In this paper an improved current comparator is using flipped voltage follower (FVF) to obtain the single supply voltage. This circuit has short propagation delay and occupies a small chip area. All circuits have been simulated employing Tanner EDA Tool 14.1v for 90nm CMOS technology and a comparison has been performed with its non FVF counterpart to contrast its effectiveness, simplicity, comp...

We refer to human-robot relationships as Lovotics. In this paper a design process for Lovotics is presented. In order to invoke these relationships, technological solutions can only take us so far. Design played an important role in order to engage users to explore the possibilities of bi-directional, human-robot love. We conducted a user-centric study in order to understand these factors and i...

In this article, we consider the linear-quadratic time-inconsistent mean-field type leader-follower Stackelberg differential game with an adapted open-loop information structure. The objective functionals of leader and follower include conditional expectations state control (mean field) variables, cost parameters could be general nonexponential discounting depending on initial time. As stated i...

In this paper, three controllers, including OFCHA (optimal fuzzy control using hedge algebras – HAs), FCHA (fuzzy control using HAs) and CFC (conventional fuzzy control) are designed. Attention is paid to the stability in the vertical position of a damped-elastic-jointed inverted pendulum subjected to a time-periodic follower force. The different values of the angular coefficient of the followe...

The problem of coordinated control of a leader-follower system is solved using a virtual vehicle approach to alleviate information requirements on the leader. The virtual vehicle stabilizes to a shifted reference position/heading defined by the leader, and provides a reference velocity for the synchronization control law of the follower. Only position/heading measurements are available from the...

The article presents a Fuzzy-Sugeno type microscopic follower model from the building of the model through a brief description to the evaluation of it. Four other models mentioned in the literature are used for the investigation of the model giving a basis of comparison for the evaluation of the model in question. The model implements a partition of two of the three typical parameters (follower...

Recent applications of game theory in security domains use algorithms to solve a Stackelberg model, in which one player (the leader) first commits to a mixed strategy and then the other player (the follower) observes that strategy and bestresponds to it. However, in real-world applications, it is hard to determine whether the follower is actually able to observe the leader’s mixed strategy befo...

religion has always had a significant role in indian thoughts and unlike the west, the separation of religion and science has never happened in india. even today, the role of religion is evident in diverse aspects of indian life, and religious links and tendencies are represented in the works of contemporary thinkers. but among all contemporary scholars vivekananda has been a pioneer in this re...

this paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...
