Abstract:

The operating principles, as well as the technical aspects of the implementation of a new computer-controlled pressure standard are presented. The instrument can have dual use: either as a pressure source or as a pressure sensor. The device is intended mostly for use in problems where small differential pressures are of interest, i. e., 0–2.5 KPa and high accuracy is desired. Such a pressure range encompasses, for example, most of the pressure measurement applications in subsonic wind-tunnel testing. The device interfaces to a PC and is ideal for fully-automated pressure transducer calibration applications. The accuracy of the pressures produced or measured by the device is 0.08 percent F. S.

Abstract:

In this paper, various contouring test systems for computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools are reviewed. It is the first time a laser diode and a quadrant sensor have been employed to build a simple contouring measuring system for testing dynamic performance of a CNC machine tool. The experimental work on a CNC machine tool with a Fanuc OM controller for various contouring paths under specified feed rates is carried out. Then, the compensation work is executed with the assistance of this developed contouring system. After the compensation, the contouring error, especially at a high feed rate and small radius, is reduced significantly.

Abstract:

Software cybernetics is an emerging area that explores the interplay between software and control. The controlled Markov chain (CMC) approach to software testing supports the idea of software cybernetics by treating software testing as a control problem, where the software under test serves as a controlled object modeled by a controlled Markov chain and the software testing strategy serves as the corresponding controller. The software under test and the corresponding software testing strategy form a closed-loop feedback control system. The theory of controlled Markov chains is used to design and optimize the testing strategy in accordance with the testing/reliability goal given explicitly and a priori. Adaptive software testing adjusts and improves software testing strategy online by using the testing data collected in the course of software testing. In doing so, the online parameter estimations play a key role. In this paper, we study the effects of genetic algorithm and the gradient method for doing online parameter estimation in adaptive software testing. We find that genetic algorithm is effective and does not require prior knowledge of the software parameters of concern. Although genetic algorithm is computationally intensive, it leads the adaptive software testing strategy to an optimal software testing strategy that is determined by optimizing a given testing goal, such as minimizing the total cost incurred for removing a given number of defects. On the other hand, the gradient method is computationally favorable, but requires appropriate initial values of the software parameters of concern. It may lead, or fail to lead, the adaptive software testing strategy to an optimal software testing strategy, depending on whether the given initial parameter values are appropriate or not. In general, the genetic algorithm should be used instead of the gradient method in adaptive software testing. Simulation results show that adaptive software testing does work and outperforms random testing.

Abstract:

Numerous devices and mock circulations have been described for the measurement of pressure loss, closure time, closing and leakage volumes and energy loss in artificial heart valves. However, all the devices have been troubled with difficulties in generating and assessing the precise flow through the valve, and problems in defining the arterial load, i.e. the artificial aorta. The new test device follows a radically different approach: a computer controlled piston forces the fluid through the test valve only — with no afterload. During systole, outflow follows a physiological curve which is identical for all types of heart valves of a given size. During diastole a mathematically defined physiological pressure difference curve is followed. Consequently, the measurements are independent of the individual machine, the lab where testing takes place, the scientist who executes the test, the time when measurements are taken and all other external influences.

Abstract:

A computer-aided method of defining and machining 2-metre ship hull forms for hydrodynamic testing is described. The hull shape is faired from the original table of off-sets using a minimum number of smooth three-dimensional parametric skeletal-lines along the length of the boat. A fine set of smoothly blending station-lines is therby formed. The hull shape is preformed in two halves through a lamination process and machined on a three-axis numerically controlled machining (CNC) centre. A carbide-tipped, end-milling cutter is directed along the closely spaced station-lines to rapidly form an accurate hull shape requiring a minimum of hand work. The fairing and machining programs, called G-surf, run on a personal computer and are used to transmit the data and control the CNC machine in real time. The resulting hull shape is symmetrical and far more accurate than manually lofted and preshaped models.

Abstract:

The research project “Feedback Processes in Computer Managed Spelling Instruction” was aimed at developing and testing an instructional software program for teaching the orthography of Dutch verbs. The main focus of this article is on how to design an optimal learning environment. The design of human-computer interaction is highlighted from a number of respects: the sequencing of the learning content, the presentation of information on the screen, and the format of student input and feedback. The program consists of seven instructional modules. In each module, a specific grammatical operation, such as grammatical tense, person, number or voice, is highlighted. The effectiveness of the courseware was tested in a field experiment. Two versions of the program, a Standard Version and a Flexible Version, were compared, taking account of individual differences in spelling ability and motivation variables. Results with both versions are reported.

