Fröberg, Joakim. "Engineering Automotive Electronic Systems: Decision Support for Successful Integration." Doctoral thesis, Mälardalen University, Department of Computer Science and Electronics, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mdh:diva-459.
Повний текст джерелаThe electronic system of a modern vehicle is essential to achieve a successful automotive product. Vehicle development is performed by integrating components that include embedded electronics from several suppliers.
This thesis present results on the subject of integration of automotive electronic systems. Our studies aim at providing knowledge on how to integrate automotive electronic systems successfully in a setting where vehicles are developed based on existing platforms. We focus on early phases of automotive electronic system development and in particular on the decisions taken in integration of electronic sub-systems. The contribution is the presented support for making decisions to successfully integrate electronic systems for modern vehicles. The contribution includes an overview of driving factors of automotive electronics system design, a validated set of success practices for the integration of electronic components, and the proposal and demonstration of a decision model. The influential factors and the validated set of practices stems from case studies of products and projects while the proposed decision model is a result of combining two general models for architecture analysis and decision making, ATAM and AHP.
We demonstrate that choices in strategy and design preceding integration are central to achieve a successful integration. Our studies show that problems arise from omitted strategy decisions and we provide a checklist for decision making in the areas; functionality, platform, integration design, and assigning responsibilities. We provide a recommendation that we validate in a multiple cases study where fulfillment of recommendations is demonstrated to affect project success in integration projects.
The potential gain for OEMs using our results lies in achieving more solid foundations for design decisions. Designers and managers could potentially find central decisions on integration strategy early that, if omitted, could cause delays. Thus, applying the result could avoid pitfalls and enable successful integration projects.

The ballot battles of the 2000 US Presidential Election clearly indicate that existing voting technologies and processes are not sufficient to guarantee that every eligible voter is granted their right to vote and implicitly to have that vote counted, as per the fifteenth, nineteenth, twenty fourth and twenty sixth amendments to the US constitution [1-3]. Developing a voting system that is secure, correct, reliable and trustworthy is a significant challenge to current technology [3, 4]. The Secure Architecture for Voting Electronically (SAVE) demonstrates that N-version programming increases the reliability and security of its systems, and can be used to increase the trustworthiness of systems. Further, SAVE demonstrates how a viable practical approach to voting can be created using N-version programming. SAVE represents a significant contribution to voting technology research because of its design, and also because it demonstrates the benefits of N-version programming and introduces these benefits to the field of voting technology.

The current power management technology baseline does not address the increasing gap between system charge performance and functionality needs in a smartphone. This gap can eventually inhibit further increases in functionality and develop a balancing loop effect that reduces smartphone growth rates. Longer smartphone operation duration between recharging is currently being addressed with the introduction of low power circuit chips, low power displays and power management software. This thesis explores options that improve overall power management by looking at the power source and recharging methods. This thesis also explores technology transitions and management strategies that address the different multi-mode interactions between technology transitions.

