Scaling down robots to miniature size introduces many new challenges including memory and program size limitations, low processor performance and low power autonomy. In this paper we describe the concept and implementation of learning of safe-wandering and ...
With advances in micromachining and the consequent growing sophistication of microstructures, emphasis is increasingly being laid on the design and realization of complete microsystems. In this paper we will show some possible combinations of micromaching ...
A modular parallel architecture for a MMSE-DFE coefficient computation processor is presented. The architecture is based on the QR factorization of a channel-and-noise-dependent data matrix and is implemented using CORDIC processors within a systolic array ...
The purpose of this paper is to present a way to acquire some knowledge for the development of an expert system for power system security analysis. The paper discusses principally the problem of security in steady state and especially the problem of overlo ...
A general calculation model is developed and described starting from the effective load-carrying mechanisme of edge- and point supported (punching shear) slabs. This leads to a simplified and practical design process for shear. This method, originally deve ...
Computer simulations of granular materials based on the distinct element method (DEM) are now commonly used in the design and optimization of industrial processes. One of the leading mathematical approach to DEM uses dynamic triangulations for detecting co ...
A modular parallel architecture for a MMSE-DFE coefficient computation processor is presented. The architecture is based on QR factorization of a channel-and-noise-dependent data matrix and is implemented using CORDIC processors within a systolic array arc ...
We will present a method allowing to evaluate the mechanical performances (torque, speed, mechanical power, dissipated losses in the surface of contact between stator and rotor) of the travelling wave ultrasonic motors. The visualization of the motor chara ...
Approximations for real values of W(x), where W is defined by solutions of W exp(W) = x, are presented. All of the approximations have maximum absolute (|W|>1) or relative (|W|
Precise control of the shape and position of double-null divertor configurations in the TCV tokamak has been used to trigger reliably the transition from ELM-free to ELMy ohmic H mode and back. Preprogrammed modulation of the magnetic axis height (+/- 1.25 ...
