Abstract: A method and an apparatus for time slot multiplexing, and a communication device. At least one multiplexing node group in a subnet of a TDMA communication system may be determined according to a connection relationship among all nodes in the subnet, where a shortest communication link between every two nodes in each multiplexing node group includes at least the preset quantity of nodes, the preset quantity of nodes includes the two nodes, and the preset quantity is no less than 4. For each multiplexing node group, a multiplexing time slot allocated to the multiplexing node group is determined, and each node in the multiplexing node group is controlled to transmit data in the multiplexing time slot. The time slots can be shared by the nodes in the multiplexing node group, and therefore multiple nodes can transmit data in the multiplexing time slot.

Abstract: Method for constructing a continuous design space for generating a physical property model in a faulted subsurface medium. The matching relationship of the fault traces on the two sides of each fault is used in a systematic way to determine the location of the fault traces in the design space. The location of any other point in the design space may then be determined by interpolation of the locations of fault traces. The fault traces are thus used as control points for the mapping. The method involves: (a) identifying the control points and determining their location in both physical and design space and (b) using selected control points, mapping any point from physical space to design space, preferably using the moving least squares method.

Abstract: A control device to perform feedback control based on a current value, and output a first voltage value includes a feedforward controller using an inverse model of a plant; a feedforward voltage corrector to correct a voltage disturbance due to a modeling error between the plant and a model of the plant; a repetitive controller to learn periodic current disturbances; and a switch. The switch is ON when the current response is in a steady state, and the repetitive controller learns the disturbances and corrects a command current value. A feedback controller outputs the first voltage value by performing the feedback control based on a current value from the corrected command current value, and inputs the command current value to the inverse model to generate a second voltage value. The control device outputs a sum of the first and the second voltage value as a command voltage value.
