In the sparse mobile ad-hoc networks (SMANET), continuous end-to-end path between source and destination nodes, precedent condition of the traditional communication technology, may never exist. The disconnected or discontinuously connected networks and high link error rates pose a new set of challenges. The usual way to deal with this problem is to let the mobile computer wait for network reconnection passively, which may lead to unacceptable transmission delays. Although long range communication can be used to establish the link between nodes, it leads to rapid draining of nodes' limited batteries. In this paper, a kind of improved message relaying approach is proposed. Besides the function of route discovering, this approach is designed to realize data receiving and delivering (DRD) in networks with long delays. The data are stored and forwarded by the node chosen in the \"node-choosing\" procedure. With the help of the nodes' mobility, data can be relayed hop by hop from the source node (SN) to the destination node (DN). Consequently, the source node and the destination node can communicate to each other indirectly. It is believed that this scheme is useful for applications that require urgent message delivery and collect data in wild regions, such as emergency relief or field operations.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124833793","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 paper we present a multi-stage close-loop correction algorithm for reducing dynamic registration errors in AR system. The control law in this algorithm is based on 2D visual servoing or image-based camera control that allows control of a virtual camera to reduce registration error. The experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of this algorithm.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125030755","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 Multi-Pendulum System (MPS) is a typical nonlinear, multi-variable, strong-coupled and under-actuated, complex system. The study on a MPS has been a hotspot in the field of automation control. The successful application of HSIC in swing-up and handstand control on a DPS adequately testified the validity of HSIC theory.

Passivity analyses result in that the system can be decomposed into two passive subsystems: a mechanical subsystem that consists of the flexible beam with both ends free and an electrical subsystem that is comprised of electromagnets. An output feedback controller combined with velocity estimation by the extended Kalman filter for the mechanical subsystem computes desired force required to achieve position convergence and vibration suppression of the flexible beam. In a practical point of view, economic considerations restrict accurate measurements of both position and velocity of the supporting object while the control strategy requires accurate measurements of them. Thus, we employ the extended Kalman filtering technique in order to reject noise in the velocity signals at high sampling frequencies and/or micro-displacement vibrations. A feed forward controller that generates the desired force is designed for the electrical subsystem. Effectiveness of the proposed controller and velocity estimator is demonstrated by a numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130021677","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}

To solve these problems, we use the new 'Fill-Factor' concept.

Then the fault diagnosis model based on M-SVMs for transformer is established. At the same time, the fault diagnosis system based on M-SVMs for transformer is developed. The system can realize the acquisition of the dissolving gas in the transformer oil and data timely and low cost transmission by GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS). And it can identify out the transformer running state according to the acquisition data. The test results show that the method proposed has an excellent performance on correct ratio. And it can overcome the disadvantage of the traditional three-ratio method which lacks of fault coding and no fault types in the existent coding.

For fundamental considerations, we designed a one-degree-of-freedom model for the active seat suspension system. Then, we designed a disturbance cancellation control system that includes the observer for a two-degree-of-freedom model. In an actual driving test, a test road, in which the concavity and convexity of an actual road surface were simulated using hard rubber, was prepared and the control performance of vertical vibrations of the seat surface during driving was examined.

According to Membrane theories, we construct the geometrical parametric model of bioprosthetic heart valve to achieve the efficiency of the natural heart valves of human. Combining traditional design theories and modern design methods, we create the paraboloid, spherical curved surfaces in accordance with the geometrical equations in the appropriate frame ordinal. Based on the stress analysis of two kinds of curved surfaces, we take turns to create relative inverse conic curved surfaces which satisfy the actual condition. Meanwhile, the space positions of boundary curves and important points are determined by the intersected curves and axis of revolution. Geometrical design and the Finite Element analysis could provide direct and useful information for the bioprosthetic-heart-valve designer.The experimental result of the finite element analysis reveal that the force distribution of sphere valves leaflets is comparatively reasonable. We also find that paraboloid valves leaflets have such obvious features of stress concentration and non-uniform force distribution. Therefore, mechanical properties of spherical valves leaflets are superior to those of paraboloid valves leaflets.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126591254","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}
