this paper proposes a simple but efficient technique to control 3d overhead crane. load musttrack a desired path and not sway more than a reasonable range.the proposed method uses pidcontrol for trolley to track the desired path and fuzzy control compensation to eliminate the loadswing. only the projection of swing angle is applied to design the fuzzy controller. no plantinformation of crane is...

Swinging up an inverted pendulum is a common benchmark task for the investigation of automatic control techniques. In this paper we introduce a new Fuzzy Sliding Mode (FSM) technique for swinging-up an inverted pendulum and controlling the connected cart, while minimizing the swing-up time, the cart travel and the required control action. The FSM technique adopted is based on a piecewise linear...

Solar eclipses provide a rapidly changing solar radiation environment. These changes can be studied using simple photodiode sensors, if the radiation reaching the sensors is unaffected by cloud. Transporting the sensors aloft using standard meteorological instrument packages modified to carry extra sensors, provides one promising but hitherto unexploited possibility for making solar eclipse rad...

This research was funded in part by Semiconductor Research Corporation under contract (#98-HJ-638) and in part by DARPA. Abstract The increase in power consumption due to interconnects and the variation in delays (delay spread) among long interconnects are becoming important issues for design of high performance and low power circuits in scaled technologies. In this paper we propose an adaptive...

The functions of ipsilateral cutaneous reflexes were studied with short trains of stimuli presented pseudorandomly to the superficial peroneal (SP) and tibial nerves during human gait. Electromyograms (EMGs) of tibialis anterior (TA), soleus, lateral and medial gastrocnemius, vastus lateralis (VL), and biceps femoris (BF) muscle were recorded, together with ankle and knee joint angles. Net refl...

In this paper a new area based technique is proposed for deriving gait signatures by decomposing the human body into three independent structural segments such as head node, arm swing and leg swing areas. Initially, all the feature points are represented as the sides of an n-sided polygon for calculating the area of each region. This technique induces surplus noise in the feature points which i...

45 Abstract— This paper present the development of composite flush door shutter for ecological purpose (eco-composite) using natural fibre like bamboo, jute and their basic mechanical properties. Here, 100 percent indigenous technologies were applied to make flush door shutter of solid core type. Different thermosetting resin adhesives were used as matrix at different stage. The experimental re...

The deceptively simple foot-in-the-door technique is the oldest and most widely researched of the sequential-request compliance procedures investigated by social psychologists. Since its introduction by Freedman and Fraser (1966), the procedure has been examined in more than a hundred published studies and has been the topic of several reviews and meta-analyses (Beaman, Cole, Preston, Klentz, &...

To completely eliminate the time delays caused by phasor data compressions for real-time synchrophasor applications, a compression (RSDC) is proposed in this paper. The two-way rotation characteristic and elliptical trajectory of dynamic synchrophasors are introduced first to enhance along with fast solving method fitting equations. RSDC reconstruction then combining interpolation extrapolation...

This paper describes the architecture of a face recognition technique for door phone embedded system with interactive face and voice response. for the face recognition method using PCA algorithm. In this paper feature is extracted using PCA. The face recognition system using UVC Driver camera has been considered. The proposed system recognize the persons up to 300 cm and send feedback to mobile...
