Among various batteries technologies the Li-Ion batteries are widely used. It is mainly because of their compactness, longer life and high power capacity. On the other hand, due to the disadvantage of Li-ion batteries being expensive, their use is monitored using battery management systems (BMSs) to optimize their performance and ensure they last longer. The extensive processing resources that modern BMSs need can result in higher overhead power consumption. This study focuses on upgrading the present Li-ion BMSs through redesigning their associative data acquisition and processing chains differently. It aims at enhancing the data acquisition and estimation mechanisms for the Li-ion batteries' capacities. It utilizes a novel event-driven mechanism for extracting the intended Li-Ion cell parameters. The event-driven approach brings notable compression gain compared to fix-rate conventional counterparts. The mined attributes are onward conveyed to the robust machine learning algorithms for prediction. The 5-fold cross-validation approach is used for prediction performance evaluation. The achieved correlation coefficient and minimum Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) are respectively 0.9996, 0.0038 and 0.0054 respectively. It shows the feasibility of incorporating the proposed approach in contemporary BMSs.","PeriodicalId":291826,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Event-Based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133891202","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}

However, in a distributed setting, their sub-linear convergence rates tend to attract a large number of information exchanges that raise the overall communication burden. In order to reduce this burden, in this paper, we design two static stochastic event-based broadcasting protocols that operate in conjunction with SSAs to address a set-constrained distributed optimization problem (DOP). We address two notions of stochastic convergence, namely, almost sure and mean convergence; for each of these notions we design event-based broadcasting protocols, specifically, the stochastic event-thresholds. Subsequently, we illustrate the design via a numerical example and provide comparisons to evaluate its performance against the existing event-based protocols.","PeriodicalId":291826,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Event-Based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130285793","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 paper, we propose a hardware technique to detect and correct bubbles up to the length of the pulse width while preserving position information using a hybrid between the ones-encoder and a single stage of a modified insertion sort.

The main objective in the vehicular platoons is to ensure that all follower vehicles are traveling at the same speed as the leader while maintaining a desired inter-vehicular distance with considering the minimum communication resource usage. To achieve the object, a novel distributed event-triggered communication strategy based on the estimation and prediction of self-states and other agents’ states in each vehicle is proposed which includes two parallel algorithms. The first one is based on comparing the state estimation and prediction of the vehicle itself, and the second one is based on comparing the state estimation and prediction of other vehicles which have interaction in their process with the active vehicle. Collision avoidance, speed convergence, and limited communication resource usage of each vehicle are simultaneously considered in the design of the event-triggered mechanism in a harsh packet drops environment. Numerical simulations are presented to show that the proposed event triggering algorithm under three scenarios of burst packet drops can converge the consensus problem of vehicular platooning.","PeriodicalId":291826,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Event-Based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129730213","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 proposed architecture introduces a double-sampling stage that takes advantage of the delay introduced by the routing between the combinatorial stage and the sampling stage. Compared to similar gray code oscillator architectures, this work significantly improves resolution and precision while maintaining good linearity and low resource utilization. Due to its portability and scalability, multiple TDC channels may be implemented by replicating a channel’s placement and routing, avoiding the need for calibration methods, consequently saving resources and power. A ROS interface allows the IP to be easily integrated with other systems requiring precise and high-resolution ToF measurement. The tests performed simulating a point cloud with 36000 points showed, in the worst-case scenario, a system performance with an average of 10.32 FPS. A Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC was used for the TDC architecture implementation, achieving a 69 ps RMS resolution and a 59 ps single-shot precision with only 7 LUTs and 20 flip-flops.

In this framework, vital aspects are a precise understanding as a first step can be followed by a real-time treatment of the PQ disturbances in the future later on. The PQ signals are acquired by using the event-driven A/D converters (EDADCs). The acquired signal is segmented by using novel event-driven signal selection technique. Afterwards, the segmented signal pertinent features are extracted by using an effective adaptive rate time-domain analysis approach. These features are passed to the robust machine-learning based classifiers to realize an automated identification of the PQ disturbances.

However, these devices are often sensitive to changes in temperature due to temperature-dependent changes in electrical characteristics (Process-Voltage-Temperature, PVT variations), and thus must be characterised to avoid erroneous measurements.

Being conceived to describe pulsatile endocrine regulation, it has also found applications in e.g. pharmacokinetics. The original version of the IGO assumes the continuous part of the model to be a chain of first-order blocks. This paper explores the nonlinear phenomena arising due to the introduction of a local continuous feedback as suggested by the endocrine applications. The effects caused by a nonlinear feedback law parameterized by a Hill function are compared to those arising due to a simpler and previously treated case of affine feedback law. The hybrid dynamics of the IGO are reduced to a (discrete) Poincaré map governing the propagation of the model’s continuous states through the firing instants of the impulsive feedback. Bifurcation analysis of the map reveals in particular that both the local Hill function and affine feedback can lead to multistability, which phenomenon has not been observed in the usual IGO model.","PeriodicalId":291826,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Conference on Event-Based Control, Communication, and Signal Processing (EBCCSP)","volume":"47 16","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120882607","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}
