In plastic injection molding, the ram position plays an important role in production quality. This paper introduces a new method, which is a combination of the current cycle feedback control (a PI controller) and a feed-forward higher-order iterative learning control (ILC), to control the ram position in injection molding. The PI controller is used to stabilize the system, and the feed-forward higher-order ILC control is used to compensate for nonlinear/unknown dynamics and disturbances, thereby gaining the precision tracking to ram position. The simulation results indicate that the new method outperforms the conventional PI controller. In addition, it outperforms the conventional ILC in the convergence performance.

This paper introduces a real-time video surveillance system which can track people and detect human abnormal behaviors. In the blob detection part, an optical flow algorithm for crowd environment is studied experimentally and a comparison study with respect to traditional subtraction approach is carried out. The different approaches in segmentation and tracking enable the system to track persons when they change movement unpredictably in occlusion. We developed two methods for the human abnormal behavior analysis. The first one employs Principal Component Analysis for feature selection and Support Vector Machine for classification of human behaviors. The proposed feature selection method is based on the border information of four consecutive blobs. The second approach computes optical flow to obtain the velocity of each pixel for determining whether a human behavior is normal or not. Both algorithms are successfully developed in crowded environments to detect the following human abnormal behaviors: (1) Running people in a crowded environment; (2) falling down movement while most are walking or standing; (3) a person carrying an abnormal bar in a square; (4) a person waving hand in the crowd. Experimental results demonstrate these two methods are robust in detecting human abnormal behaviors.

It has been found that the composites of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and epoxy resin could greatly enhance damping ability while the stiffness is kept at a very high level. In this research, carbon nanotube enhanced epoxy resin is fabricated. The dynamic properties of the nanotube composites are experimentally studied. A testing apparatus for obtaining material properties is set up and measurement procedures are given. Multiple groups of specimens are made for investigations. In particular, the material loss factors together with dynamic stiffness are measured for the specimens with different CNT weight ratio. Experimental results show that CNT additive can provide the composite with significant damping without easily undergoing large strain as compared to traditional damping materials, and the dynamic stiffness of the nanotube composite could be even higher than the pure epoxy. It is promising that the nanotube composites could be used in the structural vibration applications when both damping and stiffness are important.

Recently adaptive neural network controllers for a class of high uncertain nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form have been developed using the backstepping technique. The resulting closed-loop system is shown to be ultimately uniformly stable with bounded tracking error. In this paper, we will present a modified design technique, which guarantees the convergence of the tracking error to zero.
