We apply fillets — smoothing of sharp angles at the joints — between the connections and nodes of graph-like diagrams. In situations where the graph layout is constrained, e.g. Focus+Context views or views where the coordinates of the nodes are informative, fillets can clarify the relationships considerably without altering the layout. A visual search experiment supports our hypothesis that wit...

The need to transmit data over Internet is increasing at a very fast pace, which requires techniques that can considerably reduce the size of images so that they occupy less space and bandwidth for transmission. In this paper, we have used Kohonen’s self organizing map (SOM) network, which is a class of neural networks, for image compression and feature extraction. Moreover, a global processing...

This paper presents a method to reduce the commutation torque ripple in a position sensorless brushless DC motor drive. To compensate the commutation torque ripple considerably, the duration of commutation must be known. The proposed method measures the duration of commutation from the terminal voltage of the motor, calculates a PWM duty ratio using the measured commutation interval to suppress...

The paper presents the data on hemorhelogical parameters of blood of patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. These parameters are the crucial parameters, which adversely affect many vital functions of human body. A simple open capillary tube method is employed for the determination of characteristic velocity, volume flow rate, viscosity and surface tension. The coefficient of viscosity ...