The automobile innovation transformed the human life style ever since its introduction to the public, and for over the last one hundred years incumbent technologies have been adopted to improve its performance characteristics. Yet, we need a holistic approach to understand that automobiles shifted from being a mere assembly of mechanical parts to a multidisciplinary system that form the modern automobile. Thanks to the increased use of electronics and software in automobiles, consumers benefit from better gas mileage, more amenities and features, such as comfort, driving assistance, and entertainment. At the same time, stability and performance of automobiles as systems have been facing deterioration, and eventually vehicle owners are finding that features and functions become inoperative over time, causing frustration, loss of time and money. Reports of problems experienced by vehicle owners have stem from casual factors of system defects that model-based systems engineering can reduce or eliminate. This research presents a model-based systems engineering approach to an automobile electronic system design. The work is founded on a comprehensive OPM model and engineering guidelines for electronic control module software design. The purpose of the framework developed in this study is to support development of complex vehicle software that allows flexibility for changing features and creating new ones, and enables software developers to pinpoint systemic faults quicker and at earlier lifecycle phases, reducing rework, increasing safety, and providing for more effective resolution of such problems.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The high pace of technological advancement enables the realisation of ever more advanced mobile communications standards with more functionality than simple voice communications. The hardware that is used to implement the radio sections of these systems generally require long design cycles, much longer than the design cycles of the other components of a communications system. Another problem is that, once new communications standards are introduced, the current hardware platforms used in the terminal equipment becomes obsolete because they can generally not be used with the new standards. This has serious cost implications for both the service provider and the consumer, because both parties have to acquire new equipment to be able to use the new standards. An elegant solution to the above issues is to use software-defined radio sections to replace the hardware radio components. New communications standards can then be supported by simply loading new software onto the equipment, provided the maximum processing capacity of the processor(s) that the software runs on can accommodate the bandwidth requirements of that specific standard. This thesis investigates the ideas behind software defined radio and also describes the design and implementation of a software architecture that can be used to implement software defined radios on general-purpose platforms such as personal computers.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hoë tempo van tegnologiese vordering maak dit moontlik om baie gevorderde mobiele kommunikasie standaarde te implementeer wat meer funksionaliteit bied as blote spraakkommunikasie. Die hardeware wat gebruik word om die radios van sulke stelsels te implementeer neem gewoonlik langer om te ontwikkel as die ander komponente van die stelsels. Die ander probleem is dat hierdie hardeware gewoonlik nie hergebruik kan word wanneer nuwe kommunikasie standaarde in gebruik geneem word nie omdat die standaarde nie versoenbaar is nie. Dit het tot gevolg dat beide die verbruiker en die diensverskaffer groot bedrae geld moet spandeer om die nuwe tegnologie te kan gebruik. 'n Elegante oplossing vir hierdie probleme is om gebruik te maak van radios waarvan die funksionaliteit in sagteware gedefiniëer word. Nuwe kommunikasie standaarde kan dan gebruik word deur slegs die nodige sagteware op die toerusting te laai, solank die verwerkingskapasiteit van die mikroverwerkers in die stelsel die benodigde bandwydte kan akkommodeer. Hierdie tesis ondersoek die konsepte van sagteware-gedefiniëerde radio en beskryf die ontwerp en implementering van 'n sagteware argitektuur vir die implementering van sagteware-gedefiniëerde radios op veeldoelige platforms soos persoonlike rekenaars.

Повний текст джерелаMany environments employ time switches to control the operation of electrical machinery and appliances. These devices are generally expensive and require extensive wiring and individualised treatment. The need therefore arises for a more efficient and economical control system that will not be subjected to the limitations found in conventional remote control systems. This thesis describes a universal remote control system developed to suitably replace conventional systems prone to various limitations and restrictions. The system is "mains borne" and therefore makes use of the mains wiring for interconnectivity. The term "Mains borne" refers to the communicating medium interconnecting the various components.

Повний текст джерелаThe imaging of platiniferous reefs in the Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC) is of great economical and sociological importance. Borehole radar technology has been identified as a viable mapping tool to be used in day-to-day mining operations, but a critical assessment has to be made on the feasibility of this postulation. The system analysis made of the borehole radar deployed in the BIC is presented in this dissertation. The analysis is done using a specific example - the GeoMole borehole radar system. A novel procedure, based on the basic theory of electromagnetic radiation and propagation, is proposed by which the entire physical radar system can be characterized. The power transmitted by an unconventional borehole-deployed transmitter is estimated by a sequence of free space measurements, numerical simulations and theoretic derivations and approximations. Antenna transfer functions (magnitude and phase) are numerically simulated for a variety of deployment configurations. The total system transfer function of the receiver analogue and digital chain is determined. This enables the calculation of the radar's performance figures necessary to determine the applicability of the radar in a specific geological setting. A radar system is only complete when considered in its environment. The BIC is a stratified system of numerous rock layers. An in-depth study is done on the propagation of radiowaves in stratified lossy media. Only the case for non-magnetic media is discussed in this dissertation. The developed theory is used to predict the system response to a typical transmitted radar pulse in the UG1 - UG2 stratigraphy of the BIC, determine the maximum detection range of reef horizons and estimate the reflectivity of the reefs. Resolution is one of the key parameters that determine the performance and accuracy of imaging. An algorithm is proposed, developed and tested by which the resolution of the system is increased and overlapping echoes become resolvable. Even though some of the techniques are developed with a specific system in mind, the applicability of the concepts and algorithms is universal.

