Parametric-Based Mobility For Providing Opportunistic Geocasting In Spatially Separated Wireless Sensor Networks, Selvi Ravindran, Narayanasamy Palanisamy, Vetriselvi Vetrian
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Uneven deployment and environment constraint leads to the formation of a spatially separated wireless sensor network (SS-WSN). Most of the traditional WSN architectures consist of static nodes that are densely deployed over a sensing area and are fully connected. SS-WSN is a group of disjoint subnetworks where connectivity is generally maintained by energy rich mobile nodes (ERMN), which roam about from one subnetwork to another. We propose an algorithm whereby the mobility of ERMN helps in distributing the geo message opportunistically in the region of interest. The routing consists of two phases: (1) transmission of the geo message from the …

A Designed Converter For Minimizing Srm Torque Ripple With Controlled Boost Capacitor Automatically, Loghman Samani, Mahdi Abdolhamidi, Amir Rashidi, Sayed Morteza Saghaiannezhad
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) is one way of controlling torque in switched reluctance motors. Despite the presence of DITC control, torque ripple at nominal or higher speeds is considerable due to the back emf increasing. To overcome this drawback, many converters have been proposed. In most convertors proposed for fast excitation in DITC, controlling of boost capacity is an important problem. This paper presents a DITC for a switched reluctance motor using a proposed converter to reduce the torque ripple with controlled boost capacitor automatically. The proposed converter reduces the torque ripple at rated or higher speeds and no …

Novel Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration Implementations Of The Support Vector Machine Classifier On Fpga, Hanaa Hussain, Khaled Benkrid, Hüseyi̇n Şeker
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The support vector machine (SVM) is one of the highly powerful classifiers that have been shown to be capable of dealing with high-dimensional data. However, its complexity increases requirements of computational power. Recent technologies including the postgenome data of high-dimensional nature add further complexity to the construction of SVM classifiers. In order to overcome this problem, hardware implementations of the SVM classifier have been proposed to benefit from parallelism to accelerate the SVM. On the other hand, those implementations offer limited flexibility in terms of changing parameters and require the reconfiguration of the whole device. The latter interrupts the operation …

An Improved Digital Image Watermarking Scheme Using The Discrete Fourier Transform And Singular Value Decomposition, Justin Varghese, Saudia Subash, Omer Bin Hussain, Krishnan Nallaperumal, Mohammed Ramadan Saady, Mohamed Samiulla Khan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The paper presents an improved digital image watermarking algorithm by incorporating the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). The Fourier transformed carrier image is decomposed into four different frequency subbands by the proposed onion peel decomposition (OPD) algorithm and the SVD-based watermarking scheme is applied to attach the transformed watermark in all four carrier subbands. The proposed inverse OPD algorithm together with inverse DFT is utilized to reconstruct the watermarked image from the frequency blocks. The watermark extraction algorithm is simple and it performs the inverse of watermarking process. The experimental analysis on different images shows that …

Push-Pull Cache Consistency Mechanism For Cooperative Caching In Mobile Ad Hoc Environments, Lilly Sheeba Selvin, Yogesh Palanichamy
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Maintaining data consistency between data cached by a mobile client and data residing in the data server is a major issue in a wireless mobile environment. In this paper, we propose a push-pull cache consistency (2P2C) mechanism, with the intention of increasing the rate of serving requestors with recent up-to-date information or data from the cache of the intermediate nodes that are exact replicas of the data present in the origin server. This is a hybrid scheme that does not rely entirely either on the server or on the mobile client for maintaining consistency. Here we employ a registration process. …

In this paper, a prediction procedure for conducted common-mode EMI of a single-switch forward converter is presented, and common-mode EMI levels are predicted considering heat-sink parasitic capacitors and main PCB parasitic elements. The accuracy of prediction results is examined via experimental results. In addition, effects of conventional passive core-reset schemes on the conducted EMI are evaluated via experimental results. Along with …
A Current-Based Simple Analog Mppt Circuit For Pv Systems, Bülent Büyükgüzel, Murat Aksoy
A Current-Based Simple Analog Mppt Circuit For Pv Systems, Bülent Büyükgüzel, Murat Aksoy
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A new single pilot-sensor maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system, consisting of a buck type DC/DC converter, was developed. It is controlled by an analog-based unit. The main difference between the proposed MPPT system and other systems is that the short circuit current of the pilot-PV module in our system is used to control the DC/DC converter. The circuit of the proposed system does not utilize an expensive digital signal processor nor a microcontroller; hence, the cost and the complexity of the system are reduced.
