The ANN is trained to give the proper compensator parameters (X, Tz) so as to always assign certain eigenvalues to desired locations in the output feedback system. The eigenvalues of concern are those associated with the angle /spl delta/ and speed /spl omega/. These eigenvalues are to be assigned to the specified locations under variations in several system parameters [static nonlinear load parameters A/sub p/ and A/sub q/, transmission line reactance, x/sub e/, and generated real power, P/sub G/]. The exact and ANN's results of compensator's parameters are plotted. In addition speed response is provided for the compensated and uncompensated systems. Results show that the ANN can be used on line once the off line training is performed to determine the compensator data so as to maintain the desired response of the system under variations in system parameters.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122384817","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}

In this paper a previously introduced generalization of the conventional discrete-time control method, in which the control is allowed to vary with time (open-loop fashion) across each sampling interval is considered and applied to the optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem. This generalization of discrete-time control, called \"discrete-continuous control\", leads to significant performance improvements compared to conventional discrete-time control. An important special case of discrete-continuous control where control variations are constrained to be linear-in-time across each sampling-interval, is examined in detail and a new general LQR theory is developed for that special case. These latter results are illustrated by a worked numerical example with simulation plots that clearly demonstrate the LQR performance improvements obtained by (linear-in-time) discrete-continuous control.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128592932","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 steady-state Kalman filter, which can be viewed as equivalent to an alpha-beta filter, has been widely applied to many different systems. A means of selecting the filter coefficients was proposed by Kalata (1984) using Kalman filter considerations. An alternative method based on noise reduction ratios is presented in this paper. Using a design criteria with the Kalata relation, optimal filter coefficients can be selected for specific applications. This method generalizes current methods for selecting the filter coefficients.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126251337","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}

For example, traditional computer databases are routinely used for variety of engineering work.

The analog nature of the systems also presents difficulties in integrating the visual information with other types of data. This paper presents a distributed multimedia based highway information system (MMHIS). The implementation of a MMHIS involves technologies in digital video and CODEC, and high speed network transmission.
