Adaptive Modified Minimally Switched Hysteresis Controlled Shunt Active Power...idescitation
The main focus of this article is to investigate the
effects of Adaptive control on the switching frequency and
Total Harmonic Distortion of a modified, minimally switched
hysteresis controlled shunt active power filter. Reference
current generation was done using Instantaneous real and
reactive power algorithm. Pulses to the minimally switched
grid interactive inverter in which only two switches are
controlled at a time, had been generated using a modified
hysteresis current controller. Use of Modified Hysteresis
controller results in reducing the switching loses to one-third
but results in increase in current THD than the conventional
hysteresis controller. To overcome this, pulses to the modified
hysteresis controller were generated employing adaptive
control by modifying pulses from a conventional hysteresis
controller. Using adaptive control instantaneous switching
frequency was reduced and maintained nearly constant and
THD was brought to the limits specified by the standards,
thus overcoming the disadvantage of conventional and modified
hysteresis controller which has variable switching frequency.
A comparison of Modified Hysteresis controller with and
without Adaptive control has been made, to show the reduction
in THD. The system was simulated using MATLAB-
SIMULINK.

Now-a-days, Internet has become an important part of human’s life, a person
can shop, invest, and perform all the banking task online. Almost, all the organizations have
their own website, where customer can perform all the task like shopping, they only have to
provide their credit card details. Online banking and e-commerce organizations have been
experiencing the increase in credit card transaction and other modes of on-line transaction.
Due to this credit card fraud becomes a very popular issue for credit card industry, it causes
many financial losses for customer and also for the organization. Many techniques like
Decision Tree, Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithm based on modern techniques like
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Fuzzy Logic have been already developed for
credit card fraud detection. In this paper, an evolutionary Simulated Annealing algorithm is
used to train the Neural Networks for Credit Card fraud detection in real-time scenario.
This paper shows how this technique can be used for credit card fraud detection and
present all the detailed experimental results found when using this technique on real world
financial data (data are taken from UCI repository) to show the effectiveness of this
technique. The algorithm used in this paper are likely beneficial for the organizations and
for individual users in terms of cost and time efficiency. Still there are many cases which are
misclassified i.e. A genuine customer is classified as fraud customer or vise-versa.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

THEORY
In electronic communication systems, it is often necessary to separate a specific
range of frequencies from the total frequency spectrum. This is normally
accomplished with filters. A filter is a circuit that passes a specific range of
frequencies while rejecting other frequencies. A passive filter consists of passive
circuit elements, such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors. There are four basic
types of filters, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-stop. A low-pass filter is
designed to pass all frequencies below the cutoff frequency and reject all frequencies
above the cutoff frequency. A high-pass is designed to pass all frequencies above the
cutoff frequency and reject all frequencies below the cutoff frequency. A band-pass
filter passes all frequencies within a band of frequencies and rejects all other
frequencies outside the band. A band-stop filter rejects all frequencies within a band
of frequencies and passes all other frequencies outside the band. A band-stop filter
rejects all frequencies within a band of frequencies and passes all other frequencies
outside the band. A band-stop filter is often is often referred to as a notch filter. In
this experiment, you will study low-pass and high-pass filters.
The most common way to describe the frequency response characteristics of a filter
is to plot the filter voltage gain (Vo/Vi) in dB as a function of frequency (f). The
frequency at which the output power gain drops to 50% of the maximum value is called
the cutoff frequency (fC). When the output power gain drops to 50%, the voltage gain
drops 3 dB (0.707 of the maximum value). When the filter dB voltage gain is plotted
as a function of frequency on a semi log graph using straight lines to approximate the
actual frequency response, it is called a Bode plot. A bode plot is an ideal plot of filter
frequency response because it assumes that the voltage gain remains constant in the
5. passband until the cutoff frequency is reached, and then drops in a straight line. The
filter network voltage in dB is calculated from the actual voltage gain (A) using the
equation
AdB = 20 log A
where A = Vo/Vi
A low-pass R-C filter is shown in Figure 1-1. At frequencies well below the cut-off
frequency, the capacitive reactance of capacitor C is much higher than the resistance
of resistor R, causing the output voltage to be practically equal to the input voltage
(A=1) and constant with the variations in frequency. At frequencies well above the
cut-off frequency, the capacitive reactance of capacitor C is much lower than the res-
istance of resistor R and decreases with an increase in frequency, causing the output
voltage to decrease 20 dB per decade increase in frequency. At the cutoff frequency,
the capacitive reactance of capacitor C is equal to the resistance of resistor R,
causing the output voltage to be 0.707 times the input voltage (-3dB). The expected
cutoff frequency (fC) of the low-pass filter in Figure 1-1, based on the circuit
component value, can be calculated from
XC = R

