In this study, the positions of moving platform are changed by extension or shortening of the three pneumatic cylinders. The response of pneumatic cylinder is relatively slow for motor actuator and can get a good single-axis trajectory control by traditional P controller, but the trajectory tracking of platform has a delay phenomenon for angle instantly larger change. To improve this situation in this study, Fuzzy system is used in the trajectory pre-compensation. By the angle changes and the angle rates of change in Fuzzy systems, the value of a pre-compensation output and each axis value are calculated using the Jacobian matrix after compensation in each axis. Through experiments, this Fuzzy pre-compensation method is proved to be able to improve the delay situation of angle trajectory tracking.展开更多

Because of complexity of the plants, the so-called 'Standard Model' (SM)in slow control has been adopted on several tokamak machines. This model is based on a three-levelhierarchical control: 1) High-Level Control (HLC) with a supervisory function; 2) Medium-LevelControl (MLC) to interface and concentrate I/O field equipments; 3) Low-Level Control (LLC) withhard real-time I/O function, often managed by PLCs. FTU control system designed with SM concepts hasunderwent several stages of developments in its fifteen years duration of runs. The latestevolution was inevitable, due to the obsolescence of the MLC CPUs, based on VME-MOTOROLA 68030 withOS9 operating system. A large amount of C code was developed for that platform to route the dataflow from LLC, which is constituted by 24 Westinghouse Numalogic PC-700 PLCs with about 8000field-points, to HLC, based on a commercial Object-Oriented Real-Time database on Alpha/CompaqTru64platform. Therefore, we have to look for cost-effective solutions and finally a CompactPCI—Intelx86 platform with Linux operating system was chosen. A software porting has been done, taking intoaccount the differences between OS9 and Linux operating system in terms of Inter/Network ProcessesCommunications and I/O multi-ports serial driver. This paper describes the hardware/softwarearchitecture of the new MLC system, emphasizing the reliability and the low costs of the open sourcesolutions. Moreover, a huge amount of software packages available in open source environment willassure a less painful maintenance, and will open the way to further improvements of the systemitself.展开更多

The proposed antenna systemis operating at the 3.5 GHz band (3400–3600 MHz) and consists of eight antennaelements placed along two side edges of a mobile device, which meets the currenttrend requirements of full-screen smartphone devices. Each antenna element isdivided into two parts, a front part and back part. The front part consists of anI-shaped feeding line and a modified Hilbert fractal monopole antenna, whereasthe back part is an L-shaped element shorted to the system ground by a0.5 mm short stub. A desirable compactness can be obtained by utilizing the Hilbert space-filling property where the antenna element’s overall planar size printedon the side-edge frame is just (9.57 mm × 5.99 mm). The proposed MIMO antenna system has been simulated, analyzed, fabricated and tested. Based on the selfisolated property, good isolation (better than 15 dB) is attained without employingadditional decoupling elements and/or isolation techniques, which increases system complexity and reduces the antenna efficiency. The scattering parameters,antenna efficiencies, antenna gains, and antenna radiation characteristics areinvestigated to assess the proposed antenna performance. For evaluating the proposed antenna array system performance, the Envelope Correlation Coefficients(ECCs), Mean Effective Gains (MEGs) and channel capacity are calculated.Desirable antenna and MIMO performances are evaluated to confirm the suitability of the proposed MIMO antenna system for 5G mobile terminals.展开更多

文摘A compact torus injection system,KTX-CTI,has been developed for the planned injection experiments on the Keda Torus e Xperiment(KTX)reversed field pinch(RFP)device to investigate the physics and engineering issues associated with interaction between a compact torus(CT)and RFP.The key interests include fueling directly into the reactor center,confinement improvement,and the injection of momentum and helicity into the RFP discharges.The CT velocity and mass have been measured using a multichannel optical fiber interferometer,and for the first time the time evolution of the CT density profile during CT propagation is obtained.The effects of discharge parameters on the number of injected particles,CT velocity and CT density have been characterized:the maximum hydrogen CT plasma mass,m,CTis 50μg,corresponding to 30%of the mass in a typical KTX plasma;the CT velocity exceeds 120 km s-1.It is observed for the first time that multiple CTs can be produced and emitted during a very short period(<100μs)in one discharge,which is significant for the future study of repetitive CT injection,even with an ultra-high frequency.
文摘Based on the flow simulation in the condensing zone of compact spinning with lattice apron and a bead-elastic rod dynamic model of the flexible fiber,trajectories of fibers with different negative pressure are simulated by specially designed Matlab procedure.Then displacement components of fibers at YZ profile under different negative pressure conditions are extracted and compared.The results show that the fibers of different initial positions gradually converge,and are interlaced for position change in yarn cross-section,caused by the airflow in the condensing zone.Finally,compact-spun yarn with different negative pressure and conventional ring spun yarn are produced and their twists are tested.Both the results of simulation and experiments illustrate the existence of additional twists.Also the relationship between additional twists and negative pressure is verified.

