This paper presents an approach to building up a synchronized collaborative design platform upon heterogeneous CAD systems. In the approach, Neutral Modeling Commands are used to achieve the real-time exchange of modeling operations between heterogeneous CAD systems. For the Neutral Modeling Commands, an object oriented representation is given and employed to support the translation between System Modeling Operations (SMO) and Neutral Modeling Commands (NMC). Moreover, two kinds of translators, SMO-to-NMC and NMC-to-SMO, are established, which can deal with modification/deletion operations and composite features and user-defined features besides common creation operations. The preliminary test results show that the proposed approach is promising.

This paper presents an integration-based solution for developing a real-time collaborative design (co-design) platform on heterogeneous computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Different from the visualization-based approaches, the product models are allowed to be constructed and modified from various sites together in the proposed collaborative design platform. Our approach is based on a mechanism for the translation between system modeling operations (SMOs) and neutral modeling commands (NMCs). Every operation given by a user on one site is translated into a NMC and transmitted to all the other sites through the network, and then the received NMC is converted into corresponding SMOs on every other site, instantaneously. Since only the commands but not the product data are transferred, the data size under transmission is greatly reduced, so that a real-time synchronization can be achieved with a standard network bandwidth. In addition, by developing system-dependent SMO↔NMC translators on different client CAD systems, users on different sites could join the collaboration by using their familiar CAD systems; this is the benefit that cannot be offered by the homogeneous co-design systems. The prototype implementation proves that our approach works well for integrating various current popular commercial CAD systems into a real-time collaborative design platform.

Using of IP addresses is currently still using IPv4. Meanwhile, the availability of the IPv4 address is gradually diminishes. IPv4 has a limited address capacity. IPv6 was developed with a capacity greater than IPv4. Connect between IPv4 and IPv6 without having to interfere with the existing infrastructure. So, methods like tunneling are needed. Tunneling builds a way that IPv4 and IPv6 can communicate. 6to4 tuning makes IPv6 able to communicate with IPv4 over IPv4 infrastructure. Real time communication is needed by internet users to be able to connect to each other. One of the real time communications is VoIP. To find out the quality of tunneling implemented on a VoIP network, it will analyze QoS such as delay, packet loss, and jitter. Delay obtained is 20,01ms for IPv4, 19,99ms for IPv6 and 20,03ms for 6to4. Packet loss obtained 0,01% for IPv4, IPv6 0,01% and 6to4 0,08%. The obtained jitter is 7,96ms for IPv4, IPv6 7.39ms, and 8,48 for 6to4. The test results show that using IPv6 gets a better QoS value than using IPv4 and 6to4 tunneling. The results using 6to4 tunneling obtained the highest QoS value between IPv4 and IPv6. Implementation using 6to4 tunneling results in high results because, IPv6 packets that are sent are wrapped into the IPv4 form to get through the IPv4 infrastructure.

In the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test, many steps need traces pipetting. The ELISA test results will be different when we use different pipetting ways. Our traces pipetting system is based on the air displacement pipetting principle, comparable to the functioning of hand pipettes. It is applied pressure sensor to realize pressure-based liquid level detection (pLLD) and aspiration monitoring. The monitored system can distinguish the following situations: (1) a correct aspiration; (2) cup empty; (3) tip-blocked; (4) bubbles. Using the air displacement principle into traces pipetting can avoid contamination or dilution by system liquids, and problems with corroded tubing, pumps, etc. It applied pressure sensor to realize pLLD and aspiration monitoring. The results of the real-time monitor module on air displacement pipetting show that the traces pipetting system can agilely distinguish the different liquid pipetting situations. The method of air displacement pipetting offered an effective way for ELISA traces pipetting system.

Time delay is a critical and unavoidable problem in real-time hybrid simulation. An accurate and effective compensation method for time delay is necessary for the safety of real-time hybrid simulation and the reliability of test results. Generally, a model-based compensation method can be adopted, which is derived from the identified transfer function by assuming the latter can accurately represent the real plant. However, there must be some differences between the transfer function and the real plant. To facilitate the development of real-time hybrid simulation, we proposed a two-stage feedforward compensation method considering the error between the transfer function identified and the real plant. The compensation strategy proposed in this study was not only based on the transfer function but also introduced an error model as a second-stage compensation into a compensator to realize the synchronization of command and measurement. To verify the efficiency of the proposed method, comparisons in time domain and frequency domain with the feedforward compensator in a model-based feedforward–feedback control method were carried out. Compared with the feedforward compensator, the two-stage method achieved better tracking performance, especially in the high-frequency bandwidth. The test results verified that for a band-limited white noise of 0–30 Hz, the phase lag of the actuation system can be limited to ±5°. Finally, the two-stage method was applied to a real-time hybrid simulation of a two-story frame to illustrate its compensation effect on time delay.

Adaptive multi-rate wideband (AMR-WB) speech codec is the first standard for both wired and wireless universal broadband speech codec. Real-time implementation of AMR-WB algorithm in DSP has important practical significance and will accelerate its course of practice. The paper first designed the hardware platform and system software structure for real-time implementation of the AMR-WB algorithm, then introduced the transplantation of AMR-WB algorithm to the designed hardware system. The paper next discussed the real-time implementation of optimized algorithm on the hardware platform. Objective test results indicated the decoded speeches of real-time platform were bit exactly the same as test sequences. Synthetic speeches of real-time platform were very good in restoring the speaker’s voice characteristics by good intelligibility and naturalness.

A new data acquisition and processing system for testing vehicle's braking performance which has the function of storage, real time display and analysis is designed and implemented based on Visual C++ and combined with the multi-function data acquisition card PCI2013. In order to improve the efficiency of the system, we have used multi-thread and multi-level buffer techniques to develop it. The preliminary test results indicate that the system can show the braking performance parameters such as the brake oil pressure, stop time, braking distance, braking torque real time, and draw the corresponding test and analysis curve. So it has been proved that the system can realize real time test, data processing and analysis, test results output and other functions automatically, quickly and accurately and has high feasibility and reliability from the preliminary test results.
