A Discrete Event System (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence of physical events. DESs arise in fields such as manufacturing, traffic control, and operating systems. This book presents the research work on human-computer supervision problem and DES implementation in manufacturing. Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) has received much attention since last decade. However, the problem of synthesizing computer supervisors with consideration of human interaction, has not been addressed. This book presents a framework that integrates the human interaction into supervisor synthesis. It not only provides the method for designing operator interfaces for computer supervised systems, but also forms a basis...

The book is a revised version of Ph.D. thesis focused on decentralized control. In some applications, the classical approach of controlling a large multivariable system by central controller has become unattractive and sometimes unusable for either economic or reliability reasons. The decentralized approach to the control of multivariable systems is studied in this book. The advantage of the usage of classical, well-known and verified control algorithms designed for one- dimensional systems was utilized. These algorithms become suitable for decentralized control by adding the on-line identification part. The supervisory logic can be used to increase the stability of on- line system model identification. The idea of logical supervisor is...

Research presented in this book focuses on the novel dispersion properties and some of the first-ever applications of dispersion-engineered photonic crystals. By engineering the dispersion of a 2D photonic crystal, a flat cylindrical lens was designed and fabricated, through which 2D negative refraction and 2D subwavelength imaging were experimentally demonstrated in both amplitude and phase. Further effort was then focused on materials exhibiting full 3D negative refraction due to their practical applications and theoretical interests in them. Negative refraction flat lenses provided super-resolution and curvature-free imaging, which can find potential applications in improving the performance of optical tweezers. In addition to...

Die quantitative Abbildung mechanischer Eigenschaften des menschlichen Gewebes ist Gegenstand aktueller Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Ultraschalldiagnostik. Eine Veranderung dieser Eigenschaften ist in vielen Fallen pathologischer Art, insbesondere Tumoren stellen sich haufig als Gewebeverhartungen dar. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass konventionelle bildgebende Verfahren fur die medizinische Diagnostik (Computertomographie, Magnetresonanztomographie und Ultraschall) keine direkte Messung der mechanischen Eigenschaften ermoglichen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird die Ermittlung der Materialverteilung des Gewebes als ein inverses Problem interpretiert und mit Hilfe der rekonstruktiven Ultraschall-Elastographie quantitativ durchgefuhrt.

In electromagnetism, displacement current is a quantity that is defined in terms of the rate of change of electric displacement field. Displacement current has the units of electric current density, and it has an associated magnetic field just as actual currents do. However it is not an electric current of moving charges, but a time-varying electric field. In materials, there is also a contribution from the slight motion of charges bound in atoms, polarization. The idea was conceived by Maxwell in his 1861 paper On Physical Lines of Force in connection with the displacement of electric particles in a dielectric medium. Maxwell added displacement current to the electric current term in Ampere's Circuital Law. In his 1865 paper A Dynamical...

The objective of this study was to investigate the dissolved solids buildup with increased effluent recycle in a paperboard mill. This was accomplished by studying Solvay Paperboard, a paperboard mill located in Solvay, NY, which conducted a water reduction program by effluent recycling and thereby reducing its fresh water consumption. Critical substances, those that were most detrimental for the process operation during effluent recycling, were identified and their buildup in the effluent and paperboard was investigated. To avoid the complications of the various internal loops in the process, a black box concept was adopted, in which the mill was considered as a black box and a mass balance was performed on each critical species...

The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line or Early Warning Line, was a system of radar stations in the far northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the North Coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska, in addition to the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It was set up to detect incoming Soviet bombers during the Cold War, a task which quickly became outdated when intercontinental ballistic missiles became the main delivery system for nuclear weapons. The DEW Line was the northernmost and most capable of three radar lines in Canada; the joint Canadian-US Pinetree Line ran from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, and the Mid-Canada Line ran somewhat north of this.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Distance matrices are used in phylogeny as non-parametric distance methods were originally applied to phenetic data using a matrix of pairwise distances. These distances are then reconciled to produce a tree (a phylogram, with informative branch lengths). The distance matrix can come from a number of different sources, including measured distance (for example from immunological studies) or morphometric analysis, various pairwise distance formulae (such as euclidean distance) applied to discrete morphological characters, or genetic distance from sequence, restriction fragment, or allozyme data. For phylogenetic character data, raw distance values can be calculated by simply counting the number...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A distress signal is an internationally recognized means for obtaining help. Distress signals take the form of or are commonly made by using radio signals, displaying a visually detected item or illumination, or making an audible sound, from a distance. A distress signal indicates that a person or group of people, ship, aircraft, or other vehicle is threatened by grave and imminent danger and requests immediate assistance. Use of distress signals in other circumstances may be against local or international law. For example, a single aerial flare alerts observers to the existence of a vessel in distress somewhere in the general direction of the flare sighting on the horizon but extinguishes...

Non-linear uncertain systems are difficult to model and control especially when the system has significant amount of disturbances. Achieving tight control performance in the face of poorly measured disturbance is a difficult objective. To reject the disturbances different methodologies have been proposed. The advantages and disadvantages of Internal model Control (IMC) are discussed. Hybrid control schemes has been proposed which incorporate the feedforward of the measured disturbance along with IMC. The benefits of Fuzzy Relational Model in the representation of the measurement uncertainty constitute a major portion of the book. A novel approach to defuzzification is explored which can significantly reduce the control activity. A novel...
