<p>In this paper, an innovative algorithm of identification of control system, described by irrational transfer function with distributed parameter characteristics - with irrational components, is proposed. Algorithm is based on real interpolation method (RIM). Parameters of irrational transfer function can be identified by its experimental transient responses. Each of them can be represented by an analytic expression, table or graph. The proposed method is computationally efficient, simple and practical, as is illustrated by numerical examples. In the furure, the method can be used for tuning the controller and for direct application construction of adaptive controllers, working on the identification principle.</p>

Optimal Approximation, Simulation and Analog Realization of the Fundamental Fractional Order Transfer FunctionThis paper provides an optimal approximation of the fundamental linear fractional order transfer function using a distribution of the relaxation time function. Simple methods, useful in systems and control theories, which can be used to approximate the irrational transfer function of a class of fractional systems for a given frequency band by a rational function are presented. The optimal parameters of the approximated model are obtained by minimizing simultaneously the gain and the phase error between the irrational transfer function and its rational approximation. A simple analog circuit which can serve as a fundamental analog fractional system is obtained. Illustrative examples are presented to show the quality and usefulness of the approximation method.

The passivity property of a noncollocated single-link flexible manipulator with a parameterized output is studied. The system can be characterized by either the irrational transfer function of an infinite-dimensional model or its truncated rational transfer functions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for these transfer functions to be passive are found. It is also shown that a non-passive, marginal minimum-phase, truncated transfer function can be rendered passive by using either the root strain feedback or the joint angular acceleration feedback. For the noncollocated truncated passive transfer function, a PD controller suffices to stabilize the overall system. Numerical results are given to show the efficacy of the proposed approaches.

The goal of imaging the finest detail possible in biological specimens leads to contradictory requirements for the choice of an electron dose. The dose should be as low as possible to minimize object damage, yet as high as possible to optimize image statistics. For specimens that are protected by low temperatures or for which the low resolution associated with negative stain is acceptable, the first condition may be partially relaxed, allowing the use of (for example) 6 to 10 e/Å2. However, this medium dose is marginal for obtaining the contrast transfer function (CTF) of the microscope, which is necessary to allow phase corrections to the image. We have explored two parameters that affect the CTF under medium dose conditions.Figure 1 displays the CTF for carbon (C, row 1) and triafol plus carbon (T+C, row 2). For any column, the images to which the CTF correspond were from a carbon covered hole (C) and the adjacent triafol plus carbon support film (T+C), both recorded on the same micrograph; therefore the imaging parameters of defocus, illumination angle, and electron statistics were identical.

Two main problems in high resolution electron microscopy are first, the existence of gaps in the transfer function, and then the difficulty to find complex amplitude of the diffracted wawe from registered intensity. The solution of this second problem is in most cases only intended by the realization of several micrographs in different conditions (defocusing distance, illuminating angle, complementary objective apertures…) which can lead to severe problems of contamination or radiation damage for certain specimens.Fraunhofer holography can in principle solve both problems stated above (1,2). The microscope objective is strongly defocused (far-field region) so that the two diffracted beams do not interfere. The ideal transfer function after reconstruction is then unity and the twin image do not overlap on the reconstructed one.We show some applications of the method and results of preliminary tests.Possible application to the study of cavitiesSmall voids (or gas-filled bubbles) created by irradiation in crystalline materials can be observed near the Scherzer focus, but it is then difficult to extract other informations than the approximated size.
