Due to the large and somewhat uncertain piston friction force, cylinder chamber pressure control with Coulombviscous friction compensation may not he sufficient enough to achieve a precise output force control. In the proposed approach, the output force error resulting from direct measurement is used to update the parameters of a novel friction model which includes not only the Coulomb-viscous friction force in sliding motion, hut also the output force dependent friction force in presliding motion. The experimental results achieved on a hydraulic setup comprised of two hydraulic cylinders in pull-pull configuration demonstrate a frequency response of ±ldB up to 20Hz. The excellent output force (joint torque) control performance implies the dynamic equivalency between the hydraulic actuation and the electrical actuation up to 10 ~ 20Hz.","PeriodicalId":153850,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133275737","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}

Christofides (2003) to study estimation and control of surface roughness of gallium arsenide (GaAs) [001] thin films during deposition in a horizontal-flow quartz reactor using triisobutylgallium (TIBGa) and tertiarybutylarsine (TBAs) as precursors and H/sub 2/ as the carrier gas. The adsorption of TIBGa onto the surface and the migration of Ga atoms on the surface are considered as the two rate-limiting steps in the film growth and are explicitly modelled within a kinetic Monte-Carlo simulation framework. The energy barriers and the pre-exponential factor of the migration rates of Ga atoms on the surface used in the simulations are initially determined by fitting the simulation results to experimental data reported in D.C. Law, et al, (2000). Then, a roughness estimator is constructed that allows computing estimates of the surface roughness of the GaAs thin films at a time-scale comparable to the real-time evolution of the process using discrete on-line roughness measurements. The roughness estimates are fed to a proportional-integral (PI) feedback controller, which is used to control the surface roughness to a desired level by manipulating the substrate temperature. Application of the proposed estimator/controller structure to the process model based on a large-lattice kinetic Monte-Carlo simulator demonstrates successful regulation of the surface roughness to the desired level. The proposed approach is shown to be superior to PI control with direct use of the discrete roughness measurements. The reason is that the available measurement techniques do not provide measurements at a frequency that is comparable to the time-scale of evolution of the dominant film growth dynamics.","PeriodicalId":153850,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124582922","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}

Several approximations have been used in the literature to approximate this distributed model using a set of ordinary differential equations, making the model appropriate for control design and on-line estimation. In this paper, the method of moments is used to derive a set of ordinary differential equations to describe the exact average dynamics of the distributed model.

A particularly cost-sensitive issue with energy storage is the high replacement cost of depleted battery banks. One possibility to ease the power burden on batteries and fuel cells is to use ultra-capacitors as load-leveling devices. The high power density of ultra-capacitors allows a significant reduction in the power fluctuations imposed on the remaining electrical system; however, the same ultra-capacitors have a very low energy density and therefore must be used sparingly and with coordination. A control strategy for coordinated power distribution is a central issue for ultracapacitor-supported systems. Toward this end, several control methods are implemented on an electric vehicle equipped with a battery/ultracapacitor system with the goal of improving battery life and overall vehicle efficiency. A particular goal is to obtain both a peaking load control and a frequency-weighted coordination between capacitor and battery in order to mitigate transients in the battery current demand. A key control design issue is that the control objectives vary with respect to vehicle velocity, driver's power demand, and state-of-charge of both the batteries and ultracapacitors.","PeriodicalId":153850,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122591642","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}

A stereo vision-based lane detection system is developed considering sensor configuration aspects. An inverse perspective mapping method is formulated based on the relative correspondence between the left and right cameras so that the 3-dimensional road geometry can be reconstructed in a robust manner. A new monitoring model for estimating the road geometry parameters is constructed to reduce the number of the measured signals. The selection of the sensor configuration and specifications is investigated by utilizing the characteristics of standard highways. Based on the sensor configurations, it is shown that appropriate sensing region on the camera image coordinate can be determined.
