  • There are many researches to develop robots that improve its mobility to adapt in various uneven environments. In the paper, a hybrid mobile robot that can dock with the other robot and transforms between wheeled robot and legged robot is proposed. The hybrid mobile robot platform has docking device with a peg and a cup module. In addition, the robot is possible to walk and drive according to condition of the road. A navigation algorithm of the hybrid mobile robot is proposed to improve the mobility of robots using docking algorithm based on image processing on the broken road and uneven terrain. The proposed method recognizes road condition through PSD sensor attached in front and bottom of the robot and selects an appropriate navigation method according to terrain surface. The proposed docking and navigation methods are verified through experiments using hybrid mobile robots.

  • The heterogeneous network (HetNet) has been one of the key technologies in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) with growing capacity and coverage demands. However, the introduction of femtocells has brought serious co-layer interference and cross-layer interference, which has been a major factor affecting system throughput. It is generally acknowledged that the resource allocation has significant impact on suppressing interference and improving the system performance. In this paper, we propose a hybrid-clustering algorithm based on the $Mat{\acute{e}}rn$ hard-core process (MHP) to restrain two kinds of co-channel interference in the HetNet. As the impracticality of the hexagonal grid model and the homogeneous Poisson point process model whose points distribute completely randomly to establish the system model. The HetNet model based on the MHP is adopted to satisfy the negative correlation distribution of base stations in this paper. Base on the system model, the spectrum sharing problem with restricted spectrum resources is further analyzed. On the basis of location information and the interference relation of base stations, a hybrid clustering method, which takes into accounts the fairness of two types of base stations is firstly proposed. Then, auction mechanism is discussed to achieve the spectrum sharing inside each cluster, avoiding the spectrum resource waste. Through combining the clustering theory and auction mechanism, the proposed novel algorithm can be applied to restrain the cross-layer interference and co-layer interference of HetNet, which has a high density of base stations. Simulation results show that spectral efficiency and system throughput increase to a certain degree.

  • Overlay networks have been widely deployed upon the Internet by Service Providers (SPs) to provide improved network services. However, the interaction between each overlay and traffic engineering (TE) as well as the interaction among co-existing overlays may occur. In this paper, we adopt both non-cooperative and cooperative game theory to analyze these interactions, which are collectively called hybrid interaction. Firstly, we model a situation of the hybrid interaction as an n+1-player non-cooperative game, in which overlays and TE are of equal status, and prove the existence of Nash equilibrium (NE) for this game. Secondly, we model another situation of the hybrid interaction as a 1-leader-n-follower Stackelberg-Nash game, in which TE is the leader and co-existing overlays are followers, and prove that the cost at Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium (SNE) is at least as good as that at NE for TE. Thirdly, we propose a cooperative coalition mechanism based on Shapley value to overcome the inherent inefficiency of NE and SNE, in which players can improve their performance and form stable coalitions. Finally, we apply distinct genetic algorithms (GA) to calculate the values for NE, SNE and the assigned cost for each player in each coalition, respectively. Analytical results are confirmed by the simulation on complex network topologies.

  • This paper reviews past literatures relevant to fire-resistance properties of high strength concrete and investigates spalling mechanism of high strength concrete in fire. First, literatures were reviewed on spalling occurrence and fire-resistance methods. Second, a chemical change of concrete components in an elevated temperature was presented. Finally, the mechanism of the spalling occurrence and spalling resistance were examined in terms of hybrid fiber content. The focus of the experimental study as part of this research is to investigate the effects of fire on the variation of thermal properties of high strength concrete, which tends to be used in super tall buildings. This experimental study was devised to investigate the fire-resistance performance of high strength concrete containing hybrid fibers. A total of 48 test specimens were exposed to high temperature ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$, including room temperature (${\sim}20^{\circ}C$). Test results provide valuable information regarding fire-resistance properties of strength concrete with 100 MPa or greater.

  • Last few years, wireless personal area network (WPAN) has been widely researched for various healthcare applications. Due to restriction of device hardware (e.g., energy and memory), we need to design a highly-versatile MAC layer protocol for WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network). In addition, when an emergency occurs to a patient, a priority mechanism is necessitated for a urgent message to get through to the final destination. This paper presents a priority mechanism referred to as hybrid priority MAC for WBAN. Through extensive simulation, we show the proposed MAC protocol can minimize the average packet latency for urgent data. Thus, when patients have an emergency situation, our MAC allows adequate assistance time and medical treatment for patients. The simulation based on NS-2 shows that our Hybrid Priority MAC has the good performance and usability.

