In this paper, using the fuzzy theory and gray theory, a concept of the degree of fuzzy infection and a new reliability analysis method based on the relation of fuzzy infection were proposed, and the mathematical mode of series connection and parallel connection system was first set up and their rationalities were proven. An illustrational example was given to demonstrate the effectiveness of this theory.

Internet congestion control system is considered as a closed-loop feedback system with time-delay. A proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller is then established as active queue management (AQM) scheme to adjust the congestion marked possibility at the links in Internet, whose parameters is auto-tuned by applying the minimization of an integral criterion for adapting the change of the network system. The simulations show that the new AQM scheme can control the size of the queue in the buffer to an expected length and has the robustness for the loading perturbation and the parameter change in the network.

In this paper, we investigate a new type of hybrid element to realize a human-friendly support device. The element is a flexible actuator (called Sponge Core Soft Rubber Actuator) and its structure is a soft mechanism in which a sponge rubber is covered with silicone rubber. In addition to its actuation capability, the element can estimate external forces by making use of the relation between inner pressure and external force. Therefore, the element can be used as a hybrid element that has both actuator and force sensor functions. This paper discusses the hybrid element design, actuator characteristics, and force control and sensing abilities of the element. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the practical effectiveness of the proposed hybrid element.

This paper discusses a parallel genetic algorithm (GA) which focuses on the local operator for Traveling salesman problem (TSP). The local operator is a simple GA named as Local Genetic Algorithm (LGA). The LGA is combined to another GA named as Global Genetic Algorithm (GGA). It increases the computational time running a GA as a local operator in another one. To solve this problem, we build a parallel system based on our previous works for running the LGA to speed up the process. The results show that LGA improve the search quality significantly and it is more efficient running LGA with parallel system than single CPU.

In this paper, improved rotor position estimation for position sensorless control system of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) is presented. For more accurate rotor position estimation, the phase locked loop (PLL) based position interpolation is adapted. In the current-flux-rotor position lookup table based rotor position estimation, the inherent current and flux-linkage ripple can cause the position estimation error. Instead of the conventional low-pass filter, the PLL based position interpolation technique is used for the better dynamic performance. The developed rotor position estimation scheme is realized using TMS320 F2812 digital signal processor and prototype 1-hp SRM.

Recently, the capsule endoscope has been developed to observe image from the inside intestine. Such a capsule endoscope does not have locomotion or hold by it self. To get proper diagnosis and meditation, it is necessary to control capsule from outside to enable to guide locomotion. The designed and implemented capsule has feasibility to contracts the small intestine by electrical stimulus from stimulus pad. When the small intestine is contracted by electrical stimulus, the capsule can move to opposite direction which can boost moving speed of the capsule or change moving direction. The implemented stimuli capsule always monitors excessive energy transmit and automatically shut down electrical stimuli to make more secure. Also the stimuli capsule goes to stand by mode to save battery, and reset by comparator circuit which is connected to two stimulus pad. To verify the design and implement stimuli capsule, in-vitro experiments are performed with pig's small intestine.

A systematic methodology for generating multi-folded torus chaotic attractors from a simple three-dimensional piecewise-linear system is presented in this paper. Theoretical analysis shows that multi-folded torus chaotic attractors can be created via alternative switching between two piecewise-linear systems. A novel circuit diagram is designed for physically creating multi-folded torus chaotic attractors. This is the first time in the literature to experimentally verify a maximum 9-folded torus chaotic attractor that is generated by an analog circuit.

Because currently intrusion detection systems cannot detect undefined intrusion behavior effectively, according to the robustness and adaptability of the genetic algorithms, this paper integrates the genetic algorithms into an intrusion detection system, and a detection algorithm based on network traffic is proposed. This algorithm is a real-time and self-study algorithm and can detect undefined intrusion behaviors effectively.

Research Summary: Drug policy reformers and defenders contest the extent to which low-level drug offenders are being sent to prison and for how long. Using data from the Survey of Inmates in Federal and State Correctional Facilities, 1997 (BJS, 2000), we assess the seriousness of incarcerated drug offenders along dimensions of dangerousness, culpability, and harm—specifically, functional role and drug group participation, type and amount of drugs, firearms involvement, and criminal conviction and arrest history. We find that only about 1.6% of federal and 5.7% of state inmates can be described as “unambiguously low-level.” Alternatively, not many are “kingpins.” Rather, most fall into a middle spectrum representing different degrees of seriousness that depend on what factors are emphasized. Policy Implications: Our findings dampen hopes of dramatically reducing prison populations by getting out of prison those who are unambiguously low-level drug offenders. They simply do not represent the majority of incarcerated drug offenders. In particular, most played some role in distribution, so eliminating prison terms for users (decriminalization) would not have affected many now in prison. Indeed, if decriminalization increased demand, it could plausibly increase prison populations by increasing the number of suppliers still subject to imprisonment. On the other hand, “drug courier exceptions” to sentencing laws that apply to minor role offenders possessing large quantities could have a greater prison reduction impact.

This paper discusses the control of the compensation voltages in dynamic voltage restorers (DVR). On analyzing the power circuit of a DVR system, control limitations and control targets are presented for the compensation voltage control. Based on the preceeded power stage analysis, a novel controller for the compensation voltages in DVRs is proposed by a feedforward control scheme. This paper also discusses the time delay problems in the control system of DVRs. Digital control systems inevitably have control delay due to its the sampling of signal, the switching frequency of an inverter, and the signal delay due to sensor itself. The total signal delay is considerable in real implementation and it endanger the system stablity. This paper analyzes the relationship among the control delay, closed loop damping factor, and the output filter parameters of DVR inverters. Based on the control system analysis, a guideline is proposed to design the appropriate output filter parameters and the inverter switching frequency for DVRs. The proposed theory is verified by an experimental DVR system, which is controlled in full digital manner.
