This paper presents a neuroadaptive full-state feedback controller design for the Boeing unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), and a neuroadaptive output feedback controller design for a damped van der Pol oscillator model. The proposed neuroadaptive controllers employ a novel controller architecture involving additional terms in the update laws that are constructed using a moving window of th...

The present study investigated, whether word width and length affect the optimal character size for reading of horizontally scrolling Japanese words, using reading speed as a measure. In Experiment 1, three Japanese words, each consisting of four Hiragana characters, sequentially scrolled on a display screen from right to left. Participants, all Japanese native speakers, were instructed to read...

On purpose to elevate the efficiency of elliptic curve scalar multiplication in the device with weak computation power and to improve computational security, in this paper we pioneer a novel algorithm named Improvedm-ary, which is based on the depth first addition chain scheme and the improved m-ary mechanism compatible with a flexible width window. At first, we research and analyze the advanta...

This paper addresses intelligent techniques for the quality control of the pulsed gas tungsten arc welding process for butt joints, and it is a development to Ref. 1. Because there exist some important differences in butt joint welding and bead-on-plate welding, the modeling and control scheme in Ref. 1 does not completely fit for butt joint welding. In this paper, the differences between the t...

This paper deals with the performance analysis of the field oriented control for a permanent magnet synchronous drive system with an artificial neural network proportional-integral-derivative for speed control in closed loop operation. Space vector pulse width modulation is used to generate the required stator voltage. The space vector pulse width modulation has the character of wide linear ran...

A thorough examination has been performed of the thermally induced stresses on a window in an enclosure-fire environment. Analytical and numerical methods establish the importance of bridling stress (due to axial elongation) and flexing stress (due to normal deformation). Most previous studies omitted the consideration of flexing stresses. Maximum stresses, being the sum of bridling and flexing...

The decision to enable a network controller to operate at a high performance mode, at the cost of high power, should not rely solely on the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, but also on the ability of the network to deliver it. This work presents a power reduction approach for network controllers using the TCP protocol's unique capability to sense congested networks. Simulations show...

Light stripe projection (LSP) is one of the most robust 3D recognition methods, and the general method of light stripe feature (LSF) detection is Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG) filtering. If distances to objects are various, as in the case of indoor navigation, LSF width becomes various according to distance. As the window size of spatial filtering influences the performance significantly, various...