Abstract:

The article describes the study of welding processes with the subsequent control of cooling of full-profile rail joints, produced by passing alternating electric current pulses after welding. The influence of welding modes on the quality of welded joint was investigated. Welding was carried out on a resistance butt welding machine MCP-6301 in conditions of the rail welding company LLC “RSP-M” (RSP-29). For research, the samples of P65 type full-profile rails of DT350 category 600 mm long were cut out. The isothermal holding conditions after welding were controlled using a personal computer with a change in the program of the SIMATIC S7-300 industrial controller and the software SIMATIC STEP 7, which allows modes of controlled cooling to be set. The control program was written in the LAD graphic language. To search for optimal modes of controlled cooling, a complete factor experiment N = 2k was carried out. Non-heat-treated joints were tested for three-point static bending according to the state standard STO RZD 1.08.002 – 2009 “Railway rails, welded by electric contact method”. Static bending tests were carried out on the press of PMS-320 type. Values of the force arising during bending Pbend and the bend deflection fpr at which the control sample is destroyed, were determined, as well as maximum values of these indicators if the sample was not destroyed during the tests. During the experiments, regression models were obtained for output parameters of the bending force and bend deflection. Macrostructure of the samples and distribution of the metal hardness on rolling surface of the rails welded joint were studied. A new method of resistance butt welding was developed, which makes it possible to obtain a welded connection of P65 type rails of DT350 category with properties that exceed the technical requirements of the mentioned state standard.

Abstract:

Wear has been the primary failure mode affecting the long-term performance of orthopaedic implants. The tribological evaluation of orthopaedic biomaterials in vitro is regarded as an essential material characterization before implantation. In this paper, a new biotribometer of pin-on-disk type, the Ortho-POD, was designed and built for the biotribological tests of orthopaedic biomaterials. The primary goal of developing this Ortho-POD is to simulate and predict the wear properties of orthopaedic biomaterials in clinical application, especially in the form of hip, knee and spine prostheses. This 6-station Ortho-POD, including a pin guiding module, a motion module, a framework module and a loading module, provides multidirectional slide track shapes and variable load via a computer-controlled programmer. A frequency controller and heating system were assembled in the Ortho-POD so as to offer a wide range of testing conditions.

Abstract:

Background. Most of the current models for experimental burns pose difficulties in ensuring consistency and standardization.Aim of Study. We aimed to develop an automated, reproducible technique for experimental burns using steam-based heat transfer.Methods. The system developed for steam exposure was based on a novel, integrated, computer-controlled design. Three groups of rats were exposed to steam for 1, 3, and 7 seconds. The lesions were evaluated after 20 minutes, 48 hours, and 72 hours after burn induction.Results. One-second steam application produced a superficial second-degree burn; three-second application induced deep second-degree burn; and seven-second application led to a third-degree burn.Conclusion. The high level of automation of our integrated, computer-controlled system makes the difference between our system and other models, by ensuring the control of the duration of exposure, temperature, and pressure and eliminating as many potential human generated errors as possible. The automated system can accurately reproduce specific types of burns, according to histological assessment. This model could generate the reproducible data needed in the study of burn pathology and in order to assess new treatments.

Abstract:

A comparison is presented of the nitriding and carburizing processes. Traditional gas nitriding, despite its several advantages over carburizing, has still not achieved its due popularity. The key factor is inadequate process control. An industrial-scale computerized system, employing the nitriding potential as the fundamental controlling parameter, can produce repeatable, superior nitriding results, limiting layer brittleness and enhancing usable properties. Results obtained showed that nitriding layers match carburized layers in fatigue, while exceeding them in both impact strength and wear resistance. The superiority of the computer-controlled process over traditional nitriding is illustrated by results of wear testing. The advent of controlled nitriding makes this process a viable alternative to carburizing.

