reservoir permeability is a critical parameter for characterization of the hydrocarbon reservoirs. in fact, determination of permeability is a crucial task in reserve estimation, production and development. traditional methods for permeability prediction are well log and core data analysis which are very expensive and time-consuming. well log data is an alternative approach for prediction of pe...

A bearingless induction machine has combined characteristics of induction motor and magnetic bearings. Therefore, the advantages are small size and low-cost. In the magnetic suspension of the bearingless motors, suspension forces are generated based on the feedback signals of displacement sensors detecting the movement of the rotor shaft. The suspension forces are generated taking an advantage ...

This article presents improvements in the segmentation module, feature extraction module, and the classification module of a low-cost automated visual inspection (AVI) system for wood defect classification. One of the major drawbacks in the low-cost AVI system was the erroneous segmentation of clear wood regions as defects, which then introduces confusion in the classification module. To reduce...

We propose an approach to secure on-demand mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing protocols by leveraging low-complexity trustworthy MANET modules (TMM). Such TMMs, which perform some trivial hard-wired functions involving simple logical and hash operations, can be realized at low cost. We describe the functionality of such TMMs to offer a sound trusted computing base (TCB) for securing MANETs. ...

In this paper, a low cost fabrication of sub micron features size SAW device with conventional lithography and their application for toxic chemical vapor detection has been presented. The SAW devices with different interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes line widths were designed and fabricated. The fabricated SAW devices features had an accuracy of ± 0.1 μm. Frequency response of the SAW devi...
