Analysis of Computed Torque Control Applied with Command Shaping to Minimize Residual Vibration in a Flexible-Joint Robot

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: During fast point-to-point motion, the inherent joint flexibility could be detrimental in terms of residual vibration. Aiming to minimize the vibration, the command shaping method has been developed so as to remove critical energy from the input profile at resonant frequencies. Since this method requires information of a physical model in order to find the target frequencies, the quality of the shaped command profile relies on the accuracy of the model parameter estimation. Therefore, in this work, a system identification method using Instrumental Variables is applied from the literature. Compared with the classic Ordinary Least Square method, the IV approach has successfully improved the estimation of parameters, based on simulation results. The accuracy of parameter estimation influences the command profile, as does the feedback controller. In this work, starting from a mathematical derivation with a mismatch model due to a feedback controller called Computed Torque Control, insight for the closed-loop system is given with regard to the interaction between control gains and the actual resonant frequencies. It is found that the control gain is able to modify the actual resonant frequency curve, and push it into or out of the shaping bounds which are generated from the command shaping method. Further analysis based on the simulation results shows that the overlap area between the shaping bounds and the actual frequencies affects the level of residual vibration. In light of this fact, an optimal control gain exists and is found when the estimation error is in a certain range. At the end, recommendations for choosing the control gains are provided.

Can CSR influence employees satisfaction?

Year: 2017

description: The study shows how CSR for employees may represent a special opportunity to influence: employees’ general impression of the company and expectations about how the organization treats its employees. By adopting CSR initiatives, companies may affect their communities. Though short-term benefits might be few, it is likely that the importance of CSR will increase in years to come as people become more interested in the social and environmental effects of companies There’s a debate over whether CSR initiatives, that are socially responsible or environmentally friendly improves employees’ perceptions of the company. When a company has CSR initiatives, employees are more proud of and committed to the organization. This is because the personal identities are partly tied up in the companies that person works for. The role CSR plays in enhancing a company's reputation among its own employees, subsequently boosting their motivation and engagement, is perhaps underrated, which is particularly problematic for companies that are inconsistent in their approach to implementing CSR initiatives.
Studies involving CSR have not fully explored how organizational social performance impacts individual employee behaviors. The objectives of this study are to analyze the implementation of CSR programs and its impact on employees. The main underlying proposition is that organization can influence its employee through his or her own ethical and responsible behaviour, by motivating employees in doing the same. The role of CSR on employees
is becoming more present in the business world, one of the reasons being that successful companies should attract and retain the best work force. By creating a good working environment and developing the internal CSR strategies, companies can stimulate productivity and satisfaction among employees. The research shows a model that clearly indicates that committing to CSR boosts the morale and commitment of workers in a positive way.

description: Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on downstream tasks can inadvertently erode their safety alignment, even for benign fine-tuning datasets. We address this challenge by proposing SafeMERGE, a post-fine-tuning framework that preserves safety while maintaining task utility. It achieves this by selectively merging fine-tuned and safety-aligned model layers only when those deviate from safe behavior, measured by a cosine similarity criterion. We evaluate SafeMERGE against other fine-tuning- and post-fine-tuning-stage approaches for Llama-2-7B-Chat and Qwen-2-7B-Instruct models on GSM8K and PubMedQA tasks while exploring different merging strategies. We find that SafeMERGE consistently reduces harmful outputs compared to other baselines without significantly sacrificing performance, sometimes even enhancing it. The results suggest that our selective, subspace-guided, and per-layer merging method provides an effective safeguard against the inadvertent loss of safety in fine-tuned LLMs while outperforming simpler post-fine-tuning-stage defenses.

description: In this study, we have reported key nuclear properties of weak $β$-decay processes on Yttrium isotopes for the mass number range $A = 101 - 108$. This mass region is important in astrophysical $r$-process abundances. Our study might be helpful in $r$-process simulations. We have computed charge-changing strength distributions, $β$-decay half-lives, $β$-delayed neutron emission probabilities, and $β^{-}$ (EC) weak rates under stellar conditions. We have performed microscopic calculations based on deformed proton-neutron quasi-particle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA) over a wide temperature ($10^7 - 3 \times 10^{10}$) K and density ($10 - 10^{11}$) g/cm$^3$ domain. Unique first-forbidden (U1F) transitions have been included in the calculations in addition to the allowed transitions. A significant decrease in calculated half-lives in certain cases, e.g., in $^{107}$Y ($^{108}$Y) by about 67\% (42\%), has been observed because of the contribution from U1F transitions. We have compared present results with measured and theoretical works. A good agreement of our half-lives with experimental data is observed.

