Improved Maximum Correntropy Unscented Kalman Filter for Spacecraft Attitude Estimation

Shuai Chu,Huaming Qian,Peng Ding 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2023 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.21 No.6

In this article, an improved maximum correntropy unscented Kalman filter (IMCUKF) is proposed for the problem of mutation and non-Gaussian noise in the spacecraft attitude estimation system. The IMCUKF proposed in this paper transforms the above problem into a nonlinear regression problem, which is achieved by establishing a robust filter based on the maximum correntropy criterion and adaptively adjusting the prior covariance using an adaptive fading factor. In particular, the IMCUKF uses the Cauchy kernel function instead of the Gaussian kernel function to solve the problem that the maximum correntropy Kalman filter is easy to collapse due to the emergence of singular matrices. In addition, this paper applies the additive quaternion property to derive the Kalman filter gain to satisfy the constraint of quaternion normalization. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm as compared with the existing filtering algorithm with the measurement outliers, state mutations, and non-Gaussian noises.

Preliminary Study on a Three-coil Wireless Power Transfer System for Endoscope Micro-robot of Intestinal Diagnosis: Design, Optimization and Validation

Han Ding,Yan Guozheng,Kuang Shuai,Wang Wei,Zhao Kai 대한전기학회 2022 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.17 No.4

A wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on inductive resonant coupling makes it possible for endoscope micro robot (EMR) to explore intestine noninvasively. However, due to the increased demand for energy in such micro robot system, such as autonomous movement and drug delivery, the small receiving coil (Φ 15 mm × 13 mm) embedded in limited space on micro robot could not supply enough power as expected. To improve the power supply issue, this article proposes a threecoil WPT system for EMRs system. Based on the refl ected impedance theory, the receiving end of three-coil WPT system is analyzed. Then, according to maximum power transfer principle, parameters relative to performance of WPT system have been optimized through simulation. After that, some bench tests are constructed. A good match is found between analysis results and experimental data. By comparing the three-coil PTW and two-coil WPT systems, it has verifi ed that the transmission effi ciency can be increased signifi cantly to 11.2% by optimized three-coil WPT system and the power dissipation of receiving end could be reduced greatly when the micro robot is under a high power consumption, which is more suitable for endoscope micro robot system with limited space.

Facile preparation and performance of novel high-TC xBi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3-(1-x)Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3 piezoceramics

Wanwan Ji,Shuai Feng,Bijun Fang,Xiangyong Zhao,Shuai Zhang,Jianning Ding,Haosu Luo 한국물리학회 2018 Current Applied Physics Vol.18 No.3

High Curie temperature (TC) xBi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3-(1-x)Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3 (xBNT-(1-x)PZT, BNT-PZT) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The composition-induced morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) and its influences on structure and electrical performance were investigated. The synthesized BNT-PZT ceramics exhibit rather pure perovskite structure, and densified microstructure morphology with uniform elementals distribution in both grains and grain boundaries. With increasing the content of Bi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3 (BNT), crystal structure of the BNT-PZT ceramics transform from tetragonal phase to rhombohedral phase, and dielectric response peaks change from narrow shape to very broad shape but all presenting dielectric frequency dispersion. The diffused and relaxation dielectric behavior can be fitted well by the quadratic law, and the Vogel-Fulcher law fitting provides additional information on the relaxation characteristic. The MPB effects are confirmed further by ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties measurements. High-TC combined with excellent piezoelectric performance can be realized in the BNT-PZT system, which presents promising applications in geothermal exploration, aerospace and related elevated temperatures fields.

Long non-coding RNA TTC28-AS1 attenuates high glucose-induced damage in HK-2 cells depending on the regulation of miR-320a/CD2AP axis

Zhang Ji,Ding Juan,Yu Ming,Li Fang,Zhou Xue,Shuai Hongxia 한국유전학회 2021 Genes & Genomics Vol.43 No.12

Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in DN pathogenesis. Objective The purpose of the present study was to explore the role and mechanism of lncRNA tetratricopeptide repeat domain 2B antisense RNA 1 (TTC28-AS1) in DN. Methods Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by the Cell Counting-8 Kit (CCK-8) assay and fow cytometry, respectively. The levels of TTC28-AS1, miR-320a and CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), and IL-8 were gauged by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Targeted relationship between miR-320a and TTC28-AS1 or CD2AP was evaluated by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Results Our data indicated that high glucose (HG) induced HK-2 cell damage by the repression of cell viability and autophagy and the enhancement of cell apoptosis, fbrosis and pro-infammatory cytokines production. TTC28-AS1 was down-regulated and miR-320a was up-regulated in HG-induced HK-2 cells. TTC28-AS1 overexpression or miR-320a knockdown alleviated HG-induced damage in HK-2 cells. MiR-320 was a molecular mediator of TTC28-AS1 in regulating HG-induced HK-2 cell damage. Moreover, TTC28-AS1 functioned as a post-transcriptional regulator of CD2AP expression by miR-320a. MiR-320a knockdown relieved HG-induced damage in HK-2 cells by up-regulating CD2AP. Conclusions Our fndings suggest that TTC28-AS1 attenuates HG-induced damage in HK-2 cells at least partially by targeting the miR-320a/CD2AP axis, highlighting its role as a promising therapeutic approach for DN treatment.

PD-type ℓ2-ℓ∞ Intermittent Pinning Synchronization Control of Discrete Time-delay Nonlinear Dynamical Networks

Jiayi Zhang,Guoliang Wei,Shuai Liu,Derui Ding 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2020 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.18 No.8

In this paper, the PD-type `2 − `∞ synchronization control problem is concerned for a class of discrete time-delayed nonlinear dynamical networks. A PD-type (proportional-derivative-type) pinning control protocol is proposed where only a small fraction of network nodes is controlled in order to achieve the global synchronization performance. Meanwhile, for the sake of decreasing the update frequency of the controller, the periodic intermittent control strategy is developed. The main purpose of the addressed problem is to design a PD-type intermittent pinning feedback controller such that the closed-loop system achieves both the exponential synchronization and the prescribed `2 −`∞ performance index. Subsequently, by means of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method, a sufficient condition is established under which the addressed PD-type controller design problem is recast into a linear convex optimization one that can be easily solved via available software packages. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the applicability of the developed theoretical results.

Tao Zhang,Fa-Xing Ding,Liping Wang,Xue-mei Liu,Guo-shuai Jiang 국제구조공학회 2018 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.28 No.5

The objective of this paper is to investigate the mechanical performances of polygonal concrete-filled circular steel tubular (CFT) stub columns under axial loading through combined experimental and numerical study. A total of 32 specimens were designed to investigate the effect of the concrete strength and steel ratio on the compressive behavior of polygonal CFT stub columns. The ultimate bearing capacity, ductility and confinement effect were analyzed based on the experimental results and the failure modes were discussed in detail. Besides, ABAQUS was adopted to establish the three dimensional FE model. The composite action between the core concrete and steel tube was further discussed and clarified. It was found that the behavior of CFT stub column changes with the change of the cross-section, and the change is continuous. Finally, based on both experimental and numerical results, a unified formula was developed to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of polygonal CFT stub columns according to the superposition principle with rational simplification. The predicted results showed satisfactory agreement with both experimental and FE results.
