Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Fuzzy Logic Control with Input Shaping for Input Tracking and Sway Suppression of a Gantry Crane SystemM. A. Ahmad, Z. MohamedProblem statement: Most of the common gantry crane results in a sway motion when transporting the load as fast as possible. In addition, precise cart position control of gantry crane must required a zero or near zero residual sway. Approach: In this study, the development of hybrid control schemes for input tracking and anti-sway control of a gantry crane system … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeating Effects on Structural and Electrical Properties of PolyetherimideNissaf Mzabi, Hichem Smaoui, Hajer Guermazi et al.Problem statement: Polyetherimide (PEI) has several uses such as electrical insulation. It can undergo different constraints like heat or high voltage which influence its performances as insulator. In this study, the effects of heating on structural and electrical properties of polyetherimide (Ultem 1000) are studied. Approach: PEI samples were heated at different temperatures below the glass transition temperature (175, 190 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,550 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeoradar Measurements for the Snow Cover DensityA. GodioGround Probing Radar (GPR) devices is adopted for the analysis of thickness and the mechanical properties (density) of the snow cover in some test site in Alps, in Northern Italy. The performances of standard radar systems for the snow cover characterisation are analysed, the main aim is to assess the reliability of the method to estimate the snow density, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Quality Improvement Using DVRC. Benachaiba, B. FerdiVoltage sags and swells in the medium and low voltage distribution grid are considered to be the most frequent type of power quality problems based on recent power quality studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is severe. The impact ranges from load disruptions to substantial economic losses up to millions of dollars. Different solutions have been developed to protect sensitive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBentonite used as Adsorbent Agent of the Coupling Adsorption Ultrafiltration of the Secondary Effluents for their ReuseD. Abdessemed, G. NezzalThis present study has for principal objective to treat secondary effluents of the Staoueli purification plant (Algeria) with the average characteristics in the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is 76 mg L-1and 16 NTU of turbidity by adsorption ultrafiltration coupling for its reuse in irrigation or in industry to reduce the water demand. A mineral ultrafiltration tubular membrane of CARBOSEP M2 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware Implementation of Higher Throughput Anti-Collision Algorithm for Radio Frequency Identification SystemJahariah Sampe, Masuri OthmanThis paper presents a proposed hardware implementation of Higher Throughput Anti-Collision Algorithm (HTACA) for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system. Our proposed HTACA combines a pipeline and a deterministic anti-collision technique in order to enhance its performances. These downlink and uplink operations are concurrently executed during the identification process. The downlink operation is purposely pre-selected a group of tags base on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVolatility in Malaysian Stock Market: An Empirical Study Using Fractionally Integrated ApproachChin Wen CheongThis study explores the fractionally integrated (FI) time series analysis in Malaysian stock market. Four proxies of latent volatility, namely the absolute return, squared return and range-based (Parkinson and Garman and Klass) volatilities are selected for the empirical studies. In addition, the well-known FI autoregressive conditional variance (ARCH) type model is also taken into account for comparison purposes. Our empirical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing P300 Component by Spectral Power Ratio Principal Components for a Single Trial Brain-Computer InterfaceS. Andrews, Ramaswamy Palaniappan, Andrew Teoh, Loo chu KiongHere we present a novel approach to detect P300 wave in single trial Visual Event Related Potential (VERP) signals using improved principal component analysis to enable a faster brain-computer interface (BCI) design. In the process, the principal components (PCs) are selected using novel methods, namely spectral power ratio (SPR) and sandwich spectral power ratio (SSPR). We set out to assess … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,881 accessesView PDFCite
