Chaos From Switched-Capacitor Circuits: Discrete Maps
A special-purpose analog computer made of switched-capacitor circuits is presented for analyzing chaos and bifurcation phenomena in nonlinear discrete dynamical systems modeled by discrete maps *n + t = fan)-Experimental results are given for four switched-capacitor circuits described by well-known discrete maps; namely, the logistic map, the piecewise-linear unimodal (one-hump) map, the H é non map, and the Lozi map

Platonic model of mind as an approximation to neurodynamics
Hierarchy of approximations involved in simplification of microscopic theories, from sub-cellural to the whole brain level, is presented. A new approximation to neural dynamics is described, leading to a Platonic-like model of mind based on psychological spaces. Objects and events in these spaces correspond to quasi-stable states of brain dynamics and may be interpreted from psychological point of view. Platonic model bridges the gap between neurosciences and psychological sciences. Static and dynamic versions of this model are outlined and Feature Space Mapping, a neurofuzzy realization of the static version of Platonic model, described. Categorization experiments with human subjects are analyzed from the neurodynamical and Platonic model points of view
CMOS design of chaotic oscillators using state variables: a monolithic Chua's circuit
This paper presents design considerations for monolithic implementation of piecewise-linear (PWL) dynamic systems in CMOS technology. Starting from a review of available CMOS circuit primitives and their respective merits and drawbacks, the paper proposes a synthesis approach for PWL dynamic systems, based on state-variable methods, and identifies the associated analog operators. The GmC approach, combining quasi-linear VCCS's, PWL VCCS's, and capacitors is then explored regarding the implementation of these operators. CMOS basic building blocks for the realization of the quasi-linear VCCS's and PWL VCCS's are presented and applied to design a Chua's circuit IC. The influence of GmC parasitics on the performance of dynamic PWL systems is illustrated through this example. Measured chaotic attractors from a Chua's circuit prototype are given. The prototype has been fabricated in a 2.4- mu m double-poly n-well CMOS technology, and occupies 0.35 mm/sup 2/, with a power consumption of 1.6 mW for a +or-2.5-V symmetric supply. Measurements show bifurcation toward a double-scroll Chua's attractor by changing a bias current
Knowledge Discovery in the SCADA Databases Used for the Municipal Power Supply System
This scientific paper delves into the problems related to the develop-ment of
intellectual data analysis system that could support decision making to manage
municipal power supply services. The management problems of mu-nicipal power
supply system have been specified taking into consideration modern tendencies
shown by new technologies that allow for an increase in the energy efficiency.
The analysis findings of the system problems related to the integrated
computer-aided control of the power supply for the city have been given. The
consideration was given to the hierarchy-level management decom-position model.
The objective task targeted at an increase in the energy effi-ciency to
minimize expenditures and energy losses during the generation and
transportation of energy carriers to the Consumer, the optimization of power
consumption at the prescribed level of the reliability of pipelines and
networks and the satisfaction of Consumers has been defined. To optimize the
support of the decision making a new approach to the monitoring of engineering
systems and technological processes related to the energy consumption and
transporta-tion using the technologies of geospatial analysis and Knowledge
Discovery in databases (KDD) has been proposed. The data acquisition for
analytical prob-lems is realized in the wireless heterogeneous medium, which
includes soft-touch VPN segments of ZigBee technology realizing the 6LoWPAN
standard over the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and also the segments of the networks
of cellu-lar communications. JBoss Application Server is used as a server-based
plat-form for the operation of the tools used for the retrieval of data
collected from sensor nodes, PLC and energy consumption record devices. The KDD
tools are developed using Java Enterprise Edition platform and Spring and ORM

A Unifying Framework for Finite Wordlength Realizations.
A general framework for the analysis of the finite
wordlength (FWL) effects of linear time-invariant digital filter
implementations is proposed. By means of a special implicit system
description, all realization forms can be described. An algebraic
characterization of the equivalent classes is provided, which
enables a search for realizations that minimize the FWL effects
to be made. Two suitable FWL coefficient sensitivity measures
are proposed for use within the framework, these being a transfer
function sensitivity measure and a pole sensitivity measure. An
illustrative example is presented
Learning in neuro/fuzzy analog chips
This paper focus on the design of adaptive mixed-signal fuzzy chips. These chips have parallel architecture and feature electrically-controlable surface maps. The design methodology is based on the use of composite transistors - modular and well suited for design automation. This methodology is supported by dedicated, hardware-compatible learning algorithms that combine weight-perturbation and outstar
An improved sufficient condition for absence of limit cycles in digital filters
It is known that if the state transition matrix A of a digital filter structure is such that D - A^{dagger}DA is positive definite for some diagonal matrix D of positive elements, then all zero-input limit cycles can be suppressed. This paper shows that positive semidefiniteness of D - A^{dagger}DA is in fact sufficient. As a result, it is now possible to explain the absence of limit cycles in Gray-Markel lattice structures based only on the state-space viewpoint
