In this paper we present an aircraft automatic landing system using the nonlinear energy-based control method (NEM). This technique is based on aircraft energy management. NEM is based on the passivity-based control technique (PBC) and similar to Total Energy Control Systems (TECS). A physical interpretation of the NEM controller for the system is

A human like autonomous robot which is capable to adapt itself with the changing of its environment and continue to reach its goal is considered as Humanoid Robot. These characteristics differs the Android from the other kind of robots. In recent years there has been much progress in the development of Humanoid and still there are a lot of scopes i

A new approach for determining the coefficients of a complex-valued autoregressive (CAR) and complex-valued autoregressive moving average (CARMA) model coefficients using complex-valued neural network (CVNN) technique is discussed in this paper. The CAR and complex-valued moving average (CMA) coefficients which constitute a CARMA model are computed

The use of vascular intersection aberration as one of the signs when monitoring and diagnosing diabetic retinopathy from retina fundus images (FIs) has been widely reported in the literature. In this paper, a new hybrid approach called the combined cross-point number (CCN) method able to detect the vascular bifurcation and intersection points in FI

This paper describes an experiment on Electromechanical Power Steering (EPS) system of a car.Nowadays EPS system can be considered as a Mechatronics system that reduces the amount of steering effort by directly applying the output of an electric motor to the steering system.In this paper, the constitutions, operational mechanism and control strateg

Inverted pendulum control is one of the fundamental but interesting problems in the field of control theory. This paper describes the steps to design various controllers for a rotary motion inverted pendulum which is operated by a rotary servo plant, SRV 02 Series. In this paper some classical and modern control techniques are analyzed to design th

In recent times, the introduction of complex-valued neural networks (CVNN) has widened the scope and applications of real-valued neural network (RVNN) and parametric modeling techniques. In this paper, new expert systems for automatic diagnosis and classification of diabetes using CVNN and RVNN based parametric modeling approaches have been suggest

In this paper, new methods of blood glucose (BG) level modeling and prediction using artificial intelligent (AI) based techniques have been suggested. The obtained data was windowed and normalized prior to the application of AI based modeling techniques for the estimation of appropriate model parameters. The obtained parameters can be used to predi

This paper presents the impacts of applications of cryogenic and plasma preheating used separately and in combination on chatter and machinability of stainless steel during turning. An effective cryogen delivery system was developed to supply liquid nitrogen. The low temperature of liquid nitrogen could effectively bring down the chip temperature c

The sfr3-1 mutation causes freezing-sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana. Through mapping, sequencing and transgenic complementation, sfr3-1 was revealed as a missense mutation in ACC1, which is an essential gene encoding multifunctional acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Suppression of ACC1 expression by RNA interference produced a freezing-sensitive phenotyp
