This work deals with the design and implementation of a novel output feedback position tracking controller for marine vessels subject to uncertainties in their dynamical parameters and periodic external disturbance. Specifically, an adaptive controller that does not make use of velocity measurements has been presented which can compensate for uncertainties in the system's dynamical parameters and periodic external disturbance. A filtered based velocity surrogate formulation in conjunction with a periodic noise estimator and a desired model compensation based adaptive parameter estimator have been utilized to tackle the problem. Boundedness of the closed loop system and convergence of the position tracking error to the origin are proven via Lyapunov-type arguments. Comparative numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

We introduce a simple geometry for slow-wave structures (SWSs) in sheet-beam traveling-wave tubes (TWTs). The staggered microstrip grating SWS is a space harmonic structure with geometry and bandwidth with analogous to the staggered vane SWS commonly used for sheet beam TWTs. The staggered microstrip grating TWT is designed to operate in V-band with a center frequency of 74 GHz and electron beam voltage of 20 kV.

UAV missions often require specific geometric con-straints to be satisfied between ground locations and the vehicle location. Such requirements are typical for contexts where line-of-sight must be maintained between the vehicle location and the ground control location and are also important in surveillance applications where the UAV wishes to be able to sense, e.g., with a camera sensor, a specific region within a complex geometric environment. This problem is further complicated when the ground location is generalized to a convex 2D polygonal region. This article describes the theory and implementation of a system which can quickly calculate the 3D volume that encloses all 3D coordinates from which a 2D convex planar region can be entirely viewed; referred to as a visibility volume. The proposed approach computes visibility volumes using a combination of depth map computation using GPU-acceleration and geometric boolean operations. Solutions to this problem require complex 3D geometric analysis techniques that must execute using arbitrary precision arithmetic on a collection of discontinuous and non-analytic surfaces. Post-processing steps incorporate navigational constraints to further restrict the enclosed coordinates to include both visibility and navigation constraints. Integration of sensing visibility constraints with navigational constraints yields a range of navigable space where a vehicle will satisfy both perceptual sensing and navigational needs of the mission. This algorithm then provides a synergistic perception and navigation sensitive solution yielding a volume of coordinates in 3D that satisfy both the mission path and sensing needs.

The generalization of the use of electronic systems and their integration in industrial systems and different aspects of modern life (internet of things, electric vehicles, robotics, smart grids), give rise to new challenges related to the storage and optimized management of energy. Lithium-on batteries perfectly meet this objective due to their good qualities such as high energy density, small installation size, low self-discharge and high supply capacity. However, their wide application requires further research on battery failure prediction and health management. Intelligent “battery management systems” (BMSs) employ the real-time estimation and control algorithms to improve the battery safety while enhancing its performance. Nevertheless, BMS are complex and require increased processing power which could lead to more power consumption. In this context, the present article provides a new approach for efficient prediction of the “Lithiumion” (Li-ion) battery cells capacities by analysing and exploiting the battery parameters, acquired by an event-driven module. It acquires the intended cells voltages, currents and temperature values during the charge-discharge cycles. The solution is based on the machine learning algorithms and event-based segmentation. The “National Aeronautics and Space Administration” (NASA) has provided a high-power Li-Ion cells dataset for the purpose of research and innovation. This dataset is used to test and evaluate the suggested approach. The evaluation of the overall performance of the chain has shown encouraging results of the proposed approach.

Advanced smart grid applications such as wide-area monitoring, protection, and control (WAMPAC), considerably depend on the synchrophasor measurements gathered from different locations of the power grid. These timestamped measurements are provided by Phasor measurement units (PMUs) and phasor data concentrators (PDCs). These devices are optimally deployed at selected nodes in the grid. PMUs and substation PDCs are routable protocol-based network devices and comply with the IEEE C37.118 standard. Since the PMUs generally communicate through a public wide area network, they are vulnerable to cyberattacks. As a result, these vulnerabilities lead to compromised data integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the smart grid. To cover the cybersecurity vulnerabilities in synchrophasor communication and achieve compatibility between the data transfer based on IEEE C37.118.2 with IEC 61850 standard, IEC 61850-90-5 was released. This part of the standard includes security measures to achieve authentication, integrity, and confidentiality if required. In this work, we implemented publisher and subscriber libraries capable of routing secure GOOSE messages while respecting the time delay specifications set by the IEC61850 standard. The performance of encryption and authentication algorithms was assessed and experimentally verified. In addition, the proposed framework's robustness against cyber-attacks was evaluated.
