In this paper, we propose a high accuracy multi-chain time interval measurement (TIM) technique by employing the dedicated carry chain of FPGA. According to the principle of delay chain time to digital converter (TDC), the proposed method is realized by connecting the selectors inside the slices. The resolution of the delay chain method is limited by the time delay of one delay unit. To break through...
Stationary demand process is mostly an assumption in the problem of production/inventory control. The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of non-stationary control policy and stationary control policy under the condition of non-stationary demand and to study the impact of forecasting on the system's performance in a failure-prone manufacturing system. The hedging-point-based...
Center of mass domain of a hexapod robot must be determined in order to analyze the mobility performance and accomplish the high-fidelity simulation. Hexapod robot is simplified as a system of particles based on the structure characteristics of the developed hydraulically actuated hexapod robot. Position vectors of all mass points are established by coordinate transformation. Center of mass position...
Channel mismatches of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TIADC) would result in significant decline of dynamic performance, especially in signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). However, as one kind of the channel mismatches, nonlinearity mismatch has not been widely investigated. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of nonlinearity...
The research paper focuses on developing a holonic multi-agent system (HMAS) to assist the central company during the formation of manufacturing networks. The manufacturing network paradigm gives a central company control over which group of manufacturers will participate on its customers' orders. The central company therefore has flexibility over the lead time, the production cost and the conformance...
The paper analysed a sustainable building which is demonstration project at its conceptual phase. The analysis includes the building' s energy-consumption level, the climate of where the building seats, building orientation, architectual enviornment and energy-saving measures, etc. Thus, a rational sustainable building design decision which can avoid an unsustainable building at the very begining,...
This paper simulates the prisoner's dilemma game on small-world networks. Previous work has paid many attentions to the effect of spatial structures on cooperative behavior. We consider the benefit of the cooperative behavior. It is found that, although at p=0.1 small-world region, neither the total payoffs nor the frequency of cooperators reaches a climax, and these two indicators increase rapidly...
The vehicles air suspension system has highly the misalignment, the multi-degrees-of-freedom and time-variable and so on characteristics. There are many uncertain factors when it is controlled. The fuzzy control strategy does not need to establish controlled system's mathematical model, especially is suitable for the processing uncertainty, the misalignment, the time-dependent system. Usually as soon...
A control scheme is described to charge series-connected super capacitors for photovoltaic generation systems. Based on the features of the super capacitors charge, the control scheme consists of three modes, i.e., the constant current charge mode, the constant power charge mode, and the constant voltage charge mode. The shift of three modes can be realized by controlling the duty of IGBT in the Boost-Buck...
