We propose a new two-degree of freedom parallel mechanism for a haptic device and will refer to the mechanism as the SenSation. The SenSation is designed in order to improve the kinematic performanced and to achieve static balance. We use the panto graph mechanisms in order to change the location of active joints, which leads to transform a direct kinematic singularity into a nonsingularity. The direct kinematic singular configurations of the SenSation occur near the workspace boundary. Using the property that position vector of rigid body rotating about a fixed point is normal to the velocity vector, Jacobian matrix is derived. Using the vector method, two different types of singularities of the SenSation can be identified and we discuss the physical significance of each of the three types of singularities. We will compare the kinematic performances(force manipulability ellipsoid, kinematic isotropy) of the SenSation with those of five-var parallel mechanism. By specifying that the potential energy be fixed, the conditions for the static balancing of the SenSation is derived. The static balancing is accomplished by changing the center of mass of the links.

This paper describes the results of an experimental investigation of the flow characteristics and the heat transfer rate on a surface by interaction of a pair of vortices. The test facility consists of a boundary-layer wind tunnel with a vortex introduced into the flow by half-delta wings(vortex generators) protruding from the surface. In order to control the strength of the two longitudinal vortices, the angles of attack of the vortex generators are varied from 20 degree to 45 degree, but spacings between the vortex generators are fixed to 4 cm. The 3-dimensional mean velocity downstream of the vortex generators is measured by a five-hole pressure probe, and the hue-capturing method using the thermochromatic liquid crystals has been used to provide the local distribution of the heat transfer coefficient. By using the method mentioned above, the following conclusions are obtained from the present experiment. The boundary layer is thinned in the regions where the secondary flow is directed toward the wall and thickened where it is directed away from the wall. The peak augmentation of the local heat transfer coefficient occurs in the downwash region near the point of minimum boundary-layer thickness. Streamwise distributions of averaged Stanton number on the measurement planes show very similar trends for all the cases(${\beta}=20^{circ},\;30^{\circ}\;and\;45^{\circ}$).

In this paper, an improved continuous integral variable structure systems(ICIVSS) with the prescribed control performance is designed for simple regulation controls of uncertain general linear systems. An integral sliding surface with an integral state having a special initial condition is adopted for removing the reaching phase and predetermining the ideal sliding trajectory from a given initial state to the origin in the state space. The ideal sliding dynamics of the integral sliding surface is analytically obtained and the solution of the ideal sliding dynamics can predetermine the ideal sliding trajectory(integral sliding surface) from the given initial state to the origin. Provided that the value of the integral sliding surface is bounded by certain value by means of the continuous input, the norm of the state error to the ideal sliding trajectory is analyzed and obtained in Theorem 1. A corresponding discontinuous control input with the exponential stability is proposed to generate the perfect sliding mode on the every point of the pre-selected sliding surface. For practical applications, the discontinuity of the VSS control input is approximated to be continuous based on the proposed modified fixed boundary layer method. The bounded stability by the continuous input is investigated in Theorem 3. With combining the results of Theorem 1 and Theorem 3, as the prescribed control performance, the pre specification on the error to the ideal sliding trajectory is possible by means of the boundary layer continuous input with the integral sliding surface. The suggested algorithm with the continuous input can provide the effective method to increase the control accuracy within the boundary layer by means of the increase of the $G_1$ gain. Through an illustrative design example and simulation study, the usefulness of the main results is verified.

Edge detection is one of issues with essential importance in the area of image process. An edge in image is a boundary or contour which a significant change occurs in image intensity. In the paper, we process edge detection algorithms which are based on Potts automata. The dynamical behavior of these automata is completely determined by Lyapunov operators for sequential and parallel update. If Potts Automata convergence to fixed points, then it can be used to image processing. From the generalized Potts automata point of view, we propose a Potts Automata technique for detecting edge. Based on the experimental results we discuss the advantage and efficiency.

