This paper presents a transport layer protocol for multi-path networks with blockage. Using urban SATCOM as an example, we see from data taken from a 2006 measurement campaign that these blockages are generally on the order of 1-5 seconds in length and the links are blocked approximately 33% of the time. To compensate for this type of impairment, we have developed a multipath IP overlay routing algorithm, a random linear coding reliability scheme, and a maximum-queue-based (MQCC) congestion control algorithm. MQCC uses average buffer occupancy as a measure of the congestion in a network (as opposed to packet loss or round trip time (RTT)) and updates the transmission rate of each source to avoid network congestion. This allows us to design a congestion control algorithm that is independent of the channel conditions and can be made resilient to channel losses. The reliability scheme uses selective negative acknowledgments (SNACKs) to guarantee packet delivery to the destination. We show through simulation that we can approach the optimal benchmark in realistic lossy blockage channels.

The desired working condition for the unregulated LLC resonant converter is to have the switching frequency equal to the resonant frequency in order to achieve higher efficiency. However, since the converter works in open-loop condition, the switching frequency usually deviates from the resonant frequency in real converter prototype. In this paper, a novel switching frequency control scheme to track the resonant frequency is proposed. Theoretically, the primary side current of LLC resonant converter is a pure sinusoidal waveform when it works at resonant frequency. The proposed control algorithm is based on tracking the minimum value of the total resonant current harmonic to realize the switching frequency tracking the resonant frequency. A closed-loop digital controller is presented to calculate the total resonant current harmonic to estimate the shape of the waveform. The switching frequency can be well controlled to track the resonant frequency. As a result, the higher efficiency can be achieved.

In recent years, our research group has developed state of the art 3D sonar sensors [1]-[3] which use a low-cost MEMS microphone array for real-time acoustic imaging in air. Using this sensor, various robotic applications have been developed [2], including obstacle avoidance and corridor following and SLAM [1]. The developed sensor is capable of localizing an arbitrary number of reflectors, and generates 2D (range versus azimuth) or 3D (range versus azimuth and elevation) acoustic images of the environment by emitting a broadband, spatially omnidirectional acoustic emission. This emission is reflected back by the environment to the microphone array. Using array beamforming algorithms an acoustic image of the environment is created, which subsequently can be either visualized or used in various control algorithms. The overview of the developed sensor array can be seen in figure 1.

The Finnish realization of coordinated universal time, designated UTC(MIKE), is derived from a single active hydrogen maser at the Centre for Metrology and Accreditation (MIKES). The frequency of a hydrogen maser typically drifts with time, leading to an approximately parabolic phase shift. At MIKES, a programmable delay generator is used to negate the phase drift of the maser. An improved control algorithm for the phase compensation has lead to a ten-fold improvement in time stability compared to our previous results. With time-transfer based on precise point positioning, we have been able to keep UTC(MIKE) within ±6 ns of UTC during the past year even though our only link to primary frequency standards is through the *** and Circular T. Moreover, improved predictability has lowered the time deviation (TDEV) of UTC(MIKE) to a level below 500 ps when data from the past 10 months is considered.

The article discusses the new test for robot vision to see in 3D mode enhancing the scope for image-recognition algorithms. It discusses how the algorithms have been trained to recognize and categorize objects under different categories. It also reveals that building a full-proof image database complete with 3D information will facilitate the robots to identify the objects in a better way.

For decades, many countries have developed a variety of multifingered dexterous hands. However, most of the multi-finger-fingers that have come out at present aim to achieve high dexterity, with a large number of joints, a very complex structure, high degree of freedom, tedious control algorithm and high cost, which is unrealistic for practical application. Therefore, this paper designed an artificial muscle-driven[1] three-finger dexterous hand, which has good flexibility[2], very light quality, large input-output ratio, low manufacturing cost, can complete complex grasping and operating tasks, high dexterity advantages.

This paper presents a fractional order extremum seeking control scheme for maximum power point tracking tasks to better accommodate rapid varying solar irradiance for photovoltaic (PV) arrays. The stability analysis of the proposed control algorithm is presented first. Then the new algorithm is benchmarked against the integer order extremum seeking control. Our extensive simulation and experimental results show that, our proposed maximum power point tracker has faster convergence speed in comparison with integer order one.

The present work deals with diminishing the effects of wireless communication latency in time-sensitive networks. It takes advantage of modern approaches that offer bounded latency and it focuses on methods to cope with the nondeterministic delays introduced by communication *** observer-predictor scheme module is designed and added in the control loop to prevent the performance degradation when a wireless network is introduced. The goal is to allow the use of same controllers used in wired networks. This module may exploit information provided by the wireless communication devices, such as expected latency, timestamp, and time synchronization along the *** proposed module allows the controller to have a performance similar as when in a wired network. This enables wireless networked control in systems with low time constants (i.e. timesensitive).Lab experiments are presented in real-time to illustrate the observer-predictor scheme module proposed. Finally, the conclusions and future work are presented.

The risk of hypoglycemia is one of the main concerns in treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this paper we present a head-to-head comparison of a currently used insulin-only controller and a prospective bihormonal controller for blood glucose in people with T1D. The bihormonal strategy uses insulin to treat hyperglycemia as well as glucagon to ensure fast recovery from hypoglycemic episodes. Two separate model predictive controllers (MPC) based on patient-specific models handle insulin and glucagon infusion. In addition, the control algorithm consists of a Kalman filter and a meal time insulin bolus calculator. The feedback is obtained from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). We implement a bihormonal simulation model with time-varying parameters available for 3 subjects to compare the strategies. We consider a protocol with 3 events - a correct mealtime insulin bolus, a missed bolus and a bolus overestimated by 60%. During normal operation both strategies provide similar results. The contribution of glucagon becomes evident after administration of the overestimated insulin bolus. In a 10h period following an overbolused meal, the bihormonal strategy reduces time spent in hypoglycemia in the most severe case by almost 15% (1.5h), outperforming the insulin-only control. Therefore, glucagon contributes to the safety of an Artificial Pancreas.
