Integrating a Geographic Information System (GIS) with an expert system can overcome the deficiencies of each system. This paper illustrates the integration of a GIS with an expert system in order to find the suitability ...

There is a growing acceptance that general purpose parallel computing requires the use of a scalable shared memory environment. The Cray T3D, IBM SP2 and Intel Paragon message passing machines support a scalable interconnect ...

Mold level variations in continuous casting are believed to be the main cause of surface defects in the final product. Although a PID controller is well capable of controlling the level under normal conditions, it cannot ...

An active power filter with dynamic control method is used for harmonic elimination and power factor correction of an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). This new control technique is very suitable for suppressing harmonics of ...

A theoretical analysis of a multilayered ridged-circular patch microstrip antenna element excited by a rectangular slot using the cavity model together with an eigenvector expansion, is presented. The approach is based on ...

One popular learning algorithm for feedforward neural networks is the back-propagation (BP) algorithm which includes parameters: learning rate (), momentum factor (a) and steepness parameter (l). The appropriate selections ...

In this paper, simultaneous estimation of the rotor speed and time constant estimation for a voltage source inverter–fed induction motor drive is discussed. Application of the Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) on the ...
