Subband image coding using filter banks with non-uniform passband distribution
2002
Subband filter banks with non-uniform passband distribution in frequency domain are studied. Several design examples are presented and compared with conventional uniform bandwidth filter banks. Image coding results show that filter banks with non-uniform bandwidth outperform filter banks with uniform bandwidth, especially in low bit rate coding.
Modal and Structural FEM Analysis of a 50 ft Pleasure Yacht
2012
In this paper a structural Finite Element analysis of a 50 ft pleasure vessel is presented. The study is performed under different loads conditions: modal analyses have been done in order to find the natural frequencies of the vessel, structural analyses to verify the strength of the vessel to design loads. The design loads for the vessel considered are computed according to RINA rules for the construction and classification of pleasure vessels [1]. Two different composites are used for the lamination: one is a monolithic sequence of short fibre and balanced glass lamina, used for the bottom of the vessel and for structural reinforcements, the other is a sandwich made of glass fibre composi…
A Novel Linear-Non-Linear Digital Control for DC/DC Converter with Fast Transient Response
2006
In this paper, a digitally controlled multimodule DC-DC converter with fast transient response, based on a linear-nonlinear control is presented. The proposed digital control improves the stability of the system, cuts off the effects of limit-cycle and reduces the recovery time, by making the "effective" bandwidth of the system independent of the bandwidth of the linear control loop and limits, at the same time, output voltage variations. The digital control is AVP-compatible and halves the recovery time. Preliminary hardware tests on a single phase step-down converter are reported. The experimental results match simulation ones, obtained by modelling system with Matlab/Aldec mixed environm…
Exploiting EDCA for Feedback Channels in Hybrid VLC/WiFi Architectures
2021
In this paper, we consider integrating VLC and WiFi technologies in a scenario in which Light-Emitting-Diodes (LEDs), acting as network access points (APs) for ultra-dense Internet of Things applications, are deployed into an indoor lighting infrastructure. In such a scenario, RF-links can be exploited for complementing VLC-links in dealing with mobility and bidirectional communications, which can be problematic due to the limited coverage areas and self-generated interference of VLC APs. In particular, we consider the possibility of supporting a technology-based duplexing scheme, in which downlink and uplink transmissions are performed by means, respectively, of VLC and WiFi interfaces int…
Solid state joining of thin hybrid sandwiches made of steel and polymer: A feasibility study
2020
The growing demand for more environmentally friendly vehicles has led to an increased use of light materials in the transportation industry with the aim to reduce structural weight, fuel consumption, and gas emissions, thereby boosting cost-effectiveness and recyclable properties. Complex multi-material steel-based components would allow to improve mechanical properties and minimize weight even further. In particular, new sandwich materials made by steel outer skins and a polymeric internal layer seems very promising for obtaining mechanical performance and lightness at the same time. Unfortunately, traditional welding techniques, like arc welding, laser welding, and resistance spot welding…
Preparation and structure of the 17-electron (η5-C5R5)Mo(OH)2(dppe) (R=Me, Et) organometallic compounds containing two gem-terminal hydroxide ligands
2000
International audience; Oxidation of (η5-C5R5)MoH3(dppe) (R=Me, Et) by Cp2Fe+ in wet THF leads to the formation of the corresponding (η5-C5R5)Mo(OH)2(dppe). These compounds show a low-potential reversible oxidation wave. The structure of the C5Et5 complex has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods: triclinic; space group ; a=11.030(1); b=12.533(1); c=16.241 (1) Å; α=68.585(7); β=75.197(5); γ=83.991(7)°; V=2020.6(3) Å3; Z=2; Dcalc=1.324 g cm−3, μ(Mo–Kα)=0.441 mm−1; R1=0.0325; wR2=0.0875 for 415 parameters and 6823 independent reflections [Rint=0.0177] with I=2σ(I). The molecule shows a four-legged piano-stool geometry with two terminal OH ligands in a relative trans configuration. The c…
Adaptive Contention Resolution for VoIP Services in the IEEE 802.16 Networks
2007
In the IEEE 802.16 networks, a subscriber station can use the contention slots to send bandwidth requests to the base station. The contention resolution mechanism is controlled by the backoff start/end values and a number of the request transmission opportunities. These parameters are set by the base station and are announced to subscriber stations in the management messages. In the case of the VoIP services, it is critical that the contention resolution occurs within the specified time interval to meet the VoIP QoS requirements. Thus, it is the responsibility of the base station to set correct contention resolution parameters to ensure the QoS requirements. This paper presents analytical c…
Adaptive contention resolution parameters for the IEEE 802.16 networks
2007
In the IEEE 802.16 networks, the base station allocates resources to subscriber stations based on their QoS requirements and bandwidth request sizes. A subscriber station can send a bandwidth request when it has an uplink grant allocated by the base station or by taking part in the contention resolution mechanism. This paper presents analytical calculations for parameters that control the contention resolution process in the IEEE 802.16 networks. In particular, the backoff start/end values and the number of request transmission opportunities are considered. The simulation results confirm the correctness of theoretical calculations. They also reveal that the adaptive parameter tuning results…

GekkoFS — A Temporary Burst Buffer File System for HPC Applications
2020
Many scientific fields increasingly use high-performance computing (HPC) to process and analyze massive amounts of experimental data while storage systems in today’s HPC environments have to cope with new access patterns. These patterns include many metadata operations, small I/O requests, or randomized file I/O, while general-purpose parallel file systems have been optimized for sequential shared access to large files. Burst buffer file systems create a separate file system that applications can use to store temporary data. They aggregate node-local storage available within the compute nodes or use dedicated SSD clusters and offer a peak bandwidth higher than that of the backend parallel f…
