Informative conditions for a data set in a MIMO closed‐loop system with a switching controller

In system identification, a data set needs to be informativeto ensure that the identification criterion has a unique global minimum asymptotically, and the parameter estimation is consistent. To guarantee a data set in a MIMO closed‐loop system with a switching controller to be informative, we develop a group of flexible conditions for the controller's switching rule and feedback laws, which provide a trade‐off between these two aspects through adjustable parameters. Compared with the results in the existing literature, our result includes all kinds of switching rules and therefore is not limited by the constraints on the switching rule.Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Millimeter‐wave planar high gain SIW antenna using half elliptic radiation slots

This article reports a high gain millimeter‐wave substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna using low cost printed circuit board technology. The half elliptic slots which can provide small shunt admittance, low cross polarization level and low mutual coupling are etched on the board surface of SIW as radiation slots for large array application. Design procedure for analyzing the characteristics of proposed radiation slot, the beam‐forming structure and the array antenna are presented. As examples, an 8 × 8 and a 32 × 32 SIW slot array antennas are designed and verified by experiments. Good agreements between simulation and measured results are achieved, which shows the 8 × 8 SIW slot array antenna has a gain of 20.8 dBi at 42.5 GHz, the maximum sidelobe level of 42.5 GHz E‐plane and H‐plane radiation patterns are 22.3 dB and 22.1 dB, respectively. The 32 × 32 SIW slot array antenna has a maximum measured gain of 30.05 dBi at 42.5 GHz. At 42.3 GHz, the measured antenna has a gain of 29.6 dBi and a maximum sidelobe level of 19.89 dB and 15.0 dB for the E‐plane and H‐plane radiation patterns. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Output performance optimization for RTD fluxgate sensor based on dynamic permeability基于动态磁导率参数的时间差型磁通门传感器的输出响应优化

The output performance of residence times difference (RTD) fluxgate may vary under different driving conditions (driving currents and frequencies) and core materials. To optimize the RTD fluxgate and simplify its design process, an analytical model is employed to select the parameters and identify the effective factors that dominate the performance. The dynamic permeability parameters (P_i), which reflect the changes in the magnetization curve, are mathematically analyzed in detail. The linear variation functions of P_i in different driving conditions are fitted by using the dynamic arctangent hysteresis model. Consequently, the selection of driving conditions and core materials, which are assessed by comparing the experiment and simulation results, has an important role in achieving the optimal output performance of the RTD fluxgate.     

Haptics-equiped interactive PCI simulation for patient-specific surgery training and rehearsing针对特定病人的可交互经皮冠状动脉介入手术模拟

Despite the long history of medical simulations, suffering from the patient-specific heterogeneous heart physiological structure and complex intravascular procedures, it is still challenging for patient-specific percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) surgery simulation. In this paper, we advocate a haptics-equiped interactive prototype system towards PCI surgeons training and patient-specific surgery rehearsing, which can afford trainees the opportunity to approximately experience the entire PCI procedures and customized emergency cases that might occur in common clinical settings. The full simulation covers tissue deformation, catheter and wire simulation, X-ray simulation, haptic feedback, and 3D realistic rendering, which in all give rise to the integrated physical, visual, haptic, and procedural realism. Our system can accommodate various comprehensive operations involved in PCI-related procedures, including feeding wires, releasing stents, injecting contrast medium, simulating X-ray, bleeding, etc. Moreover, our system framework is fully built upon CUDA, and thus can achieve real-time performance even on a common desktop. The high-fidelity, real-time efficiency and stableness of our system show great potentials for its practical applications in clinical training fields.     

Quaternion-based robust trajectory tracking control for uncertain quadrotors

This paper presents a robust nonlinear controller design approach for uncertain quadrotors to implement trajectory tracking missions. The quaternion representation is applied to describe the rotational dynamics in order to avoid the singularity problem existing in the Euler angle representation. A nonlinear robust controller is proposed, which consists of an attitude controller to stabilize the rotational motions and a position controller to control translational motions. The quadrotor dynamics involves uncertainties such as parameter uncertainties, nonlinearities, and external disturbances and their effects on closed-loop control system can be guaranteed to be restrained. Simulation results on the quadrotor demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed control approach.     

基于气象大数据的台风强度预测统计模型研究

台风是一种破坏力极强的灾害性天气系统,做好台风路径和强度预报是防灾减灾的关键。除了气候性因子、台风持续性因子以及环境背景场因子,文章还考虑了在近海时,受陆地影响下,台风强度演变的情况,引入了新变量,即海陆比。将2000—2014年西北太平洋的所有台风样本分成海盆样本和近海样本,研究它们在12、24、36和48小时间隔的强度演变规律。本研究利用1°×1°美国国家环境预报中心/美国国家大气研究中心提供的 FNL全球再分析资料(Final Operational Global Analysis)数据,采用逐步回归和主成分分析法的多元统计回归模型预测台风强度,并比较了两种模型在台风强度预测上的表现。综合深海盆和近海台风强度的预测结果可以看出,文章提供的近海台风强度预报方法,比国内外的其他研究更具有防台减灾的实际应用价值。

河道烧录算法提取出断裂河网的必要条件探究

河道烧录算法是比较常用的基于实际河网修正提取模拟河网的方法。该方法能有效地提取出同实际河网高相似度的模拟河网。然而,在某些情况下,所提取的河网会产生"断裂"现象。深入研究发现,出现"断裂"的必要条件是:(1)实际河网栅格中存在全局高估栅格;(2)实际河网源头栅格正好位于DEM有效数据边界上。在实际应用中,只要消除两个条件中的任何一个,即可有效地避免提取出"断裂"的模拟河网。     

渭河干流关中段季节性水环境容量研究

针对季节性河流流量具有周期性变化的特点,采用季节性污水排放计划(SDP)的季节划分方法,提出季节性河流水环境容量计算方法。以渭河干流关中段为例,将一年划分为旱雨两季,利用一维水质模型计算8个季节划分方案和1个对照方案在50%、75%和90%保证率下的水环境容量。研究结果表明:在相同保证率下,分季节计算的渭河干流关中段COD和NH3-N环境容量分别是传统环境容量计算方法的1.17~1.59倍和1.25~1.79倍,表明分季节计算的河流水环境容量明显大于以年为单位计算的河流水环境容量。
