2. 6. Gain-Scheduled Controller Design

   Author : Adrian Ilka; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Guaranteed cost control; Gain-scheduled control; Bellman-Lyapunov function; Lyapunov theory of stability; Robust control; Input output constraints; LPV system;

   Abstract : This thesis is devoted to controller synthesis, i.e. to finding a systematic procedure to determine the optimal (sub-optimal) controller parameters which guarantees the closed-loop stability and guaranteed cost for uncertain nonlinear systems with considering input/output constraints, all this without on-line optimization.

   Abstract : The main objective of wave energy converters (WECs) is to ensure reliable electricity production at a competitive cost. Two challenges to achieving this are ensuring an efficient energy conversion and offshore survivability. READ MORE

5. 8. Dead-Time Compensation and Performance Monitoring in Process Control

   Author : Ari Ingimundarson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotteknik; Automatiska system; reglerteknik; Automation; robotics; control engineering;

   Abstract : The thesis contains two parts, dead-time compensation and performance monitoring. The first part on dead-time compensation is about robust tuning procedures for dead-time compensating controllers (DTC). Both stable and integrating processes are considered. READ MORE

6. 9. Budgetary control in public health care : a study about perceptions of budgetary control among clinical directors

   Author : Pia Nylinder; Anders Anell; Gert Paulsson; Lars-Göran Aidemark; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Public sector organizations; Primary health care; Hospital Health care; Clinical directors; Budgetary control; Företagsekonomi; Business administration; Public sector organizations; Primary health care; Hospital; Health care; Clinical directors; Budgetary control;

   Abstract : Health care expenditures have increased rapidly in most OECD-countries, and several reforms have been considered for the improvement of cost-containment in the health care sector. Physicians in particular have been recognized to have considerable impact on health care expenditures and as a result they have become increasingly involved in budgetary control with the hope of a more efficient use of resources.

7. 10. Robot system for flexible 3D friction stir welding

   Author : Mikael Soron; Ivan Kalaykov; Jorge F. dos Santos; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction Stir Welding; robotics; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Automatic control; Reglerteknik; Reglerteknik; Automatic Control;

   Abstract : Applying Friction Stir Welding (FSW) on complex joint geometries requires not only a machine with 3-dimesional work space capacity, but also a sound definition of the part geometry as well as knowledge about the process. Having a joining process, such as FSW, with great characteristics from both seam quality and environmental perspective, but yet only a minor presence in the manufacturing industry may be related to flexibility and cost issues.
