A new floating emulator for the flux-controlled memristor is introduced in this paper. The proposed emulator circuit is very simple and consists of only two current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs), two analog multipliers, three resistors, and two capacitors. The emulator can be configured as an incremental or decremental type memristor by using an additional switch. The mathematical model of the emulator is derived to characterize its behavior. The hysteresis behavior of the emulator is discussed in detail, showing that the pinched hysteresis loops in v-i plane depend not only on the amplitude-to-frequency ratio of the exciting signal but also on the time constant of the emulator circuit itself. Experimental tests are provided to validate the emulator’s workability.

In this paper, four instrumentation amplifier (IA) topologies, one of which is current-mode (CM) while the others are voltage-mode (VM), are presented. Three of the IAs use one to two current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs) while the other one employs only a single NMOS transistor. One of the IA circuits, given as an example, is simple while others are novel. The CM IA is composed of only grounded resistors which have some advantages in integrated circuit (IC) process. Non-ideality effects such as non-ideal gain and parasitic impedances on the performance of introduced IAs are discussed. In order to show the performance of the circuits, we perform experimental tests and simulations by using SPICE program.

A multistable local active meminductor emulator is proposed in this paper. The mathematical model of the emulator circuits is established. Different periodic stimuli are applied to the presented emulators and coexisting stable pinched hysteresis loops are obtained. The results obtained by experimental equips are consistent with the theoretical analysis, which indicates that the proposed emulators can work as a meminductor.

A generalized memristor consisting of a memristive diode bridge with a first order parallel RC filter is proposed in this letter. The mathematical model of the circuit is established and its fingerprints are analyzed by the pinched hysteresis loops with different periodic stimuli. The results verified by experimental measurements indicate that the proposed circuit is a simple voltage-controlled generalized memristor.

Among other things, passive methods based on the processing of images of feature points or beacons captured by an image sensor are used to measure the relative position of objects. At least two cameras usually have to be used to obtain the required information, or the cameras are combined with other sensors working on different physical principles. This paper describes the principle of passively measuring three position coordinates of an optical beacon using a simultaneous method and presents the results of corresponding experimental tests. The beacon is represented by an artificial geometric structure, consisting of several semiconductor light sources. The sources are suitably arranged to allow, all from one camera, passive measurement of the distance, two position angles, the azimuth, and the beacon elevation. The mathematical model of this method consists of working equations containing measured coordinates, geometric parameters of the beacon, and geometric parameters of the beacon image captured by the camera. All the results of these experimental tests are presented.

A novel ducted turbine, referred to as a Wind Tower, for capturing wind power in either residential or commercial scale applications is studied theoretically and experimentally. A mathematical model is developed to predict the flow behavior inside the tower and a velocity coefficient is defined to correct the results at different test conditions. A wind tower prototype, including a four-quadrant-peak wind-catcher rooftop, a tower, a nozzle, and a turbine, is designed and fabricated. The captured wind power values from the mathematical model and the preliminary experimental tests are compared. While the mathematical model provides a good estimation of the output power in some cases, more precise experimental tests and simulation techniques are required to improve the mathematical model in some other cases. Significant changes in the output wind speed due to pressure differences created by the surrounding environment, the tower height, and the number of nozzles are observed. The advantages of being maintenance free, reliable, and sustainable, together with its special design that eliminates bird/bat mortality make the Wind Tower a promising solution for residential, commercial, and even off-grid applications.

In this paper is presented a new mathematical model which is intended to simulate the hysteretic phenomenon of SERB-C Romanian friction device for damping and dissipation of earthquake energy used for buildings. These devices have unusual shape of force-displacement loop which can be simulated with our new model which represents a specific adaptation of the well known Bouc-Wen hysteretic model. The purpose of this analytical simulation is to determine a relation for the hysteretic loop which was obtained by experimental tests performed by the authors. The mathematical model presented in this paper can be used in computational simulation of a building protected with these types of devices, in order to determine the anti-seismic performances of a Romanian friction building protection system.

Locally active memristors with multiple coexisting pinched hysteresis loops have attracted the attention of researchers. However, the currently reported multiple coexisting pinched hysteresis loops memristors are obtained by adding additional piecewise-linear terms into the original Chua corsage memristor. This paper proposes a novel locally active memristor by introducing a polynomial characteristic function into the state equation. The novel memristor has three coexisting pinched hysteresis loops, large relative range of active region and simple emulator circuit. The characteristics of the novel memristor such as power-off plot, coexisting pinched hysteresis loops and DC [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] plot are studied. The memristor is used in a Chua chaotic system to investigate the effects of locally active characteristic on the chaotic oscillation system. Furthermore, the memristor emulator and chaotic system are designed and implemented by commercial circuit elements. The hardware experiments are consistent with numerical simulations.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to solve the shortage of carrying energy in probing robot and make full use of wind resources in the Antarctic expedition by designing a four-wheel land-yacht. Land-yacht is a new kind of mobile robot powered by the wind using a sail. The mathematical model and trajectory of the land-yacht are presented in this paper. Design/methodology/approach – The mechanism analysis method and experimental modeling method are used to establish a dual-input and dual-output mathematical model for the motion of land-yacht. First, the land-yacht’s model structure is obtained by using mechanism analysis. Then, the models of steering gear, servomotors and force of wing sail are analyzed and validated. Finally, the motion of land-yacht is simulated according to the mathematical model. Findings – The mathematical model is used to analyze linear motion and steering motion. Compared with the simulation results and the actual experimental tests, the feasibility and reliability of the proposed land-yacht modeling are verified. It can travel according to the given signal. Practical implications – This land-yacht can be used in the Antarctic, outer planet or for harsh environment exploration. Originality/value – A land-yacht is designed, and the contribution of this research is the development of a mathematical model for land-yacht robot. It provides a theoretical basis for analysis of the land-yacht’s motion.
