Research Equipment Grant: Coordinated Real-Time Control Laboratory

加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的电气和计算机工程系将购买实时控制系统设备，专门用于支持工程研究。该设备将用于建立一个协调的实验控制实验室的基础设施。这将用于提高现有实验的控制能力，并将这些实验集成到计算机网络中，从而促进数据传输和存储，并使应用于先进的识别、控制或图像处理技术。要求国家科学基金会提供的款项为31,300美元。UCSB工程学院将提供2万美元的设备购买配套资金。圣芭芭拉的一家公司将提供价值8490美元的配套设备礼物。个人实验研究项目包括：不确定系统的建模与控制；非线性过程控制；磁轴承;基于视觉的传感与控制；原子力显微镜控制与图像处理；以及半导体沉积过程的原子水平控制。将这些实验连接到一个共同的数据和控制网络将极大地促进思想的交流和新算法和方法的应用。这将提供一个独特的设施，将在各种各样的应用中培养新的研究想法。＊＊＊

9500047 Smith The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will purchase real-time control system equipment which will be dedicated to support research in engineering. The equipment will be used to set up the infrastructure for a coordinated experimental control laboratory. This will be used to improve the control capability on existing experiments and to integrate these experiments into a computer network, thereby facilitating data transfer and storage, and enabling the application to advanced identification, control, or image processing techniques. The sum requested from NSF is $31,300. The UCSB College of Engineering will provide $20,000 in equipment purchase matching funds. A Santa Barbara company, Magnetic Moments will provide a matching equipment gift worth $8,490. The individual experimental research projects involve: modeling and control of uncertain systems; nonlinear process control; magnetic bearings; vision based sensing and control; atomic force microscope control and image processing; and atomic level control of semiconductor deposition processes. The connection of these experiments to a common data an control network will greatly facilitate the cross fertilization of ideas and the application of new algorithms and approaches. This will provide a unique facility that will foster new research ideas across a wide variety of applications. ***
