Abstract:
In this study, an ORC plant is considered that recovers the heat source from 1800 cc Diesel Engine exhaust gases. The power recovered by the ORC system could be used, as an auxiliary system, to provide energy to the electronic parts of the car. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of allocating this ORC plant into a vehicle and in the design of the condenser, with the purpose of reaching the best configurations that lead to low-pressure drop and compact dimensions. The Organic Rankine Cycle converts thermal energy from low-grade heat sources into electricity. The thermodynamic cycles to produce 5 kW were simulated using a custom software application. The basic cycle was chosen to guarantee the most compact configurations. The selected thermodynamic parameters are based on the need to cope with atmospheric conditions. The working fluid chosen is R245fa, due to its thermodynamic characteristics. Since the electrical part would be partially satisfied by this system, the entire power of the thermal engine would be dedicated to mechanical use. It could also be assumed that, as a consequence of the settings of this plant, a reduction in fuel consumption could be expected, which, although at a percentage that cannot be theoretically evaluated at the moment, is nevertheless predictable. In this first stage of the evaluation, the condenser design is presented and analyzed.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of electronic manufacturing industry, printed Circuit Board (PCB) is the core hub of electronic products, and its quality inspection plays a decisive role in ensuring the performance and reliability of products. In order to overcome the shortcomings of weak interactivity and low visualization of traditional PCB board defect detection methods, this study designed a highly interactive and intuitive PCB board defect detection system based on YOLOv5 with the help of PyQt toolkit. The system has a UI with complete functions and stable performance, which includes three functional modules: model selection, image input and detection result display. The system can not only accurately identify PCB short circuit, open circuit and other defects, but also accurately mark the location in a visual way on the inspection image, and enumerate the types of defects in detail, which greatly improves the readability and understandability of the inspection results. The UI designed in this study provides an intuitive and efficient operation platform for PCB board defect detection work, which is expected to promote the innovation and development of quality detection technology in the electronic manufacturing industry.

Abstract:
On-Board Training System (OBTS), which binds the simulator training with real equipment training and use of simulation technology, embedded simulation training into platform of real weapons, using real weapons system for high-fidelity training. OBTS can be used for training purposes to individual, department and whole ship while it is in port, under sail or in active service without disturbing its mission. This paper first introduces the principle of OBTS, and summarizes the status of the development of domestic and international on-board training system. Based on the training scale of system, OBTS is divided into three levels. Related technologies to achieve OBTS are analyzed. Navy's training system is shifted from the shore-based to on-board and from a single system to the level of cooperative training. Thus, the development of OBTS, and by the top-level design, introducing the design of OBTS in warship design phase has a very real sense to Navy.

