Controlling Height with Temperature

Controlling Hopping Height of a Pneumatic Monopod

We describe a model-based height controller for a hopping robot with a pneumatically powered leg. The controller explicitly models variation in the leg angle and height. Using an explicit model of the physics of the pneumatic spring and some symmetry assumptions, we derive the desired leg-length setting to regulate apex hopping height using a PD controller. Simulation experiments of hopping in ...

Synthesis of 500 - Mb . Height and Temperature Data by Consideration of Surfacepressure and Temperature and the Behavior of Density with Height ’

A procedure for synthesizing 500-mb. height and temperature data over oceanic areas using only sea level data as an input is developed. The procedure is tested by comparing the synthetic data to observed 500-mb. data at 4YN and 4YP and by comparing 500-mb. synthetic data charts to 500-mb. charts based on observed data. The North Pacific is chosen for the latter test. The 500-mb. height variatio...

Designing an Intelligent, Non-Contact System for Controlling Neonate’s Body Temperature in Incubators

Background and Objective: Regulating body temperature of premature infants and preparing them a desirable physical condition for completing physical and mental development is essential. Using a system that guarantees neonate’s health in incubator at first birth hours is cardinal. Materials and Methods: In this method, a set of non-contact infrared sensors and microcontrollers regulate neo...

Sandpiles with height restrictions.

We study stochastic sandpile models with a height restriction in one and two dimensions. A site can topple if it has a height of two, as in Manna's model, but, in contrast to previously studied sandpiles, here the height (or number of particles per site), cannot exceed two. This yields a considerable simplification over the unrestricted case, in which the number of states per site is unbounded....
