Software for dynamic reconfigurable order picking systems

This paper describes an approach, conceptual framework, and software architecture for dynamic reconfiguration of the order picking system. The research and development project was sponsored by the Material Handling Research Center (MHRC), a National Science Foundation sponsored Cooperative Industry/University Research Center. The storage configuration is assumed to be an in-the-aisle order picking system in which stockkeeping units (SKUs) can occupy variable capacity storage locations and stock-splitting is allowed among zones (clusters). The product mix may include multiple product families with different life cycles, correlated demand within families and commonality of demand across families.     

Development of cable fault location method using fiber optic distributed temperature sensor

When ground-fault problems occur on a cable line, immediate fault location and restoration are required. Therefore, various new methods to locate the fault point instantaneously have been investigated to replace such conventional methods as the Murray loop method and the pulse radar method [1]. These methods require a long time to locate the fault point. One possible fault location method is to sense the temperature rise following a ground fault using a fiber optic distributed temperature sensor. Application of this method was found feasible through sensing the temperature rise at a ground-fault test using a thermocouple as a temperature sensor with test cables [4]. A power/optical composite cable was prepared experimentally and after verifying its thermal mechanical performance, the temperature rise at an incidence of a fault was determined and the anticipated performance was demonstrated in a ground-fault test. This article describes the outline of the test.

A TDOA location algorithm based on data fusion

A new positioning method in mobile networks is presented. Based on the data fusion technology, it processes multi-layer information fusion for the location estimates achieved by the Chan algorithm, which increases mobile positioning accuracy effectively by only using measured difference of arriving (TDOA) signals. The method is simple and practical, especially when the location estimates are corrupted by the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error. It not only has high positioning accuracy, but also reduces the location failure probability. Results from computer simulation show that the proposed method is effective in various environments. __________ Translated from Journal of Dalian University of Technology, 2005, 45(1): 138–141 (in Chinese)     

发展无严重事故风险核电站的曙光具有完全非能动安全冷却系统的压水堆核电站

本文提出了用自然力直接触发启动压水堆核电站一整套完全非能动的停堆安全冷却系统.这里的自然力主要是指一回路运行工况转换时由于其压力分布变化所形成的压差力.在这一系统中,当进行停堆或发生某种一回路事故工况时,相应的安全冷却系统便自然地投入运行,立即缓解事故后果,将事故时一回路释放的能量及堆芯余热非能动地排入最终热阱.在全过程中不依靠自动控制系统、能动设备及任何人为因素的介入,即可确保对堆芯余热无限期的安全冷却能力,完全避免压水堆核电站发生向环境泄漏放射性物质的严重事故,排除对核电站周围居民进行事故疏散的必要性,彻底解除公众对核电安全的疑虑.实施本文中提出的压水堆核站完全非能动停堆安全冷却系统,完全立足于采用现有成熟技术,因而在近期内即可应用于无严重事故风险新型第三代压水堆核电站的设计与对现有第二代压水堆核电站的技术改造项目.立足于现有压水堆核电站的运行经验,只要进一步采用完全非能动原则,实现固有安全,排除严重事故风险,那么压水堆核电站在近期内即能够成为电网的主要支柱,为破解全人类所面临的严酷环境问题做出重大贡献.

基于三点工况下的无源滤波器组优化设计

无源滤波器组的参数设计通常均针对系统单一工况(通常为最大工况)进行。当系统运行在其他工况时,有可能无论退出哪一组滤波器的运行均无法同时满足系统的无功补偿和谐波治理要求。为此基于系统的3种典型工况(最大、平均和最小工况)对无源滤波器组进行优化设计,确定合理参数,以在最小的投资费用下达到谐波治理与无功补偿的最优匹配。算例结果验证了该方法的可行性。

Dynamic characteristics and stability criterion of rotary galloping gait with an articulated passive spine joint

Based on the simplified planar quadruped model with a passive spine joint, this paper focuses on studying the effect of the spine joint on the dynamic performance and the stability of the rotary galloping gait. The stable, periodic, and symmetric rotary galloping gait is achieved by the particle swarm optimization method without any parameter symmetry for leg motion and without any limitation for spine motion. By analyzing the symmetric pattern of the rotary galloping gait, the stability criterion is derived: the closer to zero is the pitching angle at peak time of the center of mass, the better is the stability of the galloping gait. Then, we study the effect of rear leg touchdown angle and spine stiffness on the stability. Moreover, the unstable rotary galloping gait can be stabilized by adjusting one or more of the touchdown angle, spine stiffness, and leg stiffness. Furthermore, the effect of the spine stiffness on the key kinematic and kinetic properties is also studied for different initial values and mechanical parameters. The presented stability criterion and the achieved dynamic performance analysis results will be instructive for the design and control of the quadruped robot.