Abstract:
This thesis is, on behalf of Saab AB, a pre-study of possible on-board solutions for position measuring during store separation tests aimed for the test and evaluation of JAS 39 Gripen. The purpose is to replace the present ground-based system in order to achieve more effective trials regarding time and economy. Three different concept development methodologies were investigated in order to find the most suitable one for this thesis. Those were merged into one adapted methodology containing the following phases; \textit{Planning}, \textit{Function Analysis}, \textit{Concept Generation} and \textit{Concept Evaluation}. The work progressed as the methodology states, and the highest amount of work was dedicated to the Planning phase. The requirements and desiderata for the system were produced with an agile process, resulting in the Construction Specification List that eventually became the basis for the Concept Generation phase. Knowledge about the technical theory needed to solve the problem was obtained in parallel with the Function Analysis and Concept Generation. The most adaptable techniques to measure position were found out to be with the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) or Inertial Navigation System (INS). After an extensive work with the Concept Generation in parallel with a continuously updated Construction Specification List, three concepts were developed. One concept is based on GPS, the second one on INS and the third one is a combination of GPS and INS. All three concepts shares the same telemetry system and casing, which fulfills the requirement of simple installation and possibility to install in different stores. In the final phase, Concept Evaluation, a comparison between the concepts was performed. Advantages and disadvantages was listed and the fulfillment of requirements was investigated. All three concepts were handed over to Saab in order to let them decide which concept(s) to further develop.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California<br>Spacecraft on-board time keeping, to an accuracy better than 1 millisecond, is a requirement for many satellite missions. Scientific satellites must precisely "time tag" their data to allow it to be correlated with data produced by a network of ground and space based observatories. Multiple vehicle satellite missions, and satellite networks, sometimes require several spacecraft to execute tasks in time phased fashion with respect to absolute time. In all cases, mission systems designed to provide a high accuracy on-board clock must necessarily include mechanisms for the determination and correction of spacecraft clock error. In addition, an approach to on-orbit verification of these mechanisms may be required. Achieving this accuracy however need not introduce significant mission cost if the task of maintaining this accuracy is appropriately distributed across both the space and ground mission segments. This paper presents the mission systems approaches taken by two spacecraft programs to provide high accuracy on-board spacecraft clocks at minimum cost. The first, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's (GSFC) Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) program demonstrated the ability to use the NASA Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) mission environment to maintain an on-board spacecraft clock to within 100 microseconds of Naval Observatory Standard (NOS) Time. The second approach utilizes an on-board spacecraft Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver as a time reference for spacecraft clock tracking which is facilitated through the use of Fairchild's Telemetry and Command Processor (TCP) spacecraft Command & Data Handling Subsystem Unit. This approach was designed for a future Shuttle mission requiring the precise coordination of events among multiple space-vehicles.

Abstract:
The dissertation starts by providing a description of the phenomena related to the increasing importance recently acquired by satellite applications. The spread of such technology comes with implications, such as an increase in maintenance cost, from which derives the interest in developing advanced techniques that favor an augmented autonomy of spacecrafts in health monitoring. Machine learning techniques are widely employed to lay a foundation for effective systems specialized in fault detection by examining telemetry data. Telemetry consists of a considerable amount of information; therefore, the adopted algorithms must be able to handle multivariate data while facing the limitations imposed by on-board hardware features. In the framework of outlier detection, the dissertation addresses the topic of unsupervised machine learning methods. In the unsupervised scenario, lack of prior knowledge of the data behavior is assumed. In the specific, two models are brought to attention, namely Local Outlier Factor and One-Class Support Vector Machines. Their performances are compared in terms of both the achieved prediction accuracy and the equivalent computational cost. Both models are trained and tested upon the same sets of time series data in a variety of settings, finalized at gaining insights on the effect of the increase in dimensionality. The obtained results allow to claim that both models, combined with a proper tuning of their characteristic parameters, successfully comply with the role of outlier detectors in multivariate time series data. Nevertheless, under this specific context, Local Outlier Factor results to be outperforming One-Class SVM, in that it proves to be more stable over a wider range of input parameter values. This property is especially valuable in unsupervised learning since it suggests that the model is keen to adapting to unforeseen patterns.

Abstract:
The goal of this thesis is to design a coprocessor expansion board for an On Board Computer (OBC) using Commersial Off The Shelf (COTS) components. This is done in order to meet the increasing demand of more processing power as spacecrafts become more autonomous. After evaluating a number of different options, the LS1046A from ARM was chosen as the processing unit. This would increase the processing power from the current 110 Dhrystone Million Instructions Per Second (DMIPS) to a theoretical 22 560 DMIPS. The schematic was designed in DxDesigner, and after the layout was completed signal integrity simulations were performed in HyperLynx. After modifications to termination resistances, the simulations showed good signal integrity confirming proper routing of the signals. After receiving the manufactured Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with all components mounted, some tests could be performed confirming that the power distribution and the system clock was functioning properly.

