The design of special arithmetic operations differs in many ways from the traditional tasks that digital designers are used to, and the role of parameterizability and mapping of mathematical algorithms onto digital hardware is discussed. Certain real-world applications requiring the use of the square-root operator are presented, and it is argued that implementing special arithmetic operations directly in hardware offers significant speed advantages over the conventional approach of implementing them in software. The mathematical algorithm of the square-root operator is described, and its applicability to an implementation in digital logic is presented. It also is shown that the square-root operator can be efficiently implemented without the need to resort to multiplications or divisions, which is advantageous in terms of both area and timing.","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

The algorithm is based on the maximum generated power as an indication to determine the maximum wind speed direction. Few program instructions are added to the controller program to implement the Hill Climbing Control for maximum power from either the load current and wind direction. The microcontroller uses the same voltage and current data as the load control. The power variation determines the turbine yaw motor action (direction of rotation and time of turn on) for an optimum output power. In order to evaluate the control performance, several test cases were analysed for discussion in this paper.","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

By using the Jacobian elliptic functions sn(u,m) and cn(u,m) as basis functions in place of the trigonometric sine and cosine, one can obtain a generalized transform which includes the Fourier transform as a special case, viz. m=0, where m, the squared modulus of elliptic function theory, can have any positive value less than 1, and hence the new transform is extremely flexible. It is found that the associated inverse transform consists of basis functions whose appearance can be described as a set of dithered trigonometric functions. The dithering level increases in a monotonic fashion with the parameter m. The latter can be described as a new universal discrete non-linear basis set. The universality derives from the fact that, for the same precision of computer computation (e.g. 12 digits), identical values are obtained independent of the machine used. The new set has as selectable parameters both the number of samples per period and the squared modulus 'm' (0<m<1). This same generalization technique can also be applied to the fractional Fourier transform - itself a generalization of the Fourier transform with a real or complex parameter (alpha). This, in turn, means that the number of possible unique universal waveform patterns is immense. An estimate is /spl sim/2/sup 151/ different waveforms if one assumes data lengths up to 1024 and 'm' in double precision. Sample applications of this non-linear function set in signal processing are presented.","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

The circuit uses an arrangement of split-drain MOS transistors operating in the saturation region to produce an output difference current that is proportional to (B/spl times/e). If the external voltage e is a fraction of the mains voltage and B is produced by the corresponding current, the output signal is a measure of the instantaneous power. Measurements of a test circuit, which was built with discrete transistors fabricated in CMOS 0.8 /spl mu/m technology, have shown that a monolithic mixed-signal solution for single phase power consumption metering based on this concept is technically feasible.","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

The weighted codes are chosen such that the entropy of the resulting binary source multiplied by the code length is made as close as possible to that of the original non-binary source. It is found that a large saving in complexity, execution time, and memory size is achieved when the commonly-used source encoding algorithms are applied to the n/sup th/ order extension of the resulting binary source. This saving is due to the large reduction in the number of symbols in the alphabet of the new extended binary source. As an example to validate the effectiveness of this approach, text compression using Huffman encoder applied to the n/sup th/ order extended binary source is studied. It is found that the bit-wise Huffman encoder of the 4th-order extended binary source (16 symbols) achieves compression efficiency close to that of the conventional Huffman encoder (256 symbols).","PeriodicalId":301003,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 Third IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.
