The proposed approach is based on a two stage methodology: (i) the dynamic parametric model is developed using the Bayesian paradigm; several validation tests are conducted for assessing the suitability of the model; (ii) development of a feedback control law comprising a three term PID compensator for rigid body motion control of the TRMS in the hovering mode. The developed control strategy is designed and implemented within the simulation environment of the TRMS rig using the Bayesian model. The performance of the proposed control scheme is assessed in terms of output tracking. This is accomplished by comparing the system response with the controller to one without control action (open loop configuration). The results have shown that improved closed loop tracking of the reference signal implies good damping and hence tighter control.","PeriodicalId":126072,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd International Conference on Signals, Circuits and Systems (SCS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130067161","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 unit can serve binary as well as duo-binary codes with any number of states. The architecture is arranged into a cluster of state-metric processors plus two multiplexing networks for feedback and normalization, configured on-the-fly for the code in use. An optimized solution is presented allowing the support of every code among 8-state duo-binary, 8-state binary and 2-state binary codes, i.e., of every Turbo and LDPC code defined by the modern communication standards. The logical synthesis on different CMOS technologies shows that the architecture attains a maximum clock frequency of 450 MHz. Finally, the complexity overhead of such a flexible design is only about 18% w.r.t. optimized single-standard solutions.","PeriodicalId":126072,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd International Conference on Signals, Circuits and Systems (SCS)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132974264","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}

Furthermore, simpler expressions are obtained when considering independent inverse-Gaussian shadowing.

We present results for crystalline gadolinium oxides on silicon in the cubic bixbyite structure grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. On Si(100), crystalline Gd2O3 grows usually as (110)-oriented domains, with two orthogonal in-plane orientations. Layers grown under best vacuum conditions often exhibit poor dielectric properties due to the formation of crystalline interfacial silicide inclusions. Additional oxygen supply during growth improves the dielectric properties significantly. Layers grown by an optimized MBE process display a sufficiently high-K value to achieve equivalent oxide thickness values ≪ 1 nm, combined with ultra-low leakage current densities, good reliability, and high electrical breakdown voltage. A variety of MOS capacitors and field effect transistors has been fabricated based on these layers. Efficient manipulation of Si(100) 4° miscut substrate surfaces can lead to single domain epitaxial Gd2O3 layer. Such epi-Gd2O3 layers exhibited significant lower leakage currents compared to the commonly obtained epitaxial layers with two orthogonal domains. For capacitance equivalent thicknesses below 1 nm, this differences disappear, indicating that for ultrathin layers direct tunneling becomes dominating.","PeriodicalId":126072,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd International Conference on Signals, Circuits and Systems (SCS)","volume":"2021 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126707682","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}

This problem arises in B3G networks where different location-dependent observables come from heterogeneous Radio Access Networks (RAN) leading to different levels of uncertainty on both ranges and anchor nodes positions. We assume a Gaussian model on the node position error as well as on the ranging error. We derive novel Maximum Likelihood based location estimator which considers these two sources of uncertainty. The performances of this new estimator is then compared to the ML estimator which does not consider erroneous reference nodes positions. Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed estimator achieves better performances especially in the context of short range positioning.","PeriodicalId":126072,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd International Conference on Signals, Circuits and Systems (SCS)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114076559","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}
