The Columbia River Gillnetter is the pilot of the Lower Columbia River commercial fishing industry, keeping fishermen and the public in touch with today's important issues.
Spreadsheet programming is ubiquitous in businesses today. Spreadsheets are frequently created by end users with little or no programming experience. Unfortunately spreadsheets often contain errors. For example, 54 field audits of spreadsheets showed that 91 % of the spreadsheets contained errors [ 15]. Our research is aimed at bringing the...
With the rapid development of Internet technology and popularity of Web solutions, the Internet has become a major means for collecting information. The Weatherlnfo system is conceived and developed to provide weather data for end users in tabular and graphic formats over the Internet. In order to make data retrieval...
Structure Query Language (SQL) is widely used to access data stored in relational database systems. Although a powerful and flexible language, SQL can also be complex and hard to learn. For most new SQL users, it's easy to write SQL statement by following SQL grammar and syntax rules, but it's...
Real time delivery of products is the context of stochastic demands and multiple vehicles is a difficult problem as it requires the joint investigation of the problems in inventory control and vehicle routing. We model this problem in the framework of Average reward Reinforcement Learning (ARL) and present experimental results...
The purpose of this report is to provide information on the adjustable-speed coupling system (ASCS) including: physical construction, principles of operation, application potential, and laboratory and field test results. In addition, comparison laboratory tests will be presented for conventional adjustable speed drives (ASDs). The ASCS has been tested at three...
Current approaches to presentation of mathematics (on paper or in electronic format have usability drawbacks that make learning and appreciation of mathematics challenging and often frustrating. In a framework of a big research project of identifying new approaches to communicating mathematical ideas in a highly usable and effective manner, we...
Interoperability is the ability to enable different systems to work together and exchange data. Interoperability between different systems is achieved by using common standards and specifications. This paper talks about our research work on interoperability in Calendaring and Scheduling. There are many calendaring and scheduling software products on the market...
A video server is the multimedia equivalent of a data file server. As video goes digital video servers that support digital media are required for production and broadcasting in television companies. Grass Valley Group provides comprehensive digital video solutions through a range of video servers called Profiles.
The Profile Media...
Abstract: In this project, our goal is to design a flipping algorithm for computing the Voronoi diagram of simple polygons. As preparation towards designing a flipping algorithm, we re-implemented the ear cutting algorithm of using a standard geometric library COAL. This new Implementation is compatible with COAL, We have designed...
The OSU Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF), co-directed by the Principal Investigators (PI's, bios included), is an Energy Systems Laboratory with operating capabilities up to 750kV A, testbeds up to 300hp, a 120kVA fully programmable source, and a bi-directional grid interface enabling regeneration back onto the grid. The MSRF was...
A preproduction prototype of the MagnaGuard Coupling, model 12.5, has been tested to evaluate its performance. The coupling was tested in both deceleration and acceleration modes, to evaluate its capability to disengage jammed or stalled loads and to provide soft-start, respectively. The unit was evaluated at three different airgap settings...
This paper presents an overview of cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). The technology of cogeneration is described and the three primary cogeneration processes are discussed. The transition between parallel operation with the utility and stand-alone operation is discussed. The tradeoff between a synchronous and an induction...
