Frequency Domain Analysis and Design of Fixed Phase Reset Control

Reset controllers are acknowledged for their potential to enhance performance, like speed and precision in precision motion industries. Existing literature primarily utilizes the classical zero-crossing law in these controllers. This study introduces a novel reset component, termed “fixed-phase reset control”, which employs an innovative reset...

Automated Reset Controller Design with a Novel Structure for Improved Performance of an Industrial Motion Stage

Linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers suffer from inherent limitations as the waterbed effect and Bode's gain-phase relationship. Reset control, a nonlinear strategy involving the reset of linear controllers, offers a potential solution to overcome these traditional LTI limitations. Based on the describing function analysis, the reset...

3D Kinematics Estimation with Biomechanics Model

Human 3D kinematics estimation involves measuring joint angles and body segment scales to quantify and analyze the mechanics of human movements. It has applications in areas such as injury prevention, disease identification, and sports science. Conventional marker-based motion capture methods are expensive both in terms of financial investment...

Outcome prediction for endovascular therapy: Multimodal deep learning for acute ischemic events in the arteria cerebri media

The efficacy of endovascular therapy in large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the anterior circulation is dependent to a high degree on the selection of patients who are likely to benefit from this procedure. To this end, functional outcome prediction based on clinical parameters is an active area of research. In the preoperative screening of LVO...

Automatic Camera Extrinsics Estimation in the Catheterization Laboratory

Surgical workflow analysis has gained more importance in operating rooms, which could take responsibility for the working condition, the safety of both patients and surgical personnel, as well as the working efficiency. Focusing on the optimization of the workflow, a set of cameras is installed in the Catheterization Laboratory in Reinier de...
