This paper describes a high-speed, robust, scalable, and low-cost feed-forward time amplifier that uses phase detectors and variable delay lines. The amplifier works by detecting the time difference between two rising input edges with a phase detector and adjusting the delay of the variable delay line accordingly. A test chip was designed and fabricated in 65 nm CMOS. The measured resulting per...

Aquantitative relationship is demonstrated between the coefficient of static friction and the milling process parameters. Different levels of surface roughness are obtained by varying the spindle speed, depth of cut and feed which is followed by measurement of surface roughness using stylus profile meter. The corresponding coefficients of static friction are measured for all specimens using inc...

ABSTARCT This paper envisages the optimal setting of process parameters which influences the surface roughness during the machining operation of En 41B alloy steel with cermet tool. Experiments have been carried out by using Taguchi design. The surface roughness is considered as quality characteristic while the process parameters considered are speed, feed and depth of cut. The results of the m...

Intelligence of machine tools is not conditioned only by application of modern control systems, sensors and other active components. The application of new methods of modelling, that is intelligent design of machine tools and to purposefully predict its properties, is also very effective. Machine tool development for high speed and highly precise cutting demands employment of advanced simulatio...

Microlubrication minimizes the exposure of metal working fluids (MWFs) leading to an economical, safer and healthy workplace environment. In this study vegetable based lubricant is used to conduct wear analysis during end milling AISI 1018 steel using microlubrication. Solid carbide cutting tool was used with varying cutting speed and feed rate having a constant depth of cut. A full factorial e...

D flip flop is one of the fundamental building blocks in most digital designs. Many high speed digital circuits such as memory require high speed and low power consumption. In existing method, the charge keeper is used to provide strong 0 and strong 1 since it uses pass transistor for signal feed through technique. A new D Flip Flop is proposed with signal feed through technique using transmiss...

We investigated the variation in eating speed by individual pregnant sows and the influence of feeding dry compared to wet feed. A total of 39 Norwegian Landrace × Yorkshire dry sows, 13 primiparous and 26 multiparous, were included in the experiment. In experimental period 1, each sow was offered 2.2 kg of a standard concentrate feed without added water. In experimental period 2, the sows were...

An improved PID friction feed-forward compensation control based on segment friction model is presented for nonlinear friction perturbation problems of high precision optoelectronic tracking stable platform systems. From the view of engineering application, the friction characteristics of stable platform servo systems are considered, a simple and reasonable segment friction model is established...

Micromilling is a straightforward approach to the manufacture of polymer microfluidic devices for applications in chemistry and biology. This fabrication process reduces costs, provides a relatively simple user interface, and enables the fabrication of complex structures, which makes it ideal for the development of prototypes. In this study, we investigated the influence of micromilling paramet...

The effects of variable moisture content, screw speed and barrel temperature on the physicochemical properties of red ginseng powder extrudates were investigated. The raw red ginseng powders were processed in a co-rotating intermeshing twin-screw extruder. Primary extrusion variables were feed moisture content (20 and 30%), screw speed (200 and 250 rpm) and barrel temperature (115 and 130°C). E...
