The implementation of a high-performance Network on Chip (NoC) requires an efficient design of the network interface (NI) unit that connects the switched network to the IP cores. However, different interfaces’ specification of integrated components and different flow control is used by NoC router raises a considerable difficulty for adopting NoC techniques. The architecture of NIs must be modul...

Aim of the proposed methodology is to perform design space exploration at a high-level of abstraction based on high-level estimations of different parameters. In particular, this paper presents a methodology for static and dynamic estimation of the power consumption of the software components. This analysis is based on a fast software compilation strategy that allows a fast re-targeting over di...

In this paper, a 20-ton prototype compound hybrid excavator is presented which includes assisting electric motor, swing electric motor, a super capacitor pack, an engine and negative flow hydraulic system. The energy-saving principle of hybrid excavator is introduced as well. The development rules of power train which include parameter design rules of key components and hierarchical structure o...

In emerging electric power systems, increased transactions often lead to the situations where the system no longer remains in secure operating region. The flexible Ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers can play an important role in the power system security enhancement. However, due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these controllers optimally in the power system. FACTS...

objective: the current study was undertaken to examine the bactericide effects of atmospheric plasma produced by flat and comb electrodes on e.coli. materials and methods: dc (20 w) and ac (500 w) power supplies, flat and comb electrodes, insulator and oxygen gas were used to produce atmospheric plasma. bactericide effects of the atmospheric plasma were studied on e.coli on sterilized plate pla...

objective(s): one applications of nanotechnology is in the area of medicine which is called nanomedicine. primary instruments in nanomedicine can help us to detect diseases and used for drug delivery to inaccessible areas of human tissues. an important issue in simulating the motion of nanoparticles is modeling blood flow as a newtonian or non-newtonian fluid. sometimes blood flow is simulated ...

Gas turbine engines are used in a variety of power generation applications, including providing thrust for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, turning electrical generators in combined-cycle power plants, and powering the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. In the high-temperature region of the turbine section, a complex vortical (swirling) flow present near the junction of a turbine airfoil an...

The achievement of a higher degree of integration of components--especially micropumps and power sources--is a challenge currently being pursued to obtain portable and totally autonomous microfluidic devices. This paper presents the integration of a micro direct methanol fuel cell (μDMFC) in a microfluidic platform as a smart solution to provide both electrical and pumping power to a Lab-on-a-C...
