Abstract We present a new interaction space for wearables by inlaying interactive elements, in the form of buttons, into outdoor clothing, specifically jackets and coats. Interactive buttons, or iButtons, allow users to perform specific tasks using inconspicuous gesture...

Accurate modeling of process temperatures within jacketed batch reactors has the potential to mitigate risk thermal runaways and enhance control. A non-adiabatic heat-transfer model is derived for investigation heat transfer in laboratory pilot-scale 0.5–40 L. By accounting removed from by a total condenser losses through lid, able predict temperature profiles uncertainty limits experimental me...

This article reads Herman Melville’s White-Jacket as an exploration of shipboard boredom, which oscillates between mechanized labor (tedium) and periods idleness at sea (ennui). The story, revolves around a sailor wearing white jacket among navy-blue uniforms, gives account the perils boredom. My contention is that this (subject) gets so attached to his (object) he becomes unable tell differenc...

Abstract Most of common thermal jackets for gun tubes are composite types, which have large mass and complex structures. With the development material technology, a single-layer jacket using new materials with low conductivity has good protection effects on tubes. The design requires consideration thickness, air gap, properties structural strength. In order to study factors that affect performa...

The ironless linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (ILPMSM) is highly compact, easy to control, and exhibits minimal thrust fluctuations, making it an ideal choice for direct loading applications requiring precise positioning accuracy in test rigs. To address the issue of temperature rise resulting from increased primary winding current simultaneously enhance density while minimizing this p...

This paper performed compressive tests on corroded reinforced concrete (RC) columns with externally confined ultra-high performance (UHPC) jacket. The studied parameters in this testing program was the corrosion ratio of specimens. influences parameter behavior by UHPC jacket reported and discussed. test results revealed that when rust rate less than 20%, axial cracking typical failure mode unr...

The multi-scale modelling of process systems using hierarchical coloured Petri nets for diagnostics is investigated in this report. A case study is used to systematically show the modelling approach using an illustrative example of a tank reactor with cooling jacket. This form of representation shows how CPNs can provide a hierarchically structured framework for advanced fault diagnosis. Resear...
