- - “Partial” versions of some of these control problems: The control objective only concerns a finite number of (and not necessarily all) the first Markov parameters of the transfer function matrix of the controlled system (e.g. to be zero for disturbance rejection or model matching, to be diagonal for non-interaction). Some interesting new issues in the dual context of failure detection are also sketched.
- Generalised solutions: Based on proportional and derivative feedback laws, with new issues in the context of systems with variable internal structures, and also for systems with delays.
Geometric concepts, such as invariant and almost invariant subspaces, and algebraic counterparts, such as factorisations on some special rings, are intermediary tools which support the characterisations of those particular structures and which allow for a structural treatment of the considered control and/or observation problems.
The results are here presented without proof: references are given to previous published results (in most cases in books and journals which are easily available), and some simple examples are used to illustrate non-standard notions (among which systems with variable internal structure, and time domain left invertibility).
Most of the results here presented rely on long and intensive collaborations between the author and various colleagues. 相似文献
1. Two discrete timed automata W (the “writer”) and R (“the reader”).
2. One unrestricted queue that can be used to send messages from W to R. There is no bound on the length of the queue.
W and R do not share a global clock and operate in a loosely synchronous way. That is, the absolute value of the difference between the local time of W and the local time of R is always bounded by a positive constant. We show that the binary reachability for these systems is effectively computable, and this result is generalized to the case when there are two queues (one from W to R and the other from R to W) that operate in half-duplex. We then present some properties (e.g., safety, invariance, etc.) that can be verified for loosely synchronous queue-connected discrete timed automata and give an example of a system composed of a sensor and a controller that is verifiable using our results. 相似文献
1. 1. Participate in the evaluation of proposed FMS systems,
2. 2. Assess the impact of FMS acquisition on existing facilities,
3. 3. Assist in the identification of operational alternatives in “bottle neck” situations.
The pilot study employs a batch-oriented MRP system to provide daily updates of outstanding production center loadings on a monthly planning horizon. Two intelligent terminals are used to access a mini computer facility that executes the simulation models. The terminals have AT-compatible capabilities and are also used as data acquisition devices that support the numerically controlled operations within each work center.
The simulation models represent the 13 work centers of the firm and provide information about the average utilization of each work center, the number of parts in each queue and the average delay of parts in the queues. Future extensions of the models are planned to utilize the terminals' graphic animation capabilities to display the flow of production orders through the manufacturing facility. 相似文献
• • The finite element method is used for qualitative comparison of different machine tool structure concepts during the conceptual and design stages. Only after completion of the prototype may the parameters of the prototype model be adjusted for the purpose of obtaining quantitative indicators.
• • Dynamics are analyzed by parameter identification of the oriented transfer function model. The dominant degree of freedom is naturally selected by experiment and not from hypotheses about the behavior of structures obtained from mathematical manipulations such as expansion of the model according to the finite element method. If necessary another machine tool structure may be modelled; in this way hypotheses are drawn about the stability of the reconstructed prototype.
Such a procedure has been applied and verified on the machine tool structure of a horizontal machining center. Results for static rigidity and dynamic stability have been obtained from the model and experiments performed on the prototype. The following techniques have been used:
• • finite element method for qualitative identification of static behavior,
• • self-excitation of the machine,
• • digital signal processing on the FFT basis,
• • smoothing of curves and digital filtration,
• • function fitting of the transfer function (modal analysis),
• • coefficient calculus and oriented transfer function,
• • stability assessment of the fitted model under different machining conditions, and
• • modelling of the regenerative machining effect by cutting.
Necessary tests have been done by instruments required for the use of the above techniques.
Such a combined static-dynamic criteria procedure for structuring a machine tool enables efficient follow-up of all results and facilitates necessary future expansion, the utilization of universal equipment, the combination of modelling and experiments, and the synthesis of simple models of the examined machine with behavior identical to the machine. The well-known machining system dynamic stability theories are applied to such models. 相似文献
In the underlying research and in this paper, the following questions need to be addressed:
• —How can the capability of a recently available data dictionary be enhanced with some knowledge-based modules?