Повний текст джерелаThe use of older and slower protocols has become increasingly difficult to justify due to the rapid pace at which telecommunications are advancing. To keep up to date with the latest technologies, the communications system must be designed to accommodate the transparent insertion of new communications standards in all the stages of a system. The system should, however, also remain compatible with the older standards so as not to demand an upgrade of the older systems. The concept of a software defined radio was introduced to overcome these problems. In a software defined radio system, the functionality of the communications system is defined in software, which removes the the need for alterations to the hardware during technology upgrade. To maintain interoperatibilty, the system must be based on a standardised architecture. This would further allow for enhanced scalability and provide a plug-andplay feature for the components of the system. In this thesis, generic signal processing software components are developed to illustrate the creation of a basic software modem that can be parameterised to comply fully, or partially, to various standards.

Many different forms of electronic waste recycling systems now exist worldwide, and the amount of related legislation continues to increase. Numerous approaches have been proposed including landfill bans, extended producer responsibility (EPR) and advance recovery fee (ARF) funded recycling systems. In order for policymakers and system architects to establish the optimal recycling system for their location, they need to know how to evaluate the performance of existing systems, and furthermore, how to use this information to design new systems. This thesis addresses the question: How does the physical system architecture of e-waste systems influence system performance? Specifically, it focuses upon the physical system architecture of collection site density and distribution. This thesis presents a systematic methodology developed with the Materials Systems Laboratory for characterizing recycling systems. Case studies of existing e-waste systems operating in Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, the Canadian province of Alberta and the US States of California, Maine and Maryland are examined for correlations between the environmental and financial performance of existing systems with respect to both the context and the architectural options of those systems. The case study analysis furthermore informs the construction of a model of e-waste systems. This model, which examines architectural choices in collection, transport, processing and system management of e-waste, is used to predict the environmental and financial performance of theoretical e-waste systems for a given location. The model was intentionally developed to be both broad, in order to encompass all pieces of recycling systems, and general, such that many different types of systems, both real and hypothetical, can be analyzed. Following an application of the model to several different combinations of system architecture and context, policy recommendations are made regarding the construction and evaluation of e-waste systems in various locations.

