A simple method for improving the input power factor of a single-phase online UPS (uninterruptible power supply) by making the DC-bus capacitance as small as possible is proposed. A feedforward modulation scheme is provided for solving the rapid DC-bus voltage fluctuation problem due to insufficient filtering. A discrete-time model of the UPS with the proposed scheme and a design technique for the compensators are also developed. Finally, a laboratory prototype 1kVA single-phase online UPS is set up to experimentally verify the predicted and analyzed results. The proposed UPS features a high input power factor, fast transient response, high efficiency, light weight, and small size.< >

A simple approach is presented for simultaneous on-line identification of the time delay and the system parameters of continuous-time systems based on discrete-time measurements. The linear integral filter is used both to construct the derivatives of input-output signals and to avoid estimating the unknown initial conditions. The time delay and the system parameters are directly estimated by an on-line algorithm which is derived using Newton’s method. Severed identification methods such as the bias-compensating method and the instrumental variable methods are applied for eliminating the asymptotic bias of the parameter estimates in noisy situations. The present algorithm is applicable to the case when the time delay is not an integral multiple of the sampling interval, and can also be used for model reduction.

A visual servoing method is proposed for eye-in-hand robots. It employs a self-organizing fuzzy controller. There is defined a Jacobian that is not a function of a relative position of the object but is a function of the image features. Instead of obtaining an analytic form of the proposed Jacobian, a self-organizing fuzzy controller is then proposed to alleviate difficulties in real-time implementation. To show its validity, the proposed method is applied to a 2D visual servoing task.< >

A technique is developed based on free link concept to construct the available free space between obstacles within robot's environment in terms of free convex area. Then, a new kind of vertex graph called MAKLINK is constructed to support the generation of a collision free path. This graph is constructed using the midpoints of common free links between free convex area as passing points. These points correspond to nodes in a graph and the connection between them within each convex area as arcs in this graph. A collision free path can be efficiently generated using the MAKLINK graph. The complexity of the search for a collision free path is greatly reduced by minimizing the size of the graph to be searched concerning the number of nodes and the number of arcs connecting them. The analysis of the proposed algorithm shows its efficiency in terms of computation ability, safety, optimality, and in supporting robot navigation along the generated path.< >

A turning gait is proposed for a quadruped walking robot. The proposed scheme makes it possible to control the translation and orientation of the walking robot simultaneously. First, feasible leg sequences which guarantee positive longitudinal gait stability margin for each direction of movement are found. A method for finding the lifting time of each leg of a feasible leg sequence and selecting an optimal gait among feasible gaits is then suggested. The proposed gait can be applied to control the posture of walking robots and to generate an optimal gait for a desired movement of translation and rotation of the walking robot systematically.< >

The authors present a self-organizing artificial neural network (ANN) that exhibits deterministically reliable behavior to noise interference when the noise does not exceed a specified level of tolerance. The complexity of the proposed ANN, called DIGNET, in terms of neuron requirements versus stored patterns, increases linearly with the number of stored patterns and their dimensionality. The self-organization of DIGNET is based on the idea of competitive generation and elimination of attraction wells in the pattern space. The same neural network can be used for both pattern recognition and classification.< >

Practical CAD techniques for a structural approach to multivariable control are described. These are based on earlier graph theoretic analysis, as largely developed by one of the authors. Their application to two major control design problems; an IFAC benchmark problem in disturbance rejection and another of non-interactive control, are successfully demonstrated. The software tools are fully compatible with the standard MATLAB environment, and are briefly described. It is claimed that, with adequate software tools, a structural approach to complex problems can be effective in design, and it is proposed to further extend this more tangible approach to a wider variety of problem such as pole assignment, decentralized control and non-linear systems

Complex processing algorithms associated with requirements for real-time target detection, acquisition and recognition have far outdistanced our ability to package the necessary processing power into real-time weapon-sized hardware. Weapon developers need new, radically different, approaches to solve these difficult weapon signal processing problems. Artificial neural networks (ANN) is one of the new, radically different, signal processing approaches that is currently receiving much attention for weapon applications. The human brain is a powerful image and pattern recognition processor whose basic processing element is the neuron. Synapses are the weighted interconnections between neurons that permit learning and communication between the neurons. Artificial neural network technology attempts to mathematically and/or electrically model neurons and synapses and then interconnect these models in architectures suitable for signal processing tasks. ANN technology is particularly applicable to pattern recognition, speech recognition, machine vision, robotics, and optimization signal processing tasks. Specific military applications include missile seekers, missile fuzing, sonar target discrimination, automatic target recognition, and autopilots. Two unique characteristics of ANN processors are that they are non-linear processors and that they are trained, not programmed, to accomplish processing tasks in a manner analogous to the way the human brain learns. Learning is achieved by modifying the synaptic weights of each artificial neuron until the final desired system processing response is achieved. Several years ago the Naval Weapons Center (NavWpnCen) identified ANN technology as a high risk-high payoff approach to missile signal processing requirements and initiated several research and development efforts in this area. One result of this work is the new 80170NW ANN analog VLSI chip produced by Intel Inc. Another is the current Missileborne Integrated Neural Network De
