Optical data self-routing using address decoding

We present an optoelectronic self-routing packet switch for digital data commutation applications. The routing of the input data is determined by the optical decoding of the destination address coded in the packet header preceding the data bits. As proof of the operating principle, a one input 64 output demonstration system was built. The experiment is based on the association of

A fuzzy approach to the evaluation of human factors in ultrasonic nondestructive examinations

Human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (NDE). In a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. This paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...

Three-Dimensional Boundary Layer Flow and Heat Transfer of a Dusty Fluid Towards a Stretching Sheet with Convective Boundary Conditions

The steady three-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid towards a stretching sheet with convective boundary conditions is investigated by using similarity solution approach. The free stream along z-direction impinges on the stretching sheet to produce a flow with different velocity components. The governing equations are reduced into ordinary differential equations b...

Hamilton decompositions of graphs with primitive complements

A k-factor of a graph is a k-regular spanning subgraph. A Hamilton cycle is a connected 2-factor. A graph G is said to be primitive if it contains no k-factor with 1 ≤ k < ∆(G). A Hamilton decomposition of a graph G is a partition of the edges of G into sets, each of which induces a Hamilton cycle. In this paper, by using the amalgamation technique, we find necessary and sufficient conditions f...
