Design Considerations on a Flexible Membrane Tsunami Flood Barrier

Design Considerations of a Flexible Data Stream Processing Middleware

Techniques for efficient and distributed processing of huge, unbound data streams have made some impact in the database community. Distributed data stream processing systems have emerged providing a distributed environment to process these potentially unbound streams of data by a set of processing nodes. A wide range of real-time applications process stream-based data. Sensors and data sources,...

Design considerations for an earth based flexible robotic system

Design and Microfabrication Considerations for Reliable Flexible Intracortical Implants

Current microelectrodes designed to record chronic neural activity suffer from recording instabilities due to the modulus mismatch between the electrode materials and the brain. We sought to address this by microfabricating a novel flexible neural probe. Our probe was fabricated from parylene-C with a tungsten–titanium alloy metal, using contact photolithography and reactive-ion etching, with t...

Sector Design and Boundary Change Considerations for Flexible Airspace Management

In Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) operations, we expect that the demand-capacity balance can be achieved by selectively managing the airspace capacity in conjunction with managing the traffic demand. In Flexible Airspace Management (FAM), the airspace complexity can be assessed a few hours ahead in order to identify sectors that could exceed their defined traffic threshold ...

Design Considerations for Selection of Flexible Riser Configuration

A brief review of recent literature on riser design is presented and a concise description of the design process is given. Effects of hydrodynamical design parameters on marine flexible riser design are then reviewed. Riser dynamic analyses are described which substantiate design criteria for the selection of riser configuration in deep and shallow water. The results of dynamic analyses using c...
