The present paper discusses a response surface methodological approach for the prediction of tangential cutting force produced in end-milling operation of Stainless steel (SS304). It is difficult to predict accurately the cutting forces encountered in end milling operations due to large number of independent variables involved. In this work, an app

An alternative approach to the use of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction is the use of parametric modeling technique. This method is suitable for problems in which the image can be modeled by explicit known source functions with a few adjustable parameters. Despite the success reported in the use of

This paper presents the development of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) based remote terminal unit (RTU) for customer side distribution automation system (DAS). It is to apply automation technique for operating and controlling low voltage (LV) down stream of 415/240 V. The SCADA system developed provides fault isolation operation,
