It presents comparison of two classes of models for fault detection, namely those using a Mean Value EngineModel (MVEM) involving variables averaged over cycles andWithin Cycle Crank-angle-based Model (WCCM) involving instantaneous values of variables changing with crank angle. Numerical simulation results of intake manifold leak and mass air flow sensor gain faults, obtained using the industry standard software called AMESimTM, have been used to demonstrate the fault detection capabilities of individual approaches. Based on these results it is clear that the method using WCCM has a higher fault detection sensitivity compared to one that uses MVEM, albeit at the expense of increased computational and modeling complexity.","PeriodicalId":386046,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127568876","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}

These tools provide an excellent abstraction from a system's dynamics, allowing a user to animate a robot without considering dynamic complexities, including coupling, instability, and uncontrollable subspaces. The animator focuses on the more relevant ideas of expression and communication. The trajectory optimization bridges the gap between animator and robot, automatically projecting trajectories into the system's reachable set and determining the necessary inputs to the system. These techniques handle closed kinematic chains, constraints, and unstable systems without modification. We give a detailed overview of the optimization technique and present an example from the autonomous marionette project. A waving motion is animated for a two-dimensional arm and the corresponding dynamically-feasible trajectory is found for an under-actuated marionette arm. The trajectory is tested on robotic marionette platform and correctly approximates the original waving animation. The marionette arm is an excellent test bed because it is under-actuated, highly nonlinear, and highly coupled.","PeriodicalId":386046,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121078833","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 dynamic multiple fault diagnosis (DMFD) problem is to determine the most likely evolution of fault states, the one that best explains the observed test outcomes over time. In our previous research work [1], we have shown that the problem of diagnosing dynamic multiple faults in the presence of imperfect test outcomes, is an NP-hard problem. Here, we combine a Gauss-Seidel coordinate ascent optimization method with a Soft Viterbi decoding algorithm for solving the DMFD problem. We demonstrated the algorithm on small-scale and medium-scale systems and the simulation results shows that this approach improves primal function value (1.4%∼8.3%) and correct isolation rate (1.7%∼11.4%) as compared to a Lagrangian relaxation method discussed in our previous work [1].","PeriodicalId":386046,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123283811","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}

These information objects, both engineering and business, are represented using information standards. These standards are used to exchange information about engineering and business systems for enterprise level interoperability. One of the main problems of designers, engineers and process modelers is the selection of appropriate standards for interoperability. To ensure enterprise level interoperability, it is absolutely critical that information standards are compared and harmonized as there are overlapping and dissimilar standards available. In this paper, we will sketch a method towards comparing and harmonizing standards based on: 1) informal approach, 2) typology of standards, 3) use-case scenarios, and 4) ontologies. The method is explained using some engineering and business standards.","PeriodicalId":386046,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115366471","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}

General anesthesia with propofol is considered. The proposal tries to take advantage of the benefits of model-based controllers to improve the performance of control in anesthesia. The controller proposed is based on the application of two control actions. First, a nominal term is applied obtained from the inverse dynamics model. This action is corrected by adding a second term that compensates modeling errors, disturbances, etc. To compute the correction, a linearization of the model is considered around the nominal state and optimization is performed to compute the control action. Several results obtained in simulation are presented to test the efficiency of the method.","PeriodicalId":386046,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"176 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115049403","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}

A manufacturing network is constituted by a set of plants serving a set of markets with a set of products. It is specified in terms of a product portfolio for each market and a product portfolio, resource capacities and a set of markets to serve, for each plant. Based on this definition, we address the following question: Given a manufacturing network, determine when to change the manufacturing capacity, where to change it and by how much to change it. Our approach is to devise a plan that is robust with respect to certain perturbations in demand forecasts, rather than one that is optimal with respect to the inherent uncertainty in demand. Thus the idea we follow is to superimpose perturbations on demand forecasts used by decision-makers, and devise a plan that can withstand those variations. Representing manufacturing capacity through the notion of operating configurations, we formulate dynamic optimization models to address the problem.","PeriodicalId":386046,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130658036","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}