Abstract:

Before clinical islet transplantation can become an effective and reliable treatment for type 1 diabetic patients, there must be significant improvements in the methods employed for the isolation of islets of Langerhans. We have developed an automated cell extraction system (ACES), which allows computer control of the isolation process. As well, it incorporates a novel method of recombining dissociated pancreatic tissue. Following initial system design and testing to determine the optimal system configuration, a series of 12 consecutive canine islet isolations were performed. Pancreases were perfused with collagenase via the duct and dissociated and recombined using either the standard Ricordi-based protocol (group 1, n = 6) or dissociated and recombined using the ACES system (group 2, n = 6). A total of 90.8 ± 21 x 103 islet equivalents (IE) (mean ± SEM) were recovered in group 1 vs. 99 ± 14 x 103 IE in group 2 (p = NS, student unpaired t-test). Following Ficoll purification the recovery was 56.2 ± 14 x 103 IE for group 1 vs. 54.7 ± 11 x 103 IE for group 2 (p = NS). Viability was equivalent with an 8.6-fold increase in insulin secretion for group 1 and an 8.8-fold increase for group 2 when the islets were exposed to high glucose solution supplemented with IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) during static incubation. In vivo function was equivalent following transplantation of 2000 IE under the kidney capsule of alloxan-induced diabetic nude mice with five of six and five of seven mice surviving long-term (>50 days posttransplant) (groups 1 and 2, respectively). This data shows that an entirely automated pancreatic islet extraction system can result in effective canine islet recovery without compromising islet yields and viability. The ACES system has several ad van tages over the standard isolation protocol. These include: 1) computer control and monitoring over all phases of the isolation, 2) a single-use sterile disposable tubing set, and 3) a novel method of tissue recombination.

Abstract:

Adaptive testing is the counterpart of adaptive control in software testing. It means that software testing strategy should be adjusted on-line by using the testing data collected during software testing as our understanding of the software under test is improved. Previous studies on adaptive testing involved a simplified Controlled Markov Chain (CMC) model for software testing which employs several unrealistic assumptions. In this paper we propose a new adaptive software testing approach in the context of an improved and namely, general CMC model which aims to eliminate such threats to validity. A set of more realistic basic assumptions on the software testing process is proposed and several unrealistic assumptions are replaced by less unrealistic assumptions. A new adaptive testing strategy based on the general CMC is developed and implemented. Mathematical simulations and experiments on real life software are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new strategy.

Abstract:

This study addresses the need for uniformity in techniques for clinical quantification of tinnitus. Because automation can be an effective means to achieve standardization, this laboratory is developing techniques to perform computer-automated tinnitus testing. The present study was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining reliable tinnitus measures using a fully automated system. A computer-controlled psychoacoustical system was developed to quantify tinnitus loudness and pitch using a tone-matching technique. Hearing thresholds were also obtained as part of the procedure. The system generated test stimuli and simultaneously controlled a notebook computer positioned in the sound chamber facing the patient. The notebook computer displayed instructions for responding and relayed response choices through on-screen "buttons" that the patient touched with a pen device. Twenty individuals with tinnitus were evaluated with the technique over two sessions, and responses were analyzed for test-retest reliability. Analyses revealed good reliability of thresholds, loudness matches, and pitch matches. These results demonstrate that use of a fully automated system to obtain reliable measurements of tinnitus loudness and pitch is feasible for clinical application.

Abstract:

A computer-controlled injection-correction system has been developed to continuously and completely mitigate the adverse effects of membrane compliance for undrained testing of granular soils. The system was developed with the explicit idea that it could be quickly and easily adapted to most any up to date triaxial testing apparatus. A relationship between effective confining stress and volumetric compliance can be predetermined, as volumetric-compliance errors have been shown to be a direct and repeatable function of effective confining stresses for a given material. The predetermination of volumetric-compliance errors represents a suitable basis for control of injection–removal compensation for membrane compliance during undrained testing. A closed-loop computer-controlled system continuously monitors changes in sample effective confining stresses such that precalculated volumetric-compliance errors can be continuously offset by injecting or removing volumes of water equal to those errors throughout the duration of each test. The validity of the injection system was verified by comparison of the compensated tests to results of large-scale (300 mm diameter) tests of the same materials, as compliance effects for large-scale tests of this material were negligible.

Abstract:

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are widely recommended as the most useful study design to generate reliable evidence and guidance to daily practices in medicine and dentistry. However, it is not well-known in dental research that different statistical methods of data analysis can yield substantial differences in study power. In this study, computer simulations are used to explore how using different univariate and multivariate statistical methods of analyzing change in continuous outcome variables affects study power, and the sample size required for RCTs. Results show that, in general, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) yields greater power than other statistical methods in testing the superiority of one treatment over another, or in testing the equivalence between two treatments. Therefore, ANCOVA should be used in preference to change score or percentage change score to reduce type II error rates.
