1 Introduction
In motor drives, robotics, or other industrial
electronic applications, the use of power converters
is essential to improve the control and, therefore, the
efficiency of the studied system [17],[18]. Power
converters and power electronics circuits are
generally composed of power components with
different characteristics [17]. These components are
divided in two categories: the controlled
components and the uncontrolled components [17],
[19],[20]. The controlled components that are based
on semi-conductors like thyristors, Triac and
transistors need controlled signals with specified
waveforms in order to be applied on their controlled
terminals (base or gate) [17],[19]. Thus, each
component has its own control source. This paper
underlines the importance of the elliptical
trigonometric functions in generating different
waveforms by varying some parameters of a single
function. In a particular case, the Elliptic Mar and
the Elliptic Jes-x functions are chosen to be treated.
In fact, the elliptical trigonometry is an original
study introduced with new concepts [1],[2]. The
existed trigonometry (Circular trigonometry) is a
particular case of the elliptical trigonometry [6],[7].
The traditional trigonometry has an enormous
variety of applications in all scientific domains
[6],[7],[8],[9]. It can be considered as the basis and
foundation of many domains as electronics, signal
theory, astronomy, navigation, propagation of
signals and many others… [10],[11],[12],[13].
Particularly, the mathematical topics of Fourier
series and Fourier transforms rely heavily on
knowledge of trigonometric functions [10],[11] and
find application in a number of areas, including
statistics [12],[13].
In this paper, the new concept of the elliptical
trigonometry is introduced and few examples are
shown and discussed briefly. Figures and results are
drawn and simulated using Matlab/Simulink and
AutoCAD. A survey on the applications of this
trigonometry in the power electronics domains
presented in section 2. In the third section, the
angular functions are defined, these functions have
enormous applications in all domains, and it can be
considered as the basis of this trigonometry [1],[2].
The definition of the Elliptical trigonometry is
presented and discussed briefly in section 4. In the
fifth section, a survey on the Elliptical
Trigonometric functions is discussed and two
principal functions are presented. In the sections 6
and 7, two functions are studied and discussed
briefly with simulation on Simulink/Matlab, their
block diagrams are presented, their programming
parts and so their modeling circuits. Finally, a
conclusion about the elliptical trigonometry is
presented in the section 8.

2 A survey on the application of the
elliptical trigonometry in engineering
domain
The used controlled circuits for power transistors
(MOSFET, IGBT, etc) differ from those used for
Thyristors (GTO, Triac, etc). Designing and
modeling circuits for all these controlled
components taking into account their different
characteristics, take time, and realizing them
practically, take time and money. In this paper, for
each elliptical trigonometric function, one electronic
circuit is proposed to be used in simulation
(Labview, Matlab, Simulink etc). For a particular
case, in order to control the different existed power
components for the function Elliptic Mar (figure 1),
two parameters ′′ and ′′ are used as variable
inputs. The output will be the studied elliptical
trigonometry function.
Thus, the main goal of the Elliptical Trigonometry is
to produce a huge number of multi form signals
using a single function and by varying some
parameters of this function. For a particular case,
more than 12 different output signals can be
obtained by varying two parameters of the Elliptic
Mar function.

with its inputs and output.
3 The angular functions
In order to make a review on the elliptical
trigonometry, it is necessary to introduce the
definition of the angular functions. In fact, angular
functions are new mathematical functions that
produce a rectangular signal, in which period is
function of angles. Similar to trigonometric
functions, the angular functions have the same
properties as the precedent, but the difference is that
a rectangular signal is obtained instead of a
sinusoidal signal [14],[15],[16] and moreover, one
can change the width of each positive and negative
alternate in the same period. This is not the case of
any other trigonometric function. In other hand, one
can change the frequency, the amplitude and the
width of any period of the signal by using the
general form of the angular function.
In this section three types of angular functions are
presented, they are used in this trigonometry; of
course there are more than three types, but in this
paper the study is limited to three functions.
3.1 Angular function ()
The expression of the angular function related to the
(ox) axis is defined, for , as:
((+))=
󰇱+1  (41)
(4+1)

angular function becomes:

