Evaluation matrix with the speed feature based on double inspiriting control lines

Methods of the comprehensive evaluation have been studied for many years. However, the change speed of evaluated objects was rarely considered by the existing evaluation methods. An evaluation matrix is proposed to remedy this deficiency. Firstly, the change speed state （CSS） of the evaluated objects is analyzed based on double inspiriting control lines （DICLs）, and a matrix of the CSS is constructed. Then, 72 elements in the matrix are analyzed, and formulas describing each CSS are given. The efficiency of the proposed evaluation matrix is proved when the CSS merges with the change speed trend （CST） in the dynamic comprehensive evaluation. Finally, a computing example shows that the proposed evaluation matrix is feasible in the dynamic comprehensive evaluation with the speed feature.

An 80-GHz DCO utilizing improved SC ladder and promoted DCTL-based hybrid tuning banks

An 80-GHz DCO based on modified hybrid tuning banks is introduced in this paper.To achieve sub-MHz frequency res-olution with reduced circuit complexity,the improved circuit topology replaces the conventional circuit topology with two binary-weighted SC cells,enabling eight SC-cell-based improved SC ladders to achieve the same fine-tuning steps as twelve SC-cell-based conventional SC ladders.To achieve lower phase noise and smaller chip size,the promoted binary-weighted digi-tally controlled transmission lines(DCTLs)are used to implement the coarse and medium tuning banks of the DCO.Compared to the conventional thermometer-coded DCTLs,control bits of the proposed DCTLs are reduced from 30 to 8,and the total length is reduced by 34.3%(from 122.76 to 80.66μm).Fabricated in 40-nm CMOS,the DCO demonstrated in this work fea-tures a small fine-tuning step(483 kHz),a high oscillation frequency(79-85 GHz),and a smaller chip size(0.017 mm^(2)).Com-pared to previous work,the modified DCO exhibits an excellent figure of merit with an area(FoMA)of-198 dBc/Hz.

Developing of robot flexible processing system for shipbuilding profile steel

A robot flexible processing system of shipbuilding profile steel was developed. The system consists of computer integrated control and robot. An off line programming robot was used for marking and cutting of shipbuilding profile steel. In the system the deformation and position error of profile steel can be detected by precise sensors, and figure position coordinate error resulted from profile steel deformation can be compensated by modifying traveling track of robotic arm online. The practical operation results show that the system performance can meet the needs of profile steel processing.

Lines cluster approaching mode control for air-breathing hypersonic vehicle under disturbances and uncertainties

This paper investigates the velocity and altitude tracking control problem for airbreathing hypersonic vehicle(AHV)in the presence of external disturbances and parameter uncertainties.A composite controller containing improved lines cluster approaching mode control(LCAMC)and nonlinear disturbance observer(NDO)is developed to guarantee the tracking errors converge to zero and enhance the robustness of control system.Meanwhile,considering the multiple uncertain parameters,a genetic algorithm(GA)based Pareto uncertainty estimation is employed to predict the parameter uncertainties of the AHV dynamics.Besides,the mathematical proofs of proposed method are analyzed by utilizing Lyapunov theory.Simulation results demonstrate the effective tracking performance,excellent disturbance estimation and uncertainty estimation ability of the composite method.

The study on artificial intelligence(AI) methods for tuning of particle accelerators has been reported in many literatures.This paper presents tuning method for agent-based control systems of transport lines in the case of sensor/actuator failures.The method uses model-based tracking concept to relax the demand on sensor data.The condition for successful operation of the stated scheme is derived,and the concept is demonstrated through simulation by applying it to the model of microtron,transport line-1 and booster of indus accelerator.The results show that this approach is very effective in transport line control during sensor/actuator failures.

Design of replica bit line control circuit to optimize power for SRAM

A design of a replica bit line control circuit to optimize power for SRAM is proposed. The proposed design overcomes the limitations of the traditional replica bit line control circuit, which cannot shut off the word line in time. In the novel design, the delay of word line enable and disable paths are balanced. Thus, the word line can be opened and shut off in time. Moreover, the chip select signal is decomposed, which prevents feedback oscillations caused by the replica bit line and the replica word line. As a result, the switch power caused by unnec- essary discharging of the bit line is reduced. A 2-kb SRAM is fully custom designed in an SMIC 65-nm CMOS process. The traditional replica bit line control circuit and the new replica bit line control circuit are used in the designed SRAM, and their performances are compared with each other. The experimental results show that at a supply voltage of 1.2 V, the switch power consumption of the memory array can be reduced by 53.7%.
