A control system design based on coupled nonlinear oscillators (CNOs) for a self-organized swarm system is presented. In this scheme, agents self-organize to flock and arrange group formations through attractive and repulsive forces among themselves using CNOs. Virtual agents are also used to create richer group formation patterns. The objective of the swarm control in this paper is to follow a moving target with a final group formation in the shortest possible time despite some obstacles. The simulation results have shown that the proposed scheme can effectively construct a self-organized multi-agent swarm system capable of group formation and group immigration despite the emergence of obstacles.

This paper deals with extending the variable natural oscillation frequency range of an active integrated FET oscillator. In this paper, we conform experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency is expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When the frequency difference is given to the oscillators in the two element antenna system, phase difference appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-element patch antenna arrays are composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas show good phased array characteristics. The range of the scanning angle is about $30^{\circ}$, and the radiation power is gradually increased from $50{\mu}W\;to\;200{\mu}W$. The radiation patterns we sharpened as the number of elements is increased.

In this study, Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to solve the nonlinear oscillators with damping. We have considered two strong nonlinear equations to show the application of the method. The Runge-Kutta's algorithm is used to obtain the numerical solution for the problems. The method works very well for the whole range of initial amplitudes and does not demand small perturbation and also sufficiently accurate to both linear and nonlinear physics and engineering problems. Finally to show the accuracy of the HPM, the results have been shown graphically and compared with the numerical solution.

A hair-pin shaped microstrip-line resonator and a dielectric resonator for injection-locked oscillators have been designed and fabricated for the comparative studying of their characteristics. In general, a commonly used dielectric resonator shows lower phase noise value than hair-pin resonator in the free-running mode. In the injection-locked mode, however, a hair-pin resonator is superior to the dielectric resonator; the wider tuning range, the 22% improved locking bandwidth, the lower noise effect, the short term stability, and the higher power level. The planar structure of a hair-pin shaped microstrip-line resonator will be easily applied to monolithic microwave integrated circuits.

In this paper, an approach to dynamic systems control is addressed based on exploiting the potential features of the new nonlinear neural oscillator. Neural oscillators have recently enabled robots to exhibit natural dynamics using their robustness and entrainment properties. To technically accomplish this objective, the neural oscillator should be connected to the robot joints under the sensory feedback. This also requires the neural oscillator to adapt to the non-periodic nature of arbitrary input patterns. However, even in the most widely-used Matsuoka oscillator, when an unknown quasi-periodic or non-periodic signal is applied, its output signal is not always closely entrained. Therefore, current neural oscillators may not be applied to the precise control of the dynamic systems response. We illustrate the enhanced entrainment properties of the new neural oscillator by numerical simulation and show the possibility for implementation to control a variety of dynamic systems. It is verified that the oscillator can produce rhythmic signals for generating actuator signals which can be naturally modified by incorporating sensory feedback to adapt to outer circumstances.

A varactor diode was utilized in order to expand variable range of the natural oscillation frequency of an active phased-array antenna. We have conformed experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency was expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When frequency difference was given to the oscillators in the two elements antenna system, phase difference was appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 5-elements patch antenna array was composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas showed good phased array characteristics. The experimental results are as follows that the scanning angle of the 2-elements array antenna is 28.6$^{\circ}$, the 3-elements array antenna is 29.4$^{\circ}$, and the 5-elements array antenna is 26.2$^{\circ}$.

This paper is intended to investigate interaction response of a train running over a suspension bridge undergoing support settlements. The suspension bridge is modeled as a single-span suspended beam with hinged ends and the train as successive moving oscillators with identical properties. To conduct this dynamic problem with non-homogeneous boundary conditions, this study first divides the total response of the suspended beam into two parts: the static and dynamic responses. Then, the coupled equations of motion for the suspended beam carrying multiple moving oscillators are transformed into a set of nonlinearly coupled generalized equations by Galerkin's method, and solved using the Newmark method with an incremental-iterative procedure including the three phases: predictor, corrector, and equilibrium-checking. Numerical investigations demonstrate that the present iterative technique is available in dealing with the dynamic interaction problem of vehicle/bridge coupling system and that the differential movements of bridge supports will significantly affect the dynamic response of the running vehicles but insignificant influence on the bridge response.

We performed frequency response measurements of four tuning fork crystal oscillators with different sizes and analyzed their measured electrical equivalent circuit parameters of R, L, $C_S$, and $C_P$ as functions of the linear dimensions, length, width, and thickness. We observed that R and L showed an decreasing behavior with increasing length while $C_S$, and $C_P$ showed an increasing behavior. Similar dependences of the electrical parameters on thickness were also observed. On the contrary, any noticeable dependence of these parameters on width has not been found.

Problems involved in the numerical analysis on the forced oscillation of nonlinear oscillators such a microbubble oscillation under ultrasound and Duffing oscillator were discussed. One of the problems is proper choice of the time scale of the driving force. which is related to the numerical artifacts due to the mismatch between the natural frequency of an oscillator(or bubble) and the characteristic frequency of the applied force. Such problem may occur in a nonlinear oscillator whose behavior is crucially dependent on the frequency of the applied force. The artificial resonance problem during the numerical evaluation of such nonlinear systems was also discussed.

We summarize the discrete variable representation method which is a simple numerical method enabling us to calculate the vibrational energies and wave functions of anharmonic oscillators. The ranges of its parameters well-performing for the calculation of fundamental and overtone transition energies are predicted by analyzing the model of Morse oscillator.
