Uncertain gain and time-delay control of 300-kW SOFC-GT
(ASME, 2021-08-18)This paper presents a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller design with the presence of an uncertain internal gain and additional time delay in the forward path of a 300 kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Gas Turbine ... -
Uncertain location routing problem (LRP) integrated to inventory considering space limitation
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)An optimal supply chain management system has a direct effect on the performance of any enterprise and could result in substantial cost savings. Successful supply chain management involves many decisions relating to the ... -
Uncertainty mitigation in feeder level power loss reduction with distributed generation
(IEEE, 2019)The grid is moving towards a system of decentralized distributed generation using a large number of small scale renewable generation resources. These resources are stochastic in nature and therefore have to be continuously ... -
Uncertainty of temperature measurements by infrared thermography for metal cutting applications
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2013-12)This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the uncertainty in the measurement of the peak temperature on the side face of a cutting tool, during the metal cutting process, by infrared thermography. The analysis considers ... -
Underlay MIMO Cognitive Radio Downlink Scheduling with Multiple Primary Users and no CSI
(IEEE, 2015-05)In this work, we proposed user selection strategies for downlink of multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) cognitive radio (CR) network. Underlay CR secondary users (SUs) are selected by cognitive base station (CBS) to ... -
Understanding abstract sketches by reinforcement learning for automated robotic assembly
(Wichita State University, 2021-12)This paper presents a method to understand and reason the spatial configuration of individual parts in an assembled model from a 2D ISO sketch for autonomous small-part assembly. When given disassembled individual parts ... -
Understanding spacesuit interaction using a wearable proximity sensing system for suit fit optimization
(Wichita State University, 2019-05)There is currently no quantitative method of measuring space suit fit for astronauts after they have put on the spacesuit. The primary concern for spacesuit fit is the hard upper torso (HUT), which is composed of a rigid ... -
Understanding spatial constraints for autonomous robotic assembly with neural logic learning
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)Spatial constraints of objects are one of the key elements that are required in industrial assembly. Robots deployed in conventional assembly lines are based on schema by referring to computer-aided design (CAD) software. ... -
Understanding the bias in Deep Learning based gender classification systems
