This paper proposes a method for optimal placement of phasor measurement units (PMUs) for measuring the states of a power system. A method to compute the measurement uncertainty associated with the estimated states is also illustrated in the paper. The PMU placement strategy ensures complete observability of the power system states for normal operating conditions, as well as under the loss of a single transmission line or even a single measurement unit. An integer quadratic programming approach is used to minimize the total number of PMUs required to make the system completely observable, and to maximize the measurement redundancy at the power system busses. The goal of the research is to take into account the measurement uncertainty while determining the optimal number and locations of the PMUs for state estimation. Simulation results on the IEEE 14-bus test system are presented in this paper.

This work presents the development of a local positioning system (LPS), based on the transmission of ultrasonic signals, which have been previously encoded by loosely synchronous (LS) codes. The LPS consists of several ultrasonic emitters located at known positions in the environment, and of a portable receiver that computes its position by measuring the differences in times of arrival (DTOA) between a reference emitter and the others. LS codes exhibit an interference free window (IFW) in the auto-correlation and cross-correlation functions. Therefore, if the relative time-offset of the codes are within the IFW, it is possible to have simultaneous emissions without interference, as well as to reduce the multipath effect.

The detection of gaussian signals with unknown correlation coefficient, rhos, is considered. A strategy for designing mixture of experts in composite hypothesis test is proposed. It is based on designing a single multi-layer perceptron (MLP) trained with rhos varying uniformly in [0,1] to approximate the average likelihood ratio (ALR), and evaluate it for fixed values of rhos, so as to identify different variation subintervals of rhos, attending to the single MLP performance. Taking into consideration the relation that exists between MLP structure and the boundaries it is capable to built, we propose to train different MLPs with different sizes for each subinterval (MLP1 and MLP2, for the lower and higher half, respectively) for improving detection capabilities controlling computational cost. To improve the approximation implemented by MLP1, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) trained for the lower subinterval of ps has been combined with MLP2. As the functions approximated by the RBFNN and the MLP are equivalent but different, a combination strategy has been proposed based on thresholding the networks outputs and applying them to an OR logic function. Although this scheme does not outperform the 2MLPs, the reduction in computation cost is very important.

During operation of present fusion devices, the plasma facing components (PFCs) are submitted to large heat fluxes within a range of 10-20 MW/m2. Understanding and preventing overheating of these components during long pulse discharges is a crucial issue. The surface temperature of the PFCs in the inner chamber of a tokamak is measured by infrared (IR) cameras interfaced with complex optical systems. Due to the complexity of the observed IR scenes and the large amount of data produced, a computer-aided analysis of infrared images will be a key point for ITER, the next fusion device for both real-time applications and deferred-time analysis. This paper describes the current state of IR image analysis based on region of interest (ROI) approach at Tore Supra with an extrapolation to the future ITER tokamak.

Condition monitoring and diagnosis of industrial systems avoids unexpected failures and greatly improves system reliability and maintainability. Advances in wireless communication, microelectronics, digital electronics and highly integrated electronics in addition to the increasingly need for more efficient controlled electric systems, makes the development of monitoring and supervisory control tools object of study of many researchers. This paper proposes a digital system for energy usage evaluation, condition monitoring, diagnosis and supervisory control for electric systems applying wireless sensor networks (WSNs) connected to a wired infrastructure. The system is based on two hardware topologies responsible for the signal acquisition, processing and transmission: Intelligent Sensors Modules (ISMs) and Remote Data Acquisition Units (RDAUs). The gateway function of the wired network is carried out by Remote Servers (RSs) based on the AMD-Soekris NET4521 architecture, responsible for receiving the data collected and transmitting it to the Supervisory Controller (SCs) based on a PC Pentium IV architecture. The basic characteristics of the presented system are: (a) easy implementation, (b) low cost implementation, (c) easy implementation of redundant routines (security), and (d) portability/versatility.

In this paper, an efficient hardware-software architecture is proposed to cope with the implementation of an automatic fingerprint recognition system. A flexible field programmable gate array (FPGA) device lets develop the image processing application so that the same logic substrate is reconfigured and reused by several custom coprocessors during the different operation stages of the sequential biometric algorithm. The results reached with this technology reveal that a middle-range reconfigurable FPGA faces both real-time and parallel compute-intensive demands of the fingerprint image enhancement process.

The goal of this paper is to develop a method for estimating the 2D trajectory of a road vehicle using visual odometry. To do so, the ego-motion of the vehicle relative to the road is computed using a stereo-vision system mounted next to the rear view mirror. Feature points are computed using Harris detector. After that, features are matched between pairs of frames and linked into 2D trajectories. A photogrametric approach is proposed to solve the non-linear equations using a least-squared approximation. The purpose is to merge trajectory information provided by the visual odometry system with information provided by other sensors, such as GPS, in order to produce really accurate measurements of vehicle position. Providing assistance to drivers is among the prime applications of the proposed method. Nonetheless, other applications such as autonomous robot or vehicle navigation are also considered. The proposed method has been tested in real traffic conditions without using prior knowledge about the scene nor the vehicle motion. We provide examples of estimated vehicle trajectories using the proposed method and discuss the key issues for further improvement.

This paper presents a software implementation of a user adaptive fuzzy control system for autonomous navigation in mobile robots for unknown environments. This system has been tested in a pioneer mobile robot and on a robotic wheelchair, fitted with PLS laser sensor to detect the obstacles and odometry sensors for localization of robots and the goal positions. The system is able to drive the robots to their goal position avoiding static and dynamic obstacles, without using any pre-built map. Our approach learn from user behaviors in the way it can resolve different situations against obstacles or walls.We propose and implement two updates for the fuzzy system. For the implementation of the learning algorithm we use a weighting scheme giving a value for each fuzzy-rule, this value is based on the synapse-weight idea and represent the contribution of each rule in the system output. We also create of a more important sector in the definition of the fuzzy-variables, based on a statistics system that measure the uses of all the sets of the variables in order to contract the size of the rule-base.

In this paper, optical configurations based on ring resonators (RR) with an internal Sagnac (SG) loop in the feedback path, are analyzed in terms of their amplitude response and dispersive properties for filtering and chromatic dispersion managing in digital transmission systems over amplified single- mode fiber (SMF) spans in DWDM backbone networks. Design issues for the architecture as regards quadratic dispersion and magnitude distortion are provided. The RR+SG compound filter provides frequency tunability of the amplitude and dispersion peaks by adjusting a coupling coefficient of an optical coupler, with no need for using integrated thermo-optic nor current- injection based phase shifters. The configuration can be employed as an additional structure for a general RR-based design and synthesis architecture, allowing bandwidth increase of dispersion compensators and flexibility. The performance of a compound filter consisting of a two RR in series stage and a RR+SG filter are reported as a more compact and effective solution for existing multi-channel SMF backbone links operating at high bit rates. Design guidelines of an integrated ring resonator based on polymer technology for showing feasibility of the proposal is reported.
