Based on the Lyapunov method, a sufficient condition for the existence of the smallest possible ball which bounds the reduced-order sliding mode dynamics, is first derived in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). A sliding mode controller is then synthesized to guarantee that system state trajectories are exponentially convergent to another ball with a prespecified convergence rate. A case study of the Pendubot is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":347974,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Control, Automation and Information Sciences (ICCAIS)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117185782","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 proposed method uses a branch and bound algorithm to solve the problem, using linear relaxation of the integer variables that represent future on-off states of the equipment. We conduct simulations based on real building data, which show that significant cost reduction can be obtained.","PeriodicalId":347974,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Control, Automation and Information Sciences (ICCAIS)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125534908","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 plant-wide control is facilitated by the constructive method of online stabilisations that is applicable to the model predictive controllers (MPC) as receding-horizon stability constraints. The plant-wide process is modeled as a large-scale system formed by the subsystems of different unit operations interconnected to each other. The stability condition for the interconnected system is derived from the asymptotically positive realness constraint (APRC), which is subsequently developed into a receding-horizon stability constraint for MPC. The receding-horizon stability constraint is derived from the APRC by predicting the state and control vectors toward to the end of the predictive horizon. The receding horizon stability constraint is less conservative than the previously developed constraint that applied APRC to the current time step vectors. Simulations are provided for the counter-current washing circuit to demonstrate the efficacy of the presented receding-horizon stability constraint.","PeriodicalId":347974,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Control, Automation and Information Sciences (ICCAIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129441480","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}

Thanks to the experimental paradigm of sensory substitution, the blind people are able to “sense” the environment by one of these devices which are called Tongue-Placed Electrotactile Display (TED). It plays a key role as a man-machine interface that brings the environment information to the brain in place of the deceased sense organ. In this paper, a proposed design of the TED which is located within the human mouth is introduced. Then the performance of the TED is validated via tests with ordinary people at the safety intensity of electrical voltage and current. The results show that such device can totally function inside the mouth and can be a potential wearable aid device. This research shows a promise of a new prosthetic which may result in the improvement in the living quality for the disabled community.","PeriodicalId":347974,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Control, Automation and Information Sciences (ICCAIS)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130216904","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 low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scenarios, the poor detection probability and large number of false observations can greatly degrade the tracking performance.

In this paper we present a labeled random finite set solution to the multi-target TBD problem. To the best of our knowledge this is the first provably Bayes optimal approach to multi-target tracking using image data.