description: Intervertebral discs (IVD) degenerate earlier than many other musculoskeletal tissues and will continue to degenerate with aging. IVD degeneration affects up to 80 percent of the adult population and is a major contributing factor to low back pain. Anti-sclerostin antibody is an FDA-approved treatment for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high-risk for fracture and, as a systemic stimulant of the Wnt/LRP5/b-Catenin signaling pathway, may impact the IVD. Stabilization of b-Catenin in the IVD increases Wnt signaling and is anabolic to the extracellular matrix (ECM), while deletion of b-catenin or LRP5 decreases Wnt signaling and is catabolic to the ECM. Here, we hypothesized that a reduction of Sost would stimulate ECM anabolism. Lumbar and caudal (tail) IVD and vertebrae of Sost KO and WT (wildtype) mice (n=8 each) were harvested at 16 weeks of age and tested by MRI, histology, immunohistochemistry, Western Blot, qPCR, and microCT. Compared to WT, Sost KO reduced sclerostin protein and Sost gene expression. Next, Sost KO increased the hydration of the IVD and the proteoglycan stain in the nucleus pulposus and decreased the expression of genes associated with IVD degeneration, e.g., heat shock proteins. However, deletion of Sost was compensated by less unphosphorylated (active) b-Catenin protein in the cell nucleus, upregulation of Wnt signaling inhibitors Dkk1 and sFRP4, and catabolic ECM gene expression. Consequently, notochordal and early chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs) were replaced by mature CLCs. Overall, Sost deletion increased hydration and proteoglycan protein content, but activated a compensatory suppression of Wnt signaling that may trigger chondrogenesis and may potentially be iatrogenic to the IVD in the long-term.

description: Code smells are symptoms of poor design and implementation choices. Several studies demonstrate their negative
effects on maintenance cost. Despite this, developers tend
to not refactor code smells. Almost all the current code smell
detectors and refactoring tools are based on structural information. In this paper, we conjecture that textual information, as opposed to structural information, is better aligned
with developers’ perception of code smells. In this paper,
we systematically investigate how textually or structurally
detected code smells are treated and perceived by developers. To this aim, we first conduct a mining study to obtain a
quantitative perspective. Secondly, we conduct an industrial
user study with 5 quality experts in order to qualitatively
analyze how developers perceive code smells identified using
different sources of information and whether textually or
structurally detected code smells are easier to refactor. Results clearly indicate that textually detected smells are easier
to perceive and subject to more refactoring operations.

description: We investigate the effect of pairing correlations on the computed Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions and corresponding $β$-decay half-lives. The calculations are performed for a total of 47 sd-shell nuclei, for $20 < A < 30$, employing the pn-QRPA model. Our calculations use three different values of pairing gaps computed using three different empirical formulae. The GT strength distribution and centroid values change considerably with a change in the pairing gap values. This, in turn, leads to differences in computed half-lives. The pairing gaps computed using the mass-dependent formula result in the calculated half-lives being in better agreement with the measured data.

