Experimental evaluation of a multivariable adaptive nonlinear predictive controller

A new multivariable adaptive nonlinear predictive controller is designed using a general nonlinear input-output model and variable transformations. The controller is similar in form to typical linear predictive controllers can be tuned analogously or by specifying a single parameters for each controlled variable. In addition, the design procedure is computationally efficient. The new controller is compared to a multi-loop proportional-integral (PI) controller with one-way static decoupling and to an adaptive linear predictive controller through tests on a simulated nonlinear distillation column. The new controller performed well in an experimental application to a multicomponent distillation column.     

Longitudinal elastic waves in columns due to earthquake motion

An analysis is presented of longitudinal waves in a thin elastic column. Velocity is specified at one end, and the boundary condition at the other end is expressed in terms of a range of effective impedances of an attached structure. Propagation, reflection and interference of the waves are followed by the method of characteristics. Integration of differential equations along characteristics yields the wave-induced stress, which is then applied to problems of earthquake excitation. Numerical examples are given for recorded updown ground motion of the Kobe Earthquake.     

Low-Power Adaptive Biased Integrated Amplifiers

In this paper the author will present the working principle and the applications of a novel adaptive biasing topology, designed to decrease the stand-by power dissipation without affecting the transient performance of low-power amplifiers. The proposed circuit, whose principle and circuit topology can be implemented both in CMOS and in bipolar standard technologies, gives a biasing current whose value depends on the applied input differential voltage and can be set according to the requested transient performance constraints. The adaptive architecture can be utilized in the design of high-efficient low-power operational amplifiers, for the biasing of both the input stage (where the input source current is dynamically increased) and the output stage (where the output current can be controlled and limited). These amplifiers show a very good behaviour, evaluated in terms of two efficiency factors, if compared with those of other adaptive solutions and class-AB topologies, proposed in the literature. Simulation results and also measurements on a chip prototype, fabricated in a standard CMOS technology, are finally presented.     

基于小波熵的电容器扰动识别和定位

对投电容器扰动识别和定位的方法进行了改进。针对其他此类方法的不足，比如在电压幅值低时投电容器扰动的识别、定位“可信度不高”等，文中通过提取小波变换的特定层的系数，对需要识别的电容器扰动的分解信号相对增强，而其他扰动的分解信号相对减弱，然后再提取熵特征值，结果表明它可以作为识别低电压时投电容器扰动的依据。在对电容器扰动进行定位时，参考了功率和能量定位法，并对其进行了改进。仿真分析证明，在电压幅值较低时，可以准确和可靠地对电容器扰动进行识别和定位。     

图像处理中自适应数学形态学的研究

实际图像处理中当视场的变化引起目标变形时,固定大小的形态学算子很难达到较好的处理效果。研究了利用距离变换自适应地调整结构元大小的方法,即根据图像的不同位置来调整结构元素的大小,从而实现图像的形态学运算,并由此推导出了快速计算方法,最后测试了这种新算法的有效性。实验结果表明,该算法取得了较为理想的效果。     

AVO反演预处理中的检波器非径向接收能量补偿.

 在地震勘探中，当炮检距非零时，检波器接收方向与反射波传播方向的夹角是非零的（即非径向接收），这一非零夹角必将产生能量损失，进而对AVO反演产生显著影响。为此本文根据Snell定律导出非径向损失补偿公式，以模型实例讨论了非径向接收对反射系数的影响，并提出了一种简单而有效的非径向能量损失补偿方法。对比用该方法做非径向损失补偿前后的AVO反演结果，其差异显著，说明本文方法能够明显改善AVO反演的质量。     

Construction of a control system for disturbance rejection using a dual observer

A well‐known control system which can reduce the adverse effects of disturbances is a disturbance observer. However, in many cases of mechanical systems, system disturbances which do not satisfy the matching condition may be imposed. Therefore, it may be difficult to reduce the adverse effects of the disturbances by the traditional disturbance observer. In this paper, a method of control system synthesis for disturbance rejection using a dual observer is proposed. This method is based on the zeroing induced by the disturbance localization problem. This problem may be solved by dividing the state space into observable subspace and unobservable subspace. As compared with an H_∞ controller based on perfect observation, the usefulness of the proposed control system for disturbance rejection is demonstrated by numerical simulations for a two‐mass spring system. © 2002 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 138(4): 50–60, 2002; DOI 10.1002/eej.1138

Lyapunov‐stable discrete‐time model reference adaptive control

Discrete‐time model reference adaptive control (MRAC) is considered with both least squares and projection algorithm parameter identification. For both cases complete Lyapunov proofs are given for stability and convergence. The results extend the approach of Johansson (Int. J. Control 1989; 50 (3):859–869) to include Lyapunov stability for MRAC when the normalized projection algorithm is used for parameter identification. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
