Abstract: Novel methodology and controller for hysteresis current control in modular multilevel converters (MMCs). With this novel acceleration slope-based hysteresis current control, the MMC can behave as a high-bandwidth and high-precision current source with much reduced power loss in comparison with the two-level voltage source converter (VSC) with traditional hysteresis current control. At regular sampling intervals, a value of the outputted AC current signal is compared against a prescribed range whose upper and lower limits straddle a reference current signal to which the outputted AC current signal is to be conformed. If the measured value is above or below the range, a current/time slope of the reference current is decreased or increased, respectively, to modify a reference voltage to be imparted at the output port of the MMC to control the outputted AC current signal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating anti-noise using an anti-noise generator to suppress noise from a noise source in an environment comprises processing a sound signal, which is representative of ambient sound including noise, anti-noise and propagation noise from the environment, using a deep learning algorithm configured to generate an anti-noise signal to form anti-noise. The deep learning algorithm comprises a convolution layer; after the convolution layer, a series of atrous scaled convolution modules, wherein each of the atrous scaled convolution modules comprises an atrous convolution, a nonlinear activation function after the atrous convolution, and a pointwise convolution after the nonlinear activation function; after the series of atrous scaled convolution modules, a recurrent neural network; and after the recurrent neural network, a plurality of fully connected layers.

Abstract: A method of obtaining channel state information of a communication channel between a user device and an access point with plural antennas features steps of forming separate statistical models representative of a first channel portion between the access point and a wave transformer located at a geographically intermediate location between the access point and the user device, which is configured to reflect electromagnetic signals between the access point and the user device and has electronically reconfigurable antennas, and a second channel portion between the wave transformer and the user device; and processing, using respective machine learning algorithms configured to determine parameters of a type of tractable statistical distribution selected to represent both the first and second portions of the channel, a transmitted signal so as to form parametrized tractable statistical distributions respectively defining the separate statistical models of the first and second portions of the communication channel.

Abstract: Treatments for therapy of a diabetic symmetrical polyneuropathy a subject in need thereof. The treatments includes administration of compositions comprising: an effective amount of a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist exemplified by pirenzepine, telenzepine, atropine, or derivatives thereof or salts thereof or analogs thereof or derivatives thereof, and a pharmacologically acceptable carrier. The composition may be injectable or alternatively, may be applied topically or alternatively, may be delivered orally. A suitable topical composition may comprise a lotion, a cream, a gel, or a viscous fluid. The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist may be a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist salt or a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist derivative or a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist analog.

Abstract: A method for identifying one or more faulted conductors in a power transmission system having at least two power-transmitting conductors and a method for determining fault location each include steps of monitoring current signals which are representative of currents in the conductors at a generally common location within the power transmission system; filtering the current signals; determining a maximum rate of change of each filtered current signal within a predetermined time interval after the fault event has commenced; and calculating a ratio of a pair of the maximum rates of change of the filtered current signals. For fault classification, the ratio is compared against a discrimination factor to identify the one or more faulted conductors. For fault location, the calculated ratio is compared against the calibration data to determine the distance from the connection terminal of the faulted conductor to the fault location.

Abstract: A method of calibrating an apparatus configured to perform optical coherence tomography to measure depth of an article of a prescribed type comprises (a) using an existing measurement system configured to measure depth, measuring a sample of the article to obtain reference depth measurements; b) using the optical coherence tomography apparatus, capturing sectional images of the sample at the same positions at which the reference depth measurements were obtained; c) determining, in each sectional image, a number of pixels in a depth direction of the sample; and d) determining, using the reference depth measurements and the numbers of pixels from the sectional images, a correlation curve to associate pixels in images captured by optical coherence tomography with physical depth. Measuring the sample comprises performing plural measurements at different positions on the sample. Each measurement is in the form of a profile of the sample at a corresponding position thereon.
