Consumer research has traditionally presented the consumption process in three stages – acquisition, consumption and disposition (de Coverly et al. 2008; Jacoby, Berning, and Dietvorst 1977) and it is assumed that consumers ...

This paper presents a docking station heave motion prediction method for dynamic remotely operated vehicle (ROV) docking, based on the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). Due to the limited power onboard the ...

Networked control systems have been widely used in Industrial Automation since the latter part of the 20st century. Such networks have evolved from small systems with proprietary and slow Fieldbus technology to a much ...

This paper describes a set of novel aiding tools and technologies for system integration, deployment, monitoring and maintenance of ocean energy devices. The main component of the system is smart remotely operated vehicle ...

The design specifications for power converters are getting continuously tighter, keeping pace with the ever-increasing power requirements of the loads they supply. A step-down DC-DC converter used in modern computing ...

During the perioperative period, which includes the period before surgery (preoperative), during surgery (intraoperative) and after surgery (postoperative), it is essential to measure diagnostic parameters such as: blood ...

Presented in this paper is a process for manufacturing copper electrode patterns on alumina substrates using thin film deposition, spin coating and printed circuit board (PCB) etching techniques. The process was used for ...

A range of new 2D materials have recently been reported, including topological insulators, transition-metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, MXenes, and metal-organic frameworks, which have demonstrated high optical ...
