Recent noise at work regulations in the EU (2003) have been established to prevent noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). This imposes better performance results to traditional feedback active noise control (ANC) in motorcycle helmets, which suffer from well known limitations. Here two new ideas are applied to this problem. First, an hybrid (feedforward/feedback) linear time invariant (LTI) controller... View full abstract»

• ### Finite-State Input Shaping

Publication Year: 2010, Page(s):664 - 672
Cited by:  Papers (9)
| | PDF (913 KB) | HTML

Input shaping is an effective method for suppressing motion-induced oscillation in flexible systems. This technique works well on systems with continuously-variable actuation. However, many systems only have a finite number of actuation states. For example, some relay-driven cranes have three actuation states: off, low-speed, and full speed. The discretizing effect of finite-state actuation can re... View full abstract»

Control strategies have been developed for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) that minimize fuel consumption while satisfying a charge sustaining constraint. Since one of the components of an HEV is typically the ubiquitous internal combustion engine, tailpipe emissions must also be considered. This paper uses shortest-path stochastic dynamic programming (SP-SDP) to address the minimization of a weigh... View full abstract»

• ### Adaptive PI Stabilization of Switched Power Converters

| | PDF (383 KB) | HTML

Linear proportional-integral (PI) controllers are widely used in power converter applications. In a recent paper, a methodology to design such controllers ensuring asymptotic stability was proposed. The technique relied on the basic fact that if an affine system can be rendered passive with a constant control, then it is stabilizable with a PI. A structural condition was imposed then on the power ... View full abstract»

This paper presents an internal model control (IMC) design for lightly-damped systems subject to periodic exogenous signals. For such systems, the conventional design of the so-called IMC filter in the IMC structure can result in oscillatory behavior even when the closed-loop transfer function is designed to be well damped. To circumvent this problem, several band-pass filters are incorporated int... View full abstract»
