Firstly, the fiber-optic sensors are analyzed and utilized to measure the aero-engine compressor output and aero-engine compressor is reduced to a 4-input 3-output single-spool state space linear model. Secondly, the discrete robust unknown input observer (DRUIO) is designed for the fault detection based on a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. The performance of the observer is demonstrated by applying the design procedure to a nonlinear gas turbine model. And the result shows that less than 2% sensor fault can be detected with disturbance.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129131339","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}

Since excessive delay in a process chamber may cause deterioration in wafer quality, wafer delays should be maintained in an acceptable range, or preferably, should be minimized. We focus on addressing these concerns for all wafers in a lot, including those in both the transient and possibly cyclic regime. As the general problem is computationally complex, we first assume that the robot sequence is given and develop a multistage linear programming (LP) model to minimize the total makespan, subject to wafer residency constraints, and subsequently the average delay. Forging into less tractable territory, we next develop a branch and bound algorithm to find an optimal robot sequence with minimum wafer delay. This approach enables us to solve problems that were not previously solvable. Simulation studies demonstrate that when the number of process modules grows to more than five, the branch and bound algorithm may fail to find an optimal solution due to computational complexity. In this case, we suggest a transient sequence based on cyclic policies together with the LP model; it is within 2% of optimal.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"40 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121174287","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 first part of the research, models of electric and conventional diesel city buses are used. Later, also parallel and series hybrid city buses are taken into consideration.

Learning human comfort requirements and incorporating it into building control system is one of the important issues. In the traditional HVAC control system, the thermal comfort and the acoustic comfort are often conflicted and we lack of a scheme to trade off them well. In this paper, we propose a unified control framework based on reinforcement learning to balance the multiple dimension comforts, including the thermal and acoustic comforts. We utilize the user's complaints in thermal and acoustic sensations as feedback and combine the current environment and devices information to learn the personalized optimal control policy using online Q-learning. The challenge caused by the complaints is coped with an incorporated perception estimation scheme in the Q-learning reward design. Both simulation results and the field experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm, especially in the adaptivity to the individual tradeoff between thermal and acoustic comfort.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126109322","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 novel reachability resolution method is presented based on the refinement of the hybrid automaton such that the reachability is reduced to the reachability in the underlying graph (without the dynamics), whenever the refinement step terminates.

The first model evaluates a collection plan where the number of mobile collections at each location is given. The second model has additional decision of the number of collections at each location and evaluates the amount of blood collected by taking into account demographics, donor generosity and donor availability.

To this end, a mixed-integer nonlinear model is developed to automatically decide upon flowing well production to a single or multiple manifolds (in the paper referred to as automatic routing). To bypass the complexity of the problem due to its nonlinear and discrete characteristics, a mixed-integer linear reformulation is proposed using piecewise-linear approximations. The resulting formulation splits flows in the pipelines based on the pressure differences which is also observed in commercial multiphase flow simulators. Finally, a computational analysis shows that significant gains can be obtained in oil production by considering automatic routing in the optimization model.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132729659","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}
