Optimal controller location in wireless networked control systems

The control performance of wireless networked control systems (WNCS) has been shown to heavily depend on the packet delivery quality of both the sensor‐to‐controller and controller‐to‐actuator communications. Such quality relies on the relative distance between the wireless transmitter and receiver, which naturally raises the challenging problem of controller placement in WNCS for optimal control performance. In this paper, we investigate the optimal controller location (OCL) problem in WNCS based on linear‐quadratic‐Gaussian control strategy. For the one‐hop network case where the controller can only be placed at either the sensor side or the actuator side, we derive a simple yet effective criterion to determine the OCL. For the more general multi‐hop case where the controller can be located at either one of the sensors, relays, or actuators, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition under which the closed‐loop system is guaranteed to be stable. On the basis of these results, we further transform the OCL problem into an optimization problem that can be solved efficiently. Numerical results are provided to verify our analysis.

Design of a novel static-triggered power-rail ESD clamp circuit in a 65-nm CMOS process基于65纳米CMOS工艺的静态触发型电源钳位ESD保护电路设计

This work presents the design of a novel static-triggered power-rail electrostatic discharge (ESD) clamp circuit. The superior transient-noise immunity of the static ESD detection mechanism over the transient one is firstly discussed. Based on the discussion, a novel power-rail ESD clamp circuit utilizing the static ESD detection mechanism is proposed. By skillfully incorporating a thyristor delay stage into the trigger circuit (TC), the proposed circuit achieves the best ESD-conduction behavior while consuming the lowest leakage current (I_leak) at the normal bias voltage among all investigated circuits in this work. In addition, the proposed circuit achieves an excellent false-triggering immunity against fast power-up pulses. All investigated circuits are fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS process. Performance superiorities of the proposed circuit are fully verified by both simulation and test results. Moreover, the proposed circuit offers an efficient on-chip ESD protection scheme considering the worst discharge case in the utilized process.

Adaptive mode decision for multiview video coding based on macroblock position constraint model

Multiview video coding (MVC) exploits mode decision, motion estimation and disparity estimation to achieve high compression ratio, which results in an extensive computational complexity. This paper presents an efficient mode decision approach for MVC using a macroblock (MB) position constraint model (MPCM). The proposed approach reduces the number of candidate modes by utilizing the mode correlation and rate distortion cost (RD cost) in the previously encoded frames/views. Specifically, the mode correlations both in the temporal-spatial domain and the inter-view are modeled with MPCM. Then, MPCM is exploited to select the optimal prediction direction for the current encoding MB. Finally, the inter mode is early determined in the optimal prediction direction. Experimental results show that the proposed method can save 86.03 % of encoding time compared with the exhaustive mode decision used in the reference software of joint multiview video coding, with only 0.077 dB loss in Bjontegaard delta peak signal-to-noise ratio (BDPSNR) and 2.29 % increment of the total Bjontegaard delta bit rate (BDBR), which is superior to the performances of state-of-the-art approaches.     

Adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode velocity control for the cutting system of a trench cutter

This paper presents a velocity controller for the cutting system of a trench cutter (TC). The cutting velocity of a cutting system is affected by the unknown load characteristics of rock and soil. In addition, geological conditions vary with time. Due to the complex load characteristics of rock and soil, the cutting load torque of a cutter is related to the geological conditions and the feeding velocity of the cutter. Moreover, a cutter’s dynamic model is subjected to uncertainties with unknown effects on its function. In this study, to deal with the particular characteristics of a cutting system, a novel adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode control (AFISMC) is designed for controlling cutting velocity. The model combines the robust characteristics of an integral sliding mode controller with the adaptive adjusting characteristics of an adaptive fuzzy controller. The AFISMC cutting velocity controller is synthesized using the backstepping technique. The stability of the whole system including the fuzzy inference system, integral sliding mode controller, and the cutting system is proven using the Lyapunov theory. Experiments have been conducted on a TC test bench with the AFISMC under different operating conditions. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed AFISMC cutting velocity controller gives a superior and robust velocity tracking performance.
