This guide is aimed at providing a general understanding of the various types of hardware devices that form the core of information processing systems for ship and marine use. Ship and marine information processing systems require specific devices in order to perform automated tasks ...

This guide illustrates the steps and considerations involved with digital data acquisition. While analog recording of wear and friction data has been in the past, digital data acquisition and storage is used extensively. It is important that DAQ users understand how data is collected and stored a...

This paper is focused on developing a tracking controller for a hypersonic cruise vehicle using tangent linearization approach. The design of flight control systems for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is a highly challenging task due to the unique characteristics of the vehicle dynamics. Motivated...

The flux-modulated compound-structure permanent magnet synchronous machine (CS-PMSM), composed of a brushless double rotor machine (DRM) and a conventional permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM), is a power split device for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. In this paper, its operating principl...

Smart grid is the flag under which the US DoE has been mobilizing efforts to modernize the grid. Electronictization is the first step towards a smart modern grid. It is a process that transforms the grid from electrical and electromechanical (EE) to electronic, electrical and electromechanical (EEE)...
