Smith predictor is a well-known method for compensating time delay in control systems. Therefore, it has been applied to many systems with time delay so far. However, delay time should be estimated precisely in this method. So, if time delay is fluctuant and unpredictable, like the communication delay over the Internet, performance of Smith predictor deteriorates. This paper proposes "Communication Disturbance Observer". It regards the error caused by time delay as disturbance torque (or acceleration), then it can observe and compensate the error. Furthermore, it doesn't need to estimate the value of delay time; therefore it can be applied to control systems with fluctuant and unpredictable time delay. It can be said that control system with "Communication Disturbance Observer" is robust to time delay and fluctuation of that. Effectiveness and robustness of proposed method is shown by result of simulation and experiment. In experiment, master-slave manipulator was used over the Internet. We were able to get the sense of touch from the environment of remote site.

Speech recognition and understanding have been studied for many years. The neural network is well-known as a technique that is able to classify nonlinear problems. Much research has been done in applying neural networks to solving the problem of recognizing speech such as Arabic. Arabic offers a number of challenges to speech recognition. We propose a fully-connected hidden layer between the input and state nodes and the output. We also investigate and show that this hidden layer makes the learning of complex classification tasks more efficient. We also investigate the difference between LPCC (linear predictive cepstrum coefficients) and MFCC (Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients) in the feature extraction process. The aim of the study was to observe the differences in the 29 letters of the Arabic alphabet from "alif" to "ya". The purpose of this research is to upgrade the knowledge and understanding of Arabic alphabet or words using a fully-connected recurrent neural network (FCRNN) and backpropagation through time (BPTT) learning algorithm. Six speakers (a mixture of male and female) in a quiet environment are used in training.

This paper studies the H/sub /spl infin// controller order reduction due to the stable invariant zeros and its application to a magnetic suspension system. First, we explore the H/sub /spl infin// controller order reduction due to the stable complex invariant zeros to address how we can go beyond the known results for the order reduction due to the unstable or real stable invariant zeros. We propose sufficient conditions for the existence of the reduced-order H/sub /spl infin// controllers due to the stable complex invariant zeros. If the proposed sufficient conditions are satisfied, we present two LMI based procedures to compute the reduced order H/sub /spl infin// controllers. Second, we address the application of these theoretical results to a mixed sensitivity problem for a magnetic suspension system with a flexible beam. The numerical computations of the reduced-order controllers and the comparison with the full-order controllers are reported. The numerical investigation carried out validates the proposed theoretical results.

The challenge of human factor influence for analyzing the reliability and safety of car transportation is discussed. An analysis of the density and the kind of use among the drivers in different regions and seasons of the year is made. The possibilities to detect the driver falling into a relaxant, somnolent or micro-sleep stage by the use of suitable combination of secondary factors are investigated. The operation of the driver in the moving car is an example of very complicated interaction between several very heterogeneous systems.

In this paper a design methodology of 'distributed' energy systems is presented. These are defined as energy systems with unregulated distributed generators connected to the lower voltage levels. The cornerstone in their design is the steady-state analysis of distribution systems under uncertainty in energy in energy generation and consumption. Based on this definition, the structure of a system-design tool is proposed. The system is described by the steady-state model, while all different types of distributed generators (dispatchable or nondispatchable technology concepts) are treated in a unifying manner through probabilistic modelling. The modelling of the interdependence between the random input variables is treated by introducing the concepts of comonotonicity, countermonotonicity and independence between distributed generations and distributed consumptions as stochastic bounds describing extreme statistical dependence between the input random variables.

A test structure and method for two-dimensional analysis of fabrication process and reliability of MOSFET using a photoemission microscope are presented. Arrays of 20/spl times/10(=200) MOSFETs were successfully measured at a time and evaluated the fluctuation of their characteristics. The fluctuation of hot-carrier-induced photoemission intensity was larger as gate length becomes smaller. Although the intensity fluctuation of photoemission in the same MOSFET was within small range, the fluctuation all over the MOSFET array was relatively large and independent of the position in the array.

We have studied the hydrostatic pressure dependence of Ge nanocrystals embedded in a SiO2 matrix on a Si substrate by Raman scattering at room temperature. During the first cycle of increasing pressure, we observed a step change in the Ge Raman mode from 310.4 to 313.8cm−1 at ∼23kbar. The linear pressure coefficients α obtained before and after the step change at ∼23kbar are 0.42 and 0.64cm−1kbar−1, respectively. Upon decreasing pressure, the Ge mode follows a single slope of pressure coefficient α=0.64cm−1kbar−1. A finite-element analysis was carried out to investigate the elastic-field distribution in the Ge/SiO2/Si nanocrystal system, where the discontinuity of the specific geometric configuration with different elastic constants causes local areas of stress concentration around the interface. The step change of the Raman shifts with pressure at ∼23kbar was attributed to complete delamination between the SiO2 film and the Si substrate.

The timing to generate communicative actions and utterance in face--to-face greetings are analyzed by synthesis. First, the analysis of the greeting experiment clarifies that utterance of human is delayed for 0.3 sec to communicative actions. Then, the analysis by synthesis by using an embodied robot confirms that the variation of the lags of utterance to communicative actions brings different communicative effects, i.e. about 0.3 sec lag is desirable for single greetings, and the longer lag is for polite greetings. This result demonstrates the importance of the timing in human-robot embodied communication.
