A Highly Flexible Online Controllable FES-Pattern Generator for Basic Research

چکیده
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is nowadays used in a wide range of applications, both for sport (e.g. muscle relaxation) and for medical use (e.g. iontophorese or to restore functional use of paralysed muscles). Various stimulator systems are commercially available for those applications where a fixed chronological course of the programmed stimulation pattern can be used, as for example the relaxation of muscles or iontophorese. These devices generate a stimulation pattern, which can be adjusted in amplitude, frequency, etc. using some buttons or menus or can be selected by a fixed program stored in a non-volatile RAM as well as a program, which can be downloaded from a PC.

A Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem with Controllable Processing Times to Optimize Total Cost of Delay and Processing
In this paper, the flexible job shop scheduling problem with machine flexibility and controllable process times is studied. The main idea is that the processing times of operations may be controlled by consumptions of additional resources. The purpose of this paper to find the best trade-off between processing cost and delay cost in order to minimize the total costs. The proposed model, flexibl...
متن کاملFPGA based modular control platform for switched mode power converters
In educational as well as research environments there is a demand for an easy way to prototype switching converters. Several recurring standard tasks like pulse pattern generation, driving controllable switches and analog to digital conversion of physical quantities e.g. current, voltage and temperature, need to be performed. Because these standard tasks interfere with the research focus, a mod...
متن کاملA New Highly Controllable and Accurate Algorithm for Defuzzifier Circuit Implementation
Defuzzifier circuit is one of the most important parts of fuzzy logic controllers that determine the output accuracy. The Center Of Gravity method (COG) is one of the most accurate methods that so far been presented for defuzzification. In this paper, a simple algorithm is presented to generate triangular output membership functions in the Mamdani method using the multiplier/divider circuit and...
متن کاملMinimal Energy Control of an ESN Pattern Generator
In this report we present a method of adding a feedback control mechanism to an echo state network (ESN) pattern generator in order to modulate its output patterns with the purpose of tracking slowly varying control targets, e.g. shift, amplitude, or frequency of an oscillatory pattern. A proofof-principle case study is presented where a basic ESN is trained to produce a stable sinewave oscilla...
