Factors affecting the speed and accuracy of MOS switches are fully considered, and a charge pump with MOS switches working in linear region is designed, avoiding the problem of threshold voltage drop. By single positive power supply, a non-overlapping clock is generated skillfully by changing switching threshold voltage of the inverters, to drive the MOS switches correctly with positive and negative voltage. The simulation results based on CMOS 0.35 mum technology show that, at 1 MHz refresh frequency, the circuit converts +1.5 V to -1.5 V, with error less than 0.2%, and setup time less than 20 mus. Besides, the circuit is less limited by the supply voltage and refresh frequency, and is not sensitive to the variations of process.","PeriodicalId":344917,"journal":{"name":"APCCAS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121999925","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}

We propose two GPU-based methods to efficient generate content-aware spatial diffused images. In the first method, we apply an enhanced bilateral filter on the input image. Our filter adopts a spatial weight kernel in the form of an inverted Gaussian. This inverted-Gaussian-spatial bilateral filter (IGSB) can remove small spots in large smooth areas more efficiently than Gaussian bilateral filter that are commonly used. In the second method, we present a fast approximation of mean-shift algorithm on GPUs. Considering the parallel nature of GPUs, the process of mean-shift kernel density estimation is modified and improved to achieve satisfied color image diffusion effects.","PeriodicalId":344917,"journal":{"name":"APCCAS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122112585","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}

Even after the opening of breakers in the two sides of the fault line, an induced current still exists in the arc because of the electrostatic and the electromagnetic coupling from the other two sound phases. Along with the enhancement of the voltage grade, the influence of the secondary arc becomes more and more, and may probably lead to the failure of the reclosing if the secondary arc is not extinguished promptly. In this paper, the dynamic secondary arc model (including recovery voltage and the secondary arc current) in single-phase asymmetric breaking is established based on the distribution parameters of EHV long-line. The method of twice-mode transformation is adopted to calculate the steady-state value of the secondary arc current and recovery voltage. Furthermore, the affects of different overhead line models on the secondary arc current are also analyzed through the real time digital simulation.","PeriodicalId":344917,"journal":{"name":"APCCAS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128746157","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}

Ad-hoc and multi-hop WSNs are commonly used in many applications; therefore, maintaining stability of WSN is an essential issue in present days. However, node failures are not exceptions in WSN. Many factors may cause sensor nodes to fail, such as energy exhaustion, out of communication range, or node module damage. These damages are usual incidents in practical WSN applications. Except node module damages that we are unable to look after, we propose an energy-efficient routing algorithm to prolong the lifetime of nodes in WSN. Another feature of the proposed algorithm is that each node routes network packets independently throughout the entire WSN. It makes that algorithm to provide autonomic management of the links in WSN.","PeriodicalId":344917,"journal":{"name":"APCCAS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127016100","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}
