The new network configuration is more general in that points of application of the (current) excitations are not limited. The generalized network contains multiple nullors, multiple outputs and multiple excitations. The number of excitations may be greater than, equal to, or less than the number of nullors. Four theorems are provided which describe the transfer functions obtained when the leads of any one of the nullors in a network are interchanged in terms of the transfer functions of the unmodified network. The results are applied to an example network. These theorems serve as useful tools in the design and analysis of linear, current-mode signal processing circuits.","PeriodicalId":321968,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 39th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"53 14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125713222","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 multiresolutional decomposition is of complexity O(n) and conserves the geometric image structure within each subband. A tree-structured coding scheme can efficiently exploit the inherent correlation in the subband representation. An algorithm is introduced which incorporates a fast tree-structured quantization scheme and partial search vector quantization. The algorithm described in this paper is a novel quantization thresholding scheme which uses the DWT to decompose an image into octave wide frequency bands, then quantizes the coefficients using a \"look ahead\" measurement of the image based on the low frequency sub-image inherent in the DWT. This algorithm then uses vector quantization to code the thresholded coefficients of the decomposed image. A partial search vector quantization algorithm is used to increase the speed of the quantization by using a sorted table of the energy content of the code vector. Each subband has an associated codebook which is generated using the Pairwise Nearest Neighbor (PNN) algorithm to produce an initial codebook and then uses the generalized Lloyd (GL) algorithm to arrive at a final codebook.","PeriodicalId":321968,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 39th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132317415","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}

Some related applications about these notions include analysis and synthesis of passive networks, optimal designs in control and estimation, stability investigations in linear/nonlinear closed-loops; etc.. In this paper, we propose the equations of constant matrices, which are stabilizable and detectable realizations of impulse-free generalized state-space systems, to describe the positive real and bounded real properties. The established generalized positive real lemma and generalized bounded real lemma are necessary and sufficient. They are the extensions of results by B.D.O.Anderson nd S.Vongpanitlerd (1973), in which the state-space realizations are considered. The impulse-free generalized state-space systems contain both finite and nondynamic infinite modes. The state-space systems contain finite modes only. To express those algebraic restrictions among state variables is easier in the generalized state-space.","PeriodicalId":321968,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 39th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132330071","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}
