A Method for Nondestructive Testing of Flexible Manipulator Using Parameter Estimation.

Trajectory Optimization of a Flexible Manipulator Using Deflection Analysis Method

In practice, a robotic joint is linearly and angularly deflected when a load is applied at the endeffector. This article presents an improved method with a combination of energy methods and the concepts of differential relationships to more accurately calculate the static deflection at the end-effector. A systematic approach to deflection calculation through three different Jacobians is present...

Determination of Optimal ValveTiming for Internal Combustion Engines Using Parameter Estimation Method

using fuzzy knowledge of a nuisance parameter for hypothesis testing

the problem of hypothesis testing with a nuisance parameter is considered. two methods forusing fuzzy knowledge on the nuisance parameter to test hypotheses are suggested. these methods areneither a pure classical nor a pure bayesian approach to hypothesis testing, but rather related to both. afew known examples and their applications, which cannot be studied by the parametric statisticalmethod...

S-parameter Estimation Method for Multiport Modeling of Immunity Testing

Developing automotive electronic control units (ECUs) or sensors requires thorough immunity tests to prevent them from malfunctions caused by onboard or external electromagnetic noise. To reduce the development costs and time from repeating those tests, EM noise tolerance design at the design stage is important. If the estimation of intruding noise from wire harness into ECU or sensor becomes p...

Nondestructive Firmness Estimation of Tomato Fruit Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Today, nondestructive methods are widely used to determine the quality of agricultural products. Meanwhile, visible and near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy is regarded as one of the most widely used methods in the field of quality assessment of agricultural products. In this study, a system was developed to measure the Vis/NIR spectra of tomato fruit samples in the half-transmittance mode of m...
