The main theme of this paper is to present novel controller, which is a genetic based fuzzy Logic controller, for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drives with direct torque control. A radial basis function network has been used for online tuning of the genetic based fuzzy logic controller. Initially different operating conditions are obtained based on motor dynamics incorporating...

Nowadays, with the increasing usage of IoT (Internet of Things) devices in daily lives, the data collected from those connected devices can help understanding user behaviours and delivering better services to individual users. In this thesis, we explored the device log data collected from connected air purifier devices to analyze usage behavior patterns. Further, we integrated the device log da...

A single shadow driver is written for each device class, implementing the same interface to the operating system that a driver for a real device does. A shadow runs silently alongside each real driver, observing requests, until failure is detected by the OS. This triggers a restart of the real driver, while the shadow temporarily assumes responsibility for spoofing it and handling application r...

Operation of the PSI cyclotrons has always relied heavily on manual control. Tuning of our high intensity beams for minimum losses is an art still depending on personal skill. An ergonomically good design of the knobbox is therefore essential for good operation. The age of the previous design, and the request to implement the ACS knobbox in the SLS control system based on EPICS, was an opportun...

Editor’s key points † Perception of patient safety is an important component of organizational structure essential to quality improvement, but is complex and difficult to study. † This study examined the influence of environment (operating theatre or intensive care unit) and discipline on organizational factors (latent risk factors) in four university hospitals using a new survey instrument. † ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the ability of the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA; Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments, Buffalo, NY) to distinguish between normal and keratoconic eyes, by comparing pressure and waveform signal-derived parameters. METHODS This retrospective comparative case series study included 112 patients with normal corneas and 41 patients with bilateral keratoconic eyes. One eye from each...

In this paper, we compare running the Linux operating system on the compute nodes of ASCI Red hardware to running a specialized, highly-optimized lightweight kernel (LWK) operating system. We have ported Linux to the compute and service nodes of the ASCI Red supercomputer, and have run several benchmarks. We present performance and scalability results for Linux compared with the LWK environment...

because of specific characteristics of companies in specific industries such asconstruction industry, whose operation cycles are usually more than one fiscal year,there are different methods and policies for revenue recognition. errors inaccounting estimates in specific industries reduce the usefulness of accountinginformation. it makes reported profit in the financial statements vary from actu...
