The pioneering work over 50 years ago by M.I.T. faculty who wrote textbooks for the study of electrical sciences set the pattern for the study of electric circuits in the United States. Authors who developed textbooks after those early works largely followed the techniques advanced there. This paper extends the analytical procedures adopted for identifying current direction and voltage polarities in a circuit. While the M.I.T. works adopted an arrow to indicate current direction, a similar arrow symbol for voltage was not adopted. Double subscript notation identifying nodes and relative polarity was used instead. This notation has contributed to confusion of students who are learning electric circuits. A simpler designation of voltage polarity by an open-head arrow promotes a better understanding of electric circuit operation. This paper proposes the use of a closed-head arrow for current direction, and an open-head arrow for a voltage rise between nodes. In this method all voltages are rises only. All voltages can be drawn in a voltage map of a circuit, using open-head arrows to show both voltage rises from sources of emf and voltage rises across resistors caused by Ohm's law relationships. This proposed method for identifying voltages corresponds with the node voltage polarity terminology used to interpret results from computer software programs such as PSPICE. A consistent conformity with symbols in circuit analysis is an enhancement to learning for the beginning student of electric circuit analysis. The voltage map is such a learning enhancement.<>

A new procedure is presented for solving equations in the two-valued Boolean algebra. The method has the advantage of expressing a general solution using the minimum number of binary parameters. The method guarantees that the complete set of all particular solutions can be generated from this general solution by assigning each parameter a value of either 0 or 1. The technique is presented using Karnaugh maps, but could easily be implemented in software.<>

Based on the laser Doppler anemometry technique and Mie scattering theory, the visibility-particle size relationship (visibility profile) is computed for spherical particles of complex index of refraction. The analysis is restricted to the backscatter direction, for incident light that is circularly polarized. It is observed that the shape of the visibility profile is greatly influenced by the index of refraction of the particle and the optical parameters of the system. The effect that the optical parameters, such as beam angular separations (/spl Psi/), collecting aperture size (R), and off-axis collecting angle (/spl Phi//sub 0/), have on the visibility profiles is examined. It is established that the visibility technique is useful for particle sizing under limited values of the optical parameters. It is found that particle sizing is feasible for values of /spl Psi/ ranging from 9.5/spl deg/ to 1.0/spl deg/, and for values of R ranging from 4.0/spl deg/ to 14.0/spl deg/. It is observed, in many cases, that moving the collecting aperture slightly off-axis improves the quality of the visibility profile for particle sizing.<>

This paper presents a new approach to power load forecasting using artificial neural networks (ANN). Based on weather conditions and past history of load consumption, a load forecast is made by the utility companies to deliver the appropriate load to its customers. Power systems operation and planning functions such as unit commitment, security analysis, state estimation, etc. are benefited with an accurate load forecast. Improving the accuracy of the load forecast can save a significant amount of money. Artificial neural networks permit adaptability to climate changes compared to other forecasting methods in use. The results obtained by using ANN have been found to give better results than other conventional techniques.<>

This paper presents a finite-element method of numerical analysis for a system of a shielded cylindrical coupled microstrip transmission lines. The complete polynomial field of the high order element up to fourth is used in this study. The microstrip line consists of two coupled dielectric circular cylinders characterized by permittivity /spl epsiv//sub 1/ and /spl epsiv//sub 2/ and partially embedded in the ground plane. The two infinitesimally thin strips with arbitrary size are clad on the coupled dielectric circular cylinders. The coupling between the two conducting strips of the coupled microstrip line is investigated. The first and higher order elements are used in the finite-element method to calculate for the quasi-static potential and the corresponding field distribution in the microstrip line. The capacitance per unit length of the line is obtained from a variational expression and the effective dielectric constant, characteristic impedance, and phase velocity are also computed. A perturbational method is used to calculate the losses due to conductor and dielectric dissipation.<>

Considers an adaptive control algorithm for robot manipulators. The presented algorithm uses an adaptive sliding mode control law to ensure robustness. The proposed algorithms eliminate the requirement for inversion of the inertia matrix, the requirement for measurement of joint acceleration, and the requirement for calculation of a regressor. Computer simulation results show good properties of the proposed algorithm under large manipulator parameter uncertainties and disturbances.<>

Closed form results for the symbol error probabilities are derived for M-ary, L branch selection diversity system in a Nakagami fading environment using noncoherent frequency-shift keying modulation. The maximum SNR selection and the maximum output selection schemes are considered. The analysis is not limited to integer values of the Nakagami fading parameter m. Results for the Rayleigh fading channel are obtained and presented as special cases of those of the Nakagami fading model. The symbol error probability when the diversity branches undergo different fading statistics with unequal mean SNR are considered for the maximum SNR selection scheme. Outage probabilities are also calculated for the maximum SNR selection scheme.<>

Modern computer systems often are designed around a bus architecture. This, of course eliminates the need for complete point-to-point interconnection of all the devices attached to the bus. The major hurdle to this system is in resolving the conflicts that arise when more than one device wants to use the bus to communicate at a time. The job of resolving such conflicts is left to bus arbitration circuitry. A system designer using the MC68000 family is in some luck. This series of microprocessors has a limited set of lines built in to allow for external circuitry to request and receive the bus from the processor. However, having given up the bus the processor does nothing to decide who receives the bus next. This is left to external arbitration circuitry. This paper describes a VLSI chip designed to perform bus arbitration for the Motorola MC68000 series of microprocessors. With such a module, several devices (such as DMA, I/O controllers, and multiple microprocessors) can share a single bus while our device handles all bus conflicts using a priority scheme. The device is flexible, programmable, and compatible with the MC68000 family's bus architecture and their support chips.<>
