On the minimization of quadratic functions with bilinear constraints via augmented Lagrangians

In the present paper, a new set of necessary and sufficient conditions is given for the regulator problem with plant stability in the presence of disturbances. Significant features of these conditions are the simplicity of their statement and the immediacy of their meaning in the context of the geometric approach. The proof is based on arguments which are extensions of those developed in Part 1 for the more restricted problem of disturbance localization by dynamic compensation with stability. The sufficiency of conditions is proved by a constructive procedure, which may be used as part of an actual regulator synthesis method.This research has been supported in part by MPI, Rome, Italy.     

Instance transfer boosting for object tracking

In this paper, we propose an Instance Transfer Boosting (ITB) framework for object tracking. The proposed tracking framework tries to transfer prior knowledge from the first frame and frame t-2 regarded as source instance to frame t-1 approximately as target instance. Those instances build the online training classifier used in tracking-by-detection for frame t. The novel method presents the tracking task in the current frame from the knowledge transferred by the first frame and the previous two frames, resulting in a more robust tracker for distinguishing the object from the background. Experimental results on several public video sequences demonstrated promising performance of the proposed tracking framework in both tracking accuracy and stability.

Heteronuclear decoupling by optimal tracking

The problem to design efficient heteronuclear decoupling sequences is studied using optimal control methods. A generalized version of the gradient ascent engineering (GRAPE) algorithm is presented that makes it possible to design complex non-periodic decoupling sequences which are characterized by tens of thousands of pulse sequence parameters. In contrast to conventional approaches based on average Hamiltonian theory, the concept of optimal tracking is used: a pulse sequence is designed that steers the evolution of an ensemble of spin systems such that at a series of time points, a specified trajectory of the density operator is tracked as closely as possible. The approach is demonstrated for the case of low-power heteronuclear decoupling in the liquid state for in vivo applications. Compared to conventional sequences, significant gains in decoupling efficiency and robustness with respect to offset and inhomogeneity of the radio-frequency field were found in simulations and experiments.     

A method for characterising solids translational and rotational motions using Multiple-Positron Emission Particle Tracking (Multiple-PEPT)

Solid motion can be classified into translational motion and rotational motion; both play an important role in a wide range of engineering processes. While translational motion has been extensively studied in various systems, there is a lack of information on rotational motion, possibly due to a lack of appropriate experimental techniques. For a number of mixing processes involving heat transfer for solid–liquid mixtures, the heat transfer coefficient between solid and liquid is critical in determining process times and overall product characteristics, and is greatly dependent on both rotational and translational behaviours of the solids, which ideally need to be studied simultaneously. This paper presents a new technique, Multiple-Positron Emission Particle Tracking (Multiple-PEPT), which can follow multiple particles simultaneously through a considerable thickness of surrounding material. Both translational and rotational motions of the solid can be reconstructed. The accuracy of the method for the translational velocity was better than 10% while for the angular velocity 23% for speeds up to 0.25 m/s. Multiple-PEPT will therefore offer the possibility to study translational and rotational motions for a range of engineering systems. The potential applications of tracking solid translational and rotational motions are illustrated by an example of tracking a cubed potato in a rotating can.     

大气湍流对空间光耦合至单模光纤的影响

 根据弱湍理论,考虑湍流强度闪烁、孔径平均效应、湍流波前畸变及耦合系统跟踪误差的影响,导出了空间光到单模光纤的平均耦合效率及耦合功率起伏方差模型。根据Hufnagel-Valley 5/7折射率结构模型,对下行连接及上行连接的平均耦合效率及耦合功率起伏进行了研究。仿真结果表明,对于下行连接,随着地面接收天线孔径的增大,相对功率起伏先是由于孔径平均效应而减小,而后由于湍流波前畸变的影响而逐渐增大;对于上行连接,可忽略湍流波前畸变及孔径平均效应的影响。     

大气湍流中空间光至单模光纤耦合的跟踪算法

 通过模拟湍流波前的振幅起伏及相位起伏,研究了采用CCD探测器的湍流波前倾斜校正系统的空间光到单模光纤耦合功率的衰落特性,对CCD图像的跟踪算法进行了研究。仿真结果表明,在接收孔径直径与Fried 参数的比值较大时,采用质心跟踪算法的倾斜校正系统的性能很差,耦合光功率会产生严重衰落。提出了一种高斯模板匹配的倾斜校正跟踪算法,在湍流较强时,可以有效地降低耦合光功率的衰落深度,并且可以避免采用质心算法可能出现的大孔径接收性能低于小孔径的不利情况。

Stability without eigenspaces in the geometric approach: The regulator problem

The regulator problem with the plant stability condition is investigated by using new tools of the geometric approach, i.e., self-bounded controlled and self-hidden conditioned invariants, recently introduced by the authors. In this framework, a constructive procedure which solves the problem without eigenspaces is obtained. This procedure also includes a set of necessary and sufficient conditions which, compared with those previously known in the literature, are significantly simpler in their statement and more easily mechanized.This research was supported by the Italian Ministry of Education. This paper is an extended version of a communication presented at the 8th International Symposium on the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems, Phoenix, Arizona, 1987.     

Analysis of surface degradation of epoxy nanocomposite due to tracking under AC and DC voltages

The tracking phenomenon, a carbonaceous process, in epoxy nanocomposite material has been studied under the AC and DC voltage in the present work. It was observed that the tracking is more severe under the DC voltages, especially under positive DC voltage when compared to negative DC voltage. The leakage current during the tracking studies was measured and moving average technique was used to characterize the trend of current flow. It was noticed that an increase in nanoclay content to epoxy resin shows a reduction in magnitude of leakage current flow during tracking test. It was also observed that the magnitude of leakage current is more under negative DC voltage compared with positive DC/AC voltage. The magnitude of leakage current and the tracking time shows inverse relationship as evident from the present study. A drastic reduction in contact angle was observed for the specimens subjected to tracking test. It was confirmed that surface discharges also cause permanent damage to the insulating material. The WAXD studies indicated that up to 5 wt% of nanoclay in epoxy resin resulted in exfoliated structure. The TEM studies were carried out on the nanocomposite structures. The TG-DTA results showed that a maximum degradation of epoxy resin occurs at around 300 °C. From the EPR study it is realized that, in the tracking formed zone the spin concentration is more in epoxy nanocomposites indicating that tracking as a damage generating process.