文摘Negative pressure plays a very important role in compact spinning system.To know airflow field and its distribution is helpful to look into the condensing principle of fiber bundle.Therefore,computational fluid dynamics(CFD)software was used to simulate airflow field in this paper.Airflow velocity distributions both in different fiber layers and under different negative pressures were discussed.The results indicate that airflow velocity in upper layer of the fiber bundle is greater than that in lower layer.Airflow velocities in both X and Y axis directions have a positive correlation with negative pressure.It can provide a theoretical base to make high quality compact yarns in productive practice.
文摘An angle trajectory tracking of a 3-DOF （Degree Of Freedom） pneumatic motion platform by the NI Compact RIO control system was investigated. In this study, the positions of moving platform are changed by extension or shortening of the three pneumatic cylinders. The response of pneumatic cylinder is relatively slow for motor actuator and can get a good single-axis trajectory control by traditional P controller, but the trajectory tracking of platform has a delay phenomenon for angle instantly larger change. To improve this situation in this study, Fuzzy system is used in the trajectory pre-compensation. By the angle changes and the angle rates of change in Fuzzy systems, the value of a pre-compensation output and each axis value are calculated using the Jacobian matrix after compensation in each axis. Through experiments, this Fuzzy pre-compensation method is proved to be able to improve the delay situation of angle trajectory tracking.
文摘In large fusion experiments, such as tokamak devices, there is a common trendfor slow control systems. Because of complexity of the plants, the so-called 'Standard Model' (SM)in slow control has been adopted on several tokamak machines. This model is based on a three-levelhierarchical control: 1) High-Level Control (HLC) with a supervisory function; 2) Medium-LevelControl (MLC) to interface and concentrate I/O field equipments; 3) Low-Level Control (LLC) withhard real-time I/O function, often managed by PLCs. FTU control system designed with SM concepts hasunderwent several stages of developments in its fifteen years duration of runs. The latestevolution was inevitable, due to the obsolescence of the MLC CPUs, based on VME-MOTOROLA 68030 withOS9 operating system. A large amount of C code was developed for that platform to route the dataflow from LLC, which is constituted by 24 Westinghouse Numalogic PC-700 PLCs with about 8000field-points, to HLC, based on a commercial Object-Oriented Real-Time database on Alpha/CompaqTru64platform. Therefore, we have to look for cost-effective solutions and finally a CompactPCI—Intelx86 platform with Linux operating system was chosen. A software porting has been done, taking intoaccount the differences between OS9 and Linux operating system in terms of Inter/Network ProcessesCommunications and I/O multi-ports serial driver. This paper describes the hardware/softwarearchitecture of the new MLC system, emphasizing the reliability and the low costs of the open sourcesolutions. Moreover, a huge amount of software packages available in open source environment willassure a less painful maintenance, and will open the way to further improvements of the systemitself.

文摘The compact ortho-mode transducer (OMT) and compact conical corrugated horn(CCCH) are used as feeding system of the deployable dual polarizing antenna in this paper.A new stricture of double-septum in main wave guide OMT is proposed. The finite difference method in time domain (FDTD) in combination with genetic algorithms(GAs) is used to analysis and optimize this new OMT. The experiment results show that the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of this OMT and feeding system is less than 1.17 in bandwidth; the isolation between the ortho-mode ports is less than -40dB; the cross-polar level of the feed can reach -35dB and the length of the main waveguide can be reduced 50% at least.

文摘A compact self-isolated Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) antennaarray is presented for 5G mobile phone devices. The proposed antenna systemis operating at the 3.5 GHz band (3400–3600 MHz) and consists of eight antennaelements placed along two side edges of a mobile device, which meets the currenttrend requirements of full-screen smartphone devices. Each antenna element isdivided into two parts, a front part and back part. The front part consists of anI-shaped feeding line and a modified Hilbert fractal monopole antenna, whereasthe back part is an L-shaped element shorted to the system ground by a0.5 mm short stub. A desirable compactness can be obtained by utilizing the Hilbert space-filling property where the antenna element’s overall planar size printedon the side-edge frame is just (9.57 mm × 5.99 mm). The proposed MIMO antenna system has been simulated, analyzed, fabricated and tested. Based on the selfisolated property, good isolation (better than 15 dB) is attained without employingadditional decoupling elements and/or isolation techniques, which increases system complexity and reduces the antenna efficiency. The scattering parameters,antenna efficiencies, antenna gains, and antenna radiation characteristics areinvestigated to assess the proposed antenna performance. For evaluating the proposed antenna array system performance, the Envelope Correlation Coefficients(ECCs), Mean Effective Gains (MEGs) and channel capacity are calculated.Desirable antenna and MIMO performances are evaluated to confirm the suitability of the proposed MIMO antenna system for 5G mobile terminals.

文摘Real-time assessment of subgrade compaction quality poses a significant challenge in the implementation of intelligent compaction(IC).Current compaction evaluation models are confined to specific scenarios and lack robustness.This study proposes a subgrade compaction strategy that utilizes a heterogeneous dataset to estimate compaction quality across diverse scenarios while maintaining model accuracy.Field compaction tests are conducted in four distinct scenarios,considering various construction parameters.Compaction models are developed using several machine learning algorithms.The datasets are thoroughly assessed in terms of quality,diversity and similarity.The proposed model exhibits good performance in new scenarios by incorporating an additional 5%e8%of new data for retraining.The model's generalization capability is enhanced by conducting a limited number of field tests,which are labor-saving and time-efficient.The model's accuracy consistently improves across diverse scenarios and optimal algorithms.The proposed compaction strategy adopts a physics-and-data dual-driven approach,aimed at practical engineering applications and guiding the compaction procedure.
