Techniques of aligning linear accelerators are discussed with specific reference to the alignment system of the two-mile accelerator. This system uses a "three-point" method by which a point which is to be aligned is brought into coincidence with the line as defined by its end points. The end _ points;ye a laser and a photo-el-ctril debecior. A rectangular Fresnel lens is 1oc;ted at each pc'nt ...

This paper presents fuzzy and conventional performance of model reference adaptive control(MRAC) to control a DC drive. The aims of this work are achieving better match of motor speed with reference speed, decrease of noises under load changes and disturbances, and increase of system stability. The operation of nonadaptive control and the model reference of fuzzy and conventional adaptive contr...

a method for deformation computation based on strain tensor elements, as an alternative to the usual way of application of gradient of displacement vector, is proposed. the method computes directly the strain tensor elements from the computed/observed changes in distances and angles between the stations of a geodetic network in two epochs of observations. displacement vector which is determined...

This paper presents a practical implementation for a new formula of nonlinear PID (NPID) control. The purpose of the controller is to accurately trace a preselected position reference of one stage servomechanism system. The possibility of developing a transfer function model for experimental setup is elusive because of the lack of system data. So, the identified model has been developed via gat...

PURPOSE The accuracy of a gypsum model (GM), which was taken using a conventional silicone impression technique, was compared with that of a polyurethane model (PM), which was taken using an iTero™ digital impression system. MATERIALS AND METHODS The maxillary first molar artificial tooth was selected as the reference tooth. The GMs were fabricated through a silicone impression of a reference...

employing a three critical points theorem, we prove the existence ofmultiple solutions for a class of neumann two-point boundary valuesturm-liouville type equations. using a local minimum theorem fordifferentiable functionals the existence of at least one non-trivialsolution is also ensured.

The main problem of vehicle vibration comes from road roughness. An active suspension systempossesses the ability to reduce acceleration of sprung mass continuously as well as to minimizesuspension deflection, which results in improvement of tire grip with the road surface. Thus, braketraction control and vehicle maneuverability can be improved consider ably .This study developeda new active su...

geospatial information system (gis) has emerged as a very powerful tool for capturing, storing, analyzing, managing, and presenting data that is linked to location. the location information, which is usually obtained from existing maps or the global positioning systems (gps), refers to different coordinate and map projection systems. therefore, unification of the coordinate and mapping systems ...
