This paper presents an analysis of the effect of duty ratio on power loss and efficiency of the transcutaneous energy transmission system (TETS) with a class-E power amplifier. Conduction loss for each component of the TETS circuit is derived and the total efficiency of the TETS is expressed as functions of the duty ratio D . Three identical TETS at D = 0.25 , 0.5 and 0.75 are designed, constructed and tested. The experimental results match closely with the calculated ones at the power loss and total efficiency.

The propagation of short fatigue cracks is simulated in the microstructure of an austenitic-ferritic duplex steel by means of a mechanism-based model. Due to strong interactions with microstructural features, such as grain and phase boundaries the growth rate of these short cracks is substantially non-uniform. The strength of these barriers has been quantified by a Hall-Petch analysis and the findings have been implemented into a two-dimensional model for stage I crack propagation, which considers the orientation of available slip systems and can predict the crack growth in a real microstructure. The model allows the activation of secondary slip systems at the crack tip resulting in a crack propagation on multiple slip bands. To study the effect of a misorientation between two slip planes on crack propagation the stress field at the tip of a surface crack is calculated using a three dimensional extended crack model. Crack growth simulations carried out with the model show good agreement with experimental data.

A geometry-based method is proposed in this paper to solve the stereo-correspondence problem of single-lens biprism stereovision *** an optical bi-prism and a static CCD camera setup,image pairs are captured synchronously by two virtual cameras which are defined by two boundary lines:optical axis and CCD camera field of view(FOV) boundary *** geometrical relationship between the 2D images and the 3D scene are established by applying two fundamental theories:geometrical analysis in which all the pertinent points,lines and planes are expressed in 3D Camera Coordinates and the Rules of Refraction. Subsequently,the least square method is employed to fit the epipolar line with a set of obtained corresponding point candidates. The corresponding points are located by searching along the epipolar fine with SSD(Sum of Square Difference) correlation algorithm. By utilizing the uniquely geometrical properties of the bi-prism stereovision system,complicated camera calibration procedures are exempted to settle down the stereo *** geometry-based method can be easily generalized to tri-ocular and multi-ocular stereovision systems to facilitate the solving of stereo-correspondence *** are conducted to validate this method.

This paper describes the mechatronic design of a humanoid neck. To research human machine interaction, the head and neck combination should be able to approach the human behavior as much as possible. We present a novel humanoid neck concept that is both fast, and has a long range of motion in 4 degrees of freedom (DOFs). This enables the head to track fast objects, and the neck design is suitable for mimicking expressions. The humanoid neck features a differential drive design for the lower 2 DOFs resulting in a low moving mass and the ability to use strong actuators. The performance of the neck has been optimized by minimizing backlash in the mechanisms, and by using gravity compensation. Two cameras in the head are used for scanning and interaction with the environment.

The technique of Dynamic Positioning (DP) consists on keeping the position and heading of a vessel by the use of active thrusters. In Brazil, the offshore oil industry follows the recent tendency of performing several operations aided by DP systems, such as prospection, drilling, offloading and others. Currently, the DPS are based on conventional controllers (PD + Kalman Filter). This paper proposes the application of a controller based on nonlinear sliding mode control technique to the dynamic positioning of a floating vessel, as well as some simulations and experimental validation results.

By using an active cabin suspension with four bearings for commercial vehicles the degrees of freedom for lifting, rolling and pitching can be isolated actively from the disturbing vibrations. In this paper a model-based design of the vibration controller is described. The achieved reduction of vibrations is proofed by measurements obtained by road tests.

When the coaches and trucks are moving, the heads of the automobiles endure the strong press of the wind. If the wind can be used to generate the electricity, it will save a lot of energy. Based on the idea, an experiment was designed in this paper. A model automobile was modified to produce and store the electricity. The experiment results show that the method is feasible to save energy for automobiles.

This paper describes a design and development of a graphical user interface (GUI) panel for microprocessor-based controller for a flying robot applications. The robot consists of a mini-aerial helicopter with a build-in integrated camera that linked to a PC-based controller that manipulated by a GUI Panel program. A couple of full duplex transceivers are used to provide wireless communications between the controller and the flying robots. The main objective is building advanced GUI panel that could simulate and visualize high-performance robot systems for further image acquisition and analysis. The test result is well described and the vision data captured is encouraging for future development. Some problems is also being notified for further improvement of the flying robot system.
