This algorithm is based on a recently published fast one-dimensional DCT algorithm. The new algorithm is recursive, fast, and numerically stable. The two-dimensional decomposition in this new algorithm is based on the vector-radix approach. In this approach, the data matrix is partitioned into four subblocks, each of which, after some processing is transformed by a lower order DCT. The results from the lower order transforms are then combined to form the desired two-dimensional DCT. The overall complexity of the new transform is compared in terms of the number of multiplications and additions required to perform the two-dimensional DCT with those of a row/column implementation using the fast one-dimensional transform.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

The DSC method was first used to improve the performance of multi-input-multioutput (MIMO) robotic control systems. Control algorithms to which this method can be applied require each system output (or state variable) at a different time point and generate each plant input at a different time point. The underlying concept is introduced, and its performance is demonstrated through examples of simple robots operating with model-based controllers. Two controllers are used to drive the same plants. One is based on conventional control principles where feedback signals are simultaneously sampled and plant inputs are applied simultaneously, and the other utilizes DSC. Differences in the control action are then analyzed. General aspects of the distributed sampling controls are also discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

The control system designs are based on linear quadratic Gaussian loop transfer recovery (LQG/LTR) design methodology. The linearized slew maneuver equations used are derived from a nonlinear model developed for large-angle nonlinear arbitrary slew maneuvers and include 10-mode truncation for the vibrations of the flexible appendage. The slew maneuver control systems are developed for the combined problem of the slew maneuver of the entire assembly and the total vibration suppression of the appendage. The designs incorporate both the structured and the unstructured model uncertainties. The controller designs are further analyzed in terms of singular values and transmission zeros of the closed-loop transfer function matrix of the multivariable system. These singular values are utilized in studying the system sensitivity due to modal frequencies of the truncated model of the elastic member and the structural damping. The sensitivity study is further interpreted in terms of the robustness issues.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

Time code multiplexing (TCM) consists of an encoder and a decoder. The encoder transmits the quantized time intervals corresponding to the time at which the input signal passed through uniformly spaced amplitude levels. The decoder reconstructs the signal by using a sin(x)/x convolution in the amplitude instead of time domain. Even though the channel bit stream is variable rate, TCM systems can be effectively used with the packet-switched voice/data networks of today's technology. The Nyquist rate which exists for the bandlimited uniform time-sampling systems has a parallel Nyquist rate for uniform amplitude-sampling systems. However, TCM offers the advantage of being able to change the input signal bandwidth and therefore the minimum required sampling rate, which is not easily accomplished with uniform time-sampling systems. TCM data results are discussed, showing SNR-versus-bit-rate performance. Audio recordings of computer simulations are presented for 8-, 16-, and 24-kbit/s systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.
