Event And Time-Triggered Control Module Layers For Individual Robot Control Architectures Of Unmanned Agricultural Ground Vehicles, Tyler Troyer Oct 2017

Event And Time-Triggered Control Module Layers For Individual Robot Control Architectures Of Unmanned Agricultural Ground Vehicles, Tyler Troyer

Department of Biological Systems Engineering: Dissertations and Theses

Automation in the agriculture sector has increased to an extent where the accompanying methods for unmanned field management are becoming more economically viable. This manifests in the industry’s recent presentation of conceptual cab-less machines that perform all field operations under the high-level task control of a single remote operator. A dramatic change in the overall workflow for field tasks that historically assumed the presence of a human in the immediate vicinity of the work is predicted. This shift in the entire approach to farm machinery work provides producers increased control and productivity over high-level tasks and less distraction from operating …


Automated Module For Characterization Of Reference Standards Of Capacitance By Impedance-Matrix Method, Satish Singh, Thomas John Jan 2017

Automated Module For Characterization Of Reference Standards Of Capacitance By Impedance-Matrix Method, Satish Singh, Thomas John

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An automated module has been developed, implemented, and validated for the characterization of four-terminal-pair capacitance standards using an impedance-matrix method. These air-dielectric capacitance standards are being used as reference or transfer standards of capacitance at high frequency across national metrology institutes worldwide. In the reported work, an automated characterization module performs the acquisition of reference capacitance and residual capacitive parameters from an ultraprecision capacitance bridge. It also acquires single-port reactances of the capacitance standard from an impedance analyzer at frequencies ranging from 40 MHz to 100 MHz. The acquired capacitive and reactance parameters are stored structurally in arrays from where …
