For linear systems, the Hinfin controller is obtained either by solving Riccati equations using iterative procedures or by linear matrix inequalities. However, for nonlinear systems, the task is more complicated. In the particular case of nonlinear affine-input systems, the solution of the Hinfin control problem is derived from the Hamilton-Jacobi Equations (HJE). The exact explicit solutions of this type of equations are, in general, unknown or hard to compute. Approximate solutions are obtained from an iterative procedure. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear matrix inequalities approach to design a nonlinear Hinfin controller. Simulations of the closed-loop synchronous motors responses for both nonlinear and linear Hinfin controllers will be performed and compared. It is found that the nonlinear Hinfin controller has better performances and robustness than the linear controller.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"20 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":"124581647","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}

Although nanotechnology is still under development, several sensors can be already realized showing decisive advantages compared with nowadays sensors for several measured quantities.Three different categories of CNT based sensors are reported: analytical sensors which are based on the interaction of CNTs with ions and molecules, mechanical sensors which are based on the piezoresistivity of CNTs and optical sensors which profit from the high absorption rates of CNT and their unique optical properties.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"67 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":"114821834","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}

It proposes a simplified overlaid star network architecture that is deployable as a MAN or WAN network. This overlaid architecture, as opposed to general mesh architecture, scales network capacity to multiples of Peta bits per second, simplifies routing, increases reliability, eliminates wavelength conversion and the need for accurate traffic engineering.

Fusion in remote sensing has one goal which is to combine different images obtained by different sensors in one image or in different images in order to improve the content and the resolution of these images. In this research, a new fusion method is implemented to improve the segmentation process. This method combines the results of different image segmentation methods or combines the results of the same image segmentation method. The new fusion method consists of a genetic algorithm (ga) to combine each two segmented images based on the stability factor which is measured by the functional model (FM). Experiments conducted on SPOT V, and Landsat 7 ETM+ images proved that this method can provide better results compared to the results obtained from using two different segmentation methods. Two methods ate used in these experiments, self-organizing map and hybrid dynamic genetic algorithm cooperation method (SOM-HGA) and the Iterative Self-Organizing Data (ISODATA) method.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"18 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":"127444628","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 first part of this study presents the simulation results of the dynamic behavior of the robot in the presence of external disturbances. During the simulation, this study enabled us to determine on-line the required movements and accelerations of the trunk parts necessary to maintain the stability of the robot.

In fact, the existing models well reproduce propeller thrust and torque, but only at low dynamics. In practice, the rate of change of propeller rotational speed is then limited by the thruster controllers to avoid unmodeled phenomena. Otherwise important tracking error can occur during transient responses. In both cases, the dynamic performances of the whole controlled system are limited. To avoid this difficulty, we propose a dynamic model for marine propeller based on a frequency domain approach using a Wiener-Hammerstein model. The identification is carried out using a harmonic study of the asymptotic response of the model to a sinusoidally varying input. Simulations and experiments are performed to evaluate the performances of the proposed model.","PeriodicalId":267264,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"15 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":"114083473","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}
