Use and Experience of Gas Turbine On-Line Diagnostics
White Paper Ten years ago Gas Turbine (GT) Diagnostic Systems were ordered in less then 10 % of new units. Today this has changed dramatically; almost all newly ordered gas turbines are equipped with at least a basic Diagnostic System. [04 Aug 2008]
Experimental Testbed Results for Broadband Residential Video Service QoS Management
White Paper This paper presents residential video service Quality of Service (QoS) results obtained from an experimental testbed employing constant bitrate MPEG-2 transport streams on a real ADSL/ATM access network testbed. [04 Aug 2008]
A Probabilistic Vehicle Diagnostic System Using Multiple Models
White Paper In addition to being accurate, it is important that diagnostic systems for use in automobiles also have low development and hardware costs. Model-based methods have shown promise at reducing hardware costs since they use analytical redundancy to... [04 Aug 2008]
On Performance of Pre Computation of Quality of Service Routes
White Paper Quality of Service (QoS) routing is the process of selecting the path to be used by the packets of a flow based on its QoS requirements and the resource availability of the network. In this paper, a new algorithm for pre computation of k... [04 Aug 2008]
Sufficient Rate Constraints for QoS Flows in Ad-Hoc Networks
White Paper The capacity of an arbitrary ad-hoc network is difficult to estimate due to interference between the links. The paper uses a conflict graph that models this interference relationship to determine if a set of flow rates can be accommodated. [04 Aug 2008]