Motivated by the problem of steady-state heat conduction in a rod whose heat flux at one end is determined by observation of the temperature and heat flux at some point ${\xi}$ in the interior of the rod, we consider the problem y"(x)=a(x, y(x))y(x) (0$${\lim_{x{\rightarrow}{\infty}}}y(x)=0,\;y^{\prime}(0)=g(y({\xi}),\;y^{\prime}({\xi}))$$ for some fixed ${\xi}{\in}(0,{\infty})$. We establish conditions guaranteeing existence and uniqueness for this problem on the semi-infinite interval [0,${\infty}$).

In this paper, we work two different problems. First, we investigate a new class of fractional differential equations involving Caputo sequential derivative with some (e₁, e₂, θ)-periodic conditions. The existence and uniqueness of solutions are proven. The stability of solutions is also discussed. The second part includes studying traveling wave solutions of a conformable fractional Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (KdV Burger) equation through the Tanh method. Graphs of some of the waves are plotted and discussed, and a conclusion follows.

Block based fast motion estimation algorithm use the fixed search pattern to reduce the search point, and are based on the assumption that the error in the mean absolute error space monotonically decreases to the global minimum. Therefore, in case of many local minima in a search region we are likely to find local minima instead of the global minimum and highly rely on the initial search points. This situation is evident in the motion boundary. In this paper we define the candidate regions within the search region using the motion information of the neighbor blocks and we propose the multiple local search method (MLSM) which search for the solution throughout the candidate regions to reduce the possibilities of isolation to the local minima. In the MLSM we mark the candidate region in the search point map and we avoid to search the candidate regions already visited to reduce the calculation. In the simulation results the proposed method shows more excellent results than that of other gradient based method especially in the search of motion boundary. Especially, in PSNR the proposed method obtains similar estimate accuracy with the significant reduction of search points to that of full search.

In this paper, we are concerned with the following eigenvalue problems of m-point boundary value problem for p-Laplacian dynamic equation on time scales $(\varphi_p(u^{\Delta}(t)))^\nabla+{\lambda}h(t)f(u(t))=0,\;t\in(0,T)$, $u(0)=0,\varphi_p(u^{\Delta}(T))=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{m-2}a_i\varphi_p(u^{\Delta}(\xi_i))$, where $\varphi_p(u)=|u|^{p-2}$u, p > 1 and $\lambda$ > 0 is a real parameter. Under certain assumptions, some new results on existence of one or two positive solution and nonexistence are obtained for $\lambda$ evaluated in different intervals. Our work develop and improve many known results in the literature even for the continual case. In doing so the usual restriction that $f_0=lim_{u{\rightarrow}0}+f(u)/\varphi_p(u)$ and $f_\infty = lim_{u{\rightarrow}{\infty}}f(u)/\varphi_p({u})$ exist is removed. As an applications, an example is given to illustrate the main results obtained.

This paper, which covers a fluorescence microscopy image of brain tumor cells, looks at drug reactions by treating different types and concentrations of drugs on a plate of $24{\times}16$ wells. Due to the limitation of the field of view, a well was taken into 9 field images, and each has an overlapping area with its neighboring fields. To analyze more precisely, image stitching is needed. The basic method is finding a similar area using normalized cross-correlation (NCC). The problem is that some overlapping areas may not have any duplicated cells that help to find the matching point. In addition, the cell objects have similar sizes and shapes, which makes distinguishing them difficult. To avoid calculating similarity between blank areas and roughly distinguishing different cells, thresholding is added. The thresholding method classifies background and cell objects based on fixed thresholds and finds the location of the first seen cell. After getting its location, NCC is used to find the best correlation point. The results are compared with a simple boundary stitched image. Our proposed method stitches images that are connected in a grid form without collision, selecting the best correlation point among areas that contain overlapping cells and ones without it.

It is difficult to detect the accurate detection which leads the camera it moves follows in change of the noise or illumination and Also, it could be recognized with backgound if the object doesn't move during hours. In this paper, the proposed method is updating changed background image as much as N＊M pixel mask as time goes on after get a difference between imput image and first background image. And checking image pixel can efficiently detect moving by computing fixed distance pixel instead of operate all pixel. Also, set up minimum area of object to use boundary point of object abstracted through checking image pixel and motion detect of object. Therefore motion detection is available as is fast and correct without doing checking image pixel every Dame. From experiment, the designed and implemented system showed high precision ratio in performance assessment more than 90 percents.