1  cos()<0
3.2 Angular function ()
The expression of the angular function related to the
(oy) axis is defined, for , as:
((+))=
+1  2/(2+1)/
1  (2+1)/<<(2+2)/

angular function becomes:
()=+1  sin()0
1  sin()<0
3.3 Angular function ()
α (called firing angle) represents the angle width of
the positive part of the function in a period. In this
case, we can vary the width of the positive and the

4 Definition of the Elliptical
Trigonometry
In order to study the proposed circuits, their block
diagrams and their simulations, it is necessary to
introduce the mathematical definition of the
elliptical trigonometry and its functions.
4.1 The Elliptical Trigonometry unit
The Elliptical Trigonometry unit is an ellipse with a
center O (x = 0, y = 0) and has the equation form:
(/) + (/)=1 (4)
With:
‘a’ is the radius of the ellipse on the (x’ox) axis,
‘b’ is the radius of the ellipse on the (y’oy) axis.
Fig. 5: The elliptical trigonometry unit.
It is essential to note that and must be
positive. In this paper, is fixed to 1. One is
interested to vary only a single parameter which is
’.
4.2 Intersections and projections of different
elements of the Elliptical Trigonometry on
the relative axes
From the intersections of the ellipse with the
positive parts of the axes () and (), define
respectively two circles of radii [] and [].
These radii can be variable or constant according to
the form of the ellipse.
The points of the intersection of the half-line [)
(figure 5) with the internal and external circles and
with the ellipse and their projections on the axes
() and () can be described by many functions
that have an extremely importance in creating plenty
of signals and forms that are very difficult to be
created in the traditional trigonometry.

part of the axe () that gives the relative circle of
radius "". It can be variable.

part of the axe () that gives the relative circle of

4.3 Definition of the Elliptical Trigonometric
functions ()
The traditional trigonometry contains only 6
principal functions: Cosine, Sine, Tangent, Cosec,
Sec, Cotan. [15],[16]. But in the Elliptical
Trigonometry, there are 32 principal functions and
each function has its own characteristics. These

functions give a new vision of the world and will be
used in all scientific domains and make a new
challenge in the reconstruction of the science
especially when working on the economical side of
the power of electrical circuits, the electrical
transmission, the signal theory and many other
domains [15],[17].
The functions (),(),() and
(), which are respectively equivalent to
cosine, sine, tangent and cotangent. These functions
are particular cases of the “Circular Trigonometry”.
The names of the cosine, sine, tangent and cotangent
are replaced respectively by Circular Jes, Circular
Mar, Circular Ter and Circular Jes-y.

4.5 Definition of the Absolute Elliptical
Trigonometric functions
()
The Absolute Elliptical Trigonometry is introduced
to create the absolute value of a function by varying
only one parameter without using the absolute value
“| |”. The advantage is that one can change and
control the sign of an Elliptical Trigonometric
function without using the absolute value in an
expression. Some functions are treated to get an idea
about the importance of this new definition. To
obtain the Absolute Elliptical Trigonometry for a
specified function (e.g.: () ) we must multiply
it by the corresponding Angular Function (e.g.:
() with ) in a way to obtain the
original function if is even, and to obtain the
absolute value of the function if is odd (e.g.:
|()|).
If the function doesn’t have a negative part (not
alternative) it will be multiplied by ((
)) to obtain an alternating signal which form
depends on the value of the frequency and the
translation value ”. By varying the last
parameters, one can get a multi form signals.

