A classification technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for detection of rolling element bearing fault is presented here.  The SVM was fed from features that were extracted from of vibration signals obtained from experimental setup consisting of rotating driveline that was mounted on rolling element bearings which were run in normal and with artificially faults induced conditio...

Many computational engineering problems ranging from finite element methods to image processing involve the batch processing on a large number of data items. While multielement processing has the potential to harness computational power of parallel systems, current techniques often concentrate on maximizing elemental performance. Frameworks that take this greedy optimization approach often fail...

The dry-grind corn process is one of two technologies used to convert corn into ethanol. In this process, all kernel components are processed through several sequential steps, including fermentation. Only one coproduct (distillers' dried grains with solubles [DDGS]) is available for marketing. DDGS provide income to offset costs of processing; issues that affect marketing have implications in t...

Today the power consumption of integrated circuits (ICs) is considered as one of the most important problems for high performance chips. Many low power techniques have been proposed during the last 15 years [1]. In this paper the structure and instruction set of a processing element (PE), as a basic building block of complex ICs, is described. The micro-power PE’s model is described writing eff...

An adaptive finite element strategy is employed to solve the Perona-Malik model as modified by Catté, Lions, Morel and Coll for image processing by (often highly) nonlinear diffusion. FEMLAB® and MATLAB® are used to implement the experiments and they prove to be very suitable tools to run this type of problem. Refinement and coarsening of the grids are used as needed and the approach leads to u...

For a general pair of a given nonconforming and a desired conforming nite element space, we construct and analyze a transfer operator that can be used for a post-processing procedure where a conforming approximation is computed from a nonconforming nite element solution. For this post-processing, we prove local and global estimates of the error between the exact solution and the conforming appr...

The visual front-end of reading is most often associated with orthographic processing. The left ventral occipito-temporal cortex seems to be preferentially tuned for letter string and word processing. In contrast, little is known of the mechanisms responsible for pre-orthographic processing: the processing of character strings regardless of character type. While the superior parietal lobule has...
