Spectral Method of Identification of Peltier Thermoelectric Elements Based on Piecewise Linear Approximation by Gleb Vasilyev, Oleg Kuzichkin, Dmitry Surzhik, Aleksandr Koskin

“…At the same time, the increase in the accuracy of identification requirements is associated with significant computational costs. The proposed identification technique requires the determination of the time dependencies of the control current and temperature deviation, the calculation of their spectra based on piecewise linear approximation, and the calculation of the transfer coefficient as the ratio of the spectra of the output and input signals. …”

Localization with signal-based signature distance by Pengpeng Chen, Yuqing Yin, Shouwan Gao, Qiang Niu

“…Existing range-free localization approaches suffer from precision limit of positioning, while range-based solutions may obtain good accuracy but pay high costs for ranging hardware. Instead of directly mapping received signal strength values into physical distances, a novel localization scheme with signal-based signature distance estimation is proposed for wireless sensor network. …”

Unmanned aerial vehicle control in the task of mobile ground object tracking by A. A. Lobaty, P. V. Kholod

“…A justified choice of an analytical solution to the optimization problem made it possible to formulate the law of control of the acceleration of the UAV center of mass, taking into account the change in the trajectory of the GO motion and minimization of control costs. The given example of mathematical modeling of the optimal control of a UAV and the formation of its flight trajectory when accompanied by a ground object demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed method and the prospects of its application for the synthesis of UAV autopilots at the preliminary design stage.…”