5 A survey on the Elliptical
Trigonometric functions
As previous sections, a brief study on the Elliptical
Trigonometry is given. Two functions of 32 are
treated; the others functions can be easily interpreted
using formulae from (5) to (20).
Elliptic cosine and Elliptic sine that appear in the
previous articles [1] and [2], are particular cases of
the Elliptic Jes and Elliptic Mar respectively.
For this study the following conditions are taken:
- =1
- >0 the radius of the ellipse on the ′ axis.
-
5.1 Determination of the Elliptic Jes function
The Elliptical form in the figure 5 is written as the
equation (4). Thus, given (5), the Elliptic Jes
function can be determined using the following
method. In fact:
()=
=
, it is significant to replace the
equation =(). in that defined in (4).

cosine function in the traditional trigonometry, the
Absolute Elliptic Jes is more general than the
precedent.
5.2 Determination of the Elliptic Mar
function
The elliptical form in the figure 5 is written as the
equation (4). Thus, given (8), the Elliptic Mar
function can be determined using the following
method. In fact:

6 Studying the function
,()
In this section, the Absolute Elliptic Mar, which is
defined in equation (31), is chosen to be treated. The
main goal of this study is to model and simulate the
function using Matlab and Simulink.
6.1 The block diagram of
,()
The block diagram of the function ,()is
illustrated in figure 6. There are three inputs
connected to this diagram, two variable parameters
"" and "", and one sinusoidal waveform (Circular
Mar or “sine”). "" is chosen to be a constant with
=1, so it can’t be considered as an input.

6.2 Modeling and simulating the function
,() using Matlab-Simulink
Consider =1, "" and "" are the controlled
inputs, The Absolute Elliptic Mar function is
obtained as an output. With three inputs, one can
obtain a single output, which can produce more than
12 different signals.

6.2.1 First case ()
From equation (30), two configurations are studied:
1. Consider  and ().
In this case, ()0. As "" is too small
number but non zero, therefore:

2. Consider = and ().
In this case, ()=0. As "" is too small
number but non zero, therefore:
󰇡
()󰇢=0. Thus the equation (30) becomes:
()=
 ()()
󰇡
 ()󰇢=0
Consequently: ()=

Thus, a rectangular signal is obtained.

In this case, an elliptic swollen form is obtained for
=2 (figure 9.a), and a rectified elliptic swollen
form is obtained for =1 (figure 9.b). The
importance of this signal is by obtaining an average
value greater than that of an absolute value of the
sinusoidal signal. Hence, the average of the signal
can be increased by varying only the value of one
parameter "".

From equation (30), two configurations are studied:
1. Consider ()

In this case, ()±. As "" is too large

()󰇢=1. It is much smaller than the

2. Consider =()
and ().
In this case, ()=±. As "" is too large

6.2.6 Determining the value of "" for a quasi-
triangular signal
The main objective of this part is to obtain a signal
closed to a triangular one. Therefore, the following
method is proposed in order to calculate the value of
"" for which the error between the desired signal
and the obtained one is minimal. This study is
limited to the interval 󰇣0;
󰇤.
1. consider the equation of a straight line:
=+ (36)
This line is supposed to contain the following two
points (= 0; =0) and (=
;=1).
Therefore, the expression (36) becomes: =
, it
is represented in the red color in the figure 13.
2. For the same interval 󰇣0;
󰇤, the angular function
() is equal to one, therefore the function (30)
becomes: ()=
 ()
󰇡
 ()󰇢, it is
represented in the blue color in the figure 13.
Fig. 13: represents the function () (in blue
color) and the straight line (in red color) in the
considered interval.
Fig. 14: represents the expression |()|
and two maximal errors to determine.
To obtain the minimal error, the difference between
the two functions must be smaller than a certain
value "", thus 󰇻() 󰇻=.
It is considered that for =
(the center of the
studied interval) the error ε is equal to zero. Thus,
for =
, the error =0,
󰇻󰇡
󰇢
󰇻=0
 (
)
󰇡
 (
)󰇢
=0=3=3
To calculate errors and presented in the figure
14, the derivative of must be equal to zero,
󰆒=󰇻() 󰇻󰆒=0
= 1.784%  =0.45085
= 7.375%  =1.31307
And the average error = 2.5062%
• The average error can be reduced by using another
method, for example for =3+0.24782, the
average error is reduced as the following:
= 5.55%  =0.6241
= 5.55%  =1.381;=2.157%
Figures 15.a and 15.b represent the waveforms of
the function ,() for =3, (quasi-
triangular signal for =2 and saw signal for =1).
a) =2;=3 b) =1;=3
Fig. 15: the waveforms of the function ,()
for =3
Practically, the value of the average error =
2.5% is insignificant in some applications, therefore
the obtained signal can be considered as a pure
triangular signal for =2 and a pure saw signal for
=1.

