in this paper, the optimal design of a three phase surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor has been done by particle swarm optimization and bees algorithm. this machine has been designed for high speed applications, and an epoxy and glass fiber bandage is used for permanent magnet protection against centrifugal forces. the optimization has been done by new design equations to improve...

soil compaction is a major problem in many parts of the world. the determination of soil compaction profiles requires fast sampling systems to keep pace with the change in soil moisture condition over time. soil cone penetrometers are commonly used for this purpose. a tractor-mounted soil cone penetrometer was designed and fabricated with multiple probes and the ability to determine cone index ...

To explore the degree which attentional set in one task interferes with performance in a secondary task, we have developed a prototype SRRI test system. This comprises a central task involving driving through a virtual maze and the presentation of an intermittent stream of competing stimuli of varying levels of salience. Centrally presented arrows are followed in the driving task and the stream...

This paper describes a visual interface that recognizes the command request of a person by inferring the intention to travel in a desired direction at a certain speed from the person’s head movements. A rotation and a vertical motion indicate the intent to change direction and speed respectively. The context for which this solution is intended is that of wheelchair bound individuals. This paper...

We present a technique that allows users of video seethrough head-mounted displays to work at close range without the typical loss of stereo perception due to reduced nasal side stereo overlap in most of today’s

This paper introduces a novel method for analyzing video records which contain personal activities captured by a head-mounted camera. This aims to support the user to retrieve the most important or relevant portions from the videos. For this purpose, we use the user’s behaviors which appear when he/she pays attention to something. We define two types of those behaviors, one of which is “gaze at...
