A Phase-Angle Tracking Method for Synchronization of Single- and Three-Phase Grid-Connected Converters
This thesis proposes a phase-angle tracking method, i.e., based on discrete Fourier transform for synchronization of three-phase and single-phase power-electronic converters under distorted and variable-frequency conditions. The proposed methods are designed based on fixed sampling rate and, thus, they can simply be employed for control applications. For three-phase applications, first, analytical analysis are presented to determine the errors associated with the phasor estimation using standard full-cycle discrete Fourier transform in a variable-frequency environment. Then, a robust phase-angle estimation technique is proposed, which is based on a combination of estimated positive and negative sequences, tracked frequency, and two proposed compensation coefficients. The proposed method has one cycle transient response and is immune to harmonics, noises, voltage imbalances, and grid frequency variations. An effective approximation technique is proposed to simplify the computation of the compensation coefficients. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a comprehensive set of simulations in Matlab software. Simulation results show the robust and accurate performance of the proposed method in various abnormal operating conditions. For single-phase applications, an accurate phasor-estimation method is proposed to track the phase-angle of fundamental frequency component of voltage or current signals. This method can be used in three-phase applications as well. The proposed method is based on a fixed sampling frequency and, thus, it can simply be integrated in control applications of the grid-connected converters. Full-cycle discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is adopted as a base for phasor estimation. Two procedures are taken to effectiveness reduce the phasor estimation error using DFT during o - nominal frequency operation. First, adaptive window length (AWL) is applied to match the window-length of the DFT with respect to the input signal frequency. As AWL can partially reduce the error if sampling rate is not high, phasor compensation is employed to compensate the remaining error in the estimated phasor. Both procedures require system frequency, thus, an effective frequency-estimation technique is proposed to obtain fast and accurate performance. The proposed method has one cycle transient response and is immune to harmonics, noises, and grid frequency variations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a comprehensive set of simulations in Matlab and hardware implementation test using real-time digital signal processor data acquisition system

Design and Analysis of A New Illumination Invariant Human Face Recognition System
In this dissertation we propose the design and analysis of a new illumination invariant face recognition system. We show that the multiscale analysis of facial structure and features of face images leads to superior recognition rates for images under varying illumination. We assume that an image I ( x,y ) is a black box consisting of a combination of illumination and reflectance. A new approximation is proposed to enhance the illumination removal phase. As illumination resides in the low-frequency part of images, a high-performance multiresolution transformation is employed to accurately separate the frequency contents of input images. The procedure is followed by a fine-tuning process. After extracting a mask, feature vector is formed and the principal component analysis (PCA) is used for dimensionality reduction which is then proceeded by the extreme learning machine (ELM) as a classifier. We then analyze the effect of the frequency selectivity of subbands of the transformation on the performance of the proposed face recognition system. In fact, we first propose a method to tune the characteristics of a multiresolution transformation, and then analyze how these specifications may affect the recognition rate. In addition, we show that the proposed face recognition system can be further improved in terms of the computational time and accuracy. The motivation for this progress is related to the fact that although illumination mostly lies in the low-frequency part of images, these low-frequency components may have low- or high-resonance nature. Therefore, for the first time, we introduce the resonance based analysis of face images rather than the traditional frequency domain approaches. We found that energy selectivity of the subbands of the resonance based decomposition can lead to superior results with less computational complexity. The method is free of any prior information about the face shape. It is systematic and can be applied separately on each image. Several experiments are performed employing the well known databases such as the Yale B, Extended-Yale B, CMU-PIE, FERET, AT&T, and LFW. Illustrative examples are given and the results confirm the effectiveness of the method compared to the current results in the literature
3-(1-Methylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)-3H-indole sesquihydrate
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H14N2·1.5H2O, contains two similar molecules of 3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-ylidene)-3H-indole, (I), and three water molecules. (I) is the product of reacting indole with 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. Both organic molecules are almost completely planar; the maximum distances above and below the least-squares plane through all the atoms of molecule 1 are 0.050 (8) and −0.045 (8) Å, respectively, and the deviations for molecule 2 are 0.096 (8) and −0.059 (8) Å, respectively. In the crystal, the two crystallographically different molecules alternate in π-stacked columns [centroid–centroid distances = 3.729 (5) and 3.858 (5) Å], which are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to a network of hydrogen-bonded water molecules. O—H⋯O interactions are also present