6.3 First conclusion
As presented previously, the Elliptic Mar function
takes different waveforms by varying the parameter
"". The same analysis can be treated using the
parameter "". Therefore, the same waveforms can
be obtained. Practically, instead of varying the value
of "" from 0 to + in a goal to obtain all
waveforms, by introducing "", one can change the
values of "" or "" form 0 to 1 in a way to obtain
the desired waveform. E.g.:
=
=.

the Elliptic Mar function can be also programmed

8 Conclusion
In this paper, an original study in trigonometry is
introduced. The elliptical unit and its trigonometric
functions are presented and analyzed. In fact the
proposed Elliptical Trigonometry is a new form of
trigonometry that permits to produce multiple forms

of signals by varying some parameters; it can be
used in numerous scientific domains and
particularly in mathematics and in engineering. For
the case treated in this paper, 32 elliptical
trigonometric functions are defined; only two
functions are analyzed and simulated using software
as Matlab-Simulink. In general, a connection cable
with specific transmission data protocol connects
any industrial system to the computer. One can use
the studied functions in order to generate control
signals in need for power components of the
industrial system.
The elliptical trigonometry functions will be widely
used in electronic domain especially in power
electronics. Thus, several studied will be improved
and developed after introducing the new functions
of the elliptic trigonometry. Some mathematical
expressions and electronic circuits will be replaced
by simplified expressions and reduced circuits.

... Important signals obtained using this function: Impulse train with positive and negative part, elliptic deflated, quasi-triangular, sinusoidal, elliptical swollen, square signal, rectangular signal… [40]. These types of signals are widely used in power electronics, electrical generator, signal processing and in transmission of analog signals [16][17], [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. ...
... The main goal of introducing these new window functions is to improve the convergence of the Fourier Series at the discontinuity. As we have seen, the shapes of the window functions using the Elliptical Trigonometry have variable shapes and we can regulate the shape in a way to improve the convergence and moreover to control the frequency of the signals that we want and that we don't want, the Elliptical Trigonometry has other applications such as [16][17] and [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. ...

The Elliptic Jes window forms are original studies introduced by the author in Mathematics and Signal Processing in 2012. They are based on an Elliptical Trigonometry function "Ejes" in which it can produce a large number of different signals and shapes by varying only one parameter. In this paper, the developed study is the application of the Elliptical Trigonometry in signal processing in which some formulae are introduced using the function "Ejes", these formulae has many advantages ahead the traditional window functions such as improving the convergence of the Fourier series at the discontinuity more rapidly compared to the traditional window functions, the proposed window functions are used to truncate the Fourier series with variable window shapes that keep the necessary information about the signal even after truncation. The proposed window functions are variable in form; they can take a huge number of different forms by varying only a few numbers of parameters. The proposed window functions can be used in both analog and digital design of filters. In fact, the General trigonometry and its sub-topics such as Elliptical Trigonometry can have also other applications in any scientific field that uses the trigonometry and it can improve all previous studies by replacing the traditional trigonometric functions such as cosine and sine by General trigonometric functions such as Gjes and Gmar or other functions.
... The main goal of introducing this new window function is to improve the convergence of the Fourier Series at the discontinuity. We have seen a brief introduction about the Elliptical Trigonometry in this paper, for additional information about the Elliptical Trigonometry and the Angular function please refer to the published papers [16][17] and [35][36][37][38]. ...

