In a sludge dewatering process using polymer, controlling the polymer dosage is an important factor for upgrading performance and achieving a saving on costs. A new automatic polymer dosage control method has been developed by the authors, which features the use of a streaming current detector or a colloid titrator. These detectors detect the colloidal charge of the filtrate from sludge. The said method was used with actual dehydrators and the following advantages were confirmed.(1) The said method is applicable for various types of dehydrators.(2) The said method is effective even when there are changes in sludge characteristics.(3) The said method is more economical than a conventional solids proportional control method in that less polymer is used.

On the basis of problems about quality of steel products that a certain special steel factory facing, a heat transfer model about continuous casting process was first established, then the influence of casting speed on solidification process and solidification structure of continuously cast bloom was comprehensively studied. It is shown that shell thickness leaving mold, crater length and the value of H(which is chosen as the measurement criterion of the number of the heterogeneous nucleation nucleus) are influenced most with increasing casting speed. Meantime, compared with proportional control method, solidification process of continuously cast bloom is in uniform variation with small fluctuation by target surface temperature method. What’s more, when centre solidification time is considered only, central zone macrosegregation may form more easily at last by proportional control method with increasing casting speed, but it is opposite by target surface temperature method; when the value of G/V1/2 and the value of H are considered only, the ratio of equiaxed grain will increase with increasing casting speed by proportional control method, but it is opposite by target surface temperature method.

This paper explores two optimization strategies; the gradient search and proportional control methods, for determining the initial sheet thickness of superplastic forming to ensure final desired part thickness. A hemispherical dome model was involved in the testing of both optimization methods. Also, a three-dimensional rectangular box model was optimized by the proportional control method. The gradient search technique is shown to be acceptable in terms of the optimized thickness obtained, but displays poor convergence rates. The proportional control approach presented is easy to be implemented, and yields not only more accurate sheet thickness, but much higher convergence speeds that makes such optimization possible on complex geometric models.

Robots are useful to help humans in performing jobs that require high precision, substantial labor, repetitive and dirty work, and high-risk or dangerous jobs. Those are the high-risk human jobs that a robot can do. Wheeled robots have the ability to go to the targeted position. Proportional control is used to control the movement of robots. In addition, the robot will also be equipped with PI control method to adjust the actual wheel speed of the robot. The block diagram of the obstacle-driven avoider robot consists of push button, rotary encoder, ultrasonic sensor, Atmega, IC L298D, DC Motor and Light. The results of the obstacle-driven avoider robot, wheeled robots have the ability to run in accordance with the desired black line. Proportional control is used to control the movement of robots. In addition, the robot will also be equipped with ultrasonic sensors to set the robot in avoiding obstacles. Based on the results of testing and analysis that have done, it is suggested that there is tool that can be provided to develop a more sophisticated technology like adding sensors or more features.

Because its pilot stage is a two-position tree-way valve, the previously research piezoelectric type pneumatic digital valve also constantly works in on or off state even in the case of output stable pressure, which makes the valve with pressure fluctuation, waste gas and other shortcomings. In order to overcome the above problem, a novel pneumatic digital valve driven by dual piezoelectric is presented in this thesis. And its simulation model is built based on the AMESim and Matlab/simulink joint simulation platform. On this basis, its control method is researched by the simulation. The simulation shows that the Bang-Bang and the PWM control algorithm can basically achieve the digital proportional control of the valve, but the valve has overshoot. For this, the compound control algorithm with PID plus PWM is proposed to control the valve. The simulation results show that this algorithm is effective which can reduce the pressure overshoot.

Based on model-free adaptive control theory, the heading control problem of unmanned surface vessels under uncertain influence is explored. Firstly, the problems of compact form dynamic linearization model-free adaptive control method applied to unmanned surface vessel heading control are analyzed. Secondly, by introducing proportional control and variable integral separation factor, an variable integral separation model-free adaptive control algorithm with proportional control is proposed. The introduction of proportional control and variable integral separation factor solves the problems of oscillation, instability, and integral saturation when rudder angle is controlled directly to control the heading of unmanned surface vessel with compact form dynamic linearization model-free adaptive control method. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by the simulation and field experiments results of heading control with model perturbation and system time delay in unmanned surface vessel heading subsystem.

In this study, we tried to create an object transportation system using Daphnia magna. We developed a target object for the transportation experiment using a 5-mm-diameter transparent acrylic rod with a hole in the lower part. Black film and a small white ball were attached to the top surface of the object in order to improve contrast and allow easier position detection during image processing. The daphnia were first directed to the guide point, about 10 mm opposite the desired transportation direction. They were then guided to collide with the object. If a collision did not occur, they were guided to an evasion point 5 mm to the side of the object, then back to the guidance point and directed to collide with the object once again. When the daphnia is making contact with the object, the guidance direction was compensated to the outside of the target course to transport along the target course. A compensation angle was calculated by the proportional control method. By using this control scheme, daphnia could transport an object through the seven apices (about 1.5 laps) of the star-shaped target routes.
