This paper presents and output feedback fuzzy H(sup)$\infty$ control problem for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying delayed state. The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear systems with time-varying delayed state. Using a single quadratic Lyapunov function, the globally exponential stability and disturance attenuation of the closed-loop fuzzy control system are discussed. Sufficient conditions for the existence of fuzzy H(sup)$\infty$ controllers are given in terms of matrix inequalities. Constructive algorithm for design of fuzzy H(sup)$\infty$ controller is also developed. A simulation example is given to illustrate the performance of the proposed design method.

The effect of some formulation variables on the release rate of famotidine, a $H_2$ receptor antagonist, from cellulose matrices containing hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) in different ratios and types was investigated. The effects of tablet shape and compression pressure on dissolution rate of famotidine were studied. And the effect of the pH of dissolution media was also studied. Increase in the ratio of polymer to drug decreased the release rate of famotidine. Increase of the polymer viscosity also decreased the release rate. The release rate of famotidine was dependent on the pH of dissolution media. The release rate of drug was not much dependent on the compression pressure but dependent on the tablet shape and/or surface area. Consequently, the release rate of famotidine can be modified by changing the HPC contents, types of polymers with different viscosity grades or using appropriate fillers.

In this paper, we design an observer-based $H_{\infty}$ fuzzy controller for interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems under imperfect premise matching. The designed observer-based controller can effectively estimate the state of the system and make fuzzy system satisfy the $H_{\infty}$ disturbance attenuation performance. Using the slack matrix, the derived stabilization condition is expressed in terms of a linear matrix inequality. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a simulation example.

In this paper, we present a dynamic output-feedback receding horizon $H_{\infty}$controller for linear discrete-time systems with disturbance. The controller is obtained numerically from the finite horizon output-feedback $H_{\infty}$optimization problem, which is, in fact, hardly solved analytically. Under a matrix inequality condition on the terminal weighting matrix, the monotonic decreasing property of the cost is shown. This property guarantees both the closed-loop stability and the $H_{\infty}$norm bound. Then, we extend the proposed design method to a reference tracking problem and a problem for time-varying systems. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the performance of the proposed controller.

This paper deals with an $H_{\infty}$ output feedback controller design for uncertain singularly perturbed T-S fuzzy systems. Integral quadratic constraints are used to describe various kinds of uncertainties of the plant. It is shown that the $H_{\infty}$ norm of the uncertain singularly perturbed fuzzy system is less than $\gamma$ for a sufficiently small $\varepsilon$ > 0 if the $H_{\infty}$ norms of both the slow and fast subsystem are less than $\gamma$. Using this fact, we develop a linear matrix inequality based design method which is independent of the singular perturbation parameter $\varepsilon$. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed design method.

This paper deals with the design of a low-order H/sub ∞/ controller by using an iterative linear matrix inequality (LMI) method. The low-order H/sub ∞/ controller is represented in terms of LMIs with a rank condition. To solve the non-convex rank-constrained LMI problem, the recently developed penalty function method is applied. With an increasing sequence of the penalty parameter, the solution of the penalized optimization problem moves towards the feasible region of the original non-convex problem. Numerical experiments showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we solve the problem of designing a robust optimal controller which minimizes the H$\infty$-norm of the mixed sensitivity function matrix for linear multivariable systems. For a given minimized value, ${\gamma}$>o, an algorithm of finding all stabilizing controllers, such that the H$\infty$-norm of the mixed sensitivity function matrix is less than ${\gamma}$, is developed. The proposed algorithm, which is based on the model-matching and the interpolation theory, can be used for the H$\infty$-optimization problem.

This paper deals with the design of observer-based $H_{\infty}$ controller for linear time-delay systems. By adapting the model transformation and Lyapunov theorem, we presents a sufficient condition which meets the prescribed $H_{\infty}$ norm upper bound from the exogenous disturbances to the measured outputs. The conditions are expressed in terms of coupled two matrix inequalities, and the $H_{\infty}$ controller and the observer are obtained by checking the feasibility of two matrix inequalities. Finally, we shows the usefulness of our result by an example.

Purpose: This study examined the osteoinductive activity of demineralized human dentin matrix for nude mice. Methods: Twenty healthy nude mice weighing about 15 to 20 g were used for study. Demineralized human dentin matrix was prepared and implanted into the dorsal portion of nude mice (subcutaneous), which were sacrificed at two, four, and eight weeks after demineralized dentin matrix grafting and evaluated histologically by H&E and Masson trichrome staining. The specimens were also evaluated histomorphometrically. Results: The demineralized dentin matrix induced bone and cartilage formation independently in soft tissues. Histological examination showed bone-forming cells such as osteoblasts and fibroblasts at two, four, and eight weeks. Conclusion: These results suggest that demineralized human dentin matrix has osteoinductive ability, and is a good alternative to autogenous bone graft materials.

In this study, the fracture behavior of a thermoplastic-modified epoxy resin reinforced with continuous carbon fibers for two levels of fiber-matrix adhesion was performed. A carbon fiber with commercial sizing was used and also treated with a known silane, (3-glycidoxy propyl trimethoxysilane) coupling agent. Toughness was determined using the double cantilever test, together with surface analysis after failure using scanning electron microscope. The presence of polysulfone particles improved the fracture behavior of the composite, but fiber-matrix adhesion seemed to play a very important role in the performance of the composite material. There appeared to be a synergy between the matrix modifier and the fiber-matrix adhesion coupling agent.