The Elliptic Jes window form 2 is an original study introduced by the author in Mathematics and in Signal Processing in 2012. Similar to other windows used in signal processing such as: Hamming, Hanning, Blackman, Kaiser, Lanczos, Tukey and many other windows, the main goal of introducing the Elliptic Jes window form 1is to improve the convergence of the Fourier Series at the discontinuity. The different points between the proposed window function and the previous ones are: -The proposed window function is variable in form; it can take more than 6 different forms by varying only one parameter.-It can help the Fourier series to converge more rapidly compared to the traditional ones. –It can be used in both analog design of filters and digital design of filters. –It is used to truncate the Fourier series with a variable window shape that keep the necessary information about the signal even after truncation. In fact, the Elliptic Jes window form 2 is an application of the Elliptic Trigonometry in Signal Processing. The Elliptical Trigonometry is an original study introduced also by the author in mathematics in 2004, and it has an ultimate importance in all fields related to the Trigonometry topics such as Mathematics, Electrical engineering, Electronics, Signal Processing, Image Processing, Relativity, Physics, Chemistry, and many other domains. The Elliptical Trigonometry is the general case of the traditional trigonometry in which an Ellipse is used instead of a Circle, so the Elliptical Trigonometry functions are much more important compared to the traditional trigonometry functions. Therefore, all topics related to the traditional trigonometry will be ultimately improved by using the Elliptical Trigonometry functions including Signal Processing and Specifically the design of windows and filters. As a consequence, the Elliptic Jes window form 2 will replace all traditional window functions.

The Angular functions are new mathematical functions introduced by the author, they produce rectangular signals, in which period is function of angles and not of time as the previous functions. Similar to trigonometric functions, the angular functions have the same properties as the precedent, but the difference is that a rectangular signal is obtained instead of a sinusoidal signal, and moreover, one can change the width of each positive and negative alternate in the same period. This is not the case of any other trigonometric function. In other hand, one can change the frequency, the amplitude and the width of any period of the signal at any position by using the general form of the angular function. In this paper, an original study is introduced. Thus, the definition of the original part is presented. The angular functions are also defined. These functions are very important in technical subjects. They will be widely used in mathematics and in engineering domains, especially in power electronics, signal theory, propagation of signals and many other topics. Moreover, the Angular functions are the basis of the Elliptical trigonometry and the rectangular trigonometry in which they are new domains introduced in mathematics by the author.

The General Trigonometry is a new trend of trigonometry introduced by the author into the mathematical domain. It is introduced to replace the traditional trigonometry; it has huge advantages ahead the traditional one. It gives a general concept view of the trigonometry and forms an infinite number of trigonometry branches and each branch has its own characteristics and features. The concept of the General Trigonometry is completely different from the traditional one in which the study of angles will not be the relation between sides of a right triangle that describes a circle as the previous one, but the idea here is to use the relation between angles and sides of a geometrical form (e.g.: circle, elliptic, rectangle, quadrilateral …) with the internal and external circles formed by the intersection of the geometrical form and the positive parts of x'ox and y'oy axis in the Euclidian 2D space and their projections. This new concept of relations will open a huge gate in the mathematical domain and it can resolve many complicated problems that are difficult or almost impossible to solve with the traditional trigonometry, and it can describe a huge number of multi form periodic signals. The most remarkable trigonometry branches are the "Elliptical trigonometry" and the "Rectangular trigonometry" introduced by the author and published by WSEAS. The importance of these trigonometry branches is that with one function, we can produce multi signal forms by varying some parameters. In this paper, an original study is introduced and developed by the author and some few examples are discussed only to give an idea about the importance of the General Trigonometry and its huge application in all scientific domains especially in Mathematics, Power electronics, Signal theory and processing and in Energy Economic Systems.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with relations between sides and angles of triangles. It has some relationship to geometry, though there is disagreement on exactly what that relationship is. For some, trigonometry is just a subtopic of geometry. The trigonometric functions are very important in technical subjects like Astronomy, Relativity, science, engineering, architecture, and even medicine. In this paper, the rectangular trigonometry is introduced in order to be in the future a part of the General trigonometry topic. Thus, the definition of this original part is presented. The rectangular trigonometric functions are also defined. The importance of these functions is by producing multi signal forms by varying some parameters of a single function. Different signals and forms are analyzed and discussed.

