A novel method for producing large‐area 3D nanostructured quasicrystalline materials uses 2D multiple exposure lithography to produce an octagonal quasiperiodic surface‐relief template (background image). A replica in polydimethylsiloxane is then used as a phase mask to create 3D bicontinuous axial quasicrystalline SU‐8 epoxy nanostructures (see insets), as reported on p. 1403 by Ion Bita, Edwin Thomas, and co‐workers.

Stretchable single‐crystalline GaAs nanoribbons and stretchable electronic devices fabricated with these ribbons are reported on p. 2857 by Sun, Rogers, and co‐workers. The inside cover shows an array of ‘wavy' GaAs nanoribbons (background) sitting on an elastomeric poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) support. Wavy and buckled ribbons integrated with metal electrodes (foreground inset) enable high‐performance, fully stretchable electronics, i.e., metal–semiconductor field‐effect transistors.

An efficient simulation algorithm using an algebra of transients for gate circuits was proposed by Brzozowski and Ésik. This algorithm seems capable of predicting all the signal changes that can occur in a circuit under worst-case delay conditions. We verify this claim by comparing simulation with binary analysis. For any feedback-free circuit consisting of one- and two-input gates, we prove that all signal changes predicted by simulation occur in binary analysis, provided that wire delays are taken into account. Two types of finite automata play an important role in our proof.

This contribution is dealing with the problems of distributed systems for the building control. The universal system for building automation being developed in department of Measurement and Control, VSB-TU Ostrava is described here. The system makes use of the communication network Lonworks and serves for control and mutual interconnection of the building technical equipment. In the frrst part of the contribution the technologies used in the building control sphere are decribed. In the second part the system being developed and laboratory model, on which the system is applied, are described.

This paper aims to devise a new methodology for evaluating water conservation programs based on expert computer knowledge-based systems and fuzzy set analyses. computer-programmed surveys were carried out on a random sample of water users in Amman City, Jordan, before and after they received water educational material. Relative weights were given for each response and a cumulative grade was estimated. The follow-up surveys reveal that a reasonable rise of water-related knowledge is achieved after respondents are exposed to water educational material. Fuzzy set analyses reveal that some fluctuations in the relative rise of public awareness programs may be attributed to insufficient knowledge. The fuzzy set logic technique enabled us to condense a great many data into a small set of variable rules. This in turn made our expert system effective in evaluating water conservation programs.

A servo control strategy for high speed servo-pneumatic actuator systems is developed, which has the following main features: (1) delay-time minimisation; (2) null-offset deadband compensation; (3) acceleration feedback; (4) gain scheduling; (5) target position compensation algorithm. Applying the control strategy with above named main features, the servo-pneumatic actuation is capable of high speed point-to-point positioning. With the applications and system configurations investigated, velocity of up to 4m/s and accelerations above 4g can be demonstrated. The repeatability attainable is a function of the feedback mechanism and application configuration (±0.25mm or better has been demonstrated). The control strategy is initially developed based on a platform of 32bit DSP and then a cut-down version of the control algorithm has been implemented in a 16-bit microprocessor based motion control platform.

Universal learning networks (ULNs) have been proposed, which are a super set of any kinds of supervised learning networks. One of the important features of the ULNs is that the ULNs have a systematic algorithm for calculating higher order derivatives of the criterion function with respect to parameters. Both robust control and chaos control methods using the second order derivatives of the ULNs have also been proposed. In this paper, a new control design method of the nonlinear systems is proposed, which is an extension of the above robust control method in terms of the stability as well as the quick response of the systems.

GeoSheet (version 1.0) is an interactive visualization tool for visualizing geometric algorithms in distributed environments. It provides features such as interactive visualization of program states for debugging, high-level graphical input/output manipulation facilities for geometric objects, reuse of existing data structures and algorithms implementation, and more importantly distributed executions on heterogeneous machines at different sites. To minimize development effort of the tool we make use of existing software packages available in public domain. Specifically we extend Xfig with a message-driven interface and a socket-based interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism. This extended -Xfig is the backbone of this version of the tool. Object-oriented programming methodology is used to construct the visualization interface. By deriving from traditional data type and algorithm libraries, our abstract GeoObject representation super-classes are easy to use, easy to construct, and highly portable. Although GeoSheet is not restricted to a particular application domain or any programming language, this release only contains geometric algorithm implementations in C++ and LEDA. We hope that the geometric algorithm designers will find it useful when they develop their algorithms.

Carbon base doping for high performance HBTs promises higher reliability, but the growth techniques must be optimized so that the hydrogen passivation of C acceptors inherent in suitable epitaxial growth techniques does not degrade device performance. Recent results are discussed in this paper.
