Identification of inherent noise components of semiconductor devices on an example of optocouplers
PublikacjaIn the paper, a method of estimation of parameters of Gaussian and non-Gaussian components in the noise signal of semiconductor devices in a frequency domain is proposed. The method is based on composing estimators of two spectra, corresponding to noise (Gaussian component) and two-level RTS noise (non-Gaussian component). The proposed method can be applied for precise evaluation of the corner RTS frequency fRTS in the noise...

Comprehensive distortion compensation of grid-connected inverter currents
PublikacjaThe paper presents a comprehensive approach to the compensation of phase current distortion of grid-connected power inverters. Four different sources of current distortion are addressed: imperfect grid synchronization caused by the distortion in the grid voltages, voltage fluctuations in the dc link, time delays in the estimation of grid voltages, and the distortion of inverter output voltages due to dead-time effects and related...

Resolving conflicts in object tracking for automatic detection of events in video
PublikacjaAn algorithm for resolving conflicts in tracking of moving objects is presented. The proposed approach utilizes predicted states calculated by Kalman filters for estimation of trackers position, then it uses color and texture descriptors in order to match moving objects with trackers. Problematic situations, such as splitting objects, are addressed. Test results are presented and discussed. The algorithm may be used in the system...

Speed sensorless asynchronous motor drive with inverter output lc filter
PublikacjaIn this paper a speed sensorless ac drive with inverter and output LC filter is proposed. A nonlinear, decoupled field oriented control algorithm with a flux and speed close-loop observer is used. In spite of using LC filter on the inverter output, the sensorless system works precisely. That result are obtained as a result of the appropriate estimation and control system use. The theory, simulation, and experimental results are...

Direct detection of quantum entanglement
PublikacjaBasing on positive maps separability criterion we propose the experimentally viable, direct detection of quantum entanglement. It is efficient and does not require any a priori knowledge about the state. For two qubits it provides a sharp (i.e., “if and only if”) separability test and estimation of amount of entanglement. We view this method as a new form of quantum computation, namely, as a decision problem with quantum data structure.

The impact of the shape of deep drilled well screen openings on the filtration process in full saturation conditions
PublikacjaThe authors propose a supplementary method of modelling seepage flow around the deep drilled well screen. The study applies 3D numerical modelling (FEM) in order to provide an in-depth analysis of the seepage process. The analysis of filtration parameters (flow distribution q(x,t) and pressure distribution p) was conducted using the ZSoil.PC software system. The analysis indicates that the shape of perforation is of secondary importance...

Determinants of export diversification: an empirical investigation
PublikacjaEmpirical findings confirm that relatively high specialisation of economic structures tends to be associated with low levels of income per capita, but countries diversify their export structures along their path of growth. However, usually only per capita income, and eventually, country-specific fixed effects are the sole explanatory variables taken into consideration in the estimation of specialisation curves. We extend the analysis...

Study on the accuracy of axle load spectra used for pavement design
PublikacjaWeigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems are used in order to reduce the number of overloaded vehicles. Data collected from WIM provide characteristics of vehicle axle loads that are crucial for pavement design as well as for the development of pavement distress prediction models. The inaccuracy of WIM data lead to erroneous estimation of traffic loads and in consequence inaccurate prediction of pavement distress process. The objective of...

Efficient bounds on quantum-communication rates via their reduced variants
PublikacjaWe investigate one-way communication scenarios where Bob operating on his component can transfer some subsystem to the environment. We define reduced versions of quantum-communication rates and, further, prove upper bounds on a one-way quantum secret key, distillable entanglement, and quantum-channel capacity by means of their reduced versions. It is shown that in some cases they drastically improve their estimation.

A New Method of Noncausal Identification of Time-varying Systems
PublikacjaThe paper shows that the problem of noncausal identification of a time-varying FIR (finite impulse response) sys- tem can be reformulated, and solved, as a problem of smoothing of the preestimated parameter trajectories. Characteristics of the smoothing filter should be chosen so as to provide the best trade- off between the bias and variance of the resulting estimates. It is shown that optimization of the smoothing operation can...
