A Model Based Nonlinear Adaptive Controller For The Passive Bilateral Telerobotic System, Ufuk Özbay, Erkan Zergeroğlu, İlyas Kandemi̇r
A Model Based Nonlinear Adaptive Controller For The Passive Bilateral Telerobotic System, Ufuk Özbay, Erkan Zergeroğlu, İlyas Kandemi̇r
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
IIn this paper, we propose a new adaptive controller scheme for the bilateral telerobotic/teleoperation systems. The proposed controller achieves asymptotic tracking despite the parametric uncertainties associated with both master and slave robots while ensuring the passivity of the closed loop system. Extensive simulation studies are presented to illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed adaptive controller.
Experimental Investigation Of Shaft Transducerless Speed And Position Control Of Ac Induction And Interior Permanent Magnet Motors, Ömer Göksu, Ahmet Masum Hava
Experimental Investigation Of Shaft Transducerless Speed And Position Control Of Ac Induction And Interior Permanent Magnet Motors, Ömer Göksu, Ahmet Masum Hava
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In order to drive AC motors with high efficiency and high motion performance, and to provide accurate speed/position control, motor shaft speed and/or position feedback is required. For this purpose, usually transducers (encoder, tachogenerator, resolver, etc.) are installed on the shaft. However, transducers are not preferred in most of the applications since they increase the cost and decrease the reliability of the drive due to their failure prone structure and connections. In such applications, the speed and/or position information of the motor is obtained by estimation methods without using shaft transducers. In this work, motor types and speed/position estimation methods …

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications
The goal of this study was to investigate three potential ways that the soluble organic nitrogen (N) fraction of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, termed effluent organic N (EON), could contribute to coastal eutrophication - direct biological removal, photochemical release of labile compounds, and salinity-mediated release of ammonium (NH4+). Effluents from two WWTPs were used in the experiments. For the bioassays, EON was added to water from four salinities (∼0 to 30) collected from the James River (VA) in August 2008, and then concentrations of N and phosphorus compounds were measured periodically over 48 h. Bioassay results, based …
Analysis And Estimation Of Motion Transmission Errors Of A Timing Belt Drive, Ergi̇n Kiliç, Meli̇k Dölen, Ahmet Buğra Koku
Analysis And Estimation Of Motion Transmission Errors Of A Timing Belt Drive, Ergi̇n Kiliç, Meli̇k Dölen, Ahmet Buğra Koku
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper focuses on viable position estimation schemes for timing belt drives where the position of the carriage (load) is to be determined via reference models receiving input from a position sensor attached to the actuator of the timing belt. A detailed analysis of the transmission error sources is presented, and a number of relevant mathematical models are developed using a priori knowledge of the process. This paper demonstrates that such schemes are very effective when the drive system is not subjected to external loads and operating conditions do not change considerably i.e. ambient temperature, belt tension.
Precise Position Control Using Shape Memory Alloy Wires, Burcu Dönmez, Bülent Özkan, Fevzi̇ Suat Kadioğlu
Precise Position Control Using Shape Memory Alloy Wires, Burcu Dönmez, Bülent Özkan, Fevzi̇ Suat Kadioğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are active metallic ``smart'' materials used as actuators and sensors in high technology smart systems [1]. The term shape memory refers to ability of certain materials to ``remember'' a shape, even after rather severe deformations: once deformed at low temperatures, these materials will stay deformed until heated, whereupon they will return to their original, pre-deformed ``learned'' shape [2]. This property can be used to generate motion and/or force in electromechanical devices and micro-machines. However, the accuracy of SMA actuators is severely limited by their highly nonlinear stimulus-response characteristics. In this work, modeling, simulation, and experimental efforts …
Design And Evaluation Of A Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator For Positioning Tasks, António Espírito Santo, Rosário Calado, Carlos Cabrita
Design And Evaluation Of A Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator For Positioning Tasks, António Espírito Santo, Rosário Calado, Carlos Cabrita
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents the development of a new linear switched reluctance actuator and confirms its applicability to perform positioning tasks. After the explanation of the actuator working principle and the presentation of its electromechanical topology, an analysis is accomplished using a finite elements tool. Based on the theoretical results, an experimental prototype that can develop 150 N was constructed. Its behaviour is observed under two different control methods implemented with microcontrollers. Initially, position is controlled applying a single pulse-driving scheme. Meanwhile, significant improvements are obtained with the introduction of a sliding-mode controller, allowing movements with 1 mm of resolution.

