An artificial olfactory system coupled with an odor generation system is herein reported. The artificial olfactory system is composed of four chemical sensors consisting of quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs) coated with room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The sensors are interrogated by four vector network analyzers, which are used to measure the series resonant frequency and motional resistance. The odor generation system can generate eight different odors and mix them in any composition. Solenoid valves are used to switch the path and control the concentration of the different odors before blending. Two algorithms to control the solenoid valves, delta-sigma modulator, and simple pulse width modulation (PWM) are studied, optimized, and compared. Finally, the uncertainty of the odor generating system is calculated.

This paper aims to design a knee rehabilitation device which can help the knee patients to perform movement in bending leg manner. And in that way the rehabilitation process will be improved greatly. The design of the device includes the mechanical main body design, driving motor, and control circuit which contains the keyboard setting, display unit and clock unit. Through the pulse width modulation (PWM) technology the stepping motor is driven and the automatic bent in leg is achieved. During the exercise the following information is known: the starting time, the lasting time, the angle of movement and the speed of movement. The micro controller unit (MCU) is responsible for the information processing from both the key and liquid crystal display (LCD). After the key inputs the given parameters the stepping motor can output the desired motions. Meanwhile, the LCD can display the input information. Now the project has accomplished the preliminary design, and the concrete scheme is shown in this paper.

The control problems on a space robot during its approach to an information geostationary satellite are considered. The robot motion control system uses an electric propulsion system with 8 engines at the pulse-width modulation of their thrust values and a gyroscopic moment cluster based on 4 gyrodines with digital control. Numerical results are presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed discrete guidance and control algorithms.
