This work addresses the solution to the problem of active vibration suppression of a cantilever beam using piezoelectric actuation. For this purpose, we are taking advantage of the effectiveness of the positive position feedback control strategy (PPF) in order to control first mode vibrations of the analyzed beam. This control technique is well-known in the literature as a modal control method for vibration attenuation. The PPF controller accomplishes its best performance if tuned properly to the characteristics of the structure to be controlled. According to this we are going to realize the modal analysis of the cantilever beam utilizing the finite element method in Ansys to determine the structural frequency corresponding to the first mode, which is used as PPF controller frequency. On the other hand, we shall obtain the state-space representation of the cantilever beam using the subspace identification method in frequency domain applying the fast fourier transformation (FFT). Furthermore, we will simulate the discrete-time PPF controller using Matlab/Simulink. Lastly, the simulink designed discrete-time PPF controller will be tested using an xPC Target real-time system.

In this paper, we make an initial effort to define the scope and goals of “Cognitive Control (CoCo)”, which intends to be a research initiative for bringing about a novel generation of control systems which - in a certain sense - reflect the behavior of humans while solving everyday tasks. Very briefly stated, through the use of a rich inventory of available modeling techniques, control theory has achieved profound results in model-based control approaches. However, these solutions do not seem to begin to approach the true level of human intelligence. We are convinced that by the synthesis of these “tools” from a particular point of view the great efficiency of human intelligence can be integrated/fused with the complementary virtues of our machines (e.g. high computing power, fast operation, etc.), and our CoCo initiative can be realized and applied in practice.

Modeling of interconnection networks is a problem from the area of Mechatronics, which is a multidisciplinary field of engineering. In the modeling of interconnection networks, basic limitations are given by physical characteristics of the proposed network. Since the networks are modeled by graphs, the limitations are maximum degree and diameter of the graphs. The problem to determine the largest order (number of vertices) n(d, k) of a graph with given maximum degree d and diameter k is known as the degree-diameter problem. There is a well known upper bound on the order - Moore bound. A special kind of graphs that are highly symmetric are Cayley graphs (these graphs are vertex transitive). In this contribution we present a construction for Cayley graps with c(d, 2) ≥ 8/25 d 2 valid for all degrees d ≥ 6.

The spread of Web 2.0 has caused user-generated content explosion. Users can tag resources in order to describe and organize them. Tag clouds are visually depicted tags in order to facilitate browsing among numerous tags and resources. The goal of our paper is to improve tag clouds with vocabulary refinement and enhanced reference counts. Namely, three novel algorithms have been proposed to correct spelling and clerical errors, contract tags, and improve reference counts. The provided algorithms have been validated and verified on real-world tag clouds of a thesis portal.

The gradient of a scalar function is frequently used in various areas of mathematics. In informatics it can be used, for example, in the process of learning procedure of many control systems. The key observation is that gradient, if it is a non-zero vector, is a vector in the direction of greatest rate of the scalar function. In this contribution we show a method how to determine the direction(s) even if the gradient is zero vector. We show that this can be done with the knowledge which students have it their stage of study.

This paper proposes a methodology for the real-time finger gesture following and control of mechatronic systems based on computer vision and machine learning techniques. The goal of this research is to develop a human-machine interface that could be able to control a mechatronic system by performing finger gestures in space or on a surface without the use of any kind of keyboard neither a joystick. The finger gestures will be continuously followed and directly mapped with commands of mechatronic systems such as start moving, stop moving, forward moving, backward moving etc. The proposed methodology relies on the finger gesture data acquisition, hand segmentation, fingertips localization/ identification, high-level feature extraction, early recognition and prediction using machine learning techniques and its integration into a mechatronic system. The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics platform controlled by matlab software could be used in the proposed methodology.

This paper considers the estimation of states and parameters of a Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) vibration model in nanopositioning system based on a nonlinear Moving Horizon Observer (MHO). The MHO is experimentally tested and verified on measured data. The information about the displacement and speed together with the system parameters and unmodeled force disturbance is estimated through the Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) optimization procedure. The MHO provided superior performance in comparison with the benchmark method Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) in terms of faster convergence.

The parallel scaling (parallel performance up to 48 cores) of NAMD package has been investigated by estimation of the sensitivity of interconnection on speedup and benchmark results—testing the parallel performance of Myrinet, Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet networks. The system of ApoA1 of 92 K atoms, as well as 1000 K, 330 K, 210 K, 110 K, 54 K, 27 K and 16 K has been used as testing systems. The Armenian grid infrastructure (ArmGrid) has been used as a main platform for series of benchmarks. According to the results, due to the high performance of Myrinet and Infiniband networks, the ArmCluster system and the cluster located in the Yerevan State University show reasonable values, meanwhile the scaling of clusters with various types of Gigabit Ethernet interconnections breaks down when interconnection is activated. However, the clusters equipped by Gigabit Ethernet network are sensitive to change of system, particularly for 1000 K systems no breakdown in scaling is observed. The infiniband supports in comparison with Myrinet, make it possible to receive almost ideally results regardless of system size. In addition, a benchmarking formula is suggested, which provides the computational throughput depending on the number of processors. These results should be important, for instance, to choose most appropriate amount of processors for studied system.
