Micro-contact printing (MCP) is a scheme that allows a substrate or surface to be functionalized freely with a protein of extracellular matrix (ECM), in a well-defined manner. MCP can be used to regulate cell adhesion geometry on a substrate and in controlling wound healing process. In this study, human colon cancer cell line, HT29 were grown on a micro-contact printed pattern of fibronectin with repeat gratings of 25µm, 50µm, and 100µm wide, for 48 hours. The cells alignments to the patterned substrates were then computed, where 0° means 100% alignment to the pattern. This was done with the purpose of finding those pattern that stimulated the best degree of cell alignment. The quantitative analysis of the study revealed that HT29 cells aligned most readily to the 50µm and 100µm pattern with a mean angle of alignment of 4.8°±1.5SD and 5.7°±1.4SD respectively. On the other hand, HT29 poorly aligned to 25um and the un-patterned fibronectin-coated substrate with a mean angle of alignment of 33.4°±8.4SD and 51.1°±9.5SD respectively. Furthermore, the 50µm stamp pattern was used to investigate the influence of electric field on the HT29 alignment to the fibronectin patterned substrate. Electroporated and non-electroporated HT29 cells were cultured on the 50µm patterned substrates for 48 hours. The result revealed that there is no significant difference in the degree of alignment between the electrically treated with a mean angle of 4.2°±1.4SD and the untreated cells with a mean angle of 4.8°±1.5SD. However electrically treated cell aligned faster (within 31 hours of seeding) as compared to the untreated cells that aligned after 44 hours of seeding. Hence, the result of the study revealed that Micro-contact printing technique together with pulse electric field could offer a potential faster method of controlling wound healing process.

This paper investigates modelling vehicle following using Fuzzy-Neural Network (FNN). Architecture, training sets, and learning rate are manipulated to create 24 combinations of FNN. Generating two sets of weights per combination yields 48 simulations. Acceleration and deceleration profiles from seven electrical tricycles are observed while navigating through the University of the Philippines. A force equation has been applied to simulate vehicular dynamics. Each combination is then subjected to test run simulations to examine vehicular reactions to distance maintenance, velocity matching, and change in applied force to the vehicle. Results show that two 2 hidden layer FN and two NN allow a vehicle to successfully follow a lead vehicle.

Modern Elevator or Ropeless Elevator is modern elevator which works without using rope and suitable for skyscrapers transportations. Commonly transportations activities are going up and down with variations of load and distance at least that what traditional elevator does. This research is about investigate current performance by Fuzzy-PID simulation to see how this modern elevator works with variation of load and distance as the goal is for using on human and industrial activities. Experiment is made by testing on models from previous research with variations on load and distance to analyze the effect on current, as the key for the system to force and speed. Result from the experiment with random or in order number of load and distance shows that a lot of ripple occur on current which will be effect on stabilization of the system, but in other hand few ripple occur on force and speed Which give recommend that system need more investigation on improvement for structure, electricity and controller.

This work employs load research data and load factor method to calculate load losses in distribution system. The datasets during 2008–2012 are obtained from The Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand. It is found that the loss factor is proportional to the load factor. But, at a given load factor, the loss constant coefficient may vary depending on daily load pattern. Thus, the load losses vary significantly with location and load class. It is proposed to allocate load losses for each service area and each tariff schedule based on either peak load or energy consumption.

Conventional parallel cascade control structure (PCCS) does not yield satisfactory closed-loop performance for processes with large time delay. To overcome this limitation, this manuscript presents a modified Smith delay compensator based PCCS. Stable, integrating and unstable processes with dead time are considered in this work. The proposed PCCS consists of a secondary disturbance rejection controller, a stabilizing controller, a setpoint tracking controller, a setpoint filter and a lag filter for the predicted disturbance. Settings of the primary setpoint filter and setpoint tracking controller are obtained using direct synthesis approach whereas the secondary disturbance rejection controller is designed using internal model control approach. Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion is used to design the stabilizing controller. Moreover, the method of choosing primary and secondary closed-loop time constants is discussed. Simulation studies show that the proposed scheme results in enhanced regulatory performance which is very much essential in process industries.

This paper proposes an optimization algorithm to regulate energy consumption and powertrain control of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The algorithm is applied on a prototype vehicle manufactured by adding an electric motor to an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The control system is designed using an embedded micro-controller unit (MCU). The main targets in this study are to improve the electric energy consumption efficiency and to reduce the ICE usage to minimum. The MCU controls the automatic switching between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine of the ATV. Furthermore, the system gives guidance for driver to use the limited resource efficiently at critical energy level. It restricts the driver performance using pulse width modulation (PWM). PWM duty cycle is adjusted to get optimum performance in term of maximizing the travel distance. Various driving scenarios are analyzed in this study. Factors such travel speed, energy level, stop-and-go frequency have been taken into consideration. The experiments showed significant improvement.

The ongoing trend in technology made home appliances and electronic devices connect to the Internet. However, an issue on energy efficiency is still a big problem to different countries although these technologies were used. Recently, the European Commission introduced the use of Power Line Communications (PLC) in which data is being transmitted through power lines as a preparation for transition from the Electric Grid to a new concept Smart Grid. PLC being a new wired protocol is still under development to communicate with other protocols including wireless protocol for seamless connection. The study focuses on interconnecting ZigBee wireless protocol to the said wired protocol by developing a gateway to convert their protocols into one common protocol. A method used in converting protocols includes varying the PLC's Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) into a computer architecture which enables Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitted (UART) communication to successfully interconnect with ZigBee. The said interconnection is applied on a fuzzy logic controlled light system in which transmission test and power consumption was evaluated. The results of the analysis were presented to which they can be used as a guide for interconnecting other protocols with PLC.

The results of the analysis were presented to which they can be used as a guide for interconnecting other protocols with PLC.","PeriodicalId":6540,"journal":{"name":"2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering (ICCSCE)","volume":"3 1","pages":"430-434"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88010401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
