This paper describes a design and implementation of the HNCP-UPnP bridge using a virtual device. HNCP networked devices targeted to white goods are allowed to be controlled and monitored by UPnP Control Point. The bridge provides automated creation of a UPnP virtual device and message conversion. The developed system enables integration of a heterogeneous home network.

The design of an ultrathin, conformal electronic device that integrates electrotactile stimulation with electromyography, temperature, and strain sensing in a single, simple platform is reported. Experiments demonstrate simultaneous use of multiple modes of operation of this type of device in the sensorimotor control of robotic systems, in the monitoring of lower back exertion and in muscle sti...

We developed a microfluidic analogue of the classic Wheatstone bridge circuit for automated, real-time sampling of solutions in a flow-through device format. We demonstrate precise control of flow rate and flow direction in the "bridge" microchannel using an on-chip membrane valve, which functions as an integrated "variable resistor". We implement an automated feedback control mechanism in orde...

One of the most discussed topics in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the routing protocol used in the networks. These protocols largely affect the performance and the lifetime of the network as transmission of data uses a significant proportion of the total energy in WSNs. The sensors in WSNs run using batteries thereby making energy consumption an important design constraint for them. Over the...

This Study describes a six degree -of-freedom hybrid simulation for the optimum design of a space vehicle re entry flight control system, utilizing the E A I HYDAC ® 2400 Combined Hybrid Computing System. The specific purpose of the simulation is the evaluation of a temperature-rate flight control system (TRFCS) which utilizes temperature sensors to provide shortperiod stabilization and long te...

In order to improve the precision and surface quality of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), the paper studies the application of complex programmable logic device (CPLD) used in pulse power for EDM, according to the characteristics of the device, using VHDL language input and schematic input method to design control circuit for EDM pulse power. Keyword: EDM; CPLD; VHDL language; pulse power

This paper describes the design of the overall structure about evaluation system of the development process of complex electromechanical device, and analyzes quality evaluation of the stage of scheme design in detail. An evaluation index system of quality of development process is proposed based on resources and conditions, technical status control, management control. Take the evaluation of sc...

Dilip Bethanabhotla [email protected] We consider the jointly optimal design of a transmission scheduling and admission control policy for adaptive streaming over wireless device-to-device networks. We formulate the problem as a dynamic network utility maximization and observe that it naturally decomposes into two subproblems: admission control and transmission scheduling. The resulting algorith...

This paper describes the research improvements in the mechanical, electrical and software design of the robots of team Tech United Eindhoven. The main improvements are the improved Turtle Remote Control, a new simulator, a global worldmodel, which gathers information from all peers, the incorporation of passing in the game roles, a new pathplanner and minor hardware adjustments. Furthermore the...

On grammatical accounts, this indicates a relation between two arguments that ensures their coreference, for any assignment of values to variables. PRO in (1c), for example, would be related in this way to an argument that is linked to the role of trader in either (1a) or (1b). Such accounts have good motives, sketched in §3. But in this paper we make two objections, one syntactic and one seman...
