ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING - A HIGH FUTURE NONCONVENTIONAL PROCESSING PROCESS

2021

Electrical discharge machining is one of the most common processes for processing metallic materials. This process is characterized by the lack of mechanical pressure on the object that ensures the macroscopic location of the erosive agent. This scientific paper highlights a study based on experimental data processing as well as modeling the most important technological parameters for dimensional processing by electrical discharge machining with and without magnetic activation. In this context, the modeling and optimization of process parameters is approached, which can lead to the quality increasing of the processed surface, to an increase of the processing productivity and to a reduction …

Kobieca strona dyskursu onkologicznego. Empiryczne spojrzenie na demokratyzację wiedzy medycznej

2015

Artykuł poprzez osadzanie w teoretycznych ramach konstruktywizmu wpisuje chorobę nowotworową piersi w kategorię dyskursu. Takie podejście wymaga zadania pytań o depozytariuszy wiedzy medycznej oraz jej źródła, formy i sposoby dystrybucji. Nie chodzi tu o negację istnienia określonych jednostek chorobowych, lecz raczej zwrócenie uwagi na złożone powiązania pomiędzy wiedzą medyczną a światem społecznym. Klarowny obraz obiektywnej wiedzy zaczyna tracić jednoznaczne kontury, gdy zestawi się alternatywne reprezentacje językowe w odmienny sposób porządkujące i interpretujące doświadczenia związane ze zdrowiem i chorobą. Na płaszczyźnie empirycznej analiza opiera się na wynikach badań ilościowych,…

Novel qutrit circuit design for multiplexer, De-multiplexer, and decoder

2022

AbstractDesigning conventional circuits present many challenges, including minimizing internal power dissipation. An approach to overcoming this problem is utilizing quantum technology, which has attracted significant attention as an alternative to Nanoscale CMOS technology. The reduction of energy dissipation makes quantum circuits an up-and-coming emerging technology. Ternary logic can potentially diminish the quantum circuit width, which is currently a limitation in quantum technologies. Using qutrit instead of qubit could play an essential role in the future of quantum computing. First, we propose two approaches for quantum ternary decoder circuit in this context. Then, we propose a qua…

High Bias Voltage CZT Detectors for High-flux Measurements

2017

In this work, we present the performance of new travelling heater method (THM) grown CZT detectors, recently developed at IMEM-CNR Parma, Italy. Thick planar detectors (3 mm thick) with gold electroless contacts on CZT crystals grown by Redlen Technologies (Victoria BC, Canada) were realized, with a planar cathode covering the detector surface (4.1 x 4.1 mm(2)) and a central anode (2 x 2 mm(2)) surrounded by a guard ring electrode. The detectors, characterized by low leakage currents at room temperature (4.7 nA/cm(2) at 1000 V/cm), allow good room temperature operation even at high bias voltages (> 7000 V/cm). At low rates, the detectors exhibit an energy resolution around 4 % FWIEM at 59.5…

Generalized wave propagation problems and discrete exterior calculus

2018

We introduce a general class of second-order boundary value problems unifying application areas such as acoustics, electromagnetism, elastodynamics, quantum mechanics, and so on, into a single framework. This also enables us to solve wave propagation problems very efficiently with a single software system. The solution method precisely follows the conservation laws in finite-dimensional systems, whereas the constitutive relations are imposed approximately. We employ discrete exterior calculus for the spatial discretization, use natural crystal structures for three-dimensional meshing, and derive a “discrete Hodge” adapted to harmonic wave. The numerical experiments indicate that the cumulat…

An Automatic Ontology-Based Approach to Support Logical Representation of Observable and Measurable Data for Healthy Lifestyle Management: Proof-of-C…

2020

Background Lifestyle diseases, because of adverse health behavior, are the foremost cause of death worldwide. An eCoach system may encourage individuals to lead a healthy lifestyle with early health risk prediction, personalized recommendation generation, and goal evaluation. Such an eCoach system needs to collect and transform distributed heterogenous health and wellness data into meaningful information to train an artificially intelligent health risk prediction model. However, it may produce a data compatibility dilemma. Our proposed eHealth ontology can increase interoperability between different heterogeneous networks, provide situation awareness, help in data integration, and discover…

Active disturbance rejection control of linear induction motor

2017

This paper proposes the theoretical framework and the experimental application of the active disturbance rejection control to linear induction motors. Such a nonlinear control (ADRC) technique can be viewed as a particular kind of input-output linearization control, where the nonlinear transformation of the state is not computed by means of the model, but it is estimated online. Such an approach permits to cope with unmodelling dynamics, as well as uncertainty in the knowledge of the model parameters and exogenous disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed ADRC control law has been verified both by numerical simulations and experimentally on a suitably developed test setup. Moreover, t…

Fault diagnosis of induction motors broken rotor bars by pattern recognition based on noise cancelation

2014

Current signal monitoring (CSM) can be used as an effective tool for diagnosing broken rotor bars fault in induction motors. In this paper, fault diagnosis and classification based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) is done in two stages. In the first stage, a filter is designed to remove irrelevant fault components (such as noise) of current signals. The coefficients of the filter are obtained by least square (LS) algorithm. Then by extracting suitable time domain features from filter's output, a neural network is trained for fault classification. The output vector of this network is represented in one of four categories that includes healthy mode, a 5 mm crack on a bar, one broken bar, …
