In this paper, a parallel fuzzy controller for one degree of freedom magnetic levitation is designed and its performance is compared with the performance of a PID controller. Input, output scaling factor of fuzzy controller and gain of PID controller were tuned using the GA algorithm. The designed controllers are validated by numerical simulations. So it's shown that parallel fuzzy controller can give the better performance for the plant than PID controller.

Wide variety of the architectural complexity of parallel computer often makes it difficult to develop efficient programs for them. One of approaches to improve this difficulty is to program in familiar sequential languages such as Fortran or C and to parallelize sequential programs into equivalent parallel programs automatically. This paper presents an organization of parallelizing compiler which transforms sequential programs into equivalent parallel programs. The parallelizer consists mainly of syntax analysis, control and data flow analysis, program transformation, and parallel code generation. In particular, the program restructuring in this parallelizer maximizes loop parallelism.

Medium access control is critical in wireless networks for efficient spectrum utilization. In this paper, we introduce a novel collision resolution method based on the technique of known interference cancellation, and propose a new MAC protocol named as CR-MAC, in which AP tries to decode all the collided data packets by combining partial retransmissions and known interference cancellation. As the collided transmissions are fully utilized, less retransmission is required, especially in a crowded network. The NS-2simulation and MATLAB numerical results show that, under various network settings, CR-MAC performs much better than the IEEE 802.11 DCF in terms of the aggregation throughput and the expected packet delay.

Parallel type fuzzy controller is designed by using a hybrid connected type fuzzy-PID controller and a model reference fuzzy controller. The first controller, consists of a fuzzy-PI and a fuzzy-PD making a hybrid type fuzzy-PID controller, plays a role as firstly reaching stable responses and secondly overcoming disturbance in plants. The second controller, model reference fuzzy controller, plays a role as reaching faster responses than other controllers. We have confirmed that the controller produces rapid and stable responses and overcomes disturbance by using parallel type fuzzy controller in a DC motor application.

In this paper, a prototype Cartesian Parallel Manipulator (CPM) is demonstrated, in which a moving platform is connected to a fixed frame by three PRRR limbs. Due to the orthogonal arrangement of the three prismatic joints, it behaves like a conventional X-Y-Z Cartesian robot. However, because all the linear actuators are mounted at the fixed frame, the manipulator may be suitable for applications requiring high speed and accuracy. Using a geometric method and the practical assumption that three revolute joint axes in each limb are parallel to one another, a simple forward kinematics for an actual model is derived, which is expressed in terms of a set of linear equations. Based on the error model, two calibration methods using full position and length measurements are developed. It is shown that for a full position measurement, the solution for the calibration can be obtained analytically. However, since a ball-bar is less expensive and sufficiently accurate for calibration, the kinematic calibration experiment on the prototype machine is performed by using a ball-bar. The effectiveness of the kinematic calibration method with a ball-bar is verified through the well­known circular test.

A method is proposed to obtain the Jacobian matrix of the 5 -bar parallel manipulator by employing the orthogonality between position and velocity vectors of rotating rigid-body around a fixed point. The dynamics of the 5-bar parallel manipulator is analyzed and utilized to design the computed-torque controller by developing a transformation matrix of the passive joints with respect to the active ones. In experimental demonstration, it shows that high-speed and accuracy tasks are performed by the proposed computed-torque control.

This paper presents the development of the I/O Interface for the real time parallel data communication between controller of a six-axis industrial robot(CRS-A460) and an external computer. The proposed I/O Interface consists of the hardware I/O interface and the software that is downloaded to the robot controller and executed by the controller operating system. The constitution of the digital I/O Port for CRS-A460 robot controller and the digital I/O board for IBM-PC are presented as well as the Process Control Program of the robot controller. The developed protocol for the parallel data communication is described. The data communication is tested, and the performance is analysed. In particular, it is shown that the real-time constraint of the robot controller process is satisfied.

This paper presents the development of system and program for a Parallel-Typed CNC Machine. The system consists of parallel manipulator, PC (Personal Computer), DMC (DSP Motion Controller), and machining tools. In order to control the manipulator, the program, which is implemented in "c/c++" language, involves inverse/direct kinematics, velocity mapping, Jacobian and etc. A controller computes the kinematic formulation in real-time and generates and motion by the DMC. A monitor, which has access to program and sensory information, displays the status of manipulator.nipulator.

This paper presents the two degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar parallel mechanism, called the $2{\underline{R}}RR-RP$ manipulator, whose degree-of-freedom is dependent on an additional passive constraining leg connecting the base and the platform. First, the kinematic analysis of the mechanism is performed: the inverse and forward kinematic problems are analytically solved, the workspace is systematically derived, and all of the singular configurations are examined. Then, in order to determine the geometric parameters the optimization of the mechanism is performed considering its dexterity, stiffness, and space utilization. Finally, the kinematic performances of the optimized mechanism are evaluated through the comparison study to the conventional 5-bar parallel manipulator.

In a the present day, many vision inspection techniques are used in productive industrial areas. In particular, in the semiconductor industry the vision inspection system for wafers is a very important system. Also, inspection techniques for semiconductor wafer production are required to ensure high precision and fast inspection. In order to achieve these objectives, parallel processing of the inspection algorithm is essentially needed. In this paper, we propose the GPU (Graphical Processing Unit)-based parallel processing algorithm for the fast inspection of semiconductor wafers. The proposed algorithm is implemented on GPU boards made by NVIDIA Company. The defect detection performance of the proposed algorithm implemented on the GPU is the same as if by a single CPU, but the execution time of the proposed method is about 210 times faster than the one with a single CPU.
