This paper investigates briefly the integrated portable reinforcement machine structure design and introduces its design and train of thought. The authors also discuss design methods in engineering applications, as well as how to achieve good heat dissipation effect and enhance the electromagnetic compatibility. The whole machine, with its small volume, good adaptability to environment, and ele...

We show an application of the method of extremum seeking to the problem of maximizing the pressure rise in an axial flow compressor. First we apply extremum seeking to the Moore–Greitzer model and design a feedback scheme actuated through a bleed valve which simultaneously stabilizes rotating stall and surge and steers the system towards the equilibrium with maximal pressure. Then we implement ...

Purpose The goal of this work is to develop different hardware and software elements pertinent to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided and robot-assisted intracardiac procedures, and integrate them into a modular platform suitable for further development and testing in the laboratory and at the MR suite. This prototype system, which has been partly inspired by our previous conceptual design ...

This is part one of the paper on conceptual design of an engine valve. This paper describes the background and the need of an engine valve for an internal combustion engine. The present state of the engine valve technology and the innovations incorporated in its design has been described. The paper presents the conceptualization of an innovative valve train aiming at lesser number of components...

The ever-changing nature of the power industry will require implementation hybrid energy systems. Integration tightly coupled components in hybrids often involves diversion exhaust gas flow. An innovative smart material actuation technology is proposed to replace traditional electro-mechanical actuated valve mechanisms with lighter and less expensive actuators. A shape memory alloy (SMA) spring...
