Finite state control Semi-infinite tape which contains, at the beginning of the computation: the input string, on its part of the tape the blank symbol, in the remaining squares According to the transition function at each step the machine: changes its internal state writes a nonblank symbol on the scanned tape square moves the head either to the left, or to the right, or keeps it on the same s...

A Turing machine with faults, failures and recovery (TMF) is described. TMF is (weakly) non-deterministic Turing machine consisting of five semi-infinite tapes (Master Tape, Synchro Tape, Backup Tape, Backup Synchro Tape, User Tape) and four controlling components (Program, Daemon, Apparatus, User). Computational process consists of three phases (Program Phase, Failure Phase, Repair Phase). C++...

AIMS Intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) is a known risk factor for therapy failure after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) insertion. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the severity of ISD alone or other factors such as urethral mobility and tape localization influence outcomes. METHODS One hundred and nine women with urodynamically determined ISD, a TVT insertion, and a 6-month ...

in the present work an attempt has been made to study the effect of the twisted tapes as bed internals, on the performance of the gas-solid fluidized beds. experimental investigation has been carried out in cylindrical column with and without twisted tapes. twelve numbers of twisted tapes of three different widths with four values of the twist ratios for each width were studied at different sta...

Abstract: Lateral tape motion (LTM) in tape drives hinders accurate servo head positioning and can cause damage to the tape. It is one of the major obstacles to developing high density, high performance tape drives. This paper presents the development an active tape steering system to reduce LTM. A robust controller is designed using the Robust Bode (RBode) Plot, which translates an robust perf...
