A dual structural fused system consists of replaceable ductile elements (fuses) that sustain major seismic damage and leave the primary structure (PS) virtually undamaged. The seismic performance of a fused structural system is determined by the combined behavior of the individual PS and fuse components. In order to design a feasible and economic structural fuse concept, we need a procedure to ...

Mobile apps are increasingly realized by using a crossplatform development framework. Using such frameworks, code is written once but the app can be deployed to multiple platforms. Despite progress in research on cross-platform techniques, results (i.e. apps) are not always satisfactory. They are subject to tedious tailoring and the development effort tends to be notable. In these cases, either...

Since the invention of NAND Flash memory in the 1980’s, non-volatile memory (NVM) has touched all aspects of our daily life. Applications for NVM is growing everyday from handy data storage devices like a USB Flash Drive to High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and its high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) encryption algorithms to firmware storage in a variety of digital device...

Since the insulation performance of air is not as good that SF6 and other gases, it necessary to conduct an in-depth study on characteristics fuse tube in order meet requirements normal breaking design a structural improvement scheme for 12 kV environmental protection cabinet suitable using insulating medium. In this study, before was studied, electric-field distribution placed air-insulated sw...

What is a landmine? The purpose of a landmine is to disable, immobilize or kill. It is an explosive device activated either by a person or vehicle, or command detonated by electric wire or radio signal. Most landmines are laid on or just below the surface of the ground and are activated by pressure or trip-wire. Normally manufactured from very durable materials such as plastic, bakelite, concre...
