The in and out airflow is regulated by two on/off solenoid valves. The proposed methodology simplifies the handling of the two on/off solenoid valves by using a nonlinear relation between the on/off times of the valves and a single continuous control input. This relation represents an open loop control that gives a linear input/output response with maximum speed, and with reduced dead-band. Numerical simulations are given in order to validate the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116347788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The controller shows robustness to aircraft systems effects, such as Coriolis forces and aerodynamic drag, although only the effect of gravitational forces is compensated. The controller performance is verified by numerical tests.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128048706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea behind hyper-heuristics is to discover some combination of straightforward heuristics to solve a wide range of problems. This paper presents several strategies to improve a GA-based method that produces general hyper heuristics for the educational timetabling design problem using API-Carpio methodology. The GA uses static-length representation, witch involves the complete encoding of a solution algorithm capable to solve schedule design instances. This hyper-heuristic is achieved by learning and testing phases using real instances from Leon Institute of Technology (LIT) producing encouraging results for most of the instances. Finally we analyze the quality of our hyper-heuristic in the context of real Academic Timetabling Design problem against past Investigations.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131696323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
