In this paper, a swing-up controller for the Pendubot which is a typical example of nonlinear underactuated systems is proposed. The proposed method consists in three steps, Step 1: a swing-up control of a first link,...

industrial designers and engineering designers: Can't we all just get along? Unfortunately, when push comes to shove, it's engineering that tends to win. How can schools better prepare industrial designers for the work force? engineering designers and industrial designers would get along much better if they shared common knowledge and common goals—long before they reached the workplace.

In this paper, we propose a novel multimedia terminal in which the presentation tempo of the contents, such as videos, slideshows, and animation, are determined by the user's personal tempo. We examined the relationship between the user's personal tempo and a presentation tempo that the user prefers. The results showed that there was a correlation between the personal tempo and the presentation tempo. We then developed a multimedia terminal by using Flash. The terminal has two new functions: a personal-tempo measuring function and a display-speed control function that changes the presentation tempo of the contents. This tempo is determined by the user's personal tempo.

This paper is concerned with the design of Multi-Inputs and Multi-Outputs (MIMO) predictive PID controllers, which have similar performance to that obtainable from model-based predictive controllers. A new PID control structure is defined which incorporates the prediction of future outputs and uses future set point. A method is proposed to calculate the optimal values of the PID gains from generalised predictive control results. A decentralized version of the predictive PID controllers is presented and the stability of the closed loop system is studied. Simulation studies demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed controller compared with a conventional PID controller. The results are also compared with generalised predictive control solutions.

In an era of fiscal austerity, downsizing and unforgiving pressure upon human and economic capital, it is an Augean task to identify resources for fresh and creative work. The realities of the day and the practical demands of more immediate fleet needs can often dictate higher priorities. Yet, the Navy must avoid eating its seed corn. Exercising both technical insight and management foresight, the fleet, the R&D community, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OpNav) and the product engineering expertise of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) are joined and underway with integrated efforts to marry new, fully demonstrated technologies and operational urgencies. Defense funding today cannot sponsor all work that can be mission-justified over the long term because budgets are insufficient to support product maturation within the classical development cycle. However, by rigorous technical filtering and astute engineering of both marketplace capabilities and currently available components, it is possible in a few select cases to compress and, in effect, integrate advanced development (6.3), engineering development (6.4), weapon procurement (WPN), ship construction (SCN), operation and maintenance (O&M,N) budgetary categories when fleet criticalities and technology opportunities can happily meet. In short, 6.3 funds can be applied directly to ''ripe gateways'' so modern technology is inserted into existing troubled or aging systems, sidestepping the lengthy, traditional development cycle and accelerating practical payoffs to recurrent fleet problems. To produce such constructive results has required a remarkable convergence of sponsor prescience and engineering workforce excellence. The paper describes, extensively, the philosophy of approach, transition strategy, polling of fleet needs, technology assessment, and management team requirements. The process for culling and selecting specific candidate tasks for SHARP sponsorship (matching operational need with t
