A re-configuring sliding-mode controller with a ustable robustness
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004)
In this paper a controller design method for underwater vehicles is presented which is based on re-configuration of a sliding-mode controller in case of disturbances caused by shallow water conditions. The disturbance ...
Optimal input design for the detection of changes towards unknown hypotheses
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2004)
The effects of auxiliary input signals on detecting changes in ARMAX processes via statistical tests are discussed. Two extensions to the Cumulative Sum Test are considered. The first is applicable when the direction of ...
Modeling the optical properties of WO(3) and WO(3)-SiO(2) thin films
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2008)
The optical properties and surface morphology of sol-gel spin coated WO(3) and WO(3)-SiO(2) composite films annealed at 250 and 400 degrees C are investigated. For the purpose of extracting the optical parameters of the ...
Electrochromic properties of heat-treated thin films of CeO2-TiO2-ZrO2 prepared by sol-gel route
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2008)
CeO2-TiO2-ZrO2 thin films were prepared using the sol-gel process and deposited on glass and ITO-coated glass substrates via dipcoating technique. The samples were heat treated between 100 and 500 degrees C. The heat ...
Outage Scaling Laws and Diversity for Distributed Estimation Over Parallel Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2009)
We consider scaling laws of the outage for distributed estimation problems over fading channels with respect to the total power and the number of sensors. Using a definition of diversity which involves a fixed number of ...
Performance of Distributed Estimation Over Unknown Parallel Fading Channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2008)
We consider distributed estimation of a source in additive Gaussian noise observed by sensors that are connected to a fusion center with unknown orthogonal (parallel) flat Rayleigh fading channels. We adopt a two-phase ...
Optical and structural properties of sol-gel made Ce/Ti/Zr mixed oxide thin films as transparent counter electrode for electrochromic devices
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2008)
Ce/Ti/Zr mixed oxide thin films were prepared using sol-gel process with mole ratios from 45/5 to 5/45 of Ti/Zr and 50 of Cc and deposited by dip coating technique. Optical electrochromic and structural properties of such ...
Optical and structural properties of Ta2O5-CeO2 thin films
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2007)
In this study the sol-gel spin-coating method has been used to make Ta2O5-CeO2 thin films. These films have been prepared in various composition ratios to observe changes in their optical and structural properties. Reflectance ...
Slow release of trapped homopolymers from a swelling polymeric gel: A fluorescence study
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2008)
In-situ steady-state fluorescence experiments were performed for studying slow release of pyrene-labeled polystyrene chains from polystyrene gels formed by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization. Atom transfer radical ...
Influence of pH on the optical and structural properties of spin coated CeO2-TiO2 thin films prepared by sol-gel process
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2007)
Optical and structural properties of mixed CeO2-TiO2 thin films have been investigated by varying the pH of the coating sol. The films were prepared by sol-gel process using spin-coating technique with a spin speed of 2500 ...
