This project is mainly focusing on the development and performances analysis of the Remotely Amphibian Vehicle (RAV). This innovation mends to assist human in aquatic operation as well as aerial activity. However, this is still a very recent groundwork with numbers of limitation and challenge. Challenges like transition in medium has limited and affected the performance of the vehicle in terms of...
In this paper it is described the prototyping of an instrumented chair that allows to fully-automate the “Timed Up and Go”, the “30-Second Chair Stand” and the “Hand-Force ” tests assessment. The presented functional chair prototype is a low cost approach that uses inexpensive sensors and the Arduino platform as the data acquisition board, with its software developed in LabVIEW. The “Timed up and...
A numeric virtual platform of semi-automatic hydraulic upender was built in MSC.ADAMS, and discharge port was modeled flexibly. The virtual shock test of the discharge port was conducted on this platform according to the impact force models to obtain the anti-shock performance limits of the upended. This method can simplify designing and researching processes of mechanical product, shorten researching...
The virtual prototyping model of Crank and Link Mechanism of Engine was constructed on ADAMS software by three dimensional model which produced on three dimensional modeling software; Through theoretical analysis of inertial force and moment of Crank and Link Mechanism, dynamical simulation was carried on in ADAMS software, and then the position of mass point of Crank and Link Mechanism of Engine...
In this work, a spherical shape portable data acquisition system capable of sensing compression and impact forces along the three Cartesian axes is presented. The developed instrument was validated in several different experiments of fruit packing houses during the post harvest process in order to check the mechanical damages they suffer. It is a microcontroller embedded system that acquires data...
Applications of 3 dimensional (3-D) virtual reality are now possible on current mobile phones due to the advances in mobile 3-D graphics technologies. However, the user-interface to these applications is generally still limited to the basic phone keypad which detracts from the sophisticated experience 3-D worlds can provide. In this paper we present a solution to this problem which utilizes the accelerometers...
The UNICORE grid system provides a seamless, secure and intuitive access to distributed grid resources. In recent years, UNICORE 5 is used as a well-tested grid middleware system in production grids (e.g. DEISA, D-Grid) and at many supercomputer centers world-wide. Beyond this production usage, UNICORE serves as a solid basis in many European and International research projects and business scenarios...
Ontologies enable explicit expression of collective concepts and support Machine-to-Machine (M2M) interactions at the semantic level. Ontologies expressed in a standard language, such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and exposed on a network offer the potential for unprecedented interoperability solutions since they are semantically rich, computer interpretable and inherently extensible. Rules that...
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a critical application in military networks for maintaining situational awareness and conducting battle management at all echelons. But these networks are often subject to frequent disconnections, limited bandwidth, and long delays, especially when using satellite services and field radios. Such conditions are inhospitable to TCP, and thus the standard IRC protocol, which...
