Systems and methods utilize a modified genetic algorithm for adapting an off-the-shelf audio system, such as in a high-end television, to a given, particular room or other physical location presenting a specific or unique auditory environment with a set of acoustic properties. An audio system is adapted to a given room by determining an IIR based EQ solution via iterative techniques, including an iterative technique based upon a genetic algorithm adapted for an audio frequency response equalization application. In a variant, an audio system is adapted to a particular room, adjust the EQ across a microphone's bandwidth while preserving the factory-calibrated EQ response across the remaining bandwidth.

An inverter system for mitigating oscillation of an electric motor that drives a load comprises a torque command generation module for receiving a commanded torque from an operator of a vehicle. A torque damping module is configured to receive the commanded torque and generating a commanded compensating torque to dampen any mechanical oscillation or resonance of the electric motor based on the observed rotational speed of the motor. The torque damping module further comprises a digital filter of order greater than one, a gain adjuster and a limiter.

Techniques and apparatus presented herein are directed toward monitoring an electric power delivery system to detect and locate a power generation event. A power generation event may include a tripped generator, a loss of a transmission line, or other loss of power generation. To detect the event, an analysis engine may receive and monitor input data. A detection signal may be generated based on the input data. Upon detecting the event, the analysis engine may determine a source and propagation of the event through the delivery system. Based on the source and propagation of the event, the analysis engine may determine the location of the event. The analysis engine may generate an overlay with the input data to provide the location and other information about the event to a user such that remedial action can be taken to resolve the event and restore the lost power generation.

The first sensor is configured to connect to sense at least one of voltage and/or current in a feeder connecting between the generator and a load. The system also includes a second sensor connected to provide feedback to the GCU for generator control. The second sensor is configured to sense at least one of voltage and/or current in a feeder connecting between the generator and the load. The first and second sensors are configured to connect to the feeder apart from one another with feeder impedance therebetween.

Embodiments of the disclosure implement an application of an adaptive filter bank that is used to characterize the heat transfer of a volume in a thermal system, to estimate temperature and power consumption, and to improve performance characteristics in applications including optimal temperature control and diagnostics. In some embodiments, the adaptive filter bank is an iterative solution, comprised of a collection of adaptive filters defined to consume incident signals, produce an aggregate reference signal, estimate an error relative to an observed primary signal, and modify thermal coefficients to converge on a solution. For example, the incident signals are comprised of properties related to active, passive, solar irradiance, and unobserved heat transfer. A reference signal is an estimate of a primary signal, related to the rate of heat transfer or temperature change. Thereupon, the thermal coefficients are modified in an adaptive process to include gradient descent, which minimizes estimation error.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide a repeater for beamforming a received signal at a millimeter wave (mmW) radio frequency via one or more scan angles or beamforming directions and then retransmitting and beamforming the signal at the mmW radio frequency. Repeaters may include analog and digital components for downconverting on the received signal to reduce a frequency of the signal from the mmW frequency to an intermediate frequency (IF) or baseband frequency, and then filtering the downconverted signal to reduce interference. The filtering may include digital filtering or a combination of analog and digital filtering, in which a set of filter coefficients for the digital filtering is selected based on beamforming parameters used to receive the signal, retransmit the signal, or both. The repeater may then upconvert the filtered signal back to the mmW frequency for the retransmission of the signal.

A signal density modulation (SDM) encoder includes a first subtractor, a sigma circuit and a multi-bit quantizer. The first subtractor is used for receiving an input signal. The sigma circuit is coupled to the first subtractor. The multi-bit quantizer, coupled to the first subtractor and the sigma circuit, is configured to generate an output signal. The sigma circuit or the multi-bit quantizer produces a first feedback signal to the first subtractor. The first subtractor performs a subtraction operation according to the first feedback signal and the input signal, and generates a delta signal. The sigma circuit performs an operation on the delta signal, such that the SDM encoder has a noise transfer function having a high pass filtering effect. The noise transfer function is a ratio of a quantization error brought by the multi-bit quantizer with respect to the input signal. The output signal has more than two levels.
