  • The multi-layer neural network that has broadly been utilized in designing the controller of robot manipulator possesses the desirable characteristics of learning capacity, by which the uncertain variation of the dynamic parameters of robot can be handled adaptively, and parallel distributed processing that makes it possible to control on real-time. However the error back propagation algorithm that has been utilized popularly in the learning of the multi-layer neural network has the problem of its slow convergencs speed. In this paper, an approach to improve the convergence speed is proposed using fuzzy logic that can effectively handle the uncertain and fuzzy informations by linguistic level. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by computer simulation of PUMA 560 robot manipulator.

  • We have developed CUDA-enabled version of a general purpose molecular dynamics simulation code for GPU. Implementation details including parallelization scheme and performance optimization are described. Here we have focused on the non-bonded force calculation because it is most time consuming part in molecular dynamics simulation. Timing results using CUDA-enabled and CPU versions were obtained and compared for a biomolecular system containing 23558 atoms. CUDA-enabled versions were found to be faster than CPU version. This suggests that GPU could be a useful hardware for molecular dynamics simulation.

  • Speckle photography is a very useful method for measuring in-plane surface displacement. In its basic form, the object to be studied is illuminated with a divergent laser beam, and a double exposure photograph of the object is recorded, on a fine-grain film or plate, before and after the object is deformed, The magnitude and the direction of the displacement can then be obtained by measuring the spacing and the direction of the Young's fringe, which is produced by probing the developed negative with an unexpaned laser beam, and consists of a pattern of parallel equi-spaced dark bands. In this paper, a hybrid optical and electronic image processing is described-Young's fringe on the viewing screen is observed by a TV-camera and the 2-D video signal is converted from analog to digital and transfered to the computer where the spacing and direction of the fringes are calculated. Several examples of application show that the displacement magnitude and direction can be determined with an accuracy of $0.1{\mu}m\;and\;0.1^{\circ}$ respectively.

  • We propose the Generalized Binary Second-order Recurrent Neural Networks(GBSRNNf) being equivalent to regular grammars and ?how the implementation of lexical analyzer recognizing the regular languages by using it. All the equivalent representations of regular grammars can be implemented in circuits by using GSBRNN, since it has binary-valued components and shows the structural relationship of a regular grammar. For a regular grammar with the number of symbols m, the number of terminals p, the number of nonterminals q, and the length of input string k, the size of the corresponding GBSRNN is $O(m(p+q)^2)$ and its parallel processing time is O(k) and its sequential processing time, $O(k(p+q)^2)$.

  • Power consumed by modern computer systems, particularly servers in data centers has almost reached an unacceptable level. However, their energy consumption is often not justifiable when their utilization is considered; that is, they tend to consume more energy than needed for their computing related jobs. Task scheduling in distributed computing systems (DCSs) can play a crucial role in increasing utilization; this will lead to the reduction in energy consumption. In this paper, we address the problem of scheduling precedence-constrained parallel applications in DCSs, and present two energy- conscious scheduling algorithms. Our scheduling algorithms adopt dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to minimize energy consumption. DVFS, as an efficient power management technology, has been increasingly integrated into many recent commodity processors. DVFS enables these processors to operate with different voltage supply levels at the expense of sacrificing clock frequencies. In the context of scheduling, this multiple voltage facility implies that there is a trade-off between the quality of schedules and energy consumption. Our algorithms effectively balance these two performance goals using a novel objective function and its variant, which take into account both goals; this claim is verified by the results obtained from our extensive comparative evaluation study.

  • This paper discusses the neural network application in the study on the obstacle avoidance of robot manipulator during the trajectory planning. The collision problem of two robot manipulators which are simultaneously moving in the same workspace is investigated. Instead of the traditional modeling method, this paper processing based on the calculation of joint angle in the cartesian coordinate with constrained condition shows the possibility of real time control. The problem of the falling into the local minima is cleared by the adaptive weight factor control using the temperature adding method. Computer simulations are shown for the verification.

  • Digital signal processing hardware based in RNS is currently considered as an important method for high speed and low cost hardware realization. This research designs and implements the method for conversion from a specific residue number system with moduli of the from $(2^k-1, 2^k, 2^k+1)$ to a weighted number system. Then, it simulates the implementation using a overlapped multiple-bit scanning method in the process of CRT conversion. In conclusion, the simulation shows that the CRT method which is adopted in this research, performs arithmetic operations faster than the traditional approaches, due to advantages of parallel processing and carry-free arithmetic operation.

  • Fuzzy system is capable of uniformly approximating any nonlinear function over compact input space. The applications of fuzzy system, however, have been primarily limited by the need for large number of fuzzy rules, in particular, for the high-order nonlinear system. In this paper, we propose the reconstruction methods of fuzzy systems, parallel type and cascade, based on the decomposition of some classes of high-order nonlinear functions. Using the both types appropriately, we can reduce the number of fuzzy rules geometrically. It can be applied to the fuzzy system that has an online adaptive structure. Two examples of adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control are shown in the computer simulations to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.

  • A two-dimensional pulsed doppler system for ultrasonic blood velocity doppler signals is studied and implemented. The second-order sampling method and serial data processing procedures are utillized in the sys- tem, which eliminates the untuning problems at phase channels in the quadrature detection method as well as in the channels of parallel data processing. rho digital signal processor used in this system allows a hardware savings and flexible design options. The efficiency of the various mean frequency estimators in the second-order sampling system is examined by computer simulation as a function of the intersequence sample delay time. The temporal delay for the quadrature component is changed from $1/(4f_o){\;}to{\;}3/(4f_o){\;}and{\;}5/(4f_o)$ where to is the center frequency of the transducer, It is found that autocorrelator is the optimum frequency estimator for the second-order sampling: with !he intersequence sample delay of $1/(4f_o){\;}to{\;}3/(4f_o){\;}and{\;}5/(4f_o)$. The qualitative variation and information proportional to blood velocity in the vessel system are obtained in the VIVO experiments.
