The increasing use of operator training simulators means that there is a need for models of industrial plants which are at the same time detailed but also simple enough to provide a credible (but not necessarily precise) simulation for both small and large changes of operating point. These conflicting requirements are often complicated by the desire to carry out operator training using the control and monitoring system with which the respective device or process is equipped. This paper shows how in the modelling of a thermal power unit a non-linear model based on „first principle” analysis is used for building up operator training simulators. This process instrumentation model, which can be called a reality-oriented model, was developed as a purpose-built user block library in the MATLAB-SIMULINK standard simulation package. This process instrumentation model represents the water feeding subsystem of a steam boiler with 250 t/h power capacity of a 55 MW power unit, as a part of the operator training simulator developed for Opatovice Power Plants in the Czech Republic.

A kinematic modeling method is proposed which uses augmenting variables to match the dimensions of the input vector and output vector of each serial subchain of the mobile robots. Firstly, kinematic models of various type of wheels are derived including skidding and sliding velocities. Then the method of augmented generalized coordinates is applied to obtain inverse and forward kinematic models. The kinematic models derived by the direct inverse of the augmented matrices provide an accurate solution, which was not achievable by the modeling method based on the pseudo-inverse method which provides an approximate solution. Lastly, two kinematic models for typical, differential-driven mobile robots are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed modeling method.

An electromagnetic-type vibratory feeder of is a typical transportation device used in automatic weighers. As existing feeders are driven by feedforward control, the so-called "firing angle control", the driver cannot negate sudden disturbances. In this study, we consider applying a feedback control for such a feeder system. First, we give the two details of modelings for the vibration part and for the electromagnetic force part. Next, a feedback controlsystem is constructed for the electromagnetic vibration feeder for which we propose a two-degrees-of-freedom proportional plus integral plus derivative (PID) controller with nonlinear elements. Next, we apply the feedback control to the feeder with a standard trough. Finally, we consider a method compatible with many varieties of troughs by adjusting a nonlinear element. On the basis of the results of some experiments, we confirm that the two-degrees-of-freedom PID control is more effective than the conventional firing angle control.

The problem of sufficient conditions that enable system trajectories to stay within the a priori given sets for a particular class of autonomous delayed system. The main features of finite-time stability have been extended to particular class of linear autonomous delayed systems. The results give sufficient conditions for the stability of the system under consideration, and are derived using a technique which differs significantly from approaches used in all references cited.

The paper extended some basic results from the area of finite time and practical stability to linear, continuous, time invariant nonautonomous time-delay systems. Sufficient conditions of this kind of stability, for particular class of time-delay systems were derived. Delay dependent criteria expressed by simple inequalities, have been derived yielding sufficient conditions of non-Lyapunov stability of the system considered.

The suspension system is classified as a passive, semi-active, and active suspension, according to its ability to add or extract energy. An automotive active suspension control has been one of the favourite subjects in the automotive research area. The advantages of an automotive active suspension system have been promised for many years. The objectives of the control scheme are to improve the ride quality and handling performance within a given suspension stroke limitation. The ride quality is measured by the vertical acceleration of the vehicle body called the sprung mass. The handling performance is determined by the tyre deflection, which is the difference of position between the wheel and the road surface input. The paper analyses the aspects of passive and active suspensions and focuses on the ride quality improvement. The LQR control scheme is selected to control an actuator in an active suspension. The result shows that the ride quality can be improved using an active suspension.

The paper describes an original analytic-experimental approach to simple digital and analog PI and PID controllers tuning for monotone self-regulating plants with a time delay. Values of adjustable controller parameters ensuring a marginal monotone control process are determined analytically, and the gain of the controller is tuned experimentally so that an overshoot of a step response of controlsystem corresponds to the concept of the designer. The approach is taken from the dynamics inversion method and its use is shown in the examples.

The paper describes a conventional digital and analog controllers tuning for controlled plants with a time delay on the basis of the general dynamics inversion method. The proposed approach is new and very simple. It enables a controller tuning so that a relative overshoot for common controlled plants with a time delay will be in the range from 0 to 50 % for the step change of a desired variable or a disturbance variable acting on an output of the controlled plant.

This paper discusses speech recognition based on a new statistical phoneme segment model which is trained by phoneme parameters derived from automatically extracted phoneme segments. The proposed system operates as follows. In preprocessing before recognition, the phoneme boundaries are detected by segmentation. The phonemes are discriminated using a stochastic phoneme segment model, and a phoneme segment lattice with scores is constructed. Next the speech recognition is performed by matching of symbol sequences to dictionary items. The segmentation system that is employed can infer phoneme boundaries with high accuracy. This helps to eliminate unnecessary parameters, leaving the feature parameters which are effective in separating phonemes. In other words, the phoneme recognition problem in continuous speech can be reduced to a discrimination problem and thus a speaker-independent model can be constructed from a relatively small number of training data. The stochastic phoneme segment model is trained with training samples extracted from a phoneme-balanced word set of 4920 words uttered by 10 speakers. In a recognition experiment with 6709 words uttered by 63 nontraining speakers, a recognition rate of 92.6% was obtained as the average for all speakers, using a word dictionary of 212 words.

A new parallel gripping mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform which can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be used to grasp an object having irregular shape or large volume, but also can be utilized as micro-positioning device after grasping the object. Forward position analysis and platform kinematics are investigated to deal with motion tracking and force control. Pneumatic rotator is employed for actuation and a compact sized, 4/3 way proportional pressure valve is also developed to deal with feedback-based dynamic control. The pressure valve also allows indirect force control by measuring the offset pressure occurring due to contact between the grasped object and the parallel platform. In experimental work, performances of the motion tracking and indirect force control are shown satisfactory.
