Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving an Electrostatic Powder Coating Process via Signal to Noise Response SurfacePongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: In a coating process, the master plate referenced brightness or color shade was critical to the exterior appearance on aluminum alloy wheels. The quality measures of interest are the metallic paint thickness values on four areas. Because of these lower quality levels, the manufacturer has spent more on the cost of restudy or scrap as well as the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of a Robust Multiobserver for the Estimation of Unknown Inputs Using the Piecewise Quadratic FunctionsElyes Maherzi, Mongi Besbes, Sami Zemmel, Radhi MhiriProblem statement: The estimation of states and the unknown inputs of a nonlinear system described by a multimodel are done by a multiobserver. The stabilization of the multiobserver calls upon uses both quadratic and no quadratic functions of Lyapunov. Although the stabilization using the quadratic approach is interesting from the point of view implementation, the step showed its limits for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderactuated Anthropomorphic Finger Mechanism for Grasping and Pinching with Optimized ParameterNorsinnira Zainul Azlan, Yamaura HiroshiProblem statement: Underactuated finger mechanism is beneficial in the anthropomorphic applications in which it reduces the finger size, weight and power consumption due to the less number of actuators compared to its number of Degree Of Freedom (DOF). However, the currently existing underactuated finger is limited to grasping operations only and unable to pinch with the finger tip. Moreover, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptable User Interface Based on the Ecological Interface Design Concept for Multiple Robots Operating Works with UncertaintyHiroshi FurukawaProblem statement: When supervising a team of semi-autonomous robots, the operator’s task is not only the manipulation of each robot but also achievement of the top goal that is assigned to the entire team of humans and robots. The operators are demanded to comprehend highly complex states and make appropriate decisions in dynamic environment using the limited cognitive resources. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Boundary Control of the Incompressible Fluid Problems in Rotation formJia LiuProblem Statement: We consider the optimal boundary control of the linearized Navier-Stokes problem. Both the Stokes problem and Oseen problem in rotation form are considered. Approach: We use the Mark and Cell (MAC) discretization method to discretize the optimization problem with linear constraints including the Stokes problem and the Oseen problem in rotation from. Then Reduced Hessian methods are to … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Renewable and Nonrenewable Energies in Power Plant PlanningHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiProblem statement: Electricity can be generated from different type of technologies such as fossil and non-fossil power plants. Among these technologies, coal-fired power plants have been a major route for electricity generation. Recently, environmental constraints were imposed over the coal power plant operations in order to reduce their emissions. Besides, renewable energy power plants such as hydroelectric, wind, solar and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Performance Analysis of Modified Mid-Square and Mid-Product Techniques to Minimize the Redundancy for Retrieval of Database RecordsK. Meenakshi Sundaram, T. Santhanam, M. Saroja, C. P. SumathiProblem statement: An important tool in the field of education methodology is examination. As far as teaching-learning-evaluation process is concerned, the major task associated with the objective-type examination system is the administration of question paper setting. The lack of expertise and time are the major constraints that are encountered in the task of setting objective type question papers. During retrieval … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDairy Heifer Rearing in Hot Arid Zone: An Economic AssessmentM. A. Razzaque, S. A. Mohammed, T. Al-MutawaProblem statement: Economic losses due to high mortality in young calves born in hot arid zone including Kuwait and a high cost of rearing are the main constraints to this region. Therefore, dairy producers have to depend on importation of pregnant heifers for herd replacement. Research data on cost of heifer rearing from their weaning to first lactation were lacking. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMemory Storage Issues of Temporal Database Applications on Relational Database Management SystemsSami M. Halawani, Nashwan A. Al-RomemaProblem statement: Many existing database applications manage time-varying data. These database applications are referred to as temporal databases or time-oriented database applications that are considered as repositories of time-dependent data. Many proposals have been introduced for developing time-oriented database applications, some of which suggest building support for Temporal Database Management Systems (TDBMS) on top of existing non-temporal DBMSs, while others … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Test Time for System-on-Chip Designs using Fuzzy Logic and Process AlgebraG. Rohini, S. SalivahananProblem statement: Test scheduling is crucially important for optimal SoC test automation to allocate the limited available test resources. In this study we introduced a fuzzy based engine to allocate test resources. The minimized test application time can be achieved by test pipelining. However the test power consumption incurred during test procedure must be controlled in order not to offend … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
