Worst-case execution time analysis is the fundament of real-time system design, and is therefore an area which has been subject to great scientific interest for a long time. However, traditional worst-case execution time analysis techniques assume that the underlying hardware is a monoprocessor system, and this class of hardware platforms is getting less suitable for modern embedded applications, ...Show More
The analysis of standard cycle times for manual tasks has been an important subject in time and motion studies for developing a standardized work process for which the laborious and continuous observation of tasks using a time measurement instrument was usually required. In order to automate this procedure, a motion recognition method is proposed to identify the precise start and end times of manu...Show More
Signal timing information (such as cycle length, red time, etc.) is important to bus scheduling and travel time estimation, etc. So it is of great significance to estimate the signal timing information. The existing signal timing estimation method cannot timely respond to the changes of the signal timing parameters, and it cannot well estimate the time that the vehicle arrives at the stop line. Fu...Show More

To evaluate the technical feasibility of IBR-driven black start in the four configurations, a behavioral model of inverters that mimics current-limited inverter operation is developed using vari...Show More
In sensorless operation of spindle motors in hard disk drives (HDD), open-looped starting is used to spin up the motor from standstill to a speed that is high enough to reliably detect back-electromotive force (back-EMF) generated in the armature windings. Then the back-EMF zero-crossing points (ZCP) will be used to detect speed and position for closed-looped control. This paper studies three open...Show More
As the volume of Internet of Things (IoT) data grows rapidly, a time series database is a major part of the system that helps in storing and retrieving the massive data for analysis and monitoring. Accord-ing to the user behaviors, the data queries often are similar or overlapped to the previous queries, especially when the user adjusts the query parameters on the same time series data for display...Show More
The start-up system is an important auxiliary device of the gas turbine, and the start-up sequence of the gas turbine is a time series process. The performance of the start-up will directly affect whether the gas turbine operates or not. This paper takes a three-shaft gas turbine generator set as the research object and makes a detailed analysis of the common faults in the start-up process, and th...Show More
Measuring a time interval in the nanoseconds range has opened the way to 3-D imaging, where additional information as distance of objects light detection and ranging (LiDAR) or lifetime decay fluorescence-lifetime imaging (FLIM) is added to spatial coordinates. One of the key elements of these systems is the time measurement circuit, which encodes a time interval into digital words. Nowadays, most...Show More
Traditional system modeling has been an effective analysis method for long-term planning, capacitor placement and fault current calculations. However, this method can be very time consuming to validate results for different time periods and network configurations. Analysis such as phase balancing, operational switching, demand response impact and interconnection studies can be performed more accur...Show More
Black start recovery is the strategy to deal with power system collapse from severe accidents.

A motor starting time or motor acceleration study is a wise investment to evaluate the success or failure of starting a large motor in an electrical system. Engineers responsible for conducting this study rely on software tools to simulate the electrical motor starting and its effect on the power system. In some situations, only the motor starting time is required by the engineer, not a full motor...Show More

The transmission control protocol (TCP) Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) protocol emulates a TCP-like slow start algorithm, which is known to cause two problems: (1) takes many round-trip times to reach the optimal operating point; (2) misleads the sender to send too many packets too quickly at the end of the slow start phase. In this paper, we propose a modified measurement-based slow start mechanism...Show More

Hospitals are currently facing high incidences of ambulance bypass, long waiting lists for elective procedures and a significant proportion of patients experiencing long stays in the emergency department before moving to a bed in a ward. We observe that the system of wards and the emergency department in essence operates on two time-scales: the wards operate on a time-scale of days, whereas the st...Show More

Many applications have a higher starting torque requirement and it is sometimes a struggle to provide smooth starting performance. VFD starts are known to reduce starting stresses but may not always provide the best overall solution when economics, performance and process control are considered. This paper will review considerations for new and retrofit applications, touching on torques required b...Show More
