The article deals with the development of a mechatronic system for locking vehicle differentials. An important benefit of this system is that it prevents the jamming of the vehicle in difficult adhesion conditions. The system recognizes such a situation much sooner than the driver and is able to respond immediately, ensuring smooth driving in off-road or snowy conditions. This article describes the control algorithm of this mechatronic system, which is designed for firefighting, military, or civilian vehicles with a drivetrain configuration of up to 10 × 10, and also explains the input signal processing and the control of actuators. The main part of this article concerns prototype testing on a vehicle. The results are an evaluation of one of the many experiments and monitor the proper function of the developed mechatronic system.

Although the main part of the title of this meeting is ‘ Studies of the surfaces of solids by electron spectroscopy’, the papers presented also cover some of the wider aspects of these studies, and I wish to pursue some of these here. I remark first that most of the systems studied by surface-sensitive spectroscopies are not technologically important, or even interesting in their own right. What makes them important and interesting is that the solids studied are, or are related to, catalysts, and the adsorbates studied are reactants, products or intermediates in important catalytic reactions. Consequently I ask the question: what is the relevance to catalysis of studies of structure, and bonding at solid surfaces? From among the many answers that might be given, I select two.

Humidity measurement is an important link of corrosion monitoring in aircrafts and tanks. But the traditional monitor systems are not portable, can’t be real-time monitoring and other shortcomings. In order to solve these problems, a method that using a new sensor -- comb-shaped capacitive sensor in the humidity monitoring has been proposed. This method is based on electrical theory, combined with the processing of circuit, including the generation of the input signal, signal processing, and acquisition of output signal, and finally analyze the data collected to achieve the purpose of the monitoring of humidity.The problem of how to reduce the noise impact, how to simplify the theoretical calculation and other problems are considered and resolved in the design of the system.Compared with the traditional methods, the system based on this method is simple and compact because of its simple on the hardware design and the characteristics of the sensor. The experimental results show that this method has an very important significance in the atmospheric humidity monitoring.

Electronic warfare receiver works in the wide electromagnetic spectrum in dense radar signal environment. Current trends in radar systems are ultra wideband and low probability of intercept radar technology. Detection of signals from various radar stations is a concern. Performance and probability of intercept are mainly dependent on high speed ADC technology. The sampling and reconstruction functions have to be optimized to capture incoming signals at the receiver to extract characteristics of the radar signal. The compressive sampling of the input signal with orthonormal base vectors, projecting the basis in the union of subspaces and recovery through convex optimisation techniques is the current traditional approach. Modern trends in signal processing suggest the random modulator pre-integrator (RMPI), which sample the input signal at information rate non-adaptively and recovery by the processing of discrete and finite vectors. Analysis of RMPI theory, application to EW receiver, simulation and recovery of EW receiver signals are discussed.

The growing strength of the various political movements for limiting judicial authority over constitutional questions has aroused a new interest in the origin of the courts' power. Wherever the source be found, or however the practice may have developed, the authority now exercised by the United States supreme court does not determine the proper function of state courts in local cases, which is now the chief issue; but its study throws some light on the attitude that each of the three departments of government—legislative, executive and judicial—ought to assume toward the subject of constitutional law, and is of particular interest to the many citizens whose opinion of the new proposals will be more or less favorable as they appear to bring us back nearer to original ideals or to carry us farther away. The historical study is interesting also in showing that our forefathers in their discussions by no means adopted the viewpoint of most of the modern writers—of assuming that whenever a law is declared unconstitutional, the court is always right, and is performing a public service in so deciding.

SUMMARYAmong the many challenges to deal with, when a robot is interacting with its environment, friction at the contact surface and/or at the joints is one of the most important to be considered. In this paper we propose a control algorithm for the tracking of position and force (unconstrained orientation case only) of a manipulator end-effector that does not require the robot model for implementation. This characteristic has the advantage of making it capable to compensate friction effects without any previous estimation. Furthermore, no velocity measurements are needed, and the unit quaternion is employed for orientation control. Experimental and simulation results are provided.

n order to detect anomalies and improve the quality of forecasting dynamic data flows observed from sensors in Industrial Control System (ACS)., it is proposed to use a predictive mod-ule consisting of a series-connected digital signal processing unit (DSP) and a predictive unit using a neural network (predictive autoencoder ( Auto Encoder), predictive Autoencoder (PAE)). The study showed that the preliminary DSP block of the predicted input signal, consisting of a parallel set (comb) of digital low-pass filters with finite impulse responses (FIR-LPF), leads to a non-equilibrium account of the correlation relationships of the time samples of the input signal and to increase the accuracy of the final prediction result. The predicted autoencoder (PAE) pro-posed and considered in the work, in addition to restoring the input signal or part of the input signal at the PAE output, also generates the predicted samples of the input signal for the speci-fied number of «forward» time steps at the output, which increases the accuracy of the predic-tion result. The reduction of the forecast error occurs due to the imposition of restrictions in the formation of the forecast, that is, an additional requirement to restore the input samples of the samples – «stabilizers» at the NS output. The introduction of «stabilizers» increases the accuracy of the prediction result.