Thesis (MEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Satellites are not all made equal. The large number of possible orbits, desired functionality and budget constraints are but a few of the factors that influence the design of a satellite. Given a particular set of design requirements, a number of designs may meet these requirements. Each of these designs will typically entail a trade-off between a number of (conflicting) parameters, whilst still satisfying the system requirements. The On-Board Computer (OBC) of a satellite, the satellite subsystem primarily responsible for the operational control of a satellite, can consequently be designed in any of a number of different ways. As the factors that influence the flight performance of an OBC differs to those of a terrestrial computer, the OBC design will therefore be significantly different. A high-level overview of the factors that impact OBC design and operation is presented. Improvements to the existing designs are proposed. In conclusion, a number of guidelines for a future OBC design also are given.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Elke satelliet het unieke eienskappe wat bepaal word deur onderandere, die teiken wentelbaan, verwagte funksionaliteit en koste oorweegings. Vir 'n spesefieke stelselontwerp bestaan daar 'n aantal moontlike ontwerpe wat aan die stelsel vereistes voldoen. Elk van hierdie ontwerpe sal tipies behels dat verskillende parameters teen mekaar afgespeel word, terwyl die stelsel vereistes steeds aan voldoen word. Die Aanboord Rekenaar (AR) van 'n satelliet, die satelliet substelsel hoofsaaklik verantwoordelik vir die beheer van die satelliet, kan vervolgens uit een van veele moontlike ontwerpe bestaan. Aangesien die faktore wat die werkverrigting van 'n AR beinvloed verskil van die van 'n rekenaar wat op die aard oppervlak gebruik word, sal die AR ontwerp dienooreenkomstig verskil. 'n Hoevlak oorsig van die faktore wat AR ontwerp beinvloed sal gegee word. Verbeteringe wat aan die huidige AR ontwerpe gedoen kan word sal bespreek word. Ter afsluiting sal 'n aantal riglyne vir toekomstige AR ontwerpe gegee word.

Abstract:
Future spacecrafts will require more computational and processing power to keep up with the growing demand in requirements and complexity. ScOSA is the next generation on-board computer developed by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). The main motivation behind ScOSA is to replace the conventional on-board computer with distributed and reconfigurable computing nodes which provides higher performance, reliability, availability and stability by using a combination of the COTS components and reliable computing processors that are space qualified. In the current ScOSA system reconfiguration and routing of data between nodes are based on a static decision graph. SpaceWire protocol is used to communicate between nodes to provide reliability. The focus of the thesis is to design and implement a dynamic routing protocol for ScOSA which can be used in future for not only communicating between the nodes but also for reconfiguration. SpaceWire IPC is a customized protocol developed by DLR to provide communication between the nodes in a distributed network and to support monitoring, management and reconfiguration services. The dynamic routing protocol proposed in this thesis is primarily derived from the monitoring mechanism used in the SpaceWire IPC. PULL type monitoring mechanism is modelled and simulated using OMNeT++. The results obtained provide a qualitative outlook of the dynamic routing protocol implemented.

Abstract:
When considering the main trends in the development of modern autonomous objects (aircraft, combat vehicles, motor vehicles, floating vehicles, agricultural machines, etc.) in recent decades, two key areas can be identified. The first direction is associated with the improvement of traditional designs of autonomous objects (AO) with an internal combustion engine (ICE) or a gas turbine engine (GTD). The second direction is connected with the creation of new types of joint-stock companies, namely electric joint-stock companies( EAO), joint-stock companies with combined power plants (AOKEU).&#x0D; The energy efficiency is largely determined by the power of the generator set and the battery, which is given to the electrical network in various driving modes.&#x0D; Most of the existing methods for calculating power supply systems use the average values of disturbing factors (generator speed, current of electric energy consumers, voltage in the on-board network) when choosing the characteristics of the generator set and the battery. At the same time, it is obvious that when operating a motor vehicle, these parameters change depending on the driving mode. Modern methods of selecting the main parameters and characteristics of the power supply system do not provide for modeling its interaction with the power unit start-up system of a motor vehicle in operation due to the lack of a systematic approach.&#x0D; The choice of a generator set and a battery, as well as the concept of the synthesis of the power supply system is a problem studied in the monograph.&#x0D; For all those interested in electrical engineering and electronics.