2𝜋𝑓𝐶 𝐶

Solving for fC produces the equation

2𝜋𝑅𝐶

A high-pass R-C filter is shown in figure 1-2. At frequencies well above the cut-off
frequency, the capacitive reactance of capacitor C is much lower than the resistance
of resistor R causing the output voltage to be practically equal to the input voltage
(A=1) and constant with the variations in frequency. At frequencies well below the cut-
off frequency, the capacitive reactance of capacitor C is much higher than the
resistance of resistor R and increases with a decrease in frequency, causing the
output voltage to decrease 20 dB per decade decrease in frequency. At the cutoff
frequency, the capacitive reactance of capacitor C is equal to the resistance of
resistor R, causing the output voltage to be 0.707 times the input voltage (-3dB). The
expected cutoff frequency (fC) of the high-pass filter in Figure 1-2, based on the
circuit component value, can be calculated from

2𝜋𝑅𝐶

6. Fig 1-1 Low-Pass R-C Filter
When the frequency at the input of a low-pass filter increases above the cutoff
frequency, the filter output drops at a constant rate. When the frequency at the
input of a high-pass filter decreases below the cutoff frequency, the filter output
voltage also drops at a constant rate. The constant drop in filter output voltage per
decade increase (x10), or decrease (÷10), in frequency is called roll-off. An ideal low-
pass or high-pass filter would have an instantaneous drop at the cut-off frequency
(fC), with full signal level on one side of the cutoff frequency and no signal level on the
other side of the cutoff frequency. Although the ideal is not achievable, actual filters
roll-off at -20dB/decade per pole (R-C circuit). A one-pole filter has one R-C circuit
tuned to the cutoff frequency and rolls off at -20dB/decade. At two-pole filter has
two R-C circuits tuned to the same cutoff frequency and rolls off at -40dB/decade.
Each additional pole (R-C circuit) will cause the filter to roll-off an additional -
20dB/decade. Therefore, an R-C filter with more poles (R-C circuits) more closely
approaches an ideal filter.
In a pole filter, as shown the Figure 1-1 and 1-2 the phase (θ) between the input and
the output will change by 90 degrees and over the frequency range and be 45 degrees
at the cutoff frequency. In a two-pole filter, the phase (θ) will change by 180 degrees
over the frequency range and be 90 degrees at the cutoff frequency.

