Received Jun 6, 2012 Revised Dec 19, 2012 Accepted Jan 27, 2013 In a large inter-connected system, large and small generating stations are synchronously connected and hence all stations must have the same frequency. The system frequency deviation is the sensitive indicator of real power imbalance. The main objectives of AGC are to maintain constant frequency and tie-line errors with in prescrib...

Recent technological developments have attracted the use of machine learning technologies and sensors in various pavement maintenance rehabilitation studies. To avoid excessive road damages, which cause high costs, reduced mobility, vehicle safety concerns, periodic roads is necessary. As part works, conditions should be monitored continuously. This monitoring possible using modern distress det...

Controller area networks (CANs) are a broadcast protocol for real-time communication of critical vehicle subsystems. Original equipment manufacturers passenger vehicles hold secret their mappings CAN data to signals, and these definitions vary according make, model, year. Without mappings, the wealth information hidden in packets is uninterpretable, severely impeding vehicle-related research, i...

A “Storage-Area Network” (SAN) comprises computers (“Initiators”), storage “block devices” (“Targets”), and a Controller(s). Most SANs use the SCSI protocol over various communication infrastructures. Presently, all Initiator Target traffic must pass through the Controller, severely limiting scalability. We extend the SCSI-3 Transport layer to support distribution, and combine this with SCSI's ...
