An appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii function is considered for solving this problem, and obtains considerably less conservative results than existing methods. The proposed approach constructs a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional using two additive delay components, and no free weighting matrices are employed in the theoretical result derivation. This reduces the number of scalar decision variables in linear matrix inequalities. The fuzzy state feedback gain is derived through the numerical solution of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and to allow comparison with previous works.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"71-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45903655","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 is suggested that the novel phosphor silicone layer (PSL), which added silica particles, can improve CCT and illumination uniformity. Using the commercial simulation program LightTools, based on Monte Carlo method, the novel PSL demonstrated a reduction of the CCT deviation (DCCT) to 1719 K from 2211 K, while the illuminance uniformity increased from 0.328 to 0.353. The simulation results could be totally convinced by Mie theory. This results point towards an approach for manufacturing high-quality MCW-LEDs.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"79-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46244196","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 this paper, vibration analysis is used to conduct fault diagnosis of a bearing. Vibration signal noise was eliminated using hard thresholding wavelet analysis. The best mother wavelet for the denoising process was selected using the minimum Shannon entropy criterion. Statistical parameters and other signal properties such as energy and entropy are powerful tools for analyzing vibration signals. These features were calculated in the time and wavelet domains and applied to Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as the feature vector to classify the condition of a bearing into one healthy and three faulty conditions. The ANN parameters were separately optimized using three optimization algorithms. The comparison of the results shows that if the ANN parameters are properly optimized, the statistical parameters in the time-frequency domain can optimize accuracy.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"61-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46580820","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 silicon-based suspended structures were electrically isolated using supported parylene beams. The parylene beams provide electrical isolation between the suspended structure and substrate, and prevent anchor movement during actuation and wire-bonding. The proposed process is a simple low-temperature, dry-etching and reliable fabrication method for structure creation and electrical isolation and does not require wet-release, LPCVD, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), ion implantation, sputtering process, or sandwiched oxide/polysilicon/metal isolation. The parylene beams were created by performing multiple steps of parylene deposition and removal inside a silicon mold. The trench etching, polymer deposition for sidewall protection, floor polymer removal, structure release, and polymer stripping steps were completed by modifying the etching or passivation steps of the Bosch process. These steps can be integrated into a single-run ICP process controlled by macro commands; the ICP etcher can automatically complete suspended structure creation in a single run. A test device with a thickness of 50 m and a maximum trench aspect ratio of 10 was created to demonstrate process feasibility. The proposed process can be used for sensors and actuators, requiring a considerable device thickness to enhance sensitivity and performance. The test device is a comb-drive like device used to check the electrical isolation for sensor and actuator. Design, simulation, and fabrication considerations are discussed.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"7-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47270072","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}
