The development of renewable energy sources is because of high usage of DC because the generated power is directed to the main grid for conversion into electric power and the source of energy cannot tolerate high voltage. Fault detection is a major problem that arises when an excess amount of current flows in the circuit leading to the necessity of having circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are made of light materials, which creates a problem for dealing with high voltage DC applications with the protection of circuit breakers have become popularized, and different papers have outlined various studies on the effectiveness of Solid State Circuit Breakers (SSCBs) protection for a direct current microgrid.

Three new batteries with different capacities: 55mAh, 550mAh and 5500mAh were considered in this study. The results show that an increase in the battery capacity increases the two-node wireless sensor system operation time.

The first approach reduces the number of logic gates by applying Boolean Algebra rules and simplifications, while the second approach removes the redundant logic gates which form the S7 and S9 blocks ciphers. The first approach reduced the dynamic power dissipation and the silicon area by 21.7%, 25.3%, respectively, while the throughput enhanced by 21.1%.

Various proposals adopted trust management as an alternative solution for it is less costly in terms of computation delay and mobility adaptation, compared to the cryptography-based solutions. However, the existing solutions assume that in general the attackers have always a dishonest behavior that persists over time. This assumption may be misleading, as the attackers can behave intelligently to avoid being detected. In this paper we propose a new solution for the detection of intelligent malicious behaviors based on the adaptive detection threshold. In addition to the detection of malicious nodes, our solution incite attackers to behave well since any malicious behavior will be immediately detected thanks to the adaptive detection threshold. We present simulations results which show the high efficiency of our proposal at ensuring high ratios for both detection and packet delivery.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134224001","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}

In this method; the dimensions (area) and power (DC current bias) are scalable to match the RF design specifications. Many parameters are used to optimize the design results. The frequency scaling up nonlinearity is minimized with the trimming technique. The proposed method is firstly based on designing with low frequency corner specifications to avoid the parasitic effects, and then, the scaling process is starting. The ACM MOST is useful in analog CMOS circuit design. In this model, the current inversion coefficient is used as the design key. A set of simplest expressions allows quick design analytically as well as an evaluation of the design in terms of power consumption or silicon real state. The methodology has been implemented using MATLAB program and proved to be very practical and promising. A set of RF CMOS cascode amplifiers designs demonstrate the reliability of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134446199","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}

These metamaterials provide the waveguide the ability to support the propagation of the backward wave below the cutoff frequency.
