Powder injection molding (PIM) is a net fabrication technique that combines the complex shape-forming ability of plastic injection molding, the precision of die-casting, and the material selection flexibility of powder ...

With continued development of the electronic industry, the demand for highly efficient heat removal solutions requires innovative cooling technologies. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study, including heat transfer, ...

Several 316 stainless steel meso-scopic devices were made using a diffusion soldering process. Tensile strength and pressure drop of the devices were measured and metallurgical examinations were made of the joints. Con ...

The Oregon State University (OSU) Radiation Center (RC) is the location of a one quarter scale model of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation advanced light-water nuclear reactor design called the AP-600. The full scal ...

In this work we present a multiagent Fleet Coordination Problem (FCP). In this formulation, agents seek to minimize the fuel consumed to complete all deliveries while maintaining acceptable on-time delivery performance. ...

A significant number of aircraft incidents and accidents have been caused, in part, by flightcrew failure to properly manage cockpit activities, such as failure to initiate activities at the appropriate time, mispriori ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, there has been a push to create miniature devices. These devices were initially integrated circuit (IC) devices to perform calculations for computers. As the technology progressed, t ...

This research was motivated by the use of multi-track feeders in the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. In a low volume, high mix production environment, setup time is usually considered more important than processi ...

A computational model for a resonantly coupled alpha free-piston Stirling cooler is presented. The cooler consists of two isothermal working spaces for compression and expansion connected by a regenerator consisting of ...

The determination of the optimal location of transceivers is a critical design factor when deploying a wireless local area network (WLAN). The performance of the WLAN will improve in a variety of aspects when the trans ...
