THE PROPERTIES OF GROUND REACTION FORCE IN STANDING HOP, RUNNING THREE STEPS HOP AND HURDLE HOP

INTRODUCTION: Both theoretical and experimental research has shown that the effect of the jump was highly related to the vertical reaction force of foot in contact. Current research has focused on the jump as it occurs in specific sporting activities. There is an apparent lack of research on basic jumps therefore the purpose of this study was to explore the characteristic of jump performance. Through measurement and analysis of dynamic properties of some common hops used in jump training, a significant contribution will be made to the knowledge base of this subject that will benefit athletes and coaches in many different sports

Ultra-tight GPS/IMU Integration based Long-Range Rocket Projectile Navigation

Accurate navigation is important for long-range rocket projectile’s precise striking. For getting a stable and high-performance navigation result, a ultra-tight global position system (GPS), inertial measuring unit integration (IMU)-based navigation approach is proposed. In this study, high-accuracy position information output from IMU in a short time to assist the carrier phase tracking in the GPS receiver, and then fused the output information of IMU and GPS based on federated filter. Meanwhile, introduced the cubature kalman filter as the local filter to replace the unscented kalman filter, and improved it with strong tracking principle, then, improved the federated filter with vector sharing theory. Lastly simulation was carried out based on the real ballistic data, from the estimation error statistic figure. The navigation accuracy of the proposed method is higher than traditional method.

Scene Graph Generation with External Knowledge and Image Reconstruction

Scene graph generation has received growing attention with the advancements in image understanding tasks such as object detection, attributes and relationship prediction,~\etc. However, existing datasets are biased in terms of object and relationship labels, or often come with noisy and missing annotations, which makes the development of a reliable scene graph prediction model very challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel scene graph generation algorithm with external knowledge and image reconstruction loss to overcome these dataset issues. In particular, we extract commonsense knowledge from the external knowledge base to refine object and phrase features for improving generalizability in scene graph generation. To address the bias of noisy object annotations, we introduce an auxiliary image reconstruction path to regularize the scene graph generation network. Extensive experiments show that our framework can generate better scene graphs, achieving the state-of-the-art performance on two benchmark datasets: Visual Relationship Detection and Visual Genome datasets.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, Accepted in CVPR 201

catena-Poly[[trimethyl­tin(IV)]-μ-2-(2-chloro­phenyl)­acetato]

In the title polymeric coordination compound, [Sn(CH3)3(C8H6ClO2)]n, the Sn atoms exhibit a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with the carboxyl­ate O atoms of the 2-chloro­phenyl­acetato ligands in axial positions and with the equatorial sites occupied by the three methyl groups.

Controller with Vehicular Communication Design for Vehicular Platoon System

PhD ThesisTracked Electric Vehicles (TEV) which is a new mass-transport system. It aims to provide a safe, efficient and coordinated traffic system. In TEV, the inter-vehicular distance is reduced to only a quarter of the regular car length and where drive at 200km/h enabling mass transport at uniform speed. Under this requirement, the design of the controller is particularly important. This thesis first developed an innovative approach using adaptive Proportion, integral and derivation (PID) controller using fuzzy logic theory to keep variable time-gap between dynamic cars for platooning system with communication delay. The simulation results presented show a significant improvement in keeping time-gap variable between the cars enabling a safe and efficient flow of the platooning system. Secondly, this thesis investigates the use of Slide Mode Control (SMC) for TEV. It studies different V2V communication topology structures using graph theory and proposes a novel SMC design with and without global dynamic information. The Lyapunov candidate function was chosen to study the impact which forms an integral part for current and future research. The simulation results show that this novel SMC has a tolerance ability for communication delay. In order to present the real time TEV platoon system, a similar PI controller has been utilized in a novel automated vehicle, based on Raspberry Pi, multi-sensors and the designed Remote Control (RC) car. Thirdly, in order to obtain precise positioning information for vehicles in platoon system, this thesis describes Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data fusion to achieve a highly precise positioning solution. The results show that the following vehicles can reach the same velocity and acceleration as the leading vehicle in 5 seconds and the spacing error is less than 0.1m. The practical results are in line with those from the simulated experiment