Повний текст джерелаIn this thesis measurement systems for the purpose of characterization of radio frequency power amplifiers are studied. Methods to increase the speed, accuracy, bandwidth, as well as to reduce the sampling requirements and testing cost are presented. A method intended for signal shaping with respect to peak to-average ratio reduction and its effects-improvements on the radio frequency front-end performance is investigated.
A time domain measurement system intended for fast and accurate measurements and characterization of radio frequency power amplifiers is discussed. An automated, fast and accurate technique for power and frequency sweep measurements is presented. Multidimensional representation of measured figure of merits is evaluated for its importance on the production-testing phase of power amplifiers.
A technique to extend the digital bandwidth of a measurement system is discussed. It is based on the Zhu-Frank generalized sampling theorem which decreases the requirements on the sampling rate of the measurement system. Its application for power amplifiers behavioral modeling is discussed and evaluated experimentally.
A general method for designing multitone for the purpose of out-of-band characterization of nonlinear radio frequency modules using harmonic sampling is presented. It has an application with the validation of power amplifiers behavioral models in their out-of-band frequency spectral support when extracted from undersampled data.
A method for unfolding the frequency spectrum of undersampled wideband signals is presented. It is of high relevance to state-of-the-art radio frequency measurement systems which capture repetitive waveform based on a sampling rate that violates the Nyquist constraint. The method is presented in a compact form, it eliminates ambiguities caused by folded frequency spectra standing outside the Nyquist band, and is relevant for calibration matters.
A convex optimization reduction-based method of peaks-to-average ratio of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signals is presented and experimentally validated for a wireless local area network system. Improvements on the radio frequency power amplifier level are investigated with respect to power added efficiency, output power, in-band and out-of-band errors. The influence of the power distribution in the excitation signal on power amplifier performance was evaluated.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Spoken dialogue systems accessed over the telephone network are rapidly becoming more popular as a means to reduce call-centre costs and improve customer experience. It is now technologically feasible to delegate repetitive and relatively simple tasks conducted in most telephone calls to automatic systems. Such a system uses speech recognition to take input from users. This work focuses on the speech generation component that a specific prototype system uses to convey audible speech output back to the user. Many commercial systems contain general text-to-speech synthesisers. Text-to-speech synthesis is a very active branch of speech processing. It aims to build machines that read text aloud. In some languages this has been a reality for almost two decades. While these synthesisers are often very understandable, they almost never sound natural. The output quality of synthetic speech is considered to be a very important factor in the user’s perception of the quality and usability of spoken dialogue systems. The static nature of the spoken dialogue system is exploited to produce a custom speech synthesis component that provides very high quality output speech for the particular application. To this end the current state of the art in speech synthesis is surveyed and summarised. A unit-selection synthesiser is produced that functions in Afrikaans, English and Xhosa. The unit-selection synthesiser selects short waveforms from a recorded speech corpus, and concatenates them to produce the required utterances. Techniques are developed for designing a compact corpus and processing it to produce a unit-selection database. Speech modification methods were researched to build a framework for natural-sounding speech concatenation. This framework also provides pitch and duration modification capabilities that will enable research in languages such as Afrikaans and Xhosa where text-to-speech capabilities are relatively immature.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Telefoniese, spraakgebaseerde dialoogstelsels word steeds meer algemeen, en is ’n doeltreffende metode om oproepsentrumkostes te verlaag. Dit is tans tegnologies moontlik om ’n groot aantal eenvoudige transaksies met automatiese stelsels te hanteer. Sulke stelsels gebruik spraakherkenning om intree van die gebruiker te ontvang. Hierdie werk fokus op die spraakgenerasiekomponent wat ’n spesifieke prototipestelsel gebruik om afvoer aan die gebruiker terug te speel. Vele kommersi¨ele stelsels gebruik generiese teks-na-spraak sintetiseerders. Sulke teksna- spraak sintetiseerders is steeds ’n baie aktiewe veld in spraaknavorsing. In die algemeen poog navorsing om teks te kan lees en om te sit in verstaanbare spraak. Sulke stelsels bestaan nou al vir ten minste twee dekades. Alhoewel heeltemal verstaanbaar, klink hierdie stelsels onnatuurlik. In telefoniese spraakgebaseerde dialoogstelsels is kwaliteit van die sintetiese spraak belangrik vir die gebruiker se persepsie van die stelsel se kwaliteit en bruikbaarheid. Die dialoog is meestal staties van aard en hierdie eienskap word benut om ho¨e kwaliteit spraak in ’n bepaalde toepassing te sintetiseer. Om dit reg te kry is die huidige stand van sake in hierdie veld bestudeer en opgesom. ’n Knip-en-plak sintetiseerder is gebou wat werk in Afrikaans, Engels en Xhosa. Die sintetiseerder selekteer kort stukkies spraakgolfvorms vanuit ’n spraakkorpus, en las dit aanmekaar om die vereiste spraak te produseer. Outomatiese tegnieke is ontwikkel om ’n kompakte korpus te ontwerp wat steeds alles bevat wat die sintetiseerder sal nodig hˆe om sy taak te verrig. Verdere tegnieke prosesseer die korpus tot ’n bruikbare vorm vir sintese. Metodes van spraakmodifikasie is ondersoek ten einde die aanmekaargelaste stukkies spraak meer natuurlik te laat klink en die intonasie en tempo daarvan te korrigeer. Dit verskaf infrastruktuur vir navorsing in tale soos Afrikaans en Xhosa waar teks-na-spraak vermo¨ens nog onvolwasse is.

The failure rate of the printed circuit board electronic testing process is higher than acceptable at a Lenze Americas factory. This thesis will understand the root causes of failure, and use system engineering methods to decide what course of action should be taken. A Tradespace analysis is used to help decompose some of the complexity into a visualization that simplifies the decision process. The Tradespace analysis suggests that more utility can be achieved by upgrading the design of existing test fixtures versus purchasing off of the shelf solutions. The second phase will identify a design concept, offer specific design solutions, and finally a fully designed system that is capable of improving the performance of the test fixtures in electronic board test area by 50%. The system is then upgradable with in-line conveyors to run autonomously decoupling the operator from the process.

