High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The exoskeletal engine concept represents a paradigm shift in turbomachinery design. Current gas turbine engines have central rotating shafts and discs and are constructed mostly from heavy metals. They require lubricated bearings and need extensive cooling for hot components. They are also subject to severe imbalance that could wipe out the whole rotor stage, are prone to high- and low-cycle fatigue, and subject to catastrophic failure due to disc bursts from high tensile loads, consequently requiring heavy containment devices. To address these limitations, the ESE concept turns the conventional configuration inside-out and utilizes a drum-type rotor design for the turbomachinery in which the...

The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle is the newest United States Marine Corps amphibious vehicle, intended for deployment in 2015. It was renamed from the Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle in late 2003. The USMC has reduced the number to be purchased from 1,013 to 573 AAAVs by 2015 due to escalation in unit cost. The vehicle is an amphibious armored personnel carrier; launched at sea, from an amphibious assault ship beyond the horizon, able to transport a full Marine rifle squad to shore. It will maneuver cross country with an agility and mobility equal to or greater than the M1 Abrams. The EFV is designed to replace the aging Amphibious Assault...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Expeller pressing (also called oil pressing) is a mechanical method for extracting oil from raw materials. The raw materials are squeezed under high pressure in a single step. When used for the extraction of food oils, typical raw materials are nuts, seeds and algae, which are supplied to the press in a continuous feed. Expeller presses can recover 75% of the oil from algae. As the raw material is pressed, friction causes it to heat up; in the case of harder nuts (which require higher pressures) the material can exceed temperatures of 120 °F.

The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT) was a concept developed by Walt Disney near the end of his lifetime. It was his intended purpose for the property purchased near Disney World Resort, including Epcot (formerly known as EPCOT Center), to be a "community of the future" designed to stimulate American corporations to come up with new ideas for urban living. Of EPCOT, Walt Disney is quoted as saying, "EPCOT will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are emerging from the forefront of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed. It will always be showcasing and testing and demonstrating new materials and new systems." Данное издание не...

Recently there has been an increasing interest in what is called Evidence Based Asset Management. The principle of EBAM is to use all available information in form of statistical data or expert knowledge to frame the problem as a mathematical model which can be solved by optimization techniques. As we employ complex reliability and maintenance models it becomes difficult to find the necessary statistical data in appropriate formats. Available knowledge elicitation techniques usually require high proficiency in statistical and cognitive techniques. In this book after a comprehensive review of the literature on knowledge elicitation and formulation techniques, I have presented a simple methodology that elicits expert knowledge to be used...

Airbeams take the form of beams or arches and carry shear, moments and thrusts. Assessing the load-deformation response of an airbeam is essential in the design of an airbeam-supported tent. Modeling of the airbeams requires that fabric constitutive properties be available to obtain optimal design of airbeam structures. However, airbeam technology is relatively new; there are few standard tests for determining fabric constitutive properties and to be used for fabric quality control. This research reviews the current state of the art in textile testing and recommends test practices for accurately identifying the constitutive properties of the airbeam fabrics. Preliminary test results from loading of inflated airbeams have also been...

Models are as accurate as the data that are fed into them. This is specially true in the case of the sulphide capacities of metallurgical slags. This book describes the tasks that the present author has undertaken to generate a set of accurate and self- consistent data. Incorporation of these data in the sulphide capacity model developed by the present author and co-workers has enables an accurate extrapolation of the sulphide capacities of multi- component slags as a functions of temperature and composition.

An expert system is software that attempts to provide an answer to a problem, or clarify uncertainties where normally one or more human experts would need to be consulted. Expert systems are most common in a specific problem domain, and is a traditional application and/or subfield of artificial intelligence. A wide variety of methods can be used to simulate the performance of the expert however common to most or all are 1) the creation of a so-called ""knowledgebase"" which uses some knowledge representation formalism to capture the Subject Matter Expert's (SME) knowledge and 2) a process of gathering that knowledge from the SME and codifying it according to the formalism, which is called knowledge engineering. Expert systems may or may...

In this work, several novel algorithms for the numerical simulation of homogeneous gas-phase combustion chemistry are introduced and investigated. In the first instance, stochastic methods for the numerical solution of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are developed based on the theory of Markov pure-jump processes. By establishing a correspondence principle between stochastic and deterministic schemes, further algorithms of both types are obtained. In particular, a scheme for the deterministic direct simulation of chemical reactions is devised. All methods under consideration have in common that they are explicit, and hence conceptually very simple and easy to implement. For three of the proposed algorithms, detailed...

The exploding-bridgewire detonator is a type of detonator used to initiate the detonation reaction in explosive materials, similar to a blasting cap in that it is fired using an electric current. EBWs use a different physical mechanism than blasting caps, using more electricity delivered much more rapidly, and explode in a much more precise timing after the electric current is applied. This has led to their common use in nuclear weapons. The slapper detonator is a more recent development along similar lines. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The two Explorer class submarines were experimental vessels built for the Royal Navy to test a propulsion system based on the use of highly concentrated Hydrogen peroxide and diesel fuel to achieve high underwater endurance and speeds. Germany had started experimenting with this technology early in the Second World War and developed it into the Walter cycle. They had built some experimental boats. One of these, the U-Boat 1407, which had been scuttled at the end of the war was salvaged and eventually recommissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS Meteorite. This eventually led to the construction of the two Explorer class experimental vessels, which used steam turbines, the steam being generated...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Exploratory engineering is a term coined by K. Eric Drexler to describe the process of designing and analyzing detailed hypothetical models of systems that are not feasible with current technologies or methods, but do seem to be clearly within the bounds of what science considers to be possible within the narrowly defined scope of operation of the hypothetical system model. It usually results in paper or video prototypes, or computer models that are as convincing as possible to those that know the relevant science, given the lack of experimental confirmation. By analogy with protoscience, it might be considered a form of protoengineering. Данное издание не является...

State estimation plays a key role in the knowledge of characteristic variables of a system. By combining information from hardware sensor measurements and mathematical models, it improves the knowledge of the relevant variables used for advanced control or monitoring strategies. Moreover, a lot of state estimation techniques exist and try to improve accuracy despite uncertainties. In this context, this work provides an overview of useful state estimation techniques and gives extensions with robustness to uncertainties as objective. Two application fields are investigated with their own objectives in terms of safety and accuracy : safe vehicle positioning and bioprocesses. This book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces...

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an approach to analysing data for the purpose of formulating hypotheses worth testing, complementing the tools of conventional statistics for testing hypotheses. It was so named by John Tukey to contrast with Confirmatory Data Analysis, the term used for the set of ideas about hypothesis testing, p-values, confidence intervals etc. which formed the key tools in the arsenal of practising statisticians at the time.

Image classification is one of the most widely used techniques on remote sensing data. Whereas the actual supervised classification of satellite image is a highly automated process, assembling the training data needed for such classification is anything but automatic. Our research has focused on developing a method to extract the training samples for some classes automatically from the data itself by analyzing the discrete fourier transform of the temporal signatures of every class. The multi- temporal data allows us to characterize objects based on their dynamic processes rather than static properties like color,shape, etc and this is being successfully demonstrated in this research. Other utilities of the time series data like...

It sports a space age architecture designed by world renowned architect Sir Norman Foster. The roof is clad in titanium, steel, and glass, and its design enabled the platform to be columns-free and invoking a sense of spaciousness. This design is also functional in that it handles human traffic which deviates significantly on a daily basis due to its proximity to the Singapore Expo, where human traffic is dependent on the timing of events held. The large space is thus needed to facilitate smooth traffic flow.The section of underground track between this...
