Design of a mechanism for biaxial rotation of a wing for a hovering vehicle

This paper presents a novel mechanism to actuate the wings of a hovering micro air vehicle (MAV). The mechanism uses a single actuator, but each wing can rotate about two orthogonal axes. The goal of this work is to design a light-weight compact mechanism that flaps the wings, inspired from the wing motion of hummingbird and hovering insects, to generate enough lift for the vehicle to hover. This paper explains in detail the proposed mechanism and its working prototypes. Also, the paper presents a dynamic simulation of the mechanism. The proposed dynamic simulation is used to predict the theoretical lift of the ornithopter. Further, the theoretical model is supported by actual experimental data collected from the prototype. The experimental data shows that the vehicle has the potential to develop enough lift to hover.     

An adaptive technique for determining a reduced model for a system

A reduced or sparse system model is discussed that will contain only the most significant components, as opposed to a complete finite impulse response (FIR) model which may not be very accurate with the requirement of only a few components. The technique presented uses an adaptive delay filter to provide the sparse model and compares it to the model obtained with the standard adaptive filter     

Interleaving and decoding scheme for a product code for a mobiledata communication

We propose a new ordered decoding scheme for a product code for mobile data communications. The ordered decoding scheme determines the order of decoding for both row and column component codewords according to the probability of decoding the component codeword correctly. Component codewords are decoded independently. To randomize burst errors in both row and column codewords, a diagonal interleaving scheme is used for code symbols in the codeword. It is shown that the ordered decoding scheme combined with diagonal interleaving improves the performance of a product code with reasonably long code length for mobile data communications

DRIFS-TDMA: a proposal for a satellite access distributed-control algorithm for multimedia traffic in a faded environment

Most demand assignment time division multiple access (TDMA) satellite access protocols use centralized-control access schemes, rather than distributed ones, because their simplicity and robustness usually compensates for the longer allocation delay. Starting from the fifo ordered demand assignment/information bit energy adapter (FODA/IBEA) centralized-control protocol, we studied two distributed-control protocols, named distributed allocation with request in fixed slots (DRIFS) and faded environments effective distributed engineering redundant signalling (FEEDERS) respectively, for accessing a geostationary satellite channel. Multimedia traffic and faded environments were considered in the study of both access schemes. This paper presents the DRIFS proposal, together with the recovery procedures from critical events, the handling of which is central to the discussion of a distributed satellite access protocol. Probabilities of such events are also estimated. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Proposal for a novel wiggler

A magnetostatic-field configuration that is independent of the axial (z) coordinate is presented. The motion of an electron in the xz plane in this magnetostatic field is determined. The velocities and the orbit of the electron are identical to those in the ordinary FEL (free electron laser) but with other expressions for the parameters ω₀ and a_ω. An expression for the wavelength of the radiation of the fundamental harmonic (λ_s) is derived. Some numeric examples of λ_s and a_ω are given, and it is concluded that the method presented is promising for obtaining high values of a_ω
