A variable reluctance machine (VRM) has been proven to be an outstanding candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications. This paper introduces a new double-stator, 12/14/12-pole three-phase hybrid-excited modular variable reluctance machine (MVRM) for EV applications. In order to demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed structure, the static torque characteristics and dynamic performance...

although control charts are very common to monitoring process changes, they usually do not indicate the real time of the changes. identifying the real time of the process changes is known as change-point estimation problem. there are a number of change point models in the literature however most of the existing approaches are dedicated to normal processes. in this paper we propose a novel appro...

Control charting is synonymous with statistical process control (SPC). However, the traditional control chart assumption of data independence is often violated in process industries. This problem has been analyzed and necessary modifications to the widely used SPC tools have been suggested. The performances of the modified estimators and proposed control schemes have also been studied, through ...

In this paper an all-optical serial-to-parallel converter (SPC) based on the symmetric Mach-Zehnder (SMZ) interferometers operating at 80 Gb/s is presented. The proposed SPC is simulated and in particular its crosstalk (CXT) characteristics is investigated for a range of different system parameters such as signal and control pulse powers, delay time between the control pulses, and the main phys...

statistical process control (spc) charts play a major role in quality control systems, and their correct interpretation leads to discovering probable irregularities and errors of the production system. in this regard, various artificial neural networks have been developed to identify mainly singular patterns of spc charts, while having drawbacks in handling multiple concurrent patterns. in this...

PURPOSE Single-pill-combination (SPC) antihypertensive drug products have been shown to improve compliance but are associated with higher acquisition costs. This study compared the clinical and economic outcomes associated with the use of an SPC of amlodipine/valsartan (trade name Exforge) with the outcomes from conventional combination therapy in patients failing to respond to initial monother...

Statistical process control (SPC) charts have previously been advocated for infection control quality improvement. To determine their effectiveness, a multicentre randomised controlled trial was undertaken to explore whether monthly SPC feedback from infection control nurses (ICNs) to healthcare workers of ward-acquired meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (WA-MRSA) colonisation or infect...

This paper investigates the Triangle Single Parity Check (T/SPC) code, a novel class of high-rate low-complexity LDPC codes. T/SPC is a regular, soft decodable, linear-time encodable/decodable code. Compared to previous high-rate and low-complexity LDPC codes, such as the well-known Turbo Product Code / Single Parity Check (TPC/SPC), T/SPC provides higher code rates, shorter code words, and low...

The huperzine A-phospholipid complex loaded biodegradable thermosensitive PLGA-PEG-PLGA polymer gel was studied as injectable implant system for controlled release of huperzine-A (HA). First, HA molecules were successfully incorporated into the soybean phosphatidylcholine (SP) molecules to form the huperzine-A-soybean phosphatidylcholine complexes (HA-SPC), which was proved by FT-IR, DSC, XRD, ...
