This article presents a review of the fuse effect in polymer optical fibers (POFs) and its sensing applications. First, propagation mechanisms characteristics POF are discussed, showing that threshold power velocity much lower than those silica fiber fuse. In addition, it is shown main unique advantages capability transmitting signal as well electrical conductivity carbonized oscillatory path c...

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

Traditionally, file systems were implemented as part of OS kernels. However, as complexity of file systems grew, many new file systems began being developed in user space. Nowadays, user-space file systems are often used to prototype and evaluate new approaches to file system design. Low performance is considered the main disadvantage of user-space file systems but the extent of this problem ha...

Miniature fuses as an anti-damage subsystem perform the important function of protecting electronic devices and systems against permanent damage that may result in electric shocks, fire risks, etc. Their role becomes particularly when they are installed such special security (ESS). For this reason, there is a need for practical verification their protective properties. The article presents resu...

These are the working proceedings of the FUSE workshop (http://joint.org/use/) at ETAPS 2004. The papers contained herein have been accepted by the FUSE program committee and improved according to the suggestions of the reviewers. After the workshop, updated versions based on feedback from workshop participants will be published in ENTCS. This preface gives a short overview of the workshop topi...

A broad overview of approaches to data fusion is provided in [1]. The most powerful current approach to real-time, scan-based data fusion is multi-hypothesis tracking (MHT), which was first introduced in the late 1970s [11] and made feasible in the mid-1980s with the track-oriented approach [9]. A number of enhancements to the basic approach have appeared over the years [1]. If contact measurem...

We have previously reported on the development of explosively formed fuse (EFF) opening switches for use in applications where very long conduction times (lO's or lOG's p.s) are required and where opening times of 1-10 p.s are adequate. In this paper we report on the development of an EFF that allows magnetic flux in the switch to be delivered to the load rather than lost from the circuit. The ...

The advent of agile methodologies, though contributing much to software development processes, had a more profound impact on project management processes. Through supporting adaptability in their process frameworks, agile methodologies deviated from conventional project management approaches. This novel attitude has resulted in the emergence of an agile framework for project management. The Agi...

Abstract Smart electricity meter is the key instrument to realize accurate measurement of consumption. However, with increase service life meter, its accuracy will deteriorate. Aiming at problems that a single parameter cannot accurately characterize performance degradation process electric and traditional intelligent learning model difficult fit smart new method proposed fuse data construct he...
