In this book, we present a pilot control algorithm, which converts two joysticks’ commands into two torque directives for movement. This technique allows the user to operate the ABTWC linearly for both motion and orientation control via a joystick. Since a human being is involved in the operation of an ABTWC, the rider faces the danger of being injured in a fall if any system failure occurs. Therefore, the rider should be warned immediately when any system failure develops, ensuring that proper action can be taken to avoid a dangerous accident. A model-based fault-detection filter is designed to detect sensor faults. This book employs a PI observer to detect abnormal information in an ABTWC caused by actuator faults and steering load-...

Conveyor belt sushi (also called sushi-go-round, mainly by foreigners living in Japan) is the popular English translation for Japanese fast-food sushi. In Australia, it is also known as sushi train (as the sushi goes around a track on a train, rather than a conveyor belt). Kaiten-zushi is a sushi restaurant where the plates with the sushi are placed on a rotating conveyor belt that winds through the restaurant and moves past every table and counter seat. Customers may place special orders, but most simply pick their selections from a steady stream of fresh sushi moving along the conveyor belt. The final bill is...

Convection in porous media has a large field of application. Firstly, this book presents an analytical and numerical study of the generation and flow of methane gas through a layer of porous medium impregnated with solid clathrate hydrates. Later, design with constructal theory is addressed. We start studying the fundamental problem of maximizing the thermal contact between an entire heat-generating volume and a pulsating stream of coolant that bathes the volume. A series of examples in which the global performance of flow systems is optimized subject to global constraints is also presented. The text continues describing a hierarchical strategy to developing the optimal internal structure of a round heat-generating body cooled at its...

A belt conveyor consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material – the conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler. There are two main industrial classes of belt conveyors; Those in general a material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory and a bulk material handling such as those used to transport industrial and agricultural materials, such as grain, coal, ores, etc. generally in outdoor locations. Generally companies providing general material handling type belt conveyors do not provide the conveyors for bulk...

The Conversational Monitor System (CMS; originally: "Cambridge Monitor System") is a relatively simple interactive computing single-user operating system. CMS is part of IBM's VM family, which runs on IBM mainframe computers. VM was first announced in 1972, and is still in use today (cf. z/VM). CMS was originally developed as part of IBM's CP/CMS operating system, which went into production use in 1967. CMS runs as a "guest" operating system in a private virtual machine created by the VM control program. The control program plus CMS together create a multi-user time-sharing operating system.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Photon transport theories, such as the Monte Carlo method, are commonly used to model light propagation in tissue. The responses to a pencil beam incident on a scattering medium are referred to as Green’s functions or impulse responses. Photon transport methods can be directly used to compute broad-beam responses by distributing photons over the cross section of the beam. However, convolution can be used in certain cases to improve computational efficiency. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It is the best-known example of a cellular automaton. The "game" is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input from humans. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to transfer process waste heat to the atmosphere. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the dry-bulb air temperature. Common applications include cooling the circulating water used in oil refineries, chemical plants, power stations and building cooling. The towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures (as in Image 1) that can be up to 200 metres tall and 100 metres in...

In this thesis, we propose data sharing schemes for the cooperative diversity in a cellular uplink to exploit spatial diversity and enhance throughput performance of the system. Particularly, we consider new two and three-or-more user decode and forward (DF) protocols using space time block codes and also amplify and forward (AF) protocols and evaluate the performance of the above mentioned data sharing protocols in terms of the bit error rate and the throughput in an asynchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular uplink. We develop a linear receiver for joint space-time decoding and multiuser detection that provides full diversity and near maximum-likelihood performance. We also focus on a practical situation where...

The coordinated motion of a group of autonomous mobile robots has received significant research interest as well as avoiding the collisions in the group in the last decade. This book presents two novel approaches inclusive of a new collision avoidance scheme after framing the literature on the subject matter. Firstly, a method that introduces a virtual reference system consistent of virtual mass-spring-damper units, which in turn implies online collision-free trajectories. In the latter, online generation of reference trajectories for the robots is enabled in terms of their linear and angular velocities. The presented collision avoidance algorithm updates the velocities of the robots when a collision is predicted. Along with the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In game theory, coordination games are a class of games with multiple pure strategy Nash equilibria in which players choose the same or corresponding strategies. Coordination games are a formalization of the idea of a coordination problem, which is widespread in the social sciences, including economics, meaning situations in which all parties can realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions. A common application is the choice of technological standards. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

Much focus has been given to the synthesis of polypeptidic based materials due to their unique structural features. These polypeptides commonly are amphiphilic in character that benefit from secondary structural features associated with one of the polymer blocks. These features, such as alpha- helix and beta-sheet conformations, allow for control over nanoscale ordering through self- assembly for use in biological sensors and therapeutic drug delivery. We report the preparation and characterization of charged amphiphilic block copolypeptide vesicle formers using transition metal mediated living ring-opening polymerization of N- carboxyanhydrides (NCAs). The vesicle membranes show fluidic properties suggested by dynamic physical behavior...

Electrochemical Deposition (ECD) has become the most promising technology for copper interconnect on ULSI circuits since 1997. Dual damascene technology followed by ECD has allowed for copper to replace aluminum in the ULSI interconnect. The ECD method needs a seed layer, but it becomes more difficult to conformally deposit a seed layer for copper ECD as the feature size decreases beyond 65 nm. Depositing seed layers on diffusion barrier layers, the inner volume of trenches and vias for copper filling is reduced further. Due to these difficulties, seedless copper ECD was developed in order to reach the flaw-free fill of copper for ULSI interconnect with high aspect ratios. This book deals with the seedless copper ECD directly onto...
