Energy optimization for periodic applications running on safety/time-critical time-triggered multiprocessor systems has been studied recently. An interesting feature of the applications on the systems is that some tasks are strictly periodic while ot...

A simplified Voltage Peak Detection (VPD)-based flickermeter based on spectral decomposition is proposed in this paper to detect flicker caused by high-frequency interharmonic components which effect the illumination of next-generation lamps, such as...

To realize real time object tracking in complex environments, a kernel based MIL (KMIL) algorithm is proposed. The KMIL employs the Gaussian kernel function to deal with the inner product used in the weighted MIL (WMIL) algorithm. The method avoids c...

A new modified LCLC series resonant circuit based dual-input single out-put isolated converter is proposed for hybrid energy systems. With this novel converter topology, two different voltage sources can be decoupled completely and transfer the power...

This work studies the performance of two methods for providing power to an ultra-low power, ambient backscatter tag, omitting the need for any battery. RF energy harvesting from a dedicated source and energy harvesting from ambient light using a sing...

This paper introduces three topologies of a non-isolated high gain step-up Cuk converter based on a switched-inductor (SL) and switched-capacitor (SC) techniques for renewable energy applications, such as photovoltaic and fuel cells. These kinds of C...

The full-rate linear phase detector (PD) has not only phase detection capability but also single-sided frequency detection capability intrinsically. Previously, this fact has been discovered by researching the phase and frequency characteristics of t...

This paper presents a method that uses microwaves to estimate human body orientation. The antennas are arranged to surround the human and observe vital signs such as respiration and heart beat from the microwaves reflected from the human. Since the s...

The data converters’ nonlinearity, which is mainly caused by random mismatch, reflects the performance deviation between the actual realization and an ideal situation. The interpretation of the numerical relationship between the nonlinearity and matc...

False data injection (FDI) attack is a hot topic in large-scale Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), which can cause bad state estimation of controllers. In this paper, we focus on FDI detection on transmission lines of the smart grid. We propose a novel a...
