Expert system rheometry

Microfluidic rheometry

The development and growth of microfluidics has stimulated interest in the behaviour of complex liquids in microscale geometries and provided a rich platform for rheometric investigations of non-Newtonian phenomena at small scales. Microfluidic techniques present the rheologist with new opportunities for material property measurement and this review discusses the use of microfluidic devices to ...

How Expert Should an Expert System Be?

A computer system which aids computer engineers in fault diagnosis is described. The system, called CRIB (Computer Retrieval Incidence Bank) is shown to fit into the class of pattern-directed inference systems. Emphasis is placed on the "before" and "after" phases of system generation and it is shown why, to be called an expert system, these phases are important. The forms of knowledge used in ...

Developing a fuzzy expert system to predict technology commercialization success

A majority of efforts in terms of technology commercialization have failed; however, the issue of commercialization and its high importance are agreed upon by policymakers, entrepreneurs, and researchers. This shows the high complexity of the commercialization process. One of the main solutions to overcome the commercialization problems is to predict the success of technology commercialization ...
