Virtual Diagnostic Sensors Design for an Automated Guided Vehicle

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
In recent years, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) have been playing an increasingly important role in producing industry and infrastructure and will soon arrive to other areas of human life such as the transportation of goods and people. However, several

Anti-slip control based on optimal slip ratio for heavy-haul locomotives

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
To solve the problem of wheelset slip and effectively exert locomotive traction, a protection method of anti-slip control with integral sliding mode based on optimal slip ratio is proposed.

Space and Observers in Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
I provide a prescription to define space, at a given moment, for an arbitrary observer in an arbitrary (sufficiently regular) curved space-time. This prescription, based on synchronicity (simultaneity) arguments, defines a foliation of space-time, which ...

Static Observers in Curved Spaces and Non-inertial Frames in Minkowski Spacetime [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Static observers in curved spacetimes may interpret their proper acceleration as the opposite of a local gravitational field (in the Newtonian sense).

Models for discriminating image blur from loss of contrast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Observers can discriminate between blurry and low-contrast images (Morgan, 2017). Wang and Simoncelli (2004) demonstrated that a code for blur is inherent to the phase relationships between localized pattern detectors of different scale.

Patterns of Eye Movements When Observers Judge Female Facial Attractiveness

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
The purpose of the present study is to explore the fixed model for the explicit judgments of attractiveness and infer which features are important to judge the facial attractiveness.

Dynamic Positioning System for a Ship on Harbour Manoeuvring with Different Observers. Experimental Results

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2014
In cases when the navigational space of the manoeuvre performed by the ship is severely limited, the procedures making use of the rudder blade, propeller screw, and thrusters are very complicated.

Contracting Nonlinear Observers: Convex Optimization and Learning from Data

open access: yes, 2017
A new approach to design of nonlinear observers (state estimators) is proposed. The main idea is to (i) construct a convex set of dynamical systems which are contracting observers for a particular system, and (ii) optimize over this set for one which ...

Linear, Nonlinear, and Distributed-Parameter Observers Used for (Renewable) Energy Processes and Systems—An Overview

open access: yesEnergies
Full- and reduced-order observers have been used in many engineering applications, particularly for energy systems. Applications of observers to energy systems are twofold: (1) the use of observed variables of dynamic systems for the purpose of feedback ...

Relativistic Aberration for Accelerating Observers

open access: yes, 2007
We investigate the effects of the aberration of light for a uniformly accelerating observer. The observer we consider is initially at rest with respect to a luminous spherical object--a star, say--and then starts to move away with constant acceleration ...
