Laser sintering (LS) is one of the most versatile rapid prototyping (RP) processes currently available. One of the main advantages of employing this technology is that the non-sintered powder can be recycled and reused for further fabrication. Current powder recycling methodologies using a constant refresh rate with a very high portion of new mater

Rapid prototyping (RP) has become one major play role particularly in the area of product development by providing a quick solid view on parts or products before it can be further into productions. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the growth of rapid prototyping’s populations and its’ potential in malaysia. Regarding to this matt

This paper discusses terminal sliding mode control for active engine mounting (AEM) system to isolate vehicle engine body vibration. The engine vibration may occur due to road irregularities, at low frequency, and also reciprocating mechanism of the piston in the engine, at high frequency about 20 – 40 Hz. Active engine mounting system is designe

The needs of powerful engine and lighter car body has adverse effect to the vibration occurred in the car. Obviously the presence of the engine vibration will imposed to the discomfort of the driver and passengers as well. To isolate the vibration, active engine mounting (AEM) has been proposed as the new generation of engine mounting. The control

DDS and ADC are the components of an FMCW radar that can not be separated. DDS serves to rapidly synthesize an analog signal at a specific frequency, whereas ADC converts analog into digital signals for further processing. Both DDS and ADC required a synchronization through the Sweep Repetition Frequency (SRF) to determine the frequency tuning word

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the interface between the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to determine measures available to the global community to resolve the conflict between them, in order to prevent the rapid loss of biodiversity despi

Estimation of transaction costs in a stock market is an important issue for stock trading, asset pricing, stock market regulation and so on, and it is often done by combining the bid-ask spread estimate with commissions and other fees provided by market participants, which can be subjective. This study aims to offer an innovative alternative method

The January-December 2008 National Drug Information System Unit (NADI) report indicated that the Malaysian drug situation remains a serious one. According to 2007 AADK (Agensi Anti Dadah Kebangsaan) report, one of the contributing factors towards relapse cases in drug addiction is lack of social support from the society when they re-enter the commu
