It is found through the simulation that when a data far from the current result is added, the outcome would has a larger mean shift, thus making the forecast worse than expected. I in order to let the model prediction results be closer to the operator's habits, an adaptive fuzzy K-means algorithm combined with multiple sets of rules are designed with the membership functions of trapezoidal, triangular, Gaussian, and generalized bell. Since the users’ habits change dynamically, this paper makes the fuzzy rules adaptive and strengthens the model through design changes of the fuzzy rules. The numerical result of the adaptive fuzzy K-means algorithm is satisfactory since the use of four different membership functions of trapezoidal, triangular, Gaussian and generalized bell can result in the similar output results after the proper parameter adjustments. Finally, with the Arduino Mega 2560 development board and the commercially available actuator modules, and the Hall sensor signal used as the position feedback, a medical bed with three multi-axial actuators is built and then adopted to verify the applicability of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":442344,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Its Applications (iFUZZY)","volume":"242 25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116969192","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}

As the fabrication techniques' advances, the shrinkage limitations maybe hit in the following decade(s). The Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistor (GAA-FET) is an important device which can extend the Moore’s law by overcoming technical deficiencies of the fabrication techniques as well as improve the device performance. From the aspect of patent landscaping, acquiring techniques of GAA-FET is very important for the development and provision of the next generation of technology for logic products. Albeit important, very few works discussed the patent analysis, landscaping, and roadmapping of techniques for GAA-FET. To cross the research gap, this work will propose a novel technology roadmapping framework based on the patent mining techniques as well as algorithms for solving the fuzzy knapsack and the fuzzy competence set expansion problems. At first, related U.S. patents will be retrieved. Then, an algorithm to resolve the Fuzzy Knapsack Problem (FKP) is used to select the most appropriate GAA-FET techniques to design around. After that, an algorithm for the fuzzy competence set expansion is adopted to design a minimum spanning tree (MST). The MST can serve as the basis for developing a technology roadmap for developing GAA-FET techniques for late coming semiconductor foundries. The empirical study derived a patent portfolio consisting of 12 techniques related to the GAA-FET. The derived patent portfolio as well as the MST can serve as the basis for defining design-around strategies and technology roadmaps by fast catching-up semiconductor foundries.","PeriodicalId":442344,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Its Applications (iFUZZY)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128794114","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}

Many modulation methods are proposed to solve the aforementioned problem. This paper adopts the dual phase shift (DPS) with a minimum peak current control algorithm to reduce the conduction and switching loss. Eventually, a 10 kW DC-DC converter is implemented with a digital controller and has been evaluated. The output voltage range of this converter is from 400 V to 500 V and input voltage is 750 V. According to the test result, the peak efficiency is up to 97.6% when the output voltage is 500 V, 60% load, moreover, when converter operating at 400 V output voltage and 10% load, the efficiency is 94%.","PeriodicalId":442344,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Its Applications (iFUZZY)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114959101","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}

Hiding secret data in multimedia is one of the emerging techniques in this research area. By leveraging the popularity of JPEG image format, we propose a data hiding scheme for JPEG compressed images. Several researches have been proposed to hide secret message in the AC coefficients of JPEG codes. However, they restricted the target of embedding to several predefined values of coefficients in order to preserve the file size or improve visual quality of the stego-image. In this paper, we propose a new data hiding scheme based on an ordered shifting of the AC coefficients. With no restriction imposed on the target value, a large amount of data can be embedded without compromising the imperceptibility and increasing the file size significantly. The proposed scheme is compared with the related works in terms of the hiding capacity, the visual quality, and the increase of file size.

Localization is a frequently discussed topic in mobile robotics research. Before a robot can start a task, it must know its current location on a map. The system proposed in this paper scans the obstacles and terrain around the robot by LiDAR to obtain a map of the environment and then uses the image recognition algorithm proposed in this paper to achieve the robot’s location. This system can be applied to frontline medical robots, which can disinfect the environment or deliver medication, especially in the case of the COVID-19 epidemic, to help healthcare workers. The proposed localization algorithm is different from the traditional Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization (AMCL), which uses a 2D LiDAR sensor with image recognition to complete the localization. By using a modified template matching technique, the local map is compared with the known global map to deduce the robot’s position, which is more accurate than AMCL. In this study, an indoor environment is created using Gazebo 3D environment simulation software, and a robot with a 2D LiDAR sensor is used in this environment to conduct the experiment. We designed three scenarios to validate the proposed algorithm, one with simple terrain, the second scene will appear throughout the map with other scenes of similar terrain, and the third with long straight lines. The results show that this method is feasible.","PeriodicalId":442344,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Its Applications (iFUZZY)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115318397","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, two new attempts are achieved from real UAV control points of view. The first attempt is to consider a real control input constraint but not the kinematic model input constraint that is considered in most cases. This paper realizes it by investigating the relationship between the yaw angular velocity in a kinematics model and the steering angle of the real direction bar. The second attempt is to describe the PPG model considering the above relationship by a new type of T-S fuzzy models with a residual term and to propose a new type of fuzzy controllers with a cancellation term for the residual term. By the cancellation via the T-S fuzzy controller, the overall feedback system is reduced to the ordinary T-S fuzzy control system. As a result, we simply apply an LMI-based design framework to the T-S fuzzy model with the residual term. Finally, this paper demonstrates the utility of the proposed approach through flight control simulations for complicated paths.","PeriodicalId":442344,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Fuzzy Theory and Its Applications (iFUZZY)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129577293","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}
