Thanks to advances in mathematical methods and computer technology, labor productivity during the analysis and development of electrotechnical devices has increased. This book explores the possibilities of the Mathematica® and PSpice® program for analyzing processes in power electronic systems. The authors discuss the formulation of problems and the steps in their solution. They focus on the analysis of transient, steady-state processes and their stability in nonstationary and nonlinear systems with DC and AC converters. All problems are solved by Mathematica and program codes are presented. The PSpice program is used for comparison of results obtained with Mathematica and shows the peculiarities of its utilization.
Although they are some of the main components in the design of power electronic converters, the design of magnetic parts such as inductors and transformers is often still a trial-and-error process, and accurate design methods require a long working-in time. Inductors and Transformers for Power Electronics uses classical methods and numerical tools such as finite element methods to provide an overview of the basics and technological aspects of design. The authors present a fast approximation method useful in the early design as well as a more detailed analysis. This text offers in a single reference a concise representation of the large body of literature on the subject.

This book presents a logo recognition system based on line pattern features. To achieve the desired accuracy and efficiency, the system employs a conceptually simple three-stage hierarchy: polygonal approximation, indexing, and matching. In the first stage, raw logos are transformed into normalized line segment maps. In the second stage, effective line pattern features are used to index the database in order to generate a moderate number of likely models. The third stage, an improved line segment Hausdorff distance (LHD) measure, screens and generates the best matches.
Edited by two leading researchers and with contributions from some of the best in the field, this volume fully reflects the diversity and richness of rough fuzzy image analysis. It first explains how fuzzy, near, and rough sets provide the basis for the stages of pictorial pattern recognition. The text then discusses hybrid approaches that combine fuzzy sets and rough sets in image analysis, illustrates how to perform image analysis using only rough sets, and describes tolerance spaces and a perceptual systems approach to image analysis. It also presents a free, downloadable implementation of near sets and covers an array of applications, particularly in medical imaging.

Systems & Controls
Series: Automation and Control Engineering
Chongqing University, People’s Republic of China
This work describes nonlinear control design solutions for problems that arise from robots required to interact with and manipulate their environments. The authors use Lyapunov’s direct method as an effective tool to design and analyze controllers for robotic systems and include numerous examples that illustrate how this method addresses advanced robotics research problems. After providing a historical perspective of robotics and a review of standard robot control approaches, the book presents real-time computing and experimental test beds for implementing developed controllers. It also explores sensor-based feedback path planning, navigation, and control.
Model predictive control (MPC) differs from other control methods mainly in its implementation of a control action. Usually, MPC solves a finite-horizon optimal control problem at each sampling instant, so that the control actions for the current and a period of future time are obtained. However, only the current control move is applied to the plant. This work explains the how this useful model permits the flexibility of acting while optimizing. It details a variety of models for one and two-step control, explains state feedback synthesis approaches with and without a finite switching horizon, and open and closed-loop optimization, as well as output feedback synthesis approaches.

Ali K. Kamrani and Maryam Azimi University of Houston, Texas, USA
Series: Systems Evaluation, Prediction, and Decision-Making
Waste, inadequate system performance, cost overruns, and schedule problems often result from failure to apply advanced systems engineering early in project development. Systems engineering is a systematic method to manage the formulation, analysis, and interpretation of what a system will produce and whether the outcome is the one that is desired. This book provides detailed discussions on engineering design and management processes within system lifecycles. The text addresses various issues of systems engineering fundamentals, emphasizing an integrated approach. The author presents methods, frameworks, techniques, and tools for designing, implementing, and managing large-scale systems.
Through many real-world examples, this book shows how to implement technology transfer in society, leading technology to become socially and economically valued. It presents the mechanisms, features, effects, and modes of technology transfer. The authors address the measurement, cost, benefit, optimal allocation, and game theory of technology transfer, along with the dynamics of the technical diffusion field. They also present case studies to illustrate the use of a linear programming model and government investment and planning model, offer strategic analyses that utilize game models, and discuss the impact of technology transfer on economic growth.

A Shock-Fitting Primer presents the proper numerical treatment of shock waves and other discontinuities. It comprehensively covers various shock-fitting techniques and describes the historical path that lead to the current theory of shock waves. The author introduces key techniques using a simple scalar equation and then extends to a more complex system of equations. He also presents a simplified shock-fitting method and compares it to the standard technique. The text includes many end-of-chapter problems and examples, such as piston motion and steady supersonic flows. The accompanying CD-ROM provides MATLAB® codes that illustrate the shock-fitting techniques discussed in the book.
By discussing statistical concepts in the context of transportation planning and operations, this text provides the necessary background for making informed transportation-related decisions. It explains the why behind standard methods and uses real-world transportation examples and problems to illustrate key concepts. The book covers the statistical techniques most frequently employed by transportation and pavement professionals. To familiarize readers with the underlying theory and equations, it contains problems that can be solved using SAS’s JMP package, which enables users to interactively explore and visualize data.