• —What would be the architecture of such a system, based on the data dictionary of some CASE tools?
• —How can the informal and formal modelling approach information system design be combined?
• —What sort of knowledge-representation techniques would be suitable for the different tasks during the analysis and the design of the system?
The system outlined here would work as an intelligent assistant and workbench supporting the developer, but not as an automatic programming environment. 相似文献
The notion of interaction during learning is discussed at length and the results of tests are presented. Instead of the classical {machine learning system, environment} pair, we propose to study the {machine learning system, human operator, environment} triplet.
Experiments have been carried out in simulated scenarios and some original experiments with a force-feedback device are also described. 相似文献
These LSI circuits and system have several functions
• • The new Parcor LSI circuit has the circuits needed by the Parcor synthesis algorithm. It has a 64 kbit speech data ROM, output low pass filter and preamplifier. Using only this LSI circuit, 30 s to 60 s of speech can be synthesized.
• • The new ADM LSI circuit has encoding and decoding circuits, a 64 kbit speech data ROM and RAM control circuit. The record and synthesis system can be easily constructed with this LSI circuit and RAM.

In the Incentive System, quality of each chart is tested using 25 indicators, each of which have been assigned weights. The weights were developed using a software package called “Expert Choice”. A Double Sampling Plan is used to determine the size of the sample to be inspected for quality.
The speed requirements for the System were assessed via a survey conducted in the Coding section of the Medical Records Department to collect relevant information on each chart which included the financial class, length of stay (LOS) and time to code. This data was analyzed using a SAS package to identify any significant relations between the experience of the coder at GUH, LOS of patient/chart and time to code a chart for the two financial classes third party payors -- federal and non- Federal (Medicare & Medicaid and all others resp.) It was determined tat the time to code a chart varies with the LOS of the chart in each financial class and the experience of the coder at GUH.
An initial analysis identified a “pure” Incentive System--one in which the speed varied proportionately with operator's pay. However, it was decided to develop a hybrid plan. This plan would pay a coder 100% of base pay if the performance of the coder was within acceptable levels of the prescribed standards; 100% of base pay plus incentive pay if the performance was above prescribed standards and 100% of base pay with disciplinary action for performance below acceptable levels of standards
It is hoped that the proposed Incentive System will not only attract and retain qualified Coders to GUH, but also enhance the overall productivity of the Coding Section. A microcomputer based software package as been developed to accurately administer the Incentive System. 相似文献
A major theme of the proposed paper is the investigation of the combinatorial structure of the visibility graph. More importantly, the goals of this paper are:
1. (i) To characterize the visibility graphs of simple polygons by obtaining necessary and sufficient conditions a graph must satisfy to qualify for the visibility graph of a simple polygon
2. (ii) To obtain hierarchical relationships between visibility graphs of simple polygons of a given number of vertices by treating them as representing simple polygons that are deformations of one another.
3. (iii) To exploit the potential of complete graphs to be natural coordinate systems for addressing the problem of reconstructing a simple polygon from visibility graph.
We intend to achieve this by defining appropriate “betweenness” relationships on points with respect to the edges of the complete graphs. 相似文献
The paper describes an Adaptive Control Optimization (ACO) system for turning operations. The system continuously chooses Optimal Cutting Data (OCD), taking into account both economical criteria and technical limitations.
The system operates at three different levels:
• • Advanced Process Monitoring
• • Adaptive Control Constraint (ACC)
• • Adaptive Control Optimization (ACO).
Two commercial monitoring systems perform process monitoring. In addition, five independent measurement systems have been developed.
A dedicated vision system has been installed in the lathe to measure the tool flank wear between cuts. The flank wear data are utilized to predict the tool life. Based upon these predictions economical optimum cutting data can be calculated at the ACO level.
To obtain in-process real-time control of the metal cutting process the cutting forces are measured during machining. The forces are measured with conventional piezoelectric force transducers which are located between the turret housing and the cross-slide. The measured force signals are processed by a dedicated microcontroller at the ACC level and cutting data adjustments are fed back to the machine control.