Radiology is a medical specialty that employs imaging to diagnose and treat disease. It has long been an advance user of technology to capture, store, share, and use images electronically. In 2009, President Obama signed into law a measure, the HITECH Act (part of the stimulus package), that incentivizes healthcare providers to use electronic health records (EHR) in care delivery to improve quality, efficiency, safety, and reduce cost. The meaningful use (MU) program's Stage 1 requirements (part of HITECH Act) did not include imaging requirements, leading to confusion among radiologists and other specialties with regard to what MU offers to and requires of them. This thesis attempts to clarify the contribution radiology can make to MU by understanding radiology as a system, including its surrounding issues and its drivers, using Stage 1 MU requirements, data from qualitative research, and results from analysis. It answers the following question: Should Radiologists be considered part of the care team, leveraging EHR for meaningful use and hence eligible for incentive payments? It does so via the following methods: a) Discussing in detail current issues surrounding radiology systems from quality, safety, efficiency, and cost perspectives; b) Discussing MU in the context of radiology and reviewing what is missing in it for radiologists; c) Providing deeper systems analysis of current behaviors and why they have this form at this time; and d) Explaining how MU objectives can help to overcome many current issues and ultimately help to improve health outcomes. Specific changes to MU criteria to achieve these benefits are recommended. This thesis employs systems concepts and tools including system architecture and system dynamics for research and analysis to understand the system and derive hypotheses. A system dynamics model is used to analyze current drivers in imaging and to clarify the impact MU can have on these drivers. Thesis conclusions are supported by the analysis performed using the model as well as information gathered through industry interviews, online articles, academic and industry journals, and blogs.

Повний текст джерелаThe aim of this study is to analyse the operation of a wind-electric pumping system (WEPS) as an alternative to conventional mechanical wind pumps for application in stand-alone water-pumping schemes. The steady-state as well as the dynamic operation of such a system is analysed. Through these analyses, practical guidelines are given in the design and sizing of the different system components to ensure efficient and reliable operation. Theoretical analyses are supported by measured results conducted on a small scale wind-electric pump system. The limitations involved in the design and implementation of a large scale wind-electric pump system are presented through a case study. It is firstly concluded that small-scale wind-electric pump systems have the potential of offering superior performance and flexibility to conventional mechanical wind pumps. It is secondly concluded that large-scale wind-electric pump systems are best suited, in terms of economic and practical feasibility, to pumping applications with low pressures and medium to high wind regimes at the turbine installation site.

This thesis presents the development of such a data capturing system that make use of 1800MHz GSM base stations as transmitters and a mobile phone connected to a laptop as receiver. The measurements taken, are then verified against know propagation models. Datavaslegging toerusting wat gebruik word om die dekking van draadlose stelsels te toets is baie duur en moeilik bekombaar. Hierdie tesis beskryf die ontwikkeling van so ’n datavaslegger wat baie goedkoper is en maklik gebruik kan word. Dit maak gebruik van ’n sellulêr foon en GPS gekoppel aan ’n skootrekenaar, wat die ontvanger is. Cell C basis staties word gebruik as die senders. Die data wat gemeet is word dan geverifieer deur gebruik te maak van bestaande radio frekwensie voortplanting modelle.

Upgrades are aimed to improve the system's speci cations with focus on range resolution. Pulse compression and Doppler processing techniques are used to accomplish the improvement in range resolution. The use of pulse compression however resulted in numerous modi cations to the RF sub-system required by the introduction of Direct Digital Synthesizer modules. A full replacement of the existing signal processor with a Doppler processing based signal processor implemented on a single programmable rmware device was designed. Certain sections of this signal processor were implemented and tested. Pulse compression was successfully implemented and tested in both the transceiver and signals processor sections.

