Processing conditions such as temperature, soak time, and heating rate affect the final density of conventionally-sintered and microwave-sintered ceramics. Of additional importance is the question of whether microwave-sintered ceramics display intrinsically superior macroscopic engineering properties compared with conventionally-sintered control specimens. An analysis using the Yates algorithm indicates that the processing condition which has the largest impact on the density of the specimen is the heating method (microwave vs. conventional). The microwave-sintered specimens resulted in higher densities and higher fracture strengths. However, it was determined that the higher fracture strengths were due to the higher sintered densities rather than a significantly different microstructure.

An analytic model for the performance evaluation of space-division asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches is presented. This model assumes that the switch has a fixed capacity of m, where 1/spl les/m/spl les/N (N is the number of trunks). Other important parameters include arrival rate and buffer sizes. Numerical solutions for the maximum throughput, cell delay, and cell loss probability are given with simulation being utilized in order to validate the analytic model. For independent and identical Bernoulli arrivals, the study shows that the contention processes can be modeled as discrete M/D/m (FIFO or Random) queues, while input queues can be modeled by Geom/G/1 queues, and the output queues are G/sup [X]//D/1 queues. A closed-form approximation for cell delay when m>2 is given. The result shows that the performance of switches with a small capacity can approach that of output queueing. The model and result can be used for switch design analysis and higher layer performance models.

We present a comparative analysis of bandwidth access control schemes under nonstationary traffic conditions for heterogeneous circuit-mode traffic offered to a B-ISDN network link. A unified model for analysing the behavior of several bandwidth access control schemes is developed using a Markov process model with acceptance functions. Numerical techniques are used to solve the associated Chapman-Kolmogorov equations and determine the nonstationary behavior. Performance results are given for several common bandwidth access control schemes, namely: complete sharing, complete partitioning, partial sharing, classical trunk reservation, and the probabilistic reservation policy. It is shown that the use of the average arrival rate to estimate the average connection blocking rate may be an underestimate for a system with a time varying arrival process. Also, it is found that a nonstationarity in one traffic class arrival process can impact other stationary traffic classes and the degree of variability depends on the particular access control scheme.

The advantages of single electron devices with asymmetrical tunnel barriers (ATBs), proposed by the authors, over conventional single electron devices with symmetrical tunnel barriers (STBs) are discussed by referring to the features of ATBs and the results of computer simulation of the performance of tunnel-junction-load SET logic and turnstile devices. Experimental observation of a Coulomb staircase and asymmetrical tunnel characteristics in ATBs fabricated with GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures are also reported.

The progress in understanding wafer-fused vertical-cavity lasers and improvements in fabrication techniques have led to the realization of the first room-temperature continuous-wave operating 1.54-/spl mu/m vertical-cavity lasers. By demonstrating continuous-wave operation at room temperature using vertical-cavity lasers fabricated by two wafer fusion steps, we have shown that wafer fusion is a viable technique. The lasers comprise strain compensated InGaAsP quantum-well active layers sandwiched between two AlGaAs/GaAs quarter-wave mirrors. Characteristics discussed include cavity losses, the gain-current density relationship, and voltage-current characteristics.

This paper presents a new switching control scheme for static var compensator (SVC) using fuzzy logic control rules to enhance the overall stability of electric power systems. In addition, the coordination with power system stabilizers (PSS) is also considered to achieve a wider stable region. An SVC is set on one of the busbars in the transmission system, where the real power flow signal is utilized at the location of the SVC to determine the firing angle of the thyristor switch. The switching control scheme is simple so as not to require heavy computation on the microcomputer based switching controller. The PSSs are also set on the generators in the study system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy logic switching control scheme for the SVC. The coordination between SVC and PSS is also effective to enlarge the stable region.

This paper is a case study of how problem resolution can operate in the life cycle maintenance stage of a large tactical sonar system. Here, the system design agent is not the original designer, so the principles of operation, hardware and software architecture, and test tools need to be learned. To deal with this challenge, the system design agent evolved a team approach that integrates the talents of a program manager, a system engineer, a test engineer, and a software engineer to analyze fleet problems. This team has proven effective at localizing problems for repair. Lessons are drawn to further improve maintenance efficiency.
