Maintenance and Work-rest Scheduling in Human-machine System According to Fatigue and Reliability

Most manufacturers use human-machine systems to produce high-quality products. Dealing with human-machine systems is very complicated since not only machines should be utilized in proper condition but also appropriate environment should be provided for human resources. Most manufacturers have a maintenance plan for machines but many of them do not have a proper work-rest schedule for human reso...

Human-centered compression for efficient text input

We describe a novel method for improving the efficiency of natural language text input under degraded conditions, for instance by disabled users or on mobile telephones. Previous approaches to this problem were based on prediction of the input text. Prediction, however, requires the user to take overt action to verify or select the system’s predictions, causing an increased cognitive load that ...

Fault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints

A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...
