The human respiratory system plays a crucial role in breathing and swallow ing. However, it also plays an essential role in speech production, which is unique to humans. Speech production involves expelling air from the ...

Among all tissue imaging modalities, photo-acoustic tomography (PAT), has been getting increasing attention in the recent past due to the fact that it has high contrast, high penetrability, and has capability of retrieving ...

Owing to the negative impact of carbon emissions on environment, power systems are experiencing a paradigm shift in power generation. The fossil fuel-based generators that utilize synchronous machines are increasingly being ...

The power generation, transmission and utilisation are necessarily being carried out at different voltage levels, and require transformers for performing the voltage level conversions. As a result, transformers form one ...

Sparse linear inverse problems require the solution to the l-0-regularized least-squares cost, which is not computationally tractable. Approximate and computationally tractable solutions are obtained by employing ...

The celebrated Shannon sampling theorem is a key mathematical tool that allows one to seamlessly switch between the continuous-time and discrete-time representations of bandlimited signals. Sampling and reconstruction of ...

Switched reluctance machines (SRM) are permanent magnet free, and have a simple rotor construction with no current carrying parts. These are particularly suitable for high-temperature and high-speed applications. However, ...

In this thesis, a classifier based on local sub-unit level and global character level representations of a character, using stroke direction and order variations independent features, is developed for recognition of ...

Image filtering is a fundamental preprocessing task in computer vision and image processing. Various linear and nonlinear filters are routinely used for enhancement, upsampling, sharpening, reconstruction, etc. The focus ...

Hall sensor has proved to be an attractive solution for sensing requirements in electric machines for direct measurement of fields or indirect estimation of physical quantities such as current, speed and torque. Current ...
