The compressed video is transmitted over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. We propose to combine error control coding with error concealment. Specifically we use classical error detection to locate errors in the compressed domain, translate this information to the uncompressed domain and then use standard error concealment in the error locations. The solving of the error location problem in this way is the main contribution of this work.","PeriodicalId":359446,"journal":{"name":"CCECE '97.

The characteristics of the expected signal classes are stored in the form of histograms that record the frequencies of all possible amplitude changes and phase changes of subsequent symbols. The histogram of a received signal of unknown class is cross-correlated with all the stored histograms. The resulting scores are combined using a discriminant function to yield a classification decision. The new QAM discrimination method may offer several advantages over existing methods due to the fact that the classification decisions are based on a large number of symbol to symbol changes. Specifically, the relative nature of the symbol to symbol measurements and the finite bin sizes used in the histograms make the proposed method substantially immune to receiver errors related to carrier recovery, symbol timing recovery, channel equalization, and channel noise.","PeriodicalId":359446,"journal":{"name":"CCECE '97.

The theoretical analysis of the saturation of three-phase transformers in the presence of direct current is based on the study of their magnetic circuit. The principle of duality was applied to obtain equivalent electric circuits simulated using the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) and validated using experimental results.","PeriodicalId":359446,"journal":{"name":"CCECE '97.

The purpose of the identification stage is to ascertain the techniques(s) that appear to hold more promise for adequately describing a given data set. The paper presents an algorithmic procedure for selecting and constructing the most appropriate electric load forecasting model. From this review, it is clear that models for the selection and construction criteria are essential for a proper forecasting model.","PeriodicalId":359446,"journal":{"name":"CCECE '97.

Variable series capacitor (VSrC) for power system stabilization control is a typical application. For effective control of VSrC, the optimal control theory has been applied. However, H/sup /spl infin// control theory is expected to be more robust than the optimal control, because there are uncertain parameter changes and various disturbances in power systems. In this paper, the authors apply H/sup /spl infin// control theory to the power system stabilization control including the characteristics of conventional equipment such as AVR and governor. VSrC equipment is integrated into the power system stabilization control and its effect of enhancing stabilization was investigated. Numerical analyses have been done on a power system model to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. Encouraging results have been obtained for H/sup /spl infin// control of VSrC through the simulation.","PeriodicalId":359446,"journal":{"name":"CCECE '97.
