Publication number: 20240119264Abstract: This specification relates to an apparatus which stores a machine-learned model including a first neural network block including multiple convolutional neural network layers, a second neural network block including at least one dilated convolutional neural network layer, and a linear transformation block. The apparatus is configured to receive input data representing in-phase and quadrature signals of an input signal that is to be amplified by a power amplifier, to process the received input data using the first neural network block of the machine learned model to generate a first neural network block output, to process the received input data using the second neural network block of the machine learned model to generate a second neural network block output, and to combine, using the linear transformation block, the first neural network block output and the second neural network block output to generate a pre-distorted signal for amplification by the power amplifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Trung Kien Vu, Fei HU, Xue Quan XIONG, Antti NEIJONEN, Jukka Petteri TOLONEN, Jarkko Johannes SAVOLAINEN, Ziming WANG

Patent number: 9496716Abstract: An islanding detection apparatus minimizes a reduction in power quality and detects islanding when distributed generations are operated in parallel. Also, another islanding detection apparatus for parallel distributed generations synchronizes parallel distributed generations by periodically applying a reactive current at a half cycle. Further, another islanding detection apparatus for parallel distributed generations easily synchronizes parallel distributed generations even when inverters installed in the respective distributed generations are fabricated through different makers.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: KACO NEW ENERGY INC.Inventors: Kwang Seob Kim, Trung Kien Vu, San Kang, Min Jae Kim, Jae Yeon Choi

Patent number: 9297915Abstract: A vibration detector (100) is disclosed herein. In a first embodiment, the vibration detector (100) includes a support member (300, 302) arranged to vibrate, and a sensor (207) arranged to detect a vibration frequency of the support member (300, 302). The vibration frequency to be detected is dependent on the support member's mechanical structure, in which the support member's mechanical structure is mechanically reconfigurable to vary the vibration frequency to be detected by the sensor (207).Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2011Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: National University of SingaporeInventors: Chan Ghee Koh, Khac Kien Vu
