In this paper, the architecture of a fuzzy processor intended for high-speed control applications is described. Its main advantage is the inference speed that does not depend on the number of used inputs and rules. This is accomplished by the usage of content addressable memory as a rule set storage. The proposed architecture was simulated and the simulation results give the inference speed of about 200 KFLIPS.

A new technique for control system design based on the Optimal Constrained Covariance control (OC 3 ) is presented. A design procedure of control system for dynamic ship positioning is proposed. In the papers published so far the controller gain matrices were detennined using the classical Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) optimal control technique, the pole-placement technique and characteristic locus design method. The main disadvantage of these techniques is their poor correspondence with the real performance requirements of control system. Using the proposed technique this disadvantage is avoided. The results of computer simulation using OC 3 control are presented.

In a board level design with boundary scans, each chip on a board can be tested by loading test vectors and collecting responses through a boundary scan chain. Since the boundary scan may serialize the test process, the overall test time can be reduced if multiple boundary scan chains are used. In that case the test time depends on how the boundary scan chips are connected into multiple chains. In this paper, we present a technique for configuring multiple boundary scan chains to minimize the test time for boundary scan chips on a board.

Passivity based controllers are used in structural control due to their inherent robustness properties. These controllers require sensor/actuator collocation. In this paper, we consider the design of a "squaring down" matrix which renders a system passive by using a linear combination of all collocated and non-collocated sensor/actuator pairs. The design uses experimental transfer functions and does not require the knowledge of the system model. The problem of finding the squaring down matrix is cast as a solution to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) subject to some additional performance considerations. The design procedure of the squaring down matrix assumes that velocity information is available from the sensors which is not generally the case. We show that the squaring down matrix can be implemented without the use of such velocity information. We provide experimental results gathered from the single link flexible beam setup in the C/sub La/MS laboratory at RPI to show that implementation of passive loops without velocity measurements provides very good results.

This paper presents an efficient approach to short term power system resource scheduling based on the augmented Lagrangian relaxation method. The problem is divided into two stages, the commitment stage and the constrained economic dispatch stage. The proposed mathematical model incorporates optimal power flow (OPF) constraints in the unit commitment stage. By OPF constrains, the authors refer to the relevant active power constraints that are incorporated in the constrained economic dispatch stage (i.e. transmission capacity constraints, fuel and various regulated emission requirements). The inclusion of OPF constraints in the commitment stage will improve the feasibility of the constrained economic dispatch solution. Other unit commitment constraints such as spinning and operating reserve requirements, power balance as well as other relevant local constraints (i.e. unit ramping rates, upper and lower generation limits, minimum up and down times) are taken into account in the proposed model. As a larger number of constraints are dealt with, a more rigorous method is introduced for updating Lagrange multipliers to improve the solution convergence. A software package which addresses energy management systems requirements is developed and tested.

Smart materials such as piezoceramics and shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit significant hysteresis and in order to estimate the effect on open and closed loop control a suitable model is needed. One promising candidate is the Preisach independent domain hysteresis model that is characterized by the congruent minor loop and wiping out properties. Comparable minor loop and decaying oscillation test data for a multi-sheet piezoceramic actuator (made of lead zirconate titanate) attached to a flexible beam are presented and are seen to be very consistent with the two Preisach model properties. The commanded parameter is the sheet transverse electric field while the measured parameter is an approximately colocated strain induced in the beam. Equivalent data for a Nitinol SMA wire muscle, attached to the same beam, are also presented. The input and output parameters are the SMA current and a beam strain respectfully. The minor loop and wiping out evidence is less strong than that of the piezoceramic case, but encouraging. In all experiments the quasi-steady state responses were generated in order to avoid exciting beam flexible modes which would complicate the analysis.

This paper deals with simultaneous control of acceleration transmission, wheel load fluctuation, suspension deflection and sprung mass displacement. The control theory is based on the robust H/sub /spl infin// control theory with the consideration of the modeling errors lumped into an unstructured uncertainty acting on the unperturbed plant. The design method is new and powerful for electronic car suspension's control systems, as it presents a new approach to the designers for the computation of a controller maintaining robust stability while guaranteeing the performance in a wide frequency range, even in the case of the controller is applied to the actual plant. Additionally, the paper emphasizes that the assumptions in the modeling step may lead to unrealistic control designs and, as an example, the effect of the rigidity assumption on the behavior of the open loop system is discussed.

This paper describes a software simulator used in the development of control algorithms for the pulp cooking process. The laboratory-type simulator has been built up, based on the same control system hardware and software already installed in an industrial plant. The simulator itself emulates some operator control actions, the behavior of typical pulp cooking process variables and important signals from the process equipment. The simulation can be performed in real time or in two different accelerated modes. In this paper, the background of the simulator is also introduced and a discussion of advantages, based on experience, is attached at the end.

In spite of considerable advances regarding techniques for fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) their transformation into workable applications is still considered as an open research issue. One of the scopes of this paper is to argue the potentials of prototyping engineering design of FDD systems. In that light the concept of the simulation environment is presented which serves to support designer in realization of particular stages of the design cycle. As an illustration, a simulated system for fault detection and diagnosis of a DC motor is presented.
