Most studies define a common duty cycle value throughout the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to achieve synchronization among the nodes. On the other hand, a few studies proposed adaptation of the duty cycle according to uniform traffic conditions to decrease the energy consumption and latency. In this paper, the lifetime of the nodes based on overall energy consumption are estimated and the ef...

A duty cycle control circuit for clock signals is presented. The proposed circuit uses a rising edge detector to generate one shot output signals which have the same frequency of the input clock signal. A pulse width controllable monostable multivibrator converts the one shot signals into rectangular pulses. By the feedback control voltage from an operational amplifier, the pulse width of gener...

Numerous methods are analysed in detail to improve task scheduling and data security performance the cloud environment. The involve according factors like makespan, waiting time, cost, deadline, popularity. However, inappropriate for achieving higher performance. Regarding security, existing use various encryption schemes but introduce significant service interruption. This article sketches a p...

We study fast data collection in linear duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We first present a benchmark algorithm that can achieve optimality in a general case (i.e., in non-duty-cycled case). Then, based on the insights obtained in the general case, we propose an optimal algorithm and a distributed algorithm for the case when each sensor only works at one slot in a cycle in duty-cycl...

A fast-locking pulsewidth-controlled clock generator (PWCCG) based on delay locked loop is proposed in this paper. The coarse and fine delay lines and a time-to-digital detector permits the pulsewidth-controlled clock generator (PWCCG) to operate over a wide frequency range. A new dutycycle setting circuit is also presented in this paper that decides the preferred output duty cycle. Result of t...

in this study the effect of input parameters of the edm process (pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity), on the material removal rate (mrr), tool wear ratio (twr) and maximum surface roughness (rmax) in the machining aisi h13 tool steel has been studied. this study shows that increasing the duty cycle in the two conditions of tool polarity, material removal rate and the maximum surface ro...

Broadcast is a fundamental operation in wireless networks. To this end, many past studies have studied the NP-hard, broadcast problem for always-on multi-hop networks. However, in wireless sensor networks, nodes are powered by batteries, meaning, they have finite energy. Consequently, nodes are required to have a low duty cycle, whereby they switch between active and sleep state periodically. T...

Ni-W coatings, compared to pure nanocrystalline Ni, exhibit higher hardness and wear resistance. In some cases, these coatings are considered as environmental friendly alternatives for hard chromium coating. Till now, most of Ni-W coatings have been produced by direct current electrodeposition from alkaline baths. In this study square pulse current was used for deposition of Ni-W precipitates f...
