The industrial processes continuously require of better technologies which let to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of their actions. One method to achieve this is based on the monitoring of the obtained sample or the industrial process itself. In this article is addressed the monitoring and the inspection of industrial products and processes through ultrasonic systems which analyze...
This paper demonstrates the key functionality provided by each process module of the End-to-End-Process (EtE) Order-to-Cash (OtC) and the technology being used. In addition the cloudification of this process will be analyzed. This paper thereby delivers a practical example of prior publications which serves as a base to evaluate the model suggested. The model to be evaluated shall address the rising...
6.002x is the first electronic circuits course to be taught online to tens of thousands of students. The goal of the 6.002x experiment was to explore ways to use computerassisted instruction to surpass the quality of traditional residential teaching. By providing superior on-line content delivery and assessment, we hope to both be able to educate people without access to education, and to improve...
We offer to use slow-wave structures (SWSs) for monitoring parameters of absorbing coatings, which are widely used for stealth technology. It is shown that resonant frequencies and Q-factor of a SWS section placed in parallel to a monitored coating strongly depend on the electric and magnetic properties of the coating, that dependence can be converted in the coating's parameters reading.
Connections are present in all electrical circuits, they come in many shapes and materials, but all share one common trait: they are involved directly or indirectly in many grid faults. The integrity of power system grids plays a fundamental role in the smart grid context. The monitoring of equipment and assets contributes significantly to the reliability of electric power systems. This article aims...
The fracture behavior of Kevlar/Glass- Epoxy Hybrid Composite was investigated based on experimental and finite element analysis method. The tension test was employed with fixtures as per ASTM standards. Fracture Toughness was determined experimentally for along the fiber direction and across the fiber direction of the specimen. Results indicated that cracked specimen is tougher along the fiber direction...
Substantiated by scientific studies, it appears that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have allowed the construction of a set of support tools that complement classroom teaching and enable its users greater interaction and ease in communication. This paper contains a reflection on the behavior of students in undergraduate Computer Engineering who attended Differential and Integral Calculus,...
Acoustic Emission monitoring can be used to extract the features of material removal mechanism in grinding. It could also be used to predict the process performance which might be helpful to improve the process efficiency and surface quality. This research aims to distinguish the material removal characteristics of the grinding process at micro scale by using Acoustic Emission (AE) energy released...
A wearable electronic nose (e-nose) has been developed by integrating a low cost chemical sensor array with a wireless communication for applications in healthcare. Its sensing unit was fabricated by a fully inkjet-printing technique, comprising eight different sensor elements manufactured by varying printing patterns and sensing materials. These sensors have shown response to a wide variety of complex...
On-demand digital print service is a form of personalized manufacturing service. Key to the commercial print value-creation chain is the responsive and accurate knowledge discovery and decision making throughout the service engagement and fulfillment between the content suppliers and the print service providers (PSP). The business model of on-demand print imposes a great challenge to the PSP factory...
An emergency plan contains the constraints of resource and time. However, complexity and changeability of emergency environment could influence these constrains, leading to both time and resource lose. Aimed to meet the needs of executive time constraint, a model of plan adjustment for executive exception in emergency logistics distribution is proposed in this paper. Firstly, executive exceptions...
We achieve in situ, micron-scale tracking of laser machining through a galvo-telecentric beam delivery system using coherent imaging. We collect both high speed intrapulse and interpulse morphology changes as well as overall sweep-to-sweep depth penetration.
A plastic optical fibre (POF) dosimeter for measuring ionising radiation during radiotherapy applications is presented. Previous initial results involving this type of sensor using an x-ray scintillating material have been reported by McCarthy et al[1]. This paper details results, using a different type of scintillating material (UKL65/L-R1-sourced from Phosphor Technologies in the UK)[2] which is...
The excessive growth of algae is the main reason for water blooms, how to detect the algae concentration is an important task right now. Based on the characteristics of algae chlorophyll-a fluorescence spectra, it designs a detection device of algae concentration, analyzes the basic theory of detection method, explains the structure of this detection and test process. by the experiments and data analysis,...
Technology is a dynamic phenomenon which could experience rapid changes that may gradually lead to advancement in the humanitarian activities. It may become weak or lose its validity as a result of improper changes or attention and the way of thinking which could be due to overshadowing influences. The effect of such changes and influence has continued to cause problems in the key aspect of global...
The use collaborative of pedagogies in undergraduate engineering courses are usually implemented by academics who place value on the student experience and their students achieving deep as opposed to surface learning. The professional development and understanding of appropriate theories needed to prepare materials and support student learning in these different teaching environments is often left...
The current study was part of activities in a Work in Progress paper presented at the 41st Frontiers in Education Conference that focused on activity Phase 2. This study evaluated students' metacognition using the Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) framework while learning electric circuit concepts. Two research questions guided this study: (1) Was there any improvement in metacognitive self-regulation...
Projections indicate that video will be responsible for 90% of network traffic until the end of the decade. Considering the high cost of media production and, mainly, the high consumption of network resources for applications that explore it, it will be extremely important to monitor such use, preventing against wrong or distorted views of this consumption. Within this scenario, it is necessary to...
Power plant operators have to increase the operating temperature to meet the CO2 reduction demands. The safety risk of such piping systems is of overriding importance. Material or structural failure leads to considerable property damage and possibly even personal injury must be expected. Moreover, there is a considerable economic risk in case of structural failure regarding the availability of the...
In our study we apply the principal-agent model to study credit contract proposed by banks to motivate third-party logistics firms (TPL) and consider supervision as an important variable. Our results indicate that when supervision is introduced into contract, TPL can be motivated to work more efficiently. In particular, we give bank' efficient supervision set and bank can be better off by keeping...
