In situ measurements of the spatiotemporal distribution of dissolved gases in the ocean are useful for a wide variety of applications including monitoring biogeochemical cycles (e.g., methane, oxygen, and carbon dioxide fluxes), detecting pollutants, studying submarine groundwater discharge, and tracking chemical gradients in water columns or sediment interfaces. Over the past two decades, underwater membrane inlet mass spectrometry has emerged as a leading technology for in situ dissolved gas analysis, leveraging various mass analyzers such as quadrupole, ion trap, and cycloidal systems. While quadrupoles and ion traps face challenges such as water vapor interference and resolution limitations, cycloidal analyzers offer higher resolution at low mass-to-charge ratios with reduced power requirements. However, they have historically suffered from sensitivity and sequential analysis limitations. Recent advances, including ion array detectors and computational sensing, now enable simultaneous mass detection and improved sensitivity in cycloidal mass analyzers. This study introduces the development of an underwater coded aperture miniature mass spectrometer (UW-CAMMS), incorporating a cycloidal mass analyzer, ion array detector, and spatially coded apertures. A low-power electronic control system for the UW-CAMMS is designed and characterized, with performance comparable to laboratory-based systems, showcasing progress toward efficient, compact underwater dissolved gas monitoring. This technology can be used to study dynamic processes in marine, freshwater, and brackish systems with high spatial and temporal resolution.

With advancements in agricultural technology, the full mechanization of rice straw wheat planting has been achieved. However, issues such as missed seeding, uneven row spacing, and poor uniformity of row replenishment often arise due to wheel slippage in wheeled wheat seeders. These problems manual replanting after emergence, reducing efficiency and increasing labor costs. To address these challenges, a speed-adaptive wheat seeding control system based on speed radar was developed. This system comprises a pneumatic wheat seeding device, an automatic speed-following control system, a human-machine interface, and a stepper motor. Leveraging an embedded controller, the system dynamically adjusts motor speed based on real-time forward speed to ensure precise seeding. Using fuzzy PID control, the system dynamically adjusts motor speed, achieving row spacing consistency below 3.9 % and seeding stability within 1.3 %, even at varying speeds. This system addresses critical challenges in precision agriculture, enhancing planting efficiency and reducing labor costs. This innovation enhances planting efficiency, reduces labor costs, and ensures adaptability to varying tractor speeds, meeting the precision requirements of wheat planting. (c) 2024 The Authors.

Precise path following is essential for reliable multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) operation. Current control strategies suffer from control singularities due to a mismatch between the number of actuators and the degrees of freedom of the MUAV. This paper proposes a 2-manifold modeling approach for MUAV control systems. Representing a MUAV as a 2-dimensional manifold eliminates singularities and potentially simplifies the control structure. This can lead to more precise and reliable MUAV flights, paving the way for broader adoption in civil applications. A simulation-based study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the 2-manifold model compared to the conventional point-mass model. The study assesses metrics such as smoothness, stability, and control effort. The findings of this research have the potential to significantly improve the controllability and performance of multi-rotor UAVs.

Approximation of the set of trajectories of a control system described by Urysohn type integral equation is studied. It is assumed that the system is affine with respect to the control vector and is nonlinear with respect to the state vector. As the set of admissible control functions, the closed ball centred at the origin with radius r of the space $ L_q(\Omega;\mathbb {R}<^>m) $ Lq(Omega;Rm), $ q\in (1,\infty ) $ q is an element of(1,infinity) is chosen, where $ \Omega \subset \mathbb {R}<^>k $ Omega subset of Rk is a compact set. The trajectory of the system is defined as a multivariable integrable function from the space $ L_p(\Omega;\mathbb {R}<^>n) $ Lp(Omega;Rn) satisfying the system's equation almost everywhere, where $ 1/q+1/p=1 $ 1/q+1/p=1. An approximation of the set of trajectories by a set, consisting of a finite number of trajectories and generated by piecewise constant control functions, is presented. Convergence of the approximating sets of trajectories is proved.

In recent times, gas is becoming one of the most significant resources utilised worldwide. The continuous increase in demand requires an increase in the production and preparation of gas for further utilisation. Conventional sources cannot satisfy this need, so it is necessary to resort to alternative methods of obtaining raw materials;one of the most promising is the development of unconventional reservoirs. The study considers a structurally complex gas-bearing reservoir;due to the peculiarities of the structure, the use of traditional approaches to gas production causes a number of difficulties and significantly reduces efficiency. A structurally inhomogeneous reservoir is considered a distributed object;a pressure field control system is synthesised. As a result, the efficiency of the system is evaluated, and its scalability is analysed.

To solve the problems of slow system response speed and poor uniformity of seeding and fertilizer application, this paper designs a control system for synchronized corn seeding and precision hole fertilization. A sliding mode control method with integral variable structure and disturbance observer composite (ISMDO-SMC) is proposed. Furthermore, a three-factor, five-level quadratic orthogonal rotation combination experiment was conducted to develop a mathematical model for parameter optimization using a multi-objective variable optimization method. Simulation results from four algorithms were compared, revealing a regulation time of 0.42 seconds, a recovery time to steady state of 0.13 seconds, and a descending rotational speed of 2.5 r/min, which demonstrates the strongest dynamic response and stability. Moreover, the optimal parameter combination was determined to be the forward speed of 2.8 km/h, the fertilizer discharge shaft speed of 42 r/min, and the fertilizer discharger opening of 5.5 mm, resulting in the fertilizer application error of 1.7 g and the seed-fertilizer spacing error of 2.2 mm. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for achieving efficient and stable seeding and fertilization operations.

In this paper, it is proposed to consider the improvement of batch rubber mixer by increasing its capacity through the development of a control system. The article presents the results of synthesis of the control system of the temperature regime of the rubber mixing process. On the basis of equations describing the dynamics of the process under study, a mathematical model of the mixture cooling process is drawn up. According to the results of topological synthesis it was expedient to apply a feedback tracking system. Using the frequency method of synthesis, the coefficients of controllers were calculated. A PIDcontroller was selected and the direct quality indicators of the control system were analyzed. The developed solution can be used to increase the productivity of the rubber mixer due to the possibility of using modes with high heat energy release. This, in turn, is removed by the cooling system, the automatic control system of which is synthesized in this work.

This paper aims to propose a cost-efficient 5-axis hybrid machining robot for handicraft carving. For this purpose, a conceptual design is performed with a hierarchical design strategy which consists of a 2UPR&2RPS parallel manipulator (PM) and an orthogonal sliding gantry. Based on the conceptual design scheme, a kinematic analysis is conducted to yield the inverse/forward position formulations and the predicted reachable workspace. Meanwhile, an open-architecture numerical control system is developed for the proposed hybrid machining robot, which includes hardware construction, post processing and human-machine interface (HMI) development. Finally, a laboratory prototype is fabricated and integrated with the developed control system to construct a 5-axis machining unit. A set of test is performed on the robot to verify its 5-axis machining capability. The test results indicate that the proposed hybrid machining robot provide a promising solution for handicraft carving.
