A separation principle for distributed control

A linear quadratic control problem is considered, where several different controllers act as a team, but with access to different measurements. The state feedback solution obtained in a previous paper is here extended to output feedback and a separation principle is proved. The condition that certain measurements are unavailable to some state estimators is enforced by imposing a requirement that t

Functions Marketing: Take Control of Logistics to Control Business Risks!

This paper introduces the possibility of increasing the efficiency and minimizing the risk in functions marketing in the aircraft industry by focusing on better control of the logistic parameters. Functions marketing can be described as the marketing of a function rather than a product. The emphasis in this paper will be on the maintenance, i.e. repair and overhaul, of aircraft engines. Functions

Direction of arrival estimation in the presence of correlated signals and array imperfections with uniform circular arrays

The Davies transformation is a method to transform the steering vector of a uniform circular array (UCA) to a vector with Vandermonde form. As this form is similar to that of the steering vector of a uniform linear array (ULA), we can apply to UCAs the many tools that have been developed for ULAs. However, the Davies transformation can be highly sensitive to perturbations of the underlying ideal a

Using Simple Force Feedback Mechanisms as Haptic Visualization Tools

Force feedback (FF) is a technology which is very interesting in the context of human machine interfaces. This as it is usable as a haptic interface, which makes it possible to model and simulate objects and textures. One problem with haptic FF devices today is that most of them are of professional or research standard, which makes them expensive. The technology of FF have also been introduced in

Grammar and pragmatics - Swedish as a foreign language

This paper compares grammatical and pragmatic development in foreign language learners of Swedish. For the analysis of grammatical proficiency, data from translation tasks and essays were tested against the stage model proposed in Processability Theory, which identifies five stages of morpho-syntactic development for Swedish (Pienemann 1998, Pienemann and Håkansson 1999). For the pragmatic analysi

Polybrominated diphenylethers in the environment - Local and long range transport

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att kunna förstå och bedöma exponeringen av kemikalier i miljön, i det här fallet PolyBromeradeDiphenylEtrar (PBDEer), behövs kunskap om källor och flöden från teknosfären till ekosystemen. PBDEer är bromerade flamskyddsmedel som bl a sätts till olika plastmaterial i elektronikanvändning för att förhindra brand. Det används globalt i miljontals kilo och presenteras I have studied the sources, long range transport, and rates of flow of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), from the technosphere to the Baltic ecosystems. PBDEs are mainly used in polymers, which are applied in electrical equipment to prevent overheating or flashover and are produced in large quantities. PBDEs have become widely spread in the environment, where they are able to accumulate in b
