Those control methods are simple without using the state equation of system and internal model principle, but its tracking performance is even better. Among those new controls, The ST-ER control and ST-ER-DE control are designed to control different kinds of precise linear systems to yield high tracking speed and low overshoot. GAST-ER control and GAST-ER-DE control respectively, base on ST-ER control and ST-ER-DE control are robust control methods which can track different kinds linear systems or approach linear systems with high tracking speed and almost no overshoot even when there is little or no information available regarding plant dynamics. In this paper, some simulation examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of those controls. Besides, The GAST-ER-DE control is applied to the micromirror plant without knowing its model and the experiment results are successful.

The nanopositioner uses three pairs of modified differential lever displacement amplifiers (MDLDA) instead of the traditional lever amplifier to enhance the mechanism workspace. At the same time, the mechanism uses piezoelectric actuator that are characterized by large stroke, high resolution and easy to control as the driving component. Flexible amplifiers connected to the moving platform through the cylinder hinge with a special way, which makes the mechanism behave a compact structure and good mechanical properties. After a series of mechanism optimal designs, the performance of the designed nanopositioner is verified by using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. The experimental results indicate that the mechanism displacement amplification ratio can reach up to 7.1, thus the maximum output displacement can achieve around 0.71 mm and the amplification ratio won't influenced by the input stress or input displacement variations.

In the conventional method, the phase delay appears as a phase error in the phase-locked loop (PLL) of the drive-mode oscillation control. A detailed theoretical analysis derives an analytical equation of the IQ coupling about the phase error. Then, a one-time frequency sweep (OTFS) procedure, which acts as an in-situation network analyzer, is proposed to compensate for the phase error by automatically modifying the reference value of the PLL control. Further, the OTFS method is tested using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) based digital platform on a vibratory micro-machined gyroscope. Experimental results demonstrate that the OTFS method effectively eliminates the unwanted IQ coupling, and the tested gyroscope exhibits a bias instability of 0.75 °hr and an angle random walk (ARW) of 0.06 °/hr at atmosphere.","PeriodicalId":273846,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132156689","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}

After that Ag+ ions were in situ reduced to form Ag nanoparticles. The synthesized sample was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer. As a result Ag nanoparticles encapsulation has been identified. SERS performance was evaluated by Rhodamine 6G and benzoic acid solutions, and obvious Raman enhancement was obtained. The enhancement effect was revealed to be superior to similar substrates, Ag-coated porous and nonporous microsphere prepared via silver mirror reaction. Response of Ag-capsulated PGM and large Ag-coated NPGM to Hg2+ were demonstrated.