  • Resonating thermal lags of solid fuel with heat transfer oscillations generated by boundary layer oscillation is the primary mechanism of the occurrence of the LFI (Low Frequency Combustion Instability) in hybrid rocket combustion. This study was experimentally attempted to confirm that how the boundary layer was perturbed and led to the LFI. Special attention was also made on oxidizer swirl injection to investigate the contribution to combustion stabilization. Also the overall behavior of fluctuating boundary layer flow and the occurrence of the LFI was monitored as swirl intensity increased. Fluctuating boundary layer was successfully monitored by the captured image and POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) analysis. In the results, oscillating boundary layer became stabilized as the swirl intensity increases. And the coupling strength between high frequency p', q' diminished and periodical amplification of RI (Rayleigh Index) with similar frequency band of thermal lag was also decreased. Thus, results confirmed that oscillating axial boundary layer triggered by periodic coupling of high frequency p', q' is the primary mechanism to excite thermal resonance with thermal lag characteristics of solid fuel.

  • Due to its complexity and high diagnosis and treatment costs, heart attack (HA) is the top cause of death globally. Heart failure's widespread effect and high morbidity and death rates make accurate and fast prognosis and diagnosis crucial. Due to the complexity of medical data, early and accurate prediction of HA is difficult. Healthcare providers must evaluate data quickly and accurately to intervene. This novel hybrid approach predicts HA using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, Deep belief networks (DBNs) with attention mechanism, and robust data mining to fill this essential gap. HA is predicted using Kaggle, PhysioNet, and UCI datasets. Wearable sensor data, ECG signals, and demographic and clinical data provide a solid analytical base. To maintain consistency, ECG signals are normalized and segmented after thorough cleaning to remove missing values and noise. Feature extraction employs complex approaches like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Autoencoders to pick time-domain (MNN, SDNN, RMSSD, PNN50) and frequency-domain (PSD at VLF, LF, HF bands) characteristics. The hybrid model architecture uses LSTM networks for sequence learning and DBNs for feature representation and selection to create a robust and comprehensive prediction model. Accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC are measured after cross-entropy loss and SGD optimization. The LSTM-DBN model outperforms predictive methods in accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The findings show that several data sources and powerful algorithms can improve heart attack predictions. The proposed architecture performed well on many datasets, with an accuracy rate of 96.00%, sensitivity of 98%, AUC of 0.98, and F1-score of 0.97. High performance proves this system's dependability. Moreover, the proposed approach is outperformed compared to state-of-the-art systems.

  • Precise control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) over wide speed range is an engineering challenge. This paper considers the design and implementation of novel technique of high performance speed control for IPMSM using learning mechanism-fuzzy neural network(LM-FNN) and ANN(artificial neural network) control. The hybrid combination of neural network and fuzzy control will produce a powerful representation flexibility md numerical processing capability. Also, this paper proposes speed control of IPMSM using LM-FNN and estimation of speed using artificial neural network controller. The back propagation neural network technique is used to provide a real time adaptive estimation of the motor speed. 'The error between the desired state variable and the actual one is back-propagated to adjust the rotor speed, so that the actual state variable will coincide with the desired one. The back propagation mechanism is easy to derive and the estimated speed tracks precisely the actual motor speed. Analysis results to verify the effectiveness of the new hybrid intelligent control proposed in this paper.

  • New hybrid composite material CPAL(Carbon Patched ALuminum alloy), an Al2024-T3 plate doubleside reinforced with carbon/epoxy laminates were made. Fatigue crack growth tests were carried out at R=0.2, 0.5 in the CPAL specimens. The retardation mechanism and behavior of fatigue crack growth were examined basing on investigation of the crack and the delamination using a X-Ray and a ultrasonic C-Scan. The fatigue crack growth rates of CPAL specimens were remarkedly retarded compared to that of the Al2024-T3 specimen. The retardations amounts of the fatigue crack growth rates get higher in $0^{\circ}$/$90^{\circ}$ CPAL specimen than in $\pm$$45^{\circ}$ CPAL specimen, and get higher at R=0.2 than at R=0.5. The retardation of fatigue crack growth rates in CPAL specimen was generated by the crack bridging mechanism, that is the behavior that the fibers in CFRP layers decrease the COD in the Al2024-T3 plate.
