. It is configured with three peer level agents to achieve the reflex and the awareness properties. These agents follow a generic structure with perception, action, and communication components. The agent achieves the required autonomy capabilities by using an appropriate knowledge model. The uniqueness of the architecture is the utilisation of Petri net models, with varying degree of abstraction, in the various layers to represent the planning knowledge, diagnostic knowledge and the appropriate world model. In this paper, we present how the various capabilities for autonomy are achieved by the agent organisation by exploiting the Petri net models.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74421442","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}

Moreover, to provide end-to-end delay guarantee in such multi-hop networks a novel-scheduling algorithm, modified earliest deadline first (MEDF) has been proposed. MEDF provides fairness along with per hop delay guarantees among flows with different delay requirements. Extensive simulation and analysis of MEDF has been done.

The prototype model Receiver Stimulator for Auditory Prosthesis(RSAP) consists of High-speed Microcontroller DS89C420 based Speech Decoder, DAC, ADC, constant current stimulator, encoder, combinational circuit for channel selection, switch matrix and simulated resistance array. The laboratory model speech processor is used to implement the Continuous Interleaved Sampling (CIS) speech processing algorithm which generates the information required for stimulation based on the audio information. Speech Decoder receives the encoded speech data via RF transcutaneous from speech processor. The speech data format and generation of biphasic stimulation pulses based on the CIS stimulation strategy are covered. Multi-channel auditory Prosthesis with eight electrodes that are simulated as resistance array can be driven by the prototype auditory Prosthesis for testing its performance. The implementation aspects of CIS algorithm are validated using the test data of speech samples generated by the laboratory model Body worn speech processor.
