Voltage stability imposes important limitations on the power systems operation. The system should be operated with an adequate voltage stability margin by the appropriate scheduling of reactive power resources and voltage profile. The main countermeasures ...
The acoustic impedance at the diaphragm of an electroacoustic transducer can be modified using a range of active control strategies, amongst which is “direct impedance control”. This technique employs a combination of feedbacks, one on the acoustic pressur ...
This paper presents a neural recording amplifier array suitable for large-scale integration with multielectrode arrays in very low-power microelectronic cortical implants. The proposed amplifier is one of the most energy-efficient structures reported to da ...
In this paper, we propose a new Distributed Video Coding (DVC) architecture where motion estimation is performed both at the encoder and decoder, effectively combining global and local motion models. We show that the proposed approach improves significantl ...
This paper describes the analysis and design of a dynamic supply CMOS audio power amplifier for low-power applications. The dynamic supply technique is used to increase the efficiency of a class AB power amplifier. The polarization of its output stage is a ...
