In the problem, inventory level and shortage level of crude oil at each customer are limited; both fully loaded and partially loaded tankers are allowed in the transportation of crude oil, and part of the tankers may be rented from a third party. The objective is to determine in each period the schedule of tankers and pipelines and the number of tankers of each type to be rented/returned at the supply center in order to minimize the total logistics cost. After formulating the problem as a mixed integer programming problem, we generalize an existing Lagrangian relaxation approach that only allows fully loaded tanks to one that allows both fully loaded and partially loaded tankers of the problem. Numerical experiments show that the new approach can find a near optimal solution of the problem of large size in a reasonable computation time.","PeriodicalId":145608,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123867575","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 general, the position control of EHA systems based on the model of itself is difficult because of system uncertainties such as parameter perturbation, friction, and external disturbance. To solve the problems due to these system uncertainties, an adaptive back-stepping control (ABSC) scheme with radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN) is proposed. The adaptive back-stepping controller consists of back-stepping controller and adaptive rule for reconstruction error. Moreover, to estimate the bounded uncertainties of the reconstruction error, the RBFNN with online update law is designed. The effectiveness of the adaptive back-stepping control system with RBFNN was compared with that of the standard back-stepping control system through computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":145608,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114731221","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}

It can handle face towels and hand towels. But to handle the bath towels, it is required to recognize the marks on bath towels. The marks on bath towels are written as a texture. The image of the towel marks contains many noises, and it is hard to recognize the mark in many textures. Here, to recognize the marks, the recognition method using HOG features has been introduced.

The system consists of a CPU and four Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSN), i.e. two ultrasonic transmitter nodes and two ultrasonic receiver nodes. Four ultrasonic time-of-flight (TOF) measurements together with the velocity information of an AMR are used to update the AMR's location and pose by utilizing the Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) algorithm. In order to verify the concept, two experiment prototypes were built. The AMR moved along a beeline path and an arc path respectively, simultaneously the system calculated the locations and the poses in time. The results proved that the new structure system has high performance as well as simplicity, and provides an excellent solution for AMR on the field of localization and pose tracking over indoor environment.","PeriodicalId":145608,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126332460","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 optimization algorithm was established according to the criterion of the image evaluation based on kirsch operator with dual threshold. By using the method an optimistic result of image restoration was obtained. The experimental results have shown that the method not only enhanced luminance and contrast, but also discovered more detail edges information.