description: Internet of Things (IoT) systems running on Microcontrollers (MCUS) have become a prominent target of remote attacks. Although deployed in security and safety critical domains, such systems lack basic mitigations against control-flow hijacking attacks. Attacks against IoT systems already enabled malicious takeover of smartphones, vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and industrial control systems. The thesis introduces a systemic analysis of previous defense mitigations to secure IoT systems. Building off this systematization, we identify two main issues in IoT systems security. First, efforts to protect IoT systems are hindered by the lack of realistic benchmarks and evaluation frameworks. Second, existing solutions to protect from control-flow hijacking on the return edge are either impractical or have limited security guarantees. This thesis addresses these issues using two approaches. First, we present BenchIoT, a benchmark suite of five realistic IoT applications and an evaluation framework that enables automated and extensible evaluation of 14 metrics covering security, performance, memory usage, and energy. BenchIoT enables evaluating and comparing security mechanisms. Using BenchIoT, we show that even if two security mechanisms have similarly modest runtime overhead, one can have undesired consequences on security such as a large portion of privileged user execution. Second, we introduce Return Address Integrity (RAI), a novel security mechanism to prevent all control-flow hijacking attacks targeting return edges, without requiring special hardware. We design and implement μRAI to enforce the RAI property. Our results show μRAI has a low runtime overhead of 0.1% on average, and therefore is apractical solution for IoT systems. This thesis enables measuring the security IoT systems through standardized benchmarks and metrics. Using static analysis and runtime monitors, it prevents control-flow hijacking attacks on return edges with low runtime overhead. Combined, this thesis advances the state-of-the-art of protecting IoT systems and benchmarking its security.

description: We introduce a generalization of parking functions in which cars are limited in their movement backwards and forwards by two nonnegative integer parameters $k$ and $\ell$, respectively. In this setting, there are $n$ spots on a one-way street and $m$ cars attempting to park in those spots, and $1\leq m\leq n$. We let $α=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_m)\in[n]^m$ denote the parking preferences for the cars, which enter the street sequentially. Car $i$ drives to their preference $a_i$ and parks there if the spot is available. Otherwise, car $i$ checks up to $k$ spots behind their preference, parking in the first available spot it encounters if any. If no spots are available, or the car reaches the start of the street, then the car returns to its preference and attempts to park in the first spot it encounters among spots $a_i+1,a_i+2,\ldots,a_i+\ell$. If car $i$ fails to park, then parking ceases. If all cars are able to park given the preferences in $α$, then $α$ is called a $(k,\ell)$-pullback $(m,n)$-parking function. Our main result establishes counts for these parking functions in two ways: counting them based on their final parking outcome (the order in which the cars park on the street), and via a recursive formula. Specializing $\ell=n-1$, our result gives a new formula for the number of $k$-Naples $(m,n)$-parking functions and further specializing $m=n$ recovers a formula for the number of $k$-Naples parking functions given by Christensen et al. The specialization of $k=\ell=1$, gives a formula for the number of vacillating $(m,n)$-parking functions, a generalization of vacillating parking functions studied by Fang et al., and the $m=n$ result answers a problem posed by the authors. We conclude with a few directions for further study.

description: The environmental comfort in offices is traditionally captured by surveying an entire workforce simultaneously, which yet fails to capture the situatedness of the different personal experiences. To address this limitation, we developed the EnviroMapper Toolkit, a data physicalisation toolkit that allows individual office workers to record their personal experiences of environmental comfort by mapping the actual moments and locations these occurred. By analysing two in-the-wild studies in existing open-plan office environments (N=14), we demonstrate how this toolkit acts like a situated input visualisation that can be interpreted by domain experts who were not present during its construction. This study therefore offers four key contributions: (1) the iterative design process of the physicalisation toolkit; (2) its preliminary deployment in two real-world office contexts; (3) the decoding of the resulting artefacts by domain experts; and (4) design considerations to support future input physicalisation and visualisation constructions that capture and synthesise data from multiple individuals.

description: Influenza virus is a prominent cause of respiratory illness in humans. Current influenza vaccines offer strain-specific immunity, while provide limited protection against drifted strains. Broad-spectrum influenza vaccines can induce broad and long-term immunity, and thus are regarded as a future direction for the development of next-generation influenza vaccines. In this study, we have conceptualized a novel mRNA-based multi-antigen influenza vaccine consisting of three conserved antigens of influenza A virus, including the ectodomain of the M2 ion channel (M2e), the long alpha helix of haemagglutinin stalk region (LAH), and nucleoprotein (NP). The vaccine design aims to enhance its potency and promote the development of a future broad-spectrum influenza vaccine. Our mRNA-based vaccine demonstrated potent humoral and cellular responses throughout the time points of the murine model, inducing viral neutralizing antibodies, antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity effect mediating antibodies and cross-reactive CD8+ T cell immune responses. The vaccine conferred broad protection against H1N1, H3N2, and H9N2 viruses. Moreover, the single-cell transcriptional profiling of T cells in the spleens of vaccinated mice revealed that the mRNA-based vaccine significantly promoted CD8+ T cells and memory T cells by prime-boost immunization. Our results suggest that the mRNA-based influenza vaccine encoding conserved proteins is a promising approach for eliciting broadly protective humoral and cellular immunity against various influenza viruses.

