  • A fuzzy modeling method is proposed to build the dynamic model of a walking-beam reheating furnace from the recorded data. In the proposed method, the number of membership function on each variable is increased individually and the modeling accuracy is evaluated iteratively. When the modeling accuracy is satisfied, the membership functions on each variable are fixed and the structure of fuzzy model is determined. Because the training data is limited, in this process, as the number of membership function increase, it is highly possible that some rules are missing, i.e., no data in the training set corresponds to the consequent part of a missing rule. To complete the rulebase, the output of the model constructed at the previous step is used to generate the consequent part of the missing rules. Finally, in the real time application, a rolling update scheme to rulebase is introduced to compensate the change of system dynamics and fine tune the rulebase. The proposed method is verified by the application to the modeling of a reheating furnace.

  • As the consumer market in the mold, automation and aerospace industries grows, the demand for chemical machining using on electrochemical polishing increases. To enhance the surface roughness and gloss of the micro-needle, we have studied for an electrochemical polishing. Electrochemical polishing requires the chemical reaction of solution and material according to the electrolyte and electrode. In this study, sulfuric acid(30%), phosphoric acid(50%), and DI-water(20%)were used as the electrolytic solution, and the electrolytic solution temperature used $58^{\circ}C$. Electrochemical polishing was carried out in experimental conditions, and the micro-needle experiment was carried out from the basic experiment to obtain the experimental conditions. Experimental results show that as the voltage and current increase, the surface roughness improved and the gloss is improved. So, the best result for this experiment was obtained in condition 6, which improved micro-needle.

  • The transmission capacity of transmission lines is affected by environmental parameters such as ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction and so on. The environmental parameters can be measured by the installed measuring devices. However, it is impossible to install the environmental measuring devices throughout the line, especially considering economic cost of power grid. Taking into account the limited number of measuring devices and the distribution characteristics of environment parameters and transmission lines, this paper first studies the environmental parameter estimating method of inverse distance weighted interpolation and ordinary Kriging interpolation. Dynamic thermal rating of transmission lines based on IEEE standard and CIGRE standard thermal equivalent equation is researched and the key parameters that affect the load capacity of overhead lines is identified. Finally, the distributed thermal rating of transmission line is realized by using the data obtained from China meteorological data network. The cost of the environmental measurement device is reduced, and the accuracy of dynamic rating is improved.

  • In this paper, a lane detection and tracking algorithm based on vision sensors and employing a robust filter for inner edge detection is proposed for developing a lane departure warning system (LDWS). The lateral offset value was precisely calculated by applying the proposed filter for inner edge detection in the region of interest. The proposed algorithm was subsequently compared with an existing algorithm having lateral offset-based warning alarm occurrence time, and an average error of approximately 15ms was observed. Tests were also conducted to verify whether a warning alarm is generated when a driver departs from a lane, and an average accuracy of approximately 94% was observed. Additionally, the proposed LDWS was implemented as an embedded system, mounted on a test vehicle, and was made to travel for approximately 100km for obtaining experimental results. Obtained results indicate that the average lane detection rates at day time and night time are approximately 97% and 96%, respectively. Furthermore, the processing time of the embedded system is found to be approximately 12fps.

  • The semi-active optimal vibration control of nonlinear torsion-bar suspension vehicle systems under random road excitations is an important research subject, and the boundedness of MR dampers and the uncertainty of vehicle systems are necessary to consider. In this paper, the differential equations of motion of the coupling torsion-bar suspension vehicle system with MR damper under random road excitation are derived and then transformed into strongly nonlinear stochastic coupling vibration equations. The dynamical programming equation is derived based on the stochastic dynamical programming principle firstly for the nonlinear stochastic system. The semi-active bounded parametric optimal control law is determined by the programming equation and MR damper dynamics. Then for the uncertain nonlinear stochastic system, the minimax dynamical programming equation is derived based on the minimax stochastic dynamical programming principle. The worst-case disturbances and corresponding semi-active bounded parametric optimal control are obtained from the programming equation under the bounded disturbance constraints and MR damper dynamics. The control strategy for the nonlinear stochastic vibration of the uncertain torsion-bar suspension vehicle system is developed. The good effectiveness of the proposed control is illustrated with numerical results. The control performances for the vehicle system with different bounds of MR damper under different vehicle speeds and random road excitations are discussed.

  • Recently, interest in baseball has been increasing as the level of international baseball games, the popularity of domestic leagues, and the number of players entering the MLB has increased. In this paper, we propose a pitching system that can be applied to both professional and amateur baseball. The pitching system consists of a control module using MSB764T PLC, a pitching mechanism including AC motors and a ball feed rail, an HMI using the CHA-070WR model, inverter, etc. To pitch the breaking balls, the two AC motors each use an inverter to independently control the speed. The implemented pitching system was experimented on, investigating ball speed and ball movement according to RPM using the BUSHNELL Velocity Speed Gun. Experimental results on ball speed are similar to the theoretical data and the measured data. From the experimental data, it is confirmed that the damping coefficient value for the pitching ball is about 0.98. In the case of the breaking ball, the larger the difference between the speeds on the sides of the ball and the faster the ball speed, the larger the bending degree.

  • Recent Enterprise System has component driven real-time distributed architecture (RDA) and this kind of architecture should performed with satisfying strict constraints on life cycle of object and response time such as synchronization, transaction and so on. Microsoft's .NET platform supports RDA and is able to implement services including before mentioned time restriction and security service by only specifying attribute code and maximizing advantages of OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA). In this study, a method to automatically generate an extended model of essential elements in an enterprise-system-based RDA as well as the platform specific model (PSM) for Microsoft's .NET platform are proposed. To realize these ideas, the functionalities that should be considered in enterprise system development are specified and defined in a meta-model and an extended UML profile. In addition, after defining the UML profile for .NET specification, these are developed and applied as plug-ins of the open source MDA tool, and extended models are automatically generated using this tool. Accordingly, by using the proposed specification technology, the profile and tools can easily and quickly generate a reusable extended model even without detailed coding-level information about the functionalities considered in the .NET platform and RDA.
