During the last decades, an increasing use of innovative technologies in manufacturing areas was monitored. A huge amount of physical workload was replaced by the change from conventional machine tools to computer-controlled units. CNC systems spread in current production processes. Because of this, machine operators today mostly have an observational function. This caused increasing of static ...

State Machines Proposed by Gurevich [58], abstract state machines (ASM), also called evolving algebras, form a specification language in which the notions of state and state transformation are central. A system is described in this formalism by the definition of states and by a finite set of (possibly non-deterministic) state transition rules, which describe the conditions (also called guards) ...

Accurate performance prediction is key to the design of high performance machines. It is shown here that connection clearance and component flexibility can result in machine dynamic behaviors that are hypersensitive to small variations of system design parameters and operating conditions. These hypersensitivities, which can limit the usefulness of computer dynamic simulations for design, are as...

when power systems are expanded and connected together with weak tie lines, the low-frequency oscillations are increased and the stability margin of the power system decreases. therefore, when designing the transmission system to be used, it is necessary to maintain the dynamic stability of the power system, and to make sure to have the most possible stability margin. sssc is a facts device con...

Induction and synchronous machines have traditionally been the first choice of automotive manufacturers for electric/hybrid vehicles. However, these conventional machines are not able anymore to meet the increasing demands for a higher energy density due to space limitation in cars. Fluxswitching PM (FSPM) machines with their high energy density are very suitable to answer this demand. In this ...

The design and implementation of Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in a multimachine power system based on innovative evolutionary algorithm plainly as Breeder Genetic Algorithm (BGA) with Adaptive Mutation is described in this paper. For the analysis purpose a Conventional Power System Stabilizer and a Conventional Genetic Algorithm based Power System Stabilizer are designed and implemented in the...

Long term video electro-encephalographic (EEG) monitoring (LTM) is defined as the continuous and synchronized recording of EEG and multimedia to analyze brain abnormalities. A conventional LTM system continuously records EEG in the frequency range of 0.5-70Hz. The data synchronization, the high-volume data management, the system reliability as well as noise reduction remain significant challeng...

A flow line is a conventional manufacturing system where all jobs must be processed on all machines with the same operation sequence. Line buffers allow non-permutation flowshop scheduling (NPFS) and job sequences to be changed on different machines. A mixed-integer linear programming model for non-permutation flowshop scheduling and the buffer requirement along with manufacturing implication i...

Selecting an appropriate manufacturing machine is a very important and complex problem for firms, which usually have to deal with both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Taking into account the differences among machines in terms of cost, speed, quality and after sale services, type and number of machines are important parameters to consider. Therefore, the goal of thi...
