In this article a multimedia computer-assisted learning (MCAL) system is presented. The major objective of this work was to investigate the potential of using such systems as tools for transferring instructional course information through various types of computer media as opposed to the classic CAL systems. The philosophy and techniques employed to design the system are investigated. Usage of the implemented system and its merits have been illustrated through its application to teach engineering students and technicians the theory and concepts of marine radar. System design, implementation, test, and revision phases are presented and discussed.

In the present paper, a fuzzy logic based ultrasonic motor (USM) is used in order to properly control the speed and phase difference for the elasticity and viscosity of a robot joint. The traveling wave USM is driven by two-phase sine wave signals, and the phase difference of the signals is usually selected to +90/spl deg/ and -90/spl deg/ meaning high speed and maximum torque of the USM. In this paper, we describe USM rotational speed characteristics at no load. The first phase difference is adjusted in the range from +90/spl deg/ to -90/spl deg/ by fuzzy controller as is the reached target speed.
This paper presents an adaptive hybrid control approach for a robot manipulator to interact with its flexible object. Because of its flexibility, the object dynamics influence the robot’s control system, and since it...

Describes the FAST concurrent engineering (CE) implementationmethodology that has been developed by the authors at CranfieldUniversity, through research and consultancy activities. The methodologyis presented in a paper‐based work‐book and describes three stages acompany could proceed through to take it from an initial interest in CE,to the successful implementation of a pilot CE product developmentproject and then expansion. The focus is on the introduction ofmultidisciplinary product development teams as the main vehicle forradically improving product development performance.
A hybrid system is a system containing both of time-evolving components and event-driven components. A formal approach is explored in this paper, based on Extended Duration Calculus (EDC), for the development of hybri...

In this paper, we study the performance of a prioritized on-board baseband switch in conjunction with a multibeam satellite handling integrated services. The services considered for the analysis include voice, video, file transfer and interactive data. The prioritized switch uses both input and output buffering, switch speed-up as well as a two-phase head-of-line resolution algorithm, in order to reduce the buffer loss while maintaining acceptable user delays. The minimum required buffer capacity and switch speed-up for each service in a prioritized environment are found under uniform traffic conditions. It is shown that under uniform traffic conditions, only minimal buffering and switch speed-up are needed even for the lowest priority users. The performance dependence on the switch size is also substantially reduced with head of line resolution and buffering even in a prioritized environment.
