1.Selective synchronization of coupled bifurcating neurons for phase shift
of background oscillation
Akihiro Yamaguchi, Yutaka Yamaguti, Masao Kubo
Pages: 79 - 82
Synchronization in coupled bifurcating neurons was studied from the view
point of the selective formation of cell assembly. The bifurcating neuron
is a simple chaotic neuron that exhibits chaotic inter-spike interval dynamics
via the addition of sinusoidal background oscillation. In this research,
we...

5.Research on SVG Control Method Under Unbalanced Conditions
Zheng Zheng, Yousong Zhou, Guopeng Zhang
Pages: 97 - 100
In order to reduce the complexity of traditional methods, a PCI (Proportional
Complex Integral) controller is adopted to control SVG under unbalance-grid
condition, which has better performance than PI controller to eliminate
steady-state error to compensate nonlinear loads. Based on the •• frame,
the...

8.Self-repairing Adaptive PID Control for Plants with Sensor Failures
Masanori Takahashi
Pages: 110 - 113
This paper presents a new design method for a self-repairing adaptive PID
control system. The control system has the adaptive adjusting mechanisms
for the PID gains, and also can detect the sensor failure by self-test
using the integrator in the PID controller. Hence, for plants with unknown
parameters,...

Source Code in Real Time
Tetsuro Katayama, Keisuke Mori, Yoshihiro Kita, Hisaaki Yamaba, Kentaro
Aburada, Naonobu Okazaki
Pages: 114 - 117
Ensuring of the traceability of deliverables is one of effective methods
to secure the quality of software. It can verify that the requirements
are reflected in the programs. But it has two problems: taking much labor
and time, and causing mistakes by human handling. This paper has implemented
RETUSS...

Plus Dead-time Systems
Ryo Kurokawa, Takao Sato, Ramon Vilanova, Yasuo Konishi
Pages: 118 - 121
In this paper, we propose a new design method of a second-order plus dead-time
(SOPDT) sampled-data Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control system,
where the continuous-time plant is controlled using the discrete-time controller.
The proposed control system is designed so that the tracking performance...

11.Genetic Algorithm-Based Technique and Tool for Generating Mutants of Extended
Place/Transition Nets
Tomohiko Takagi, Shogo Morimoto
Pages: 122 - 127
An EPN (Extended Place/transition Net) is used as a formal model that represents
the behavior of software. When mutation testing is performed based on the
EPN, failures are intentionally inserted into an original EPN (EPN that
represents the expected behavior of software) in order to create mutant
EPNs....

12.Toward Artificial Intelligence by using DNA molecules
Yasuhiro Suzuki, Rie Taniguchi
Pages: 128 - 130
Molecule Robotics have been realized by using bio molecules such as DNA,
proteins, for example in Molecular Robotics Research Project [2012-17,
JSPS]; bio molecules, such as DNA or proteins are highly structured and
they already have a kind of “intelligence” and adapt to environment change.
Hence, we...

Artur Sagitov, Tatyana Tsoy, Hongbing Li, Evgeni Magid
Pages: 144 - 148
Today one of the key disadvantages of robotic surgery is a lack of a haptic
feedback, while in traditional surgery a surgeon uses human haptic senses
in all tasks. Providing robots with a haptic feedback have a high potential
of reducing time that is spent by a surgeon on suturing subtasks and helping...
