We propose a direct adaptive controller for a class of nonlinearly parametrized systems. A normalized output error is added to the previous control law to construct the proposed adaptive controller. The transient performance of the resulting closed-loop system can be guaranteed by suitably choosing a novel kind of Lyapunov function while the tracking performance of the adaptive control system is improved using the proposed algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated with computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 기계적 위치 제어계에서 다단계 뱅-뱅 액츄에이터의 비선형성에 의한 목표 위치에서의 리미트 사이클을 방지하는 제어방법을 제안한다. 다단계 뱅-뱅 액츄에이터의 선형화된 모델인 기술함수를 이용하여 비선형성을 보상한다. 강인성을 확보하기 위해 루프 형성 기법에 의한 H/sub .inf./ 제어기가 설계된다. 제안된 제어방법은 기존의 선형제어기보다 비선형성이 보상되어 사역대가 작아지므로 최소 제어 가능 구간을 줄일 수 있다. 1축 위치 제어계의 실험을 하여 제안된 제어방법이 리미트 사이클을 줄이고 제어정도를 향상 시키는데 유효함을 입증하였다.

Skin region detection in images is an important process in many computer vision applications targeting humans such as hand gesture recognition and face identification. It usually starts at a pixel-level, and involves a pre-process of color spae transformation followed by a classification process. A color space transformation is assumed to increase separability between skin classes and other classes, to increase similarity among different skin tones, and to bring a robust performance under varying imaging conditions, without any complicated analysis. In this paper, we examine if the color space transformation actually brings those benefits to the problem of skin region detection on a set of human hand images with different postures, backgrounds, people, and illuminations. Our experimental results indicate that color space transfomation affects the skin detection performance. Although the performance depends on camera and surround conditions, normalized [R, G, B] color space may be a good choice in general.

An accurate method is presented for flexural vibrations of sectorial plates having simply supported-free and free-free radial edges, when the circular edge is either clamped or simply supported. The classical Ritz method is employed with two sets of admissible functions assumed for the transverse vibratory displacements. These sets consist of : (1) mathematically complete algebraic-trigonometric polynomials which gurantee convergence to exact frequencies as sufficient terms are retained, and (2) comer functions which account for the bending moment singularities at re-entrant comer of the radial edges having arbitrary edge conditions. Accurate (at least four significant figures) frequencies and normalized contours of the transverse vibratory displacement are presented for the spectra of corner angles [90$^{\circ}$, 180$^{\circ}$(semi-circular), 270$^{\circ}$, 300$^{\circ}$, 330$^{\circ}$, 350$^{\circ}$, 355$^{\circ}$, 360$^{\circ}$ (complete circular)] causing a re-entrant comer of the radial edges. Future solutions drawn from alternative numerical procedures and finite element techniques may be compared with these accurate results.

A novel heart rate estimation algorithm is presented based on normalized least-mean-square (NLMS) algorithm. This paper presented a three-step processing scheme for estimating heart rate from PPG signal with motion artifacts. The proposed active noise cancellation algorithm has low computational complexity compared to the NLMS algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms perform similar with the previous algorithm under motion artifact noises.

Let $f=h+{\bar{g}}$ be a normalized harmonic mapping in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$. In this paper, we obtain the sharp radius of univalence, fully starlikeness and fully convexity of the harmonic linear differential operators $D^{\epsilon}{_f}=zf_z-{\epsilon}{\bar{z}}f_{\bar{z}}({\mid}{\epsilon}{\mid}=1)$ and $F_{\lambda}(z)=(1-{\lambda)f+{\lambda}D^{\epsilon}{_f}(0{\leq}{\lambda}{\leq}1)$ when the coefficients of h and g satisfy harmonic Bieberbach coefficients conjecture conditions. Similar problems are also solved when the coefficients of h and g satisfy the corresponding necessary conditions of the harmonic convex function $f=h+{\bar{g}}$. All results are sharp. Some of the results are motivated by the work of Kalaj et al. [8].

In 1997, H. Li [12] proposed a conjecture: if $M^n(n{\geqslant}3)$ is a complete spacelike hypersurface in de Sitter space $S^{n+1}_1(1)$ with constant normalized scalar curvature R satisfying $\frac{n-2}{n}{\leqslant}R{\leqslant}1$, then is $M^n$ totally umbilical? Recently, F. E. C. Camargo et al. ([5]) partially proved the conjecture. In this paper, from a different viewpoint, we study closed convex spacelike hypersurface $M^n$ in locally symmetric Lorentz space $L^{n+1}_1$ and also prove that $M^n$ is totally umbilical if the square of length of second fundamental form of the closed convex spacelike hypersurface $M^n$ is constant, i.e., Theorem 1. On the other hand, we obtain that if the sectional curvature of the closed convex spacelike hypersurface $M^n$ in locally symmetric Lorentz space $L^{n+1}_1$ satisfies $K(M^n)$ > 0, then $M^n$ is totally umbilical, i.e., Theorem 2.

Present study simulates oscillatory supersonic impinging jet flows using the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes code. To capture the salient features of flow oscillation and overcome the divergence during the initial transient period, several tests have been conducted for the grid and time step sizes. The results also show that the effects of the inlet flow condition at the nozzle exit and turbulence on the oscillatory behavior of supersonic impinging jets are negligible. Frequencies of the surface pressure oscillation obtained by the selected numerical method are in good accord with the measured impinging tones for various cases of nozzle-to-plate distance. Two seemingly different staging behaviors with nozzle-to-plate distance and nozzle pressure variations are found to correlate well if the frequency and distance are normalized by the length of the first shock cell.

This paper describes a low frequency driven electromagnetic energy harvester (EMEH) which consists of a thin flame resistant (FR-4) planar spring, NdFeB permanent magnets, and a copper coil. The FR-4 spring was fabricated using a desk computer numerical control (CNC) 3D modeling machine. Mathematical modeling and ANSYS finite element analysis (FEA) were used totheoretically investigate the mechanical properties of the spring mass system. The proposed EMEH generates a maximum power of 65.33 ${\mu}W$ at a resonance frequency of 8 Hz with an acceleration of 0.2 g (1 g = 9.8 $m/s^2$) and a superior normalized power density (NPD) of 77 ${\mu}W/cm^3{\cdot}g^2$.

In this paper, we present thermal characteristics of high-temperature measurement sensor using fiber Bragg grating(FBG), including peak reflectivity, FWHM bandwidth and various normalized refractive index change along temperature variation. The temperature stability of FBG temperature sensor can be changed by varying the refractive index change and grating length. The proposed FBG temperature sensor can measure up to about $600^{\circ}C$ and 1000 hours of heating time.
