Abductive formalism for two-dimensional object recognition
(1993)This paper presents an abductive formalism for interpreting images of multi-object scenes in terms of objects expected in the scenes. The inferencing scheme provides a mechanism for integrating relational feature-based ... -
Abrasive wear performance of various polyamides
(2002)Polyamides (PAs) form a major class of tribo-polymers used in almost all types of wear situations. They excel most of the engineering polymers especially in the case of abrasive wear performance. Since methylene (---CH2---) ... -
Absorption-based fiber optic surface plasmon resonance sensor: a theoretical evaluation
(2004)In this paper, an optical absorption based fiber optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor has been studied theoretically. The theoretical treatment is based on Kretschmann’s SPR theory and the Lorentz model that expresses ... -
Accurate solutions to Schrodinger's equation using modified Airy functions
(1992)A formulation that utilizes the Airy functions is applied to Schrodinger's equation for a spherically symmetric potential. It is shown that the computational procedure is very simple and allows a very accurate description ... -
Acoustic emission in dynamic compression and its relevance to tribology
(1995)In the present work an acoustic emission (AE) technique is used to detec: the initiation and propagation of short cracks in compressive cyclic loading. A mild steel surface was subjected to cyclic compressive stress of 100 ... -
Acoustic modes in a dusty plasma
(1998)The propagation of the dust ion acoustic and dust acoustic modes in a dusty plasma is studied. The effect of the coupling of the charge fluctuation on the dust particles to the modes is taken into account self-consistently. ... -
Active control of non-linearly coupled TLP response under wind and wave environments
(1999)This paper deals with an active control strategy to check the non-linearly coupled response of a tension leg platform (TLP), a deep water semi-submersible type compliant offshore structure moored by vertical taut- cables ... -
An active feedback block and its applications
(1971)The active feedback block considered in this correspondence consists of three identical single-pole amplifiers and a resistive network, and has a positive slope in the gain frequency characteristics over a certain frequency ... -
Active power filter with sliding mode control
(1997)The paper presents an active power filter (APF) to eliminate harmonics and to compensate reactive power and neutral current of three-phase four-wire symmetrical and unbalanced nonlinear loads. A set of three single-phase ... -
Active recognition through next view planning: a survey
(2004)3-D object recognition involves using image-computable features to identify 3-D object. A single view of a 3-D object may not contain sufficient features to recognize it unambiguously. One needs to plan different views ... -
Active solar distillation system—An investment alternative to a solar hot water system
(1994)The present analysis evaluates a collector assisted solar distillation system as an investment alternative to a solar hot water system. Techno-economic analysis is performed for both systems in the same economic environment ... -
Adaptive automatic generation control with superconducting magnetic energy storage in power systems
(1992)An improved automatic generation control (AGC) system employing self-tuning adaptive control for the main AGC loop and the superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES) is presented. Computer simulations on a ... -
Adaptive computation of impact force under low velocity impact
(1999)A simple and computationally efficient adaptive finite element analysis strategy has been adopted for accurate and reliable evaluation of contact force under low velocity impact. Contact of a spherical and cylindrical ... -
Adaptive conventional power system stabilizer based on artificial neural network
(IEEE, 1996-01)This paper deals with an artificial neural network (ANN) based adaptive conventional power system stabilizer (PSS). The ANN comprises an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. The input vector to the ANN comprises ... -
Adaptive power system stabiliser based on pole-shifting technique
(1996)The design of a self-tuning power system stabiliser (PSS) using the pole-shifting technique is presented. The controller uses a state-feedback law, whose gains are evaluated from the pole-shifting factor. The proposed ... -
Adaptive routing in k-ary n-cubes using incomplete diagnostic information
(1997)In this paper, we present a fault-tolerant routing algorithm for k-ary n-cube interconnection networks which have become increasingly popular for the construction of massively parallel computers. The k-ary n-cube is a ... -
Adaptive stick-slip friction compensation using dynamic fuzzy logic system
(2003)A dynamic fuzzy logic based adaptive algorithm is proposed for reducing the effect of stick slip friction present in 1-DOF (one degree of freedom) mechanical mass system. The control scheme proposed is an online identification ... -
Adhesion enhancement of diamond coatings on WC tools by high energy ion irradiation
(1998)Microcrystalline diamond thin films were deposited on cemented tungsten carbide cutting tools by hot-filament chemical vapour deposition process. The coatings deposited were irradiated with 50 MeV Si7q ions upto a dose of ... -
Adhesives and plastics based on soy protein products
