Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClassical Flexible Lip Model Based Relative Weight Finder for Better Lip Reading Utilizing Multi Aspect Lip GeometryB. Sujatha, T. SanthanamProblem statement: Deaf and dumb needs assistance from a technical box that takes movements of lips to identify the words. This technical article provided appropriate model implementation of flexible lip model for better visual lip reading system. Approach: From the frame sequence of words, Active Shape Model (ASM) based lip model provided local tracking and extraction of geometric lip-feature. Two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Jul 2010 · 7,125 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPreliminary Experimental and Finite-Element Numerical Assessment of the Structural Performance of SMA-Reinforced GFRP SystemsFilipe Amarante dos Santos, Chiara BedonIn this study, the feasibility and potentiality of a novel design concept is explored by means of small scale experimental tests and Finite-Element numerical simulation. Taking advantage of the intrinsic potentiality of Shape-Memory Alloys wires able to work as adaptive actuators when subjected to joule heating, a 'smart-GFRP' concept consisting in Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer (GFRP) structural members with a SMA reinforcement is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,289 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Electrical Energy Consumption of Some Areas Supplied by the Lomé a Interconnection Station of the CEET in Lomé, Togo: Analysis and DiscussionKrou Iparbè, Palanga Eyouléki Tcheyi Gnadi et al.This study aims to analyze the electricity consumption of Greater Lomé (Togo), a critical issue in view of the increasing needs and imperatives of energy transition. We used 63,943 data samples from the Togo Electric Energy Company (CEET), covering eight sites spread across three municipalities over a period of 84 months (2018-2024). A multidimensional statistical approach was used to evaluate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2026 · 3,384 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of Bipolar Plate for 500w Pem Fuel Cell StackA. Kalaiyarasan, C. Srinivasan, S. SundaramThe PEM Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance depends on the operating parameters like temperature, pressure, stoichiometric ratio of reactants, relative humidity, back pressure on anode and cathode flow channels, and the design parameters like rib width to channel width (L:C), channel depth, shape of the flow channel and number of pass on the flow channel. The voltage and power produced by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2018 · 7,895 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProblems of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic RaysAnna V. UrysonCosmic rays are energetic particles coming to the Earth from space. They bombard the atmosphere producing cascades of particles that spread over a large area when they reach the ground. Cosmic ray energies vary in the wide band from about 108 eV up to few 1020 eV. It is established that most particles with energies of ~ (108-109) eV come … …Space Science International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2014 · 13,854 accessesView PDF Cite
