To enable a realistic automated manual transmission (AMT) system performance evaluation and rapid prototyping, this paper focuses on constructing a practical Simulink model and a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) real-time simulation. The working principle and dynamic characteristics of the AMT system are first explored. The driveline, the engine control, and the dry clutch are modelled and analysed. ...

BACKGROUND Staging of melanoma includes quantification of a proliferation index, i.e., presumed melanocytic mitoses of H&E stains are counted manually in hot spots. Yet, its reproducibility and prognostic impact increases by immunohistochemical dual staining for phosphohistone H3 (PHH3) and MART1, which also may enable fully automated quantification by image analysis. To ensure manageable workl...

Health monitoring of automated manual transmission (AMT) in modern vehicles can play a critical role to avoid its malfunctions and ensure vehicle functional safety. In order to meet this demand, this paper presents a model-based fault detection and identification (FDI) scheme for AMT. After developing the fault model of AMT, structural analysis (SA)-based fault detectability and isolability is ...

The authors developed a transmission-dispersion model to estimate dispersion in blood sampling systems and to calculate dispersion-free input functions needed for kinetic analysis. Transport of molecules through catheters was considered in two parts: a central part with convective transmission of molecules and a stagnant layer that molecules may enter and leave. The authors measured dispersion ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the quality and accuracy of manual office blood pressure and automated office blood pressure using the awake ambulatory blood pressure as a gold standard. DESIGN Multi-site cluster randomised controlled trial. SETTING Primary care practices in five cities in eastern Canada. PARTICIPANTS 555 patients with systolic hypertension and no serious comorbidities under the car...

Two methods of performing serological screening tests for syphilis are compared. One consisted of the Venereal Diseases Reference Laboratory (VDRL) slide test, the cardiolipin Wassermann reaction (CWR), and the Reiter protein complement fixation test (RPCFT) performed manually; the other was a fully automated system using two Technicon AutoAnalyzers (AAII), one for the automated reagin test (AR...

Software Testing is of mainly two types: Manual Testing and Automated Testing. Manual testing uses the knowledge of the testing engineer to target testing to the parts of the system that are assumed to be more error-prone. Software quality is improved by the use of automated testing. Automated testing cannot replace manual testing but it is used to detect that faults/defects which manual testin...
