fault tolerance is one of the important issues in industries, such as transportation, military, chemical and nuclear sectors. reliability and safety are two vital attributes of fault tolerant systems, and redundancy is a common way to improve these parameters. this article studies the impact of including cold standby spares in system architecture. to do this, it uses the markov model of the sys...

To study switching behavior, an experiment mimicking the state of a driver on the road was conducted. In each trial participants were given a chance to switch lanes. Despite the fact that lane switching had no sound rational basis, participants often switched lanes when the speed of driving in their lane on the previous trial was relatively slow. That tendency was discerned even when switching ...

Abstract All‐solid‐state switches are one of the core components pulsed power supply systems. However, voltage level a single switch is limited. By optimizing chip structure, can be improved. Due to immaturity production process and positive correlation between blocking on‐resistance switch, it difficult improve continuous forward current simultaneously. The series‐connected way increase switch...

In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...

introduction patients with palliated congenital heart disease may present later in life for major, non-cardiac surgical procedures. although alternative surgical techniques are now available for the treatment of the transposition of the great arteries (tga), an atrial level baffle (mustard or senning procedure) was previously performed. long-term adverse effects of the atrial level switch inclu...

There is growing interest in using electric motors as prime movers mobile hydraulic systems. This increases the so-called pump-controlled systems, where each actuator has its own drive unit. Such architectures are primarily appealing applications energy efficiency important and recuperation relevant. An issue with systems is, however, mode-switch oscillations which can appear when pressure leve...

Link bundling is a way to increase routing scalability whenever a pair of Label Switching Routers in MPLS are connected by multiple parallel links. However, link bundling can be inefficient as a Label Switched Path (LSP) has to be associated with a particular link. In this paper, we show that the efficiency of link bundling can be significantly improved if traffic can be effectively distributed...

VISWESWARA, SHARAT C. An Automatic, Adaptive, Ad-hoc Algorithm for Power Conservation in Sensor Networks using Switch-off (Under the guidance of Dr. Rudra Dutta). Wireless sensor networks are set to revolutionize the way we sense and control our environment. A set of nodes equipped with sensors and capable of communicating with each other in ad-hoc fashion, they relay their data to a monitoring...

Network-on-Chips (NoCs) constitute a message-passing infrastructure and can fulfil communication requirements of the today’s System-on-Chips (SoCs), which integrate numerous semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) blocks into a single die. As the NoC is responsible for data transport among IPs, its reliability is very important regarding the reliability of the entire system. In deep nanoscale ...
