In the last few years we have observed an explosive growth of multimedia computing, communication and applications. Information technology (IT) has a great effect in our everyday life and is transforming the way people live, work, and interact with each other, and is impacting the way businesses, government services, education, entertainment, and medical-care are operating. In this research, we propose and develop a remote medical-care system for supporting nurses, care managers and care helpers during their work. The proposed system has three functions: a multi-point communication function using video images and voice, vital signs data auto-uploading and referring function, and a drip infusion monitoring function. In this paper, we present the proposed remote medical-care support system

This paper proposes a new optimization approach of a Fuzzy Logic based-Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FLPID) controller by the Multiple Tabu Search (MTS) algorithm for Automatic Generation control (AGC) including Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) units. Conventionally, the membership functions and control rules of fuzzy logic control are obtained by trial and error method or experiences of designers. To overcome this problem, the MTS is applied to simultaneously tune PID gains, membership functions and control rules of FLPID controller to minimize frequency deviations of the system against load disturbances. The MTS algorithm introduces additional techniques for improvement of search process such as initialization, adaptive search, multiple searches, crossover and restarting process. Simulation results explicitly show that the performance of the proposed optimum FLPID controller is superior to the conventional PID controller and the non-optimum FLPID controller in terms of the overshoot, settling time and robustness against variations of system parameters.

Increasing demand for improved reliability and survivability of mission-critical systems is driving the development of health monitoring and Automated Contingency Management (ACM) systems. An ACM system is expected to adapt autonomously to fault conditions with the goal of still achieving mission objectives by allowing some degradation in system performance within permissible limits. ACM performance depends on supporting technologies like sensors and anomaly detection, diagnostic/prognostic and reasoning algorithms. This paper presents the development of a generic prototype test bench software framework for developing and validating ACM systems for advanced propulsion systems called the Propulsion ACM (PACM) Test Bench. The architecture has been implemented for a Monopropellant Propulsion System (MPS) to demonstrate the validity of the approach. A Simulink model of the MPS has been developed along with a fault injection module. It has been shown that the ACM system is capable of mitigating the failures by searching for an optimal strategy. Furthermore, few relevant experiments have been presented to show proof of concepts.

This paper investigates a fault detection problem for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump systems with norm-bounded uncertainties and mode-dependent time-delays. Attention is focused on constructing the residual generator based on the filter of which its parameters matrices are dependent on the system mode, that is, the fault detection filter is a Markovian jump system as well. The design of fault detection filter is reduced to H-infinity filtering problem by using H-infinity control theory, which can guarantee the difference between the residual and the fault (or, more generally weighted fault) as small as possible in the context of enhancing the robustness of residual to modeling errors, control inputs and unknown inputs. Sufficient condition for the existence of the above filters is established by means of linear matrix inequalities, which can be readily solved by using standard numerical software. A numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

The methods used for analysis and calculation of the different voltage levels in power network are complex and can't direcdy analyze and calculate. According to the network theories of electro circuit, an equivalent circuit of transformer is proposed, which consist of operational amplifier in this paper. An engineering model of transformer is established by means of the voltage controlled voltage and circuit controlled circuit with the ideal operational amplifier, furthermore, the theoretic network equation is obtained from the electro circuit and the simulation analysis is conducted. Results of simulation show that equivalent circuit of transformer can be replaced by the engineering model of transformer, and the network equation of the model meets the equation of transformer. Thus the direct simulation analysis and calculations at different voltage levels can be conducted in the power network.

A novel system is presented for testing and analyzing the vibration parameters based on Lab windows/CVI technology. The system, which adopts AD card made by ADXI Corp. and three dimensional MEMS accelerators made by AD Corp, has optimized hardware configuration, concise software, high precision and large date capacity ready for long-time working. It can dynamically test multi-channel vibration signals and analyze the corresponding parameters, like vibration intensity, vibration direction and spectrum. With the stored data, this real-time system is flexible enough to be able to conduct offline analysis of vibration status. And the offline analysis results will be a good help for the design of vehicles' vibration system, the design of package system, and even a help for establishing the standard of transportation tests. This system has been successfully applied to the test and analysis of the transportation status for a key part of a certain important weapon.
