This paper focuses on the problem of minimum time trajectory planning for helicopter UAVs. It is formulated as a nonlinear optimal control subject to the dynamics and limitations of helicopter UAVs. The dynamical system is defined by a set of fifteen states nonlinear differential equations developed for HeLion, a UAV helicopter constructed in National University of Singapore (NUS). The problem is then solved numerically using pseudospectral method for dynamic optimization. The results show that minimum time trajectories are highly nonlinear that require complicated maneuvering.

In this paper, we review various LTPS backplane technologies based on laser-crystallization and other related methods that have been applied to AMLCD and AMOLED displays. The TFT performances obtained by different melt-mediated crystallization methods with excimer laser and solid phase crystallization will be compared. The technical issues of the image quality and the resolution will be discussed.

This paper studies the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) and carrier-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (CINR) performance at the mobile station (MS) within a multi-tier network composed of M tiers of wireless networks, with each tier modeled as the homogeneous n-dimensional (n-D, n=1,2, and 3) shotgun cellular system, where the base station (BS) distribution is given by the homogeneous Poisson point process in n-D. The CIR and CINR at the MS in a single tier network are thoroughly analyzed to simplify the analysis of the multi-tier network. For the multi-tier network with given system parameters, the following are the main results of this paper: (1) semi-analytical expressions for the tail probabilities of CIR and CINR; (2) a closed form expression for the tail probability of CIR in the range [1,infinity); (3) a closed form expression for the tail probability of an approximation to CINR in the entire range [0,infinity); (4) a lookup table based approach for obtaining the tail probability of CINR, and (5) the study of the effect of shadow fading and BSs with ideal sectorized antennas on the CIR and CINR. Based on these results, it is shown that, in a practical cellular system, the installation of additional wireless networks (microcells, picocells and femtocells) with low power BSs over the already existing macrocell network will always improve the CINR performance at the MS.

A common failure mechanism in metallic thin-film interconnects is void propagation driven by electric fields and thermomechanical stresses. In this paper, a multiscale computational analysis is presented for predictive modeling of transgranular void dynamics. The modeling approach is hierarchical and involves atomistic simulations for property database development, molecular-dynamics simulations for understanding of void-tip mechanisms, and self-consistent mesoscopic simulations based on boundary-element methods and techniques for moving boundary propagation. An extremely rich void dynamical behavior is predicted, which includes faceting, facet selection, propagation of slits from the void surface, as well as formation of fine-scale crack-like features on the void surface, in agreement with recent experimental data.

A model of phase-separation kinetics in systems exposed to energetic particle irradiation has been extended to include the effects of mobile dislocations. It is shown that when dislocations are allowed to participate in the decomposition reaction, phase separation can occur at temperatures above the coherent spinodal, which is in agreement with several experiments on irradiated alloys. A linear stability analysis of the governing kinetic equations is performed and three regimes of microstructural evolution are identified within the parameter space of damage cascade size vs incident flux: complete phase separation, solid-solution behavior, and compositional patterning. In addition, numerical simulations of the evolving dislocation density and composition fields are performed. The numerical results provide the amplitude and wavelength of the stable patterns that can form under irradiation and elucidate the role of misfit dislocations in reducing the coherency strain due to atomic size mismatch.
A novel model reduction strategy for forced dissipative infinite-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems is described. Unlike popular but empirical methods, this new approach does not require extensive data sets from ...

Social navigation provides drivers with an advice that aims to shift traffic flows in a network from a user equilibrium to a system optimum. The advice is based on minimizing a combination of the individual travel time and the marginal total travel time in the network. The level of altruism defines the extent to which a driver is willing to sacrifice his own travel time in favor of other drivers. Fuel consumption and CO2 emission are taking into account by converting them into time equivalent. Experimental results for a small network loosely representing the Bay area show that social navigation can reduce time delays by 10%. The reduction is positively correlated with network load, market penetration and level of altruism.
