Massive growth of the Internet traffic in last decades has motivated the design of high-speed optical networks. Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), also known as IEEE 802.17, is a standard designed for the optimized transport of data traffic over optical fiber ring networks. Its design is to provide the resilience found in SONET/SDH networks but instead of setting up circuit oriented connections, providing a packet based transmission. This is to increase the efficiency of Ethernet and IP services. In this paper, a weighted ring arc-loading problem (WRALP) is considered which arises in engineering and planning of the RPR systems (combinatorial optimization NP- complete problem). Specifically, for a given set of non-split and uni-directional point-to-point demands (weights), the objective is to find the routing for each demand (i.e., assignment of the demand to either clockwise or counter-clockwise ring) so that the maximum arc load is minimized. This paper suggests four variants of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), combined with a Local Search (LS) method to efficient non-split traffic loading on the RPR. Numerical simulation results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methods.

The past two decades have witnessed tremendous research activities in optimization methods for communication networks. One important problem in communication networks is the Terminal Assignment Problem. This problem involves determining minimum cost links to form a network by connecting a collection of terminals to a collection of concentrators. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm to solve the Terminal Assignment Problem. We compare our results with the results obtained by the standard Genetic Algorithm, the Tabu Search Algorithm and the Hybrid Differential Evolution Algorithm, used in literature.

Poor visibility conditions due to murky water, bad weather, dust and smoke severely impede the performance of vision systems. Passive methods have been used to restore scene contrast under moderate visibility by digital postprocessing. However, these methods are ineffective when the quality of acquired images is poor to begin with. In this work, we design active lighting and sensing systems for controlling light transport before image formation, and hence obtain higher quality data. First, we present a technique of polarized light striping based on combining polarization imaging and structured light striping. We show that this technique out-performs different existing illumination and sensing methodologies. Second, we present a numerical approach for computing the optimal relative sensor-source position, which results in the best quality image. Our analysis accounts for the limits imposed by sensor noise.
As more and more devices are equipped with multiple network interfaces, the multihomed technology is becoming an important technology that can provide more reliable connections against the network failure and better d...

The paper deals with the modelling of riveted joints in aircraft structures with Finite Element Method. Presented works were carried out within Eureka project No. E!3496 called IMPERJA. The goal of the IMPERJA project is to increase the fatigue life of riveted joints, which will lead to an increase of the aircraft service life, a smaller number of inspections and lower operation costs of an aircraft. The project assumed FEM modelling of the operating aircraft's structure at three different complexity levels, namely considering the complete structure, a structural detail and a single riveted joint. The paper presents analyses of various rivet models and calculations of a structure and a riveted joint. In the first part examples of various models, at global and local level, were presented and usefulness of them was discussed, influence of the following simplification was analysed;• neglection of rivets in a model (elements are jointed continuously) • rivet as a rigid element (MPC) • neglection of contact phenomenon • neglection of secondary bending • neglection of residual stresses after riveting process The basis of the analysis was the asymmetric butt joint model with 14 rivets. The model which took into account secondary bending and contact phenomenon was analysed as well. The method of modelling residual stresses with temperature and thermal coefficient was used. In the second part, the example of analysis of riveted joint was demonstrated for a wing of PZL M28 Skytruck aircraft. It's is a twin-engine, high-wing, cantilever monoplane of all-metal structure with maximum take-off and landing weight 7500 kg. A submodeling technique was used there. At first, part of the wing model, based on a CAD model, was built. It includes 7 ribs and 6 bulkheads between them. Dimensions of the model eliminate stress perturbation, connected with boundary conditions, in the area near the middle rib. It was a shell model. The boundary conditions were taken on a basis of operation data

This paper proposes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based integrated circuit (IC) for computing apparent powers and power factors of power systems. In a nonsinusoidal and unbalanced three-phase power system, the calculation of apparent powers and power factors has many definitions. Load characteristics of harmonic and unbalance can not be expressed in the traditional apparent power and power factor, which only consider the fundamental and three-phase balanced sinusoidal conditions. This paper utilizes the FPGA chip to develop the platform to implement the calculation methods of apparent powers and power factors. The proposed design scheme is developed using the very high speed integrated-circuit hardware description language (VHDL), which provides high flexibility and technology indep.ndence. This paper discussed the effective power and power factor, the arithmetic power and power factor, and the fundamental power and power factor. The design of filters for the computation of fundamental frequency components is given. ModelSim is used at first to simulate the calculation of apparent powers and power factors to ensure the accuracy of timing and function. Research results show that the designed chip can compute accurately the apparent powers and power factors considering the effects of nonsinusoidal and unbalanced conditions.
