Non-linearity and parameter time-variety are inherent properties of lateral motions of a vehicle. How to effectively control intelligent vehicle (IV) lateral motions is a challenging task. Controller design can be regarded as a process of searching optimal structure from controller structure space a...

Appropriate schemata as a novel concept to characterize building blocks are introduced, and then, the traits of appropriate schemata are presented. The effects of building blocks by search operators are analyzed. Hence, the experiments appropriate schemata and building blocks from the views of theor...

SHTQS is an intelligent telephone-based spoken dialogue system providing the information about the best route between two sites in Shanghai. Instead of separated parts of speech decoding and language parsing, a close cooperation is carried out in SHTQS by integrating automatic speech recognizer (ASR...

We report a novel self-powered nanocomposite sensor composed of K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃ (KNN) nanoparticles (NPs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MW-CNTs). The KNN NPs and MW-CNTs are dispersed in polydimethylsioxane by mechanical agitation to produce a piezoelectric nanocom...

Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is an inference network, which uses cyclic digraphs for knowledge representation and reasoning. Along with the extensive applications of FCMs, there are some limitations that emerge due to the deficiencies associated with FCM itself. In order to eliminate these deficiencies...
