Implementation of Input Shaping on Flexible Machines with Integer Controllers

This paper presents an input shaping method for building in real time a shaped velocity profile according to an integer algorithm that determines the command reference signal at each interpolation step. This integer implementation has the drawback of slightly reduce shaping robustness. However, experimental results confirm residual vibration reduction when robust shapers are used in the integer...

Shaping Bits

The performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) with bit shaping (i.e., non-equiprobable bit probabilities in the underlying binary code) is studied. For the Gaussian channel, the rates achievable with BICM and bit shaping are practically identical to those of coded modulation or multilevel coding. This identity holds for the whole range of values of signalto-noise ratio. Moreover, t...

Attention Shaping*

The paper examines software risk management in a novel way in which managers address risks through sequential attention shaping and intervention. These risks represent incongruent states within and between the four components of Leavitt's model: task, structure, technology, and actors. Such a state can in the extreme case lead to a failure of developing or implementing the software, and thus to...

Steel Sheet Incremental Cold Shaping Improvements Using Hybridized Genetic Algorithms with Support Vector Machines and Neural Networks

The complexity and difficulties in modelling the most of nowadays real world problems increase as the computational capacity does, specially in those processes where relatively new technology arises. One of such processes is the steel sheet incremental cold shaping. The steel sheet incremental cold shaping process is a new technique for shaping metal sheets when a reduced amount of pieces per l...
