This paper describes a system developed to assist in model-based training of minimally invasive, laparoscopic procedures. The key factor motivating the development of the device called CAST (computer-Assisted Surgical Trainer) is the need to improve the state-of-the-art in teaching laparoscopy, and ultimately achieve better surgical outcomes. CAST's design concept and architecture is presented with its major elements that facilitate guided (both haptic and visual) execution of tasks, performance assessment, and comparative analysis of results. Both software and hardware models and implementations are given. The system, while currently intended for off-line, laboratory use, has an excellent potential for real-time assistive functions in the operating room.

Protective relaying is extremely important for reliable operation of power systems with minimal interruption. It saves equipment by limiting current, voltage and power variations due to faults. One essential component of protective relaying is symmetrical component analysis. This monitors the positive and negative sequence components of voltages and currents. These components are also important for condition monitoring of rotating electrical machines. It is shown in this paper that these components can easily be obtained from the double sided spectrum analysis of the complex valued signals. Apart from the standard fast Fourier transform (FFT), advanced techniques such as Park's vector analysis and residual estimation can also be used in the detection of faults. Thus an on-line, realtime instrument that displays these quantities would be very useful. In this paper, the development of such an instrument is presented. It can monitor sequence quantities and locate various characteristic fault frequencies and signature patterns in single and three phase machines. It also has a user friendly interface that is based on MATLAB 1 . The instrument was successfully tested on three-phase synchronous and induction machines. The performance is demonstrated by detecting eccentricity faults in salient pole synchronous machines. As commercially available spectrum analyzers cannot yet provide this level of functionality, this is a very useful instrument for practicing power engineers.

Due to the energy crisis of the next fifty years, an increasing number of large-scale wind farms are integrating into power systems. Parallel simulation platforms are indispensable to evaluate the effects of wind farm integration. A GPU-based parallel simulation platform is constructed in this paper to test the feasibility of simulating integration systems on GPU. By adopting previous research work such as averaged model and improved EMTP algorithm, models and algorithm of the platform are firstly introduced. Then the hardware and software architecture of the platform are put forward, which combine CPU configuration and GPU computing. Finally, a wind farm with different numbers of DFIGs are used to test the performance of the platform. Results show that the platform has excellent accuracy, efficiency and scalability. The work of this paper proves the feasibility to simulate wind farm integrating dynamics adopting GPU and its potential to reach tremendous efficiency and scalability.

Considering the under-actuated characteristic of the carangiform robotic fish whose forward movement and turning are carried out by its single caudal fin, this paper investigates its shortest path planning problem subjected to the terminal constrains. First, a simplified kinematics model is proposed in view of its locomotion characteristic. With this model, the shortest path planning is transformed into the shortest time optimal control problem and the maximum principle is employed to obtain the necessary condition. Furthermore, based on the analysis on the relationship between the length of all feasible paths and the terminal condition, the sufficient and necessary conditions are derived for the shortest path under any terminal constrains. Finally, a program developed with Matlab verifies the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Decision modeling is an essential part of the combat system effectiveness simulation (CoSES), which needs to cope with the cognitive quality, diversity, flexibility, and higher abstraction of decision making. In this paper, a multi-paradigm decision modeling framework is proposed to support decision modeling at three levels of abstraction based on domain-specific modeling (DSM). This framework designs a domain-specific modeling language (DSML) for decision modeling to raise the abstraction level of modeling, transforms the domain-specific models to formalism-based models to enable formal analysis and early verification and validation, and implements the semantics of the DSML based on a Python scripts framework which incorporates the decision model into the whole simulation system. The case study shows that the proposed approach incorporates domain expertise and facilitates domain modeler's participation in CoSES to formulate the problem using DSML in the problem domain, and enables formal analysis and automatic implementation of the decision model in the solution domain.

Stretch flanging is an important sheet metal forming process which is applied in automotive industry. In this paper, finite element simulation of stretch flanging process of AA 5052 has been carried out. It is found that both punch-die clearance and initial flange length has great effect on strain distribution and edge cracking along die profile radius. A good agreement has been obtained between results of simulation and experimental results, in terms of edge crack, punch load and punch stroke. From this investigation, finite element simulation is found to be quite useful in predicting deformation behavior of stretch flange quite efficiently.
