Partial reconfiguration on heterogeneous field-programmable gate arrays with millions of gates yields better utilization of its different types of resources by swapping in and out the appropriate modules of one or more applications at any instant of time. Given a schedule of sub-task instances where each instance is specified as a netlist of active modules, reconfiguration overhead can be reduced...
In today's system-on-chip designs, both digital and analog parts of a circuit will be implemented on the same chip. Parasitic mismatch induced by layout will affect circuit performance significantly for analog designs. Consideration of symmetry and common centroid constraints during placement can help to reduce these errors. Besides these two specific types of placement constraints, other constraints,...
We are developing a Semi-Autonomous Remote Maintenance Robot for power distribution line maintenance tasks. The system is operated by task instructions; for examples, “Peeling electric cable cover”, “Remove the insulator” and so on. When the system receives a task instruction it measures the task object position; modifies the arm positions in the move commands; and then performs the task. In this...
We propose a non-invasive ultrasound theragnostic system that tracks movement in an affected area (kidney stones, in the present study) by irradiating the area with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). In the present paper, the concept behind a novel medical support system that integrates therapy and diagnostics (theragnostics) is illustrated. The required functions for the proposed system are...
Nowadays thermoplastic composites are commonly used owing to their good mechanical properties, which can be ensured only by the proper mixing of different types of materials. In this paper, we present the results of our studies regarding the fuzzy modeling of the relation between the yield strength and the amount of the used components (ABS, polycarbonate, multiwall carbon nanotube). The initial rule...
We have proposed a hollow tube type micropump which integrates a liquid flow driving part such as a PZT piezoelectric material and a tube part. And the flow function demonstrated by the hollow tube type micropump was evaluated and it is confirmed that the flow velocities by the pump were increased and decreased. We examined the improvement of the pump. Here, it is effective to give a large vibration...
Plastic profiles produced by extrusion die are cooled down and calibrated by calibrators, so it is very important to properly design the cooling system in calibrator for the profile quality. Based on the finite element method (FEM) and the finite difference method (FDM), the numerical simulation of the cooling process is realized for plastic profile within calibrator. The simultaneous shape and topology...
Massive parallel computing performed on many-core Network-on-Chips (NoCs) is the future of the computing. One feasible approach to implement parallel computing is to deploy multiple applications on the NoC simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a multi-application mapping method starting with the application mapping which finds a region on the NoC for each application and then task mapping which...
One of oldest and best-known methods used in constructive testing of smaller programs is the symbolic program execution. It is partly similar to method of simulation of computer function, but differs in aim. One of ways to prove whether given program is written correctly is to execute it symbolically. Aim of this paper is to test ramified program structure using single symbolic set of inputs, in one...
An Air Bearing Strip Flatness Detector (ABSFD) , manufactured in China, was adapted to measure the strip flatness in cold rolling mills on-line. This paper presents how it works, static and dynamic characteristics, part edge strip cover roller and its transient response. It has been successfully serviced on line of 1400 aluminum foil cold rolling mill for six years, which the rolling speed is up to...
Cellular Automata (CA) model is extensively applied to pedestrian evacuation simulation in emergency, but little research is about pedestrian behavior of orderly activities in normal situation. Based on queue theory, CA, finite state machine model and visibility graph, queuing behavior and path search algorithm are modeled. Considering the direction of queue activities, a pedestrian locomotion behavior...
Pulsed anti-riots water cannon is one kind of non-lethal weapon which have been used extensively throughout the world. In order to reduce the use of irritants, water and improve its atomization effect, a new type of anti-riots water cannon suppose to be designed, which use the high-pressure gas to drive the mixture of water and irritants to dispel large group of people in long distance. The mathematic...
With the different parameters selection, Beta distribution can be transformed into various other distribution, ranging from simple distribution to complex distribution, from symmetrical distribution to asymmetrical distribution of the distribution. So Beta distribution is of highly adaptable, Beta Distribution is recommended to fit for the types of random variables distribution of Geotechnical Engineering...
Due to the high accuracy, Daubechies wavelet-based elements have been widely used in many engineering problems. However, comparing with traditional elements, wavelet-based elements always bring in more calculation works, especially as a higher element order is selected. It should be discussed in detail that on the promise of ensuring accuracy, how to select a proper order of Daubechies wavelet-based...
A coring rock sample test-bed is primarily used to drill the core with appropriate size for laboratory analysis. According to the design requirements, the structure of coring rock sample test-bed is designed. On the basis of the preliminary design, the test-bed model is created with the Solidworks. And then linear static analysis and model analysis are conducted with the finite element analysis software...
The structural morphology and spectra characteristic of ofloxacin (OFL) was strongly affected by the pH. In strong acidic solutions, OFL molecule exists as strong cation to achieve a weaker intensity. When the pH value increased to 3-4, OFL molecule exists as zwitterions, which is the strongest fluorescence form to have maximum intensity; the maximum exciting and emission wavelength of OFL were 298...
In this paper, taking the basic plane shape of the building as an example, we use the heating ventilating air-conditioner load calculation to analyze the relationship between the plane shape of building, the shape coefficient and the heating-and-cooling load. The calculation shows that, the shape coefficient, the height of the building, and the reasonable building shape have a great influence on building...
The actual bridge structures are not situated in the vacuum environment, so the dynamical behavior of the bridge structure will be affected with the geometrical deformations and the mass distributions due to the variation of the ambient medium, especially along the augment of bridge span. Taking into the effect of the static wind, temperature and deep water account synthetically, this paper analyzes...
