In the pharmaceutical industry is no longer worked without instrumented tablet presses. The recording of the press information at different parameters of each test series and batches in the development of tablets and an online measurement and control of pressing forces during the production process is becoming increasingly important. Eccentric tablet presses were equipped with sensors for the u...

During hot seasons the inlet temperature of Nitrogen increases, as a result compressor consumes more power for compressing a specific mass ratio of fluid and consequently total energy consumption of the compressor increases as well. In this research, a three stage centrifugal compressor with intercooler was modeled thermodynamically in order to decreases the energy consumption of the compressor...

The vaporization characteristics of a single fuel droplet subjected to rapid gas-phase compression (i.e., wet compression) are computationally investigated using two spherically-symmetric models: quasisteady (QS) and fully transient (TS). Features of the wet compression process under rapid compression machine (RCM) conditions are discussed with these compared to simulations where the far-field ...

We define a new stochastic process for representing images. We call this process the Ordered-Tree process (OTP). We show the existence of such a process and derive the optimal compression algorithm for such a process. Experimental results have indicated that the algorithm outperforms many existing image compression algorithms. In order to define the stochastic process, we first define a Tree-St...

Although wafer-level camera lenses are a very promising technology, problems such as warpage with time and non-uniform thickness of products still exist. In this study, finite element simulation was performed to simulate the compression molding process for acquiring the pressure distribution on the product on completion of the process and predicting the deformation with respect to the pressure ...

JPEG compression is extensively used in digital cameras, internet, and image databases. The amount of compression can be adjusted by scaling the quantization table or Qtable. In many cases, an iterative process is used to achieve optimum compression having a smaller file size, but still visually lossless at the intended display and viewing distance. This process is very time consuming for large...

Progressive mesh compression techniques have reached very high compression ratios. However, these techniques usually do not take into account associated properties of meshes such as colors or normals, no matter their size, nor do they try to improve the quality of the intermediate decompression meshes. In this work, we propose a framework that uses the associated properties of the mesh to drive...

A new fractal-based image compression system, based on a so-called Adaptive Side-Coupling Quadtree (ASCQ) structure, is proposed. The proposed system consists of three processes: a preprocessing, a compression and a decompression process. In the compression process, the original image is represented by an ASCQ structure. The set of Iterated Function System (IFS) codes, which is usually derived ...
