Since the solving process of hydraulic dynamic simulation is complex and computational ineffectiveness,the aero-engine actuators real-time modeling is presented in this paper. Combined with the precise model, the convergence of the model and flow coefficient is analyzed. The real-time model operates a number of solving processes in one 20ms simulation cycle and the convergence of fix-step algorithm is guaranteed by adjusting the relevant parameters. The simulation shows that the real-time model can improve the computational efficiency with satisfactory real-time performance and precision.

Aero-engine real-time models are widely used in control system design, integration, and testing. They can be used as the basis for model-based engine intelligent controls and health management, which is critical to improve engine safety, reliability, economy, and other performance indicators. This article provides an up-to-date review on aero-engine real-time modeling methods, model adaptation techniques, and applications for the last several decades. Besides, future research directions are also discussed, mainly focusing on the following four areas:(1) verification of the aero-engine real-time model over the full flight envelope; (2) better balance between real-time performance and accuracy in simplified methods for the aero-thermodynamic component level models; (3) further improvement in the real-time performance for the identified nonlinear models over the full flight envelope; (4) improvement of hybrid on-board adaptive real-time models combining the advantages of both model-based and data-based on-board adaptive real-time modeling methods.

Shelf life can be simply defined as the duration of that the food remains acceptable for consumption. Determining shelf life of a product, thus, has become essential in quality control because consumer’s demands for safe and high quality products have increased. Accelerated shelf life testing (ASLT), which subjects the food to environments that are more severe than normal to speed up the deterioration process, has long been used in shelf life studies because it can help make decisions more quickly by minimizing time and it minimizes costs. The criterion used to determine shelf life can be the changes in either physical, chemical, biological or sensory characteristics. This study used sensory descriptive properties as the primary criteria to investigate the validity of using Accelerated Shelf Life Testing (ASLT) to determine shelf life of four extruded fortified blended foods (FBFs) compared to a real time model. The real-time environment was set at 300C and 65% relative humidity, based on the weather in Tanzania, the expected location of product use. The ASLT environment was at 500C and 70% relative humidity based on a Q factor of 2, which was equivalent to a one-week ASLT equals onemonth real time. The samples were evaluated for aroma and flavor by a highly trained descriptive panel for 3 time points in each shelf life model. Among the eighteen attributes tested, rancid and painty were the main sensory criteria to determine the shelf life of the products. The ASLT shelf life predictive model was consistent with the real time shelf life for three of the samples. However, it failed to predict the real time shelf life of the fourth similar sample. This affirms the essential use of real time modeling in shelf life study for a new product, even when an accelerated model has been developed for other similar products in the same category. ASLT testing can still be used, but only for early guidance or after validation.

This paper reports on the latest application of a generic time-dependent real-time simulation tool, originally developed for fuel cell gas turbine hybrid systems, and now applied to an actual micro gas turbine test rig. Real-time modeling is a recognized approach for monitoring advanced systems and improving control capabilities: applications of real-time models are commonly used in the automotive and aircraft fields. The overall objective is improving of calculation time in existing time-dependent simulation models, while retaining acceptable accuracy of results. The real-time modeling approach already applied to fuel cell gas turbine systems has here been validated against the experimental data from the micro gas turbine Turbec T100 test rig in Savona, Italy. The real-time model of the microturbine recuperator has been newly developed to fit such an application. Two representative transient operations have been selected for verification: the heating and cooling phases of the connected volume. The results already show an acceptable agreement with measurements, and they have contributed to a better insight into performance prediction for the entire plant.

AbstractIn order to improve the real-time performance of aero-engine component-level models, an automatic fast positioning interpolation method is proposed. Based on the maximum parameter slope, this method can automatically determine the interpolation cut in point, change the disadvantage of low efficiency of traditional sequential interpolation from the starting point, effectively reduce the interpolation interval, thus greatly improving the efficiency of interpolation. The method is applied to the calculation of gas thermodynamic parameters and the interpolation of the characteristic of rotating parts ,so as to ameliorate the real-time performance of the single-stage flow path calculation of the component-level model. Simulation results show that, compared with the traditional method, the method proposed in this paper improves the fan characteristic calculation efficiency by 47.5%, reduces the time of single complete flow calculation by 74.3% when the dynamic and steady-state accuracy changes are less than 0.4%, which greatly improves the real-time performance of the component-level model.

