Current systems use caching to provide high performance and possibly support disconnected operation. However, current solutions are type specific. With the advent of modular distributed operating systems and mobile machines there is a need to provide generic support for implementing cacheable/disconnectable services. We present an architecture that can be used to implement cacheable/disconnecta...

Photovoltaic-electric spring (PV-ES) is a promising topology to utilize widespread residential roof-top photovoltaic systems in demand-side management. Power control for an integrated configuration of photovoltaic-electric system achieve dynamic supply-demand balance power distribution networks presented. Extraction maximum from PV panel using Perturb and Observe algorithm along with boost conv...

We consider optimal dynamic multidrug therapies for human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) type 1 infection. We describe an optimal tracking problem attempting to move the state of the system from an “unhealthy” state (high virus load and low immune response) to a “healthy” one (with low viral load and high immune effector levels). We consider feedback control with full state as well as with partial...

The dynamic characteristics of the complex relationship among sealing system, excitation, and response have a considerable impact on operational reliability hydrodynamic mechanical seals, which is critical issue in field theory technology. Scholars at home abroad established models calculated displacement responses static rings time domain based force these so that results can be used for syste...

We present distributed system architecture for smartphone-based participatory sensing applications, where the computational load is distributed between the participating devices. The system allows using of static data to reduce the computational load further. Secondly, we present a conceptual participatory sensing application for detecting pedestrian flocks moving into the same direction in cer...

This paper proposes a design of SMA-based bionic suction cup actuator, the core of which is that the bias spring cooperates with the SMA spring to produce a displacement at the varying temperature caused by the drive current. To characterize the dynamic drive performance of the actuator, the thermody‐ namic model is established by the constitutive model of SMA material of Tanaka series. The sim...

An improved computation of the load-displacement prediction for a coned disc spring is proposed. This work is an extension work of the previous proposed energy-based computation for coned disc springs. To show the validity of the improved method, the load-displacement results using the improved computation, the previous proposed method, and the finite element analyses are compared. In this work...

Finite element method in pavement analysis is a type of mechanistic analysis that has widely been used by road and transportation engineers these days. This method is used with related programs such as ABAQUS/CAE which is one of the powerful software on this task. Modeling in this software has been developed from 2D static models to 3D dynamic models which are closer to reality due to the more ...
