Fast Error-Free Algorithms for Polynomial Matrix Computations
(1990)
Polynomial matrices over fields and rings provide a unifying framework for many control system design problems. These include dynamic compensator design, infinite dimensional systems, controllers for nonlinear systems, and ...
On the Redundant-Drive Backlash-Free Robotic Mechanisms
(1990)
In this paper, we introduce a new and innovative concept for the control of backlash in gear-coupled robotic mechanisms. The concept utilizes redundant unidirectional drives to assure positive coupling of gear meshes at ...
On the Stiffness of a Novel Six-DOF Parallel Minimanipulator
(1995)
The dimensionally-uniform Jacobian matrix of a novel three- limbed, six degree-of-freedom (DOF) minimanipulator is used to derive its dimensionally-uniform stiffness matrix.<P>The minimanipulator limbs are inextensible and ...
Convergence of a Neural Network Classifier
(1990)
Kohonen's Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is a neural network architecture that performs nonparametric classification. It classifies observations by comparing them to k templates called Voronoi vectors. The locations ...
A Multibody Analog of Dual-Spin Problems
(1990)
In the field of spacecraft altitude control and stabilization, the dual-spin maneuver has an important place. Here, we consider a problem which is a multibody analog of the dual-spin problem. The dynamical equations are ...
Creating Creativity for Everyone: User Interfaces for Supporting Innovation
(1999)
A challenge for human-computer interaction researchers and user interface designers is to construct information technologies that support creativity.This ambitious goal can be attained by building on an adequate understand-ing ...
A NEW Method to Design Broadcast Schedules in a Wireless Communication Environment
(1996)
Wireless data broadcasting is a promising way of disseminating information to a massive number of clients in an asymmetric communication environment where client-to-server communication is infeasible. An important issue ...
Modeling and Control of Continuous Free Radical Polymerization Reactors
(1991)
Nonlinear dynamics of continuous stirred tank reactors for free radical polymerization of styrene have been studied with complex initiator systems such as a binary mixture of monofunctional initiators and bifunctional ...
Supporting Creativity with Advanced Information-Abundant User Interfaces
(1999)
A challenge for human-computer interaction researchers and user interface designers is to construct information technologies that support creativity. This ambitious goal can be attained if designers build on an adequate ...
ATM in Hybrid Networks
(1996)
A discussion of the extensions or modifications required to integrate ATM into hybrid networks, i.e. seamlessly interconnected terrestrial and space, wireline and wireless networks will be presented. In this context, the ...
