When the air-gap flux is saturated, the conventional adaptive speed estimator cannot remove the influence of the nonlinear inductance variation. Without speed sensors, it is difficult to identify inductance variation ...

Access to restricted spaces underwater requires a small unencumbered camera. A low cost solution has been envisaged. It consists of an hermetic capsule enclosing the camera and lights, joined to the host by an umbilical. Along the umbilical go six water carrying ducts. Three of them end at backwards pointing nozzles located at the capsule body. The jets of water flowing from the nozzles are controlled and their forces allow some restricted positioning of the camera. Another three ducts end at nozzles located some distance up the umbilical, and allow greater maneuverability.

In this paper, three neural network based d-step-ahead prediction strategies, i.e. a recursive d-step-ahead neural predictor, a non-recursive d-step-ahead neural predictor, and a Smith type neural predictor are presented for time-delay compensation for nonlinear systems. Both the recursive and the non-recursive predictors have been extended to the case of long-range prediction. Finally, the proposed neural network based predictors are applied to the prediction of the manifold pressure process in an automotive engine. The predictive result of the corresponding first principles model based nonlinear predictor is also illustrated for comparison. The experimental results show that the neural network based predictive methods have obtained better performance.

control of a gas-turbine engine requires management of continuous and discrete (state-event) behaviour. A design environment- the Development Framework, is used to define both the continuous and discrete aspects of a turbine engine controller. The approach uses purpose-built software translation tools to capture the system's specification from commercial simulation tools. A unified design model based on a data flow notation, comprising both continuous and state-event behaviour is automatically generated. Specification and design models of selected gas-turbine engine controller subsystems are presented. The complexity of the application suggests that the approach can be used for industrial scale projects.

Embedded systems are computer-based systems which must respond to external stimuli within time scales determined by the external environment. Such systems are required to achieve ever more demanding behavioural. performance and safety requirements. Embedded systems are found in applications such as primary flight control, gas-turbine engine control and railway traffic management Often complex embedded systems are distributed, typically to achieve demanding performance or dependability requirements, and must operate within hard real-time constraints. Considerable effort is required to select optimal design solutions and ensure adherence to specified requirements. In embedded systems safety, reliability and response-times are considered as strict constraints on the system design. Achievement of these constraints requires meticulous analysis, typically through the use of specialist modelling and simulation techniques. Integration of knowledge and understanding obtained from disparate detailed models remains a considerable challenge. Ideally, a system which has both continuous dynamics and event-driven parts. would be modelled in one environment, using the most appropriate techniques for each part, and allowing the analysis of the whole system to be carried out simultaneously. The paper presents an integrated approach in order to translate automatically the information manipulated during the different phases of the design: specification. analysis, design and implementation.

Builds on the previous work by the authors (1998) by defining local versions of cross-positivity for vector fields, especially as related to shifted cones. The paper also furthers the development of a stability theory by introducing preliminary concepts of directed stability. The motivation is to apply this theory to analyzing the control of certain directionally constrained models, such as those found in materials processing.

When an unknown object with Lambertian reflectance is viewed orthographically, there is an implicit ambiguity in determining its 3-d structure: we show that the object's visible surface f(x, y) is indistinguishable from a `generalized bas-relief' transformation of the object's geometry, f¯(x, y) = λf(x, y)+μx+vy, and a corresponding transformation on the object's albedo. For each image of the object illuminated by an arbitrary number of distant light sources, there exists an identical image of the transformed object illuminated by similarly transformed light sources. This result holds both for the illuminated regions of the object as well as those in cast and attached shadows. Furthermore, neither small motion of the object, nor of the viewer will resolve the ambiguity in determining the flattening (or scaling) λ of the object's surface. Implications of this ambiguity on structure recovery and shape representation are discussed.
In computer vision, texture plays an important role. In this work we propose five human perceptual texture features heuristically extracted. Since a modeling can not be obtained from these features, we use a discrimin...

We give an algorithm for the single-stage maximization criterion to attain multichannel blind deconvolution. This criterion determines the coefficients of equalizers for all channels simultaneously. However, the original maximization criterion has many constrains so that it is difficult to directly implement it as a numerical algorithm. By exploiting pre-whitening and lattice representations of paraunitary systems, we can reduce the original maximization problem into a simple constraint-free one and then present a stochastic gradient algorithm.
