Received Apr 20, 2017 Revised Jun 5, 2017 Accepted Sep 11, 2017 This paper is a contribution to the analysis and modeling of a mechatronic system with dynamic behavior that is controlled by a digital computer. In this paper, a bibliographic research on mechatronic systems is presented by specifying a case study of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Then, a methodology of systemic modeling of t...

It is often difficult to measure all necessary parameters directly in the current stability control systems. This paper presents a nonlinear observer to estimate vehicle’s yaw rate, lateral acceleration, tire side slip angles and the road friction coefficient based on the measurement signals of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The performances of ...

With the advancement of the technology the safety issues which were associated with the automobiles and automation has been greatly reduced, one of such technology is Anti-Lock Braking System popularly kenned as ABS system. In this review paper we will discuss sundry technologies and algorithms that were developed to make this system more efficient and cost efficacious additionally we will disc...

We demonstrate an ambient light coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscope that allows CARS imaging to be operated under environmental light for field use. The CARS signal is modulated at megahertz frequency and detected by a photodiode equipped with a lab-built resonant amplifier, then extracted through a lock-in amplifier. The filters in both the spectral domain and the frequency domain...

Techniques for Constructing Efficient Lock-free Data Structures Trevor Brown Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2017 Building a library of concurrent data structures is an essential way to simplify the difficult task of developing concurrent software. Lock-free data structures, in which processes can help one another to complete operations, offer ...

A unique decoupling feature in frictional disk brake mechanisms, derived through kinematic analysis, enables modularised design of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) into a sliding mode system that specifies reference brake torque and a tracking brake actuator controller. Modelling of brake actuation, vehicle dynamics, and control design are described for a scaled vehicle system. The overall con...

We probe small scalar coupling differences via the coherent interactions between two nuclear spin singlet states in organic molecules. We show that the spin-lock induced crossing (SLIC) technique enables the coherent transfer of singlet order between one spin pair and another. The transfer is mediated by the difference in syn and anti vicinal or long-range J couplings among the spins. By measur...

The anti-lock braking systems installed on vehicles for safe and effective braking, are high-order nonlinear and timevariant. Using fuzzy logic controllers increase efficiency of such systems, but impose a high computational complexity as well. The main concept introduced by this paper is reducing computational complexity of fuzzy controllers by deploying problem-solution data structure. Unlike...

Automotive driving safety systems such as an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and an electronic stability program (ESP) assist drivers in controlling the vehicle to avoid road accidents. In this paper, ABS and the ESP, based on the fuzzy logic theory, are integrated for vehicle stability control in complex braking maneuvers. The proposed control algorithm is implemented for a sport utility vehicl...
