The MDLL output frequency is adjustable in the range from 250 to 800 MHz, with fixed input reference of 50 MHz and multiplication factor within 5 –16. The influence of MDLL’s transfer function change on the phase noise (PN) and reference spur performances was investigated. In the first mode, the voltage-controlled oscillator’s (VCO’s) output signal is fed directly to the phase-frequency detector (PFD). By contrast, the frequency of the output signal in the second mode is first divided and then fed to the PFD input. The pros and cons of both modes are discussed alongside with possible improvements. The MDLL is designed in a commercially available 130-nm BiCMOS process technology. At 800-MHz carrier frequency, the MDLL achieves PN of -114.87 and -127.68 dBc/Hz at 10-kHz and 1-MHz offset frequencies, respectively.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132987997","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}

Synchronous appearance of spikes in different layers of somatosensory cortex during the seizures is the most important indication of the recorded data because the data were recorded locally. In fact, when one spike appears during the seizures, we can consider a spike matrix comprising the spikes recorded from different layers of somatosensory cortex. We describe these spike matrices by a spatio-temporal model. Then, we estimate the model parameters using a factor analysis method. Experimental results show that there are two factors which randomly combine with a background factor and generate the spike matrices of absence seizures. Moreover, it is shown that the spike matrices originate from the bottom and the top layers of somatosensory cortex. We also propose a validation framework to show the generality of the obtained spatio-temporal analysis in different absence seizures.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134480234","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 approach is based on the division of the life- cycle into time slices with reference to the pre-emergency, emergency, restored and predicted states. Working capability restoration of the CPS is executed with respect to extremely critical and critical equipment. Constructed state graphs of the cybernetic component and the physical component are introduced. Designed differential equations link the probability of return to a working state with intensities of failures and various types restorations. Under the known initial conditions of the probabilities for corresponding states the solution of appropriate ordinary differential equations allows a clear graphical interpretation in the time domain, which shows the changes in the probability of the system components transition from one state to another by time slices of the CPS life-cycle. The developed diagram of decision-making on restoration or replacement of the corresponding component allows to make the reasonable choice of the actions option aimed on working capability restoration. An algorithm for the method implementation is developed and tested via execution of the numerical example related with Automated Parking system as a typical representative of the CPS-systems variety.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114465589","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 sensor evaluates ultrasonic signals backscattered from the obstacle by task specific signal analysis methods. It consists of an ultrasonic transducer, an embedded system for transducer control and signal acquisition as well as a computer for signal analysis and feature extraction. Unlike Radar systems this pedestrian detection approach is also able to detect non-moving persons and even children.","PeriodicalId":232097,"journal":{"name":"IEEE EUROCON 2019 -18th International Conference on Smart Technologies","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116457879","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}
