Abstract: Laser hammering (LH) is a process used in the manufacturing of butterfly optoelectronic packages to correct laser-to-fiber misalignment that occurs when the semiconductor lasers are welded in ...

Abstract: Soil water content and dry density are two important properties for compaction quality control. This paper presents a new method for determining soil water content and dry density using a single time domain reflectometry ...

Abstract: A novel implementation of “manufacturing” thermal and electrical demand to match power plant design in the context of an industrial park is studied. The novelty of the “energy park” concept introduces several areas requiring ...

Abstract: Heat transfer from a discrete heat source to multiple, normally impinging, confined air jets was experimentally investigated. The jets issued from short, square-edged orifices with still-developing ...

Abstract: Steel jacketing has been used extensively in the United States to retrofit seismically deficient bridge columns. This procedure, which consists of encasing a RC column in a steel jacket, is effective in providing a ductile ...

Abstract: During times of thunderstorm activity, the power utility serving metropolitan New York enters a potentially costly ?thunderstorm watch? mode of operation which is designed to prevent a major power outage caused by lightning. ...

Abstract: The waveforms from time domain reflectometry (TDR) tests on soil depend on the temperature of the soil being tested. This study provides a discussion of, and the basis for, temperature corrections for the parameters measured ...
