This study presents a model-based gain scheduling strategy for PI-based EGR controllers. The air-to-fuel ratio is used as an indirect measurement of the EGR rate. In order to cope with the nonlinearity and parameter varying characteristics of the EGR system, we proposed a static gain model of the EGR system using a new scheduling parameter. With the 810 steady-state measurements, the static gain model achieved 0.94 of R-squared value. Based on the static gain of the EGR system, the PI gains were robustly designed using quantitative feedback theory. Consequently, the gains of the PI controller are scheduled according to the static gain parameter of the EGR path in runtime. The proposed model-based gain scheduling strategy was validated through various operating conditions of engine experiments such as setpoint step responses and disturbance rejections.

This paper introduces a real-time flocking simulation framework through radial basis function(RBF). The proposed framework first divides the entire environment into a grid structure and then assign a vector per each cell. These vectors are automatically calculated by using RBF function, which is parameterized from user-input control lines. Once the construction of vector field is done, then, flocks determine their path by following the vector field flow. The collision with static obstacles are modeled as a repulsive vector field, which is ultimately over-layed on the existing vector field and the inter-individual collision is also handled through fast lattice-bin method.

In this paper, we propose a Dilated Convolution Gate Linear Unit (DCGLU) to mitigate the lack of sparsity and small receptive field problems caused by the segmentation map extraction process in sound event detection with weak labels. In the advent of deep learning framework, segmentation map extraction approaches have shown improved performance in noisy environments. However, these methods are forced to maintain the size of the feature map to extract the segmentation map as the model would be constructed without a pooling operation. As a result, the performance of these methods is deteriorated with a lack of sparsity and a small receptive field. To mitigate these problems, we utilize GLU to control the flow of information and Dilated Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) to increase the receptive field without additional learning parameters. For the performance evaluation, we employ a URBAN-SED and self-organized bird sound dataset. The relevant experiments show that our proposed DCGLU model outperforms over other baselines. In particular, our method is shown to exhibit robustness against nature sound noises with three Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) levels (20 dB, 10 dB and 0 dB).

In this paper, we have proposed and implemented a novel architecture which can be used to effectively design the modified Euclidean (ME) algorithm for key equation solver (KES) block in high-speed Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder. With polynomial expressions of newly-defined state variables for controlling each processing element (PE), the proposed architecture has simple input/output signals and requires less hardware complexity because no degree computation circuits are needed. In addition, since each PE circuit is independent of the error correcting capability t of RS codes, it has the advantage of linearly increase of the hardware complexity of KES block as t increases. For comparisons, KES block for RS(255,239,8) decoder is implemented using Verilog HDL and synthesized with 0.13um CMOS cell library. From the results, we can see that the proposed architecture can be used for a high-speed RS decoder with less gate count.

