It is proposed that for each fault, a single generator of the power system can be identified which determines the loss of stability of the entire system. It is further proposed that the energy balance between this particular generator and the rest of the system is a valid measure of power-system transient stability or instability. The test system utilized in this research consists of 17 generators and 163 buses.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.

Since each of the FPS T-20 nodes is a vector processor, algorithms which have a natural vectorization are easier to implement. Morphological image-processing algorithms can be decomposed into the elementary morphological operations of dilation and erosion which, for binary representations of the images, can be realized as vector shifts and vector AND/ORs. Several decompositions of tasks for load balancing are discussed, including different masks for different nodes, different structuring elements, and different intensity thresholds. The tradeoffs between computational costs and communication costs for each decomposition are of particular interest.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.

The mechanical and control aspects of this class of gripper are discussed briefly. It is found that the impact of zero- or microgravity necessitates rethinking of the underlying principles of grasping, manipulating and autochanging of end-effectors. The fundamental differences of this class of grippers from the familiar cases are the requirement for a positive grasp as opposed to frictional grasp, the requirement of a bearing surface on the fingers in place of friction pads, and the requirement for the integration of a screwdriver with the end-effector. The control problems are influenced greatly by the nonavailability of compliance from the object and fixtures.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.

Kane's method leads to fewer arithmetic operations than are required when either of the other two approaches are used.

In this technique, a set of geographically distributed sensors supplies their local observations of the state of a target in clutter to nearby local processors for local processing. Each processor communicates the results of its estimation algorithm to a coordinator which updates the target's track based on all the sensors' observation histories without having access to these observations. For local processing the local processor assumes local models which may be different from the coordinator's models of the distributed observations dynamics. To account for the uncertainties in the origin of the sensors' returns, the probabilistic data association technique is used.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345412,"journal":{"name":"[1988] Proceedings.
