MODIS LAI product has been one of key variable for analyzing the quantitative aspects of terrestrial ecology at global scale. This study was designed to validate MODIS global LAI product for regional application. To examine the quality of MODIS LAI data, we developed a reference LAI surface that was derived by relating the ground LAI measurements to Landsat ETM+ reflectance. The study area, the Kwangneung Experiment Forest in Korea, covers mixed deciduous and coniferous species of temperate forest. Ground measurements of LAI were conducted at 30 sample plots by using a photo-optical instrument during the growing season of 2002. Ground measured LAI data were then related to the ETM+ reflectance to produce a continuous map of LAI surface over the study area. From the comparison between the MODIS LAI and the reference LAI, it was found that the MODIS LAI values were slightly higher at the forestland. Considering the limitations of producing the reference LAI surface and the uncertainty of the input variable for the MODIS LAI algorithm, such small discrepancy mal not be significant.

In this study, a model and an analysis method for parameter design is presented a linear relation between the input signal and the ideal value of a performance characteristic. Furthermore, There presented a new performance measure, expected quality loss after adjustment, which is proved to be equivalent to Taguchi's SN ratio approximately. On the basis of this, a two-step optimization procedure is proposed for parameter design considering the signal factor and the quality characteristics with continuous variable. Proposed procedure and Taguchi two-stage procedure are compared.

In this paper, a watt-level 2.4-GHz RFCMOS linear power amplifier (PA) with pre-distortion method using variable capacitance with respect to input power is demonstrated. The proposed structure is composed of a power detector and a MOS capacitor to improve the linearity of the PA. The pre-distortion based linearizer is embedded in the two-stage PA to compensate for the gain compression in the amplifier stages, it also improves the output P1dB by approximately 1 dB. The simulation results demonstrate a 1-dB gain compression power of 30.81 dBm at 2.4-GHz, and PAE is 29.24 % at the output P1dB point.

At present, using of electromagnetic control valve (ECV) in external variable displacement swash plate type compressor is a common issue. Solenoid operated ECV controls vehicle air conditioning system through a pulse width modulation (PWM) input signal that supplied from an external source. Different port pressure controls the swash plate movement inside the compressor at certain angles that finally determines the refrigerant flow rate to the vehicle compartment for passengers comfort. In this paper, crankcase pressure flow (Pc flow) is calculated with some ECV samples with corresponding to amount of variable supply of current ranges from 0.20Amp to 0.95Amp.

A moving sliding surface(MSS) was proposed earlier for the second-order variable structure control system(VSCS). The MSS was disigned to pass arbitrary initial conditions, and subsequently moved towards a predetermined sliding surface by rotating and/or shifting. This methodology led to fast and robust control responses of the second-order VSCS, especially in a reaching phase. However, the moving algorithm of the MSS was too complicated to be employed to the high-order VSCS. To resolve this problem, a new moving algorithm based on the fuzzy theory is proposed in this paper. For the generalization of the MSS, the conditions for rotating or shifting are firstly investigated. Then the fuzzy algorithm is formulated by adopting the values of the surface function and the total discontinuity gain as input variables, and the variation of the surface function as output variable. The position control problem of an electrohydraulic servomechanism is adopted in order to demonstrate the efficiency and the feasibility of the proposed MSS associated with fuzzy algorithm.

Linearization of transducer characteristic plays a vital role in electronic instrumentation because all transducers have outputs nonlinearly related to the physical variables they sense. If the transducer output is nonlinear, it will produce a whole assortment of problems. Transducers rarely possess a perfectly linear transfer characteristic, but always have some degree of non-linearity over their range of operation. Attempts have been made by many researchers to increase the range of linearity of transducers. This paper presents a method to compensate nonlinearity of Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT) based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) method, Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) trained by Genetic Algorithm (GA). Because of the mechanism structure, LVDT often exhibit inherent nonlinear input-output characteristics. The best approximation capability of optimized ANN technique is beneficial to this. The use of this proposed method is demonstrated through computer simulation with the experimental data of two different LVDTs. The results reveal that the proposed method compensated the presence of nonlinearity in the displacement transducer with very low training time, lowest Mean Square Error (MSE) value and better linearity. This research work involves less computational complexity and it behaves a good performance for nonlinearity compensation for LVDT and has good application prospect.

A new neural oscillator has been designed and fabricated in an 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ double poly CMOS technology. The proposed neural oscillator consists of a nonlinear variable resistor with negative resistance as well as simple transconductors and capacitors. The variable negative resistor which is used as a input stage of the oscillator consists of a positive feedback transconductors and a bump circuit with Gaussian-like I-V curve. The proposed neural oscillator has designed in integrated circuit with SPICE simulations. Simulations of a network of 4 oscillators which are connected with excitatory and inhibitory synapses demonstrate cooperative computation. Measurements of the fabricated oscillator chip with a $\pm$ 2.5 V power supply is shown and compared with the simulated results.

This Paper describes the method of real time object tracking using variable searching window. Monitoring systems require real time object tracking in video, efficiencies depend on environment of monitoring target. To get a position of object using a difference between background image and input image, the system extracts contour and centroid of the object. This method track motion of object using variable searching window from size and position of object. The background imgaes and camera are limited as fixed environment. The test result of proposed method Is 17-23FPS, this shows more fast process speed than average(10-14FPS) of existing object tracking method.

In this paper the system dynamic influences in actuators with variable stiffness as contemporary used in robotics for safety and efficiency reasons are investigated. Therefore, different configurations of serial and parallel elasticities are modeled by dynamic equations and linearized transfer functions. The latter ones are used to identify the characteristic behavior of the different systems and to study the effect of the different elasticities. As such actuation concepts are often used to reach energy-efficient operation, a power consumption analysis of the configurations is performed. From the comparison of this with the system dynamics, strategies to select and control stiffness are derived. Those are based on matching the natural frequencies or antiresonance modes of the actuation system to the frequency of the trajectory. Results show that exclusive serial and parallel elasticity can minimize power consumption when tuning the system to the natural frequencies. Antiresonance modes are an additional possibility for stiffness control in the series elastic setup. Configurations combining both types of elasticities do not provide further advantages regarding power reduction but an input parallel elasticity might enable for more versatile stiffness selection. Yet, design and control effort increase in such solutions. Topologies incorporating output parallel elasticity showed not to be beneficial in the chosen example but might do so in specific applications.
