A Fuzzy Precompensator Design For Pd Control Of Systems With Deadzones, Jong-Hwan Kim, Jong-Hwan Park, Seon-Woo Lee, Edwin K. P. Chong Apr 1993

A Fuzzy Precompensator Design For Pd Control Of Systems With Deadzones, Jong-Hwan Kim, Jong-Hwan Park, Seon-Woo Lee, Edwin K. P. Chong

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Simple conventional control methods, such as PD and PID controllers, are widely used in industrial applications. Such controllers exhibit poor performance when applied to systems containing nonlinearities arising from unknown deadzones. In this report, we propose a novel fuzzy logic-based precompensation approach for controlling systems with deadzones. The control structure consists of a fuzzy logic-based precompensator followed by a conventional PD controller. Our proposed control scheme shows superior transient and steady-state performance compared to conventional PD and PID controllers. In addition, the scheme is robust to variations in deadzone nonlinearities, as well as the steady-state gain of the plant. We …

A Parallel Implementation Of Backpropagation Neural Network On Maspar Mp-1, Faramarz Valafar, Okan K. Ersoy Mar 1993

A Parallel Implementation Of Backpropagation Neural Network On Maspar Mp-1, Faramarz Valafar, Okan K. Ersoy

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

One of the major issues in using artificial neural networks is reducing the training and the testing times. Parallel processing is the most efficient approach for this purpose. In this paper, we explore the parallel implementation of the backpropagation algorithm with and without hidden layers [4][5] on MasPar MP-I. This implementation is based on the SIMD architecture, and uses a backpropagation model which is more exact theoretically than the serial backpropagation model. This results in a smoother convergence to the solution. Most importantly, the processing time is reduced both theoretically and experimentally by the order of 3000, due to architectural …


Classification Of Multispectral Image Data With Spatial-Temporal Context, Byeungwoo Jeon, David Landgrebe Mar 1993

Classification Of Multispectral Image Data With Spatial-Temporal Context, Byeungwoo Jeon, David Landgrebe

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Pattern recognition technology has had a very important role in many fields of application including image processing, computer vision, remote sensing, etc. The advent of more powerful sensor systems should enable one to extract far more detailed information than ever before from observed data, but to realize this goal requires the development of concomitant data analysis techniques which can utilize the full potential of the observed data. This report investigates classification using spatial and/or temporal contextual information. Although contextual information has been an important and powerful data analysis clue for the human-analyst, the lack of a good contextual classification scheme …

Meta-State Conversion, H. G. Dietz Jan 1993

Meta-State Conversion, H. G. Dietz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In MIMD (Multiple Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream) execution, each processor has its own state. Although these states are generally considered to be independent entities, it is also possible to view the set of processor states at a particular time as single, aggregate, "Meta State." Once a program has been converted into a single finite automaton based on Meta States, only a single proram counter is needed. Hence, it is possible to duplicate the MIMD execution using SIMD (Single Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream) hardware without the ovehead of interpretation or even of having each processing element keep a copy …


A Spectral Flux Method For Solving The Boltzmann Equation, Muhammad A. Alam, Mark A. Stettler, Mark S. Lundstrom Jan 1993

A Spectral Flux Method For Solving The Boltzmann Equation, Muhammad A. Alam, Mark A. Stettler, Mark S. Lundstrom

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

A spectral method for solving the Boltzmann equation by the scattering matrix approach is presented, The algorithm discussed can be used to simulate both bulk and device properties with arbitrary field profiles. Although the primary goal is to reduce the data storage problem of the scattering matrix approach, many of the concepts and mathematical properties developed may be useful for other traditional spectral methods as well.

Concentration‐Dependent Optical‐Absorption Coefficient In N‐Type Gaas, Gregory Benedict Lush, H. F. Macmillan, S. Asher, Michael R. Melloch, Mark S. Lundstrom

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The doping-dependent, near-band-edge optical-absorption coefficient CY(h v) was deduced from optical transmission measurements in n-type GaAs thin films. The selenium-doped films were grown by metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition and do ed to produce room-temperature electron concentrations from 1.3 x 10” to 3.8X 1018 cm- P . The transmission measurements covered photon energies between 1.35 and 1.7 eV and were performed on double heterostructures with the substrate removed by selective etching. The results show good qualitative agreement with previous studies and good quantitative agreement, except for the heavily doped samples. For na=3.8 X 10” cme3, a( 1.42 eV> is approximately four times …

Time-Optimal Trajectories For Cooperative Multi-Manipulator Systems, Seungbin B. Moon, Shaheen Ahmad Jan 1993

Time-Optimal Trajectories For Cooperative Multi-Manipulator Systems, Seungbin B. Moon, Shaheen Ahmad

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this paper we present two schemes for planning the time-optimal trajectory for cooperative multi-manipulator system(CMMS) carrying a common object. We assume that the desired path is given and parameterizable by an arclength variable. Both approaches take into account the dynamics of the manipulators and the dynamics of the object. The first approach employs linear programming techniques, and it allows us to obtain the timeoptimal execution of the given task utilizing the maximum torque capacities of the joint motors. The second approach is a sub-time-optimal method which is computationally very efficient. In the second approach we try to divide the …


Feature Extraction And Classification Algorithms For High Dimensional Data, Chulhee Lee, David Landgrebe Jan 1993

Feature Extraction And Classification Algorithms For High Dimensional Data, Chulhee Lee, David Landgrebe

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this research, feature extraction and classification algorithms for high dimensional data are investigated. Developments with regard to sensors for Earth observation are moving in the direction of providing much higher dimensional multispectral imagery than is now possible. In analyzing such high dimensional data, processing time becomes an important factor. With large increases in dimensionality and the number of classes, processing time will increase significantly. To address this problem, a multistage classification scheme is proposed which reduces the processing time substantially by eliminating unlikely classes from further consideration at each stage. Several truncation criteria are developed and the relationship between …
