A steady-state dynamic model for a cable in air is put forward by using some tensor relations. For the dynamic motion of a long-span Cable Driven Parallel Robot (CDPR) system, a driven cable deployment and retrieval mathematical model of CDPR is developed by employing lumped mass method. The boundary condition of cable and initial values of equations is founded, The partial differential governing equation of each cable is thus transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations, which can be solved by adaptive Runge-Kutta algorithm. Simulation examples verify the effectiveness of the mathematical model of variable length CDPR.

Embedded systems are applied in various products and the demand for them is very high. However, there is shortfall in human resources of embedded system engineers in Japan. For this reason, we conduct training courses based on the e-learning system to promote embedded system engineering education. For these courses, we have developed a remote practice system to support the participants of the training course do self-learning. The participants can check own software design and digital hardware designs using this system on the Internet. We conducted some training courses using this educational system and evaluated the results.

Using cyber-physical systems to emulate complex social structures is an emerging field, with interesting applications. Such social structures can be used to better understand insect, animal, or even human populations. Additionally, these structures can be used to implement dynamic team work and problem-solving capabilities within autonomous agents. This research explores two separate experiment types in order to implement complex social systems using simple, individual behaviors. First, a situation in which a team of agents works together to locate another agent that is trying to evade capture; second, an agent is presented with a network of mobile defense units that are unaware of its presence- it must intelligently avoid detection and reach its goal using analyzing the distribution of the defense units.

In glaucoma patients, intraocular pressure (IOP) is a parameter that plays significant role in disease diagnosis and treatment. Continuous IOP measurements could help capture fluctuations in IOP that are found to be relevant to disease progression. In this paper, an implantable surface micromachined capacitive pressure sensor that can be used as a part of LC tank implant circuit is discussed. A three layer Polysilicon process was used for sensor fabrication. A preliminary study on sensor coil is also presented.

In recent times the trend in system engineering goes towards system modeling and analysis at higher abstraction levels. This provides the major advantage of simplifying the procedure of design reuse and simultaneously allows an abstracted possibility of a joint system evaluation in respect of certain design parameters. Traditionally MATLAB/SIMULINK has been chosen for an abstracted examination of the implemented algorithm. This approach lacks a correlation to the actual available hardware components which finally should implement the functionality. To reduce this modeling gap the presented approach chose SystemC as modeling language allowing a closer consideration of the underlying platform during the system/algorithm modeling process. This simulation model is following expanded by performance parameters provided from an Instruction Set Simulator and a High Level Synthesis tool, respectively. By utilizing this additional information, metrics for an optimum algorithm partitioning are deduced. In the second part of the paper, a practical example is presented and exemplarily implemented to show its suitability in such a high level design process.

This paper proposes a framework for the automatic management of exchange parking areas, usually located in the periphery of large cities. These parks are used for medium/long period stops of private or public vehicles and the subsequent sorting of passengers to public transportation networks. The objective of this paper is to analyze and stress the potential of a framework that exploits only vision sensors, which are very versatile and minimally invasive. Using a visual sensor network and the proposed tracking approach we are able to know and track the position of every bus in the exchange station and to send data to the planning station, which allocates slots for other busses and manages public information. Preliminary results are promising and show the feasibility of the proposed method, so that future research work is directed towards a distributed implementation of the framework with stand-alone and embedded devices under the control of a supervisor.

Derivative order introduced by non-integer differentiation and integration concept constitutes an additional degree of freedom allowing a more accurate modeling of several physical phenomena. At the same time its complexity coming from the character of history dependence and universe mutuality makes the identification process more difficult. According to the dynamic characteristics of some typical thermal processes such as drum water level, main steam temperature and bed temperature of a 450 t/h circulating fluidized bed boiler, a kind of fractional transfer function is designed. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to estimate the parameters include the order and the coefficients. The fitness function is the Integral of Squared Errors (ISE) between the output of actual system and the model identified. The data used for the calculations are step response data collected from a power plant. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme offers a higher degree of accuracy, compared with integral models which are obtained with the same method.

Metal cutting fluids change the performance of machining operations because of their cooling, and chip flushing functions. Minimization of cutting fluid leads to economical benefits by way of saving recycling of cutting fluid, corrosion and erosion of machining components and chemical reaction of cutting fluids with work, cutter and the environment. The present work focuses on the study of the effect of coolant on surface roughness for various cutting conditions on a typical work material like aluminum. It has been observed that a small amount of supply of coolant at the point of cutting, largely improves the surface finish. An approach based on the tool work combination method has been performed to identify the ideal testing parameter range. The cutting conditions include feed rate, cutting speed and the coolant flow rate. In the study, the coolant was provided from near dry condition to flooding. During each test, surface roughness, was measured and compared.

This paper investigates the observer-based fault detection filtering problem for continuous-time descriptor Markov jump linear systems (DMJLSs). Both parameter uncertainties and state delays are assumed to be time-varying but bounded. A fault detection filter (FDF) is designed such that for all admissible uncertainties, the resultant filtering dynamics is robust stochastically stable, and the residual signal is robust to the unknown input and the known control input but sensitive to the fault. Moreover, an iterative linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for filter parameter computation as well as the residual evaluation and threshold calculation are also given. The validity of the proposed method is illustrated by a numerical example.
