Mechanical failure modes leading to cracks or breeches in proton exchange membrane fuel cells are driven by mechanical forces associated with swelling from water uptake and shrinkage from dehumidification. To determine the magnitude of compressive mechanical stress imposed by water swelling in a pro...

Synthesis of ultra-wideband (UWB) linear frequency modulation radar signals is a very important technology for microwave imaging, target identification and detection of low radar-cross-section (RCS) targets. A new method of UWB radar signals generation with two-channel signal generator is presented....

This paper presents the developments of sensorless control of interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) for last 10 years, which could be divided into the past and the present for each 5 years. Several popular methods developed for last 10 years would be described and evaluated, and the ...

While remote zone 3 protection relays are essential to power systems, their false trips are also one of main causes related to cascading blackouts. Although many methods have been developed on traditional power systems to address this issue, the past cascading failure events showed the ineffectivene...

The improved ERICA algorithm for ABR flow congestion control is presented based on available bandwidth prediction using the BP neural networks in ATM networks. The switch periodically calculates the available bandwidth, monitors the load of network and updates the ER value according to the PERICA al...
