Abstract. In the last decades the laser beam welding (LBW) has outclassed older welding techniques in the industrial scenario. Despite the improvement in welding technology, sophisticated methods of fault detection are not commonly used in commercially available equipments yet. A recent analysis of process images have revealed the possibility to build up a real time closed loop control system. By the use of image based quality features, a feedback signal can be provided to maintain the process in the desired state. The development of the presented visual control system has been focused on the adjustment of the laser power according to the detection of the so called full penetration hole. Due to the high dynamics of the laser welding, a fast real time image processing with controlling rates in the multi kilo Hertz range is necessary to have a robust feedback control. In this paper an algorithm for the real time control of welding processes is described. It has been implemented on the Eye-RIS v1.2, a visual system which mounts a cellular structure. By applying this algorithm in real time applications, controlling rates of about 7 kHz can be reached. In the following some real time control results are also described.

The focus of this article is on implementation of real time combustion control by using an FPGA. The feedback used for the controller is the heat release. Due to the desire to avoid using division on the FPGA an alternative way of calculating the polytropic exponent is investigated. When this method is compared against using a constant exponent it shows less fluctuations in regards to cycle to cycle variations when calculating the heat release. A dual injection strategy is used and real time control is implemented on the second fuel injection. The calculated heat release is continuously compared with a reference and then the difference is converted to a duration correction of the fuel injection. This is done by a proportional controller which is initiated after the start of the second injection. By adding a perturbation on the first fuel injection the controller is shown to compensate during the second and thereby decreasing the cycle to cycle variations.

Abstract Background: A medically induced coma is an anesthetic state of profound brain inactivation created to treat status epilepticus and to provide cerebral protection after traumatic brain injuries. The authors hypothesized that a closed-loop anesthetic delivery system could automatically and precisely control the electroencephalogram state of burst suppression and efficiently maintain a medically induced coma. Methods: In six rats, the authors implemented a closed-loop anesthetic delivery system for propofol consisting of: a computer-controlled pump infusion, a two-compartment pharmacokinetics model defining propofol’s electroencephalogram effects, the burst-suppression probability algorithm to compute in real time from the electroencephalogram the brain’s burst-suppression state, an online parameter-estimation procedure and a proportional-integral controller. In the control experiment each rat was randomly assigned to one of the six burst-suppression probability target trajectories constructed by permuting the burst-suppression probability levels of 0.4, 0.65, and 0.9 with linear transitions between levels. Results: In each animal the controller maintained approximately 60 min of tight, real-time control of burst suppression by tracking each burst-suppression probability target level for 15 min and two between-level transitions for 5–10 min. The posterior probability that the closed-loop anesthetic delivery system was reliable across all levels was 0.94 (95% CI, 0.77–1.00; n = 18) and that the system was accurate across all levels was 1.00 (95% CI, 0.84–1.00; n = 18). Conclusion: The findings of this study establish the feasibility of using a closed-loop anesthetic delivery systems to achieve in real time reliable and accurate control of burst suppression in rodents and suggest a paradigm to precisely control medically induced coma in patients.

AbstractChemical mechanical planarization (CMP) pads require conditioning to maintain the surfaces yielding optimal performance. However, conditioning not only regenerates the pad surface but also wears away the pad material and slurry transport grooves. Non-optimized conditioning may result in non-uniform pad profiles, limiting the productive lifetimes of pads. A new approach to conditioning uses closed-loop control (CLC) of conditioning sweep to enable uniform groove depth removal across the pad, throughout pad life. A sensor integrated into the conditioning arm enables the pad stack thickness to be monitored in situ and in real time. Feedback from the thickness sensor is used to modify pad conditioner dwell times across the pad surface, correcting for drifts in the pad profile that may arise as the pad and disk age. Pad profile CLC enables uniform reduction in groove depth with continued conditioning, providing longer consumables lifetimes and reduced operating costs.

ABSTRACTThe use of in situ sensors to achieve real-time control of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is a rapidly evolving technology that promises to revolutionize MBE in terms of process repeatability and first-pass success, and consequently to improve the overall yield and reduce the cost of the process. To achieve robust real-time control of MBE, we have constructed a multiple-sensor control system comprising in situ sensors for substrate temperature, for effusion cell fluxes, and for the epitaxial layer composition and thickness, along with advanced software to manage the sensor information and execute sensor-feedback control algorithms. This system has been used to grow a number of different III-V semiconductor materials and device structures, including heterojunction bipolar transistors, resonant tunneling devices, and mid-IR lasers. In the present paper, we present results demonstrating control and regulation of substrate temperature and epitaxial layer composition during the growth of lattice-matched InGaAs and InA1As on InP. The control algorithms and software used in the system are described, and we discuss how the synergistic application of multiple sensors allows the regime of composition control to be expanded beyond what would be possible with only a single composition sensor.

This paper presents a new approach of real-time control of a morphing wing based on a coupled fluid-structure numerical model. The 2D extrados profile of an experimental laminar wing is morphed with the purpose to reduce drag, through extension of the laminar flow over the upper wing surface. As a first step, the active structure has been modeled, manufactured and experimentally tested under variable flow conditions in a subsonic wind tunnel (the Mach number ranges from 0.2 to 0.3 and the angle of attack from −1° to 2°). In this work, a real-time closed-loop control strategy is designed to find the optimum actuator strokes using an experimentally measured lift-to-drag ratio (feedback parameter). An extensive wind-tunnel characterization of the laminar wing prototype has been performed to design the algorithm and to set up the parameters. To calculate the initial strokes of the actuators and thus to accelerate the optimization procedure, a validated ANSYS-XFoil coupled fluid-structure numerical model is used. The robustness and efficiency of the developed real-time control system is tested under two flow conditions. The morphing wing performance obtained is slightly superior or similar to the open loop control approach proving the high performance of the numerical model. The proposed control strategy appears to be well suited to benefit from the complete morphing potential (according to the lift-to-drag ratio) of the wind tunnel prototype although higher feedback resolution is recommended from the numerical simulation algorithms.

In this paper, an effective control strategy is proposed to manage energy distribution from fuel cells and batteries for hybrid electric boat applications. The main objectives of this real-time control are to obtain fast current tracking for the batteries’ system, the DC bus voltage stability by using a fuel cell, and energy load distribution for a hybrid electric boat under varying demand conditions. The proposed control strategy is based on a combination of frequency approach and current/voltage control of interleaved boost converters to reduce the hydrogen consumption by the fuel cell and improve the quality of energy transfer. The frequency approach was dedicated to managing the DC power-sharing between the load, the fuel cell, and the batteries’ storage system by extracting the power references. The closed loop control system utilized to control the energy is based on the DC/DC converters. The performance evaluation of the proposed control strategy has been tested through a real-time experimental test bench based on a dSPACE board (DS1104).