PROCEDURE
Low-Pass Filter
Step 1 Open circuit file FIG 1-1. Make sure that the following Bode plotter
settings are selected: Magnitude, Vertical (Log, F=0 dB, I=–40dB), Horizontal (Log,
F=1 MHz, I=100 Hz)
Step 2 Run the simulation. Notice that the voltage gain in dB has been plotted
between the frequencies 200 Hz and 1 MHz by the Bode plotter. Sketch the curve
plot in the space provided.
f
AdB
8. Question: Is the frequency response curve that of a low-pass filter? Explain why.
=Yes it is the frequency response curve that of a low-pass filter, Low-pass blocks the
frequencies above the cutoff frequency and allows the frequencies below cutoff
frequency.
Step 3 Move the cursor to a flat part of the curve at a frequency of
approximately 100 Hz. Record the voltage gain in dB on the curve plot.
AdB = -0.001 dB
Step 4 Calculate the actual voltage gain (A) from the dB voltage gain (AdB)
A = 0.99988 ≅1
Question: Was the voltage gain on the flat part of the frequency response curve what
you expected for the circuit in Fig 1-1? Explain why.
= Yes, the voltage gain on the flat part of the frequency response curve what you
expected for the circuit in Fig 1-1 , because at below cutoff frequency, the VI is
approximately equal to Vo making the voltage gain approximately equal to 1.
Step 5 Move the cursor as close as possible to a point on the curve that is 3dB
down from the dB at 100 Hz. Record the frequency (cut-off frequency, fC) on the
curve plot.
fC = 7.935 kHz
Step 6 Calculate the expected cutoff frequency (fC) based on the circuit
component values in Figure 1-1.
fC = 7.958 kHz
Question: How did the calculated value for the cutoff frequency compare with the
measured value recorded on the curve plot?
= the calculated value for the cutoff frequency compare with the measured value
recorded on the curve plot is almost equal and has 0.29% difference.
9. Step 7 Move the cursor to a point on the curve that is as close as possible to ten
times fC. Record the dB gain and frequency (f2) on the curve plot.
AdB = -20.108 dB
Question: How much did the dB gain decrease for a one decade increase (x10) in
frequency? Was it what you expected for a single-pole (single R-C) low-pass filter?
= The dB gain decrease for a one decade increase (x10) in frequency is 17.11 dB
decrease per decade increase in frequency.
It is expected for a single-pole (single R-C) low-pass filter because above frequency
the output voltage decreases 20dB/decade increase in frequency; 17.11 dB is almost
20 dB per decade.
Step 8 Click “Phase” on the Bode plotter to plot the phase curve. Make sure that
the vertical axis initial value (1) is -90 and the final value (F) is 0. Run the simulation
again. You are looking at the phase difference (θ) between the filter input and output
as a function of frequency (f). Sketch the curve plot in the space provided.
Step 9 Move the cursor to approximately 100 Hz and 1 MHz and record the
phase (θ) in degrees on the curve plot for each frequency (f). Next, move the cursor
f
θ
10. as close as possible on the curve to the cutoff frequency (fC) and phase (θ) on the
curve plot.
@100 Hz: θ = –0.72o
@1MHz: θ = –89.544o
@fC: θ = –44.917o
Question: Was the phase at the cutoff frequency what you expected for a singles-
pole (single R-C) low-pass filter? Did the phase change with frequency? Is this
expected for an R-C low-pass filter?
= The phase at the cutoff frequency is expected for a singles-pole (single R-C) low-
pass filter. The phase changes between the input and output. It is expected for R-C
low-pass filter because the input and the output change 88.824 degrees or 90 degrees
on the frequency range and 44.917 degrees or 45 degrees.
Step 10 Change the value of resistor R to 2 kΩ in Fig 1-1. Click “Magnitude” on
the Bode plotter. Run the simulation. Measure the cutoff frequency (fC) and record
your answer.
fC = 4.049 kHz
Question: Did the cutoff frequency changes? Did the dB per decade roll-off changes?
Explain.
= The cutoff changes, it decreases as the resistance increases. The dB per decade
roll-off did not change. The single pole’s roll-off will always approach 20 dB per
decade in the limit of high frequency even if the resistance changes.
Step 11 Change the value of capacitor C is 0.04 µF in Figure 1-1. Run the
simulation. Measure the new cutoff frequency (fC) and record your answer.
fC = 4.049 kHz
11. Question: Did the cutoff frequency change? Did the dB per decade roll-off change?
Explain.
= The cutoff changes, it decreases as the capacitance increases. On the other hand
the dB per decade roll-off did not change. The single pole’s roll-off will always
approach 20 dB per decade in the limit of high frequency even if the capacitance
changes.
High-Pass Filter
Step 12 Open circuit file FIG 1-2. Make sure that the following Bode plotter
settings are selected: Magnitude, Vertical (Log, F=0 dB, I=–40dB), Horizontal (Log,
F=1 MHz, I=100 Hz)
Step 13 Run the simulation. Notice that the gain in dB has been plotted between
the frequencies of 100Hz and 1 MHz by the Bode plotter. Sketch the curve plot in the
space provided.
Question: Is the frequency response curve that of a high-pass filter? Explain why.
= It is the frequency response curve that of a high-pass filter. This filter passes the
high frequency and blocks the low frequency depending on the cutoff frequency.

