Kalman filters are linear filters while extended Kalman Filters are non linear in nature. Extended Kalman filters therefore show better performance because A,B,C and D matrices are continuously updated. In both cases however basic LQR techniques are used to calculate the state space matrices. The aim of this paper is to design a H,, Observer by robustifing the Blackman's state space plant model through H. loop shaping procedure so that it can tolerate maximum uncertainty. The paper also compares the performance of the designed observer with an extended Kalman filter in order to demonstrate the superiority of the H. technique.

In contrast the commercial practice still remains ad-hoc. Although the Web based systems has become increasingly complex, the development process is still un-engineered. \"There are very few standard methods for the Web developers to use. Hence, there is a strong need to understand and undertake Web engineering \". (Y. Deshpande and M. Gaedke, 2005) This paper is a result of our extensive survey of literature, our work and interaction with developers. This paper gives an introductory overview on Web engineering, it assesses similarities and differences between development of traditional software and Web based systems, and reviews some of the ongoing work in this area. We discuss the need for development of process model for Web based applications (WBA). such as is available far conventional software, with an overview of our work on development of such a process framework (R. Ahmad, et al, 2005). This paper also attempts to highlight the areas that need further study.","PeriodicalId":222828,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Emerging Technologies, 2005.","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126260945","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}

TORA models resonance capture phenomenon observed in dual-spin spacecraft and rotating machinery. The design of control law for TORA is challenging because of its underactuated nature, posing problems in exact feedback linearization. A novel nonlinear controller design for TORA is presented: exploiting recently introduced dynamic surface control. The design procedure is simpler and more intuitive than already presented designs. Stability of the controller end advantages over existing backstepping controllers are analyzed theoretically and verified using numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":222828,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Emerging Technologies, 2005.","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129037868","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}

The power frequency product poses a great challenge for designers in terms of semiconductor device selection and cost. Though power MOSFETs are the most popular choice, their lower current capacity and higher costs divert the attraction towards lower cost IGBT usage in modern day power electronic equipment, IGBT's being economical and having high current capacity, their use is limited by lower switching frequency. This paper presents a new topology that can enable designers to use IGBT's at higher frequencies while keeping the switching loss low.","PeriodicalId":222828,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Emerging Technologies, 2005.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129614031","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}
