This paper investigates the degradation in diagnosability of bridging faults caused by situations of active feedback and logically unresolvable intermediate values under different fault modeling assumptions. The experimental results show that active feedback may reduce the fault coverage by as much as 7% for stuck-at test sets and realistic bridging fault sets. A test generation method for full...

This paper presents the vision-based road detection system currently operative onto the MOB-LAB land vehicle. Based on a full-custom low-cost massively parallel system, it achieves real-time performances (' 17 Hz) in the processing of image sequences, thanks to the extremely eecient implementation of the algorithm. Assuming a at road and the complete set of acquisition parameters to be known (c...

Recent years, offshore outsourcing has received large amount of attention from both industry and academia because of its attractive advantages such as cost reduction, talent access. As an alternative way to implement information systems in operation management, offshore insourcing has been greatly overlooked. Though organizations shun from the contractual obligations in offshore insourcing, the...

abstract: one the most important problems in recent sensitive loads is the quality of voltage. for this challenge custom power devices are used in distribution systems. dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) is a custom power device that improves voltage, decrease power distortion, filter harmonics and balance distributed generations (dgs) with low voltage distribution system. in this paper, a new algo...

PURPOSE: An analytical model to predict the response of mounds placed in the offshore is presented, with the overall aim of providing a technique for the preliminary design of mounds subjected mainly to cross-shore sediment-transport processes induced by non-breaking waves. For example, offshore mounds created from dredged material can be used to protect sandy beaches by dissipating wave energy...

An imbalance in the transport current among the strands of a Cable-in-Conduit conductors (CICC) can be associated with the change of their performance. In order to understand and improve the performance of CICC’s, it is essential to study the current imbalance. This paper focuses on the study of the current imbalance in two short samples of the SeCRETS (Segregated Copper Ratio Experiment on Tra...

| A methodology for the automatic synthesis of full-custom IC layout with analog constraints is presented. The methodology guarantees that all performance constraints are met when feasible, or otherwise infeasibil-ity is detected as soon as possible, thus providing a robust and eecient design environment. In the proposed approach, performance speciications are translated into lower level bounds...

Offshore aquaculture is increasingly viewed as a mechanism to meet growing protein demand for seafood, while minimizing adverse consequences on the environment and other uses in the oceans. However, despite growing interest in offshore aquaculture, there appears to be no consensus as to what measures commonly define an offshore site or how effects of offshore aquaculture—relative to more nearsh...