AdB
12. Step 14 Move the cursor to a flat part of the curve at a frequency of
approximately 1 MHz Record the voltage gain in dB on the curve plot.
AdB = 0 dB
Step 15 Calculate the actual voltage gain (A) from the dB voltage gain (AdB).
A = 1
Question: Was the voltage gain on the flat part of the frequency response curve what
you expected for the circuit in Figure 1-2? Explain why.
= Yes, the voltage gain on the flat part of the frequency response curve is expected
for the circuit in Figure 1-2 voltage gain on the flat part of the frequency response
curve what I expected frequencies well above the cut-off frequency VO equal to Vi so
the voltage gain A equals 1
Step 16 Move the cursor as close as possible to the point on the curve that is 3dB
down from the dB gain at 1MHz. Record the frequency (cutoff frequency, fC) on the
curve plot.
fC = 7.935 kHz
Step 17 Calculate the expected cut of frequency (fC) based on the circuit
component value in Figure 1-2
fC = 7.958 kHz
Question: How did the calculated value of the cutoff frequency compare with the
measured value recorded on the curve plot?
= The calculated value of the cutoff frequency compare with the measured value
recorded on the curve plot is almost equal with 0.29% difference.
Step 18 Move the cursor to a point on the curve that is as close as possible to
one-tenth fC. Record the dB gain and frequency (f2) on the curve plot.
AdB = -20.159 dB
Question: How much did the dB gain decrease for a one-decade decrease (÷) in
frequency? Was it what you expected for a single-pole (single R-C) high-pass filter?
13. = The dB gain decreases 18.161 dB per decrease in frequency. It is expected for a
single-pole (single R-C) high-pass filter because the frequencies below the cutoff
frequency have output voltage almost decrease 20dB/decade decrease in frequency.
Step 19 Click “Phase” on the Bode plotter to plot the phase curve. Make sure that
the vertical axis initial value (I) is 0o
and the final value (f) is 90o
. Run the simulation
again. You are looking at the phase difference (θ) between the filter input and output
as a function of frequency (f). Sketch the curve plot in the space provided
Step 20 Move the cursor to approximately 100 Hz and 1 MHz and record the
phase (θ) in degrees on the curve plot for each frequency (f). Next, move the cursor
as close as possible on the curve to the cutoff frequency (fC). Record the frequency
(fC) and phase (θ).
@ 100 Hz: θ = 89.28
@ 1MHz: θ = 0.456o
@ fC(7.935 kHz): θ = 44.738o
Question: Was the phase at the cutoff frequency (fC) what you expected for a single-
pole (single R-C) high pass filter?
= Yes, the phase at the cutoff frequency (fC) what I expected for a single-pole (single
R-C) high pass filter the input and the output change 89.824 degrees almost 90
degrees on the frequency range and 44.738 degrees almost degrees.

14. Did the phase change with frequency? Is this expected for an R-C high pass filter?
= Yes the phase between the input and output changes. It is expected in R--C high
pass filter.
Step 21 Change the value of resistor R to 2 kΩ in Figure 1-2. Click “Magnitude”
on the Bode plotter. Run the simulation. Measure the cutoff frequency (fC) and record
your answer.
fC = 4.049 kHz
Question: Did the cutoff frequency change? Did the dB per decade roll-off change?
Explain.
= The cutoff changes it decreases as the resistance increases. The dB per decade
roll-off did not change. The single pole’s roll-off will always approach 20 dB per
decade in the limit of low frequency although if the resistance changes.
Step 22 Change the value of the capacitor C to 0.04µF in Figure 1-2. Run the
simulation/ measure the cutoff frequency (fC) and record you answer.
fC = 4.049 kHz
Question: Did the cutoff frequency change? Did the dB per decade roll-off change?
Explain.
= The cutoff changes it decreases as the resistance increases. The dB per decade
roll-off did not change. The single pole’s roll-off will always approach 20 dB per
decade in the limit of low frequency although if the resistance changes.
15. CONCLUSION
I therefore conclude that: a simple passive Low Pass Filter and High Pass Filter, can
be easily made by connecting together in series a single resistor with a single
capacitor.
For Low-Pass Filter:
Low pass filter pass the signals with low frequency and attenuates the signals
with high frequency.
The voltage gain at well below the cutoff frequency is approximately equal to 1;
Vo = Vi.
Frequencies at well above cutoff the dB per decade roll-off decreases by 20 dB
per decade increase in frequency
The phase of low-pass between the input and the output changes 90 degrees
over the frequency range and 45 degrees at the cutoff frequency.
If the resistance or capacitance changes, the cutoff frequency also changes.
Cutoff is inversely proportional to the resistance and capacitance.
Roll-off not remain constant even the resistance and capacitance changes.
For High-Pass Filter
A high pass filter pass high frequency signals and attenuates low frequency
signals..
Voltage gain at well above the cutoff frequency is 1
High-Pass Filter frequencies below fC the dB per decade roll-off decreases by
20 dB per decade decrease in frequency.
In addition, the phase of high-pass between the input and the output changes
90 degrees over the frequency range and 45 degrees at the cutoff frequency.
If the resistance or capacitance changes, the cutoff frequency also changes.
Cutoff is inversely proportional to the resistance and capacitance.
Roll-off remain constant even the resistance and capacitance changes.
