The lift and drag coefficients, C/sub L/ and C/sub D/, were measured for miniature airplane shaped structures, approximately 2 mm in length, made from silicon. The airflow regime surrounding the structures was laminar, similar to that found around comparably ...

A site flatness of less than 32nm will be required when fabricating next-generation devices. A pin chuck is used to flatten a warped wafer. This chuck has three lift holes that are utilized when loading and unloading wafers. These holes deteriorate local ...

An epitaxial lift-off technique for removing wide bandgap II-VI heterostructures from GaAs substrates has previously been demonstrated using lattice-matched MgS as the sacrificial layer. However, using MgS as an etch release layer prevents its use as ...

Existing global optimization techniques for nonconvex quadratic programming (QP) branch by recursively partitioning the convex feasible set and thus generate an infinite number of branch-and-bound nodes. An open question of theoretical interest is how ...

As a promising substrate for various kinds of devices, polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) film has many advantages in terms of transparency, flexibility, chemical stability, thermal resistance, mechanical strength and low fabrication cost. In order to ...

An analytic trajectory solution based on dynamic pressure planning is presented for the gliding entry of lift-body. Firstly, the equations of motion are transformed from velocity to dynamic pressure and from time to altitude. An analytic method is proposed ...

A lift curve, with the true positive rate on the y-axis and the customer pull (or contact) rate on the x-axis, is often used to depict the model performance in many data mining applications, especially in the area of customer relationship management ...

The Sea Water Lift Pump (SLP) system is responsible for maintaining the open canal level to provide the suction flow of Circulating Water Pump (CWP) at the set point. The response of the SLP system is so slow that it is difficult to maintain an optimal ...

In this paper, a methodology for mining and exploring all forms of negative association rules has been suggested. As the existing softwares do not provide any module to mine negative association rules directly and efficiently, the present research may ...

Traditional association mining rule algorithms have two major drawbacks: first, there is a need to repeatedly scan the dataset and second, they generate too many association rules. In this paper, we have presented a dependency-based association ...

General successive convex relaxation methods (SRCMs) can be used to compute the convex hull of any compact set, in an Euclidean space, described by a system of quadratic inequalities and a compact convex set. Linear complementarity problems (LCPs) make ...

The application of fuzzy clustering techniques has recently become in a very useful alternative in the area of modeling and identification of complex industrial processes. In particular, fuzzy clustering techniques such as Fuzzy C-Means and the Gustafson-Kessel ...

We study how the lift-and-project method introduced by Lovász and Schrijver [SIAM J. Optim., 1 (1991), pp. 166--190] applies to the cut polytope. We show that the cut polytope of a graph can be found in k iterations if there exist ...

A comprehensive tool has been implemented for the comparison of different test preparation techniques and target faults. It comprises of the realistic fault characterisation program LIFT that can extract sets of various faults from a given analogue or ...

It is known that the flying characteristics of the golf ball is influenced by flying speed, rotational frequencies and the dimples, etc. In this study, the drag and lift acting on the test balls are measured using a three components loadcell by changing ...

This paper realized structural analysis of rotating hook-lift garbage truck based on ADAMS/ANSYS. Firstly, software ADAMS was used to realize dynamic simulation of working process. In order to get curves of dynamic parameters of each component simultaneously, ...
