Glaucoma is the second leading cause for blindness. Irreversible and progressive optic nerve damage results when the intraocular pressure (IOP) exceeds 21 mmHg [1]. The elevated IOP is attributed to blocked fluid drainage from the eye. Methods to measure the IOP are widely available, but methods to measure the viscous response to blocked drainage has yet been developed. An indentation method to characterize...
Our previous research has shown that distributed storage capacity at load centers (e.g. Deferrable demand) controlled by a system operator can lower total system costs by smoothing out and flattening the daily dispatch profile of conventional generating units and providing ramping services. Since it is in reality impractical for system operators to control large numbers of customers with deferrable...
The objective of this paper is to show that customers can benefit from a smart grid if they become more active participants in electricity markets by 1) relying more on deferrable demand (e.g. electric vehicles and augmenting space conditioning with thermal storage) to shift demand away from peak periods and buy more electricity when prices are low at night, and 2) selling ancillary services such...
This paper deals with the dynamical modeling and posture control of the electromechanical actuator (EMA)-based thrust vector control (TVC) system for aircraft engines. Addressing the issues of the large inertia and low stiffness existing in the TVC system driven by EMA, this paper established a 2-DOF mathematical model to describe the EMA dynamic characteristics. In order to overcome the influence...
