Advanced disturbance observer design for mechanical positioning systems

Disturbance-observer (DOB)-based controller design is one of the most popular methods in the field of motion control. In this paper, the generalized disturbance compensation framework, named the robust internal-loop compensator (RIC) is introduced and an advanced design method of a DOB is proposed based on the RIC. The mixed sensitivity optimization problem, which is the main issue of DOB design, is also solved through the parametrization of the DOB in the RIC framework. Differently from conventional methods, the Q-filter is separated from the mixed sensitivity optimization problem and a systematic design law for the DOB is proposed. This guarantees the robustness and optimality of the DOB and enables the design for unstable plants.

Antioxidant activity of anacardic acids

Anacardic acids, 6-pentadec(en)ylsalicylic acids isolated from the cashew Anacardium occidentale L. (Anacardiaceae) nut and apple, were found to possess preventive antioxidant activity while salicylic acid did not show this activity. These anacardic acids prevent generation of superoxide radicals by inhibiting xanthine oxidase (EC 1.1.3.22, Grade IV) without radical-scavenging activity. Notably, the inhibition kinetics of anacardic acids do not follow hyperbolic dependence of enzyme inhibition on inhibitor contents (Michaelis–Menten equation) but follow the Hill equation instead. Anacardic acid (C_15:1) inhibited the soybean lipoxygenase-1 (EC 1.13.11.12, Type 1) catalyzed oxidation of linoleic acid with an IC₅₀ of 6.8 μM. The inhibition is a slow and reversible reaction without residual enzyme activity. The inhibition kinetics indicate that anacardic acid (C_15:1) is a competitive inhibitor and the inhibition constant, K_I, was 2.8 μM. Anacardic acids act as antioxidants in a variety ways, including inhibition of various prooxidant enzymes involved in the production of the reactive oxygen species and chelate divalent metal ions such as Fe²⁺ or Cu²⁺, but do not quench reactive oxygen species. The C₁₅-alkenyl side chain is largely associated with the activity.     

Adaptive synchronization of master-slave large-scale systems against bias actuators and network attenuations

This paper utilizes the adaptive technique to design a class of active synchronizing masterslave large scale systems against imperfect actuators and networked interconnections with bias faults and signal attenuations, respectively. Without the requirement of knowledge of eventual faulty factors of bias-actuators on systems, and attenuation factors of connected networks, an adaptive mechanism is designed to estimate each unknown faulty factor on-line for constructing a class of distributed adaptive controllers. Then based on the adaptive adjustment parameters and Lyapunov stability theory, Lyapunov functions are addressed to prove that the proposed adaptive master-slave large-scale system can be guaranteed to be asymptotic synchronization with the improper actuator and faulty transmitted signals. Finally, a multiple vehicle large-scale system is used to verify the efficiency of the method.     

Effects of soaking soybeans in dilute acids on biologically active components

Soaking soybeans in dilute acids affected activities of lipoxygenase, trypsin inhibitor and urease. Effects of soaking time, acid concentration and soaking temperature were investigated. Lipoxygenase activity was completely eliminated by soaking in 0.3 M HC1 at either 23°C or 40°C for 8 hr. Less than 50% trypsin inhibitor remained and urease was inactivated to an acceptable level (0.04 ΔpH).     

The kinetics of B‐a and P‐a type copolybenzoxazine via the ring opening process

The structure of benzoxazines is similar to that of phenolic resin through thermal self‐curing of the heterocyclic ring opening reaction that neither requires catalyst nor releases any condensation byproduct. These polybenzoxazine resins have several outstanding properties such as high thermal stability and high glass transition temperature. To better understand the curing kinetics of this copolybenzoxazine thermosetting resin, dynamic and isothermal differential scanning calorimetry measurements were performed. Three models, the Kissinger method, the Flynn–Wall–Osawa method, and the Kamal method, were used to describe the curing process. Dynamic kinetic activation energies based on Kissinger and Flynn–Wall–Osawa methods are 72.11 and 84.06 KJ/mol, respectively. The Kamal method based on an autocatalytic model results in a total order of reaction between 2.66 and 3.03, depending on curing temperature. Its activation energy and Arrhenius preexponential are 50.3 KJ/mol and 7959, respectively. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 730–737, 2005     

Solution copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and alkyl methacrylates in a continuous stirred tank reactor(CSTR)

Continuous solution copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with ethyl methacrylate or n-butyl methacrylate was carried out in a continuous stirred tank reactor. Solvent and initiator used were toluene and benzoyl peroxide, respectively. Reaction volume was 1.2 litters, residence time 3 hours and polymerization temperature 80°C. The copolymerization conversions were analyzed by UV spectrophotometry and confirmed by measuring the solid weights of copolymers obtained after evaporating solvent. The copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and alkyl methacrylates followed the second order kinetics. The simulated conversions and copolymerization rates were compared with the experimental results. The average time to reach dynamic steady-state was three and half times of the residence time.     

Non-fragile dynamic output feedback H∞ control for discrete-time systems with FWL consideration

The non-fragile dynamic output feedback H _∞ controller design problem is investigated. The controller to be designed is assumed to be with additive gain variations. A two-step procedure is proposed to develop sufficient conditions for the non-fragile H _∞ controller design by employing the structured vertex separator. A comparison between the proposed and the existing controller design methods is provided, and a numerical example is carried out to support the theoretical findings.

Nanotextured superhydrophobic micromesh

A superhydrophobic micromesh covered with nanoprotrusions has been introduced and its applicability to a waterproof mobile phone speaker has been evaluated. The nanotextured superhydrophobic micromesh showed excellent water repellency, self-cleaning and waterproofing performances. In a waterproof speaker test using the fabricated nanotextured micromesh, the micromesh did not lose its waterproof function at 2 m water depth and did not form a remnant water film after being removed from the water. The packaged speaker showed almost the same sound quality before and after dipping at a 2 m water depth. These results demonstrate that the superhydrophobic nanotextured micromesh could be directly applicable for various products that need to resist water penetration, yet allow the transmission of gases and sound/light waves.
