This paper presents a new stability analysis method for nonlinear processes with Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs). The design of the FLCs is based on heuristic fuzzy rules. The stability analysis of these fuzzy control systems is performed using LaSalle's invariant set principle with non-quadratic Lyapunov candidate function. This paper proves that if the derivative of Lyapunov function is negative semi-definite in the active region of each fuzzy rule, then the overall system will ...

The purpose of this study was to identify the formation interfaces from geophysical well log data using the wavelet transform, and a combination of the wavelet transform and the Fourier transform methods. In the wavelet transform method, the identification of formation interfaces is based on the wavelet coefficients from the wavelet transform of spontaneous potential (SP) log and gamma ray (GR) log data. In the combination of the wavelet transform and the Fourier transform methods, the wavelet transform, ...

This paper proposes a new fuzzy control solution employing 2-DOF proportional-integral-fuzzy controllers dedicated to a class of servo systems. The controlled plants in these systems, widely used in mechatronics applications, can be characterized by second-order dynamics with integral type. The original design method suggested here starts with linear design results in terms of the extended symmetrical optimum method accompanied by an iterative feedback tuning (IFT) algorithm. Next, these results ...

The article, which is a segment of a complex wind energy examination, uses statistical methods to analyze the time series of monthly average wind speed in the period between 1991 and 2000 measured on seven Hungarian meteorological stations. Empirical distribution of measured monthly average wind speeds is approximated by theoretical distributions to claim that certain distributions are universal, i.e. independent of orography. We used one of them, the Weibull distribution, to generate the distribution ...

Potential wind power for a given period (e.g. a day) can be determined from wind speed data measured in certain hours of a period. Obviously, the sum of the cubes of wind speeds measured depends on the number of measurements. This dependence can be reduced in two ways: determining the average and the relative wind energy for a given time within a given period. The method of sliding averages uses both. Applying this method a given hourly average wind speed cube of a day is estimated on the basis of ...

The paper suggests a new mathematical construction for the potential field used in the design of obstacle avoiding trajectories. The main benefits of the proposed construction are the quickness of minimum computation and the compensation for the main drawbacks specific to the "traditional approaches" belonging to the potential field method in general. The potential field definition and its minimum computation concept are presented. Next the concept is included in a design method for obstacle avoiding ...

A good deal of work has been done over the years trying to demonstrate the feasibility or superiority of automatic indexing techniques. (1--8) Most of these techniques are designed for natural language systems, i. e., systems which have an uncontrolled vocabulary. While they incorporate many desirable features, they also have some disadvantages.

In this paper, a method of detecting object outlines and creating surface traces using a low-cost distance measurement array of infrared light-emitting diode (LED)-photodiode pairs is demonstrated. For each active LED, the light level on the corresponding photodiode may be measured, generating an image of distance values whose pixel resolution is limited to the spacing between LED-photodiode pairs. Moreover, using several photodiodes to detect the reflected light from each LED, lateral resolution ...

This paper suggests an original heuristic modelling algorithm expressed in terms of homogenous combinations of the classical system dynamics and the Bayesian degree of truth employed in modelling. The main benefits of the proposed approach compared to classical modelling are the increased transparency and alleviated computational time. Two case studies, dealing with a mobile robot and an unforced pendulum system, are included to exemplify and test the theoretical results. One of the case studies ...

Abstract Scientifically significant sites are the source of, and long‐term repository for, considerable amounts of data—particularly in the natural sciences. However, the unique data practices of the researchers and resource managers at these sites have been relatively understudied. Through case studies of two scientifically significant sites (the hot springs at Yellowstone National Park and the fossil deposits at the La Brea Tar Pits), I developed rich descriptions of site‐based research and data ...

Using the interpolation/extrapolation skills of the core function of an iterative adaptive controller, a structurally simple single essential layer neural network-based topological structure is suggested with fast and explicit single-step teaching and data-retrieving abilities. Its operation does not assume massive parallelism, therefore it easily can be simulated by simple sequential program codes not needing sophisticated data synchronization mechanisms. It seems to be advantageous in approximate ...

IntroductionCooperative robotics is a currently intensively investigated area of science. Great development in technology has attracted research interest in many countries on this subject. It is caused by availability of reliable, efficient and inexpensive components of mobile robots. In addition, some tasks can be executed more efficiently using multiple simple, low-cost mobile robots instead of one bigger robot. Multi-robot systems have a wide range of applications: service robots, transportation, ...

One way that has been used for identifying and estimating threshold autoregressive (TAR) models for nonlinear time series follows the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach via the Gibbs sampler. This route has major computational difficulties, specifically, in getting convergence to the parameter distributions. In this article, a new procedure for identifying a TAR model and for estimating its parameters is developed by following the reversible jump MCMC procedure. It is found that the proposed ...

In a smart city, technologies are designed to assist people in their everyday lives, like in intelligent homes, public transportation, and e-services. However, this can lead to new kind of marginalisation if people do not fit into the idea of smart citizen. In this article, I consider how the smart city ideology of Oulu in northern Finland becomes lived in the everyday practices of senior citizens; and how they sense themselves as “smart citizens.” Through generating ethnographic composition of ICT- ...

During secondary migration, the tendency towards a thermodynamic minimization of the hydrocarbon‐water interfacial energy can result in the confinement of petroleum in open fractures and coarser pores, in spite of the repeated conversion of gravitational energy into interfacial energy. A discussion of lithological influences leads to the prediction that migration in granular porosity is likely to end in trapping or dispersal, whereas migration in brittle, compact formations, which are little fractured, ...

Trained raters can reliably identify vent-blocking in ultralight cigarettes based on tar stain patterns, yet detection of this phenomenon has not been previously studied in light cigarettes. This study was conducted to extend the research on vent-blocking in ultralight cigarettes to the much more popular light cigarettes. We wanted to find out if individuals could discriminate among stain patterns on cigarette butts with unblocked (0%), partially blocked (50%), and fully blocked (100%) vents using ...

Screening documents is a tedious and time-consuming aspect of high-recall retrieval tasks, such as compiling a systematic literature review, where the goal is to identify all relevant documents for a topic. To help streamline this process, many Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) methods leverage active learning techniques to reduce the number of documents requiring review. BERT-based models have shown high effectiveness in text classification, leading to interest in their potential use in TAR workflows. ...
