Two control strategies are applied to the RIPS. One is a sliding mode control method using the parameterization of both the hyperplane and the compensator for output feedback. The other is a disturbance observer which estimates disturbance and some modelling errors of RIPS with less computational effort. Some simulations and various kinds of experiments are performed in order to verify that the proposed controller has the ability to control RIPS whose velocity is assumed to be unavailable. The results of the simulations and experiments show that the proposed control system has superior performance for disturbance rejection and regulation at certain initial conditions as well as the robustness to model uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":415046,"journal":{"name":"SICE 2001.

The proposed method tries to ease the process of man-machine interaction by combining the theoretical understanding of artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic. Both fields are very popular to mimic the human behavior in different research areas in artificial intelligence. The proposed system tries to understand the natural language command rather than mere recognition. The distinctive features of the artificial neural networks in pattern recognition and classification and the abilities of manipulating imprecise data by fuzzy systems are merged to recognize the machine sensitive words in the natural language command and then to interpret them to machine in machine identifiable manner. Modularity of the design tries to break up the complete task into manageable parts where the presence of individual part is vital to bridge the so-called man-machine gap.","PeriodicalId":415046,"journal":{"name":"SICE 2001.

In this system voice communication is realized using a computer, with a cellular phone attached via modem and sound cards. Because the process of speech recognition depends on received sound quality, a comparison of voice commands transmitted via different cellular phones was performed.

The paper describes a prototype of a new cross correlation method using a pulse heating marking signal based on the past proceedings. The steady state heat transfer type is improved to +-0.8% full scale in the paper and it is the most available for the new process till the third oil crisis or reconstruction of coke.

The transfer function and the characteristic polynomial should, therefore, be expressed by interval polynomials whether the input-output signals are continuous or discrete time. The paper examines the robust performance of that type of control system, based on the existing area of characteristic roots. In particular, a sufficient condition for the roots area which is enclosed by a specified circle on an s-plane is given by applying the classic Sturm theorem (division algorithm) to the four corners of a segment polynomial. The result that is obtained by finite calculations in regard to the coefficients of the segment polynomial, can be extended to general interval polynomials with multiple uncertain parameters.","PeriodicalId":415046,"journal":{"name":"SICE 2001.

We propose an X-ray DT system consisting of a scanning X-ray tube, an image intensifier, a rotating prism and a CCD camera. System parameters such as geometric magnification and X-ray projection angle can be the main factors to be considered to design the system. In achieving larger magnification and production angle together, there are restrictions due to geometric limitations. The parametric relations are investigated based on a numerical model of the system. A method to correct distorted images in intensity and shape as well is proposed. It uses a polynomial model from a known reference grid pattern. It uses a self-organizing feature mapping (SOFM) network. As an application, a series of experimental images of PCB boards is considered.","PeriodicalId":415046,"journal":{"name":"SICE 2001. Proceedings of the 40th SICE Annual Conference.
