  • Fire safety systems in large buildings are likely to be complex and may be designed independently of other systems. This means that the interactions and interfaces between the fire safety systems and between the environmental control systems and the fire safety systems may not be carried out properly. Many large, recent buildings have many technological component systems that are used for the control of the environment within the building. Because of the "special" nature of the fire safety systems there is little consideration is given to the possibility systems with a dual function. However, many of the functions of fire safety systems are extensions of systems that provide the day to day control over the internal environment. The present world-wide trend towards the establishment of performance codes, and regulations, will enable the functional design of all systems and thereby allow closer integration of the "ordinary" and "special" systems. Some aspects of the functional and performance characteristics of systems in buildings are introduced and discussed. Special reference is made to the contributions of the systems to the minimisation of fire damage.e minimisation of fire damage.

  • In this paper, we consider the capacity improvement of systems exploiting dual-polarized antennas for two-user transmission. To this end, we analyze the upper bounds of ergodic capacities for multicast and unicast data services in the systems, and propose the condition for adjusting the complex cross-polarization discriminations (XPDs) to maximize the ergodic capacities. In addition, we present the adjustment condition of the complex XPDs that can achieve spectral efficiencies close to the maximum ergodic capacities with lower system complexity. Lastly simulation results demonstrate that the systems using the proposed conditions can obtain higher spectral efficiencies than the ones employing different adjustment conditions including the exiting adjustment condition.

  • 3D geometric modeling has a lot of advantages in the field of design and manufacturing. Many manufacturing processes and production lines are using 3D geometric modeling technique. These help reduce the cost and time for manufacturing. The purpose of this study is the realization of a 3D cutting shape for an H-Beam used in ships and ocean plants. The complex 3D cutting shapes could be represented by using the boolean operation of basic figures. Graphic functions with parameters were used to simply define the basic figures. The developed system can show the complex cutting shape of an H-beam simply and quickly. This system can be utilized for the automatic cutting system for an H-beam.

  • Decision support systems are a key focus of research on developing control rooms to aid operators in making reliable decisions and reducing incidents caused by human errors. For this purpose, models of complex systems can be developed to diagnose causes or consequences for specific alarms. Models applied in safety systems of complex and safety-critical systems require rigorous and reliable model building and testing. Multilevel flow modeling is a qualitative and discrete method for diagnosing faults and has previously only been validated by subjective and qualitative means. To ensure reliability during operation, this work aims to synthesize a procedure to measure model performance according to diagnostic requirements. A simple procedure is proposed for validating and evaluating the concept of multilevel flow modeling. For this purpose, expert statements, dynamic process simulations, and pilot plant experiments are used for validation of simple multilevel flow modeling models of a hydrocyclone unit for oil removal from produced water.

  • The data in automation and control systems can be achieved not only from different field devices but also from different OPC (OLE for Process Control) servers. However, current OPC clients can only read and decode the simple data from OPC servers. They will have some problems to acquire structured data and exchange the structured data. In addition to the large network control systems, the OPC clients can read, write, and subscribe to thousands of data points from/to OPC servers. Due to that, the most important factor for building a high performance and scalable industrial control system is the ability to transfer the process data between server and client in the most efficient and fastest way. In order to solve these problems, we propose a means to implement the OPC DA (Data Access) server supporting the OPC complex data, so that the OPC DA clients are able to read and decode any type of data from OPC servers. We also propose a method for caching the process data in large industrial control systems to overcome the limitation of performance of the pure OPC DA system. The performance analysis and discussion indicate that the proposed system has an acceptable performance and is feasible in order for applying to real-time industrial systems today.

  • Our world has become an increasingly complex place in which, as individuals, We are very dependent on other people and upon organizations. An event in some distant part of the globe can rapidly and significantly affect the quality of life in our home country. This increasing interdependence, on both a national and international scale, has led us to create systems which can respond immediately to these systems are operating all around us in military, civil, commercial and industrial fields. The electronic computre is at the heart of many such systems, but the role of telecommunications is no less important. As we proceed through the 1980s, there will be a further convergence between the technologies of computing and telecommunications. We cannot doubt that the economic and social impact of these concepts will be very significant. Already. advanced systems of communication are affecting both the layman and the technician. Complex functions are being performed by people using advanced terminals which are intended to be as easy to use as the conventional telephone.

  • The main task of agro-industrial production is to provide the population with food products for the production of which energy is expended in the form of electricity, technical means, fuels and lubricants, mineral fertilizers, etc. Accordingly, we have developed a concept and general methodological principles for the analysis of ecological and biotechnical systems in animal husbandry, it makes it possible to simulate the influence of various factors on the energy and ecological efficiency of systems, to compare and search for energy-saving modes and technologies. General methodological principles have been developed for the analysis of energy efficiency and environmental safety of agricultural ecological and biotechnical systems, which are based on the definition of the bioenergy efficiency coefficient, the quantitative expression of which is the ratio of energy accumulated in products to the total energy consumption for its production. This makes it possible to model with sufficient accuracy the influence of various factors on the energy and environmental efficiency of the system, to compare and search for energy-saving modes and technologies in order to find and select the most energy efficient ones to increase the energy efficiency of the complex.

  • For the success of system development, it is necessary to systematically manage the requirements that are the basis of system development and its verification results. In order to follow the principles of SE(Systems Engineering)-based V&V(Verification&Validation) process, requirements can be managed by securing the requirements and their establishments, design compliances, and verification compliances according to the system development lifecycle. Especially, in a large-complex system research and development project, such as a space launch vehicle development project, many participants establish, verify, and validate numerous requirements together during the project. Therefore, logical and systematic requirements management, including guarantee of data integrity, change history, and traceability, is very important for multiple participants to utilize numerous requirements together without errors. This paper introduces the practical requirements and verification management for the requirements-based development process in the space launch vehicle development project.

  • It is significant to predict the performance degradation of complex electromechanical systems. Among the existing performance degradation prediction models, belief rule base (BRB) is a model that deal with quantitative data and qualitative information with uncertainty. However, when analyzing dynamic systems where observable indicators change frequently over time and working conditions, the traditional belief rule base (BRB) can not adapt to frequent changes in working conditions, such as the prediction of aeroengine performance degradation considering working condition. For the sake of settling this problem, this paper puts forward a new hidden belief rule base (HBRB) prediction method, in which the performance of aeroengines is regarded as hidden behavior, and operating conditions are used as observable indicators of the HBRB model to describe the hidden behavior to solve the problem of performance degradation prediction under different times and operating conditions. The performance degradation prediction case study of turbofan aeroengine simulation experiments proves the advantages of HBRB model, and the results testify the effectiveness and practicability of this method. Furthermore, it is compared with other advanced forecasting methods. The results testify this model can generate better predictions in aspects of accuracy and interpretability.
