Suspension system is an important part of the car design, because it influences both the comfort and safety of the passengers. In this paper an active suspension using linear electric motor is designed. This article is also focused on experiments with active suspension – developing an appropriate input signal for the test bed and evaluation of the results. Second important aspect of the active ...

It has previously been shown that Siamese cats have abnormal retino-geniculate pathways. In the lateral geniculate nucleus of the Siamese cat two layers (A and C) represent the nasal retina of the contralateral eye in a normal manner. Two other layers (A1 and C1) have some segments that carry a normal retinotopically organized representation of the visual field, and other segments in which the ...

An modification of the Approximate Internal Modelbased Neural Control (AIMNC), using Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks is proposed. A necessary condition that the system provides zero steady-state error for a constant reference and constant disturbances is derived. In the proposed control strategy only one neural network, which is the neural model of the plant, needs to be trained of...

• A novel video-based indirect measurement procedure for SHM projects. three-step modification process inappropriate conditions in video records. No need high-speed cameras and expensive record equipment. Experimental modal characteristics time history responses are the main outputs. Effective accurate field-measurement of historical structures. sensing dynamic identification purposes is presen...

The successive projection algorithm (SPA) can quickly solve a nonnegative matrix factorization problem under a separability assumption. Even if noise is added to the problem, SPA is robust as long as the perturbations caused by the noise are small. In particular, robustness against noise should be high when handling the problems arising from real applications. The preconditioner proposed by Gil...

For classification, support vector machines (SVMs) have recently been introduced and quickly became the state of the art. Now, the incorporation of prior knowledge into SVMs is the key element that allows to increase the performance in many applications. This paper gives a review of the current state of research regarding the incorporation of two general types of prior knowledge into SVMs for c...

this research study explored the impact of learning styles and input modalities on the second language (l2) learners' input processing (ip). this study also sought to appraise the usefulness of processing instruction (pi) and its components in relation to the learners' learning styles and input modalities. to this end, 73 male and female iranian efl learners from islamic azad universi...

For exponential distribution, a modification of the Kolmogorov goodness-of-fit test is considered. This consists in replacement empirical distribution function by optimal unbiased estimator function. Properties modified statistics are described that make it possible to calculate its distribution. The power compared with for various values input parameters.

This paper presents an experimental research of identification method proposed by the authors in their previous works. The method was developed to identify a linear observation model in remote sensing images. It uses the relation between energy spectra of input and output images, and it is called energy spectrum method. The latest modification of the method applies vector map data from geoinfor...

This paper presents a formal model of concurrent system that is equipped with capabilities of sending and receiving higher-order terms. That is a modification of the asynchronous higher order π-calculus. A new operation : input streaming is introduced. An input process consists of an input stream and a process P . It can receive a higher order term t during the execution of P . Input prefix and...
