Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines offer some advantages over conventional radial flux machines for the case of a limited space in the axial direction, such as high torque density, compact structure, and modular design ability. They, therefore, are increasingly used in wind power and electrical vehicles. This paper focuses on developing an effective analytical model and equivalent auto-finite element method (FEM), including rotor linear motion for the design of axial flux permanent magnet generators in vertical axis wind turbines. The initial design of a 1.35 kW-AFPM generator with an outer double rotor and double layer concentrated windings is based on analytical equations, and then it is refined using equivalent time-stepping transient FEM, including rotor linear motion to calculate voltage, electromagnetic force, and torque. The automatic generation of an equivalent transient 2D-FEM model to replace a time-consuming 3D-FEM model is investigated. As a consequence, the influence of slotting the effect on a 1.35 kW-AFPM machine’s performances, such as air gap flux density, internal voltage, and cogging torque, is announced.

Mechanism design, a fundamental course of the Department of Design, presents a significant challenge in learning product design. To address this issue, problem-based learning (PBL) was applied to teaching the “tree-climbing mechanism.” In the course, students designed and constructed a gear-based phone holder, assembled and evaluated a linkage mechanism using LEGO, designed and prototyped a tree-climbing mechanism through hands-on modeling, and tested the tree-climbing mechanism with handcrafted models or LEGO, incorporating batteries and motors. In each subtopic, students leveraged the department’s digital fabrication equipment and workshop to create functional prototypes. The instructor provided foundational knowledge of mechanisms to guide students to relevant resources and adapt the course content based on student reflections and assessments.

In this study, a fuzzy-logic-based decision support model is developed to predict the fatigue life of load-bearing system elements such as torque arm. Traditional methods for fatigue life prediction are mostly based on certain mathematical expressions and fixed parameters and do not adequately take into account the uncertainties caused by many factors such as material structure, surface condition, loading pattern and heat treatment. In order to overcome these deficiencies, the fuzzy logic method is preferred. The model is based on a fuzzy logic system and predicts outputs according to specific input conditions using rules derived from expert knowledge and experience. The input parameters of the model are material type, surface hardness, maximum applied stress level, and type of heat treatment. Although these parameters can be expressed numerically in the classical sense, the relationship between them is often imprecise and based on experience and engineering interpretation. Therefore, a more realistic and flexible prediction model has been created with the linguistic variables and rule-based approach of fuzzy logic.

This study focuses on the possibility of cleaning of industrial wastewater with catalytically active magnetic nanoparticles. Cobalt ferrite synthesized by the co-precipitation method was used, as prepared or after surface modification with a silica precursor. Electronic absorption spectra were recorded and analyzed to obtain the phenol degrading rate for various experimental design variants. Treating with pristine magnetic nanoparticles under simultaneous exposure to ultraviolet radiation resulted in similar degrading rates for 4 g/L and 8 g/L pristine nanoparticles, while, for silanized nanoparticles, the degrading rates were slightly increased. Along with ultraviolet irradiation and magnetic nanoparticles, hydrogen peroxide was also added, which led to significant enhancement of phenol degradation, for both pristine and silanized nanoparticles. It is proposed that photo-Fenton processes, triggered by metal ions at the nanoparticle surface and water photolysis and sustained by hydrogen peroxide decomposition, occurred to gradually decompose phenol to simpler compounds.

Cupola furnaces rank among the oldest melting technologies in steelmaking, relying predominantly on coke as the primary fuel. In this study, a detailed energy analysis was conducted on a cupola unit used for gray and ductile iron production. Energy and thermal analyses were performed on the furnace to improve efficiency and minimize energy losses in the system. Computational simulations with an equation solving program quantified an exhaust-gas heat loss of 1.5 Gigajoules. To recover this waste heat, a heat exchanger was proposed to preheat the incoming combustion air. Numerical simulations of the modified system demonstrate a 3% increase in overall furnace efficiency and a reduction of about ten percent of coke per charge, equivalent to 716 kg per day for the unit under evaluation.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a forklift hydraulic system utilizing an open-center configuration equipped with unloading (safety-overflow) valves and an emergency lowering mechanism. The hydraulic system includes an external gear pump, double-acting power cylinders, hydraulic distributors, and control valves. A comprehensive approach is undertaken to select system components based on catalog data and to model the flow rate, required torque, and power characteristics of the pump, along with load handling performance as a function of cylinder dimensions and hydraulic pressure. System behavior under various operating conditions is simulated using Automation Studio, enabling performance optimization and fault response assessment. The inclusion of unloading valves and an emergency button enhances system safety by enabling controlled pressure relief and emergency actuation. The impact of thermal effects, filter efficiency, and reservoir design on hydraulic fluid integrity is also addressed. This study aims to improve reliability, efficiency, and safety in hydraulic forklift systems while supporting informed design decisions using simulation-driven methodologies.

