Chattering reduction of sliding mode control by low‐pass filtering the control signal

The conventional approach to reducing control signal chattering in sliding mode control is to use the boundary layer design. However, when there is high‐level measurement noise, the boundary layer design becomes ineffective in chattering reduction. This paper, therefore, proposes a new design for chattering reduction by low‐pass filtering the control signal. The new design is non‐trivial since it requires estimation of the sliding variable via a disturbance estimator. The new sliding mode control has the same performance as the boundary layer design in noise‐free environments, and outperforms the boundary layer design in noisy environments.

Passive location of the nonlinear systems with fuzzy uncertainty

With the merits such as hiding receiving, easy-deploying and high security, passive location has attracted more and more attention and plays an important role in fields as diverse as navigation, location, and tracking, etc. However, the current filters models for passive location methods are most under the framework of the probability theory, thus they can not estimate the state in some passive location with fuzzy uncertainty accurately. Although the fuzzy extended Kalman filter (FEKF) can deal with the fuzzy uncertainty, it unavoidably introduces truncation error. In this paper, based on the FEKF and the iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF) principle, a new fuzzy passive location model is built, and moreover, an iterated fuzzy extended Kalman filter (IFEKF) is proposed for estimating the target state. Compared to the FEKF and the IEKF, the proposed algorithm can not only reduce the truncation error, but also deal with fuzzy uncertainty. Moreover, it is proved that the IFEKF update is an application of the Gauss–Newton method. Then, a fuzzy passive location algorithm is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach has better estimation precision than the traditional fuzzy extended Kalman filter.     

A simple photolithography method for microfluidic device fabrication using sunlight as UV source

A straightforward method for microfluidic devices fabrication using sunlight as the ultraviolet (UV) source is established in this work. This method is based on photolithography, but obviates the need for specialized UV exposure facility. Substrates coated with photoresist were placed directly under sun in a perpendicular direction to the sunlight for exposure. Exposure conditions were optimized for patterning features with different kinds of photoresist, photoresist of different thicknesses and dimensions. Exposure time can be adjusted to obtain designed features on a mask with good lateral structure according to the energy measured by UV meter (with a constant intensity of UV in sunlight). Masters produced under optimum exposure conditions were used for the fabrication of several microfluidic devices with different materials, structures, or functions. Resultant devices were shown eminently suitable for microfluidic applications such as electrophoretic separation, multiple gradient generator, and pneumatic valve-based cell culture. This photolithographic method is simple, low cost, easy to operate, and environmental friendly. Especially, the masters can be obtained in parallel simultaneously, which is suitable for chip fabrication for mass production. It is also more attractive for the laboratories, in which the support for photolithographic facility is not available.
