Controller for digital audio power amplifier with bit stream input

A new controller for a digital audio amplifier with bit stream input is proposed. The proposed controller has excellent features such as wide error correction range and no limitation on the modulation index. The controller is implemented in the half-bridge class-D amplifier and performance is verified through experiments.     

Congestion pricing of multi-modal transportation systems

This paper deals with the pricing and investment decision problem of multi-modal transportation systems in which the congestion is a significant factor in the assessment of system costs. This study approaches this congestion pricing problem with a number of social welfare maximization problems, all of which have the identical structure except financial constraints. One welfare maximization problem examined in this study yields the pricing and investment decision, which can attain the first-best social optimality for multi-modal transportation systems. Other welfare maximization problems show he second-best optimal solutions that can address two policy questions in transportation economics, namely, the cross-subsidy between competing modes and peak-period congestion charges on a single highway link.

Recursive solution of inverse natural convection problems by means of mode reduction

 A recursive method based on the Kalman filtering is developed to solve inverse natural convection problems of estimating the unsteady nonuniform wall heat flux from temperature measurements in the flow. By employing the Karhunen–Loève Galerkin procedure that reduces the Boussinesq equation to a small set of ordinary differential equations, the computational difficulties associated with the Kalman filtering for the partial differential equations are overcome. The present method is assessed through several numerical experiments, and is found to yield satisfactory results. Received 20 January 2001 / Accepted 31 May 2001     

An annular slot antenna on a dielectric half-space

The radiation properties of both singly and multiply fed annular slot antennas on a dielectric/air interface have been analyzed using Galerkin's method applied in the Hankel transform domain. The validity of our method has been confirmed through comparison with both theoretical and experimental results. The magic slot configuration has also been studied. The polarization diversity of this radiator makes it suitable for implementing a quasioptical balanced mixer     

An approximate method for computing performance-related reliability of gracefully degrading systems

Using existing methods, the computation of performance-related reliability (PRR) of large-scale gracefully degrading systems is very tedious and time consuming. In this paper, the behaviour of such systems is respectively modeled as two types of diffusion processes according to their reconfiguration coverage. If the coverage is 1 (i.e. the reconfiguration is always successful), it is modeled as a regular diffusion. If, on the other hand, the coverage is less than one, it is modeled as diffusion with killing. Kolmogorov backward equations for regular diffusion processes and for diffusions with killing are then applied to compute the PRR. The methods have been applied in several examples, and the results satisfactorily agree with the accurate results.
