Based on an analysis of cost reduction using the method of John Deere, it was found that this may decrease from 46.00-28.50% of the total cost. Thus, there was a question how to mange the agricultural machinery. … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower System Oscillations Damping Using Unified Power Flow Controller-Based StabilizerLokman H. Hassan, M. Moghavvemi, Haider A.F. MohamedProblem statement: The Phillips-Heffron model of a power system with UPFC published by AJAS, demonstrates the effect of the UPFC in improving power system oscillation stability. Unfortunately, some of the equations have not been correctly derived and so working with this model in its existing form is misleading. Approach: In this study, the model is revisited and the equations are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptable User Interface Based on the Ecological Interface Design Concept for Multiple Robots Operating Works with UncertaintyHiroshi FurukawaProblem statement: When supervising a team of semi-autonomous robots, the operator’s task is not only the manipulation of each robot but also achievement of the top goal that is assigned to the entire team of humans and robots.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Self-Tuning Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Based On Taguchi MethodM. Santhakumar, T. AsokanProblem statement: Conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers exhibit moderately good performance once the PID gains are properly tuned. However, when the dynamic characteristics of the system are time dependent or the operating conditions of the system vary, it is necessary to retune the gains to obtain desired performance. This situation has renewed the interest of researchers and practitioners in PID control. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
