18 ANSYS ADVANTAGE ISSUE 2 | 2017 Leading the Electric Vehicle Charge The battery management system plays a critical role in today’s electric vehicles: It monitors the state of the battery, manages its operation to optimize vehicle performance and battery life, and ensures the safety of occupants. Researchers at National Electric Vehicles Sweden (NEVS) who are developing the BMS for their next-...

Dionne and Vanasse (1989, 1992) have presented a bonus-malus systems (BMS) that integrates risk classification and experience rating based on the number of claims of each policyholder. This BMS is derived as a function of the years that the policyholder is in the portfolio, of the number of accidents and of the significant – for the number of accidents – individual characteristics. Frangos and ...

We present the results of a quenched lattice calculation of the operator matrix elements relevant for predicting the Bs width difference. Our main result is (∆ΓBs/ΓBs) = (4.7 ± 1.5 ± 1.6) × 10−2, obtained from the ratio of matrix elements R(mb) = 〈B̄0 s |QS |B0 s 〉/〈B̄0 s |QL|B s 〉 = −0.93(3)+0.00 −0.01. R(mb) was evaluated from the two relevant B-parameters BMS S (mb) = 0.86(2) +0.02 −0.03 and B...

A canonical realization of the BMS (Bondi-Metzner-Sachs) algebra is given on the phase space of the classical real Klein-Gordon field. By assuming the finiteness of the generators of the Poincaré group, it is shown that a countable set of conserved quantities exists (supertransla-tions); this set transforms under a particular Lorentz representation, which is uniquely determined by the requireme...

The proposed paper presents the DC/AC microgrid modeling using the Energy storage units and photovoltaic (PV) panels. The modal consists of a two stage power conversion. The power is supplied to the both DC and AC loads by this PV solar panels. The suitable way to explore the PV generation model is by using manufacturer datasheet. A bidirectional converter is connected to the battery storage sy...

The Social Book Search (SBS) lab at CLEF 2016 provides a complex test collection that gives the opportunity to experiment with retrieval methods that combine various modalities in order to achieve the best possible ranked list. We show how the idea of being ”characteristic”, which is used as the core concept in most of the weighting schemes used for textual modalities, can be applied to non-tex...

The complexities and costs associated with preserving the nation’s bridge infrastructure demand innovative approaches to analysis of data and prediction of future bridge conditions. Several Bridge Management systems (BMS) have come into existence following the ISTEA act of 1991. The policy analysis module of BMS systems developed is restricted to analytical methods. With the availability of mod...

This paper describes the work of the LaHC lab of SaintÉtienne for the Social Book Search lab at CLEF 2015. Our goals were i) to study a field-based retrieval model (BM25F), exploiting various topics and documents fields, in order to build a strong baseline for further experiments, ii) to compare it with a Log logistic (LGD) retrieval model, and iii) to exploit some documents related to each top...

This paper introduces the concept of Biological Manufacturing Systems (BMS), and then provides details of emergent synthesis. Next, it describes emergent synthesis based case studies of BMS: 1) Self-Organisation of Manufacturing Systems, 2) Emergence of Supply Chain Networks, and 3) BMS Introducing Bounded Rationality.
