Differentiated Services (Diffserv) which was proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is a scalable and robust model for providing the end-to-end QoS. In the Diffserv networks, metering mechanisms are used to measure traffic stream. The single rate Three Color Meter (srTCM) [1],which was proposed by IETF,‏ meters an IP packet stream and marks its packets either green, yellow, or red....

a prototype of a straw chopper, equipped with a discharge system was designed and fabricated in the department of mechanics of agricultural machinery, university of tehran, karaj, iran. to test for the effective performance of the machine, the effects of such parameters as: drum speed (at three levels of: 400, 540, and 800 rpm), screen size (at two levels: 2.5 and 4 cm), and number of blades on...

The smart grid initiative with emphasis on Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has attracted attention to various individuals and governments in the energy industry. This research proposes a Cloud Energy Metering System (CEMS) based on a precision metering IC (ADE7756) and PIC embedded controller (PIC 16F887) with an RF communication link. This will communicate with a location based Enterpri...

With the emergence of the modern roundabout as an effective form of traffic control in the United States, more and more information is needed when situations arise in which additional traffic control is required. The signalization and metering of roundabouts can relieve congestion during peak hours of the day as well as possibly provide safer access for pedestrians and cyclists. Although the si...

This paper proposes a metering cost minimisation model that minimises sampling cost under the constraints of the required sampling accuracy of clean development mechanism (CDM) energy efficiency (EE) lighting project. Usually small scale (SSC) CDM EE lighting projects expect a crediting period of 10 years given that the lighting population will decay as time goes by. The SSC CDM sampling guidel...

In automatic music transcription, metadata extraction from recorded audio data or speaker separation in video conferencing, it is a significant prerequisite task to analyze and separate the audio signal into their original source components. In this report, I study and analyze a set of methods of the extraction of percussive instruments metadata from polyphonic music. It mainly focuses on the s...

The corridor simulation environment with the capability of modeling various types of traffic control strategies as the external control modules is of critical importance in developing and improving corridor management strategies. In this research, a microscopic network simulation model, Vissim, is used to develop such an environment, where the new stratified Mn/DOT metering algorithm was simula...
