Hall thrusters are electric propulsion devices that are widely used in modern spaceflight. To obtain the critical corrosion data effectively and accurately during long-life tests of Hall thrusters, this paper proposes an automated corrosion measurement method based on three-dimensional point cloud technology. This method uses binocular structured light scanning method to obtain surface point cloud data. The point cloud topology relationship of these disordered data is also established by KD-tree and radius filtering. The base plane is determined according to the average of the outer circle plane in the discharge chamber, and the original point cloud data is sliced transversely and longitudinally. The point cloud of section data is extracted and the corrosion width data is obtained according to the round hole feature extraction and center of circle calculation. The corrosion angle is calculated according to the angle between the straight line and the normal of the section. The proposed method has been verified and the results show that the overall error accuracy is within 60 μm, which meets the requirements for automatic measurement of Hall thruster corrosion. It is a real and effective method to obtain the critical corrosion data during long-life tests of Hall thrusters.

This paper studies the output regulation problem of time-varying descriptor systems and the problem of designing state feedback and dynamic measurement output feedback control laws which asymptotically achieves output regulation and disturbance rejection is considered. New regulator equations are proposed for time-varying descriptor systems in the form of differential-algebraic matrix equations. The unique solution of the proposed regulator equations is given as well. We prove that the output regulation problem of time-varying descriptor systems is solvable if and only if the given regulator equations are solvable. Based on the solution of the regulator equations, the state feedback and dynamic measurement output feedback control laws are designed to solve the output regulation problem. The work extends the existing results of output regulation problem for time-varying linear systems to the time-varying descriptor systems. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of our methodology.

During the time of COVID-19, the use of face masks has become an essential control and prevention measure. The wide usage of disposable face masks has presented a great challenge to governments to face the impact of plastic waste on humans health and the environment. The quality of reusable face masks was assessed in previous research based on general measures such as the fabric, size fit, arrival time, price, and convenience, and based on more-specific measures related to the number of layers and the included filters. However, as the quality of reusable face masks includes several other dimensions, the general measures cannot be enough to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of these products during the COVID-19 outbreak. Nowadays, however, digital social media has provided venues and convenient tools for users to share their opinions, preferences, and experiences on the quality of reusable face masks. Considering reusable face masks, several types have been launched on online platforms to meet the increasing demand during COVID-19. The main goal of this study is to investigate how reusable face masks can be evaluated through online customers’ reviews. This study proposes a combination of qualitative (text mining) and quantitative (survey-based analysis) approaches to provide the researchers with a method of data analysis to inspect the most influential quality factors for the evaluation of reusable face masks. We performed a literature review on the previous works and also collected online customers’ reviews from Amazon.com to find the quality factors of reusable face masks. The review of previous literature on reusable face masks and the result of online reviews analysis indicated that several factors impact customers’ experiences, including filteration efficiency, fabric quality, breathability, design, functionality, environmental impact, comfort, easy to use, easy to clean, economic impact, donning/doffing, quality of seal, vision, communication and safety protection. The presented framework can be complementary to the existing evaluation research methods, which use the strengths of one method to overcome the shortcomings of the other.

Cooling systems provide a safe thermal environment for the reliable operation of IT equipment in data centers (DCs) while generating significant energy consumption. Therefore, to achieve energy savings in cooling system control under dynamic thermal distribution in DCs, this paper proposes a multi-setpoint cooling control approach based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Firstly, a thermal model based on the XGBoost algorithm is constructed to precisely evaluate the thermal distribution in the rack room to guide real-time cooling control. Secondly, a multi-set point cooling control approach based on the deep Q-network algorithm (DQN-MSP) is designed to finely regulate the supply air temperature of each air conditioner by capturing the thermal fluctuations to ensure the dynamic balance of cooling supply and demand. Finally, we adopt the extended CloudSimPy simulation tool and the real workload trace of the PlanetLab system to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed approach. The simulation results show that the proposed control solution effectively reduces the cooling energy consumption by over 2.4% by raising the average air supply temperature of the air conditioner while satisfying the thermal constraints.

The nonlinear system control is a classical problem in control engineering. In this paper, rather than try to get accurate nonlinear dynamics, the nonlinear and uncertain dynamics are viewed as a signal. It can be estimated by an extended state observer, and compensated by a control law. Accordingly, the nonlinear uncertain system is linearized. Based on the linearized system and the key point of the U-model control, a controller can be designed to obtain predetermined closed-loop system dynamics. To get a more satisfactory performance, a compensation signal of the total disturbance estimation (CSTDE) is designed. Based on the CSTDE, a compensation of the total disturbance estimation based extended state observer (CTDESO) and a fast-response active disturbance rejection control (FRADRC) are proposed. Convergence of the CTDESO and the closed-loop stability of the FRADRC are analyzed. Four nonlinear systems are considered to testify the proposed approaches. Numerical results show that, no matter disturbances exist or not, the proposed CTDESO can linearize a nonlinear system better, and the predetermined closed-loop responses can also be achieved more satisfactorily by the FRADRC.

For the linear multivariable systems, by combining both merits of orthogonal-function approach and evolutionary optimization, in this paper, a new method is presented for designing a Luenberger reduced-order observer to solve the low-sensitivity design issue for physical system parameter deviation and simultaneously to minimize a measurement of the quadratic performance for reducing state transient estimation error. Two given examples illustrate the effectiveness of the presented new low-sensitivity design approach on state estimation performance. From the given examples, it shows that the estimated state errors are not sensitive to system parameter deviation and have the asymptotical convergence property. Besides, the performances are apparently superior to those without considering low-sensitivity design means.

The rapidly developed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and artificial intelligence technology has prompted the real-time and accurate observation measurements of tidal bore, the basis of which is tidal bore propagation velocity. In this article, we construct a tidal observation system framework based on UAV and computer vision in order to obtain the tidal bore propagating velocity datasets. Firstly, we focus on the identification of tidal headlines based on the Sobel edge detection, the improved Otsu image segmentation algorithm and the edge connection algorithm with an accuracy of 91%. And then, the detected tidal headlines could be used to control the flight parameters of UAV in order to stably track tidal bore on the specified route with the deviation range below 0.5, and finally to acquire the tidal bore propagation velocity datasets. Comparing with the propagation velocity of the tidal line measured on site, the error of the results is maintained within 0.1 m/s, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed observation method.
无人机(UAV)和人工智能技术的快速发展,促使人们对潮孔进行实时、精确的观测测量,而潮孔传播速度是潮孔观测的基础。本文构建了基于无人机和计算机视觉的潮汐观测系统框架,以获取潮孔传播速度数据集。首先,我们基于 Sobel 边缘检测、改进的 Otsu 图像分割算法和边缘连接算法对潮汐标题进行识别,准确率达到 91%。然后,利用检测到的潮汐标题控制无人机的飞行参数,使其在指定航线上稳定跟踪潮孔,偏差范围小于 0.5,最后获取潮孔传播速度数据集。与现场测量的潮线传播速度相比,结果误差保持在 0.1 m/s 以内,证明了我们提出的观测方法的有效性。
