This paper presents the digital implementation of an optimal and robust VSS controller with sliding observer. Firstly, a discrete-time VSS control law which enables the system state to move into a sliding sector where the closed-loop system is stable is designed. Then optimal control theory is used to design an optimal sliding sector. Secondly, a sliding observer which provide robust state estimation against model-plant mismatches due to parameter uncertainties is designed for the sampled-data multivariable systems. Finally, modified sliding observer which effectively reduce chattering of state variables in state estimation was proposed. The proposed scheme was applied 10 a two degree of freedom inverted pendulum with passive joint to verify robust motion control. Computer simulation results confirm the viability of the proposed observer-based controller.

The Variable Structure System(VSS) will be of much intrest to educators and design engineers who wish to demonstrate and investigate sophisticated position control methods and their applications. This paper describes DC motor position control by means of VSS concept. The control scheme is derived, implemented and tested in the laboratory where IBM AT computer has been used as a digital controller to control a representative servo system. The control system schematic is given and sample results are shown for illustration. This experiment may serve as a basis for further application of VSS.

This research proposes a method for economic-statistical design of adaptive moving average (A-MA) charts. The basic idea of the A-MA chart is to accumulate previous samples selectively in order to increase the sensitivity. The A-MA chart is a kind of adaptive chart such as the variable sampling size (VSS) chart. A major advantage of the A-MA chart over the VSS chart is that it is easy to maintain rational subgroups by using the fixed sampling size. A steady state cost rate function is constructed based on Lorenzen and Vance (1986) model. The cost rate function is optimized with respect to five design parameters. Computational experiments show that the A-MA chart is superior to the VSS chart as well as to the Shewhart $\bar{X}$ chart in the economic-statistical sense.

A number of algorithm using the VSS(Variable Structure System) for uncertain dynamic system are developed. But, in these algorithms, the assumption that the uncertainties are bounded and their bounds are available to the designer is involved. And bounds on the uncertainties are an important clue to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. However, sometimes bounds on the uncertainties may not be easily obtained because of the complexity of the structure of the uncertainties. Therefore, a methodology by which the boundary values on the uncertainties can be easily obtained is required. The VSS proposed in this proposal employ the new adaptive VSS scheme for uncertain dynamic system being estimated on line. The resulting control law is simple and easy to apply to on line computer control. It can also suppress chattering and maintain good tracking precision even if unmodeled dynamics are considered. And, a new method using nonlinear switching surface is introduced so that the speed response is improved and the good transient response can be obtained. Simulation results are presented and show the advantage of the proposed adaptive VSS with nonlinear switching surfaces.

In this paper, we derive a simple robust nonlinear control scheme for n-link robot manipulators subject to parameter uncertainty. By using the theory of variable structure system(VSS) and taking advantage of the important property of the robot dynamics, the stability of the derived control scheme is proved. This scheme utilizes the desired trajectory outputs, which can be calculated a priori, instead of the actual joint outputs in the nonlinear compensation controller. So the amount of on-line calculations is largely reduced, and as a result, this scheme can be implemented much more efficiently.

The robust output tracking control problem of general nonlinear MIMO systems is discussed. The robustness against parameter uncertainties is considered. In this paper, we proposed the robust output tracking control scheme for a class of MIMO nonlinear dynamical systems using output feedback linearization method. The presented control scheme is based on the VSS. We assume that the nonlinear dynamical system is minimum phase, the relative degree of the system is r$_{1}$＋r$_{2}$＋…r$_{m}$$\leq$ n and zero dynamics is stable. It is shown that the outputs of the closed-loop system asymptotically track given output trajectories despite the uncertainties while maintaining the boundedness of all signals inside the loop. And we verified that the proposed control scheme is then applied to the control of a two degree of freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator with payload.d.

In this paper, we proposed the decoupling VSS controllers for a trajectory control of a two degrees of freedom SCARA type manipulator. We decoupled the position and velocity of a manipulator tip by using a nonlinear error functions. The reference inputs of the controller can be decided directly from the desired position and velocity. Simulation result is provided to verity the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

The global stability of model reference adaptive control system (MRACS) in the ideal case was resolved in the 1980's. Hoever the improvement of the transient, behaviour of MRACS has not been discussed sufficiently even in the ideal case. Only a few attempts have so far been made at the application of MRACS to the practical systems in contrast to the theoretical systematization. Therefore, when we consider the practical usage of MRACS it is necessary to develop an improved design scheme with respect to transient behaviour. In this paper, we propose two design schemes improving transient behaviour of MRACS by mollifying the input synthesis in the conventional design scheme of MRACS. We present a design scheme of MRACS in which we utilize the design approach of variable structure system(VSS). After describing the above design scheme, we also propose the improved design scheme in which we introduce the dead-zone decided by the magnitude of the output-error between the plant and the reference model. The effectiveness of the proposed two design schemes are shown through computer simulations. As the results, by using these methods, the convergence of the transient response is greatly improved in comparison with the conventional one.

ASIC(application specific integrated circuit) process is a set of various technologies for fabricating a chip. Generally there have been many researches for RTL design, synthesis, floor plan & routing, low power scheme, clock tree synthesis, and testability which are widely researched in recent. In this paper we propose a new methodology of power strap routing in basis of design experience and experiment. First the power strap for vertical VDD and VSS and horizontal VDD and VSS is routed, and then after the problems which are generated in this process are analyzed, we propose a new process for resolving them. For this, the strap guide is inserted to protect the unnecessary strap routing and dumped for next steps. Next the unnecessary power straps which are generated the first inserting process are removed, and the pre-routing is performed for the macro cells. Finally the resultant power straps are routed using the dumped routing guide. Through the proposed process we identified the efficient and stable route of the power straps.

In the general process of design for aerobic digestion, the design for field plant of which inflow pattern is continuous inflow is performed using the results from lab scale batch reactor. However, the recent researchers reported that the general designs were performed as over-estimated, Therefore, in this study, laboratory batch experiments were carried out at $20^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5 on the aerobic digestion of waste activated sludge at different solid levels. This treatise could consider the negligence about effective digestion periods the usage of VSS as solid concentration, and the effect of initial solid concentration of solid degration rate coefficient($k_d$) as reasons of the overestimated design, and showed the scheme of how to design for aerobic digestion from batch experiment.
