Reconstructive Sensing Circuit For Complementary Resistive Switches-Based Crossbar Memories, Ertuğrul Karakulak, Reşat Mutlu, Erdem Uçar Jan 2016

Reconstructive Sensing Circuit For Complementary Resistive Switches-Based Crossbar Memories, Ertuğrul Karakulak, Reşat Mutlu, Erdem Uçar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Complementary resistive switches (CRSs) are suggested as an alternative to one-cell memristor memories to decrease leakage currents. However, their sensing is more difficult and complex than one-cell memristor memories. A method has been given for sensing their state using only DC voltages in the literature. However, in this strategy, sensing one of the logic states results in the destruction of the state and the destroyed state must be written again. To the best of our knowledge, a circuit with this sensing strategy does not exist in the literature yet. In this paper, such a circuit employing this method, which is …

Improved Control Of A Photovoltaic Pumping System By Dtc-Svm To Optimize The Water Flow, Moulay Idriss Chergui

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper deals with two different techniques of vector method-related direct torque control: the conventional (DTC-C) and the space vector modulation (DTC-SVM). Both are used for an induction motor in the photovoltaic pumping system. Based on instantaneous space vector theory, and with an optimal selection of the space voltage vectors in each sampling period, the DTC achieves effective control of the stator flux and torque. Consequently, the number of space voltage vectors and switching frequency directly influence the performance of the DTC control system, giving an advantage for a rotor position free control system. In order to improve the efficiency …

System Identification By Using Migrating Birds Optimization Algorithm: A Comparative Performance Analysis, Hasan Makas, Nejat Yumuşak Jan 2016

System Identification By Using Migrating Birds Optimization Algorithm: A Comparative Performance Analysis, Hasan Makas, Nejat Yumuşak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

System identification is an important process to investigate and understand the behavior of an unknown system. It aims to establish an interface between the real system and its mathematical representation. Conventional system identification methods generally need differentiable search spaces and they cannot be used for nondifferentiable multimodal search spaces. On the other hand, metaheuristic search algorithms are independent from the search space characteristics and they do not need much knowledge about the real system. The migrating birds optimization algorithm is a recently introduced nature-inspired metaheuristic neighborhood search approach. It simulates the V flight formation of migrating birds, which enables birds …

Fetal Electrocardiogram Estimation Using Polynomial Eigenvalue Decomposition, Soydan Redif

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

decomposition (PEVD) to the problem of fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) extraction from real ECG recordings obtained from abdominal leads. We model the fetal ECG extraction problem as a broadband sensor array signal processing problem in order to account for the broadband nature of the ECG noise present in the recordings. An algorithm for providing an approximate PEVD is used in order to estimate the broadband noise subspace. Suppression of the broadband noise and maternal ECG is achieved by carrying out an orthonormal projection of the recordings onto the estimated fetal subspace. The proposed scheme was evaluated with multichannel synthetic ECG signals …
