The capability to ensure reliability while operating in extreme environments is important for the most demanding automotive applications. Even though pressure sensors are a well-established area in the MEMS industry, improvements in sensor design are needed to deliver reliability and long operational life. This paper reports the design, fabrication and testing of a harsh media backside absolute piezoresistive...
Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a prominent reliability analysis method widely used in safety-critical industries. Computing minimal cut sets (MCSs), i.e., finding all the smallest combination of basic events that result in the top level event, plays a fundamental role in FTA. Classical methods have been proposed based on manipulation of boolean expressions of fault trees and Binary Decision Diagrams...
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) act as important safety barriers in industrial systems for preventing hazardous accidents. It is therefore significant to study the reliability issues of SIS. As a matter of fact, SIS have common behaviors such as periodic test policies to discover dangerous undetected failures. Modeling patterns capitalize the experience from modeling SIS. By reusing modeling patterns,...
Traditional generation and operation practices are being challenged worldwide by new technologies and alternative ways to plan, design, build and manage power systems. For example, the role of large generating units in the presence of renewable energy needs to be reexamined, especially in places with good renewable resources and aggressive energy policies. This paper presents lessons learned from...
In this paper, a high-reliability and ultra-low-latency wireless MAC protocol for industry automation applications is introduced. The proposed MAC protocol supports the flexibility, mobility and scalability of the wireless industrial LAN, approaching the data throughput and latency performance of the recent wired industrial LAN. We demonstrate the MAC performance as function of several network parameters...
Hybrid AC-DC systems are expected to flourish rapidly as part of the transition from conventional grid to smart grid. Effective detection, classification, and mitigation of faults in hybrid systems require accurate modelling of the entire system as a whole, and its components as well. Moreover, precise computation of fault current is an indispensable part of any fault management scheme. Such modelling...
In this paper we briefly describe the broad industry problem of solving the best infrastructures deployment comprising an overlay of energy, communications, control and regulatory networks. Solving this problem would provide key enablers for meeting the needs of very diverse social-ecological energy systems (SEES) across the world. As a way forward, we propose a unified modeling framework which is...
The rapid growth of internet users in Indonesia in the last decade has implications in almost all aspects of life including the growing use of the internet to download music. This phenomenon attracts the attention of music business stakeholders. Many researchers have developed a Technology Adoption Model (TAM) that incorporates aspects beyond the technology into the model, which came to be known as...
The increasing use of internet and mobile devices has also facilitated tourists to select various tourism destinations. This study analyzes the factors that influence consumer purchase intention toward online travel packages available on e-marketplace websites. Data collection was conducted via a survey with 441 respondents who were members of online travel communities/forums; the results were processed...
Energy interconnection (EI) is a logical consequence when ideas of open source and distributed scheme from the information field are introduced into the energy field. EI is essentially a typical cyber-physical system. This paper studies the new capabilities in sensing, computation, communication and control by analyzing its characteristics and demand. Firstly, we analyze the system architecture of...
In this paper, we address the problem of evaluating the aggregated services offered to the user through a multimodal travel planner. The effective design of a multimodal travel planner is considered a complex task since it requires the identification of the best possible route that combines segments of different transport modes. We describe a novel architecture and its respective connectivity infrastructure...
Service characteristic of invisibility, heterogeneity, concurrency, which increases the chance of failures, existing research thinks that good customer relationship can influence customer behavior after the service failure, ease service failure loss, but there are also study points out the customer relationship will strengthen negative reaction of service failure. Based on two-dimensional construct...
The management of service quality is crucial for service providers to improve customers' satisfaction, loyalty and company's profit. But the measurement of service quality is much more complicated compare to the product quality measurement. Moreover, the study of B2B service quality is pretty rare. Therefore, this study is based on China certification & inspection industry (CI-sq) and explores...
This paper discusses SEE effects in an architecture based on commercial-off-the-shelf multicore processors for consolidating mixed criticalities applications in single board computers for space applications. This paper builds on previously proposed system-level architectures for mixed-criticality applications, describing them both for convenience together with the previous validation results. The...
Remanufacturing has been characterized as a critical component of the circular economy and an engine of the closed loop supply chain process. However, few researches focus on consumers' intention to purchase remanufactured products. To enrich researches on this, we propose an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) by adding more explanative variables to investigate the affecting factors of consumers'...
Tourism firms are realizing the significance of customer-centered philosophies and are turning to quality management approaches to help managing their businesses in the context of smart tourism. This paper started with the concept of smart tourism and applied Kano model to identify basic quality elements concerned by tourists in the context of smart tourism, which may help firms to understand better...
The current automotive market for the integrated circuit (IC) packaging industry has grown significantly due to the increasing need for automation and higher performance in vehicles. These changes in the automotive market will enable cars to be more reliable and intelligent. To address the increasingly complex demands of the automotive market, the semiconductor packaging industry is shifting its focus...
Chip shooters are well known placement technology for low precision, simple package components such as resistors and capacitors in electronic packaging. Widely-used chip shooters are capable of placing component sizes as low as 01005 (200 × 400 µm). With the application of System in Package (SIP) module packaging, die bonder technology for flip chip connection faces the loss of line switching processing...
The paper analyzed what affecting O2O e-commerce take-away industry online review in China in recent years, and how these factors work. Also, it obtained the ranking of these factors' influence. The study used Rost CM6.0 to draw some information from a third-party take-away platform, and established a model by using binary logistic regression. Lastly, SPSS was used to analyze data. The results are:1)...