A vibration measurement system, which either can be connected to an accelerometer or use the dynamic force signal from the piezoelectric force transducer, is part of a vibration control module at the ACC level. An ultra-fast signal processor performs the signal analysis.
The remaining two measurement systems—a high frequency tool signal analysis system and a power spectra analysis system—are mentioned in the paper but not further discussed.
Finally, the paper deals with how the strategies at the three different levels will be combined, in order to form an AC system. The monitoring tasks will always reside in the background and be activated if any failure occurs. The ACO subsystem will act as a path-finder and suggest cutting data. The active control tasks will, however, be carried out at the ACC level. 相似文献
• • Migration of the files to a DBMS
• • Extend the file system to support DBMS-like features
Both migration and extension of the file system are costly solutions and actually depend on existing capabilities of the components. Problems may occur when the federated schema becomes too large. The schema might be split up into smaller federated schemes (loosely coupled FBDS). 相似文献
The concepts of “informationally optimal class of algorithms” and “optimal algorithm” are formalized. For the multivariate case, the optimality of Newton iteration is established in the class of one-point iterations under an “equal cost assumption”. 相似文献
One approach to solving this problem is through the use of group technoogy. Group technology is the identification and grouping of similar parts and processes in order to take avantage of their similarities in the design and manufacturing process. Parts and processes can be grouped under a classification and implemented with a coding system. Concurrently, the number of parts and processes can be reduced by putting them in a “family.” This “family” has common characteristics such as shape, size, color, tolerance or production operations.
For handling and manipulation of this data, a computer system has been developed. The computer system would set up a reporting format that would classify, code and group the parts and processes, so the user can analyze if a previously designed process or part can be used in the current system and/or if a better layout can be feasible.
Many advantages such as reduced inventory cost, increased facility space and better utilization of manpower are but a few of the benefits from this system. 相似文献
- • a visual sensor called Optical Sensor for the Control of Autonomous Robots (OSCAR) which delivers a retinal angular position signal. A new, miniature (10 g), piezo-based version of this visual sensor is presented here;
• an inertial sensor which delivers an angular head velocity signal.
We built a miniature (30 g), one degree of freedom oculomotor mechanism equipped with a micro-rate gyro and the new version of the OSCAR visual sensor. The gaze controller involves a feedback control system based on the retinal position error measurement and a feedforward control system based on the angular head velocity measurement. The feedforward control system triggers a high-speed “Vestibulo-ocular reflex” that efficiently and rapidly compensates for any rotational disturbances of the head. We show that a fast rotational step perturbation (3° in 40 ms) applied to the head is almost completely (90%) rejected within a very short time (70 ms). Sinusoidal head perturbations are also rapidly compensated for, thus keeping the gaze stabilized on its target (an edge) within a 10 times smaller angular range than the perturbing head rotations, which were applied here at frequencies of up to 6 Hz in an amplitude range of up to 6°. This high standard of performance in terms of head rotational disturbance rejection is comparable to that afforded by the human vestibulo-oculomotor system. 相似文献
The parametric studies reveal a “sensitivity” to the “weak in shear”, Nx = Nxφ = 0, along the straight edges, SS1 boundary conditions type where the panel buckling loads are always smaller than those predicted for a complete “counter” cylinder. In the case of “classical”, SS3 B.Cs., there always exist values of panel width, 2φ0, for which ρ = 1, i.e. the panel buckling load equals that of the complete “counter” cylinder. For SS2 and SS4 B.Cs. types, the nature by which the panel critical load approaches that of the complete cylinder appears to be panel configuration dependent.
Utilization of panels for the experimental determination of a complete cylinder buckling load is found to be satisfactory for relatively very lightly and heavily stiffened panels, as well as for short panels, (L/R) = 0.2 and 0.5. Panels of moderate length and stiffening have to be debarred, since they lead to nonconservative buckling load predictions. 相似文献