Повний текст джерелаThe call for the system design in this book came from a field that grew to be a part of millions of lives in this country. It is a sport which has developed to have a major infrastructure, with large sums of money involved. In fact, the money involved has made it one of the largest tax earners country wide. Due to its high development, competition has become furious and breeders will do their utmost to produce a competitor which would have the slightest edge on the next one. As most people would know by now, the discussion is about the Horse Racing Industry. During the years, owners have relied on various exercising programs and breeding of proven winners to produce new ones. To give the animal the necessary training and simply run it on experience is no longer sufficient. A more scientific approach has become necessary. There exists a need for a system whereby one could monitor certain physiological aspects of the animal. This would not only allow the physical condition of each horse to be monitored, but also allow a more effective and specialized exercise program for each individual animal to be developed, thereby not only improving its ability, but saving on time as well. Tests that were considered included ECG, temperature, and speed measurements. Existing equipment performing the first two tests require the animal to be stationary. This defeats the object of the exercise, as information should be relevant to the animal when under strain. During test periods, the ideal situation would be to allow the horse to perform its exercise routine around the track without any interference. This could best be done by monitoring all the.necessary data via a radio link and having most of the analyzing apparatus in a small and light as possible package on the animal itself.

Повний текст джерелаThe large size and complexity of the modern embedded systems pose great challenges to design and validation. At the so called electronic system level (ESL), designers start with a specification model of the system and follow a systematic top-down design approach to refine the model to lower abstraction levels step-by-step by adding implementation details. ESL models are usually written in C-based System-level Description Languages (SLDLs), and contain the essential features, such as clear structure and hierarchy, separate computation and communication, and explicit parallelism. The validation of ESL models typically relies on simulation. Fast yet accurate simulation is highly desirable for efficient and effective system design.
In this dissertation, we present out-of-order parallel discrete event simulation (OoO PDES), a novel approach for efficient validation of system-level designs by exploiting the parallel capabilities of todays multi-core PCs for system level description languages. OoO PDES breaks the global simulation-cycle barrier of traditional DE simulation by localizing the simulation time into each thread, carefully delivering notified events, and handling a dynamic management of simulation sets. Potential conflicts caused by parallel accesses to shared variables and out-of-order thread scheduling are prevented by an advanced predictive static model analyzer in the compiler. As such, OoO PDES allows the simulator to effectively exploit the parallel processing capability of the multi-core system to achieve fast speed simulation without loss of simulation and timing accuracy.
We perform simulation experiments on both highly parallel benchmark examples and real-world embedded applications, including a JPEG image encoder, an edge detector, a MP3 audio decoder, a H.264 video decoder, and a H.264 video encoder. Experimental results show that our approach can achieve significant simulation speedup on multi-core simulation hosts with negligible compilation cost.
Based on our parallel simulation infrastructure, we then propose a tool flow for dynamic race condition detection to increase the observability for parallel ESL model development. This helps the designer to quickly narrow down the debugging targets in faulty ESL models with parallelism. This approach helps to reveal a number of risky race conditions in our in- house embedded multi-media application models and enabled us to safely eliminate these hazards. Our experimental results also show very little overhead for race condition diagnosis during compilation and simulation.
Overall, our work provides an advanced parallel simulation infrastructure for efficient and effective system-level model validation and development. It helps embedded system designers to build better products in shorter time.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: System identification has been sufficiently formalized for linear systems, but not for empirical identification of non-linear, multivariate dynamic systems. Therefore this dissertation formalizes and extends non-linear empirical system identification for the broad class of nonlinear multivariate systems that can be parameterized as state space systems. The established, but rather ad hoc methods of time series embedding and nonlinear modeling, using multilayer perceptron network and radial basis function network model structures, are interpreted in context with the established linear system identification framework. First, the methodological framework was formulated for the identification of non-linear state space systems from one-dimensional time series using a surrogate data method. It was clearly demonstrated on an autocatalytic process in a continuously stirred tank reactor, that validation of dynamic models by one-step predictions is insufficient proof of model quality. In addition, the classification of data as either dynamic or random was performed, using the same surrogate data technique. The classification technique proved to be robust in the presence of up to at least 10% measurement