Multiplicative Increase (MI), Additive Increase (AI), and Multiplicative Decrease (MD) are linear adjustments used extensively in networking. However, their properties are not fully understood. We analyze responsiveness (time for the total load to reach the target load), smoothness (maximal size of the total load oscillations after reaching the target load), fairing speed (speed of convergence ...

In order to tolerate long latency instructions, large load and store queue is necessary to bypass in flight information to dependent instruction; but as the latency goes up, the size of the load and store queue will increase as well, which will impact cycle time, area and power. Hierarchical designs in [2] and [10] was proposed to alleviate cycle time problem, but the CAM and search functions r...

The optimization of aerospace structures is a very complex problem, owing to the hundreds of design variables a multidisciplinary optimization may contain, so that multilevel optimization is required. This paper presents recent developments to the optimization software VICONOPT MLO, a multilevel optimization interface between the analysis and design software packages VICONOPT and MSC/NASTRAN. T...

in this paper, a new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, which combines the rankin power cycle and the ejector refrigeration cycle. this combined cycle produces both power output and refrigeration output simultaneously. this cycle is driven by the flue gas of gas turbines, industrial waste heats, solar energy and geothermal energy. an exergy analysis is performed to guide the th...

Unit-load warehouses receive and ship material or products in single discrete units, usually as pallet loads. They are commonly found in industry; examples include third-party transshipment warehouses, grocery and beverage distributors, appliance manufacturers and import distribution centers. Many break-bulk facilities, which break down a pallet into smaller volume packages for shipment, also h...

Recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have shown potential for measuring non-uniform deformations throughout the volume (i.e. three-dimensional (3D) deformations) in small orthopedic tissues such as articular cartilage. However, to analyze cartilage deformation using MRI techniques, a system is required which can construct images from multiple acquisitions of MRI signals from the c...

Depleting oil reserves and the growing concerns of global warming, have made it compulsory to seek alternative in form of environment friendly technologies like renewable energy sources. The advantage of hybrid power systems is the combination of the continuously available diesel power and locally available, pollution-free wind energy. With the Wind-Diesel hybrid power system, the annual diesel...

The growing test outsourcing business is characterized by a number of challenges. Production loading is nonlinear primarily due to market conditions, but also due to yield and wafer availability. This creates periods of high demand where there is a shortage of capacity and operations cycle times increase, or limited loading where the Subcontract Manufacturer (SCM) has difficulty maintaining pro...

Monitoring multiple biosignals, such as heart rate, respiration cycle, and weight transitions, contributes to the health management of individuals. Specifically, it is possible to measure multiple biosignals using load information obtained through contact with the environment, such as a chair and bed, in daily use. A wide-range load sensor is essential since load information contains multiple b...
