In order to remove the assumption of full state availability which is one of the major difficulties with the practical realization of variable structure control systems,a new switching function with a dynamic structure is proposed. And the control performances of the output feedback variable structure control systems with the dynamic switching function are evaluated through simulation studies. The proposed dynamic switching function is driven by small number of measured output and input variables while conventional static switching function requires full state information. Therefore, the proposition of the dynamic swiching function makes practical implementation of output feedback variable structure control scheme possible for the systems with unmeasurable state variables, high order systems and large scale systems that the conventional variable structure control schemes with static switching function cannot be applied. In the variable structure control systems with the dynamic switching function, desired control performance can be guaranteed by proper choice of design parameters such as poles of switching function dynamic equation and switching control gains even though small number of measured output and input variables are provided as shown in simulation resuls.

This paper demonstrates improved throughput and energy efficiency of wireless communications by exploiting nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA), multiple input-multiple output (MIMO), and radio frequency energy harvesting (EH) technologies. To assess the performance of NOMA MIMO communications with EH (MMe), we consider the nonlinear characteristics of EH devices and propose explicit expressions for throughput and outage probability. Based on our results, the system performance is significantly mitigated by EH nonlinearity and is considerably improved by increasing the number of antennas. Additionally, by appropriately adjusting the system parameters, our NOMA MMe innovation can avert complete outages while optimizing system performance. Moreover, the results demonstrate the superiority of the NOMA MMe over its orthogonal multiple access MMe counterparts.

In this paper, we use the input and output maps and develop simple procedures to obtain realizations for linear continuous-time systems. The procedures developed are numerically efficient and yield explicit formulae for the state space matrices of the realization in terms of the system parameters, notably the system modes. Both cases of the systems with distinct modes and repeated modes are treated. We also present a procedure for converting a realization obtained through the input or output map into the Jordan canonical form. The transformation matrices required to bring the realization into the Jordan canonical form are specified entirely in terms of the system modes.

A new time-to-digital converter is proposed which is based on a capacitor and a counter. The conventional time-to-digital converter requires rather longer processing time than the input time interval to obtain an accurate digital output. The resolution of the converted digital output is constant independent on the input time interval. However this study proposes the circuit in which the converted digital output can be obtained without delay time, and both the input time interval and the resolution can be easily improved through controlling passive device parameters.

This paper presents a process control language for constructing multiloop control system. which include advanced control algorithms. In order to make controller, this language uses function blocks that do specific operations. Then, the total control algorithm is a set of function blocks, of which each block is represented as a function code. The function code is a line of simple ASCII codes denoting function, input, output, parameters. It is possible to use variables as input/output port of any block. Compared with other language using function block concept, the proposed one enables to use advanced control algorithms undefinitely, such as fuzzy, neural network, predictive controller, etc., because vector and matrix variables as input/output can be used freely in this language. To raise flexibility, we put an intermediate level, which is C-language code, between function code and target-dependent operation code.

This paper proposes an identification method for a thin plate where multiple actuators and sensors are bonded. Since a thin plate has small damping ratios of all modes, each mode can be identified seperately with a bandpass filter for each modal signal. With the bandpass filter and the characteristics of the plate, the Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) model of the plate can be converted to several Multi-Input Single-Output(MISO) models of second order linear difference equations of the modes. Parameters for each mode are obtained by using the Least Square method. Form there MISO models, the MIMO model is obtained in the form of the state space. Experiments were performed for an all-clamped plate with two pairs of piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The outputs of the identified model and the experimental data match well.

It is highly desirable to explore efficient algorithms for detecting structural damage of large size structural systems with limited input and output measurements. In this paper, a new structural damage detection algorithm based on substructure approach is proposed for large size structural systems with limited input and output measurements. Inter-connection effect between adjacent substructures is treated as 'additional unknown inputs' to substructures. Extended state vector of each substructure and its unknown excitations are estimated by sequential extended Kalman estimator and least-squares estimation, respectively. It is shown that the 'additional unknown inputs' can be estimated by the algorithm without the measurements on the substructure interface DOFs, which is superior to previous substructural identification approaches. Also, structural parameters and unknown excitation are estimated in a sequential manner, which simplifies the identification problem compared with other existing work. Structural damage can be detected from the degradation of the identified substructural element stiffness values. The performances of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated by several numerical examples and a lab experiment. Measurement noise effect is considered. Both the simulation results and experimental data validate that the proposed algorithm is viable for structural damage detection of large size structural systems with limited input and output measurements.

This paper tackles the problem of designing a dynamic output-feedback control for linear discrete-time norm-bounded uncertain systems with input saturation. By employing a LPV (Linear Parameter Varying) instead of LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) control, the useful information on interpolation parameters appearing in the procedure of representing saturation nonlinearity as a convex polytope is additionally applied in the control design procedure. By solving the addressed problem that can be recast into a convex optimization problem characterized by LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities) with one prescribed scalar, the vertices of convex set containing an LPV output-feedback control gain and the associated maximal invariant set of initial states are simultaneously obtained.

One approach of the control of a nonlinear system that has gained some success employs a fuzzy structure in cooperation with a neural network(ANFIS). The traditional ANFIS can only model and control the process in single-dimensional output nature in spite of multi-dimensional input. The membership function parameters are tuned using a combination of least squares estimation and back-propagation algorithm. In the case of a mobile robot, we need to drive left and right wheel respectively. In this paper, we proposed the control system architecture for a mobile robotic system that employs the 2-input 2-output ANFIS controller for trajectory tracking. Simulation results and preliminary evaluation show that the proposed architecture is a feasible one for mobile robotic systems.

This paper presents a real-time haptic rendering method for multi-contact interaction with virtual environments. Haptic systems often employ physics-based deformation models such as finite-element models and mass-spring models which demand heavy computational overhead. The haptic system can be designed to have two sampling times, T and JT, for the haptic loop and the graphic loop, respectively. A multi-rate output-estimation with an exponential forgetting factor is proposed to implement real-time haptic rendering for the haptic systems with two sampling rates. The computational burden of the output-estimation increases rapidly as the number of contact points increases. To reduce the computation of the estimation, the multi-rate output-estimation with reduced parameters is developed in this paper. Performance of the new output-estimation with reduced parameters is compared with the original output-estimation with full parameters and an exponential forgetting factor. Estimated outputs are computed from the estimated input-output model at a high rate, and trace the analytical outputs computed from the deformation model. The performance is demonstrated by simulation with a linear tensor-mass model.