Abstract:
Abstract People with neuromuscular deficits may show balance issues that put them in a higher risk of fall as compared to healthy people. To reduce the risk of fall, balance-board (BB)-based rehabilitation intervention has been widely used. However, despite the extensive use of BB-based interventions, the mechanisms responsible for rehabilitation remain unclear. To better understand these mechanisms, several studies have used a system dynamics approach to investigate the effect of neuromuscular deficits (visual, vestibular, proprioceptive) and sensorimotor latencies on the stability and dynamical behavior of the human-BB system. Though, to the best knowledge of the authors, the effect of the BB mass on the stability and dynamics of the human-BB system has never been investigated. In the present study, bifurcation analyses, root finding techniques, and computational simulations are used to investigate the effect of the BB mass and BB time-delay on the stability, equilibrium, and robustness of the human-BB upright posture (UP) for cases where either proprioceptive or visual and vestibular deficits are considered. The results show that the BB mass and BB time-delay play a critical role on the UP stability, leaning postures, and robustness of the human-BB system. In fact, increasing BB mass reduces the range of neuromuscular gains that stabilize the system and shrinks the basin of attraction of the UP, which is related to the human-BB system’s robustness to posture disturbances. This effect is more evident in the case where visual and vestibular deficits are considered in simulation. This relationship may have implications on the design and development of BBs with tunable mass and tunable time-delay. The BB could be designed to tune time-delay and mass, so patients could be better challenged during BB-based intervention in a more patient-specific manner.

Full text
Abstract:
One of the most debated parts of the IDB-9 Agreement was the requirement that the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB or Bank) enhance its macroeconomic analysis and link it to its country programming to avoid lending in unsustainable macroeconomic situations. The IDB-9 Agreement mandated that the Chief Economist prepare annual Macroeconomic Sustainability Assessments for each borrowing country and that a positive judgment on sustainability is one of the prerequisites, among others, for maintaining the Bank's aggregate exposure with the country including both sovereign and non-sovereign operations. OVE finds that the MSA requirement has been substantially implemented but faces many difficulties that seriously impede its likely effectiveness. The quality of the MSAs, though reasonable given the resources allocated, lacks depth in many areas, particularly financial sustainability and inflation. More generally, there is no methodology that could reliably do what is expected: predict macroeconomic crises in the near term. There are few checks and balances in the system, and none relating to the Chief Economist's conclusion and determination of sustainability. The MSA process entails significant costs for the Bank, including in country relations and IDB Board cohesion and collaboration. Though the MSA process has the potential to further the underlying IDB-9 goal of preventing lending in unsustainable macroeconomic situations, the process will not achieve the broader objective of stopping increases in Bank exposure for the foreseeable future: existing IDB disbursement and repayment schedules will lead to increasing exposure in almost all borrowing countries in the coming 5-10 years. OVE suggests that the Governors, the Board, and Management reconsider the design of the MSA process to align benefits and costs more closely. A useful way to think about changes is to "unbundle" the two rationales for MSAs -limiting IDB's credit risk and promoting development effectiveness. The credit risk rationale argues for the type of short-term focus and yes-no decision-making used in the MSAs, and Management may wish to strengthen the ability of its risk management group to perform independent credit risk assessment of the sovereign portfolio. The development rationale argues for a more medium-term instrument with a broader focus, as macroeconomic policies are not the only ones that matter for development. One option would be to strengthen the Bank's Independent Macroeconomic Assessments for policy-based lending, with clear guidelines to ensure their effective coverage and implementation. IDB could also strengthen its macroeconomic and policy analysis through its regular program of economic and sector work. It is clearly feasible for the IDB to have a stronger role than it now has in policy analysis and advice to its borrowing countries.

