A non-linear robust control algorithm called a composite pulsating controller (CPC), which attains high-performance positioning specifications, is presented. The CPC is designed specifically for real product applications that have certain limitations such as friction, motor sizing, amplifier saturation, computational power and like. The CPC is composed of a bang-bang controller, a nominal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, a high-gain PID controller and a pulsating controller in accomplishing the high-performance requirements. The mathematical structure of each component of the CPC is conceptualized, modelled and analysed in order to achieve superior positioning requirements for high performance. A bounded stability of the CPC is achieved and computer simulations are performed to demonstrate its practical applicability. Experimental digital implementation of the CPC with promising results is realized in the laboratory on a test bed equipped with a friction application apparatus.

An embedding technique to determine tau tau backgrounds in proton-proton collision data
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2019-06-01)
An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model ττ backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed μμ events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique...
Aligning the CMS muon chambers with the muon alignment system during an extended cosmic ray run
Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2010-03-01)
The alignment system for the muon spectrometer of the CMS detector comprises three independent subsystems of optical and analog position sensors. It aligns muon chambers with respect to each other and to the central silicon tracker. System commissioning at full magnetic field began in 2008 during an extended cosmic ray run. The system succeeded in tracking muon detector movements of up to 18 mm and rotations of several milliradians under magnetic forces. Depending on coordinate and subsystem, the system ach...
Apertureless scanning near field optical microscope with sub-10 nm resolution
Bek, Alpan; KERN, KLAUS (AIP Publishing, 2006-04-01)
We report on the implementation of a versatile dynamic mode apertureless scanning near field optical microscope (aSNOM) for nanoscopic investigations of optical properties at surfaces and interfaces. The newly developed modular aSNOM optomechanical unit is essentially integrable with a multitude of laser sources, homemade scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) as well as commercially available SPMs as demonstrated here. The instrument is especially designed to image opaque surfaces without a restriction to trans...
The data acquisition and calibration system for the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker
Abdesselam, A.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2008-01-01)
The SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) data acquisition (DAQ) system will calibrate, configure, and control the approximately six million front-end channels of the ATLAS silicon strip detector. It will provide a synchronized bunch-crossing clock to the front-end modules, communicate first-level triggers to the front-end chips, and transfer information about hit strips to the ATLAS high-level trigger system. The system has been used extensively for calibration and quality assurance during SCT barrel and endcap asse...
A highly sensitive atomic force microscope for linear measurements of molecular forces in liquids
PATİL, S; MATEİ, G; DONG, H; HOFFMANN, PM; Karakose, M; Oral, Ahmet (AIP Publishing, 2005-10-01)
We describe a highly improved atomic force microscope for quantitative nanomechanical measurements in liquids. The main feature of this microscope is a modified fiber interferometer mounted on a five axis inertial slider which provides a deflection sensitivity that is significantly better than conventional laser deflection based systems. The measured low noise floor of 572.0 fm/root Hz provides excellent cantilever amplitude resolution. This allows us to operate the instrument far below resonance at extreme...
