Passive Bistatic Radars (PBRs) are able to detect and track objects using reflections from foreign sources such as broadcast and/or radio communication stations. Direct path and Multipath Interference (DPI and MPI) are one of the major problems encountered in PBR systems. They are defined as signals received directly from the transmitter through the surveillance channel; which is only dedicated to receiving targets' echoes. Except their Doppler shifts, DPI, MPI and the received echoes are coherent. To filter these interferences, different adaptive techniques are considered in passive radars' literature. In this paper, we aim to evaluate the well-known adaptive filters as the Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) and the Recursive Least Square (RLS) by investigating their impact on the detection of FM (Frequency Modulation) passive radar based on a real source of signals using RTL-SDR (RTL2832U Realtek Software Defined Radio).

Congestion is a major problem for the data-processing Ethernet Networks, because it causes data loss and application failure in consequence. To this end, this kind of network needs to be suitably controlled in order to guarantee good performances. IEEE 802.1Qau standard is in progress to find an efficient congestion control mechanism, which may ensure a properly use of the available resources and avoid problems that cause this issue. In this context, several researches have contributed, however, none of them paid enough attention to resolve all issues. In this paper, we propose a new solution called IQCN as a contribution to IEEE 802.1Qau. This proposition is based on QCN Serial HAI and focuses on dealing with the congestion control encountered weaknesses. The main aim of the proposed mechanism is to provide stability and avoid/reduce data loss rate caused by congestion. To provide these purposes, IQCN used to reduce the signaling overhead cost and to predict the speed of incoming traffic to properly react face to the congestion issues. Our proposed mechanism overcomes and mitigates problems caused by congestion. Obtained simulation results using Omnet++ show that IQCN outperforms the QCN Serial HAI mechanism in terms of stability, fairness, overhead notification messages and data loss.
拥塞是数据处理以太网的一个主要问题,它会导致数据丢失和应用程序失败。为此,需要对这种网络进行适当的控制,以保证其良好的性能。IEEE 802.1Qau标准正在寻找一种有效的拥塞控制机制,以确保正确使用可用资源并避免引起拥塞问题的问题。在此背景下,一些研究做出了贡献,但没有一个研究给予足够的重视来解决所有问题。在本文中,我们提出了一个名为IQCN的新解决方案,作为对IEEE 802.1Qau的贡献。这个命题是基于QCN串行HAI,并着重于处理拥塞控制遇到的弱点。提出的机制的主要目的是提供稳定性和避免/减少拥塞造成的数据丢失率。为了实现这些目的,IQCN用于降低信令开销成本和预测传入流量的速度,以正确地应对拥塞问题。我们提出的机制克服和减轻了由交通堵塞引起的问题。利用omnet++进行的仿真结果表明,IQCN在稳定性、公平性、通知消息开销和数据丢失等方面都优于QCN Serial HAI机制。

In high performance grid-connected PV systems, deploying a power electronics converter capable of operating effectively in the presence of any single point of failure is essential. One of the main advantages of Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) Multilevel Inverter (MLI) is the modularity. Moreover, the association of a quasi Z-Source (qZS) network with a CHB MLI was deeply investigated in the last decade for grid-tied PV systems. This structure is considered as a single-stage DC/AC topology having the capability of boosting the DC input voltage with high-quality multilevel AC voltage, independent DC-link voltage compensation, and control of the power transfer with high reliability. Thus, this topology suits well fault-tolerant PV systems due to the modularity of the CHB inverter and the flexibility of the qZS network in controlling the DC-link voltage even under faults. However, the effective operation of the MLI needs a continuous monitoring to detect abnormalities and faults to provide more effective and less interrupted energy supplies. The Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) method has been proved to be among the most effective univariate techniques to detect small and moderate faults. Thus, this paper presents an effective EWMA based fault detection technique for a 3-phase 3-cell qZS-CHB MLI. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique in detecting faults compared to the conventional Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT) technique.

This paper presents a system for spoken term detection in a continuous speech stream. Spoken terms are predefined through a set of acoustic examples provided by the users. Spoken term detection proceeds in two steps: speech segmentation and term verification. We suggest the use of an acoustic-based algorithm for the segmentation which exploits acoustic particularities of the speech stream to detect word frontiers. From the segmentation stage a collection of utterances are delimited, and they are aligned with the spoken term acoustic representation. Tests were conducted on an Arabic corpus using spectral features of the signal. A correct detection rate of about 100% was reached with a false alarm of 20%.

The design of the power source in the Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicle (FCHEV) is an attractive area in transport applications. The FCHEV combines a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and an Ultra-Battery (UB). A suitable UB is deployed, in FCHEV, for a backup system using efficient energy management. The UB aims to guarantee a rapid transfer of power during transient responses and a permanent power during the absence of hydrogen. To ensure the required power, EMSs have been proposed. An efficiency band UB Partial Load State (PSoCUB) is used to evaluate the proposed design. Therefore, the reliability of our model is tested and evaluated through different results using Matlab / Simulink environment.

The varactor configuration used in this work is A-MOS. This VCO design achieves −123.201 dBc/Hz and −132.57 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz and 3 MHz offset frequencies, respectively. The VCO consumes 1.62 mW from 1.2 V supply. The calculated Figure-of-Merit (FoM) of the proposed VCO reaches −185.1 dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset.

We use the clustering to study the customers behavior. In order to validate our approach, we develop a prototype to send a personalized advertisement to loyal customers in an ubiquitous environment. Each target receives the advertising according his degree of loyalty obtained by the behavioral analysis.

This paper addresses the application of an efficient and an economical method in term of enhancing voltage stability. We propose to combine the performances of SVC (Static VAR Compensator) and TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator) to reach those of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller), the most pricey and polyvalent FACTS device (Flexible AC Transmission Systems). In this way, we assure stable power system operation while avoiding costly investments. For the placement of the proposed FACTS, we opt for applying a simple heuristic method. This would provide firm bases for the comparison. The investigation of the proposed idea and the comparative studies are performed in the IEEE 14-Bus system under EUROSTAG environment.
