  • MicroSoar : a high speed microstructure profiling system

    Creator:
    May, Glenn H.
    Abstract:
    As ocean ecosystems continue to deteriorate in the face of human induced pressures, marine management professionals are increasingly being urged to predict the impacts of various activities on ocean ecosystems. Many ecosystem interactions are still not adequately understood, so managers often turn to scientists to provide data and analysis on...

  • A sampling criterion enabling signal reconstruction with specified limit error

    Creator:
    Wilkins, Dennis James
    Abstract:
    A sampling criterion which provides a numerical relationship between sampling rate and worst-case peak error for linear interpolation of sample points is presented. The criterion, based upon the second derivative of a waveform, is derived, its properties are observed for a sine wave, and its applicability to complex signals is...

  • The evaluation of data file access methods for an on-line information system

    Creator:
    Meesajjee, Chulit
    Abstract:
    It is necessary to evaluate and compare the characteristics of various methods of accessing data-files in order to utilize economically both the hardware and the software (Space and Time) supported by the digital on-line system. The purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate the structure and use of...

  • Development of a real-time digital computing facility in chemical engineering

    Creator:
    Fukui, Stanley Chikashi
    Abstract:
    An advanced laboratory interfacing capability was developed for the Real-Time Digital Computer Laboratory in the Chemical Engineering Department. A stationary interfacing unit located beside the computer mainframe and two small remote units were designed, developed and thoroughly tested. These interfacing units permit experiments with a wide variety of analog and...

  • A schemata model of real-time information processing systems

    Creator:
    Szulewski, Paul A.
    Abstract:
    In an attempt to provide a practical means to measure the information processing capacity of a real-time digital processing system a theoretical framework, the Real-Time Schemata, whose basis is a schematic description and a measure of "useful information," is presented. The description applies to processes that would typically be implemented...

  • SES: a real time message oriented system for easy intertask communication

    Creator:
    Saedi-Faez, Sheida
    Abstract:
    In process control systems where an entire process is being controlled by a computer, the component tasks of the system have to be monitored. An efficient message oriented environment could be an important factor in the optimization of such systems. In this paper we discuss the design of a real...

  • Computer aided tolerance analysis and process selection for AutoCAD

    Creator:
    Pamulapati, Sairam V.
    Abstract:
    The fundamental objective of a design engineer in performing tolerance technology is to transform functional requirements into tolerances on individual parts based on existing data and algorithms for design tolerance analysis and synthesis. The transformation of functional requirements into tolerances must also consider the existing process capabilities and manufacturing costs...

  • Evaluation of finite element techniques for soil reinforcement applications

    Creator:
    Berg, Ryan Robert
    Abstract:
    A literature review and a computer study are conducted to identify the requirements of finite element programs for the specific use of discrete analyses of reinforced soil structures. The utility of six commercially available programs are appraised with respect to the identified requirements. The results of the study are directed...

  • An efficient methodology for scheduling general flexible manufacturing systems

    Creator:
    Sonthinen, Adulwit
    Abstract:
    Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) have evolved rapidly over the last decade. One important factor that influences the performance of FMS is scheduling. Scheduling in an FMS differs from that in a conventional job-shop because each operation of a job may be performed by any one of several machines. Most studies...

  • Assessing groundwater vulnerability to contamination using finite element modeling and geographic information systems

    Creator:
    Rea, Alan H.
    Abstract:
    A method was developed for assessing the vulnerability of groundwater to contamination from contaminant sources at the soil surface, using a numerical groundwater flow model linked to a digital map database. The method was applied using the pcARC/INFO Geographic Information System (GIS) to input, store, and manipulate base maps, resulting...
