A geometrically asymmetric trapezoidal fin with variable fin base thickness and height is optimized based on the fixed fin base height using a one-dimensional analytic method. The temperature profile along the normalized X position in the fin is presented. For the fixed fin base height, the optimum heat loss, fin length and efficiency as a function of inside fluid convection characteristic number, fin base thickness and height, fin shape factor, convection characteristic numbers ratio and ambient convection characteristic number are represented. One of the results shows that the effect of fin base height and ambient convection characteristic number on the optimum values is remarkable.

A convective, radiating rectangular fin is analysed by using the one dimensional analytic method. Instead of constant fin base temperature, heat conduction from the inner wall to the fin base is considered as the fin base boundary condition. Radiation heat transfer is approximately linearized. For different fin tip length, temperature profile along the normalized fin position is shown. The fin tip length for 98% of the maximum heat loss with the variations of fin base length and radiation characteristic number is listed. The maximum heat loss is presented as a function of the fin base length, radiation characteristic number and Biot number.

In the paper, an algorithm called a Constraint algorithm is proposed to solve the fan-in problem occurred in ADC encoding circuits. The Flash ADC architecture uses a double-base number system (DBNS). The DBNS has known to represent the multi-dimensional logarithmic number system (MDLNS) used for implementing the multiplier accumulator architecture of FIR filter in digital signal processing (DSP) applications. The authors use the DBNS with the base 2 and 3 to represent binary output of ADC. A symmetric map is analyzed first, and then asymmetric map is followed to provide addition read DBNS to DSP circuitry. The simulation results are shown for the Double-Base Integer Encoder (DBIE) of the 6-bit ADC to demonstrate an effectiveness of the Constraint algorithm, using $0.18{\mu}\;m$ CMOS technology. The DBIE’s processing speed of the ADC is fast compared to the FAT tree encoder circuit by 0.95 GHz.

In this study, the efficiency of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and genetic expression programming (GEP) in predicting the effects of infill walls on base reactions and roof drift of reinforced concrete frames were investigated. Current standards generally consider weight and fundamental period of structures in predicting base reactions and roof drift of structures by neglecting numbers of floors, bays, shear walls and infilled bays. Number of stories, number of bays in x and y directions, ratio of shear wall areas to the floor area, ratio of bays with infilled walls to total number bays and existence of open story were selected as parameters in GEP and ANFIS modeling. GEP and ANFIS have been widely used as alternative approaches to model complex systems. The effects of these parameters on base reactions and roof drift of RC frames were studied using 3D finite element method on 216 building models. Results obtained from 3D FEM models were used to in training and testing ANFIS and GEP models. In ANFIS and GEP models, number of floors, number of bays, ratio of shear walls and ratio of infilled bays were selected as input parameters, and base reactions and roof drifts were selected as output parameters. Results showed that the ANFIS and GEP models are capable of accurately predicting the base reactions and roof drifts of RC frames used in the training and testing phase of the study. The GEP model results better prediction compared to ANFIS model.

A geometrically asymmetric trapezoidal fin is analyzed using the one-dimensional analytic method. Heat loss and thermal resistance are represented as a function of the fin base thickness, base height, fm shape factor, inside fluid convection characteristic number, convection characteristic numbers ratio, fm length and ambient convection characteristic number. The relationship between the fin base height and the shape factor for equal amounts of heat loss is presented. One of the results shows that the variations of the fm base thickness and the inside fluid convection characteristic number give no effect on the thermal resistance.

A thermally asymmetric straight rectangular fin is analysed and optimized using the two-dimensional separation of variables method. The optimum heat loss is presented as a function of bottom to top Biot number ratio, fin base length and top Biot number. Decreasing rate of the optimum fin length with the increase of the fin base length is listed. The optimum fin tip length is shown as a function of bottom to top Biot number ratio, fin base length and tip to top Biot number ratio. One of the results shows that the optimum heat loss and the actual optimum fin length decrease while the optimum fin tip length increases as the fin base length increases.

The modern digital logic technology does not yet satisfy the speed requirements of real-time DSP circuits due to synchronized operation of multiplication and accumulation. This operation degrades DSP performance. Therefore, the double-base number system (DBNS) has emerged in DSP system as an alternative methodology because of fast multiplication and hardware simplicity. In this paper, authors propose a novel multiplication architecture. One operand is an output of a flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in DBNS format, while the other operand is a coefficient in the IEEE standard floating-point number format. The DBNS digital output from ADC is produced through a new double base number encoder (DBNE). The multiplied output is in the format of the IEEE standard floating-point number (FPNS). The proposed circuits process multiplication and conversion together. Compared to a typical multiplier that uses the FPNS, the proposed multiplier also consumes 45% less gates, and 44% faster than the FPNS multiplier on Spartan-3 FPGA board. The design is verified with FIR filter applications.

A rectangular fin with a fluid in the inside wall is analyzed and optimized using a two-dimensional analytical method. The influence of the fluid convection characteristic number in the inside wall and the fin base thickness on the fin base temperature is listed. For the fixed fin volumes, the maximum heat loss and the corresponding optimum fin effectiveness and dimensions as a function of the fin base thickness, convection characteristic numbers ratio, convection characteristic number over the fin, fluid convection characteristic number in the inside wall, and the fin volume are represented. One of the results shows that both the optimum heat loss and the corresponding fin effectiveness increase as the fin base thickness decreases.

The double-base number system has been used in digital signal processing systems for over a decade because of its fast inner product operation and low hardware complexity. This letter proposes an innovative multiplier architecture using hybrid operands. The multiplier can easily be linked to flash analog-to-digital converters or digital systems through a double-base number encoder (DBNE) for realtime signal processing. The design of the DBNE and the multiplier enable faster digital signal processing and require less hardware resources compared to the binary processing method.
