Ascorbic acid plays a crucial role in the regulation of neurotransmitters and enzymes in the central nervous system. Maintaining an optimal level of ascorbic acid, which is between 0.6-2 mg/dL, is vital for preventing oxidative stress and associated health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and liver disease. Therefore, the detection of ascorbic acid is of the utmost importance. Electrochemical sensing has gained significant attention among the various detection methods, owing to its simplicity, speed, affordability, high selectivity, and real-time analysis capabilities. However, conventional electrodes have poor signal response, which has led to the development of modified electrodes with better signal response and selectivity. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their composites have emerged as promising materials for the electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid. CNTs possess unique mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties that depend on their structure, and their large surface area and excellent electron transport properties make them ideal candidates for electrochemical sensing. Recently, various CNT composites with different materials and nanoparticles have been studied to enhance the electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the significance of CNTs and their composites for improving the sensitivity and selectivity of ascorbic acid detection. Specifically, it focuses on the use of CNTs and their composites in electrochemical sensing to revolutionize the detection of ascorbic acid and contribute to the prevention of oxidative stress-related health conditions. The potential benefits of this technology make it a promising area for future research and development.

Permanent-magnet (PM) passive bearings use the repulsive forces between the rotor and the stator magnets for the bearing function. It is desirable that the stiffness of the bearing is maximized with the given volume of the magnet. The stiffness is affected by the magnet strength, the number of layers, and the magnetization patterns. Previously, finite-element method (FEM) has been used to maximize the stiffness of the bearing. In this paper, we used the equivalent current sheet method to calculate the stiffness. The validity of this approach is checked against FEM results. The optimized bearing is applied to a micro flywheel energy storage system.

Active-head sliders with a unimorph piezoelectric actuator for flying height control were experimentally evaluated. It was found that the normalized stroke of the actuator is 5.2 to 6 nm/V/mm without flying over the disk. However, the normalized adjustment range of flying height is about 1.6 nm/V/mm when the active-head slider is flying over the disk. This value is smaller than the measured value when the slider is not flying, because of the air pressure generated at the active pad when the pad approaches the disk surface.

본 논문에서는 동적인 실제 객체로부터 얻어진 깊이 맵으로부터 3차원 메쉬 모델을 생성할 때, 영상의 경계정보를 기반으로 효율적인 비정규 메쉬를 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 우선 깊이 맵으로부터 소수의 특징점과 경계영역에서의 실루엣 점을 추출한다. Delaunay 삼각화 기법을 적용할 때 경계 피부에 발생하는 불필요한 삼각형들을 효율적으로 제거하기 위해 실루엣점으로 구성된 경계 라인을 제약조건으로 사용한다. 즉 깊이 맵으로부터 경계 영역 정보를 추출하고 이를 기반으로 관심 객체의 비정규 삼각 메쉬에 존재하는 불필요한 외부 삼각형을 제거한다. 최종적으로 생성된 3차원 메쉬에 포함된 형상 노이즈를 제거하기 위해 메쉬 스무딩 기법을 적용하고, 깊이 맵과 동시에 획득된 컬러 영상을 텍스쳐링하여 3차원 메쉬를 생성한다.

반짝이는 물체를 촬영하면 이미지에 하이라이트(highlight)와 반짝거림(specularity)이 발생한다. 하이라이트가 발생한 이미지에서 하이라이트를 제거하고 원색으로 복원하는 방법 중에 하나가 하이라이트 색 복원(inpainting)이다. 하이라이트 색을 복원하는 과정은 다음 두 단계로 구성된다. 첫 단계로 하이라이트의 위치를 알고 있다고 가정하aus 하이라이트의 주변 영역을 찾고 CL-projection을 이용해 주변 영역의 색에서 하이라이트나 반짝거림의 영향을 제거한다. 두 번째 단계로 하이라이트 주변 영역의 색을 기반으로 upper mean을 이용하여 distance transform을 수행한다. Upper mean을 이용한 distance transform의 가장 큰 장점은 하이라이트 주변을 보정하고 그 정보를 이용하기 때문에 하이라이트 색을 복원할 뿐만 아니라 반짝거림에 대한 보정도 된다.

In this paper, a robust optimization approach is applied to the two-axes stage using a piezoelectric actuator for precise motion tracking. Robust control is based on LQG/LTR (linear quadratic Gaussian control with loop transfer recovery) control. Further, an LMI (linear matrix inequality) is used to find the optimal parameter in the loop transfer recovery step, instead of a trial and error method. A decoupler in the shape of FIR filter is added to reduce the coupling effect between the motions of the two axes, and hence, the feedback control loop is designed independently for each axis motion. The experimental result shows that the proposed control scheme can be applied effectively for motion control of the two-axes stage.

This paper is a study on the fuzzy force control of a miniature gripper driven by piezoelectric bimorph actuator. The system is composed of two flexible cantilevers, a stepping motor, a laser displacement transducer and two semiconductor force sensors attached to the beams. Obtained results show that the present artificial finger system works well as a miniature gripper, which produces approximately 0.06N force in the maximum. Further, the fuzzy position/force control algorithm is applied to the soft-handing gripper for stable grasping of a object. It revealed that the fuzzy rule-based controller be efficient controller for the stable drive of the flexible miniature gripper. It also showed that two semiconductor strain gauges located in the flexible beam play an important roles for force control, position control and vibration suppression control.

Unmanned Helicopter has several abilities such as vertical Take off, hovering, low speed flight at low altitude. Such vehicles are becoming popular in actual applications such as search and rescue, aerial reconnaissance and surveillance. These vehicles also used under risky environments without threatening the life of a pilot. Since a small aerial vehicle is very sensitive to environmental conditions, it is generally known that the flight control is very difficult problems. In this paper, a flight control system was designed for an unmanned helicopter. This paper was concentrated on describing the mechanical design, electronic equipments and their interconnections for acquiring autonomous flight. The design methodologies and performance of the helicopter were illustrated and verified with a linearized equation of motion. The LQG based estimator and controller was designed and tested for this unmanned helicopter.

This paper presents the development of a full order sliding mode controller for tracking problem of a class of uncertain dynamical system, in particular, the direct drive robot manipulators. By treating the arm as an uncertain system represented by its nominal and bounded parametric uncertainties, a new robust fullorder sliding mode tracking controller is derived such that the actual trajectory tracks the desired trajectory as closely as possible despite the non-linearities and input couplings present in the system. A proportional-integral sliding surface is chosen to ensure the stability of overall dynamics during the entire period i.e. the reaching phase and the sliding phase. Application to a three DOF direct drive robot manipulator is considered.

In the area of tracking control, it is important to design not only the controllers but also the trajectories to which a system has to follow. Position in the form of the $5^{th}$ order polynomial is often used with constraints of initial and final states. Smooth ending with possible minimum time is important for many systems to be away from vibrations or jerky motions. A simple polynomial-like trajectory generation method based on zero final state constraints is suggested and named ZSPOT. The effects of suggested method are shown through experiments in which a system follows an easy and computationally light reference trajectory.
