Design of multivariable feedback control systems via spectral assignment
Applied research in the area of spectral assignment in multivariable systems is reported. A frequency domain technique for determining the set of all stabilizing controllers for a single feedback loop multivariable system is described. It is shown that decoupling and tracking are achievable using this procedure. The technique is illustrated with a simple example
Design of multivariable feedback control systems via spectral assignment
The applicability of spectral assignment techniques to the design of multivariable feedback control systems was investigated. A fractional representation design procedure for unstable plants is presented and illustrated with an example. A computer aided design software package implementing eigenvalue/eigenvector design procedures is described. A design example which illustrates the use of the program is explained
Design of multivariable feedback control systems via spectral assignment using reduced-order models and reduced-order observers
The feasibility of using reduced order models and reduced order observers with eigenvalue/eigenvector assignment procedures is investigated. A review of spectral assignment synthesis procedures is presented. Then, a reduced order model which retains essential system characteristics is formulated. A constant state feedback matrix which assigns desired closed loop eigenvalues and approximates specified closed loop eigenvectors is calculated for the reduced order model. It is shown that the eigenvalue and eigenvector assignments made in the reduced order system are retained when the feedback matrix is implemented about the full order system. In addition, those modes and associated eigenvectors which are not included in the reduced order model remain unchanged in the closed loop full order system. The fulll state feedback design is then implemented by using a reduced order observer. It is shown that the eigenvalue and eigenvector assignments of the closed loop full order system remain unchanged when a reduced order observer is used. The design procedure is illustrated by an actual design problem

Quasi-Local Energy Flux of Spacetime Perturbation
A general expression for quasi-local energy flux for spacetime perturbation
is derived from covariant Hamiltonian formulation using functional
differentiability and symplectic structure invariance, which is independent of
the choice of the canonical variables and the possible boundary terms one
initially puts into the Lagrangian in the diffeomorphism invariant theories.
The energy flux expression depends on a displacement vector field and the
2-surface under consideration. We apply and test the expression in Vaidya
spacetime. At null infinity the expression leads to the Bondi type energy flux
obtained by Lindquist, Schwartz and Misner. On dynamical horizons with a
particular choice of the displacement vector, it gives the area balance law
obtained by Ashtekar and Krishnan.Comment: 8 pages, added appendix, version to appear in Phys. Rev.

The paper describes development of an embedded vending machine equipped with an Internet connection. The machine could be monitored and controlled remotely via Internet to perform temperature montoring and selling transaction monitoring. This embedded vending machine system consist of two parts, which are an vending machine connected to Rabbitcore module and an administrator/main computer. The software deployed at Rabbitcore module was written in Dynamic C. The administrator computer was running an Apache Web Server, PHP and MySQL database server. The experiment was conducted by connecting the system to the local area network which is connected to the Internet Administrator computer could monitor the up to date information like temperature and selling transaction data. The system was successfully being monitored from the Internet
Efficient nonlinear room-temperature spin injection from ferromagnets into semiconductors through a modified Schottky barrier
We suggest a consistent microscopic theory of spin injection from a
ferromagnet (FM) into a semiconductor (S). It describes tunneling and emission
of electrons through modified FM-S Schottky barrier with an ultrathin heavily
doped interfacial S layer . We calculate nonlinear spin-selective properties of
such a reverse-biased FM-S junction, its nonlinear I-V characteristic, current
saturation, and spin accumulation in S. We show that the spin polarization of
current, spin density, and penetration length increase with the total current
until saturation. We find conditions for most efficient spin injection, which
are opposite to the results of previous works, since the present theory
suggests using a lightly doped resistive semiconductor. It is shown that the
maximal spin polarizations of current and electrons (spin accumulation) can
approach 100% at room temperatures and low current density in a nondegenerate
high-resistance semiconductor.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures; provides detailed comparison with earlier works

Head-on collisions of binary white dwarf--neutron stars: Simulations in full general relativity
We simulate head-on collisions from rest at large separation of binary white
dwarf -- neutron stars (WDNSs) in full general relativity. Our study serves as
a prelude to our analysis of the circular binary WDNS problem. We focus on
compact binaries whose total mass exceeds the maximum mass that a cold
degenerate star can support, and our goal is to determine the fate of such
systems. A fully general relativistic hydrodynamic computation of a realistic
WDNS head-on collision is prohibitive due to the large range of dynamical time
scales and length scales involved. For this reason, we construct an equation of
state (EOS) which captures the main physical features of NSs while, at the same
time, scales down the size of WDs. We call these scaled-down WD models
"pseudo-WDs (pWDs)". Using pWDs, we can study these systems via a sequence of
simulations where the size of the pWD gradually increases toward the realistic
case. We perform two sets of simulations; One set studies the effects of the NS
mass on the final outcome, when the pWD is kept fixed. The other set studies
the effect of the pWD compaction on the final outcome, when the pWD mass and
the NS are kept fixed. All simulations show that 14%-18% of the initial total
rest mass escapes to infinity. All remnant masses still exceed the maximum rest
mass that our cold EOS can support (1.92 solar masses), but no case leads to
prompt collapse to a black hole. This outcome arises because the final
configurations are hot. All cases settle into spherical, quasiequilibrium
configurations consisting of a cold NS core surrounded by a hot mantle,
resembling Thorne-Zytkow objects. Extrapolating our results to realistic WD
compactions, we predict that the likely outcome of a head-on collision of a
realistic, massive WDNS system will be the formation of a quasiequilibrium
Thorne-Zytkow-like object.Comment: 24 pages, 14 figures, matches PRD published version, tests of HRSC