description: Flexible and fast-paced mass customisation cement businesses require advanced production facilities and a skilled global workforce in a COVID-19 epidemic worldwide manufacturing environment. It is a problem to measure frequently changing production lines’ productivity. This thesis introduced the classic Cobb-Douglas production methods and empirical stochastic frontier analysis tools with various sub-tools, including simulation, the voice of the house of the deployment in mass customisation, and modern production methods, etc., using trial-and-error approaches, seeking optimal return of scale for optimum resource use—minimising investment while maximising profit. Two scenarios illustrate the proposed methods. Scenario 1 closely examines the classic Cobb–Douglas production functions and develops the linear equations for the stochastic frontier analysis with technical efficiency with simulation optimisation processes, and the survey results using trial-and-error methods to study two types of geopolymer-based (metakaolin and fly ash) cement paralleling production and productivity, resulting in demand and customers’ needs in alignment with a tactic for just-in-time delivery, maximising profit. Scenario 2 closely examines the classic Cobb–Douglas production functions and develops the linear equations for stochastic frontier analysis with technical efficiency using trial-and-error methods with simulation optimisation processes and survey results to study ordinary Portland, blended Portland, and high early strength cement because of in demand and customers’ needs in alignment with a tactic for just-in-time delivery, maximising profit and minimising resources use. The main findings are the classic Cobb–Douglas production function is suitable for either labour- or machine-intensive traditional cement manufacturing. The empirical stochastic frontier function is a functional equation which requires multiple skills to collect and analyse different sources to determine a suitable regression equation to examine the state-of-the-art cement optimisation in return for scale. As a result, the classic Cobb-Douglas production function is not one of the typical cases of the empirical stochastic frontier analysis based on the two scenarios’ outcomes. It is an alternative. So, it is a variation in Lin et al. (2014). Thus, the empirical stochastic frontier analysis equation focuses on speedy manufacturing technology productivity measures.

description: Liquefaction phenomenon has been the attention of researchers since the 1970s, ranging from analytical modeling, Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling to various types laboratory testing. One of its research field is to predict the depth where soil liquefaction occurred. The hassle of analytic modeling, repetitive laboratory testing and expensive field inspections, has opened up opportunities to develop simple, practical, inexpensive and valid modeling.

In this research, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) regression modeling is used to predict the maximum depth of liquefaction. ANN selected among other Artificial Intelligence methods because its ability to model the interaction of brain parallel computing through iterative learning process of inputted data. Back Propagation (BP) is one of widely used training method for ANN. Although it has some weaknesses such as easily trapped in local optimum and unstable results, it is most widely used one. To overcome BP weaknesses, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is being used for ANN learning process. GA is optimization method that mimics the process of evolution, selection, recombination and mutation that occurs in nature.

Although GA is a well known method, it also has some weaknesses, such as premature convergence and local optimum. In this research, GA is heavily modified to overcome its weaknesses. The modifications are Wide Tournament selection, Multi-Parent BLX-α recombination, Aggregate mutation and Direct Mutation-Recombination operation. The modifications aim to increase the population diversity, expanding the coverage area of solution search and find global optimum solution more easily and quickly. Global optimum solution of GA is best ANN configuration which has smallest MdAPE prediction errors.

description: Highly contagious respiratory illnesses like influenza and COVID-19 pose serious risks to public health. A two-in-one vaccine would be ideal to avoid multiple vaccinations for these diseases. Here, we generated a chimeric receptor binding domain of the spike protein (S-RBD) and hemagglutinin (HA)-stalk-based vaccine for both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. The S-RBD from SARS-CoV-2 Delta was fused to the headless HA from H1N1 (H1Delta), creating a chimera that forms trimers in solution. The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the chimeric protein complexed with the RBD-targeting CB6 and the HA-stalk-targeting CR9114 antibodies shows that the trimeric protein is stable and accessible for neutralizing antibody binding. Immunization with the vaccine elicited high and long-lasting neutralizing antibodies and effectively protected mice against the challenges of lethal H1N1 or heterosubtypic H5N8, as well as the SARS-CoV-2 Delta or Omicron BA.2 variants. Overall, this study offers a two-in-one universal vaccine design to combat infections caused by both SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and influenza viruses.

