All-optical packet switching has been intensively investigated in recent years as an alternative to static, crossconnect based networks. Several switch architectures have been proposed, all of them using buffers made of fibre delay lines. The paper address ...
This paper deals with cascade multilevel inverters. It focuses on asymmetrical topologies where the cell input voltages are of different values. These hybrid topologies might be used in several applications. Nevertheless, the need of DC-DC converters to su ...
In this paper, we introduce a framework to estimate the power consumption on switch fabrics in network routers. We propose different modeling methodologies for node switches, internal buffers and interconnect wires inside switch fabric architectures. A sim ...
Thermo-optical and electro-optical (plasma dispersion) effects for silicon based integrated optical modulators are becoming attractive and effective solutions for telecommunications applications such as switching for programmable optical add-drop multiplex ...
This paper considers the minimization of batch time for an industrial inverse-emulsion polymerization reactor in the presence of uncertainty. A first optimization study resulted in the current industrial practice of a semi-adiabatic profile (isothermal ope ...
We consider a wireless sensor network, where nodes switch between an active (on) and a sleeping (off) mode, to save energy. Their switching on/off schedules are completely non-coordinated. Their positions are distributed according to a Poisson process, and ...
This paper deals with cascade multilevel inverters. It focuses on asymmetrical topologies where the cell input voltages are of different values. These hybrid topologies may be advantageous for several applications. Nevertheless, the need of DC-DC converter ...
Active materials with adaptive acoustic impedance are materials with an acoustic characteristic which can be controlled using as external source of energy and a control circuit. Controlling the acoustic impedance means controlling the transmission, reflect ...
This paper deals with asymmetrical multi-level inverters. The investigated topologies consist of series connected cells with different input voltages. Some combinations of different input voltages have been proposed to improve the converter resolution. Thi ...
