With the development of CMOS and MEMS technologies, the implementation of a large number of wireless distributed micro-sensors that can be easily and rapidly deployed to form highly redundant, self-configuring, and ad hoc sensor networks. To facilitate ease of deployment, these sensors operate on ba...

Off-ramp area congestion and off-ramp queue spill over are wide-spread reasons for expressway traffic jams in China. A control strategy was developed to reduce the number of collisions between expressway and surface street vehicles and to reduce spill over by controlling the surface street vehicles ...

Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architectures are commonly used in application-specific domains due to their parallelism and low-power characteristics. Recently, parameterization of such architectures allows for runtime adaptation of the issue-width to match the inherent Instruction Level Parallel...

A hierarchical clustering model for a wireless sensor network (WSN) which takes into account the node fault and the balance of energy consumption is built. With the sensing and transmission as the main tasks of the WSN, its working mode is converted to a modular k-out-of-n system whose each modular ...

In this paper, three advanced flux-switching (FS) machines, namely the radial-field flux-switching permanent-magnet (RF-FSPM) machine, the radial-field flux-switching DC-field (RF-FSDC) machine, and the axial-field FSDC (AF-FSDC) machine are quantitatively compared. Upon the installation of the high...
