Book excerpt: La conception de systèmes complexes, et plus particulièrement de micro-systèmes complexes embarqués, posent des problèmes tels que l'intégration des composants, la consommation d'énergie, la fiabilité, les délais de mise sur marché, ...La conception mécatronique apparait comme étant particulièrement adaptée à ces systèmes car elle intègre intimement simulations, expérimentations, interactions entre sous-systèmes et cycles de reconception à tous les niveaux. Le produit obtenu est plus optimisé, plus performant et les délais de mise sur le marché sont réduits.Cette thèse a permis de trouver des méthodes de caractérisation, d'identification de paramètres ainsi que d'optimisation de systèmes mécatroniques actifs par la constitution de modèles numériques, de bancs d'expériences numériques, physiques et hybrides. Le cadre est bien précis : c'est celui d'un actionneur piézoélectrique amplifié, de sa commande ainsi que de la constitution générale de la boucle fermée d'un système mécatronique l'intégrant, les conclusions étant généralisables.Au cours de cette thèse, ont été introduits, avec succès, différents concepts :- Le « Signal Libre ». Un nouveau signal de commande des actionneurs piézoélectriques, basé sur les splines, maximise la vitesse de déplacement de l'actionneur et minimise sa consommation énergétique.- Deux améliorations de l'algorithme d'optimisation par essais de particules. La première introduit un arrêt de l'algorithme par la mesure du rayon de l'essaim ; le rayon limite est défini par la limite de mesurabilité des paramètres à optimiser ("Radius") ; la seconde ajoute la possibilité pour l'essaim de se transférer à une meilleure position tout en gardant sa géométrie. Ceci permet d' accélérer la convergence ("BSG-Starcraft")- L'optimisation expérimentale. Le modèle numérique étant très incertain, il est remplacé directement par le système réel dans le processus d'optimisation. Les résultats sont de qualité supérieure à ceux obtenus à partir de la simulation numérique.

This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This White Paper, divided into two parts, lays out the Government's policy objectives in relation to "National Security through Technology", particularly in relation to technology, equipment, and support for UK defence and security. Part 1: UK Defence and Security Procurement - sets out the Government's aims for the procurement of technology, equipment and support to meet the UK's defence and security needs; Part 2: The UK Defence and Security Industry - looks at the wider UK perspective, including growth, skills, and emerging sectors, within the context of defence and security procurement policy and at government action to encourage UK-based companies to fulfil defence requirements here and develop successful exports. The publication follows up and develops themes and issues raised in the Green Paper "Equipment, support and technology for UK defence and security: consultation paper" (Cm.7989, ISBN 9780101798921, published December 2010). A second publication, published alongside this White Paper, Cm. 8277 (ISBN 9780101827720), contains the Government's responses to the original Green Paper.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Human Computer Interaction written by Andrew F. Monk and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Human-Computer Interaction aims to sensitize the systems designer to the problems faced by the user of an interactive system. The book grew out of a course entitled ""The User Interface: Human Factors for Computer-based Systems"" which has been run annually at the University of York since 1981. This course has been attended primarily by systems managers from the computer industry. The book is organized into three parts. Part One focuses on the user as processor of information with studies on visual perception; extracting information from printed and electronically presented text; and human memory. Part Two on the use of behavioral data includes studies on how and when to collect behavioral data; and statistical evaluation of behavioral data. Part Three deals with user interfaces. The chapters in this section cover topics such as work station design, user interface design, and speech communication. It is hoped that this book will be read by systems engineers and managers concerned with the design of interactive systems as well as graduate and undergraduate computer science students. The book is also suitable as a tutorial text for certain courses for students of Psychology and Ergonomics.
