To ensure quality, after an operation period, the burn-in chamber has to be calibrated. The calibration process requires an engineer to manually monitor a temperature at the hybrid temperature recorder connected to the burn-in chamber throughout the entire process. It is a time consuming operation and inefficient process due to a large number of burn-in chambers used in the production line, when comparing with a limited number of engineers. This paper expresses a development of hybrid temperature recorder monitoring system used to improve such the calibration process. There are two main systems involved, i.e., a temperature recording system and a monitoring system. However, the monitoring system is mainly focused in this paper. Also, an object-oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) is applied in the development process. The monitoring system interconnects the hybrid temperature recorder through a wireless network to receive the temperatures captured from sensors inside the burn-in chamber. Then, the temperature data is processed and displayed at the central server of system in the engineering office. This could allow the engineer to centrally monitor all hybrid temperature recorders used in the calibration process of burn-in chamber in real-time. The monitoring system can display the alarm signal when the errors occur during the calibration process and sent it to the engineer for alerting as well. Furthermore, the temperature data can be stored in a database at the central server for future reference.","PeriodicalId":158687,"journal":{"name":"ICCAS 2010","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127881611","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}

Firstly, the PID controller is designed according to the Zieger-Nichos 2 method with fast response and high robustness. Secondly, the grey predictor is suggested to use to estimate the system response in a near future in order to improve the control performance. In addition, the step of Grey predictor is adjusted by using the fuzzy control to satisfy the control requirement. Consequently, the control system fastens rising time, shortens settling time, reduces steady state error to zero, oppresses overshoot of transient response, and also prevents disturbance. A detailed specification of the control structure and its design process as well as simulation results achieved from Matlab/Simulink program are also presented. The simulation results show that the proposed control method has the ability to apply for nonlinear systems with higher control performance.","PeriodicalId":158687,"journal":{"name":"ICCAS 2010","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123170748","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}

Chung","doi":"10.1109/ICCAS.2010.5669938","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCAS.2010.5669938","url":null,"abstract":"This paper focuses on developing a control method for a robotic single-master multi-slave (SMMS) system to cooperatively control mobile agents for multi-weapon multi-target pairing (WTP). Major components of the developed control method are potential field based leader-follower formation, compensation for operator-induced errors, and weapon-target pairings (WTP). A SMMS system has two subsystems, a single master and multi-slave robots. The master robot can transmit operator commands to the multi-slave robots which are a team of mobile manipulators to execute them while sensing environments. The multi-slave robots are divided into subgroups according to the number and types of weapons and targets for optimal effects. Each subgroup has a leader-follower architecture/ formation. The group leader is remotely controlled by a human operator to lead the leaders and followers of the subgroups. The transparency of the SMMS system is adjusted adaptively due to the compensation for operator-induced errors if they are detected. A sensor based auto-switching method is developed as a means to combine formation reconfiguration, collision avoidance, and motion control for reliability and robustness of the system. The WTP method is derived from the proven auction algorithm for a single target and is extended for multi-weapon multi-target cases, which optimizes effect-based weapon-target pairing based on a new heuristic algorithm. This is a novel approach that combines rule-based and function-based weapon-target pairing. The multi-weapon/ target pairing (MWTP) method is a weighted attack guidance table (WAGT), which includes the benefits of assigning weapon system combinations to targets. MWTP converges rapidly - as is the case for auction algorithms with integer benefits - but produces a suboptimal solution in general. Since MWTP represents a heuristic algorithm, further performance evaluation is anticipated in the future to verify the performance and the quality of the solution. A simulation study illustrates the efficacy of the proposed SMMS system for weapon-target pairing and target pursuit applications. In the simulation, the targets are assumed to be detected, identified, and geo-located by the operator and/or sensors. The team moves in an adaptive leader-follower formation to avoid obstacles if any and track targets as if the team was in a potential field. Each robot in the team is prioritized according to its functionality based on the types of weapons and targets, and subgroups are formed accordingly. Then, a robot in each subgroup is selected as the leader based on its proximity to the target and the weapon type. The subgroup leaders track the reference paths generated with respect to the positions of the group leader.","PeriodicalId":158687,"journal":{"name":"ICCAS 2010","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122310613","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 cardiovascular surgery, radiologists manually construct 3-D volume model of patient organ and provide this information to cardiovascular surgeons, therefore automation technique for image processing of building patient 3-D volume model is highly requested from clinical site. The 3-D volume model is used in not only diagnosing patient disease condition, but also making a surgical plan before an operation. In the case of using CAD system for a cardiovascular disease patient, computed tomography angiography (CTA) has been used as the source data that clearly indicates the region of blood flow on the image due to contrast agent. However, sufficient information for the diagnosis is not obtained from CTA, because the regions of aneurysm and aortic wall tissue can not distinguished correctly even using the latest CAD system. Then, this study proposes Fuzzy-based region growing method that enables a computer to have the ability of reading radiogram. We focused on the skill of reading radiogram of experienced doctors, because they know the boundary line between aneurysm and aortic wall tissue on CTA image. Hence, Fuzzy inference has been employed to express doctor's skill of reading radiogram and used as the growing criteria.
