In this approach, in order to improve the performance of proposed method a special symmetric matrix is proposed. In receiver, the secret image is extracted from cover image by using secret key. The main privilege of the proposed method is high capacity and security. In the proposed method as another advantage the cover image is not changed.

These steps are implemented by an inexpensive AVR microcontroller chip. An asymmetric bridge converter is used to excite the winding of the motor phases. The presented sensorless board is then constructed and tested on two SRMs which are three-phase 12 by 8 and three-phase 6 by 4 SRMs. The parameters of these motors which are required in sensorless techniques are obtained by Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis.

Having autonomous agents capable of learning its previously unknown teammates' preferences and acting in harmony with them to achieve the system's end has been declared as a challenge to the AI. An agent capable of ad hoc teamwork is one that can effectively cooperate with multiple potential teammates on a set of collaborative tasks. This agent has to learn other agents' behaviours and preferences in order to be able to predict their actions on some level. This paper presents an empirical study of ad hoc teamwork, taking advantage of Observer System's merits. Specifically, we evaluate a learning mechanism for on-line behaviour generation on the part of a single ad hoc team agent that must collaborate with other unknown teammates in the pursuit domain.","PeriodicalId":383315,"journal":{"name":"2013 21st Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"s3-44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130200376","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}

This inverter has been derived from quasi Z-source inverter recently. Trans Z-source network consists of one transformer and one capacitor. While maintaining all prominent features of previous Z-source inverters, Trans Z-source inverter has several unique advantages such as increased voltage gain, reduced voltage stress and reduced components of impedance network. Due to these features, using trans Z-source inverter as a single stage converter in photovoltaic systems gives satisfactory results. In this paper the application of trans-ZSI in photovoltaic systems in both stand alone mode and grid connected mode has been investigated. By using the dynamic model of trans ZSI, the proper controllers for both stand alone mode and grid connected mode is designed. By controlling the shoot through duty ratio and modulation index, output voltage control has been performed in stand alone mode. Maximum power delivering and unity power factor is achieved through the use of controller in grid connected mode. Simulation results are presented to verify the ability of proposed system.","PeriodicalId":383315,"journal":{"name":"2013 21st Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134527369","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 main advantage of this controller is improving closed loop performance while maintaining stability in the presence of unknown actuator faults. This method does not rely on certainty equivalence principle so it can be used to control the transient response of overall closed loop system by means of controlling the parameter estimation behavior which is not possible in traditional adaptive control.