and dynamic noise. Next, the formulation of a nearly real-time algorithm for detection and removal of radial outliers in multidimensional data was pursued. A convex hull technique was proposed and demonstrated on random data, as well as real test data recorded from an internal combustion engine. The results showed the convex hull technique to be effective at a computational cost two orders of magnitude lower than the more proficient Rocke and Woodruff technique, used as a benchmark, and incurred low cost (0.9%) in terms of falsely identifying outliers. Following the identification of systems from one-dimensional time series, the methodological framework was expanded to accommodate the identification of nonlinear state space systems from multivariate time series. System parameterization was accomplished by combining individual embeddings of each variable in the multivariate time series, and then separating this combined space into independent components, using independent component analysis. This method of parameterization was successfully applied in the simulation of the abovementioned autocatalytic process. In addition, the parameterization method was implemented in the one-step prediction of atmospheric N02 concentrations, which could become part of an environmental control system for Cape Town. Furthermore, the combination of the embedding strategy and separation by independent component analysis was able to isolate some of the noise components from the embedded data. Finally the foregoing system identification methodology was applied to the online diagnosis of temporal trends in critical system states. The methodology was supplemented by the formulation of a statistical likelihood criterion for simultaneous interpretation of multivariate system states. This technology was successfully applied to the diagnosis of the temporal deterioration of the piston rings in a compression ignition engine under test conditions. The diagnostic results indicated the beginning of significant piston ring wear, which was confirmed by physical inspection of the engine after conclusion of the test. The technology will be further developed and commercialized.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Stelselidentifikasie is weI genoegsaam ten opsigte van lineere stelsels geformaliseer, maar nie ten opsigte van die identifikasie van nie-lineere, multiveranderlike stelsels nie. In hierdie tesis word nie-lineere, empiriese stelselidentifikasie gevolglik ten opsigte van die wye klas van nielineere, multiveranderlike stelsels, wat geparameteriseer kan word as toestandveranderlike stelsels, geformaliseer en uitgebrei. Die gevestigde, maar betreklik ad hoc metodes vir tydreeksontvouing en nie-lineere modellering (met behulp van multilaag-perseptron- en radiaalbasisfunksie-modelstrukture) word in konteks met die gevestigde line ere stelselidentifikasieraamwerk vertolk. Eerstens is die metodologiese raamwerk vir die identifikasie van nie-lineere, toestandsveranderlike stelsels uit eendimensionele tydreekse met behulp van In surrogaatdatametode geformuleer. Daar is duidelik by wyse van 'n outokatalitiese proses in 'n deurlopend geroerde tenkreaktor getoon dat die bevestiging van dinamiese modelle deur middel van enkelstapvoorspellings onvoldoende bewys van die kwaliteit van die modelle is. Bykomend is die klassifikasie van tydreekse as 6f dinamies Of willekeurig, met behulp van dieselfde surrogaattegniek gedoen. Die klassifikasietegniek het in die teenwoordigheid van tot minstens 10% meetgeraas en dinamiese geraas robuust vertoon. / Vervolgens is die formulering van In bykans intydse algoritme vir die opspoor en verwydering van radiale uitskieters in multiveranderlike data aangepak. 'n Konvekse hulstegniek is V:oorgestel en op ewekansige data, sowel as op werklike toetsdata wat van 'n binnebrandenjin opgeneem is, gedemonstreer. Volgens die resultate was die konvekse hulstegniek effektief teen 'n rekenkoste twee grootte-ordes kleiner as die meer vermoende Rocke en Woodrufftegniek, wat as meetstandaard beskou is. Die konvekse hulstegniek het ook 'n lae loopkoste (0.9%) betreffende die valse identifisering van uitskieters behaal. Na aanleiding van die identifisering van stelsels uit eendimensionele tydreekse, is die metodologiese raamwerk uitgebiei om die identifikasie van nie-lineere, toestandsveranderlike stelsels uit multiveranderlike data te omvat. Stelselparameterisering is bereik deur individuele ontvouings van elke veranderlike in die multidimensionele tydreeks met die skeiding van die gesamenlike ontvouingsruimte tot onafhanklike komponente saam te span. Sodanige skeiding is deur middel van onafhanklike komponentanalise behaal. Hierdie metode van parameterisering is suksesvc1 op die simulering van bogenoemde outokatalitiese proses toegepas. Die parameteriseringsmetode is bykomend in die enkelstapvoorspelling van atmosferiese N02-konsentrasies ingespan en sal moontlik deel van 'n voorgestelde omgewingsbestuurstelsel vir Kaapstad uitmaak. Die kombinasie van die ontvouingstrategie en skeiding deur onafhanklike komponentanalise was verder ook in staat om van die geraaskomponente in die data uit te lig. Ten slotte is die voorafgaande tegnologie vir stelselidentifikasie op die lopende diagnose van tydsgebonde neigings in kritiese stelseltoestande toegepas. Die metodologie is met die formulering van 'n statistiese waarskynlikheidsmaatstaf vir die gelyktydige vertolking van multiveranderlike stelseltoestande aangevul. Hierdie tegnologie is suksesvol op die diagnose van die tydsgebonde verswakking van die suierringe in 'n kompressieontstekingenj in tydens toetstoestande toegepas. Die diagnostiese resultate het die aanvang van beduidende slytasie in die suierringe aangedui, wat later tydens fisiese inspeksie van die enjin met afloop van die toets, bevestig is. Die tegnologie sal verder ontwikkel en markgereed gemaak word.

