Speech Tilte: Improving the Efficiency of Machine Drive Systems with the Use of Controlled Mechanical Resonance

The effectiveness of a machine in transforming the power input to the device to power output holds a crucial role in the achievement of maximum efficiency. In most machines with oscillating motion, i.e., reciprocating motion such as the slider crank mechanism where the rotation of the crank drives the linear movement of the slider for instance, a substantial amount of power consumption is used to shift the translational motion direction of the slider.
Fundamentally, during resonance, the driven elements in the mechanical system tend to effectively absorb the provided kinetic energy when the frequency of its repetitive movement, a central value, matches the system's natural frequency. In this sense, if the proper techniques for the exploitation of mechanical resonance can be applied in the system, the energy transfer from the driving source could be optimally received by the driven element of a mechanism throughout the state of resonance.
The total mechanical energy and the vibration amplitude of the mass in an oscillator at resonance are increasing to certain values, which depend on the damping. In steady state conditions at resonance, the delivered energy is equal to the energy dissipated in the oscillator. During resonance and due to the amplification of the vibration amplitude, energy in the oscillator will be accumulated. The accumulation of energy is similar to that in a flywheel. A possibility of sequential energy extraction from mechanical resonance and its application to the example of a punching press and a machine with crankshaft system has been presented.

Speech Tilte: A Nonlinear Framework of Layered Intelligence for Video-based Recognition

Many algorithms for multidimensional signal processing were presented in the past decades although, video-based recognition of occluded faces is still a great challenge. This research presents a new approach to tackle this challenge, which can be summarized as a “five layer intelligence”. These five intelligence layers are respectively environments sensing, active learning, cognitive computing, intelligent decision making and automatic control/execution. The experimental results are very promising and also present a new approach for other real challenges in multidimensional signal processing.
