This paper investigates the effect of an upper body on efficient dynamic bipedal walking utilizing its natural dynamics. We introduce an upper body as a one-link torso and add it to a simple biped model by means of a bisecting hip mechanism (BHM). We first mathematically analyze the effect of the upper body with the BHM as a counterweight and discuss how it affects natural swinging motion of the swing leg. Second, we propose a simple method for generating efficient dynamic bipedal gait imitating the property of virtual passive dynamic walking, and numerically analyze the gait efficiency. Simulation results show that the walking system exhibits period-doubling bifurcation, and we discuss how the efficiency changes in the multiple-period gait.

In this paper, we design a neurofuzzy controller to control several variables of a rotary cement kilns. The variables are back-end temperature, pre-heater temperature, oxygen content and CO2 gas content of the kiln. The fuzzy control system, as an advanced control option for the kilns, is intended to minimize the operator interaction in the control process. The proposed fuzzy controller uses a neural network to optimize TSK-type fuzzy controller. Since there is no generally applicable analytical model for cement kilns, we use the real data derived from Saveh cement factory for the plant identification. A model, which is very similar to the real plant, is identified then; and the identified model is used for control design and simulations. Extensive simulation studies justify the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed control scheme in intelligent control of cement plant.

This paper compares the throughput performance of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDM) and multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) in inter-vehicle communications (IVC). In particular, we compare the throughputs in a situation where hidden terminals are no longer negligible. We encounter the situation in an intersection where two or more cars are crossing by. Due to the hidden terminal degradation, poor throughput performance is obtained with OFDM scheme. On the other hand, MC-CDMA has a resistance to the hidden terminals as it can support simultaneous packets. However, the transmission data rate is much slow because of the spreading. Thus the total throughput may not be as high as the OFDM. As results, we show that throughput of the OFDM is better than the MC-CDMA in a low traffic region. We found that the OFDM can communicate only with the nearest car. On the contrary, when the traffic is high, the MC-CDMA shows better throughput than the OFDM. In addition, we show that many packets can be received simultaneously in MC-CDMA. These results lead to the conclusion that when we want high-speed communication to a few cars, the OFDM is a good candidate. And when low speed but simultaneous communication with many surrounding cars is our desire, then the MC-CDMA is our choice. As MC-CDMA has a compatibility with an OFDM by setting a spreading factor to one, MC-CDMA system may be the preferable choice for IVC.

Objective quality assessment methods have been used widely for the evaluation of audio coding systems. However, even though many different competing multichannel audio compression coding systems are being developed, most current quality assessment methods only predict results for monaural or stereo signals. A prediction method is introduced that can be used for multichannel audio compression coding systems. The method introduces three variables as measures of the degradations in spatial quality: interaural time difference (ITD) distortion, interaural level difference (ILD) distortion, and interaural cross-correlation coefficient (IACC) distortion. Simultaneously ten model output variables proposed in ITU-R BS. 1387-1 are extracted from binaural signals that are synthesized using head-related transfer functions. The prediction model is trained and verified using results from subjective listening tests of multichannel audio compression coding systems that were performed by participants in the MPEG audio group. This new model, using the three interaural and ten nonspatial statistics, shows encouraging results in the prediction of perceived quality.

In densely deployed wireless sensor networks, sensor observations are spatially correlated. Furthermore, the nature of physical phenomena constitutes a temporal correlation between transmitted observations of an individual sensor node. In this paper, we propose a joint iterative channel decoding scheme using turbo codes. The proposed decoder exploits the spatial and temporal correlations of two binary data sequences to achieve additional coding gain. Simultaneously exploiting the spatial and temporal correlation, the proposed decoder achieves large performance gain.
