1.1 This specification covers wrought carbon steel sleeve type pipe couplings suitable for joining carbon steel pipes.

1.2 Type I couplings are intended for use on all schedules of pipe where the pipe wall thickness does not exceed the wall thickness of standard weight pipe. Type II coupl...

A type of digital chaotic encryption system was proposed in Ref. [1] which uses a class of 1-D piecewise linear (PWL) map to realize chaotic encryption and decryption system through the inverse system approach. In the general structure of encryption system, a dynamical system ∑(.) is used to ...

Performance of Turbo-Codes in communication channels with impulsive noise is analyzed. First, mathematical model of impulsive noise is presented because it has non-Gaussian nature and is found in many wireless channels due to impulsive phenomena of radio-frequency interference. Then, with linear Log...

To combat packet loss and realize robust video transmission over Internet and wireless networks, a new multiple description (MD) video coding method is proposed. In the method, two descriptions for each video frame is first created by group of blocks (GOB) alternation. Motion information is then dup...

Energy saving is the most important issue in research and development for wireless sensor networks. A power control mechanism can reduce the power consumption of the whole network. Because the character of wireless sensor networks is restrictive energy, this paper proposes a distributed power contro...
