This paper focuses on the vertical structure choice of multi-supply chains competition. By controlling the number of integrated and decentralized supply chains, we discuss the Nash equilibrium under hybrid scenario, and show that when the market share of each supply chain is less than the average, a appropriate competition is benefit to increase the supply chain profit, but with the strength of competition,...
For non-expert users, basic video players with simple controls are often the tools of choice when searching for specific scenes within videos. Basic actions like play, fast-forward, fast-reverse, positioning using the seeker-bar are familiar and are often preferred over advanced retrieval tools when it comes to interactive search and browsing. In order to get a deeper insight into how users approach...
In order to meet the requirements of unit equipment testing system applied to space vehicle control system, a universal testing system is designed. It consists of hardware architecture based on Compact PCI and software architecture based on VxWorks. It can meet the demand of the mission-critical applications totally. It has the advantages of well-run, high reliability, multipurpose testing, low-cost,...
The voting system is set of rules which define how the desire of people may be express and how results may be achieved from it. For this purpose an electronic voting machine EVM is introduced in this paper which replaced conventional methods of voting i-e manual voting. Proposed machine in this paper is faster, efficient, and reliable and error free as compared to manual voting system which is slower,...
Traffic management measures like one-way street results in the misalignment of upward and downward traveling routes of public transit, which was rarely taken into account by researches on transit shortest path. In this paper, the concept of Abnormal Station is proposed, after which an analysis of its characteristic is made in depth. Then, an algorithm that can effectively handle the matter of Abnormal...
Carbon Nanotube FETs (CNFETs) are excellent candidates for the next generation of high-performance and energy-efficient electronics, as CNFET-based digital circuits are projected to potentially achieve an order of magnitude improvement in energy-delay product at highly scaled technology nodes. This paper presents an overview of the first demonstration of a computer implemented entirely using CNFETs...
The paper presents an algorithm designed to make fusion of sensory data obtained by different equipment integrated in a mobile measurement platform. The measurement platform has been primarily designed to measure changes of road geometrical parameters and degradation of road surface over time. When measuring road surface degradation, data from the laser scanner, GPS receiver and INS are being fused...
The main purpose of this study is to determine the game principles that need to be adopted in order to create an enjoyable and engaging game experience for older adults, whilst ensuring that the purpose of the game, encouraging upper limb mobility, is respected. The study reported in this paper involved a group of older adults who played and gave feedback on an early game prototype which feed into...
Traditionally, the architecture of control system in large physics experiment is based on PLC and DCS like EPICS. For the control information in controls system, its timestamp is marked in control computer after transferred from PLC to computer. This mode will introduce more time deviation in time stamp. In CSNS, we will use a new PLC from BECKHOFF which can provide real-time timestamp, and we can...
The coexistence of cognitive radio (CR) networks in the same swath of spectrum has become an increasingly important problem, which is especially challenging when coexisting networks are heterogeneous (i.e., use different air interface standards), such as the case in TV white spaces. In this paper, we propose a credit-token-based spectrum etiquette framework that enables spectrum sharing among distributed...
Optimizing the three most important network performance parameters i.e. Delivery probability, Overhead ratio, and Delay is challenging in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) due to high occurrences of network partitioning in these networks. Owing to the partitioning nature efficient routing or dissemination of messages is important in DTN. In this paper, we focused to improve the spray phase of Binary Spray...
A method of test pattern generation for multiple stuck-at faults in VLSI circuits, using genetic algorithm is proposed. The test patterns were earlier generated for single stuck at faults only but in the proposed work, multiple faults are considered and fault masking is also taken into account when faults are injected. The test patterns to detect the faults are the binary values given as inputs to...
Having opportunities to practice basic computer systems and computer networking tasks are important for students to understand underlying concept and to develop the necessary skills. Remote Access Laboratories are a way to allow students off-site hardware access to systems and hardware. This paper introduces a basic networking remote laboratory experiment and related learning activities. It addresses...
The mode of action of psychopharmacons have been studied thoroughly by the analysis of firing patterns led from the living nervous system. Examining even a very small region of the brain requires enormous calculational capacity. This is most effective with the help of an artificial multiprocessing neural network, similar to the living nervous sytem. In the course of our work we use a self-developed...
Content Addressable mode (CAM) is a Solid State recollection in which facts and data's are accessed but their content rather than physical position. It obtains input seek facts and data's (i.e.), a seek word and comes back the address of a similar phrase that is retained in CAM. In power utilization issue of view, CAM is an inefficient recollection apparatus because of aligned evaluation. Thus, robust,...
A solid-state transformer (SST) would be at least as efficient as a conventional version but would provide other benefits as well, particularly as renewable power sources become more widely used. Among its more notable strong points are on-demand reactive power support for the grid, better power quality, current limiting, management of distributed storage devices and a dc bus. Most of the nation's...
• Conversion Ratios, Efficiency, Driving Capability, Cross-Regulation and Transient Response of SIMO converter has been discussed • Cross-Regulation is a unique problem in SIMO converter • Time-Multiplexing (TM) Control and Ordered Power Distributive Control (OPDC) are commonly used control method. • TM control has limited driving capability while OPDC control has large cross-regulation. • Several...
In this paper, we report on an empirical study exploring the nature of mental models of spreadsheet authors when they are explaining and debugging their own spreadsheets. Study participants were first asked to explain one of their own spreadsheets, and then to find and fix seeded errors in the same spreadsheets. Talk-aloud protocols were collected and analyzed to reveal the nature of participants'...
Keeping Automatic Test Equipments (ATE) current with technology is one of the major challenges in automatic testing world. Needs and priorities can quickly evolve throughout the life cycle of ATEs and handling obsolescence via performing upgrades on hardware and software can be impossible after several years. While developing Test Program Sets (TPS), if existing ATE systems cannot meet the necessary...
We explain the details and implications of a new chess variant that is more challenging for humans than the standard version of the game. A new rule states that either player has the right to switch sides if a ‘chain’ or link of pieces is created on the board. This appears to increase significantly the complexity of chess, as perceived by the players, but not the actual size of its game tree. ‘Search’...
