A smart distributor system for controlling a micro grid has been developed in this work. The switches ON different generators one after the other as consumer load demand increases or them OFF decreases. This was achieved using microcontroller, current and voltage transformer. microcontroller programmed embedded C-language to communicate with transformers give necessary output signals activate d...

Experiments have been carried out in a 0.1 m internal diameter, 1.88 m height vertical Plexiglas column with an antenna type modified air sparger in the gas-liquid distributor section. This arrangement provides uniform mixing of the fluids, ensures the gas entering the fluidizing section as fine bubbles and reduces the pressure drop encountered through a conventional distributor used for the pu...

Diverting large quantities of goods from authorized distribution channels to unauthorized or “gray market” channels, albeit legal, significantly affects both firms and consumers due to effects on price, revenue, service and warranty availability, and product availability. In this paper we consider mechanisms by which the uncertainty surrounding inventory ordering decisions drives gray markets. ...

Claims for the advantages of applying multihop relay in CDMA cellular networks have been widely accepted in the literature. However, such claims have yet to be closely examined. In this paper, capacity increase in CDMA cellular networks through multihop relay is quantified. As CDMA networks are interference-limited, interference has to be analyzed to estimate the system capacity. Toward this en...

Deploying IP telephony or voice over IP (VoIP) is a major and challenging task for data network researchers and designers. This paper outlines guidelines and a step-by-step methodology on how VoIP can be deployed successfully. The methodology can be used to assess the support and readiness of an existing network. Prior to the purchase and deployment of VoIP equipment, the methodology predicts t...

In the past the evaluation of machine translation systems has focused on single system evaluations because there were only few systems available. But now there are several commercial systems for the same language pair. This requires new methods of comparative evaluation. In the paper we propose a black-box method for comparing the lexical coverage of MT systems. The method is based on lists of ...

Theoretical research was conducted using basic principles higher mathematics theoretical mechanics. Numerical calculations graphical dependencies are obtained a PC based on developed standard programs. Results. T...

Multimedia conferencing systems are usually large, complex software systems. We describe a local control architecture and communication protocols called pattern-matching multicast (PMM) that allow media agents, controllers and auxiliary applications such as media recorders and management proxies to be tied together into a single conference application. Unlike other systems, control of a single ...

Hollywood blockbusters are usually released in the U.S. before other foreign markets. The release gaps have declined significantly over time and varied greatly across countries. While movie piracy has been suggested as an important determinant for the release gap decision of distributors, theory and evidence suggest there are other important determinants. In this paper, we use a discrete choice...

A distributor of digital contents desires to collect users’ attributes. This is because the distributor can grasp the image of users, and work out the marketing strategy. On the other hand, the users do not desire to offer the attributes owing to the privacy protection. For anonymous surveys, a protocol to generate statistical results of the attributes is previously proposed, where the extra in...
