The first part of paper describes step by step installation of Switched Reluctance Motor & its drive. A special procedure for installation (Mechanical as well as Electrical) is developed in order to reduce acoustic noise, EMI interference and torque ripple of a motor. A serious electrical interference problem is solved using special designed screened cable. The second part of paper describes dy...

A mass smart meter roll-out represents a vast challenge concerning the performing of the corresponding installation processes. Starting from the hypothesis that meter operators would be able to successfully implement a mass smart meter roll-out in Germany under the current conditions, we show that a determined lack of process support by information and communication technology (ICT) indicates t...

Traditional dynamic arts have much to offer and it is time to explore how the elements and techniques from stage performances could contribute to interaction design. We try to apply performance techniques and elements from dynamic art forms in the design process of interactive art installations for public spaces. Currently we try not to identify new technologies; instead we investigate how the ...

In this paper, we examine a multi-period capacity expansion problem for a local access telecommunications network with a tree topology. Capacity expansion is realized through the installation of concentrators at the nodes and cables on the links of the network. Clearly, the installation of concentrators reduces the need for additional cables, and conversely. The goal is to find the least cost a...

OBJECTIVE Details on airbag injuries to the upper extremity are relatively unknown to clinicians. The injuries presented here should provide a clear understanding of the mechanisms of forearm, hand, and wrist injuries that may be seen by emergency room physicians. MATERIALS AND METHODS From our crash investigations of 325 airbag-equipped passenger cars, a subset of upper extremity injuries ar...

In 2005, the Department of Defense completed its fifth round of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). This process involved analytically determining the military value (MV) of an installation and then ranking all installations based on MV scores. These rankings were used to determine which installations would be closed or realigned, subject to meeting minimum Army requirements for maintaining ce...

This paper presents a feed forward back-propagation neural network model to predict the retained tensile strength and design chart in order to estimation of the strength reduction factors of nonwoven geotextiles due to installation process. A database of 34 full-scale field tests were utilized to train, validate and test the developed neural network and regression model. The results show that t...
