The problem of designing a feedback system with prescribed properties is attacked via fractional representation approach to analysis and synthesis. To this end we let <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">H</tex> denote ring operators the model given plant as ratio two in . This, turn, leads simplified test determine whether or not which that embedded has complete characterization those compensators will "place" theory formulated...
Unlike the many soft computing applications where it suffices to achieve a "good approximation most of time," control system must be stable all time. As such, if one desires learn law in real-time, fusion techniques appropriate with hard maintain stability constraint and guarantee convergence is required. The objective paper describe an adaptive dynamic programming algorithm (ADPA) which fuses optimal cost (or return) functional for stabilizable nonlinear unknown dynamics verify algorithm....
The results of a study the electrochemical intercalation lithium into Lonza KS15 artificial graphite in 1M PC/EC (50:50) electrolyte are presented here. Electrolyte decomposition reactions occur during first discharge at about 0.8 V vs. Li metal and their extent is greatly reduced by addition crown ethers with 12 4 being most effective. A mechanism proposed for which includes least two types process, namely, propylene ethylene evolution formation on surface solid interphase film alkyl...
An explicit relationship between the fractional representation approach feedback system design and algebro-geometric to theory, is formulated used derive a global solution problem. These techniques are then applied simultaneous stabilization problem, yielding natural geometric criterion for set of plants be simultaneously stabilized by single compensator.
Abstract It is shown that a multivariable digital filter stable if and only A(z1, z2…,zn)≠0 when | z1 1| = z2|=… |zn| 1 the Nyquist plot for single-variable function A(z, z, … z) does not encircle zero. Here z2… zn) denominator polynomial of relatively prime rational transfer filter.

The problem of designing a compensator for specified plant which simultaneously stabilizes the resultant feedback system and causes it to track prescribed family inputs and/or reject disturbances is considered. A set linear design equations, in space stable systems, formulated general systems setting an explicit parameterization solution obtained class "generalized multivariate" systems. theory illustrated with several single multivariate examples.

A simple, physically insightful method for dynamic modeling of manipulators containing closed kinematic chains is presented. Founded on D'Alembert's principle, the centers around a transformation from well-understood dynamics serial and open-chain mechanisms to closed-chain robot models. The framework model fosters straightforward extensions engineering activities in areas digital simulation, real-time control, parameter identification, optimal path planning manipulators. algorithms needed...
Sea spray within the lowest meter of atmospheric surface layer was measured with an optical instrument supported on a raft. Sizes droplets appear to follow two‐segment equilibrium spectrum; division two size regions production zone (the ejection range jet drops), however, differs from that outside. Vertical distributions droplet concentrations vary greatly size; critical diameters for suspension under various wind velocities are determined. The mass at elevations were also obtained....
The equilibrium As4(g)=2As2(g) has been studied in detail over solid phase MoAs2 and Mo2As3 using the Knudsen effusion technique combined with a mass spectrometer. A ``see-through'' ion source liquid-nitrogen cooled condensation plate were used to eliminate spurious As4(g) which encountered by other investigators. Excellent agreement was obtained between second- third-law enthalpies. From constants measured 807 1050°K, following heats determined: As4(g)=2As2(g), Δ H0°=53.95± 1.1,...
