We reveal the reason behind a haptic illusion called the Velvet Hand Illusion (VHI) by FEM analysis. We also investigate the possibility of using the results of the analysis to design a haptic display which utilize VHI. In VHI, a person rubs his/her hands together on both sides of wires strung through a frame and produces the sensation of rubbing a very smooth and soft surface like velvet. We focus...
Recent developments in engineering produced a new technology for information intensive environment. A definite part of the physical world, typically a product and its operating environment is described in a computer system for a virtual space in order to data management during development, analysis, production, marketing, support, and recycling. One of the recent researches by the authors of this...
Workflows are commonly used to model data intensive scientific analysis. As computational resource needs increase for eScience, emerging platforms like clouds present additional resource choices for scientists and policy makers. We introduce BReW, a tool enables users to make rapid, highlevel platform selection for their workflows using limited workflow knowledge. This helps make informed decisions...
Network-on-Chip (NoC) has become a widely accepted on-chip communication architecture which provides a promising solution to integrate a large number of components on a single chip. However, with the increasingly higher performance demands for on-chip systems, NoCs are facing several critical challenges such as wire delay and power consumption. Therefore, in this paper, we explore different cache...
An extended car-following model is proposed by incorporating the anticipative information by vehicle to vehicle. The stability condition of the proposed model is obtained by using the linear stability theory. The results show that the anticipative information can promote the stability of traffic flow. Numerical simulations are carried out, and the results are consonant with the theory ones.

With a such research, the paper comes to the conclusion, that is,there is a long co-integration relation among them,fixed asset investment,R, former accumulated foreign capital amount, loan balance of financial corporation...
The structure was introduced, status of parallel-type Electrostatic Fabric Filter were researched, and the factors influencing collection efficiency were analyzed in the paper. With software of Gambit which also meshed the calculating region, Three-dimensional structure model of the precipitator was established. And then the numerical simulation of the air distribution characteristic was carried on...
Vascular disease is a major cause of death, therefore it is desirable to develop robots and simulation tools for catheter trajectory evaluation. Until now trajectory completion duration, catheter tip location, wall deformation, morphology and stress applied to blood vessel phantom wall were identified as evaluation parameters during endovascular surgery simulation. For that purpose image processing...
This paper analyses the effects of Network-on-Chip (NoC) models written in SystemC on simulation speed. Two Register Transfer Level (RTL) models and Approximately Timed (AT) and Loosely Timed (LT) Transaction Level (TL) models are compared against reference RTL VHDL 2D mesh model. Three different mesh sizes are evaluated using a commercial simulator and OSCI SystemC reference kernel. Studied AT model...
Rapid development of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has greatly increased the traffic safety. In order to improving the safety status caused by drink driving in China, a questionnaire study was conducted with drink driving behaviors in Beijing to help understand the attitude, subjective norm, perceive behavioral control and intentions of drink driving in Beijing using the theory of planned...
The paper has constructed the mathematical model on the storage location assignment in AS/RS, and then optimized and solved it, performed instance simulation design and analysis on the storage location assignment by means of Flexsim. Finally, we have concluded that the storage location assignment model after optimization would solve the storage location assignment problem in AS/RS effectively and...
This paper reports a theoretical investigation of the strain sensitive effect of a 2D photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavity resonator for mechanical sensing applications. The nanocavity is created by missing a circle of air holes in the array of triangular lattice of air holes. The strain sensitivity of a high quality factor PhC nanocavity has been investigated based on the finite element method (FEM)...
Computerized interlocking systems have been studied for many years. Available interlocking systems mainly are centralized control systems. The great progress of distributed control technology and intelligent terminals make it possible to develop distributed interlocking system. To standardize operations of devices in distributed railway signaling system, this article takes the process of train entering...
