In container terminal operations, the delay of containers delivery is a common problem that confronts both the terminal operator and the customers represented by the trucking companies. One source of this delay is due to the long waiting time of the transporting trucks at container terminals (CTs). In this paper, the problem of long turn time for external trucks is studied. An extensive review ...

The main theme in this paper is an initial value problem containing a dynamic version of the transport equation. Via this problem, the delay (or shift) of a function defined on a time scale is introduced, and the delay in turn is used to introduce the convolution of two functions defined on the time scale. In this paper, we give some elementary properties of the delay and of the convolution and...

This paper considers the turn-off robustness (the maximal current being able to be turned off) of high power IGBTs under over current condition. The analysis of turn-off curves shows that the turn-off robustness of the investigated devices is not really limited by the rate of voltage rise on collector-emitter (dVCE / dt ). The main reason of the robustness limitation is found out to be the rate...

In this paper, a novel design of CPW-Fed defected substrate microstrip antenna is presented. The proposed antenna shows wideband applications by choosing suitable defected crown shape substrate. Defected shape substrate also reduces the size of the antenna. The radiating patch of proposed antenna is taken in the form of extended U-shape. The space around the radiator is utilized by extending th...

A novel dynamical slow light cell with a tunable group delay, fabricated in silicon-on-insulator, is demonstrated. It provides a tuning range of more than 1 ns, with a usable group delay of about 0-24 ps. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (200.4490) Optical buffers; (230.5750) Resonators.
