This paper aims to present the results of controlling a novel intelligent mechatronic system that was designed specifically to serve as a sensing and motion system for hybrid testing. The conceptual design was inspired from the Stewart Platform for a two-degree-of-freedom (2DoF) moving platform. This design has resulted in non-linear kinematics, coupled dynamics and an inertial moving platform that attracted model-based control strategies. A novel control technique based on fuzzy-flatness control was selected to meet the multiple simultaneous specification control of linearisation, decoupling and asymptotic tracking. Pole placement control was used to achieve stable tracking while the robustness was guaranteed by implementing a robust fuzzy-logic compensation. Simulation results demonstrated the validity of the proposed approaches with perfect trajectory tracking at different excitation conditions. For the experimental implementation, the real-time constraint was further imposed and the actuators time-delay was compensated for using a forward prediction algorithm based on a fourth-order polynomial extrapolation.

This paper proposes a novel approach for modeling the nonlinear dynamic behavior of Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs). The proposed approach is based on a combination of two architectures of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) namely, Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous (NARX) ANN and feed forward back propagation (FFBP) ANN. The proposed model predicts (outputs) the brace force at a certain time from the brace deflection and its history and the history of the brace force. The data used in training and testing of the model is acquired from the experimental testing of four BRB specimens. The proposed model is trained on data from one specimen while tested against the rest to demonstrate its learning and generalization capability. Optimum values for various network parameters are selected empirically to obtain the best network performance. The results show that the prediction error for the peak response (maximum tensile/compressive force) lies within ±5% confidence interval for all cycles.

Introduction: The region of the neck is vulnerable. In case of pathology, the cervical traction is suggested to put under stress its constituent elements. We consider that the elongation of the cervical spine is constant and reproducible under the influence of a given traction power. We suggest studying the validation of a measuring instrument to objectivize the pathological damages and the results of the treatment. Method: 60 healthy subjects with a mean age of 25.83 ± 6.55 took part in our study. They have been evaluated two times within a 3-day interval. The extension of the neck was measured by a potentiometer during 120s under the effect of a cervical tension using 7% of the body's weight. The relaxation of the subject was revealed through EMG recording of the muscles of the neck. Synchronization with breathing was captured through an abdominal detector. Results: The elongation of the cervical spine was 1.71 + 0.7 mm. The reproducibility of the elongation was large (r = 0.73). The elongation of the cervical spine according to the respiratory rhythm of the subject could not be reported. Discussion and Conclusion: The flow of the conjunctive tissues of the neck is constant and its measurement with our tool is reliable. This leads to a lot of new research openings.

Decimal arithmetic has gained high impact on the overall performance of today's financial and commercial applications. Decimal additions and multiplication are the main decimal operations used in any decimal arithmetic algorithm. Decimal digit adders and decimal digit multipliers are usually the building blocks for higher order decimal adders and multipliers. FPGAs provide an efficient hardware platform that can be employed for accelerating decimal algorithms. In this paper, different designs for two decimal digit adders and one decimal digit multiplier are proposed. The proposed designs were described, functionally tested, and implemented using VHDL and the Xilinx ISE 10.1 targeting Xilinx Vertix-5 XC5VLX30-3 FPGA. Implementation results and comparison with existing designs are provided.

This paper evaluates the hole quality on Al 6061 aluminum alloy using peck drilling process. Specimens were drilled under dry conditions with HSS drill of 10 mm diameter. Peck drilling experiments were conducted in three steps of 10 mm each. Hole quality is checked by measuring the roughness (Ra) of generated surfaces. This roughness analysis indicates that new step in peck drilling has strong influence on surface roughness of previously drilled step. This work also suggests that step length and no of steps are important influential factors for surface roughness in peck drilling.

Multisensor recording is an important technique used for solving various pattern recognition problems such as the classification of electrophysiological signals. Studies have shown that, although there is a correlation between the electrical activities recorded at different sites, the characteristics of the recorded signal depend on the position of the recording electrode. In this study, we search for the combination of channels that can provide the highest classification accuracy of multichannel uterine (electromyogram) EMG signals. The procedure of reducing the total number of channels is described. Our approach is tested by calculating 4 statistical measures. Results have shown that our proposed approach is capable of reducing the number of recording channels and improving the global classification accuracy.

In order to increase system capacity and improve UE peak throughput, 3GPP has introduced Multi Carrier operation for HSPA by aggregating 2 adjacent carriers in Release 8 and further enhancements in Release 9 by aggregating upto 4 non adjacent carriers. Similar operation was adopted in 3GPP Release 10 for LTE allowing it to aggregate upto 5 carriers. Many Mobile operators are deploying both technologies LTE and HSPA simultaneously and will face great challenges with their assigned frequency spectrum to use aggregation either in LTE or HSPA. Multicarrier LTE or HSPA have quite similar Peak data rates results when using the same bandwidth. This paper proposes the possibility of aggregating LTE and HSPA carriers in a multi radio environment allowing dynamic usage of both systems by a single user for capacity and peak data rates improvements.Mobile operatorsfrequency spectrummulti radio environment

In this paper, an optimal PID-FLC (Proportional Integral Derivative Fuzzy Logic Controller) is proposed. The design of this system aims to control blood glucose elevation in type 1 diabetic patients. An automated system integrated with a miniaturized insulin infusion pump and a continuous biosensor that measures the glucose level has been developed recently to replace beta cells in the pancreas. The main contribution of the paper is that it introduces an automated insulin delivery system based on a parallel PID-FLC structure tuned with genetic algorithms. This control system was compared to an optimal PIFLC and PD-FLC as well as a reference model. The results revealed that the controllers could maintain the glucose level within a normal range. In addition, the performance of the PIFLC and the PID-FLC was very close to that of beta cells in normal individuals. So, they can be exploited prosperously as control systems to manage blood glucose concentrations in Type 1 diabetic patients. In addition, the PID-FLC saved the amount of the daily delivered insulin, while, its performance was approximately the same as that of the PI-FLC.

This paper illustrates the classification of Electromyography (EMG) signals through designing and optimization of artificial neural network. The EMG signals obtained for different kinds of hand movements, which are processed to extract the features. Extracted time and time frequency based feature sets are used to train the neural network. A back-propagation neural network with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm has been utilized for the classification. The results show that the designed network is optimized for 10 hidden neurons and able to efficiently classify single channel EMG signals with an average rate of 88.4%.
