An effective method for visual pattern recognition using morphological techniques is presented. It is shown that it can be successfully used for the recognition of deformed letters. The method extracts morphological information by the successive dilation of an idealized letter set. At each stage a properly defined similarity index is computed. The maximum values of the similarity index for each stored letter are compared and are used for the classification decision. Classification results are presented for a set of deformed capital English letters with a realistic level of deformation. Skeletonization of the deformed pattern is shown to improve the performance of the classification method. The described method can be easily implemented using a parallel architecture.< >

This paper proposes a methodology of combining eigenstructure assignment, feedforward gain with sliding mode control technique to realize an enhanced robust pitch pointing flight control system. This control system can track step input commands without error and it turns out to be consistently robust against parameter variations and external disturbances. The design methodology is illustrated by application to an AFTI/F-16 aircraft.

Modern CAD environments for control systems engineering have begun to support substantial functionality beyond modeling, numerical analysis, and simulation. Three major areas that have emerged in the last five years are advanced user interfaces, data-base management, and expert-systems support ("expert aiding"), In addition, there has been a steady thrust to integrate more completely the various functionalities and software that comprise computer-aided controlengineering (CACE). These trends have produced CACE environments which have relatively modest improvements in numerical quality but a vastly different "feel" in terms of integration, support, and "user friendliness. The basic considerations and requirements for a CACE user interface (UI), data-base manager (DBM), and expert aicling are discussed in detail. In many cases, these will be illustrated by examples based on various CACE software suites including the new GE MEAD CACE environment; the basic thrust will be to define needs and show how these can be met. The GE MEAD Project involves the integration of powerful CACE packages under a supervisor which coordinates the execution of these packages with a modern UI, a CACE-oriented DBM, and an expert system. The user interface is designed to facilitate access to the CACE package capabilities by users with widely different levels of familiarity with the environment. The data-base manager keeps track of system models that evolve over time and associates each analysis or design result with the correct model instance. The expert system supplies the machinery for expert aiding complicated or heuristic procedures to free the user from low-level detail and tedium. This system thus exemplifies the trends mentioned above

The traction network is a strong current, unbalanced. nonlinear, multi-conductor, time-varying distributed parameter system. The rails are under such a sophisticated electromagnetic field. The model of the rails current cannot be created very well only by conventional transmission line theory. Based on the Maxwell equation, the authors regard the model from the view of both field and circuit and then put forward the mathematical mode! The earth effect is considered. The model can be applied to not only homogeneous earth but also multi-layer earth. In addition, many factors are taken into consideration. For instance, the resistive, inductive and capacitive coupling, the earth potential and the frequency response of the traction system. Such parameters as the earth conductivity and the ballast resistance were tested on the railway side. Finally, the authors solved the model in digital computer and analyses the error. The test equipments of the strong current were developed successfully by our research group at the department of Comm. and control in Northern Jiaotong University. We used the test equipments to have made an experiment on the railway spot. The results of the theoretical analysis turn out to be sound.

Maximum-likelihood soft-decision decoding of linear block codes is addressed. A binary multiple-check generalization of the Wagner rule is presented, and two methods for its implementation, one of which resembles the suboptimal Forney-Chase algorithms, are described. Besides efficient soft decoding of small codes, the generalized rule enables utilization of subspaces of a wide variety, thereby yielding maximum-likelihood decoders with substantially reduced computational complexity for some larger binary codes. More sophisticated choice and exploitation of the structure of both a subspace and the coset representatives are demonstrated for the (24, 12) Golay code, yielding a computational gain factor of about 2 with respect to previous methods. A ternary single-check version of the Wagner rule is applied for efficient soft decoding of the (12, 6) ternary Golay code.< >
