Abstract: A robotic arm control system is provided. In, the robotic arm control system, any three points A, B, and C of an object to be determined are picked, thereby creating an original coordinate system. A robotic arm is directed to rotate around the x-axis of the original coordinate system to reach the points B and C. During the rotation of the robotic arm, the three points A, B, and C are recorded by a visual process. A non-linear mapping relation of the original coordinate system and the operation coordinate system is calculated according to length ratios, an angular ratio, and a differential ratio of the difference of the length ratios to the angle between the line A-B and the line A-C, thereby controlling the movement of the robotic arm according to the non-linear mapping relation. The disclosure further provides a robotic arm control method.

Abstract: A computing device and a method for scattering parameter equivalent circuit reads a scattering parameter file from a storage device. A non-common-pole rational function of the scattering parameters in the scattering parameter file is created by applying a vector fitting algorithm to the scattering parameters. Passivity of the non-common-pole rational function is enforced if the non-common-pole rational function does not satisfy a determined passivity requirement.

The control chip has a plurality of ground pins. The computer searches for signal path routing of each ground pin and ground vias along each signal path routing of each ground pin.

Abstract: A direct current compensation method for S-parameter rational functions reads S-parameters f(sk), which are generated at given frequency sk, from a storage unit. An S-parameter, which is generated at frequency sk=0 is supplemented into the S-parameters f(sk), upon the condition that there is no S-parameter which is generated at the frequency sk=0. An S-parameter ration function is generated according to the S-parameters f(sk). A DC level of the S-parameter rational function is compensated to generate a compensated S-parameter rational function.

Abstract: A method for modulating multiple-instruments and multiple-sensors using an electronic device. The electronic device controls an instrument to measure the working parameters of an object, and controls a sensor to detect the working temperature of the object. By comparing the working parameters against a predefined range, and comparing the working temperature against a predefined temperature value, the electronic device determines whether the instrument and the sensor need to be modulated. If any of the working parameters is not within the predefined range or if the working temperature is greater than the predefined temperature value, the electronic device controls the instrument and the sensor to be modulated by using a modulation transfer function and a predetermined direction.

Abstract: A simulation system for producing equivalent circuits reads data corresponding to a tabular W element format in a storage device, and adds data of the tabular W element format file using interpolation algorithm. A frequency-dependent transmission matrix is transformed into an N-port network matrix describing electrical properties of a multi-input and multi-output network. An N-port network matrix is transformed into a S-parameter matrix. A range of frequency of a s-parameter is determined and numbers of pole-residue, times for recursion and durable maximum system errors in the equivalent circuit is also determined. A vector fitting algorithm is performed and a rational function matrix composed with s-parameters is produced, to produce a general SPICE equivalent circuit based on the generated rational function matrix.

A detecting pin is fixed on each of the detecting bars. Under a driving action of the driving mechanism on the transmitting plates, the transmitting plates are activated to slide in the guiding grooves to cause the detecting bars to move close to or apart from each other, whereby a distance between the two detecting pins is automatically regulated.

The device and method further analyzes if eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian matrix have pure imaginaries, to determine if the non-common-pole rational function of the S-parameters satisfies a passivity requirement.

Abstract: A simulation system and method for generating equivalent circuits compatible with HSPICE reads data corresponding to N-port network system format in a storage device, and obtains S-parameter matrixes from the N-port network system. S-parameters in the S-parameter matrix that satisfy passivity are checked, and an interpolation algorithm to supplement S-parameters with passivity when some S-parameters not satisfy passivity is performed. Numbers of pole-residue, times for recursion and a tolerant system error of a rational function are generated for determining S-parameters. A rational function matrix composed of S-parameters is generated by performing a vector fitting algorithm, and an equivalent circuit is generated compatible with HSPICE format based on the generated rational function matrix.

Abstract: In a method for controlling motion of a mechanical arm, the method moves the mechanical arm horizontally or vertically so that an image capturing device of the mechanism arm focuses on an object. The contours of the object are analyzed, and a central area of the object is established. By making the center of the image area of the image capturing device coincide with the center area of the object at least twice, the method records two positions of the mechanical arm, and calculates a total apparent displacement value of the object and a distance between the object and camera lens of the image capturing device according to the first position, the second position of the mechanical arm and the total apparent displacement value of the object. The method ensures accurate positioning of the mechanical arm.
