  • An automatic modal identification program is developed for continuous extraction of modal parameters of three cable-supported bridges in Hong Kong which are instrumented with a long-term monitoring system. The program employs the Complex Modal Indication Function (CMIF) algorithm for identifying modal properties from continuous ambient vibration measurements in an on-line manner. By using the LabVIEW graphical programming language, the software realizes the algorithm in Virtual Instrument (VI) style. The applicability and implementation issues of the developed software are demonstrated by using one-year measurement data acquired from 67 channels of accelerometers permanently installed on the cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge. With the continuously identified results, variability in modal vectors due to varying environmental conditions and measurement errors is observed. Such an observation is very helpful for selection of appropriate measured modal vectors for structural health monitoring use.

  • The purpose of this study to develop the air-conditioning system that adopts adaptive model as an indoor climate control logic for energy saving. The adaptive model using the ability of human thermal adaptation could be expected to alleviate the indoor set-point temperature compared with the past heat-balance model. Especially, in case of hybrid air-conditioning system coupled with natural ventilation and heating/cooling system, the adaptive model can be describe the thermal comfort of inhabitant who stay at hybrid system controlled buildings with accuracy. In this paper, the concept of adaptive model will be described and the results of a continuous measurement on the actual thermal experiences and behaviors of thermal adaptation for office worker will be reported.

  • For a GNSS receiver's robustness against RFI and the high accuracy of navigation solution in GNSS, interference source detection and mitigation are needed. In this paper, an adaptive lattice IIR notch filter is employed to track single-tone continuous wave and swept continuous wave interference signals, and an interference detection method is proposed. Furthermore, this paper presents interference source characterization algorithm using multiple ground stations' interference detection results. The measurement of the signal powers from each ground station is used to build weighting factors to estimate the type of the interference. The performance of interference detection algorithm is simulated for scenarios of GPS signal in the presence of single-tone continuous wave interference and swept continuous wave interference.

  • In this paper an identification of nonlinear continuous systems by using neural network is considered. The nonlinear continuous system is identified by two steps. At first, a linear approximate model of the continuous system with nonlinearity is obtained by IIR filtering approach. Then the modeling error due to the nonlinearity is reduced by a neural network compensator. The teaching signals to train the neural network is gotten by smoothing the measurement data corrupted by noise. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

  • This paper addresses the vibration mode shape measurement technique utilizing a Continuous Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer (CSLDV). The continuous scanning capability is added to the conventional discrete Laser Doppler Vibrometer by reflecting the laser beams on the surface of the object using two oscillating mirrors. The bow scanning resulted from the proposed scanning method is eliminated by feedback control. The velocity output signal from the CSLDV is modulated to give the spatial velocity distribution in terms of coefficients which are obtained from the Fast Fourier Transformation of the time dependent velocity signal. Using the Chebyshev series form, the analysis of the vibration mode shape techniques for straight Bine scanning and 2 dimensional scanning are presented and discussed. The performance of the proposed SLDV is presented using the experimental results of the vibration mode shape of a plate

  • A mathematical model was developed for a continuous re-actor in which free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) occurred. Elementary reactions considered in this study were initiation, propagation, termination, and chain transfers to monomer and solvent. The reactor model took into account the density change of the reactor contents and the gel effect. A control system was designed for a continuous reactor using extended Kalman filter (EKF) based non-linear model predictive controller (NLMPC) to control the conversion and the weight average molecular weight of the polymer product. Control input variables were the jacket inlet temperature and the feed flow rate. For the purpose of validation of the control strategy, on-line digital control experiments were conducted with densitometer and viscometer for the measurement of the polymer properties. Despite the com-plex and nonlinear features of the polymerization reaction system, the EKF based NLMPC performed quite satisfactorily for the property control of the continuous polymerization reactor.

  • This study is about the effect of chatbot service quality on customer satisfaction and continuous use intention. Data collection was conducted for 13 days from October 23 to November 5, 2023, and a survey was conducted on customers who have used chatbot services. A total of 572 questionnaires were targeted, of which 545 valid data were used for analysis, excluding those that responded insincerely or did not meet the purpose of the study. The analysis results of this study are as follows: First, chatbot service quality partially had a significant effect on satisfaction. Second, customer satisfaction had a significant effect on continuous use intention. Therefore, in order to have a positive impact on continuous use intention, it is necessary to focus on marketing strategies related to chatbot service quality. Also, research focusing on data analysis and performance evaluation is crucial for enhancing chatbot services, necessitating studies that address real-time changes. Through sophisticated data analysis and variable measurement, chatbot services can be effectively improved, leading to enhanced customer satisfaction.

  • A nondestructive moisture measurement technique has been applied to improve the previous moisture measurement method in the building research. The experiment was done in free space using horns since it is the key element for continuous and non-destructive measurement. For this purpose a microwave bridge type analyzer at the frequency of 9.5 GHz was used to determine the moisture content of sands in the range of 1~12%. From this, the representative calibration curves were obtained. This shows that moisture measurement technique using microwave is applicabe to the measurement of moisture in non-metallic materials such as coal, pulp, foods, building materials, etc.
