A New Fault Tolerant Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller Incorporating an UKF-Based Centralized Measurement Fusion Scheme

A new Fault Tolerant Controller (FTC) has been presented in this research by integrating a Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) mechanism in a nonlinear model predictive controller framework. The proposed FDD utilizes a Multi-Sensor Data Fusion (MSDF) methodology to enhance its reliability and estimation accuracy. An augmented state-vector model is developed to incorporate the occurred senso...

The Evolution of Virtual Instrumentation

A virtual instrumentation system is computer software that a user would employ to develop a computerized test and measurement system, for controlling from a computer desktop an external measurement hardware device, and for displaying test or measurement data collected by the external device on instrument-like panels on a computer screen. Virtual instrumentation extends also to computerized syst...

A client-server architecture for distributed measurement systems

This paper describes a client–server architecture for the remote control of instrumentation over the Internet network. The proposed solution allows multiuser, multi-instrument sessions by means of a queueing and instrument locking capability. Client applications can be easily developed by using conventional high-level programming languages or well-assessed virtual instrumentation frameworks. Pe...

Comparison of apically extruded debris and instrumentation time using rotary, endodontic handpiece and hand files in primary molar teeth: (In-vitro )

Abstract Background & Aim : This study was aimed to compare the instrumentation time and the amount of debris extruded apically  during root canal preparation using hand files ,Mtwo rotary system and endodontic handpiece  in primary molar teeth. Method & Material : In this experimental study, sixty roots of  primary molars of human teeth were assigned to three groups (for each group, n=20). The...

A Web-based distributed virtual educational laboratory

Evolution and cost of measurement equipment, continuous training, and distance learning make it difficult to provide a complete set of updated workbenches to every student. For a preliminary familiarization and experimentation with instrumentation and measurement procedures, the use of virtual equipment is often considered more than sufficient from the didactic point of view, while the hands-on...
