A new breed of single core processor has recently emerged: the DSP/RISC (not to be confused with the dual core DSP 1 RISC single chip architecture). The main advantage of a DSP/RISC processor, combining DSP and control functions, lies in avoiding the need for communication between processors,[r]
The complete process of reconfiguration is shown in Figure 12.10. In the initial state, we assume no module is loaded in the reconfigured region. Next, a reconfigurable module is loaded into the FPGA through the ICAP device driver. Next, meta-information about the reconfigurable module is sen[r]
that as the tolerances/limits become tighter the cost of manufacturing the part increases. In addition, these features must be checked to ensure that they conform to the specifications in the engineering drawing. This usually falls under the general heading of quality[r]
1 Introduction Fuzzy set theory has been studied extensively over the past 30 years. Most of the early interest in fuzzy set theory pertained to representing uncertainty in human cognitive processes (see for example Zadeh (1965)). Fuzzy set theory is now applied to problems in engineering[r]
where r is the radial coordinate, h is the film thickness, p is the pressure, p is the viscosity, co is the angular velocity and O is the angular coordinate. Fluid film models for seals do not allow for the dynamic misalignment and other motions that are characteristic of al[r]
This chapter introduces the basic principles and processes of interface design and discusses how to design the interface structure and standards, navigation design, input design, and output design. The chapter also describes the affect of the nonfunctional requirements on designing the human-compute[r]
Patents are awarded to and issued in the name(s) of the inventor(s). However, if the work has been done as part of employment, the rights of the patent generally rest with the company that employed the inventor(s). A patent gives the right to the patentee to prevent other companies or individuals[r]
We suggest a mathematical optimization process based on the mean value engine model to minimize the total pollutants production and emissions over dynamic courses without deteriorating the engine performance. We used the opacity as a pollution criterion, this choice was strictly limited du[r]
CHOOSING CONTROLLED VARIABLES “What do you really want to control” is a question that instrument engineers often ask after scanning the flow sheet of a new process. True, in the majority of operations, the answer will be self-evident, but for many, this is not so. Consider a distilla[r]

As Chapter 21 points out, a server that uses only one protocol port can accept connec- tions from many clients because TCP uses both endpoints to identify a connection. The question arises, "When the control processes create a new TCP connection for a given data transfer,[r]