Abstract:
The Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station (NTAS) was established to address the need for accurate air-sea flux estimates and upper ocean measurements in a region with strong sea surface temperature anomalies and the likelihood of significant local air–sea interaction on interannual to decadal timescales. The approach is to maintain a surface mooring outfitted for meteorological and oceanographic measurements at a site near 15°N, 51°W by successive mooring turnarounds. These observations are used to investigate air–sea interaction processes related to climate variability. The NTAS Ocean Reference Station (ORS NTAS) is supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) Program (formerly Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division). This report documents recovery of the NTAS-20, the final mooring of the NTAS time-series. The NTAS moorings use Surlyn foam buoys as the surface element. These buoys were outfitted with two Air–Sea Interaction Meteorology (ASIMET) systems. Each system measures, records, and transmits via satellite the surface meteorological variables necessary to compute air–sea fluxes of heat, moisture, and momentum. The upper 160 m of the mooring line were outfitted with oceanographic sensors for the measurement of temperature, salinity, and velocity. The mooring recovery was done by the Upper Ocean Processes Group of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Drew Cole, onboard R/V Ronald H. Brown, Cruise RB-22-04. The cruise took place between October 6 and 25 2022. Other operations during the cruise consisted of the intercomparison between ship and NTAS buoy measurements, turnaround of Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment (MOVE) subsurface mooring array, CTD casts, and four Argo floats deployments. MOVE is designed to monitor the integrated deep meridional flow in the tropical North Atlantic. This report describes these operations.

Abstract:
[Extract from Executive Summary] To enhance sustainability and foster resilience within Scotland’s inshore fishing communities an effective system of collecting and sharing relevant data is required. To support business decisions made by vessel owners as well as informing fisheries managers and those involved in marine planning it will be vital to collect a range of information which will provide a robust understanding of fishing activity, the economic value of the sector and its importance within local communities. The SIFIDS Project was conceived to assist in attaining these goals by working alongside fishers to develop and test technology to automatically collect and collate data on board vessels, thereby reducing the reporting burden on fishers. The project built upon previous research funded through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) and was designed to deliver a step change in the way that inshore fisheries in Scotland could be managed in cooperation with the industry. The project focussed on inshore fishing vessels around Scotland, where spatio-temporal information on the distribution of vessels and associated fishing effort is data deficient. The whole project was broken down into 12 highly integrated work packages. This is the integrated report for work packages 2A and 2B, entitled’ Development and Pilot Deployment of a Prototypic Autonomous Fisheries Data Harvesting System’ (2A) and ‘Investigation into the Availability and Adaptability of Novel Technological Approaches to Data Collection’ (2B).

Full text
Abstract:
In June 2023, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Board of Pressure Technology Codes and Standards approved a plan to modify the location and content of hydrogen pipelines within their code. The decision was made to relocate the hydrogen pipeline sections of ASME B31.12 Hydrogen Piping and Pipelines to a new exception chapter within ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems. Along with this move, the technical content was also to be updated to reflect current best practices. The Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) established the Emerging Fuels Institute (EFI) in 2020 to advance research and improve code language related to carbon dioxide, hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and other emerging fuels. In response to ASME's decision, EFI developed a project to create Consensus Engineering Requirements (CERs) for hydrogen pipeline design and reuse. The work contained in this document will serve as the starting point for discussion within the ASME B31.8 Hydrogen Task Group that has the responsibility to write the new exception chapter of ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems. The CERs are presented within this report, alongside a Nonmandatory Appendix that provides user guidance, and a rationale document that includes justification and supporting information for new requirements. The three documents are based on the latest state-of-the-art research related to pipeline transport of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen blend service.

Abstract:
As all aspects of the American workplace become automated or digitally enhanced to some degree, K12 educators have an increasing responsibility to help their students acquire the technical skills necessary to organize and interpret information. Increasingly, this is done through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), especially in careers related to transportation and logistics. The Center for International Trade &amp; Transportation (CITT) at CSU Long Beach has developed this K12 Special Investigation Project to introduce ArcGIS StoryMaps, an engaging, accessible and sophisticated web-based GIS application. The lessons center on e-commerce and its accompanying environmental and economic impact. Still, the activities can be easily adapted to projects in any subject area, such as humanities, science, math, or language arts. This teacher blueprint includes a teacher training guide with ten detailed lesson plans and activities. With the guidance of a National Board-Certified Teacher in Early Adolescence Math as lead instructor, the curriculum is designed to align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Also, exploration of STEM and GIS-related careers are incorporated into the lesson plans.

