EEG classification using radial basis PSO neural network for brain machine interfaces
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE), 2007-12)Brain Machine Interfaces use the cognitive abilities of patients with neuromuscular disorders to restore communication and motor functions. At present, only EEG and related methods, which have relatively short time constants, ... -
EEG signal classification using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) neural network for brain machine interfaces
(Association for the Advancement of Modelling & Simulation Techniques in Enterprises (A.M.S.E.), 2008)The brain uses the neuromuscular channels to communicate and control its external environment, however many disorders can disrupt these channels. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is one such disorder which impairs the neural ... -
Effect of blockage size on pipe vibration
(Scientific.Net, 2012-12)Circular pipes are widely used to convey goods to a desired location. Flow inside a pipe needs to be smoothed and unobstructed to ensure an optimize flow of particle. However, pipes are prone to clogging or blocking due ... -
Effect of roughness of hypo-and hyper-eutectic Al-Si piston alloy on wear characteristics under lubrication
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)The tribological behavior of tow Al-Si alloys under the influence of surface roughness average was investigated for the present study. The silicon content of these alloys ranged 10 and 16-wt% Si, and includes hypoeutectic ... -
Effect of sintering time on the properties of LaYO3 doped with ZrO2 solid electrolyte
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)LaYO3 doped-ZrO2ceramic with the composition La0.95Zr0.05YO3+δ was prepared via the solid state reaction. The samples were sintered at 1450 °C and sintering times in range of 6-15 hours have been varied for both doped and ... -
