Mode Switching Control Method for Man-Machine Collaborated Robotic Systems (Switching from Power-Assist Mode to Automatic Positioning Mode)

Mode Switching

In many control applications, a speciic set of output tracking controllers of satisfactory performance have already been designed and must be used. When such a collection of control modes is available, an important problem is to be able to accomplish a variety of high level tasks by appropriately switching between the low-level control modes. In this paper, we deene a concept of control modes, ...

Automatic mode switching in atrial fibrillation

Automatic mode switching (AMS) algorithms were designed to prevent tracking of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATA) or other rapidly occurring signals sensed by atrial channels, thereby reducing the adverse hemodynamic and symptomatic consequences of a rapid ventricular response. The inclusion of an AMS function in most dual chamber pacemaker now provides optimal management of atrial arrhythmias and a...

Average Current Mode Control of Switching Power Supplies

Current mode control as usually implemented in switching power supplies actually senses and controls peak inductor current. This gives rise to many serious problems, including poor noise immunity, a need for slope compensation, and peak-to-average current errors which the inherently low current loop gain cannot correct. Average current mode control eliminates these problems and may be used effe...

Hierarchical modeling of mode-switching systems

This paper introduces a set of input-output blocks to build intuitive models of dynamic systems with mode switching due to changes in operating conditions, sensor failure, model reconfiguration, and model-order reduction. These blocks make it possible to construct hierarchical component models of mode-switching systems. An application to an automotive steer-by-wire example and Simulink simulati...
