in this paper, front engine accessory drive (fead) system of automotive engine is modeled with adams software. the model is validated using engine test data. it is then used to investigate the effect of design parameters on the system performance such as belt vibration and loads on the idlers. three alternative layouts were developed in order to improve the performance of original eead system. ...

Using data from WIND, SAMPEX (Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer), and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) sensors onboard geostationary satellites, we investigate the correlation of energetic electrons in the 20-200 keV range in the solar wind and of high speed solar wind streams with relativistic electrons in the magnetosphere to determine whether energetic electrons...

OBJECTIVE To assess plantarflexion moment and hip joint moment after-effects following walking on a split-belt treadmill in healthy individuals and individuals post-stroke. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Ten healthy individuals (mean age 57.6 years (standard deviation; SD 17.2)) and twenty individuals post-stroke (mean age 49.3 years (SD 13.2)). METHODS Participants walked on an i...

The purpose of this paper is to present the crash exposure patterns of pregnant occupants and to evaluate the effectiveness of restraint systems, including four-point seatbelts, in far side crashes. The NASS CDS database revealed that 53.0 % of pregnant occupants are exposed to frontal crashes while 13.5 % are exposed to far side impacts. Given that far side crashes were the second leading cras...

This paper presents the use of intelligent system with Supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) Software and hardware components platform like PLC considered as the main contents of this project. SCADA software enables us to monitor, record data whenever required from the hardware installed and gives the status of the main power system components like motors, relays, panels, feed...

Abstract. The paper presents new method for sequential classification of the time series observations. Methods and algorithms of sequential recognition are obtained on the basis of the recursive equations for sufficient statistics. These recursive equations allow to construct algorithms of current classification of observable sequences in the rate of entering its values into the on-line operati...

Throughput of inventoried tags is one the most important performance parameters for RFID systems. This paper presents an enhancement for the anti collision protocol for frame slotted ALOHA in RFID systems. It is especially designed for application with known size of the tag population such as in assembly lines or conveyer belts. It exploits the fact of low probability regions of the event space...

Seat belt legislation appears to have reduced mortality from, and the incidence of, serious head and facial injuries due to motor vehicle accidents. The use of seat belts has, however, also modified injury patterns in car occupants involved in accidents. This review traces the introduction of seat belt legislation and delineates the types of injury which have been attributed to seat belt wearing.
