new method for calculating the resonant frequency of an equilateral triangular microstrip patch antenna, based on artificial neural networks, is presented The back-propagation algorithm is used to train the networks. The theoretical resonant frequency results obtained by using this method are in very good agreement with the experimental results reported elsewhere. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A simple, but effective, method of calibrating a multimanipulator robotic system is introduced. The algorithm uses precisely machined calibration plates which are inexpensive to manufacture and require no measuring instrumentation. The method is tested on a dual-arm system which resulted in an order of magnitude reduction in the pose error. Coordinated dual-arm manipulation experiments are conducted using the calibrated kinematic model to validate the usefulness of the calibration process

This paper describes the approach to information sharing being adopted by Synapses, a pan-European project funded under the EU Health Telematics Programme. The emphasis in Synapses is on developing standards to enable sharing, in whole or in part, of electronic healthcare records between distributed healthcare providers and institutions. The current technological solutions available for data sharing, including federated database systems, gateways, data warehousing, messaging and the web are insufficient on their own to meet the needs of Synapses. Thus in Synapses several different, bur complementary technologies are merged in an open, distributed object-oriented environment. Furthermore, in order to safeguard the legal, ethical and clinical integrity of the record, it is essential not only to preserve the meaning of the data being transferred, but also its context and structure. Synapses solves this problem by defining a standard architecture for the federated electronic healthcare record.

A controller which solves the controller "reset windup problem" for the multivariable servomechanism problem with unmeasurable constant disturbances, using a switching adaptive controller, is proposed: an advantage of the controller is that no mathematical model of the plant is required in order to implement it. Real time experimental results of this controller when applied to a multivariable system are given.

The Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation, with random forcing at the narrow band wave-number region, which is set to be slightly larger than the characteristic wave number λ, evaluating the inverse ion Larmor radius in plasma, is numerically studied. It is shown that the Fourier spectrum of the potential vorticity fluctuation in the development of turbulence with an initial condition of quiescent state obeys a dynamic scaling law for k≪λ. The dimensional analysis with the assumption that the energy transfer rate ε in the inverse cascade is constant with time leads to the scaling form S(k,t) =λ1/2ε5/4t7/4F(k/k-bar(t))[k-bar(t)∼λ3/4ε−1/8t−3/8] with a scaling function F(x), which turns out to be in good agreement with numerical experiments.

Real-time, in situ control of reactive ion etching is shown to reduce loading disturbance in an Applied 8300 reactive ion etch system. The etch process vehicle is CF4 etching of polysilicon. A real-time, multivariable feedback control strategy where key plasma parameters are fed back has been developed. This strategy is experimentally compared with standard industry practice and is shown to reduce the loading effect by 80%. This quantification of improvement is carried out in terms of a model from the literature which is reviewed and experimentally validated for the etch equipment and process used.

In this paper, a surface recovery method using multiresolution wavelet transform is proposed. For representing 3-D surface shapes, 4th order B-spline functions are introduced as scaling functions of spline wavelets. A regularization problem is solved in order to estimate the surface function. The estimated surface function can be decomposed into an approximate surface function at specific lower resolution and the corresponding wavelet components by using the multiresolution wavelet transform. Consequently, by reducing the noise components which the wavelet components include, the surface recovery method can give a further accurate estimation of the surface function. Through several experiments, both the robustness to noises and the edge-preserving property in recovering the surface have been attained.

This paper presents a model-based approach to fault detection of dynamic systems, which is robust to unmodeled dynamics. A “Quasi-ARMAX model᾿ is first proposed for describing nonlinear systems by incorporating a group of certain nonlinear structures into a linear ARMAX structure. The model can be used for a best linear approximation of the system, as well as for the estimation of resulting unmodeled dynamics, by a hierarchical implementation of recursive identification. Then robust fault detection is performed based on thresholding approach using Kullback discrimination information as fault detection index, in which the estimated unmodeled dynamics is incorporated.

This paper describes a binary image representation scheme, which is called image block representation and presents a new skeletonization algorithm, which is implemented on block represented binary images. The main purpose of the image block representation is to provide an efficient binary image representation that permits the execution of operations on image areas instead of image points. The skeletonization algorithm operates in four subiterations: each subiteration deletes the north, the south, the west and the east boundary points, respectively. Due to the substitution of the boundary points by the block's boundary points the relevant operations are performed fast, while preserving the end points and the object connectivity.
