The feature of continuous interaction in pen-based system is critically significant. Seamless mode switch can effectively enhance the fluency of interaction. The interface which incorporated the advantages of seamless and continuous operation has the potential of enhancing the efficiency of operation and concentrating the users' attention. In this paper, we present a seamless and continuous ope...

Investigations were conducted to evaluate the performance of a two-stroke, single cylinder, spark ignition (SI) engine, with gasohol (80% gasoline and 20% ethanol by volume) having copper coated engine [CCE, copper-(thickness, 300 μ) coated on piston crown, inner side of cylinder head] provided with catalytic converter with different catalysts of sponge iron and manganese ore and compared with ...

Microbial desalination cells (MDCs) have  great potential as a cost-effective and green technology for simultaneous water desalination, organic matter removal and energy production. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of a MDC under batch and continuous feeding conditions. Hence, power and current output, coulombic efficiency, electron harvest rate, desalination rate and COD re...

Industrial and experimental induction furnaces are used for melting various types of iron ingots, returned scraps and DRI sponge pellets to produce high purity cast - iron and steel heats. The lowest consumption of electrical energy determined for continuous feeding operation is 0.3 KWH/Kg for the production of cast - iron in a 1.5 - ton industrial furnace and 0.45 KWH/Kg for the production of ...

Diesel fuels of 50 and 15 ppm of sulfur content were produced in a pilot plant by upgrading light catalytic cracking gas oil (LCO) during 10 weeks of continuous operation. The end-of-run catalysts were characterized before and after soluble coke extraction by CH2Cl2. The cokes were characterized by CNMR, TPO, GC-MS, and elemental analysis. Catalyst surfaces were characterized by XPS, CO adsorpt...
