in this study, a robust controller is designed for fuzzy network control systems (ncss) using the static output feedback. delay and data packet dropout affect on the stability of network control systems, and therefore, the asymptotic stability condition is established considering delay and data packet dropout. delay is time-varying while the lower and upper bounds for delay is defined, and the ...

Turn to turn fault is one of the major internal failures in the power transformers that if it is not quickly detected, can be extended and led to a complete transformer breakdown. So, the diagnosis and location of the turn to turn fault of the power transformer, as one of the most important equipment in the power system, is the main objective of this paper. For this purpose, a detailed model of...

In the field of management, the delay within projects is a prominent and contentious issue. Due to the fact that delay leads to cost and time over-runs, it is often the subject of litigation claims and creation of managerial tensions. In a bid to bring such delays under control and also to diminish managerial tensions, it is necessary to recognize and understand the following four concepts:"typ...

Many professional development opportunities offered to serving teachers address potential performance improvements or responses to change that are essentially incremental in nature. However, some challenges and opportunities particularly those relating to new technologies, involve addressing a more discontinuous change process. The Transformative Personal Development (TPD) model is derived from...

This research extends a static threshold based control strategy used to control headway variation to a dynamic threshold based control strategy. In the static strategy, buses are controlled by setting a threshold value that holds buses at a control point for a certain amount of time before allowing the bus to continue along the route. The threshold remains constant each time the bus stops at th...

In this paper, we propose a power effective bus encoding scheme which can minimize crosstalk problems as well as bus transitions effectively. In current submicron technology, minimizing propagation delay and power consumption on buses is one of the most important design objectives in the field of System-on-Chip (SoC) design. Crosstalk between adjacent wires on bus may create significant propaga...

The problem we consider originates from the design of efficient on-board networks in satellites (also called Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers). Signals incoming in the network through ports have to be routed through an on-board network to amplifiers. The network is made of expensive switches with four links and subject to two types of constraints. First, the amplifiers may fail during satellite l...

We consider on-board networks in satellites interconnecting entering signals (inputs) to amplifiers (outputs). The connections are made via expensive switches with four links available. The paths connecting inputs to outputs should be link-disjoint. Among the input signals, some of them, called priorities, must be connected to the amplifiers which provide the best quality of service (that is to...

In this paper we consider the problem of delay-dependent robustH1 control for uncertain fuzzy systems with time-varying delay. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is used to describe such systems. Time-delay isassumed to have lower and upper bounds. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskiifunctional method, a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust $H_{infty}$controller is obtained. The fuzz...
