A method for coupling of local and global fields related to currents, voltages and magnetic fields in magnetodynamic problems is developed in the frame of the finite subproblem finite element method. The method allows to correct the errors arising from thin conducting regions, that replace volume thin regions by surfaces but neglect border effects in…

Combining state-of-the-art additive manufacturing technologies with structural optimization has the potential to produce geometrically complex multi-material components with integrated functionalities and desired structural behavior. In this article, the simulation-driven design process of a multi-material light-weight gripper with an integrated pneumatic bellows actuator is described. The design of the bellows structure is based on a previously…

High Performance Computing (HPC) systems offer excellent metrics for speed and efficiency when using bare metal hardware, a high speed interconnects, and massively parallel applications. However, this leaves out a significant portion of scientific computational tasks, namely high throughput computing tasks that can be trivially parallelized and scientific workflows that require their own well-defined software…

The 5G is the fifth generation of mobile broadband, cellular technologies, and networks that promises a major change in mobility by evolving connected business realities. In such an emerging environment, reliable Service Level Agreements (SLA) and anticipation of breaches of Service Level Objectives (SLO) become compulsory. Thus, guaranteeing the required service quality, while also ensuring…

TSN is an attractive solution for latency-critical frame transmission built upon IEEE 802 architecture. Traffic scheduling and shaping in TSN aim to achieve bounded low latency and zero congestion loss. However, the most widespread solution (i.e. Time-Aware Shaper) requires a networkwide precision clock reference and only targets on cyclical traffic flows. This paper focuses on…

The task of optimal path planning for drilling tool with numerical control is considered. Such tools are used in the production of printed circuit boards. The algorithm modification of level-by-level route construction for the approximate solution of the traveling salesman problem is discussed. Bypass objects can be specified either as a table of distances or…

This work extends the development of the nonuniform Parallel Digital Ramp Pulse Position Modulation Analog-to-Digital Converter (PDRADC) architecture. The continuous to discrete transform of the PDRADC is achieved by partitioning the signal amplitude axis into P nonoverlapping partitions that sample the analog input at input signal driven instances. Each partition contains L uniform levels with…

Just as electricity has an essential role in our lives, the internet network and especially web services have become of vital importance nowadays. Without security service layers, apparently small things like checking a child’s school schedule on web may turn the daily routine into a nightmare. Web services users are still required to use many…

Almost every cells in human’s body contain the same number of genes so what makes them different is which genes are expressed at any time. Measuring gene expression can be done by measuring the amount of mRNA molecules. However, it is a very expensive and time consuming task. Using computational methods can help biologists to…

Metaheuristic hybridization has recently been widely studied and discussed in many research works as it allows benefiting from the strengths of metaheuristics by combining adequately the different algorithms. MMACS is a new hybrid ant colony optimization algorithm based on the foraging behavior of ants. This algorithm presents two hybridization levels. The first hybridization consists in…

A sequential pre-treatment of demineralization and torrefaction, was carried out on palm empty fruit bunches (EFB). EFB and demineralized EFB (DEFB) were torrefied in a vertical tubular reactor in the temperature range of 200 to 280 °C for 30 mins under nitrogen (flow rate:100 mL/min. The pretreated samples were characterized using proximate and ultimate analyses,…

Advanced sensing technologies are providing for greater capabilities to discern and classify details of objects as they appear in actual environments as experienced by nonprofessional drivers. Distinctive geometric configurations of new sensory devices including but not limited to infrared (abbreviated as IR) and LIDAR sensory units are appearing as cost effective data acquisition systems for…

In this article, a new method to extract the RLC parameters from the structure of a Rotating Traveling Wave Oscillator (RTWO) is described.

Data from different sensors location is compared to know which sensor location have better recognition rate. Different walking scenarios like slow, normal…

Selection of a routing protocol is vital for modern arena of Internet communication as network traffic and network complexities are rapidly increasing. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of three routing protocols namely routing information protocol version 2 (RIPv2), open shortest path first (OSPF), enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP), and hybrid protocols based on these…

Multicore processor combines two or more independent cores onto one integrated circuit.