도시 침수의 발생과 규모는 도시 유역이 가지는 짧은 도달 시간으로 인하여 주로 시단위 이하의 짧은 지속시간의 강우의 극한 및 변동성에 따라 결정된다. 미래 기간에 대하여 도시 수문 시스템의 적정성을 평가하기 위해서는 기후변화에 따른 시단위 이하 강우의 특성을 살펴보아야한다. 그러나 기후변화 영향 평가 도구로 활용되는 기후 모형들은 대부분 일단위의 결과물을 제공하여 시단위 이하의 미세 규모 강우의 특성을 나타낼 수 없다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 기후 모형 모의 결과와 포아송 클러스터 강우 모형을 이용하여 미래 시단위 이하 강우 시계열을 모의하는 방법을 제안한다. 첫째로, 포아송 클러스터 기반 강우 생성 알고리즘과 폭풍우 재배열 알고리즘을 결합한 최신 모형을 선정하였다. 해당 모형은 광범위한 시간 규모에서 관측된 강우량의 주요 통계와 극값을 재현할 수 있는 모형이다. 그 다음 강우 모형에 적합시킬 관측 강우량 통계(평균, 분산, 공분산, 왜도, 우기 비율)를 계산하였다. 둘째, 강우 통계 간의 선형 관계를 도출하였다. 여기서는 클러스터에 있는 모든 관측소의 통계를 사용하여 회귀의 신뢰도를 높였다. 셋째, 강우 평균 조정을 위한 Change Factor는 제어(2000~2019년) 및 미래(2041~2070년) 기간의 기후 모형 자료를 사용하여 계산하였다. 넷째, 조정된 15분 강우 평균은 관측 평균에 Change Factor을 곱하여 계산하고 조정된 강우 평균과 통계 간의 관계를 사용하여 미래 강우 통계 세트를 추정하였다. 여러 통계 세트를 생성한 후 마지막으로 미래 통계에 강우 모형을 적합시켜 최종적으로 미래 시단위 이하 강우 시계열을 모의하였다. 이 방법은 CMIP6에 참여하는 기후 모델의 기후 예측 데이터를 사용하여 용산(415) 및 동래(940) AWS 관측소에 적용되었다. 두 관측소의 미래 강우 모의 결과, 시단위 이하 시간 규모에서 극값이 증가하는 추세를 보였다.

The complexity and expensiveness of water resources projects have made optimum operation and design by computer-based techniques of increasing interest in recent years. Water resources problems in real world need many decisions under numerous constraints. In addition there are nonlinearities in the state and return function. This mathematical and technical troublesome must be overcome so that the optimum operation polices are determined. Then traditional dynamic optimization method encountered two major-cruxes: variable discretization and appearance of constraints. Even several recent methods which based on the Differential Dynamic Programming(DDP) have some difficulties in handling of constraints. This paper has presented New DDP which is applicable to multi-reservoir control. It is intended that the method suggested here is superior to abailable alternatives. This belief is supported by analysis and experiments(New DDT does not suffer course of dimensionality and requires no discretization and is able to handle easily all constraints nonlinearity).

In this paper, a new integral variable structure regulation controller(IVSRC) is designed by using a special integral sliding surface and a disturbance observer for the improved regulation control of highly nonlinear robot manipulators with prescribed output performance. The sliding surface having the integral state with a special initial condition is employed in this paper to exactly predetermine the ideal sliding trajectory from a given initial condition to origin without any reaching phase. And a continuous sliding mode input using the disturbance observer is also introduced in oder to effectively follow the predetermined sliding trajectory within the prescribed accuracy without large computation burden. The performance of the prescribed tracking accuracy to the predetermined sliding trajectory is clearly investigated in detail through the two theorems together with the closed loop stability. The design of the proposed IVSRC is separated into the performance design and robustness design in each independent link. The usefulness of the algorithm has been demonstrated through simulation studies on the regulation control of a two link manipulator under parameter uncertainties and payload variations, in view of no reaching phase, no overshoot, predetermined response with prescribed accuracy, easy change of output performance, separation of design phase, and so on.

Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of most developing countries. In these countries, agriculture or farming is mostly done manually with little integration of machinery, intelligent systems and data monitoring. Irrigation is an essential process that directly influences crop production. The fluctuating amount of rainfall per year has led to the adoption of irrigation systems in most farms. The absence of smart sensors, monitoring methods and control, has led to low harvests and draining water sources. In this research paper, we introduce a 433 MHz Radio Frequency and 2G based Smart Irrigation Meter System and a water prepayment system for rural areas of Tanzania with no reliable internet coverage. Specifically, Ngurudoto area in Arusha region where it will be used as a case study for data collection. The proposed system is hybrid, comprising of both weather data (evapotranspiration) and soil moisture data. The architecture of the system has on-site weather measurement controllers, soil moisture sensors buried on the ground, water flow sensors, a solenoid valve, and a prepayment system. To achieve high precision in linear and nonlinear regression and to improve classification and prediction, this work cascades a Dynamic Regression Algorithm and Naïve Bayes algorithm.
