This paper reviews the use of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) for vector-controlled induction motor drives. While conventional schemes do not deal well with the highly nonlinear nature of motor control, fuzzy logic with its adjustability and neural networks with their adaptability have been shown to be excellent alternatives. ANFIS combines the advantages of fuzzy logic and neura...

Double-Electrode Gas Metal Arc Welding (DE-GMAW) is a novel welding process recently developed to increase welding productivity while maintaining the base metal heat input at a desired low level. In this paper, the DE-GMAW process was improved by replacing its non-consumable tungsten electrode with a consumable welding wire electrode resulting in a new process called consumable DE-GMAW. To unde...

Torsional problems of the femur have been traditionally treated by a proximal osteotomy with internal fixation. We elected to perform femoral derotational osteotomies distally. Between September 1994 and April 2001, supracondylar osteotomies were performed on 38 femora in 21 children with torsional and angular deformities. The average age was 9 years (range 5-15 years). Twenty-three femora had ...

Current mode circuits like current conveyors are getting significant attention in current analog ICs design due to their higher band-width, greater linearity, larger dynamic range, simpler circuitry, lower power consumption and less chip area. The second generation current controlled conveyor (CCCII) has the advantage of electronic adjustability over the CCII i.e. in CCCII; adjustment of the X-...

3D freehand Ultrasound reconstruction is one of many choices to assemble 3D ultrasound volume from 2D ultrasound images with benefit in low-cost operations, conveniency and ease of usage which can be applied to intraoperative imaging. Ultrasound calibration is the procedure used to find the position and orientation of each acquired 2D ultrasound image in 3D space, hence is needed to be performe...

Achieving the dimensional integrity for a complex structural assembly is a demanding work due to the manufacturing variations of parts and the tolerance relationship between them. One way to resolve this problem is fabricating all the parts with tight tolerances, which is not an economical way. Another way, which is preferred, is taking advantage of small motions that joints allow such that cri...

For a partially coherent Laguerre–Gaussian (PCLG) vortex beam, information regarding the topological charge (TC) is concealed in cross-spectral density (CSD) function phase. Herein, flexible method for simultaneous determination of sign and magnitude TC PCLG beam proposed based on measured CSD amplitude phase after propagates through dual cylindrical lens with adjustable angles. Both stripes ex...

This paper deals with vibration analysis of a V-Belt drive based on altering conditions pulleys misalignment. The main question this tries to answer is whether there direct and measurable relation between the pulley misalignment machine. Using ADASH analyser accelerometer sensors laser speed sensor attached, we gathered data from our test stand purposely build for task. Designing described as w...

The main limitation in employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is high peak-toaverage power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. A new nonlinear companding algorithm that transforms the OFDM signals into the desirable statistics form defined by a linear piecewise function is proposed. The more adjustability in companding form and an effective trade-off between the ...

We suggest a fast method for finding possibly overlapping network communities of a desired size and link density. Our method is a natural generalization of the finite-T superparamagnetic Potts clustering introduced by Blatt et al (1996 Phys. Rev. Lett.76 3251) and the annealing of the Potts model with a global antiferromagnetic term recently suggested by Reichard and Bornholdt (2004 Phys. Rev. ...
