Two‐dimensional guidelines for measurement system indices

In this paper, we review two common measurement system indices and a common process capability index. With some simple plots, it will be shown that the traditional guidelines for these measurement system indices can often misdirect improvement efforts. By taking advantage of the relationship between the measurement system indices and the process capability index, two‐dimensional guidelines that can be used as an alternative to the traditional guidelines are developed. These two‐dimensional guidelines are intended to help address adequacy of the measurement system and better direct improvement efforts to where there will be the most benefit.

Power loss minimization considering short‐circuit capacity in distribution system with decentralized distributed generation

In the future, a large number of distributed generators are expected to be connected to the distribution system. However, with the connected capacity of distributed generation (DG) increasing, the problems of short‐circuit capacity (SCC) over the interrupting capacity of the circuit breaker (CB) and power loss increases due to reverse power flow from DG are inevitable. In this paper, a reconfiguration methodology based on an optimal algorithm is applied to the distribution system with DG to minimize power loss, taking into account the SCC. Moreover, in order to further reduce the loss, the daily load variation is also considered and the optimal model decided by calculations. Finally, to illustrate its application, the methodology is applied to a case study of a 33‐bus system with decentralized DG units. The results show that this method is obviously able to reduce power loss and make the network operate in the optimal mode with normal load variation, at the same time decreasing the SCC within the interrupting maximum of the faulty CB. Moreover, the whole voltage profile is also improved. © 2012 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Maximum oscillation frequencies and ft sensitivities of two groups of single-VFOA active-RC oscillators

Two groups of three active-RC oscillators that use a single voltage feedback op amp (VFOA) are compared. Linear analysis using a first-order VFOA model shows that all six oscillators have the same maximum oscillation frequency (OF) of 16.67% of the op amp gain-bandwidth product (GBP), despite the fact that based on an ideal VFOA the gain required in the oscillator amplifier section is 3 for one group and 1.5 for the other.Sensitivity of OF to op amp GBP is found to be the same for both groups. Simulation results using a nonlinear VFOA macromodel give good agreement with linear analysis.     

Hyperspectral image super-resolution combining with deep learning and spectral unmixing

In recent years, hyperspectral image super-resolution has attracted the attention of many researchers and has become a hot topic in the field of computer vision. However, it is difficult to obtain high-resolution images due to imaging hardware devices. At present, many existing hyperspectral image super-resolution methods have not achieved good results. In this paper, we propose a hyperspectral image super-resolution method combining with deep residual convolutional neural network (DRCNN) and spectral unmixing. Firstly, the spatial resolution of the image is enhanced by learning a priori knowledge of natural images. The DRCNN reconstructs high spatial resolution hyperspectral images by concatenating multiple residual blocks, each containing two convolutional layers. Secondly, the spectral features of low-resolution and high-resolution hyperspectral images are linked by spectral unmixing. This approach aims to obtain the endmember matrix and the abundance matrix. The final reconstruction result is obtained by multiplying the endmember matrix and the abundance matrix. In addition, in order to improve the visual effect of the reconstructed image, the total variation regularity is used to impose constraints on the abundance matrix to enhance the relationship between the pixels. The experimental results of remote sensing data based on ground facts show that the proposed method has good performance and preserves spatial information and spectral information without the need for auxiliary images.

Designing soft-edge flip-flop-based linear pipelines operating in multiple supply voltage regimes

Soft-edge flip-flop (SEFF) based pipelines can improve the performance and energy efficiency of circuits operating in the super-threshold (supply voltage) regime by enabling the opportunistic time borrowing. The application of this technique to the near-threshold regime of operation, however, faces a significant challenge due to large circuit parameter variations that result from manufacturing process imperfections. In particular, delay lines in SEFFs have to be over-designed to provide larger transparency windows to overcome the variation in path delays, which causes them to consume more power. To address this issue, this paper presents a novel way of designing delay lines in SEFFs to have a large enough transparency window size and low power consumption. Two types of linear pipeline design problems using the SEFFs are formulated and solved: (1) designing energy-delay optimal pipelines for the general usage that requires SEFFs to operate in both the near-threshold and super-threshold regimes, and (2) designing minimum energy consumed pipelines for particular use case with a minimum operating frequency constraint. Design methods are presented to derive requisite pipeline design parameters (i.e., depth and sizing of delay lines in SEFFs) and operating conditions (i.e., supply voltage and operating frequency of the design) in presence of process-induced variations. HSPICE simulation results using ISCAS benchmarks demonstrate the efficacy of the presented design methods.
