This paper explores feedback controller design for cavity flows based on reduced-order models derived using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) along with Galerkin projection method. Our preliminary analysis shows that the equilibrium of the POD model is unstable and a static output feedback controller cannot stabilize it. We develop Linear Quadratic (LQ) optimal state feedback controllers and LQ optimal observers for the linearized models. The linear controllers and observers are applied to the nonlinear system using simulations. The controller robustness is numerically tested with respect to different POD models generated at different forcing frequencies. An estimation for the region of attraction of the linear controllers is also provided.

In this presentation, we show some counter-examples to a naive belief that the security of QKD is based on no-cloning theorem. One example is shown by explicitly proving that one can indeed generate an unconditionally secure key from Alice's two-photon emission part in "SARG04 protocol" proposed by V. Scarani et al, in Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 057901 (2004). This protocol differs from BB84 only in the classical communication. It is, thus, interesting to see how only the classical communication of QKD protocol might qualitatively change its security. We also show that one can generate an unconditionally secure key from the single to the four-photon part in a generalized SARG04 that uses six states. Finally, we also compare the bit error rate threshold of these protocols with the one in BB84 and the original six-state protocol assuming a depolarizing channel

In this paper, an intelligent controller is applied to speed control of a switched reluctance motor. Two techniques are used which have been successfully used in other intelligent modeling and control applications. Firstly, a neuro-fuzzy locally linear model tree system is used for data driven modeling of the switched reluctance motor. Secondly, a neural computing technique based on a mathematical model of amygdala and the limbic system is used for emotional control of the switched reluctance motor. The obtained results indicate the applicability of the proposed techniques in intelligent control of this highly nonlinear system.
The message-passing paradigm is now widely accepted and used mainly for inter-process communication in distributed memory parallel systems. However, one of its disadvantages is the high cost associated with the data e...

Recently, the capsule endoscope has been developed to observe image from the inside intestine. Such a capsule endoscope does not have locomotion or hold by it self. To get proper diagnosis and meditation, it is necessary to control capsule from outside to enable to guide locomotion. The designed and implemented capsule has feasibility to contracts the small intestine by electrical stimulus from stimulus pad. When the small intestine is contracted by electrical stimulus, the capsule can move to opposite direction which can boost moving speed of the capsule or change moving direction. The implemented stimuli capsule always monitors excessive energy transmit and automatically shut down electrical stimuli to make more secure. Also the stimuli capsule goes to stand by mode to save battery, and reset by comparator circuit which is connected to two stimulus pad. To verify the design and implement stimuli capsule, in-vitro experiments are performed with pig's small intestine.