The Use Of Fpga In Field-Oriented Control Of An Induction Machine, Özkan Akin, İrfan Alan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, the feasibility of embedding the field oriented control (FOC) of an induction machine into field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) is investigated. An indirect FOC of an induction machine is simulated in a Matlab Simulink environment using a Xilinx System Generator implemented in a Xilinx Spartan-3 XC3S200 FPGA board. Design of the developed controller for the induction machine is simulated via a Simulink full digital platform. The resulting design has a flexible and modular structure where the designer can customize the hardware blocks by changing the number of inputs, outputs, and algorithm when it is compared to the …
Detection Of Static Eccentricity For Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using The Coherence Analysis, Mehmet Akar, Sezai̇ Taşkin, Şahi̇n Serhat Şeker, İlyas Çankaya
Detection Of Static Eccentricity For Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using The Coherence Analysis, Mehmet Akar, Sezai̇ Taşkin, Şahi̇n Serhat Şeker, İlyas Çankaya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper reports on work to detect the static eccentricity faults for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using spectral analysis methods. Measurements are carried out by collecting the stator current and voltage, torque and speed for healthy and faulty cases of the motor. Static eccentricity case is formed by changing the rotor position in the manner of sliding the shaft on a horizontal axis. As a result of the spectral analysis for the motor currents, side band effects appeared at around the fundamental frequency are determined as a most important indicator of the eccentricity. In addition to this determination, the …
Using Covariates For Improving The Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance Feature Selection Method, Olcay Kurşun, Cemal Okan Şakar, Oleg Favorov, Ni̇zametti̇n Aydin, Sadik Fi̇kret Gürgen
Using Covariates For Improving The Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance Feature Selection Method, Olcay Kurşun, Cemal Okan Şakar, Oleg Favorov, Ni̇zametti̇n Aydin, Sadik Fi̇kret Gürgen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Maximizing the joint dependency with a minimum size of variables is generally the main task of feature selection. For obtaining a minimal subset, while trying to maximize the joint dependency with the target variable, the redundancy among selected variables must be reduced to a minimum. In this paper, we propose a method based on recently popular minimum Redundancy-Maximum Relevance} (mRMR) criterion. The experimental results show that instead of feeding the features themselves into mRMR, feeding the covariates improves the feature selection capability and provides more expressive variable subsets.
Delta-Sigma Subarray Beamforming For Ultrasound Imaging, Hasan Şaki̇r Bi̇lge
Delta-Sigma Subarray Beamforming For Ultrasound Imaging, Hasan Şaki̇r Bi̇lge
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, an ultrasonic digital beamformer based on subarray processing of 1-bit delta-sigma (\Delta \Sigma ) oversampled echo signals is presented. The single-bit oversampling \Delta \Sigma conversion simplifies the coherent processing in beamforming with improved timing accuracy. Subarray processing also aims to simplify the beamforming complexity, where the partial-beam sums (low-resolution beams) are acquired from small subarrays, and then these partial beams are coherently processed for producing high-resolution beams. In the \Delta \Sigma subarray beamforming, the \Delta \Sigma coded echo signals are summed over the subarray channels, and then these partial beam-sums are first \Delta \Sigma demodulated, then processed …
Design Of Optimal Sampling Times For Pharmacokinetic Trials Via Spline Approximation, Musa Hakan Asyali
Design Of Optimal Sampling Times For Pharmacokinetic Trials Via Spline Approximation, Musa Hakan Asyali
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Understanding and comparison of different drug delivery formulations are based on pharmacokinetic parameters (PKP) such as area under curve, maximum concentration, and time to reach maximum concentration. Accurate estimation of PKP is of critical importance in capturing drug absorption and elimination characteristics and in reaching bioequivalence decisions. Since PKP are estimated from a limited number of samples, the timing of the samples directly influences the accuracy of estimation. Optimization of the sampling times may not only increase the accuracy of PKP estimation, but also reduce the number of samples to be drawn, which in turn lessens the inconvenience to the …

A Second Order Approximation To Reduce The Complexity Of Ldpc Decoders Based On Gallager's Approach, Aykut Kalaycioğlu, Oktay Üreten, H. Gökhan İlk
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A piece-wise second order approximation to the f (x) = -log [tanh (x/2)] function is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of LDPC decoder's utilizing Log-Likelihood Ratio Belief Propagation (LLR-BP) algorithm based on Gallager's approach. Simulation results show that the proposed low complexity approximation doesn't cause BER performance degradation.

A new algorithm based ANFIS for tuning the path loss model is introduced in this work. The performance of the path loss model which is obtained from proposed algorithm is compared to the Bertoni-Walfisch model, which is one of the best studied for propagation analysis involving buildings. This comparison is based on the mean square error between predicted and measured values. According to the indicated error criterion, the errors related to the predictions that are obtained …
Stpso: Strengthened Particle Swarm Optimization, Ai̇şe Zülal Şevkli̇, Fati̇h Erdoğan Sevi̇lgen
Stpso: Strengthened Particle Swarm Optimization, Ai̇şe Zülal Şevkli̇, Fati̇h Erdoğan Sevi̇lgen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we present a novel approach to strengthen Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). PSO is a population-based metaheuristic that takes advantage of individual memory and social cooperation in a swarm. It has been applied to a variety of optimization problems because of its simplicity and fast convergence. However, straightforward application of PSO suffers from premature convergence and lack of intensification around the local best locations. To rectify these problems, we modify update procedure for the best particle in the swarm and propose a simple and random moving strategy. We perform a Reduced Variable Neighborhood Search (RVNS) based local search …

