This paper deals with simultaneous control of acceleration transmission, wheel load fluctuation, suspension deflection and sprung mass displacement. The control theory is based on the robust H/sub /spl infin// control theory with the consideration of the modeling errors lumped into an unstructured uncertainty acting on the unperturbed plant. The design method is new and powerful for electronic car suspension's control systems, as it presents a new approach to the designers for the computation of a controller maintaining robust stability while guaranteeing the performance in a wide frequency range, even in the case of the controller is applied to the actual plant. Additionally, the paper emphasizes that the assumptions in the modeling step may lead to unrealistic control designs and, as an example, the effect of the rigidity assumption on the behavior of the open loop system is discussed.

The authors consider the problem of reconfiguring VLSI/WSI arrays via the degradation approach. In this approach, all elements are treated uniformly and no elements are dedicated as spares. The goal is to derive a fault-free subarray T from the defective host array such that the dimensions of T are larger than some specified minimum. This problem has been shown to be NP-complete under various switching and routing constraints. However, it is shown that a special case of the reconfiguration problem with row bypass and column rerouting capabilities, is solvable in polynomial time using network flows. Using this result, a new fast and efficient reconfiguration algorithm is proposed. Empirical study shows that the new algorithm indeed produces good results in terms of the percentages of harvest and degradation of VLSI/WSI arrays.

The formulation of a heuristic-based car-shop scheduling application is described. The problem involves scheduling repair jobs on cars, given restrictions on operator availability and other resource/time constraints. The problem is solved by taking an intelligent generate-and-test approach and extending the simple notion of scheduling-the allocation of resources to tasks over time within constraints defining the system. Dispatch of tasks for scheduling and allocation of resources to them are guided by a set of heuristics. The system is built on a user-extensible knowledge base of rules and heuristics written in Prolog. The emphasis in the system is on providing a flexible AI problem representation and also collecting some empirical results on the performance of different heuristics in the system.< >

A method for the path-control of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems that combines the flexibility and easy installation of optical methods with the simplicity and robustness of the inductive method is proposed. Using a new computing paradigm, the cellular neural network (CNN), and a related device, the VLSI CNN chip, a very high speed solution that is less expensive than the conventional methods can be achieved. This AGV control complies with the requirements of CIM systems. Further advantages of the proposed system are as follows: fault tolerance and the ability to give instructions along the path, and the use of a simple local control.< >
