Mathematical modeling represents an efficient method allowing us to examine properties of a researched object. This article will present the design of an analytic model of a jet engine (MPM-20 engine in particular) that will be used to set the operational envelope of the engine for further use in a control system that will be limited by this envelope.
A half-year field study of the thermal environment in rural houses in Western Sichuan Province was conducted from Jan. 2009 to Aug. 2009. In this recent study the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) is justified to be improper to some free-running buildings until some necessary revision is made. What's more, the study indicates that the distinctive deviation between the PMV and Thermal Sensation Vote (TSV)...
Due to multi-collinearity of the traditional aircraft's magnetic inference model, it is difficult to estimate the parameters of model accurately. And the magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) in airborne is affected too. Because of the time-domain characteristics of magnetic target, the magnetic signal of target was considered as a kind of short-time signal. Using the statistical characteristics of aircraft's...
Stabilization of an unstable system with an unknown actuator delay of substantial length is an important problem that has never been attempted. We present a Lyapunov-based adaptive control design, prove its stability and regulation properties for the plant and actuator states, and present a simulation example inspired by the problem of control of pitch and flight path rates in the unstable X-29 aircraft.
Agents that operate in the real world have to make decisions on how long they can deliberate before they act. If the agent deliberates for too long, the agent may miss a deadline or the environment may change such that the preconditions for acting may no longer hold true. If the agent acts too quickly without proper deliberation, it may miss opportunities or may even perform the wrong action. Artificial...
This work mainly focuses on developing a concept towards building an object-centric thermal mapping (OCT Map) environment based on the use of wireless sensor networks. The sensor network is represented through infrastructural sensors of any functional space like the cool-room or a food-store. These sensors facilitate initial values for the calculation of the temperature at a given location within...
