This paper aims to further improve previously developed design for Acrobot walking based on partial exact feedback linearization of order 3. Namely, such an exact system transformation leads to an almost linear system where error dynamics along trajectory to be tracked is a 4-dimensional linear time-varying system having 3 time-varying entries only, the remaining entries being either zero or one. In such a way, exponentially stable tracking can be obtained by quadratically stabilizing a linear system with polytopic uncertainty. The current improvement is based on applying LMI methods to solve this problem numerically. This careful analysis significantly improves previously known approaches. Numerical simulations of Acrobot walking based on the above mentioned LMI design are demonstrated as well.

Intensity inhomogeneity or intensity non-uniformity (INU) is an undesired phenomenon that represents the main obstacle for MR image segmentation and registration methods. Various techniques have been proposed to eliminate or compensate the INU, most of which are embedded into clustering algorithms. This paper proposes a hybrid c-means clustering approach to replace the FCM algorithm found in several existing solutions. The novel clustering model is assisted by a pre-filtering technique for Gaussian and impulse noise elimination, and a smoothening filter that helps the c-means algorithm at the estimation of inhomogeneity as a slowly varying additive or multiplicative noise. The slow variance of the estimated INU is assured by a smoothening filter that performs a context dependent averaging, based on a morphological criterion. The experiments using 2-D synthetic phantoms and real MR images show that the proposed method provides more accurate and more efficient segmentation than the FCM based approach. The produced segmentation and fuzzy membership values can serve as excellent support for 3-D registration and segmentation techniques.

This paper studies a new modification of the anti-synchronization chaos shift keying scheme for the secure encryption and decryption of data. A new concept of the detection of the correct/incorect binary value in the receiver is used. The method proposed here requires very reasonable amount of data to encrypt and time to decrypt a single bit. Basically, to encrypt a single bit, only one iteration is needed. Moreover, the security of this method is systematically investigated showing its good resistance to typical decryption attacks. Theoretical results are supported by the numerical simulations.

This paper studies yet another improvement of the anti-synchronization chaos shift keying scheme for the secure encryption and decryption of the digital data. A new concept of the detection of the correct binary value in the receiver is introduced here. The proposed method requires very reasonable amount of data to encrypt and time to decrypt one bit. Basically, to encrypt one bit, only one iteration (i.e. only one real number of 6 valid digits) is needed. At the same time, thanks to the anti-synchronization detection based on the synchronization error second derivative, almost 100% of the carrying chaotic signal can be used. The security of the proposed method can be systematically investigated showing its good resistance against typical decryption attacks. The theoretical analysis of the introduced method is supported by the numerical experiments with digital data encryption.

This paper presents a patient specific deformable heart model that involves the known electric and mechanic properties of the cardiac cells and tissue. The accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm was tested for anisotropic and inhomogeneous 3D domains using ten Tusscher's and Nygen's cardiac cell models. During propagation of depolarization wave, the kinetic, compositional and rotational anisotropy is included in the tissue, organ and torso model. The applied patient specific parameters were determined by an evolutionary computation method. An intensive parameter reduction was performed using the abstract formulation of the searching space. This patient specific parameter representation enables the adjustment of deformable model parameters in real-time. The validation process was performed using measured ECG and ultrasound image records that were compared with simulated signals and shapes using an abstract, parameterized evaluation criterion.

Abstract: This paper presents experimental verification and comparison of damage detection methods based on changes in mode shapes such as: mode shape curvature (MSC), modal assurance criterion (MAC), strain energy (SE), modified Laplacian operator (MLO), generalized fractal dimension (GFD) and Wavelets Transform (WT). The object of the investigation is to determine benefits and drawbacks of the aforementioned methods and to develop data preprocessing algorithms for increasing damage assessment effectiveness by using signal processing techniques such as interpolation and extrapolation measured points. Noise reduction algorithms based on moving average, median filter and wavelet decomposition are also tested. The experiments were performed on a 1m long steal cantilever beam. Damage was introduced in form of 10% and 20% deep saw cut, placed in 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 90% beam length. Measurements were made using non-contact Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer at 125 points equally spaced along beam length.

The paper proposes an alternative way to solve robust reference tracking problem. Instead of rejecting the effect of the disturbance directly, an intermediate step is built into the state estimation problem. The advantage of the methodology is to elaborate a modified optimal state estimation problem taking the unbiased estimate of the disturbance into account. Henceforward, the solution of the discrete time, optimal LQ minimax tracking problem is modified and subjected to attenuate the disturbance residual. The paper addresses the nominal case for constant reference and disturbance signal showing the asymptotical stability and the tracking performance of the discrete time, optimal min-max control. Suboptimal solution is given for time varying reference and disturbance signal. A linearized hovering quadrotor example demonstrates the importance of the suggested technique.
