A five-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter (CHBI) was used to connect the DFIG to the grid. The SVM algorithm enables controlling of the DFIG inverter which improves the quality of the output power by reducing the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the generated currents and power ripples. However, the multi-level inverter has a major drawback, the even-order harmonics production, which can be overcame by controlling the five-level CHBI using this novel SVM technique generalized to N-level. The paper further presents the mechanism of this algorithm and a method to deduce the trajectories from the sequences, enabling reduction of the time and number of commutations, a better performance among several possible trajectories, and reduction of the THD rate of the DFIG output currents.Majlesi Journal of Electrical EngineeringA Comparative Analysis of Various Mobile Sink Routing Protocols and Performance Comparison of Clustered Routing Protocols in Mobile Sink ScenarioVolume 12 (2018)Issue 3, September 201820240215A Comparative Analysis of Various Mobile Sink Routing Protocols and Performance Comparison of Clustered Routing Protocols in Mobile Sink ScenarioENDeepakSethiMody University of Science & Technology, LakshmangarhParthaBhattacharyaJournal Article20240215The concentration of data transfer towards the sink in a wireless sensor network causes the nearby nodes to exhaust their batteries faster than other nodes, which leaves the sink trapped and disrupts the data reporting by sensor nodes to each other. To avoid such scenarios, protocols with mobile sinks was proposed. It helped in achieving load balancing and uniform energy consumption throughout the network. We tried to concentrate on the dynamic requirements of mobile sink. We have provided an overview of the concerns of a mobile sink routing protocol, design requirements and challenges associated with the problem of mobile sink routing. Along with it, we explained the types of mobile sink protocols and compared them on the basis of some important parameters that define a protocol. In this paper, the concept of mobile sink is proposed with various protocols that were defined with static sink. Mobile sink is supposed to be moving in each round and data collection is done through Coordinator cluster head (CCH) which collects the data through various cluster heads (CH). Simulation result showed that mobile sink concept is increasing the network lifetime.Majlesi Journal of Electrical EngineeringDesign and Simulation of an Infinite Impulse Response Filter with MemristorVolume 12 (2018)Issue 3, September 201820240215Design and Simulation of an Infinite Impulse Response Filter with MemristorENAhmadMalekiMasters student Dept. of Electrical and Computers EngineeringVahidRashtchiAssociate Professor of Electrical EngineeringJalilMazloumAssociate Professor of Electrical EngineeringJournal Article20240215In this paper, a novel circuit for memristor based Infinite Impulse Response Filter (IIR) filter implementation is presented. In this research for increasing the input voltage range in sampling the analog signal, complementary switches were used instead of single-transistor switches. In addition, to increase the filter accuracy, a delayed circuit with the ability to implement high-order filters is presented. In this work, coefficients of the IIR filter were implemented by memristor; using such component could provide in-system reconfigurability. The memristor could decline receiving negative values, where IIR filter coefficients have negative values. In this research a new method for generating negative numbers as filter coefficients is presented. During running an advanced search algorithm, the memristor values were set at six, seven, and eight bits of resolution; these values cause memristors have the lowest error rate in generating coefficients. All circuits were simulated by Cadence tools on TSMC 0.18 micrometer technology platform with 1.8 volt power supply. In simulation results, outputs of low/high-pass filters along with the error rate of coefficients calculated and compared to actual coefficients.Majlesi Journal of Electrical EngineeringDesign of a Novel Fault Tolerant XOR Structure in Quantum Dot Cellular AutomataVolume 12 (2018)Issue 3, September 201820240215Design of a Novel Fault Tolerant XOR Structure in Quantum Dot Cellular AutomataENFarnazShabaniDepartment of Computer and IT engineering, Qazvin Branch, Islamic Azad University, Qazvin, IranSamiraSayedsalehiDepartment of computer engineering, South Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20240215Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the main substitutes for CMOS technology and it is used in implementation of different systems.

These quantities are sensitive to parameter variations; it is important to use a robust estimation system for estimating the rotor flux with respect to parametric uncertainties. In this paper the sliding mode speed sensorless vector control based on the Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) of double stator induction motor is presented. First, the models of the double stator induction motor and the DVC are proposed. Second, the MRAS technique of the DSIM (Double Stator Induction Motor) is adopted. In order to ensure a robust sensorless control, the sliding mode technique for the estimation system was used. The results showed the presented estimator has a positive effect on the system behavior especially in changing the reference and/or the parameters variation.Majlesi Journal of Electrical EngineeringTorque and Stator Flux Ripples Minimization for Direct Torque Control of PMSM by using Space Vector ModulationVolume 12 (2018)Issue 3, September 201820240215Torque and Stator Flux Ripples Minimization for Direct Torque Control of PMSM by using Space Vector ModulationENOmarOuledaliLaboratoire LDDI unversity d'adrar, Algerialaboratoire ICEPS , Djillali Liabes University, Sidi Bel Abbes, Algeria0000-0003-3734-5398AbdelkaderMeroufelICEPS Laboratory, Djillali Liabes University, Sidi Bel Abbes, AlgeriaPatriceWiraSaidBentoubaJournal Article20240215This paper presents a Direct Torque Control (DTC) strategy for the Permanent Magnets Synchronous Machine (PMSM).

Recently, DO method has got an important role in oral and maxillofacial RA; by using DO bone defects and skeletal deformities in different cranio-maxillofacial areas can be reconstructed, with better results and reduced effects in comparison to conventional methods. In DO by using a tension-stress principle, mechanical stimulations induce bone generation and biological responses of the tissue. A DO procedure starts with bone osteotomy and implementation of distractor, before proceeding with distraction, there is a latency period which allows the callus to form initially. In the distraction phase, the generated external force goes through the moving bone segment and gradually distract the callus. After distraction phase, there is a consolidation phase and then the device is removed. Most of current DO methods are applied by manual devices; low accuracy and reliability, discontinuous force, manually-operated, and associated problems for patient are major disadvantages of manual devices. Recent studies have revealed using an automatic continuous distractor could significantly improve the DO results while decreasing the existing problems. The purpose of this study is to design and simulate a novel automatic continuous distractor to be used in DO applications. The device contains mini stepper motor and gear-box, controller, mechatronic system, LCD, and keypad. Design’s specification and simulations results show this device has the capability to generate a continuous distraction force for a successful automatic DO.Majlesi Journal of Electrical EngineeringUtilization of a New Meta Heuristic Algorithm to Minimize Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)Volume 12 (2018)Issue 3, September 201820240215Utilization of a New Meta Heuristic Algorithm to Minimize Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)ENHamedHosseinniaDaryoushNazarpourDepartment of Electrical Power Engineering, Urmia UniversityJournal Article20240215Recently applications of multilevel inverter become more convenient in power electronic.

Muslims consider Quran as the most important book and so much effort has been made to protect the accuracy of this holy book. One of the proper methods to preserve Quran pages against distortion is using image watermarking in spatial domain. In digital watermarked images of Quran, the image information is used to detect and reconstruct distortions. The purpose of the presented method in this paper is to produce a robust image of the Holy Quran against cutting, destroction, and distortion using two-dimensional codes and (XOR) function. The watermarking algorithm in this method is able to recover distortions in addition to detecting them.