REDUCED-ORDER MODELING AND DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF METAL-PCM COMPOSITE HEAT EXCHANGERS

description: Thermal energy storage (TES) modules are specifically designed to respond to transient thermal loading. Their dynamic response depends on the overall structure of the module, including module geometry and dimensions, the internal spatial distribution of phase change material (PCM) and conductive heat-spreading elements, and the thermophysical properties of the different materials composing the module. However, due to the complexity of analyzing a system’s dynamic thermal response to transient input signals, optimal design of a TES module for a particular application is challenging. Conventional design approaches are limited by (1) the computational cost associated with high fidelity simulation of heat transfer in nonlinear systems undergoing a phase transition and (2) the lack of model integration with robust optimization tools. To overcome these challenges, I derive reduced-order dynamic models of two different metal-PCM composite TES modules and validate them against a high fidelity CFD model. Through simulation and validation of both turbulent and laminar flow cases, I demonstrate the accuracy of the reduced-order models in predicting, both spatially and temporally, the evolution of the dynamic model states and other system variables of interest, such as PCM melt fraction. The validated models are used to conduct univariate and bivariate parametric studies to understand the effects of various design parameters on different performance metrics. Finally, a case study is presented in which the models are used to conduct detailed design optimization for the two HX geometries.

description: Recent studies \cite{1,2} predicted the sensitivity of the Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions to nuclear deformation in neutron-deficient Hg isotopes. Motivated by this work, we investigate nuclear ground-state properties and GT strength distributions for neutron-deficient Hg isotopes ($^{177\hbox{-}193}$Hg).
 The nuclear deformation ($β(E2)$) values were calculated using the **Relativistic Mean Field (RMF)** model. The RMF approach, with different density-dependent interactions (**DD-ME2** and **DD-PC1**), was employed to compute nuclear shape parameters. These computed deformation values were then used within the framework of the **deformed proton-neutron quasi-particle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA)** model, with a separable interaction, to calculate the allowed GT strength distributions for these Hg isotopes.
 Our calculations validate the findings of \cite{1} and confirm the effect of deformation on GT strength distributions. This study may further provide a complementary signature for nuclear shape isomers. Noticeable differences are highlighted between our results and previous calculations. The study of \cite{1} suggests that $^{177\hbox{-}182}$Hg possess prolate shapes, while $^{184\hbox{-}196}$Hg exhibit oblate shapes. In contrast, our calculations predict **prolate** shapes for $^{177\hbox{-}188}$Hg and **oblate** shapes for $^{189\hbox{-}193}$Hg isotopes.

description: Influenza virus is a prominent cause of respiratory illness in humans. Current influenza vaccines offer strain-specific immunity, while provide limited protection against drifted strains. Broad-spectrum influenza vaccines can induce broad and long-term immunity, and thus is regarded as a future direction for the development of next-generation influenza vaccines. In this study, we have conceptualized a novel mRNA-based multi-antigen influenza vaccine consisting of three conserved antigens of influenza A virus, including the ectodomain of the M2 ion channel (M2e), the long alpha helix of haemagglutinin stalk region (LAH), and nucleoprotein (NP). The vaccine design aims to enhance its potency and promote the development of a future broad-spectrum influenza vaccine. Our mRNA-based vaccine demonstrated potent humoral and cellular responses throughout the time points of the murine model, inducing viral neutralizing antibodies, antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity effect mediating antibodies and cross-reactive CD8+ T cell immune responses. The vaccine conferred broad protection against H1N1, H3N2, and H9N2 viruses. Moreover, the single-cell transcriptional profiling of T cells in the spleens of vaccinated mice revealed that the mRNA-based vaccine significantly promoted CD8+ T cells and memory T cells by prime-boost immunization. Our results suggest that the mRNA-based influenza vaccine encoding conserved proteins is a promising approach for eliciting broadly protective humoral and cellular immunity against various influenza viruses.
