End-System Optimizations for High-Speed TCP

Modern TCP implementations are capable of very high point-to-point bandwidths. Delivered performance on the fastest networks is often limited by the sending and receiving hosts, rather than by the network hardware or the TCP protocol implementation itself. In this case, systems can achieve higher bandwidth by reducing host overheads through a variety of optimizations above and below the TCP pro...

High-Speed Reclosing System and Machine Considerations

Machine Learning for High-Speed Corner Detection

Goal A very fast, high quality corner detector. Contributions 1. The segment-test algorithm for detecting features. 2. Machine learning used to create very efficient implementation: the FAST feature detector. 3. Extensive testing of the new detector against existing ones. Results 1. Extremely fast feature detector: uses less than 7% of the available CPU time in live video feeds. 2. Very high qu...

Rotor Dynamic Response of a High-Speed Machine Tool Spindle

In high-speed machining, the maximum stable depth of cut at any spindle rotating frequency depends on the spindle-holder-tool dynamic stiffness as reflected at the tool’s free end. Because this dynamic stiffness can vary with rotating frequency, we have modeled the spindle dynamic response using a finite element-based rotordynamics approach. The spindle shaft is modeled using beam finite elemen...

2225 High Speed Machine Vision Sensing of Cotton Lint Trash

As machine design in the cotton ginning industry advances, the trend is towards systems that allow for dynamic adjustment of cleaning capabilities. There is however, a lack of real-time sensors suitable for detection of the trash content that would allow for determination of the trash content before the machine performs the cleaning. Current state of the art sensors typically sense the product’...
