This paper presents experimental results of a nonlinear torqueux optimal control for induction motor drives. This controller, minimizes the stored magnetic energy and the coil losses, while satisfying torque tracking control objectives [2]. The optimal control calculates and imposes time-varying (torque-reference depending) rotor ux norms. The controller is a cascadebased scheme with tree main ...

This paper presents a trajectory-tracking control strategy for a class of mechanical systems in Hamiltonian form. The class is characterised by a simplectic interconnection arising from the use of generalised coordinates and full actuation. The tracking error dynamic is modelled as a port-Hamiltonian Systems (PHS). The control action is designed to take the error dynamics into a desired closed-...

in this paper, control of a non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor in which two parallel autocatalytic reactions take place has been addressed. the reactor shows chaotic behavior for a certain set of reactor parameters. in order to control the product concentration, an optimal state feedback controller has been designed. since concentrations of reactor species are not measured, an obser...

In this article we characterize the effect of transmitter clock jitter upon receiver symbol synchronization performance. Using a sinusoidal model for the timing jitter, we evaluate the bit error rate (BER) degradation and cycle slip probabilities of receivers via analysis as well as simulation for uncoded offset quadrature-phase-shift-keying (OQPSK). We evaluate performance for two different sy...

Under high dynamic situation, the typical GPS carrier tracking loop cannot guarantee a reliable tracking. In this paper an improved high dynamic carrier tracking method based on unscented Kalman filter is presented, a rapid frequency traction method is adopted to ensure that the filter can convergence quickly, and joining a carrier amplitude estimation method. The U.S Jet Propulsion Laboratory ...

We present a scalable object tracking framework, which is capable of tracking the contour of nonrigid objects in the presence of occlusion. The framework consists of open-loop boundary prediction and closed-loop boundary correction parts. The open-loop prediction block adaptively divides the object contour into subcontours, and estimates the mapping parameters for each subsegment. The closed-lo...

This paper proposes a novel architecture for ultra-tight integration of a High Sensitivity Global Positioning System (HSGPS) receiver with an Inertial Navigation System (INS), to address the issue of GPS tracking and positioning in degraded signal environments. By enhancing signal tracking loops in receivers through the use of optimal controllers/estimators and aiding from external source such ...
