In the contemporary research environment, users access and manipulate information gathered from diverse data sources. The Organization Engine is a prototype being developed at the Cambridge Research Lab of Digital Equipment Corporation for the incorporation of data from disparate sources into a local homogeneous framework. It relies on information management based on the notion of retrieval and...

 Microsoft Repository is an object-oriented meta-data management facility that ships in Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft SQL Server. It includes two main components: • A repository engine that implements a set of object-oriented interfaces on top of a SQL database system. A developer can use these interfaces to define information models (i.e., schemas) and manipulate instances of the mode...

Intelligent Control and Health Management technology for aircraft propulsion systems is much more developed in the laboratory than in practice. With a renewed emphasis on reducing engine life cycle costs, improving fuel efficiency, increasing durability and life, etc., driven by various government programs, there is a strong push to move these technologies out of the laboratory and onto the eng...

one-third of the people with an age over twenty have some signs of degenerated discs. however, in most of the patients the mere presence of degenerative discs is not a problem leading to pain, neurological compression, or other symptoms. this paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy hybrid rule-based system to diagnose the abnormal degenerated discs where pain variables are represented by interv...

In order to develop more efficient engines, it is essential to optimize the lubrication circuit of the power train systems. In this paper, during an engine design and development process, a network analysis of the engine lubrication system is described in detail. Two elements have been added to the lubrication circuit in the modified engine. These elements are hydraulic lifters and an Anti-d...

Increasing current vehicle development trends for small, light, front wheel drive vehicles with low idle speeds have been forced automotive industries to use hydraulic engine mounts for further improvement in vibration, noise and harshness (NVH) performance of the vehicles. However, with the development of modern vehicle designs such as hybrid vehicles and variable engine management systems whi...

Nowadays, automotive engine compensation control is carried out electronically by utilizing many compensation maps in engine management systems; such that the engine can sustain its performance under the variations in engine operating conditions and environmental parameters. In traditional engine compensation map calibration, the parameters are normally set by a trial and error method because t...

We demonstrate an enterprise Dynamic Thresholding System for data-agnostic management of monitoring flows. The dynamic thresholding based on data historical behavior enables adaptive and more accurate control of business environments compared to static thresholding. We manifest the main blocks of a complex analytical engine that is implemented in VMware vCenter Operations Manager as a principal...

The predominant Web search model attempts to use multiple computers under centralised management to act as one search engine for the entire Web. As the quantity of online information increases, systems based on this model become prohibitively expensive for all but the largest organisations. We advocate the use of distributed search architectures where multiple independently owned and managed se...
