above equation the first order formula for the resonant frequency of elliptical microstrip antenna on ferrite sub-strate is found to be (7) The effective permeability of the substrate is expressed as9 = (+ J , where C and D are a function of b/h. Similarly the effective permittivity is expressed as +*(I + 12h/b)-'j2 e, + I &e// = 2 2 which is also a function of b/h. Since b is not uniform throu...

Smart home is composed of several controllers with different plants in control. If each controller works independently, without considering the mutual effect of the others in the control process, the whole system could definitely not converge to an optimum desired status and may not ever reach the demanded condition. The function of different controller system may has conflict In some condition...

This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...

This paper expands upon concepts introduced in the SUGI31 paper "Version Control on the Cheap. A UserFriendly, Cost-Effective Revision Control System for SAS." Several examples specific to the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) are presented. Those concepts can be applied to other systems. The benefits of version control can be attained by individuals or scaled up to global programming teams. The...
