Current home alarm systems are quite complicated in that they require the installer to spend large amounts of time for installation or have prior professional installation experience. In addition, programming the system is a non-trivial task and usually requires prior alarm system programming knowledge. This paper explains the design of an ethernet based residential security system that is controlled by a micro-controller and has LabVIEW for user interface. The system is easy to configure and install. The security system offers the same general features of currently available home alarm systems but with potential expandability.

The introduction of web-based real electronics laboratories by Oregon Institute of technology (OIT) is discussed. Two sophomore-level laboratories experiments are available to OIT electronics majors to be run remotely over the the web, namely an operational amplifier (op-amp) lab, and a MOSFET lab. The MOSFET lab is an introductory experiment where the student is expected to measure the common-source ouput characteristics as a function of the input voltage. As the web delivery of laboratory courses will extend to other courses in the program, such as the digital courses, OIT is expected to develop more experiment boards and acquire more hardware systems.

A computer-controlled automated data acquisition system is designed to measure the conductivity of the liquid (saline water) or the solid sample (rock saturated with saline water) in the frequency range 10 kHz to 2 MHz. The set-up is based on LCR (Inductor, Capacitor, and Resistor) multimeter and four-terminal sample holder system that was developed to reduce the contact resistance, to minimize any stray capacitance, and residual inductance associated with the test leads or the test fixture at high frequencies. However, the instrumentation calibration scheme cannot completely eliminate the aforementioned errors. In order to accomplish this, a calibration model is designed to compensate for the inherent error of the system. In this study, the conductivity of some samples was measured. The measured data was compared with conductivity provided by Society of Core Analysis Guideline (SCA-GL). The agreement between available data and experimental data is excellent.

This paper presents a nonlinear H ∞ state feedback attitude control design method for spacecraft large angle maneuvers, which is subject to moment-of-inertia (MOI) uncertainty. Moreover, the operation of attitude maneuver is affected by external disturbances. The attitude control design thus employs a nonlinear H ∞ method to achieve stability and robustness so that both MOI uncertainty and external disturbances can be accounted for. In the paper, a solution for robust spacecraft attitude control is conjectured and shown to satisfy the nonlinear H ∞ criterion. This results in a nonlinear H ∞ control law that is capable of robustly stabilizing the maneuver in the presence of external disturbance and spacecraft inertia uncertainty. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

This paper explores feedback controller design for cavity flows based on reduced-order models derived using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) along with Galerkin projection method. Our preliminary analysis shows that the equilibrium of the POD model is unstable and a static output feedback controller cannot stabilize it. We develop Linear Quadratic (LQ) optimal state feedback controllers and LQ optimal observers for the linearized models. The linear controllers and observers are applied to the nonlinear system using simulations. The controller robustness is numerically tested with respect to different POD models generated at different forcing frequencies. An estimation for the region of attraction of the linear controllers is also provided.
The enormous capacity potential of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is based on some unrealistic assumptions, such as the complete channel state information (CCSI) at the receiver and Gaussian distributed data. I...

In this paper, we consider a ranging procedure occurred in the fixed and mobile broadband wireless access systems based on the Wireless MAN-OFDMA (Metropolitan Area Network -Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). A ranging procedure is a collection of processes for a Mobile Subscriber Station (MSS) and a Base Station (BS) to maintain the quality of the radio frequency communication link between them. When multiple subscribers select the same ranging codes from the given ranging code pool and range the BS by transmitting those identical ranging codes at the same time frame, the ranging collision may be occurred at BS because the BS can not differentiate two different MSSs since they selected the same ranging code. We propose a mathematical performance model to analyze the probability of ranging collision affected by both the capacity of the ranging code pool and the rate of the MSS arriving to the system and investigate the numerical results of the proposed model. By the proposed model and its numerical results, we can calculate the minimum number of the required ranging codes to be implemented in BS(Base Station). We compare the analytical results with the simulated results to validate the proposed mathematical model is correct.

In underwater acoustics, the sound pressure field in a horizontally stratified, range‐independent medium due to a continuous‐wave point source can be described by a Hankel transform of the depth‐dependent Green's function. Although the total field consists of both outgoing and incoming components, a reasonable assumption is that the incoming components can be neglected. This assumption is the basis for a number of synthetic field generation techniques such as the Fast Field program (FFP) [F. R. DiNapoli and R. L. Deavenport, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 67, 92–105 (1980)]. It is shown that the condition that the field consists only of outgoing components implies a relationship between the real and imaginary parts of the field. An implication is that the real (imaginary) part of the pressure field can be reconstructed from the imaginary (real) part. An algorithm for performing this reconstruction is presented and examples of its application to synthetic and experimental acoustic fields is discussed.
