Fuzzy-logic-based control, filtering, and fault detection for networked systems: A Survey

This paper is concerned with the overview of the recent progress in fuzzy-logic-based filtering, control, and fault detection problems. First, the network technologies are introduced, the networked control systems are categorized from the aspects of fieldbuses and industrial Ethernets, the necessity of utilizing the fuzzy logic is justified, and the network-induced phenomena are discussed. Then, the fuzzy logic control strategies are reviewed in great detail. Special attention is given to the thorough examination on the latest results for fuzzy PID control, fuzzy adaptive control, and fuzzy tracking control problems. Furthermore, recent advances on the fuzzy-logic-based filtering and fault detection problems are reviewed. Finally, conclusions are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out, for example, topics on two-dimensional networked systems, wireless networked control systems, Quality-of-Service (QoS) of networked systems, and fuzzy access control in open networked systems.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301, 61374039, 61473163, and 61374127, the Hujiang Foundation of China under Grants C14002 andD15009, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK, the Royal Society of the UK, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

Development of Large-And-Small Volume-Switching Rotary Compressor for Residential Multi-Connected Air-Conditioner

Residential Multi-Connected Air-Conditioner(RMAC) are widely used in urban residential in China, but they have low energy efficiency problems in daily use. They are mainly due to the air-conditioning habits of Chinese residents in part space and part time , Which makes RMAC most of the time only 1-2 indoor units are turned on, and 60% of the operating time is at a low load rate of less than 30%. During low load operation, the compressor\u27s efficiency drops sharply, and there is also the problem of frequent start and stop when the minimum output is too large. In order to solve this problem, a large-and-small volume switching compressor suitable for RMAC is developed. The compressor can choose single-cylinder small-volume operation or twin-cylinder large-volume operation according to the change of system load. The new compressor technology for RMAC improves the energy efficiency by 124% under 10% load, and avoids the problem of frequent start-stops at low loads, making RMAC more energy efficient and more comfortable

A regioselectivity switch in Pd-catalyzed hydroallylation of alkynes.

By exploiting the reactivity of a vinyl-Pd species, we control the regioselectivity in hydroallylation of alkynes under Pd-hydride catalysis. A monophosphine ligand and carboxylic acid combination promotes 1,5-dienes through a pathway involving isomerization of alkynes to allenes. In contrast, a bisphosphine ligand and copper cocatalyst favor 1,4-dienes via a mechanism that involves transmetalation. Our study highlights how to access different isomers by diverting a common organometallic intermediate
