  • This work treat the modeling and simulation of non-linear dynamic behavior of a web winding process during traction. We designate by a winding process any system applying the cycles of unwinding, transport, treatment, and winding to various flat products. This system knows several constraints, such as the thermal effects caused by the frictions, and the mechanical effects provoked by metal elongation, that generates dysfunctions due to the influence of the process conditions. Several controllers are considered, including Proportional-integral (PI) and Backstepping control. This paper presents the study of Backstepping controls strategy of the winding system. Our winding system is simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK environment, the results obtained illustrate the efficiency of the proposed control with no overshoot, and the rising time is improved with good disturbances rejections comparing with the classical control law.

  • This is to provide basic information and technical data, supported by literature search, for use in designing and /or evaluating ventilation systems for broiler shelters. At first, the general design information including weather data, building requirements, ventilation requirements, and supplemental heating and cooling, was presented. Then, environment requirements for broilers, which are for temperature, humidity, air movement, radiant heat, were described and the optimal ventilation systems for broiler were developed.

  • Human's sight holds the most extents for recognizing information among other senses. If we make much better visualized environment for human, it will become more beneficial in person's emotion or body. Human is using a lot of display units in modern society. Basic hues ate Red, Green and Blue. Using these three colors, we can change hue sense and degree of brightness of display unit. If we control hue of unit to be suitable according to individual environment, we can feel comfortable or reduce stress. In this paper, we present Human-Friendly Intelligent Hue Control System(HFIHCS) that control hue of display unit using fuzzified factors related to human's emotion and environment. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated by questionnaire.

  • This paper deals with the problem of autolanding for aircraft under windshear environment for which the landing trajectory is given. It is well known that the landing maneuver in windshear turbulence is very dangerous and hard for the pilot to control because windshear is unpredictable in when and where it happens and its aerodynamic characteristics are complicated. In order to accomplish satisfactory autolanding maneuver in this environment, we propose a gain-scheduled controller. The proposed controller consists of three parts: PID controller, called baseline controller, which is designed to satisfy requirements of stability and performance without considering windshear, gain scheduler based on fuzzy logic, and safety decision logic, which decides if the current autolanding maneuver needs to be aborted or not. The controller is applied to a 6-DOF simulation model of the associated airplane in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm. It is noted that a cross wind in the lateral direction is included to the simulation model. From the simulation results it is observed that the proposed gain scheduled controller shows superior performance than the case of controller without gain scheduling even in severe downburst and tailwind region of windshear. In addition, touchdown along centerline of the runway is more precise for the proposed controller than for the controller without gain scheduling in the cross wind and the tailwind.

  • In this paper, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for curvilinear motions in an interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm to track a maneuvering vehicle on a road is investigated. Driving patterns of vehicles on a road are modeled as stochastic hybrid systems. In order to track the maneuvering vehicles, two kinematic models are derived: A constant velocity model for linear motions and a constant-speed turn model for curvilinear motions. For the constant-speed turn model, an UKF is used because of the drawbacks of the extended Kalman filter in nonlinear systems. The suggested algorithm reduces the root mean squares error for linear motions and rapidly detects possible turning motions.

  • Support Vector Machines (SVMs) is applied to a practical problem as one of standard tools for machine learning. The application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) and SVMs in action of mobile robot is investigated. A technique to decide the action of autonomous mobile robot in practice is explained in the paper, The proposed method is to find n basis for good action of the system under unknown environment. In multi-dimensional sensor input, the most reasonable action can be automatically decided in each state by RL. Using SVMs, not only optimal decision policy but also generalized state in unknown environment is obtained.

  • This paper analyzes the Monte Carlo localization (MCL) method, which estimates the pose of an indoor mobile robot. A mobile robot must know where it is to navigate in an indoor environment. The MCL technique is one of the most influential and popular techniques for estimation of robot position and orientation using a particle filter. For the analysis, we perform experiments in an indoor environment with a differential drive robot and ultrasonic range sensor system. The analysis uses MATLAB for implementation of the MCL and investigates the effects of the control parameters on the MCL performance. The control parameters are the uncertainty of the motion model of the mobile robot and the noise level of the measurement model of the range sensor.

  • In the context of increasing electric energy consumption in a data center, energy efficiency improvement is strongly emphasized. In a data center, electric energy is largely consumed by DC power supply system, which is based on a rectifier composed by multiple parallel converters. Therefore, rectifier efficiency must be improved for minimizing loss of DC power supply system. Rectifier efficiency can be modulated by load allocation to converters because converter efficiency depends on input AC power. In this paper, we propose a new control method to maximize rectifier efficiency. The method can control load allocation to converters by introducing active power converter control scheme and start-and-stop of converters. In order to illustrate optimal load allocations in a rectifier, a maximization problem of rectifier efficiency is formulated as a nonlinear optimization one. The problem is solved by Lagrangian relaxation method and the computation results provide the validity of proposed method.
