A PD+PI type fuzzy logic controller with sliding surface is presented in this study. This controller consists of two parts which are PD type and PI type fuzzy logic units. Inputs to those fuzzy logic units are the sliding surface functions and their derivatives. The integrated controller is applied to two degrees of freedom vehicle active suspension model. Both time and frequency domain analysi...

This paper describes a new design for direct sliding mode method with a high switching frequency using the PD-PI type sliding surface applied to a negative output Luo converter worked in continuous current mode for applications required constant power source such as aerospace applications, medical equipment and etc. Because of the output power and line changes, the converter model is also nonli...

This paper is about the design of a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC), with modified PI-D sliding surface, for the control of First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) process. In the modified PI-D sliding surface, error is connected to the proportional and integral elements of the controller, and the derivative of the system output is connected to derivative element of the controller. The usage of PI-D s...

controller design remains an elusive and challenging problem foruncertain nonlinear dynamics. interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (it2fls) incomparison with type-1 fuzzy logic systems claim to effectively handle systemuncertainties especially in the presence of disturbances and noises, but lack aformal mechanism to guarantee performance. in contrast, adaptive sliding modecontrol (asmc) provides...

In this paper, a sliding mode control with a proportional integral (PI) sliding surface applied to the hybrid tunnel dryer has been assessed through simulations. A dynamic model of the process was developed specifically for this purpose. The pseudo-bond graph methodology was used in modelling the system, such methodology was very suitable for this thermal process and permits us to establish a m...

Monoclonal antibodies targeting PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway have achieved unprecedented success in cancer treatment over the last few years. Atezolizumab is the first PD-L1 monoclonal antibody approved by US FDA for cancer therapy; however the molecular basis of atezolizumab in blocking PD-1/PD-L1 interaction is not fully understood. Here we have solved the crystal structure of PD-L1/atezolizu...

In this paper, a Proportional-Derivative and Integral (PD-I) type Fuzzy-Neural Network Controller (FNNC) based on Sugeno fuzzy model is proposed for brushless DC drives to achieve satisfied performance under steady state and transient conditions. The proposed FNNC uses the speed error, change of error and the error integral as inputs. While the PD-FNNC is activated in transient states, the PI-F...

UNLABELLED Multicellular biofilm formation and surface motility are bacterial behaviors considered mutually exclusive. However, the basic decision to move over or stay attached to a surface is poorly understood. Here, we discover that in Bacillus subtilis, the key root biofilm-controlling transcription factor Spo0A~Pi (phosphorylated Spo0A) governs the flagellum-independent mechanism of social ...