Full text
Abstract:
A set of experiments was conducted to expose different types of energized electrical cords for lamps, office equipment, and appliances to a developing room fire exposure. All of the cords were positioned on the floor and arranged in a manner to receive a similar thermal exposure. Six types of cords commonly used as power supply cords, extension cords, and as part of residential electrical wiring systems were chosen for the experiments. The non-metallic sheathed cables (NMB) typically found in residential electrical branch wiring were included to provide a link to previous research. The basic test design was to expose the six different types of cords, on the floor of a compartment to a growing fire to determine the conditions under which the cord would trip the circuit breaker and/or undergo an arc fault. All of the cords would be energized and installed on a non-combustible surface. Six cord types (18-2 SPT1, 16-3 SJTW, 12-2 NM-B, 12-3 NM-B, 18-3 SVT, 18-2 NISPT-2) and three types of circuit protection (Molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), combination Arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI), Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)) were exposed to six room-scale fires. The circuit protection was remote from the thermal exposure. The six room fires consisted of three replicate fires with two sofas as the main fuel source, two replicate fires with one sofa as the main fuel source and one fire with two sofas and MDF paneling on three walls in the room. Each fuel package was sufficient to support flashover conditions in the room and as a result, the impact on the cords and circuit protection was not significantly different. The average peak heat release rate of the sofa fueled compartment fires with gypsum board ceiling and walls was 6.8 MW. The addition of vinyl covered MDF wall paneling on three of the compartment walls increased the peak heat release rate to 12 MW, although most of the increased energy release occurred outside of the compartment opening. In each experiment during post flashover exposure, the insulation on the cords ignited and burned through, exposing bare conductor. During this period the circuits faulted. The circuit protection devices are not designed to provide thermal protection, and, thus, were installed remote from the fire. The devices operated as designed in all experiments. All of the circuit faults resulted in either a magnetic trip of the conventional circuit breaker or a ground-fault trip in the GFCI or AFCI capable circuit protection devices. Though not required by UL 1699, Standard for Safety for Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupters as the solution for detection methodology, the AFCIs used had differential current detection. Examination of signal data showed that the only cord types that tripped with a fault to ground were the insulated conductors in non-metallic sheathed cables (12-2 NM-B and 12-3 NM-B). This was expected due to the bare grounding conductor present. Assessments of both the thermal exposure and physical damage to the cords did not reveal any correlation between the thermal exposure, cord damage, and trip type.

Full text
Abstract:
Attic fires pose many hazards for the fire service. When a fire occurs in an attic, it is common it goes unnoticed/reported until smoke or flames are visible from the outside of the structure. Because they take longer to detect, attic fires are more dangerous for firefighters and residents. In a fire situation, the attic ventilation system, which is designed to reduce moisture accumulation by drawing fresh air low from the eaves and exhausting moisture laden warm air near the peak, create an optimal fire growth and spread situation by supplying oxygen to the fire and exhausting hot gases. An estimated 10,000 residential attic fires are reported to U.S. fire departments each year and cause an estimated 30 civilian deaths, 125 civilian injuries and $477 million in property loss. The location of the attic creates several difficulties for the fire service. Firefighters must decide whether to fight the fire from inside the structure, from the outside or a combination of the two. This the decision is complicated by the constant hazard of ceiling collapse, which has the potential to rapidly deteriorate conditions in the living spaces. A piece of gypsum board may fall or be pulled from the ceiling making the relatively clear and cool conditions in the living space change very quickly endangering firefighters executing a search and rescue operation as part of their life safety mission. Further complicating the decision are the hazards associated with roof structure collapse, creating deadly conditions for firefighters operating on and under the roof. Structural collapse accounted for 180 firefighter deaths between 1979 and 2002 of which one-third occurred in residential structures . Many of these incidents involved a roof falling on firefighters or firefighters falling through the roof during firefighting operations on attic fires. The purpose of this study is to increase firefighter safety by providing the fire service with scientific knowledge on the dynamics of attic and exterior fires and the influence of coordinated fire mitigation tactics from full-scale fire testing in realistic residential structures.
