The sampling process in electrical devices includes non-linear distortion which needs to be compensated to boost up the system efficiency. In this paper, a blind method is suggested for non-linear distortion compensation. The core idea is to leverage the sparsity of the signal to cope with the ill-posedness of the distortion compensation task. The proposed scheme is an iterative method based on out of support energy minmization where the support information is not available. An adaptive thresholding operator is used to give a rough approximation of the support according to the estimated signal at each iteration. Various simulation scenarios have validated the capability of the suggested...

Background: The cooling system is one of the important parts of new devices such as smartphones, servers, and other electrical devices. By employing the almost all heat transfer methods such as conduction, evaporation and condensation, heat pipes are the best choice to increase the heat transfer. The thermal conductivity of heat pipe is much higher than fins because they benefit from condensation and evaporation simultaneously. Methods: This study tries to present relative thermal conductivity base on temperature and length of a heat pipe in optimized geometry. To achieve this aim, unsteady, multiphase fluid was considered inside the heat pipe. Evaporation, condensation, and conduction were... 

Regarding the increasing number of electrical devices in the smart homes that leads to increase in total electricity consumption and cost, it is essential to use energy management methods to reduce the electricity cost. However, this can cause resident's dissatisfaction. Hence, it is important to define a method in which cost and dissatisfaction be optimized simultaneously. Among different services, an electric vehicle is the one that can be used as an energy storage system, so it can reduce the daily cost despite of increasing the total energy consumption. In this paper, we study the effect of the EV on the cost and dissatisfaction in our proposed method. © 2018 IEEE
