Non-Recursive adaptive impulse noise canceller

A non-recursive adaptive impulse noise canceller (AINC) is investigated. The AINC is designed to suppress long impulsive interferences which are a primary source of errors in many communication systems. Performance of the AINC depends upon the input filter of the receiver. It is shown that the optimum input filter is LPF; the optimum LPF bandwidth exists which provides the minimum error rate of the receiver. The system error rate is studied by means of a computer simulation. Simulation results indicate that the AINC provides a very effective suppression of impulse noise. However, conditions in a real communication channel may be quite different from those chosen for simulation. Therefore, further research remains to be done before the AINC can be recommended for practical applications.     

An easy way to Pd–Zn nanoalloy with defined composition from a heterobimetallic Pd(μ–OOCMe)4Zn(OH2) complex as evidenced by XAFS and XRD

The heterobimetallic lantern complex Pd(μ-OOCMe)₄Zn(OH₂) was found to be readily reduced with H₂ under fairly mild conditions (150–250 °C, 5–10% H₂/He) both in the carbon-supported and crystalline states to afford a Pd–Zn nanoalloy as evidenced by the ICP elemental analysis, EXAFS, XANES and XRD data.      

New approach for swinging up the Furuta pendulum: Theory and experiments

The problem of swinging up inverted pendulums has often been solved by stabilizing a particular class of homoclinic structures present in the dynamics of a physical pendulum. Here, new arguments are suggested to show how other homoclinic curves can be preplanned for dynamics of the passive-link of the robot. This is done by reparameterizing the motions according to geometrical relations among the generalized coordinates, which are known as virtual holonomic constraints. After that, conditions that guarantee the existence of periodic solutions surrounding the planned homoclinic orbits are derived. The corresponding trajectories, in contrast to homoclinic curves, admit efficient design of feedback control laws ensuring exponential orbital stabilization. The method is illustrated by simulations and supported by experimental studies on the Furuta pendulum. The implementation issues are discussed in detail.

Direct <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">d</Emphasis>-Glucose Oxidation over Noble Metal Nanoparticles Introduced on Polymer and Inorganic Supports

In the present work, nanocatalysts prepared on inorganic supports (zeolites) were investigated in d-glucose oxidation and compared to systems supported on polymer (hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HPS)) previously described. Catalytic activities and selectivities were measured under various reaction conditions. The selectivity of d-glucose oxidation and activity of both Pd-containing zeolites and HPS-Ru were similar (99.7% and TOF 0.013–0.014 mol/(mol Me s)). Physicochemical analysis X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, liquid nitrogen physisorption, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy of adsorbed CO for metal sites evaluation, CD₃CN for acid sites evaluation showed that Pd species were in oxidic form, while Ru species were in oxidic and reduced form. The catalytic activity decreased when acidic sites were present in Pd-containing zeolites.
