Assuming that patterns in memory are represented as two-dimensional arrays of local features, just as they are in primary visual cortices, pattern recognition can take the form of elastic graph matching (Lades et al., 1993 ). Neural implementation of this may be based on preorganized fiber projections that can be activated rapidly with the help of control units (Wolfrum, Wolff, Lücke, & von der Malsburg, 2008 ). Each control unit governs a set of projection fibers that form part of a coherent mapping. We describe a mathematical model for the ontogenesis of the underlying connectivity based on a principle of network self-organization as described by the Häussler system (Häussler & von der Malsburg, 1983 ), modified to be sensitive to pattern similarity and to support formation of multiple mappings, each under the command of a control unit. The process takes the form of a soft-winner-take-all, where units compete for the representation of maps. We show simulations for invariant point-to-point and feature-to-feature mappings.

Three-phase imbalance is a long-term issue existing in low-voltage distribution networks (LVDNs), which consequently has an inverse impact on the safe and optimal operation of LVDNs. Recently, the increasing integration of single-phase distributed generations (DGs) and flexible loads has increased the probability of imbalance occurrence in LVDNs. To overcome the above challenges, this paper proposes a novel methodology based on the concept of "Active Asymmetry Energy-Absorbing (AAEA)" utilizing loads with a back-to-back converter, denoted as “AAEA Unit” in this paper. AAEA Units are deployed and coordinated to actively absorb asymmetry power among three phases for imbalance mitigation in LVDNs based on the high-precision, high-accuracy, and real-time distribution-level phasor measurement unit (D-PMU) data acquisition system and the 5th generation mobile networks (5G) communication channels. Furthermore, the control scheme of the proposed method includes three control units. Specifically, the positive-sequence control unit is designed to maintain the voltage of the DC-capacitor of the back-to-back converter. Likewise, the negative-sequence and zero-sequence control units are expected to mitigate the imbalanced current components. A simple imbalanced LVDN is modeled and tested in Simulink/Matlab (MathWorks, US). The obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

We present a system for the automatic interpretation of cluttered scenes containing multiple partly occluded objects in front of unknown, complex backgrounds. The system is based on an extended elastic graph matching algorithm that allows the explicit modeling of partial occlusions. Our approach extends an earlier system in two ways. First, we use elastic graph matching in stereo image pairs to increase matching robustness and disambiguate occlusion relations. Second, we use richer feature descriptions in the object models by integrating shape and texture with color features. We demonstrate that the combination of both extensions substantially increases recognition performance. The system learns about new objects in a simple one-shot learning approach. Despite the lack of statistical information in the object models and the lack of an explicit background model, our system performs surprisingly well for this very difficult task. Our results underscore the advantages of view-based feature constellation representations for difficult object recognition problems.

Scattering Volume

An analysis of the influence caused by polarization nephelometer parameters on the scattering matrix measurement accuracy in a non-isotropic medium is presented. The approximation errors in the actual scattering volume and radiation beam by an elementary scattering volume and an elementary radiation beam are considered. A formula for calculating the nephelometer base is proposed. It is shown that requirements to an irradiation source of a polarizing nephelometer, i.e. mono-chromaticity and high radiation intensity and directivity in a wide spectral range can be satisfied by a set of high brightness LEDs with a radiating (self-luminous) small size body. A 5-wavelength monochromatic irradiation source, with an emission flux of (0.15–0.6) W required for a polarization nephelometer, is described. The design of small-sized polarizing phase control units is shown. An electronic circuit of a radiator control unit based on an AVR-Atmega 8-bit microcontroller with feedback and drive control realized by means of an incremental angular motion sensor and a software PID controller is presented. Precise and smooth motion of the radiator is ensured by standard servo-driven numerical control mathematics and the use of precision gears. The system allows both autonomous adjustment of the radiator’s reference positions and adjustment by means of commands from a personal computer. Both the computer and microcontroller programs were developed with the use of free software, making it possible to transfer the programs to Windows‑7(10), Linux and embedded Linux operating systems. Communication between the radiator’s position control system and the personal computer is realised by means of a standard noise immune USB-RS485 interface.

Capacity Calculation

The water quality target management of the control unit is a convenient and direct technology for water environment management and the development direction of water environment management in China, involving control unit division and water environment capacity calculation. Taking the Taihu Lake Basin in Jiangsu Province as an example, we propose herein the basic principle of the division of a regional control unit in a plain river network and the method of analyzing the rationality of the control unit division. On this basis, the Taihu Lake Basin in Jiangsu Province was divided into 70 control units. To calculate the water environmental capacity in the plain river network area, we established a water environmental capacity calculation framework based on multiple targets of lakes and rivers, and proposed the goal of water quality "double compliance" of the water environmental functional zone and the assessment section. For this study, we calculated the regional water environmental capacity using the mathematical model of the Taihu Lake Basin’s water environmental capacity, and the water environmental capacities of the 70 control units were allocated by the weight coefficient method, which established water area and functional division length. The research results described herein were applied to the pollution permit management of the Taihu Lake Basin in Jiangsu Province. It provides important technical support for the establishment of a pollution permit system based on the total capacity to improve environmental quality.

Knowledge of the motions of aircraft control surfaces due to oscillating hinge moments is of great importance for flutter investigations. While the impedance of the power control unit may play a large part in determining these motions, it is not their only cause. The elasticity of the power unit mounting and the effect on the input of distortion of the aircraft structure, an effect which may depend on air speed, may also be important. Nevertheless the influence of the power unit itself is of major importance. No very satisfactory methods appear to have been devised yet, however, for making such tests. The difficulty lies chiefly in applying the large oscillatory loads to the output of the power control unit, which are necessary if the test is to be realistic. The facts that the oscillating loads must be applied to the jack while it is moving, and that a non-oscillatory opposing load is also desirable, add to the difficulties. For convenience in assessing the characteristics of the unit, it is desirable that the oscillating load should be superimposed on a constant opposing load and that the basic jack motion should be of constant velocity.

Matrix model of logical simulator within spreadsheet This paper examines the use of spreadsheets for simulation of logical control units. A matrix model is proposed for this aim. The use of this model is appropriate both for teaching and learning of simulation of a specific type of integrated circuit — Programmable Logic Arrays — and also for any type of control unit representable in the form of a logical function system.
