Sounds produced by linear stretching of nonvibrato single tones fail to preserve their original microvariations. While looping is commonly used for elongation with wavetable synthesis, this method requires careful attention to periodic waveform boundaries. Time extension by time reversal ensures continuity in the time domain, but this method causes audible clicks due to waveform phase reversals. This problem is overcome by using a pitch-synchronous phase vocoder method that generates time- varying harmonic amplitude and frequency envelopes. Applying a time-reversal “zig-zag” method to these envelopes and converting to the time domain via sinusoidal additive synthesis generates elongated versions of the original sound without audible clicks. To retain realism, original attack and decay time data are preserved. For shortening, envelopes are cross-faded between the attack-end and decay-begin points. In addition, for sounds having significant rendering of expression via harmonic amplitude changes, smooth amplitude contours are separated from high frequency microvariations, where the former are elongated by linear interpolation and the latter are elongated by the zig-zag method. As an application, the time-scaling algorithm has been implemented in a score-processing music synthesis program.

The stabilization problem for quadcopters with saturated actuators is considered. A simple adaptive output control approach is proposed. The control law “consecutive compensator” is augmented with the auxiliary integral loop and anti-windup scheme. Efficiency of the obtained regulator was confirmed by simulation of the quadcopter control problem.
Since the antennas are very low in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) scenarios, the communication link is easily blocked by other vehicles. The shadowing effect caused by other vehicles has been ignored in most of the existing...

A current-limiting controller with nonlinear dynamics is proposed in this paper for single-phase grid-tied inverters. The inverter is connected to the grid through an LCL filter and it is proven that the proposed controller can achieve accurate real and reactive power regulation. By suitably selecting the controller parameters, it is shown by using the nonlinear input-to-state stability theory that the inverter current remains below a given value at all times. This is achieved without external limiters, additional switches or monitoring devices and the controller remains a continuous-time system guaranteeing the boundedness of the system states. Guidelines for selecting the controller parameters are also given to provide a complete controller design procedure. Simulation results of a single-phase grid-tied inverter are presented to verify the desired power regulation of the proposed controller and its current-limiting capability.

The plasmodium of true slime mold Physarum polycephalum is a unicellular and multinuclear giant amoeba. Since the cellular organism has some computational abilities, it is attracting much attention in the field of information science. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the optimization behavior of the plasmodium for a single-modality stimulus, and there are few studies on how the organism adapts to multi-modal stimuli. We stimulated the plasmodium with mixture of attractant and repellent stimuli, and we observed bifurcation in the chemotactic behavior of the plasmodium.

Differential evolution algorithms represent an efficient framework to solve complicated optimization tasks with many variables and complex constraints. Nevertheless, the classic differential evolution algorithm does not guarantee the convergence to the global minimum of the cost function. Therefore, the authors developed a modification of this algorithm that ensures asymptotic global convergence. The article provides a comparison of the ability to identify the global minimum of the cost function for the following three algorithms: the classic differential evolution algorithm, the above mentioned modified differential evolution algorithm and an algorithm of random sampling enhanced by a hill climbing procedure. We designed a series of numerical experiments to perform this comparison. The results indicate that the classic differential evolution algorithm is in general an extremely poor global optimizer (global minimum found in 2% of cases). On the other hand the performance of the modified differential evolution algorithm was considerably better (global minimum found in 83% of cases).

A nonlinear controller with an inherent current-limiting capability is presented in this paper for different types of dc/dc power converters (boost, buck-boost). The proposed controller is based on the idea of applying a dynamic virtual resistance in series with the inductor of the converter, which varies according to a nonlinear dynamical system. It is shown that the proposed approach acts independently from the converter parameters (inductance, capacitance) or the load and has a generic structure that can be used to achieve different regulation scenarios, e.g. voltage, current or power regulation. Based on the nonlinear model of the boost and the buck-boost converter, it is analytically proven that the inductor current remains always bounded below a given maximum value using input-to-state stability theory under a suitable choice of the controller parameters. Hence, the proposed control strategy offers an inherent protection property since the power of the converter is limited below a given value during transients or unrealistic power demands. Simulation results for both types of dc/dc converters are presented to verify the desired controller performance.
