Active control of die-level temperature is required during production testing of high power microprocessors in order to ensure accurate performance classification, but control is becoming more difficult as the device power densities increase. With power densities approaching 100 W /cm2, the current passive control systems are no longer able to maintain the required temperature tolerance for pro...

in this paper, plug-in fuel cell electric vehicle (pfcev) is considered with dual power sources including fuel cell (fc) and battery energy storage. in order to respond to a transient power demand, usually supercapacitor energy storage device is combined with fuel cell to create a hybrid system with high energy density of fuel cell and the high power density of battery. in order to simulate the...

in this paper, an integration of improve particle swarm optimization (ipso) incombination with successive quadratic programming (sqp) so called ipso-sqpalgorithm is proposed to solve time optimal bang-bang control problems. theprocedure is found not sensitive to the initial guess of the solution. due to randomselection in the first stage of the search process, the chance of converging to theglo...

Modern vehicles, as an emerging smart mobile platform, are equipped with operating systems to help or even replace human drivers [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The computational capabilities provide opportunities and challenges to manage and control vehicles safer and more fuel efficient. Morgan Stanley reports that 100% adoption of self-driving cars is expected to have $158 billion annual savings [6] is US....
