Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWireless Control of Vehicle Mirror System Using Head Movement and PIC MicrocontrollerNidal F. Shilbayeh, Mahmoud Z. IskandaraniA PIC controlled IR system for the control car mirror system movement is designed and implemented. The designed and built system allows the side view mirrors to be adjusted based on the driver head movement. The infrared based head tracking system maps a predetermined coordinates for head movements and results in a triangularly computable geometry which is fed to the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimization of Load Oscillations in Travelling Mechanisms of CranesKamal KhandakjiThe paper presents an analysis of suspended load (cargo) oscillations in traveling mechanisms of cranes. A special control algorithm has been developed in order to get minimum cargo oscillations in minimum transient time. Mathematical model simulating the effect of the suggested control algorithm on cargo oscillations has been developed. Two power electronic circuits applicable for AC drives with three-phase induction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,672 accessesView PDFCite
