This paper describes the control architecture, the main issues, and the features of the Teleoperationsystem TELOS, as well as the main future research areas. The TELOS Teleoperationsystem allows human supervisory of remote teleoperators even in a time delayed environment. The operation concept defines two main phases. The first phase is either an automatic or operator driven "preparation" phase...

In automotive industry fixtures have a direct effect on product manufacturing quality, productivity and cost, as a result fixtures, particularly welding fixture, play a crucial role in the auto industry. The fixture is a special tool for holding a work piece in proper position during manufacturing operation, so in the phase of the fixture design process positioning pins and surfaces are used to...

the decisions made in the planning phase of a building project greatly affect its future operation and maintenance (o&m;) cost. recognizing the o&m; cost of condominiums’ common facilities as a critical issue for home owners, this research aims to develop an artificial neural network (ann) o&m; cost prediction model to assist developers and architects in effectively assessing the impacts of the...

This paper presents Locality-Aware Two-Phase (LATP) I/O, an optimization of the Two-Phase collective I/O technique from ROMIO, the most popular MPI-IO implementation. In order to increase the locality of the file accesses, LATP employs the Linear Assignment Problem (LAP) for finding an optimal distribution of data to processes, an aspect that is not considered in the original technique. This as...

in the response phase the most important step is to assess disaster after occurrence. by disaster assessment, we can obtain all the needed information for controlling, decision-making and also disaster planning. lack of disaster assessment causes you to make unsuitable decisions ba sed on limited or inadequate data which leads to imperfect disaster response. according to ifrc, disaster response...

in this paper, the effect of autofrettage process parameters on the ultimate pressure that functionally graded spherical vessel can tolerate are investigated. fgm properties and autofrettage pressure are considered as important parameters. assumptions are variation of properties of fgm in radial direction, the residual stress in the absence of bauschinger effect with the operation of variable m...

A generic M-ary continuous phase modulation (CPM) scheme, with a modulation index of h = 1/M, can be modeled by a continuous-phase encoder (CPE) followed by a memoryless modulator (MM), where the CPE is linear over the ring of integers modulo M. By designing a channel encoder (CE), which is a convolutional encoder, to operate over the same ring of integers modulo M, the CE and the CPE can be co...

A generic M-ary continuous phase modulation (CPM) scheme, with a modulation index of h = 1/M, can be decomposed into a continuous-phase encoder (CPE) followed by a memoryless modulator (MM), where the CPE is linear over the ring of integers modulo M. By using a channel encoder (CE), which is a convolutional encoder, to operate over the same ring of integers modulo M, the CE and the CPE can be c...

The main objective of this concept is to examine the operation of fundamental buck-based three-phase singlestage ac–dc full-bridge converters. In this concept, the operation of this fundamental converter is explained and analyzed, and a procedure for the design of its key components is derived and demonstrated with an example and general concluding remarks comparing Buck-Based and Boost Based t...

The use of thin magnetic film memories for high speed computers has been well established. More recently, efforts have been made to adapt thin-film memory elements for operation in a phase script mode by using drive fields at two different frequencies to switch and read the state of the memory element. The resulting memory system is uniquely suited for operation in a parametron computer where i...