Повний текст джерелаVarious transducers have been developed turbulent shear in the ocean. The airfoil probe with it's piezoceramic beam encapsulated in a rubber airfoil has the simplest electronic processing system. However, the beam is very fragile and displays unpredictable thermal effects. An airfoil probe with semiconductor strain gauges on an aluminium cantilever beam has been developed as an alternative to the piezoceramic beam. The probe was calibrated by exciting it with a known shear generated by the water flow from an oscillating nozzle. During the calibration the thermal sensitivity of the probe was established to be -1.7 % °C-1• The probe, along with it's high gain, low noise processing system, is fitted to a tethered free-fall vehicle. A solid state data logger situated in the vehicle is used to record the data generated by the turbulence probe and a pressure transducer. Field trials at St.Helena Bay and Hout Bay showed that the sensitivity of the system is 20 dB lower than that of similar systems using piezoceramic beams. The system is able to resolve turbulent dissipation levels above 10-8 W kg-1, making it useful in regions characterised by a typical mixed layer (dissipation level of 10-W kg-1); however, it's sensitivity is not adequate for deep sea measurements where dissipation levels may be as low as 10-10 W kg-1.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis presents the analysis, design, simulation and practical implementation of a novel control system for a variable stability blended-wing-body unmanned aerial vehicle. The aircraft has a moveable centre of mass that allows it to operate in an aerodynamically optimised minimum drag configuration during cruise flight. The primary purpose of the control system is thus to regain nominal static stability for all centre of mass positions, and then to further regulate motion variables for autonomous way point navigation. A thorough analysis of the parameters affected by the varying centre of mass position leads to the identification of the main control problem. It is shown that a recently published acceleration based control methodology can be used with minor modification to elegantly solve the variable stability control problem. After providing the details of the control system design, the customised avionics used for their practical implementation are presented. The results of extensive hardware in the loop simulations verify the functionality of the controllers. Finally, flight test results illustrate the practical success of the autopilot and clearly show how the control system is capable of controlling the variable stability aircraft at centre of mass locations where a human pilot could not.

Повний текст джерелаEtt batterilager installerat separat eller tillsammans med en solelanläggning kan användas för mer än att öka egenanvändning av solel. Smart styrning med ett Energy Management System (EMS) möjliggör leverans av systemtjänster från batterilagret till elnätet. Hypotesen i denna studie innefattar att optimering av distributionen av ett energilagers kapacitet mellan kapning av effekttoppar och leverans av systemtjänsten frekvensreglering innebär en ökning av resursens värde. EMS som designats under detta projekt består av två delar; dels en prognosmodul som prognostiserar energianvändning för att ge rekommendationer för distribuering av kapacitet, dels en modul som i realtid styr batteriet baserat på prognosmodulens rekommendationer och uppmätt data. Prognosmodulen har testats i en fallstudie av Öckerö Ishall. Fallstudiens resultat visar att EMS som konstruerats reducerar nätavgiften med 9,5% genom att minska dagens högsta effekttopp med 21%. Resultatet visar även att frekvensreglering kunde levereras under tre timmar samma dag, vilket skulle generera ytterligare intäkter.
