AN ENVIRONMENT-ORIENTED HOUSE TO COMBINE PASSIVE DESIGN METHODS BY DWELLER’S ACTIVITY AS MODE-CHANGE, PART1: AN EVALUATION OF ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS FOR OPTIMIZING PASSIVE DESIGN TECHNIQUES

Design and fabrication of an effective micromixer through passive method

Micromixer is a significant component of microfluidics particularly in lab-on-chip applications so that there has been a growing need for design and fabrication of micromixers with a shorter length and higher efficiency. Despite most of the passive micromixers that suffer from long mixing path and complicated geometry to increase the efficiency, our novel design suggests a highly efficient micr...

design of an analog fuzzy logic controller chip

fuzzy logic has been developed over the past three decades into a widely applied techinque in classification and control engineering. today fuzzy logic control is one of the most important applications of fuzzy set theory and specially fuzzy logic. there are two general approachs for using of fuzzy control, software and hardware. integrated circuits as a solution for hardware realization are us...

drawing diagrams as an aid to architectural design process

designers draw diagrams to think about architectural concepts and design concerns. scientists are interested in programming computers to recognize and interpret design diagrams to deliver appropriate tools for the design task at hand. researchers conducted empirical studies to find out if designers share drawing conventions when designing. the experiment results show that designers use differen...

Genetic Algorithm Based Design Of Passive Elements For Vibration Control

An Application of Optimisation for Passive RF Component Design

The solution of computational electromagnetic simulations is integral to the design process. As higher performance computers become more available, the application of optimisation techniques to reduce design times becomes more feasible. This paper presents the application of Parallel BFGS and Adaptive Simulated Annealing in minimising the transmission through a ceramic bead suppressor on a stra...
