Such a mixed implementation leads to a more effective control design with improved system performance and robustness. The main objective of integrating neural networks is to overcome the problems with uncertainties in the plant parameters and structure encountered in the analytical model-based design. Shunt DC motor is characterized by complex nonlinear and time-varying dynamics and inaccessibility of some model parameters for on line measurements, and hence can be considered as an important challenging engineering topic. The input-state feedback linearization technique is known for its good results locally in a neighborhood of an operating point. However, these results are sensitive to model parameter variations and so performances may deteriorate. Neural network-based controllers are considered as candidates for this parameters sensitivity. In a first step, an algorithm for analytical exact input-state linearizing control is formulated. The following step is dedicated to the robust neural feedback controller design. A simulation study of these methods is presented. The effectiveness of the neural controller with respect to the analytical one is demonstrated for a large armature resistance variation.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128503437","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 rapid and random movement of ionospheric causes the oscillation of the phase. It could be viewed as the Doppler shift of high-frequency carrier caused by ionospheric. The shift of frequency should be corrected because it brings difficulty in recovering the carrier. The non-blind method needs much quantities of training (or pilot frequency) sequences at the cost of system recourse (bandwidth). However, the blind estimation will wildly encounter the vague phase. In this paper, a semi-blind parameter estimation method is introduced which uses few training sequences to distinguish the carrier. In this way, the carrierpsilas phase and timing parameter could be recovered rapidly. Besides, this algorithm is easy to implement in hardware platform.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"195 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114111060","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 design is based on a discrete state space model obtained by expressing current and voltage at the beginning of the (n+1)th period in terms of values of the preceding period. It is shown that the describing model is nonlinear, therefore it is expected that a standard linear controller (e.g. PID) would not be efficient. In this work, we suggest four controllers which are simple to construct. The investigation of their performance is based on linear analysis. The controllers are designed step-by-step where each next controller improves the action of the previous one. The first controller (CI) is found to be the simplest that can lead to a linear closed loop system, hence it can be considered as a simple input-to-state linearizing controller. With the application of CI we can only obtain a correct reference current but the voltage remains uncontrollable. The second controller (C2) is the classic proportional controller. Although, it has remedied the problem of voltage controlling, it resulted in a constant static error of the current. After analyzing the first two controllers, a third controller (C3) is designed to achieve the correct reference values. The only drawback of C3 was the slow convergence of the current to the desired value. The fourth controller (C4) has been finally suggested to circumvent all the crossed drawbacks of the preceding controllers. The efficiency of C4 is shown using numerical simulations. The application onto a real circuit is being carried and results will be published in a future work.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125158621","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}

This paper presents an effective development process for a distributed workflow management system (WKFMS) which is utilized to automate the management processes related to computer and peripheral repair requests in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) at the University of Jordan. First, the paper explores the reasoning and motivation behind the choice of the management processes involved in the WKFMS. Phases of the development process that is based on the rapid prototyping paradigm are then described. Particular focus is given to the modeling of business scenarios using the Model-View-Control (MVC) architecture. The distributed network layout and system security measures are also investigated. Reduction of manual human intervention in the decision process is achieved through the implementation of a neuro-fuzzy computational intelligence processor to automate the major decision making process of tasks distribution. It is shown that the application of the proposed development process helped in reducing the overall system development time and effort. The successful deployment and functional testing of the developed industrial prototype has proved that it works smoothly according to the desired features.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"256 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114401612","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}

However, this solution can lead to a loss of the motion cyclicity in joints space. In this work, three methods are compared which ensure the conservation of the movement cyclicity. These latter are based respectively on the Lagrangian one (to improve selfmotion solution), a compliance function (to improve inverse jacobian solution) and the last is a combination of both methods. We consider the control of a redundant robot which carries out a trajectory tacking in operational space with the constraints due to the position and velocity limits of joints. Also, the proposed methods are tested in the case of the 3 DOF planar robots deduced from the PUMA 560. The obtained results show that the two methods alone can ensure the motion cyclicity meanwhile the combined method is more efficient.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124602327","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}
