This paper investigates the problem of fixed-time attitude coordinated control for multi-spacecraft systems with unknown external disturbance. Firstly, a distributed fixed-time observer is introduced to estimate the states of the virtual leader. The observer can track the leader completely in a fixed time without dependence on the initial conditions of the leader and observer. Then, we propose a novel nonsingular fixed-time sliding mode tracking controller to address the fixed-time attitude tracking problem. It is noteworthy that the requirement on initial conditions of spacecraft is removed in the proposed nonsingular sliding mode controller. Due to the robustness of sliding mode control, the influence of external disturbance can be eliminated, such that each spacecraft can track desired attitude trajectories precisely in a fixed time. Hence, the fixed-time attitude coordination for multiple spacecraft can be achieved. Finally, numerical simulation results and comparisons reveal the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

This work studies the attitude coordination tracking problem for multiple spacecraft with consideration of unintended faults (communication link faults and actuator faults), inertial uncertainties, and external disturbances under a directed communication graph. A resilient neuroadaptive distributed fixed-time control scheme is investigated to solve this challenging problem. First, an improved adaptive distributed observer is established for followers to estimate the states of the leader when considering communication link faults.

This paper addressed the robust distributed fixed-time cooperative hunting problem of multiple quadrotors subject to disturbances in obstacles environment. To handle the underactuated issue inherent in quadrotor dynamics, an inner-outer (attitude-position) loop cascade control configuration is proposed to achieve the cooperative flight control of quadrotors. For position subsystem, as the information of target cannot be accessible to all quadrotors, a distributed fixed-time observer is devised to estimate the target's information.

Introduction: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by deletions and/or mutations in the survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. Risdiplam, the first and only oral SMN2 pre-mRNA splicing modifier, is US Food and Drug Administration-approved for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with SMA. For patients with SMA, long-term adherence to and persistence with an SMA treatment may be important for achieving maximum clinical benefits.

This paper investigates the stabilization problem with a fixed-time approach for a flexible spacecraft subject to vibrations of flexible modes, unknown bounded disturbance, and inherent uncertainty. To estimate the modal variables of a flexible spacecraft which are often unmeasurable in practice, an observer with guaranteed fixed-time convergence is designed. Using the estimated modal variables, a fixed-time non-singular sliding mode controller is designed so that the desired attitude can be reached before a pre-specified time threshold regardless of the spacecraft's initial attitude.

Fixed-time interval vs on-demand oral analgesia after vaginal delivery: a randomized controlled trial.

Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM

May 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel (Drs Bachar, Alter, Justman, Buchnik Fater, Farago, Ben-David, Abu-Rass, Siegler, Hajaj, Landau-Levin, Zipori, Khatib, Weiner, and Vitner); Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel (Drs Zipori, Khatib, Weiner, and Vitner).

Background: Scheduled administration of analgesics was proven superior to on-demand dosing following cesarean deliveries. However, this protocol was not compared after vaginal delivery.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of a fixed- vs on-demand analgesic protocol for the management of pain in the first 24 hours after a vaginal delivery.
