This work also presents an experimental investigation concerning the use of artificial neural networks in the adaptation process of CBR systems. A backpropagation feedforward neural network in different configurations, has been employed to carry out empirical analysis of using this technique for case based adaptation.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

The huge and complicated road network in a modern country makes it difficult to find the best route for traveling from one place to another place. In developing countries this problem becomes even more complex and complicated due to the small number of inevitable links and road-track-crossing links. The route searched by the shortest path algorithm alone may be shortest one but cannot guarantee to be the best route because of many irrelevant road segments as part of the solution. Moreover, en route emergencies may make the decided route unusable or more time is required than in normal situations. We discuss and propose adhoc database changes to find en route best alternate route in the case of an emergency. We also used knowledge-based techniques, case-based reasoning to prune the search space.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

The temperature of various parts of the fuse-link has been measured using thermocouples: the results are within the limits set by several international standards. The upper limit of the results obtained by the power-dissipation measurements is around 110 W.

It is shown that, in optimal conditions, the converter's output voltage is twice its input voltage. This kind of converter is easy to fabricate, and can be used in power modules located inside portable systems where smaller size and lower weight are crucial considerations.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

A plane wave of known parameters is incident from the half space not containing the cylinder. The electric field of the incident plane wave is parallel to the axis of the cylinder. The electric field integral equation is used to find the currents induced on the cylinder. It is solved numerically using the method of moments. The elements of the impedance matrix have two parts, one is the free space Green's function and the second part is the Sommerfeld-type integral. The Sommerfeld-type integral is numerically integrated using Filon's method of integration. The induced currents are then used to find the scattered field in the half-space, which does not contain the cylinder. Results obtained are compared to results previously obtained by approximate methods.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

The reaction wheels present an economical solution in terms of energy and also enable a smooth control technique as opposed to a chattering control exhibited by thruster techniques. By continuously exchanging momentum between the spacecraft body and reaction/momentum wheels a fine pointing control can be implemented. This work describes a simulation framework built for the design of an attitude control system for an indigenous communication satellite. It describes the modeling of the dynamics of the spacecraft structure carrying reaction wheels and its capacity for external disturbance rejection. The controller and the associated compensator algorithms are discussed in the context of pitch axis control. Finally an integrated model allowing 3-degrees of freedom to the spacecraft structure carrying three separate reaction wheels is implemented. The expected performance of the control system is demonstrated through a simulation showing a graphic reorientation of a multi-faced body in accordance with the attitude control command issued by the autopilot.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.

Translating one natural language into another becomes complex due to structural difference, varieties of meanings, different forms of verbs etc. In this paper, a general algorithm has been developed which takes one natural language (i.e. English, German etc) as input and produces another natural language (i.e. Bengali, Japanese etc.) as output reserving the same expression. For understanding the input natural language, a smart-parse algorithm has been developed which unambiguously and efficiently generates a stack of the parse tree from the existing structure. After parsing, it incorporates itself with the knowledge base and dictionary and finally produces the corresponding targeted natural language. After fixing up the input and output natural language, it is possible to use this algorithm for translation after simple modification.","PeriodicalId":253329,"journal":{"name":"7th International Multi Topic Conference, 2003.
