This note is concerned with the problem of semi-globally stabilizing a linear system with an input delay and a constraint on the energy of its input. Under the condition of null controllability with vanishing energy, the parametric Lyapunov equation based L2 low gain feedback is adopted to solve the problem. The proposed approach is applied to the linearized model of the relative motion in the ...

The pole assignment method for non-delay multivariable systems has received a great deal of attention for designing feedback controllers to achieve desired objectives [1], [2]. Suh and Bien [3] have considered a root locus technique for linear systems with time-delay. Here is an attempt to present a pole assignment method for multi-input systems with input delay. The single-input system with de...

This paper proposes an all-lag correlator that employs a rotating reference code sequence. The proposed correlator has an advantage over the previously proposed all-lag correlator, which employs a fixed reference code, in that correlation peaks remain at the same output positions regardless of update from newly arrived data samples. Therefore, the correlation information can be more convenientl...

Abstract In this paper we focus on the behavior of the token leaky bucket mechanism with respect to second-order statistics of the departure process under various correlated cell arrival and deterministic token arrival distributions. We derive expressions for the lag-k auto-correlation of the inter-departure times for the token leaky bucket cell departure stream and we produce numerical example...

In this study the correlation between lag factor G and Page ́s mathematical model parameter n was developed. Using the newly developed correlation the presence of internal or external resistance to moisture transfer during thermal drying can be verified. As modeling tools Artificial neural networks (ANN) and Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were used. The best model for determinatio...

We investigated whether a failure of distractor inhibition contributes to the magnitude of the attentional blink (AB). Subjects viewed dual-target rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) streams, where the distractors that directly preceded and succeeded Target 2 (T2-1, T2+ 1) were either identical to each other or different. Previously, Dux, Coltheart, and Harris (2006) found enhanced target r...

Models incorporating the appropriate temporal scales of dominant indicators for low flows are assumed to perform better than models with arbitrary selected temporal scales. In this paper, we investigate appropriate temporal scales of dominant low flow indicators: precipitation (P), evapotranspiration (ET) and the standardized groundwater storage index (G). This analysis is done in the context o...

The robust stability analysis of asynchronous and uncertain sampled-data systems with constant incremental input delay is addressed in the looped-functional framework. These functionals have been shown to be suitable for the analysis of impulsive systems as they allow one to express discrete-time stability conditions in an affine way, enabling then the consideration of uncertain and time-varyin...

This work presents a new discrete-time adaptive-predictive control algorithm for a system with force disturbance and input delay. This scenario is representative of a mechatronic device for percutaneous intervention with pneumatic actuation and long supply lines which is controlled remotely in the presence of an unknown external force resulting from needle-tissue interaction or gravity. The ult...

The time-lag method, using a gas permeation experiment, is currently the most popular method for determining the membrane properties: diffusivity coefcient and permeability coefcient, and from which the solubility coefcient can be calculated. In this investigation, the impact of systematic, random (noise), resolution and extrapolation errors associated with gas permeatio...
