For the problem that the compaction effect is not well in the existing municipal solid waste(MSW) compaction device, a new compactor and container for the MSW compaction was presented. A compacting way for MSW was given, which has better performance in the compaction effect and tightness of the waste. A push-shovel-shaped compactor device of the MSW compaction was designed by optimizing the compactor structure of traditional MSW compaction device, which the compress ratios and compaction effect can be improved. A new waste container matching with the designed push-shovel-shaped compactor was presented by improving the structure and sewage outfall of the existing MSW container. Such a compactor device and container for the MSW compaction were analyzed using the finite element method. The analysis results show the push-shovel-shaped compactor has better compaction effect compared to the planar and wedgeshaped compaction device currently used. The results can provide some reference theory to the design and manufacture of the MSW compaction device.

Aiming at the frequency and complexity of traffic accidents on straight road, according to artificial potential field theory, this paper presents a local path planning algorithm for autonomous vehicle collision avoidance based on dangerous repellant fields. By constructing a model of China abacus-like road with two-lane and dangerous repellant fields, bead achieved the equilibrium which is based on road boundary repellant, obstacle boundary repellant and linear spring tension. Thus, we got a non-linear equations, and solved out a non-collision trajectory which meets the requirements of vehicle system dynamics by using Newton iteration. Simulation experimental results show that the algorithm for vehicle collision avoidance is effective with the characteristics like little computation workload, good real-time performance and outstanding security and reliability.

To achieve the rapid and steady position control for sampling arm, a selfadapting fuzzy-PID controller which was combined with fuzzy control and traditional PID was proposed. The use of fuzzy logic controller made the parameter of self-adapting of position PID controller possible, it also made the controller have more adaptive ability and anti-disturbance ability. The controller also has the equal high precision with the traditional PID controller. Simulation results showed the self-adapting fuzzy-PID position controller has anti-interference ability. The controller also had faster response and shorter adjustment time than traditional PID position controller. The sampling arm motion control experiment was done. The self-adapting fuzzy-PID control was verified by changing the motion environment of sampling arm and its accuracy motion control ability and adaptive ability was also tested. It can provide the reference for the similar controller design.

During the design process of composite positioning control system(CPCS) for the DC motor, it was found that the dynamic response curves for the motor speed etc. were oscillated, and they showed a certain degree of instability. In order to explore the correlation between the oscillation and the internal structure of the CPCS, we analyzed and compared the dynamic response curves, the root locus maps, and the frequency characteristics on MATLAB. The result shows that by using the reduced-order method, the transferring function of the high-order control system can be simplified as a basic form of a real zero, a real pole and two pairs of complex conjugate poles. The root cause of the oscillation and the stability reduction of the CPCS system is the removal of the pair of complex conjugate poles that are closer to the origin. By increasing the real part or decreasing the imaginary part of another pair of complex conjugate poles, the system oscillation can be reduced or eliminated. This conclusion has important reference value of improving the control system,s positioning accuracy and stability.

A novel composite right/left-handed transmission line was proposed by inserting 2-iteration Hilbert-fractal slots into a substrate integrated waveguide, in order to design compact antenna with a high peak gain. The equivalent circuit for the proposed transmission line was shown, and the circuit parameters were extracted. The dispersion diagram of the transmission line was achieved through using MATLAB. Then, a short-ended slot antenna was designed and fabricated based on the transmission line. The antenna working on the 1st order has a simple feeding network. It provides smaller electronic size and higher peak gain than reported composite right/left-handed resonant antennas. These prominent performances make it good candidate for modern wireless communication system.

At present, there is mature technology about automatic feeding of rigid body which has certain shape and dimension, but there is no perfect solution for automatic feeding of flexible body. So an automatic feeding machine of kelp strip which has high flexibility character was designed. The automatic feeding machine was controlled by PLC, and was driven by stepping motor,and a turntable that intermittently rotating 180° around the horizontal axis, and two dedicated fixtures that symmetrically layout on the turntable and used for clamping kelp strip were also included in this machine. Through experiments in consideration of friction coefficient between kelp strips and nylon, the law of relationships between curved shape of kelp strip and its length that stretched out under the role of gravity, and the strength of kelp strip,the basic physical and mechanical performance of kelp strip was obtained. The dedicated fixture which had adequate clamping force for kelp strip was designed and manufactured, the thickness is 0.5-1.5 mm, and kelp strip could be pulled out from the fixture smoothly. The mechanical system and the control system design of the automatic feeding machine of kelp strip were completed by this paper. Through commissioning for the automatic feeding machine of kelp strip, we found that, the feeding machine met the automatic feeding requirement for the kelp-knotted machine.
