This paper discovers a robust managerial strategy for a stochastic inventory of perishable products, where the model experiences changing factors including inner parameters and an external disturbance with unknown form. An analytical solution for the optimization problem can be obtained by applying the Hamilton-Bellman-Jacobi equation, however the policy result cannot completely suppress the oscillation from the external disturbance. Therefore, an intelligent approach named Radial Basis Function Neural Networks is applied to estimate the unknown disturbance and provide a robust controller to manipulate the inventory level more effective. The final results show the outstanding performance of RBFNN controller, where both the estimation error and control error are guaranteed in the predefined limit.

In a flexible multi-body dynamic system the typical topological optimization method for structures cannot be directly applied, as the stiffness varies with position. In this paper, the topological optimization of the flexible multi-body dynamic system is converted into structural optimization using the equivalent static load method. First, the actual boundary conditions of the control system and the approximate stiffness curve of the mechanism are obtained from a flexible multi-body dynamical simulation. Second, the finite element models are built using the absolute nodal coordination for different positions according to the stiffness curve. For efficiency, the static reanalysis method is utilized to solve these finite element equilibrium equations. Specifically, the finite element equilibrium equations of key points in the stiffness curve are fully solved as the initial solution, and the following equilibrium equations are solved using a reanalysis method with an error controlled epsilon algorithm. In order to identify the efficiency of the elements, a non-dimensional measurement is introduced. Finally, an improved evolutional structural optimization (ESO) method is used to solve the optimization problem. The presented method is applied to the optimal design of a die bonder. The numerical results show that the presented method is practical and efficient when optimizing the design of the mechanism.

The inverse kinematics of five-axis milling machines produce large errors near stationary points of the required surface. When the tool travels cross or around the point the rotation angles may jump considerably leading to unexpected deviations from the prescribed trajectories. We propose three new algorithms to repair the trajectories by adjusting the rotation angles in such a way that the kinematics error is minimized. Given the tool orientations and the inverse kinematics of the machine, we first eliminate the jumping angles exceeding ${\pi}$ by using the angle adjustment algorithm, leaving the jumps less than ${\pi}$ to be further optimized. Next, we propose to apply an angle switching algorithm to compute the rotations and identify an optimized sequence of rotations by the shortest path scheme. Further error reduction is accomplished by the angle insertion algorithm based an o special interpolation to obtain the required rotations near the singularity. We have verified the algorithms by five-axis milling machines, namely, MAHO600E at the CIM Lab of Asian Institute of Technology and HERMLE UWF902H at the CIM Lab of Kasetsart University.

In this paper, optimal tuning of a cross-coupled controller linked with the feedforward controller and the disturbance observer is studied to improve contouring and tracking accuracy as well as robustness against disturbance. Previously developed integrated design and optimal tuning methods are applied for developing the robust tuning method. Strict mathematical modeling of the multivariable system is formulated as a state-space equation. Identification processes of the servomechanism are conducted for mechanical servo models. An optimal tuning problem to minimize both the contour error and settling time is formulated as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem including the relevant controller parameters of the servo control system. Constraints such as relative stability, robust stability and overshoot, etc. are considered for the optimization. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimal tuning procedure, linear and circular motion experiments are performed on the xy-table. Experimental results confirm the control performance and robustness despite the variation of parameters of the mechanical subsystems.

In this paper, we study the problem to fit a piecewise-quadratic polynomial curve to points in the plane. The curve consists of quadratic polynomial segments and two points are connected by a segment. But it passes through a subset of points, and for the points not to be passed, the error between the curve and the points is estimated in $L^{\infty}$ metric. We consider two optimization problems for the above problem. One is to reduce the number of segments of the curve, given the allowed error, and the other is to reduce the error between the curve and the points, while the curve has the number of segments less than or equal to the given integer. For the number n of given points, we propose $O(n^2)$ algorithm for the former problem and $O(n^3)$ algorithm for the latter.

In this paper, we show new method to find error locations of 2 eight bit symbol errors for 2 error correcting Reed-Solomon decoder. New design is much faster and has much simpler logic circuit than the former design method. This optimization was possible by partitioning the 8 bit operations into 4 bit arithgmatic and logic operations. This Reed Solomon decoder can be used for data protection of almost all digital communication and consumer electronic devices.

A parallel manipulator has high stiffness and all the joint errors on the device are not accumulated at the end -effector unlike a serial manipulator. These are the reasons why the parallel manipulator has been widely used in many fields of industry. In the parallel manipulator, it is very important to predict the exact pose of the end-effector when we want to control the end-effector motion. Installation errors have to be determined in order to predict and control the actual position and pose of the end-effector. This paper presents an algorithm to find the whole 36 joint error components with joint clearance errors and measurement errors considered, when a link length measurement sensor is used and data more than 36 times are acquired for 36 different configurations. A simulation test using this algorithm is performed with a Matlab program which uses the Levenberg-Marquardt method that is known to be efficient for non-linear optimization.

Surrogate modeling is applied to a compressor blade shape optimization to modify its stacking line and thickness to enhance adiabatic efficiency and total pressure ratio. Six design variables are defined by parametric curves and three objectives; efficiency, total pressure and a combined objective of efficiency and total pressure are considered to enhance the performance of compressor blade. Latin hypercube sampling of design of experiments is used to generate 55 designs within design space constituted by the lower and upper limits of variables. Optimum designs are found by formulating a PRESS (predicted error sum of squares) based averaging (PBA) surrogate model with the help of a gradient based optimization algorithm. The optimum designs using the current variables show that, to optimize the performance of turbomachinery blade, the adiabatic efficiency objective is improved substantially while total pressure ratio objective is increased a very small amount. The multi-objective optimization shows that the efficiency can be increased with the less compensation of total pressure reduction or both objectives can be increased simultaneously.

A sustainability of electricity supply has emerged as a critical issue for low carbon green growth in South Korea. Wind power is the fastest growing source of renewable energy. However, due to its own intermittency and volatility, the power supply generated from wind energy has variability in nature. Hence, accurate forecasting of wind speed and power plays a key role in the effective harvesting of wind energy and the integration of wind power into the current electric power grid. This paper presents a short-term wind speed prediction method based on support vector regression. Moreover, particle swarm optimization is adopted to find an optimum setting of hyper-parameters in support vector regression. An illustration is given by real-world data and the effect of model regularization by particle swarm optimization is discussed as well.

Shape form focus (SFF) is a technique that reconstructs 3D shape of an object using image focus. Although many SFF methods have been proposed, there are still notable inaccuracy effects due to noise and non-optimization of image characteristics. In this paper, we propose a noise filter technique for noise reduction and genetic algorithm (GA) for focus measure optimization. The proposed method is analyzed with a statistical criteria such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and correlation.