Reconstructing hand-object interactions is a challenging task due to strong occlusions and complex motions. This article proposes a real-time system that uses a single depth stream to simultaneously reconstruct hand poses, object shape, and rigid/non-rigid motions. To achieve this, we first train a joint learning network to segment the hand and object in a depth image, and to predict the 3D keypoints of the hand. With most layers shared by the two tasks, computation cost is saved for the real-time performance. A hybrid dataset is constructed here to train the network with real data (to learn real-world distributions) and synthetic data (to cover variations of objects, motions, and viewpoints). Next, the depth of the two targets and the keypoints are used in a uniform optimization to reconstruct the interacting motions. Benefitting from a novel tangential contact constraint, the system not only solves the remaining ambiguities but also keeps the real-time performance. Experiments show that our system handles different hand and object shapes, various interactive motions, and moving cameras.

This paper presents a system in which the cluster devices are controlled by single-chip microcomputers, with emphasis on the cluster management techniques of single-chip microcomputers. Each device in a cluster is controlled by a single-chip microcomputer collecting sample data sent to and driving the device by driving data received from the same cluster management computer through COMs. The cluster management system running on the cluster management computer carries out such control as initial SCM identification, run time slice management, communication resource utilization, fault tolerance and error corrections on single-chip microcomputers. Initial SCM identification is achieved by signal responses between the single-chip microcomputers and the cluster management computer. By using the port priority and the parallelization of serial communications, the systems real-time performance is maximized. The real-time performance can be adjusted and improved by increasing or decreasing COMs and the ports linked to each COM, and the real-time performance can also be raised by configuring more cluster management computers. Fault-tolerant control occurs in the initialization phase and the operational phase. In the initialization phase, the cluster management system incorporates unidentified single-chip microcomputers into the system based on the history information recorded on external storage media. In the operational phase, if an operation error of reading and writing on a single-chip microcomputer reaches a predetermined threshold, the single-chip microcomputer is regarded as serious fault or not existing. The cluster management system maintains accuracy maintenance database on external storage medium to solve nonlinear control of specific devices and accuracy maintenance due to wear. The cluster management system uses object-oriented method to design a unified driving framework in order to enable the implementation of the cluster management system simplified, standardized and easy to transplant. The system has been applied in a large-scale simulation system of 230 single-chip microcomputers, which proves that the system is reliable, real-time and easy to maintain.

Aiming at the problem that the mixed noise interference caused by the mixed projection noise system is not accurate and the real-time performance is poor, this article proposes an adaptive system switching filtering method based on Bayesian estimation switching rules. The method chooses joint bilateral filtering and improved adaptive median filtering as the filtering subsystems and selects the sub-filtering system suitable for the noise by switching rules to achieve the purpose of effectively removing noise. The simulation experiment was carried out by the self-developed human–computer interactive projection image system platform. Through the subjective evaluation, objective evaluation, and running time comparison analysis, a better filtering effect was achieved, and the balance between the filtering precision and the real-time performance of the interactive system was well obtained. Therefore, the proposed method can be widely applied to various human–computer interactive image filtering systems.

Abstract The paper encompasses the overview of hardware architecture and the systems characteristics of the Fraunhofer driving simulator. First, the requirements of the real-time model and the real-time calculation hardware are defined and discussed in detail. Aspects like transport delay and the parallel computation of complex real-time models are presented. In addition, the interfacing of the models with the simulator system is shown. Two simulator driving tests, including a fully interactive rough terrain driving with a wheeled excavator and a test drive with a passenger car, are set to demonstrate system characteristics. Furthermore, the simulator characteristics of practical significance, such as simulator response time delay, simulator acceleration signal bandwidth obtained from artificial excitation and from the simulator driving test, will be presented and discussed.
