With the advancement of technology, there is a different aspect of designing and allotting number plates to the vehicle of their country. For the several respective regular administrative tasks the license number plate is used by various government offices for purposes like tracking of number plates by the traffic police in case of violation of any traffic rule by a particular vehicle, for the ...

at present, the solutions to prevent bedsore include using various techniques for movement and displacement of patients, which is not  possible for some patients or dangerous for some of them while it also poses problems for health care providers. on the other hand, development of information technology in the health care system including application of wireless sensor networks (wsns) has led t...

background: smart school project is a new step in information age; it can create fundamental changes in teaching-learning process as well as teacher-student tasks and roles and integration of information technology and curriculum. the main purpose of this paper is to evaluate smart schools current statues in mazandaran province based on “smart school” conceptual model during the academic year 2...

increasing complexity and turbulence of the environment, is requires the quickly response and good reaction of organizations, this conditions has increased the need of organizations to think and act beyond their current issues have been solved. in today's competitive and changing environment, being smart and acting smart is the best guarantee for the success of any business. the present st...

a solution to the problem of identification and control of smart structures is presented in this paper. smart structures with build-in sensors and actuators can actively and adaptively change their physical geometry and properties. as a particular example, a representative dynamic model of a typical fighter vertical tail, identified as the smart fin, is considered. piezoelectric patches, which ...

Smart structures are components used in engineering applications that are capable of sensing or reacting to their environment in a predictable and desired manner. In addition to carrying mechanical loads, smart structures may alleviate vibration, reduce acoustic noise, change their mechanical properties as required or monitor their own condition. With the latter point in mind, this article exam...

This paper advances the state of the art in the selection of minimal conngurations of sensors and actuators for active vibration control with smart structures. The method extends previous transducer selection work by (1) presenting a uniied treatment of the selection and placement of large numbers of both sensors and actuators in a smart structure, (2) developing computationally eecient techniq...

Proton and hydroxyl ion play an essential role for tuning functionality of oxides because their electronic state can be controlled by modifying oxygen off-stoichiometry and/or protonation. Tungsten trioxide (WO3), a well-known electrochromic (EC) material for smart window, is a wide bandgap insulator, whereas it becomes a metallic conductor HxWO3 by protonation. Although one can utilize electro...

reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of tou demand response programs. but there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...
