A hybrid navigation system is implemented to apply for a mobile robot. The hybrid navigation system consists of an inertial navigation system and a global positioning system. The inertial navigation system quickly calculates the position and the attitude of the robot by integrating directional accelerations, angular speed, and heading angle from a strap-down inertial measurement unit, but the results are available for a short time since it tends to diverge quickly. Global positioning system delivers position, heading angle, and traveling speed stably, but it has large deviation with slow update. Therefore, a hybrid navigation system uses the result from an inertial navigation system and corrects the result with the help of the global positioning system where an indirect feedback Kalman filter is used. We implement and confirm the performance of the hybrid navigation system through driving a car attaching it.

In this study numerical and experimental study on the spray atomization characteristics of a GDI injector is performed. To carry out numerical analysis, four hybrid models that are composed of conical sheet disintegration model, LISA model, DDB model, and RT model are used. The experimental results to evaluate the prediction accuracy of hybrid models are obtained by using phase Doppler particle analyzer and spray visualization system. It is shown that the prediction accuracy of hybrid model concerning spray developing process and spray tip penetration is good for all hybrid models, but the hybrid breakup models show different prediction of accuracy in the case of local radial SMD distribution.

Hybrid propulsion systems provide many advantages in terms of stable operation and safety. However, classical hybrid rocket motors have lower fuel regression rate and combustion efficiency compared to solid propellant rocket motor. The recent research efforts are focused on the improvement of volume limitation and regression rate in the hybrid rocket engine. The present study has numerically investigated the combustion processes in the hybrid rocket engine. The turbulent combustion is represented by the eddy breakup model and Hiroyasu and Nagle and Strickland-Constable model are used for soot formation and soot oxidation. Radiative heat transfer is modeled by finite volume method. To reduce the uncertainties for convective heat transfer near solid fuel surface having strong blowing effect, the Low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is employed. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the turbulent combustion processes in the vortex hybrid rocket engine.

In this paper, a novel error concealment, algorithm is proposed for the MPEG-4 video decoding. Apart from existing algorithms which fail to exhibit stable performance over various video sequences and error patterns, the proposed algorithm adopts a new hybrid scheme, which can achieve a consistent performance with reduced computational complexity. This algorithm is implemented on the basis of the MPEG-4 decoder, and the experimental results demonstrate that the new approach provides acceptable performance both subjectively and objectively at various bit error rates and video sequences.

This paper presents a system-of-systems (SoS) approach to the formal modeling of a cyber-physical system (CPS) for simulation-based analysis. The approach is based on a convergence technology for modeling and simulation of a highly complex system in which SoS modeling methodology, hybrid systems modeling theory, and simulation interoperation technology are merged. The methodology maps each constituent system of a CPS to a disparate model of either continuous or discrete types. The theory employs two formalisms for modeling of the two model types with formal specification of interfaces between them. Finally, the technology adapts a simulation bus called DEVS BUS whose protocol synchronizes time and exchange messages between subsystems simulation. Benefits of the approach include reusability of simulation models and environments, and simulation-based analysis of subsystems of a CPS in an inter-relational manner.

In this paper, an error-detection-coding-aided iterative hard decision interference cancellation (EDC-IHIC) scheme for multiple-input multiple-output systems employing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) for multi-packet transmission is developed and investigated. In the EDC-IHIC scheme, only packets identified as error-free by the EDC are submitted to the interference cancellation (IC) stage for cancellation from the received signals. Therefore, the possibility of error propagation, including inter-transmission error propagation, can be eliminated using EDC-IHIC. Because EDC must be implemented in systems that employ HARQ to determine packet retransmission, error propagation can be prevented without the need for additional redundancy. The results of simulations conducted herein verify that the EDC-IHIC scheme outperforms conventional hard decision IC schemes in terms of the packet error rate in various environments.

Collaborative filtering-based recommendation systems make personalized recommendations based on users' ratings on products. Recommender systems must collect sufficient rating information from users to provide relevant recommendations because less user rating information results in poorer performance of recommender systems. To learn about new users, recommendation systems must first present users with an initial item list. In this study, we designed and analyzed seven selection strategies including the popularity, favorite, clustering, genre, and entropy methods. We investigated how these strategies performed using MovieLens, a public dataset. While the favorite and popularity methods tended to produce the highest average score and greatest average number of ratings, respectively, a hybrid of both favorite and popularity methods or a hybrid of demographic, favorite, and popularity methods also performed within acceptable ranges for both rating scores and numbers of ratings.

In this paper, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for curvilinear motions in an interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm to track a maneuvering vehicle on a road is investigated. Driving patterns of vehicles on a road are modeled as stochastic hybrid systems. In order to track the maneuvering vehicles, two kinematic models are derived: A constant velocity model for linear motions and a constant-speed turn model for curvilinear motions. For the constant-speed turn model, an UKF is used because of the drawbacks of the extended Kalman filter in nonlinear systems. The suggested algorithm reduces the root mean squares error for linear motions and rapidly detects possible turning motions.

Machine learning in an uncertain or unknown environment is of vital interest to those working with intelligent systems. The ability to garner new information, process it, and increase the understanding/ capability of the machine is crucial to the performance of autonomous systems. The field of artificial intelligence provides two major approaches to the problem of knowledge engineering-expert systems and neural networks. Harnessing the power of these two techniques in a hybrid, cooperating system holds great promise.

This paper presents hybrid active noise control (HANC) systems which is based on the combination of feedforward and feedback ANC controllers. HANC systems use FIR filters and is based on primary noise regeneration principle and filtered-X LMS algorithms. HANC systems show better attenuation characteristics and residual spectrum. The order of adaptive filters used in HANC systems is lower than that of conventional feedforward and feedback ANC systems. A proposed HANC algorithm was implemented using a Taxas Instruments TMS320C31 digital signal processor for experimental verification.
