This paper introduces an interconnect delay fault test (IDFT) controller on boards and system-on-chips (SoCs) with IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1500 wrappers. By capturing the transition signals launched during one system clock, interconnect delay faults operated by different system clocks can be simultaneously tested with our technique. The proposed IDFT technique does not require any modification on boundary scan cells. Instead, a small number of logic gates needs to be plugged around the test access port controller. The IDFT controller is compatible with the IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1500 standards. The superiority of our approach is verified by implementation of the controller with benchmark SoCs with IEEE 1500 wrapped cores.

Magnetic levitation systems are required to have a large operating range in many applications. As one method to solve this problem, Time Delay Control (TDC) is applied to a single-axis magnetic levitation system in this paper A reduced-order observer is utilized to estimate states excluding measurable states in the control law. The system consists of a square air-core solenoid and a circular permanent magnet attached on a plastic ball. Theoretical magnetic forces of the system are obtained on the basis of the location of the magnet around the solenoid. The magnetic levitation force is obtained by the experiment, and then compared with the theoretical one. As the results of the control experiments, the nonlinear controller (TDC : 1-2 ㎜) has a larger operating range than the linear controller (PD control : 1-1.4 ㎜), and is superior to linear. control in the robustness to the modeling uncertainty and the performance of the disturbance rejection.

An accurate knowledge of the AITs(autoignition temperatures) is important in developing appropriate prevention and control measures in industrial fire protection. The measurement of AITs are dependent upon many factors, namely initial temperature, pressure, vessel size, fuel/air stoichiometry, catalyst, concentration of vapor, ignition delay time. The values of the AITs used process safety are normally the lowest reported, to provide the greatest margin of sefety. This study measured the AITs of o-xylene+n-pentanol system from ignition delay time by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus. The experimental AITs of o-xylene and n-pentanol were $480^{\circ}C\;and\;285^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experiment AITs of o-xylene+n-pentanol system were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D.(average absolute deviation).

In this paper, a processing time and trafnc capacity analysis algorithm for RFID system using LBT-Random Searching scheme is proposed. Service time, carrier sensing time, additional delay time required for contiguous frequency channel occupancy, and additional delay time required for the contiguous using the same frequency channel are considered and the processing delay and frequency channel capacity are analyzed for the steady state operation of the system. The simulation results showing maximum capacity of the system and explaining the accuracy of the algorithm are provided.

This paper focuses on the problem of guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain linear delay systems with actuator failures. When actuators suffer "serious failure" the never failed actuators can not stabilize the system, based on switching strategy of average dwell time method, under the condition that activation time ratio between the system without actuator failure and the system with actuator failures is not less than a specified constant, a sufficient condition for exponential stability and weighted guaranteed cost performance are developed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, as an example, a river pollution control problem illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In large-scale systems, we frequently encounter the time-delay and the uncertainty, and these should be considered in the design of controller because these are the source of the degradation of the system performance and instability of system. In this paper, we consider the robust stability of the linear large scale systems with the uncertainties and the time-delays. The considered uncertainties are both structured uncertainty and the unstructured uncertainty. Also, the considered time-delays are time-varying having finite time derivative limits. Based on the Lyapunov theorem and the linear matrix inequality(LMI) technique, we present two sufficient conditions that guarantee the robust stability of the system. The conditions are expressed as the LMI forms which can be easily checked their feasibility by using the well-known LMI control toolbox. Finally, we show by two examples that our results are less conservative than the previous results.

We propose an intelligent predictive control approach for a nonlinear networked control system (NCS) with time-varying delay and random observation. The control is given by the sum of a nominal control and a corrective control. The nominal control is determined analytically using a linearized system model with fixed time delay. The corrective control is generated online by a neural network optimizer. A Markov chain (MC) dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) predicts the dynamics of the stochastic system online to allow predictive control design. We apply our proposed method to a satellite attitude control system and evaluate its control performance through computer simulation.

In this paper, we present implementation of backward movement control of truck-trailer vehicles using a fuzzy mode-based control scheme considering practical constraints and computational overhead. We propose a fuzzy feedback controller where output is predicted with the delay of a unit sampling period. Analysis and design of the proposed controller is very easy, because it is synchronized with sampling time. Stability analysis is also possible when quantization exists in the implementation of fuzzy control architectures, and we show that if the trivial solution of the fuzzy control system without quantization is asymptotically stable, then the solutions of the fuzzy control system with quantization are uniformly ultimately bounded. Experimental results using a toy truck show that the proposed control system outperforms a conventional system.

The switching system is designed and developed to satisfy the performance design objectives recommended by ITU for call processing capacity and quality of service(QOS), etc. When the results by actual measurement at the system testing phase do not satisfy the performance design objectives, however, an effort is required to improve the performance. This paper presents a method for improving QOS by modifying the application programs for the switching system. In the proposed method, the sequence chart related to a delay time for call connection is modelled using PERT(Program Evaluation and Review Technique) network. Then, the criticality index of a message is calculated using Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate which message's processing time to decrease in order to decrease the delay time and thus to improve QOS. The criticality index of a block is also calculated to identify those software blocks that significantly contribute to the delay time.
