Inverted pendulum is a non-linear, multivariable and unstable device, a model predictive control (MPC) performance evaluation and tuning method for inverted pendulum device is proposed. MPC was designed to control the inverted pendulum device, and the minimum variance covariance constrained control (MVC) was applied to evaluate the performance of the MPC controller and tune its parameters. The ...

The drive performance of a new MOSFET structure, the peak device, resulting from recent doping profile optimizations of a 0.25 mm nMOSFET for 1.5 V supply voltage, is investigated. Explanations for the improved performance are given using two-dimensional device simulation. With an analytical transistor model fitted to the two-dimensional device characteristics, the relevant physical effects are...

In this deliverable we present Device-to-Device communication and Network Coding as promising technology options for integration into cellular networks. We describe the motivation why these technologies are well suited for cellular networks and present first performance results that show the potential gains. In our future work we will focus on the system integration of Device-to-Device communic...

We present a pilot study investigating the use of mobile technology to augment live performance dance. An augmented performance was created and viewed through an tablet device then analysed from a technical and audience standpoint. Low complexity augmentations were found to be very effective, however the device placed restrictions on higher complexity augmentations, the performance length and t...

background and purpose: many workers are exposed to workplace hazards. many occupational diseases are preventable by personal protective devices (ppds). though many workers do not use ppds or their protection by ppds is not sufficient. this study was designed to assess the quality of ppds usage among industrial workers. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study, 648 workers from four ma...
