Motor noise generation and prediction for high spinning speed hard disk drive

The acoustic level of a hard disk drive is an important specification. This is especially so for enterprise HDD which is required to operate under a high spinning speed. In order to reduce the acoustics level of a HDD, an in depth understanding behind the mechanisms whereby the noise is being generated in a HDD should be established. This paper will study the acoustics characteristics of a high speed permanent magnet brushless DC motor (PM BLDC) and investigate the physics underlying the generation of noise associated with a motor. An analysis procedure of the PM BLDC motor noise generating mechanisms is proposed. Through finite element analysis and experimental verification, the results indicate that the major noise source for the high speed PM BLDC motor is due to the presence of electromagnetic (EM) torque ripples. Furthermore, it has been observed that the noise radiated by a HDD can be amplified when its structural dynamics are close to the frequency components of the noise source. Finally, a methodology which discusses the steps involved in the prediction of motor radiated noise will be presented.     

Performance-First Control for Discrete-Time LQG Problems

Performance-first control for discrete-time LQG is considered in this paper to minimize the probability that the performance index exceeds a preselected threshold via constructing a closed-loop feedback control law. This problem can be converted into a mean-variance control problem which can be solved by developing a nested form of the variance and using polynomial optimization as a solution scheme.     

A passive tree-based backbone construction scheme for MANETs

Backbone-based broadcast schemes are effective in alleviating the broadcast storm problem in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). However, periodically hello packets used to maintain a backbone usually lead to extra control overhead. In this paper, passive tree-based backbone construction scheme (PTBCS) is proposed as a backbone construction scheme for MANETs. Different from other schemes, each node in PTBCS determines its role by intercepting packet transmissions in the air during a special waiting period. Hence, its most remarkable advantage is that there are no periodical packet transmissions specially for backbone construction. The property that the nodes selected by PTBCS make up a connected dominating set (CDS) of the network is proven with several ideal assumptions. Simulation results show that PTBCS is effective when compared with some other typical backbone construction schemes.     

Generalized predictive control of linear systems with actuator arrearage faults

Arrearage phenomenon commonly exists in actuators. With arrearages, the actuator cannot achieve the target suggested by the controller, so the control performance degrades. Deadzones and stuck faults can be considered to be two special classes of arrearages, which are studied widely; however, more general arrearage phenomenon cannot be described and treated by these forms. In this paper, a general formulation is introduced for this phenomenon, which is referred as actuator arrearage faults. Based on this formulation, an improved generalized predictive control scheme is proposed for a class of single-input single-output linear systems. With arrearage faults, the system becomes a stochastic process. Hence, a sufficient condition, which guarantees the output tracking error to be uniformly ultimately bounded in the mean-square sense, is presented in this paper. Simulations are given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Reachability determination in acyclic Petri nets by cell enumeration approach

Reachability is one of the most important behavioral properties of Petri nets. We propose in this paper a novel approach for solving the fundamental equation in the reachability analysis of acyclic Petri nets, which has been known to be NP-complete. More specifically, by adopting a revised version of the cell enumeration method for an arrangement of hyperplanes in discrete geometry, we develop an efficient solution scheme to identify firing count vector solution(s) to the fundamental equation on a bounded integer set, with a complexity bound of O((nu)^n−m), where n is the number of transitions, m is the number of places and u is the upper bound of the number of firings for all individual transitions.

A new criterion of delay-dependent asymptotic stability for Hopfield neural networks with time delay.

In this brief, the problem of global asymptotic stability for delayed Hopfield neural networks (HNNs) is investigated. A new criterion of asymptotic stability is derived by introducing a new kind of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and is formulated in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be readily solved via standard software. This new criterion based on a delay fractioning approach proves to be much less conservative and the conservatism could be notably reduced by thinning the delay fractioning. An example is provided to show the effectiveness and the advantage of the proposed result.
