The studied combustion chamber has a high degree of geometrical complexity related to the injection system as well as the cooling system based on a big distribution of small holes (about 3390 holes) bored on the liner walls. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the type of widening at the outlet of the injector on the distribution of the temperature of the walls of the flame tube. In order to do this, two cases were considered: the first case corresponds to a sudden widening and the second case corresponds to a conical widening by the addition of a conical divergent piece at the outlet of the injection system. The calculations were carried out using the industrial CFD code Ansys FLUENT. The difference between the maximum temperatures reached shows the important role of this piece in the protection of the cap of the flame tube. The results showed that the addition of the conical divergent piece permits to considerably reduce the maximum temperature of the liner cap. In fact, the temperature decrease is of the order of 300 ° C near the injector and more than 800 ° C elsewhere, which corresponds to a reduction of 17% and 50% respectively.","PeriodicalId":117908,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering & MIS (ICEMIS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126614644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the undirected topology graph of the blood vessel is extracted from the given image; this is performed after the binarization of the image. Then, we use a skeletonization algorithm in order to obtain the human retinal vascular tree. Next, we determinate the pixels classification (endpoints, bifurcation points, and interior points) and branches curve. Finally, we use three methods of reconciliation of the blood vessels curve to get a smooth curve, particularly insensitive to deformations that may taint the subject, as well as the recognition of the natural structures of the human retinal vascular tree. The results obtained for the three types of reconstruction are compared between them and with the geometrical structure of the vascular tree. We note that the cubic spline method is better than the other two methods in terms of average Root-Mean-Square Error (RMS) value 0.12 pixels and the average Absolute value of the Aaximal Error (AME) 0.57 pixel. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed in relation to other methods proposed in the literature.","PeriodicalId":117908,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering & MIS (ICEMIS)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126782058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach is based on a hardware/software design (HW/SW) for on-chip and on-line learning with generic architectures. It is based, as well, on a variable topology (the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the number of entries are scalable) that makes it generic and usable for many applications without hardware modifications. In this contribution, we have integrated the parallelism rate into the data path, which is responsible for calculating the minimum distance, weights and labels, in order to solve problems of application latency. Therefore, our approach allows a compromise between latency, power and parallelism. These generic architectures allow enlightening the vision of the designers for the right choice of architecture that suits their needs. These different designs can be used for different applications including applications for vigilance states detection, image processing, EEG signals and ECG signals, etc.","PeriodicalId":117908,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Engineering & MIS (ICEMIS)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128509939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
