A new method of preform design in hot forging by using electric field theory

The preform design in metal forging plays a key role in improving product quality, such as ensuring defect-free property and proper metal flow. In industry, preforms are generally designed by the iterative trial-and-error approach. This approach, however, leads not only to the increase of significant tool cost but also to the extended down-time of the production equipment. It is thus necessary to reduce time and man power through an effective method of preform design. In this paper, the equi-potential lines designed in the electric field are introduced to find an appropriate preform shape. The equi-potential lines generated between two conductors of different voltages show similar trends for the minimum work paths between the undeformed shape and the deformed shape. Based on this similarity, the equi-potential lines obtained by the arrangement of the initial and final shapes are utilized for the design of the preform, and then the artificial neural network is used to find the range of initial volume and potential value of the electric field.

Electromagnetic interference mitigation by using a spread-spectrumapproach

We investigate a new technique, referred to as spread-spectrum clock generation (SSCG), for reducing the level of radiated emission from devices with digital clock signals. To calculate the radiated emissions from such devices, we model the radiating geometry and compute the radiated field at a multitude of frequencies by using NEC-4, which is an electromagnetic field solver based on the method of moments (MoM). We consider a variety of modulating profiles for the spread spectrum clock and demonstrate that by using a frequency deviation of only 1%, we can achieve from 10 to 30 dB reduction in the radiated emission levels     

Dynamic sectorization of microcells for balanced traffic in CDMA:genetic algorithms approach

With the increase of cellular users, traffic hot spots and unbalanced call distributions are common in wireless networks. As a solution to this problem, code-division multiple-access techniques enable a base transceiver station to connect microcells with optical fibers and to control the channels by sectorizing the microcells. To solve the load balancing among microcells, we dynamically sectorize the microcells depending on the time-varying traffic. The microcell sectorization problem is formulated as an integer linear programming that minimizes the blocked and handoff calls in the network. In the proposed sectorization, proper, connected, and compact sectors are considered to keep the handoffs as small as possible while satisfying the channel capacity at each sector. Three genetic algorithms (GAs) are proposed to solve the problem: standard GA, grouping GA, and parallel GA. Computational results show that the proposed GAs are highly effective. All three GAs illustrate outstanding performance for small size problems. The parallel GA, which is based on the operators used in grouping GA, demonstrates excellent solution quality in a reasonable time

Rate-driven key frame selection using temporal variation of visualcontent

A simple and fast method to select the assigned number of key frames in a video shot is presented. The algorithm selects the key frames so that the temporal variation of visual content within a video shot is equally distributed to each key frame. Simulation results on a real video sequence are shown to be in agreement with the human visual perception

Fluidised pellet bed bioreactor: a promising technology for onsite wastewater treatment and reuse.

A pilot-scale fluidised pellet bed (FPB) bioreactor, which combines chemical coagulation, biological degradation, particle pelletisation and separation in one unit, was applied for onsite wastewater treatment and reuse. As a result of rational use of inorganic coagulant and organic polymer and moderate mechanical agitation, spherical particles were generated in the upflow column and a well-fluidised bed was formed. With a continuous supply of dissolved oxygen through a recycling loop, an aerobic condition was kept in the bottom section of the FPB column. Under such conditions the pellets in the FPB column showed the following characteristics: (1) compact structure and high density; (2) rich in microorganisms; and (3) high MLSS and MLVSS concentrations. Therefore, the FPB bioreactor achieved more than 90% removal of SS, COD, BOD and TP from raw domestic wastewater within a total hydraulic retention time (HRT) of only about 30 minutes. It also showed nitrification and denitrification ability and the TN removal could be about 50% as the recycling ratio was increased to 1:1. The treated water quality is generally competitive with the secondary effluent from a conventional activated sludge process. With these advantages the FPB bioreactor is recommendable as a compact system for onsite wastewater treatment and reuse.
