The goal of this paper is to develop a nonlinear observer-based control strategy for a multi-variables continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). A new robust nonlinear observer is constructed to estimate the whole process state variables. The observer is coupled with a nonlinear controller, designed based on the input-output linearization for controlling the concentration and reactor temperature. The closed loop system is shown to be globally asymptotically stable based on Lyapunov arguments. Finally, computer simulations are developed for showing the performance of the proposed controller.

A novel push-pull voltage converter structure, using a switched capacitor type voltage doubler, is proposed. The circuit is constructed with a two-stage push-pull voltage doubler that has a stable operation with small output ripple. The two-stage voltage doubler creates the output voltage 4Vdd. The high clock signal is cross-coupled to the input of the second stage with the opposite phase to reduce two switching transistors and capacitors. Simulation results verify that even with a reduced number of transistor and capacitor, there is no circuit performance loss. Adding one capacitor and two switching transistors the circuit can be changed to eight times of Vdd maker.

In order to improve the performance of a GPS/DR integration system, the error sources of DR sensors should be modeled accurately, This results in the increases in the dimension of the integration filter and, consequently, computational load becomes large. To reduce the computational load, suggested in this paper is a decoupled GPS/DR integration scheme that consists of two cascaded Kalman filters. The GPS velocity output is used in the first filter to calibrate the DR sensor and to fix the velocity as well. The velocity from the first filter is fed to the second filter where the position is corrected using the GPS position output. Experimental results show that the proposed integration scheme has positioning performance comparable to the conventional coupled one, while its computation is reduced to about 2/3.

A logical and systematic procedure to derive a mathematical model for magnetically levitation(maglev) systems with a combined lift and guidance is developed by using and graph. First, bond graph is constructed for the energy-feeding system with magnetic leakage flux. And, the overall maglev system in which lift and guidance dynamics are coupled is modeled by using the concept of multi-port field in bond notations. Finally, the LQG/LTR control systems are designed for single-input single-output and for multi-input multi-output maglev systems. In this paper, it has been shown that the bond graph is an excellent method for modeling multi-energy domain systems such as maglev systems and the multivariable control system is required to improve the performance of the maglev system with a combined lift and guidance.

We have designed two photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) structures with output focused beams in order to achieve more coupling between photonic devices and decrease the mismatch losses in photonic integrated circuits. PCW with coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) termination has been optimized by both one dimensional (1D) and seven dimensional (7D) particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms by evaluating the fitness function by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The 1D and 7D-optimizations caused the factors of 2.79 and 3.875 improvements in intensity of the main lobe compared to the non-optimized structure, whereas the FWHM in 7D-optimized structure was increased, unlike the 1D case. It has also been shown that the increment of focusing causes decrement of the bandwidth.

In this paper, the performance analysis of a control topology based on the direct output power control (DPC) for robust and inexpensive permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance generator (PMa-SynRG) system is presented. The PMa-SynRG might be coupled to an internal combustion engine running at variable speed. A three-phase PWM rectifier rectifies the generator output and supplies the dc link. A single-phase PWM inverter supplies constant ac voltage at constant frequency to the grid. The overall control algorithm is implemented on a TMS320F2812 digital signal processor board. Simulations results and experimental results verify the operation of the proposed system.

In this paper, the designed and fabrication of a K-band push-push oscillator using miniaturized hairpin resonator have been presented. One experimenal oscillator has been designed and fabricated for K-band point-to-point operation. the miniaturized harpin resonator has been analyzed theoretically and simulated by MPIE(Mixed Potential Integral Equation) method. With this results, the analysis of hairpin resonator which coupled microstrip line has been carried out with transmission-mode using this results. an optimized output matching network for the suppression of the fundamental and the 3rd order harmonic was acquired by using a nonlinear analysis method. The fabricated oscillator shows the output power of -2.28dBm, the fundamental frequency suppression of -19dBc, the 3rd order harmonic suppressionof -24dBc and 0.33 percent effiiency at 22.8GHz. The experimental outputs are in good agreement with the theoretical and simulated results.

In order to improve the output efficiency of solar cells and to extend the life span of batteries, the input currents of converters are required to be continuous. If low output voltage ripple is required at the same time, it is obvious that the application of basic two-order converters (such as Buck and Boost derived converters) will not be good enough. In this paper, a lot of non-isolated push-pull converters (NIPPCs) with continuous current will be introduced due to their lower current stress, higher efficiency and better EMC performance. By decomposing the converters into push-pull cells, inductor and free-wheeling diodes, two families of NIPPCs based on single inductor and coupled inductor separately are systematically generated. Furthermore, characteristics analyses for some of the generated converters are also shown in this paper. Finally, two prototypes based on the corresponding typical topologies are built in the lab to verify the theoretical outcomes.

We report on the fabrication of two-dimensional Silicon On Insulator (SOI) photonic crystal (PhC) superprism. To optimize the design of 2-D SOI PhC superprism, the photonic band structures (TE-polarization) for triangular lattices and the dispersion surfaces were calculated and analyzed by the plane wave expansion method. Dense 2-D SOI PhC superprism nanostructures with taper input and output waveguide microstructures were successfully fabricated by nanoimprint lithography, followed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching.

In this paper, we present an intelligent digital controller circuit which can be applied to automatic voltage regulation. The proposed solid state transformer with Pspice simulation model shows that our approach is very efficient and produces the desirable output. It is comparable to an ordinary magnetic coupled autotransformer.