This paper presents a speed sensorless rotor flux estimation algorithm in a vector controlled induction motor drive. The proposed method is based on observing a newly defined state which replaces the unknown terms containing rotor flux and speed on right hand side of the state equation of the motor. A new mathematical model of the motor is derived after introducing the above mentioned sate. Rotor flux estimation is achieved using a modified Blaschke equation obtained after introducing the new state into the Blaschke equation. Rotor speed is computed using a simple equation derived using the newly defined state.

This paper presents a nonlinear generalised predictive control scheme for a squirrel cage motor without speed sensor. Some of the difficulties faced are due to uncertainties in the parameters measurements, high cost to obtain state measurements in addition to the inherently non-linear behaviour. The control scheme presented is composed of a positioning predictive control and an open loop observer used to obtain state measurements. The proposed control scheme allows a simple and straightforward implementation. The effectiveness of this control algorithm has been successfully verified through simulations.

In this paper a novel sensorless adaptive neurofuzzy speed controller for induction motor derives is formulated. An artificial neural network (ANN) is adopted to estimate the motor speed and thus provide a sensorless speed estimator system. The performance of the proposed adaptive neurofuzzy speed controller is evaluated for a wide range of operating conditions for induction motor. These include startup, step changes in reference speed, unknown load torque and parameters variations. Obtained results show that the proposed ANN provides a very satisfactory speed estimation under the above mentioned operation conditions and also the sensorless adaptive neurofuzzy speed controller can achieve very robust and satisfactory performance and could be used to get the desired performance levels. The response time is also very fast despite the fact that the control strategy is based on bounded rationality.

Book
This book initiates the study of rational trigonometry, and applies it to develop a purely algebraic form of Euclidean geometry valid over arbitrary fields. A new family of spread polynomials are introduced, which are similar to the Chebyshev polynomials but have a more remarkable factorization property. There are also many applications to engineering problems, to surveying and to pure geometry, such as the metrical relations in the Platonic solids and new equations for curves. The book is available in hard copy and e book form at wildegg.com.

Reliability has recently emerged from the quality concept. If quality represents the total of a product's qualities, which make it good for use according to the destination, the reliability represents the capacity of the product to maintain its quality during the entire usage time. Reliability is the quality of the product extended through time. Reliability, maintenance, availability and capacity related aspects have been treated distinctively up to one moment. Analytically, the reliability represents the probability that during a given period of time, a product will be flawless. The technological capability or reliability represents way in which a technological system may realize, on the entire process of fulfilling a mission, the corresponding technological performances for its objectives. A unitary approach, considering all the factors, in accordance to the operating conditions of technical systems, lays the fundaments of an interdisciplinary theory, called the Theory of safety during operation. The safety during operation, S, of a machinery or of a technological system represents the way it will fulfill its mission, being a function of availability A, reliability R, capacity C and maintenance M: S(t) = r[A(t);R(t);C(t);M(T)].

Recently, a new and powerful matrix decomposition method has been developed and used in image decomposition for computer vision. Themethod is recursive, and is based on non-iterative univariate truncations of two variable High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR). In each step, two vectors in the left and right domains of the target matrix are determined and used in reference vectors of the next step. Each initial reference vector's elements are identical and orthogonality is ensured in the construction. This work brings flexibility to the initialization of the reference vectors and increases the quality of the approximations via decomposition truncation. Certain numerical implementations are also presented for illustration.

A new and powerful method for matrix decomposition is developed in this work. It is similar to singular value decomposition and the main idea comes from the univariate approximation of a function, given on a planar grid's nodes, by two variable high dimensional model representation. The proposed method is less iteration dependent than the singular value decomposition and the components are determined via straightforward steps containing recursions. It seems to have more capabilities than the singular value decomposition as an alternative method. An illustrative application is also given.
