Surface integrity characterization of manufactured component is very important as it significantly affects the in-service performance of the component. Till now, surface integrity was evaluated using conventional measurement technique like microhardness tester, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and surface roughness tester. But, this technique being laboratory based cannot be used for in-service monitoring of the surface integrity. The present study focuses on the characterization of surface integrity upon electric discharge machined sample using non-destructive magnetic Barkhausen noise technique. Electric discharge machining was performed in die-sinking mode on die steel using copper–tungsten electrode (negative polarity). Experiment was performed by selecting different levels of peak current, gap voltage and pulse on time. Surface integrity characteristics like microhardness change, residual stress, microstructural alteration and surface roughness were analysed using microhardness tester, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and surface roughness tester, respectively, and were then correlated with magnetic parameter like root mean square value and peak value obtained from Barkhausen noise signal. The results show a good correlation between magnetic parameter (RMS and Peak value) of Barkhausen noise with the microhardness and surface roughness of the machined sample.
We investigate the challenges of building an end-to-end cloud pipeline for real-time intelligent visual inspection system for use in automotive manufacturing. Current methods of visual detection in automotive assembly are highly labor intensive, and thus prone to errors. An automated process is sought that can operate within the real-time constraints of the assembly line and can reduce errors. Components of the cloud pipeline include capture of a large set of high-definition images from a camera setup at the assembly location, transfer and storage of the images as needed, execution of object detection, and notification to a human operator when a fault is detected. The end-to-end execution must complete within a fixed time frame before the next car arrives in the assembly line. In this article, we report the design, development, and experimental evaluation of the tradeoffs of performance, accuracy, and scalability for a cloud system. 相似文献
The technology to produce compatibilized blends of liquid crystalline polymer and highly amorphous cyclic olefin copolymers through two novel approaches were studied. The first approach was to use silane-functionalized halloysite nanotube as nonspecific compatibilizer and the second method was reactive compatibilization. The study of blends and their resulting microstructure; their thermal, mechanical, and viscoelastic properties were investigated. The kinetic study of blends compatibilized through both routes was performed. 相似文献
The quality of analgesia, patient satisfaction and incidence of side effects following a single bolus of epidural morphine were compared with patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with meperidine during the first 24 hr after elective Caesarean section. Seventy-five women were randomly assigned to three equal groups. Group I received 30 mg epidural meperidine after delivery and PCEA with meperidine; Group 2 received 3 mg epidural morphine after delivery and PCEA with saline in a double-blind fashion. Group 3 received 3 mg epidural morphine after delivery without saline PCEA. Visual analogue pain scores (VAS) were higher with PCEA meperidine from 8-16 hr post-operatively (P < 0.05) than in both epidural morphine groups. Two patients in Group 1 and one in Group 3 required supplemental parental analgesia. The incidence of nausea was 16% in Group 1, compared with 52% in Group 2 and 56% in Group 3 (P < 0.01). Pruritus occurred in 24% of Group 1 patients, 84% of patients in Group 2 and 68% of patients in Group 3 (P < 0.001). Forty-six percent of patients in Group 1 were very satisfied with pain management, compared with 77% in Group 2 and 79% in Group 3. Nurse workload was higher in the PCEA study groups than in Group 3 (P < 0.05). A single bolus of epidural morphine provides superior analgesia and satisfaction at low cost, but with a higher incidence of nausea and pruritus than PCEA with meperidine. 相似文献
Of late, there has been an avalanche of cross-layer design proposals for wireless networks. A number of researchers have looked at specific aspects of network performance and, approaching cross-layer design via their interpretation of what it implies, have presented several cross-layer design proposals. These proposals involve different layers of the protocol stack, and address both cellular and ad hoc networks. There has also been work relating to the implementation of cross-layer interactions. It is high time that these various individual efforts be put into perspective and a more holistic view be taken. In this article, we take a step in that direction by presenting a survey of the literature in the area of cross-layer design, and by taking stock of the ongoing work. We suggest a definition for cross-layer design, discuss the basic types of cross-layer design with examples drawn from the literature, and categorize the initial proposals on how cross-layer interactions may be implemented. We then highlight some open challenges and new opportunities for cross-layer design. Designers presenting cross-layer design proposals can start addressing these as they move ahead. 相似文献