An Approach Based On Particle Swarm Computation To Study The Nanoscale Dg Mosfet-Based Circuits, Fayacl Djeffal, Toufik Bendib, Redha Benzid, Abdelhamid Benhaya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The analytical modeling of nanoscale Double-Gate MOSFETs (DG) requires generally several necessary simplifying assumptions to lead to compact expressions of current-voltage characteristics for nanoscale CMOS circuits design. Further, progress in the development, design and optimization of nanoscale devices necessarily require new theory and modeling tools in order to improve the accuracy and the computational time of circuits' simulators. In this paper, we propose a new particle swarm strategy to study the nanoscale CMOS circuits. The latter is based on the 2-D numerical Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) simulation and a new extended long channel DG MOSFET compact model. Good agreement between …

Applications Of Pattern Classification To Time-Domain Signals, Crystal Ann Bertoncini
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Many different kinds of physics are used in sensors that produce time-domain signals, such as ultrasonics, acoustics, seismology, and electromagnetics. The waveforms generated by these sensors are used to measure events or detect flaws in applications ranging from industrial to medical and defense-related domains. Interpreting the signals is challenging because of the complicated physics of the interaction of the fields with the materials and structures under study. often the method of interpreting the signal varies by the application, but automatic detection of events in signals is always useful in order to attain results quickly with less human error. One method …

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Space- and time-resolved measurements of temperature and species mole fractions of nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen were obtained with a dual-pump coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) system in hydrogen-fueled supersonic combustion free jet flows. These measurements were taken to provide time-resolved fluid properties of turbulent supersonic combustion for use in the creation and verification of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models. CFD models of turbulent supersonic combustion flow currently facilitate the design of air- breathing supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) engines. Measurements were made in supersonic axi-symmetric free jets of two scales. First, the measurement system was tested in a laboratory environment using …

Joint Feature Selection And Classification For Taxonomic Problems Within Fish Species Complexes, Yixin Chen, Shuqing Huang, Huimin Chen, Henry L. Bart
Joint Feature Selection And Classification For Taxonomic Problems Within Fish Species Complexes, Yixin Chen, Shuqing Huang, Huimin Chen, Henry L. Bart
Huimin Chen
It is estimated that 90% of the world’s species are yet to be discovered and described. The main reason for the slow pace of new species description is that the science of taxonomy can be very laborious. To formally describe a new species, taxonomists have to manually gather and analyze data from large numbers of specimens and identify the smallest subset of external body characters that uniquely diagnose the new species as distinct from all its known relatives. In this paper, we present an automated feature selection and classification scheme using logistic regression with controlled false discovery rate to address …

Robert Oleniacz
In the paper, an assessment of the compliance with air emission limit values and the impact on air quality of one of the largest medical waste incinerators in Poland, with a total capacity of about 300 kg/h (two incineration lines) is presented. The assessment took the results of continuous and periodic measurements of emissions in the plant’s installation over a period of 12 months’ operation into account. For this period, a calculation was performed for the spread of air pollutants emitted by the two operating incineration lines. According to the analysis and calculations, the analysed medical waste incineration plant does …

Effect Of Spontaneous Gas Expansion And Mobilization On The Aqueous-Phase Concentrations Above A Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid Pool., Kevin G. Mumford, James Smith, Sarah E. Dickson
Sarah E Dickson
This paper presents a framework to quantify the overall variability of the model estimations of Total Polychlorinated Biphenyls (Total PCBs) concentrations in the Niagara River on the basis of the uncertainty of few model parameters and the natural variability embedded in some of the model input variables. The results of the uncertainty analysis are used to understand the importance of stochastic model components and their effect on the overall reliability of the model output and to evaluate multiple sources of uncertainty that might need to be further studied. The uncertainty analysis is performed using a newly developed point estimate method, …

Diagnosing Intermittent And Persistent Faults Using Static Bayesian Networks, Ole J. Mengshoel, Brian Ricks
Ole J Mengshoel
Both intermittent and persistent faults may occur in a wide range of systems. We present in this paper the introduction of intermittent fault handling techniques into ProDiagnose, an algorithm that previously only handled persistent faults. We discuss novel algorithmic techniques as well as how our static Bayesian networks help diagnose, in an integrated manner, a range of intermittent and persistent faults. Through experiments with data from the ADAPT electrical power system test bed, generated as part of the Second International Diagnostic Competition (DXC-10), we show that this novel variant of ProDiagnose diagnoses intermittent faults accurately and quickly, while maintaining strong …
