Integrated general models of approximate approaches of complex multi-state series and parallel systems, linking their reliability and availability improvement models and their operation processes models caused changing reliability and safety structures and components reliability characteristics in different operation states, are constructed. These joint models are applied to determining improve...

The use of series architecture nowadays is mainly on hybrid buses. In comparison with series-parallel and parallel architectures, which are usually exploited medium-size cars, the allows achieving internal combustion engine higher efficiency. downside this architecture, due to a double energy conversion (i.e., mechanical converted in electrical again energy), that additional losses introduced. ...

Series-parallel poset verification is a powerful methodology for proving the design correctness of complex systems and protocols. In this paper we use series-parallel posets to model and verify the behavior of a distributed transmission protocol with multiple senders and receivers. The verification is carried out with the SPPV environment.

The use of pumps linked in parallel or series in large scale pipe systems is usually inevitable, to meet the required head and discharge. Transient flow occurs following a pump failure in a pump group as a result of variations in the flow rate. This research is an investigation about waterhammer caused by one or more pump-switch off in a pump group when they are connected in parallel. The opera...

Abstract: This paper presents a design approach for the configuration synthesis of series-parallel hybrid transmissions with eight-bar mechanisms. The final design consists of 54 mechanisms with eight members and twelve joints including a simple planetary gear train (PGT) and a double planet PGT. Then, by using the techniques of power and clutch arrangements, new series-parallel hybrid transmis...

this paper surveys parallel scheduling problems and metrics correlated to and then applys metrics to make decision in comparison to other policy schedulers. parallel processing is new trend in computer science especially in embedded and multicore systems whereas needs more power consumption to reach speed up. the qos requirement for users is to have good responsiveness and for service providers...

Silvaco’s Guardian LVS tool compares two circuits that are defined by their netlists. The comparison is based strictly on the topological structure of these circuits. Topologically equivalent netlists are considered different, even if they are functionally equivalent. There are several techniques available for designing the same functionality by means of topologically different netlists. While ...

A parallel preconditioner is proposed for general large sparse linear systems that combines a power series expansion method with low-rank correction techniques. To enhance convergence, seri...
