In this paper we consider a class of process noise in navigation, and study the effects of sampling and integration rates on the covariance of the respective sampled and integrated signals. It is shown that the covariance ...

We present results from direct numerical simulations on laminar and turbulent non-canonical thermals with an initial rectangular density distribution at a Reynolds number of Re = 500 and Re = 5000, respectively. We find ...

The worldwide network domain tendency to evolve towards dynamic quality of service (QoS) enabled optical networks is imminent. In such an evolution, improving connection setup conditions is considered to be one of the major ...

The golden code (Belfiore, 2005) is a 2 x 2 space-time (ST) code that achieves the best known performance with all constellations carved from Zopf[i]. On the other hand, impulse radio (IR) time-hopping (TH) ultra wideband ...

Vibration reduction in harmonically forced undamped systems is considered using a new vibration absorber setup. The vibration absorber is a platform that is connected to the ground by a spring and damper. The primary system ...

A recursive optimal algorithm, based on minimizing the input error covariance matrix, is derived to generate the optimal forgetting matrix and the learning gain matrix of a P-type iterative learning control (ILC) for linear ...

The contemporary problem of scheduling the recharge operations of electric vehicles (EVs) has gained a lot of research attention. This is particularly true given the governmental and industrial confidence in a bright future ...

Significant research efforts are considered in the automotive industry on the use of low-carbon fuels in order to reduce the emissions and improve the fuel economy of vehicles. Some of these fuels, such as the solid fuels ...

Battery electric buses (BEB) are being recognized as a promising solution to replace diesel bus fleets. However, this technology is still subject to many challenges, namely the limited driving range and high total cost of ...

One of the three central synthesis tasks in a typical high-level synthesis system is binding which assigns operations to functional units, values to storage units, and interconnects these components with wires and buses ...