The process of extrusion is a part of many modern manufacturing technologies that are applied in various industrial productions. In the food industry, the process of extrusion is used to produce popular foods such as cereal mixes, confectionery products, pet foods, etc. The advantages of extrusion technology are continuously applied in many studies in order to develop foods with more significant functional properties that could be produced in a time-effective and cost-effective way. In recent years, computer vision has become one of the preferred technologies in the development of new methods for quality control of food product production. This paper proposes a system for the evaluation of the quality parameters of extruded foods using a computer vision method. This system combines hardware and software modules that are developed for the discussed topic. A justification of the proposed system is provided on the basis of an experiment using extruded corn snacks made with different ingredients.

Traditional high-utility itemset (HUI) mining methods tend to overestimate utility for long itemsets, leading to biased results. High average-utility itemset (HAUI) mining addresses this problem by normalizing utility with itemset length. However, uniform utility thresholds fail to account for varying item importance. Recently, HAUI mining with multiple minimum utility thresholds (MMU) has been used for flexible utility evaluation. While the generalized HAUIM (GHAUIM) algorithm performs well, it requires two database scans and is limited to static datasets. Therefore, we developed a novel tree-based method that scans the database only once to improve efficiency by reducing storage and eliminating costly join operations. Additionally, pruning strategies and incremental updates were introduced to enhance scalability. The developed method outperformed GHAIM in efficiency.

Quick User Datagram Protocol Internet Connection (QUIC) is a modern transport protocol leveraging the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to improve latency, security, and mobility. In this study, we analyzed QUIC traffic by uploading a 10 MB file under varied maximum transmission unit (MTU), bandwidth, and segment size conditions. Interarrival times (IAT) at both client and server were captured and analyzed using ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) clustering and Markov modelling. Transition matrices and eigenvalue spectra revealed steady states, convergence behavior, and spectral gaps. The results showed that parameter variations significantly affected the traffic state diversity and flow dynamics, optimizing QUIC performance in real-world deployments.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the structural features and biomechanical functions of modern passive and semi-active knee prostheses, followed by comparative analysis. Based on findings from scientific literature and engineering practice, a new conceptual knee prosthesis was developed using a modular design approach. The proposed structure was modeled in SolidWorks, and its kinematic behavior and structural integrity were quantitatively evaluated through finite element analysis (FEA). The knee module was specifically designed to integrate with previously developed ankle and foot prosthetic components via an adapter interface. This modular approach allows the prosthesis to be configured according to the individual clinical needs of the patient. Simulation results confirmed that the proposed design meets the requirements for motion accuracy and structural reliability. In future work, the physical prototype will be manufactured using 3D printing with PLA plastic as an initial test material, followed by fabrication with high-strength engineering plastics or metal alloys. This study represents a critical early step toward the development of a fully functional, adaptive lower-limb prosthetic system.

We present a comparative analysis of three hybrid methodologies for transforming 3D kidney tumor segmentations of volumetric NIfTI data into highly accurate network representations. Exploiting the KiTS23 dataset, we evaluate edge-preserving reconstruction pipelines integrating anisotropic diffusion, multiscale Gaussian filtering and KNN-based network optimisation. Model 1 uses Gaussian smoothing with Marching Cubes, while Model 2 uses spline interpolation and Perona-Malik filtering for improved resolution. Model 3 extends this structure with normal sensitive vertex smoothing to preserve critical anatomical interfaces. Quantitative metrics (Dice score, HD95) demonstrated the advantage of Model 3, which achieved a 22% reduction in the Hausdorff distance error rate compared to conventional methods while maintaining segmentation accuracy (Dice > 0.92). The proposed unsupervised pipeline bridges the gap between clinical interpretability and computational accuracy, providing a robust infrastructure for further applications in surgical planning and deep learning-based classification.

Concrete is a widely used construction material. This research investigates the effect of adding tree branch waste and stone dust as substitutes for coarse and fine aggregates on concrete’s physical and mechanical properties. The results show that these additives significantly impact weight and compressive strength. The weight comparison for 10% additive concrete was 7.28 kg at 7 and 14 days, while for 20% additive concrete, it was 7.02 kg at 7 days and 7.06 kg at 14 days. Normal concrete weighed 7.50 kg at 7 days and 7.66 kg at 14 days. The planned compressive strength (K250 or F’c: 20 MPa) for 28 days was met, with samples containing 10% and 20% additives exceeding the planned strength. However, increased use of these materials led to a reduction in compressive strength. Therefore, the addition of tree branches and stone dust should be limited to 10%, as the highest compressive strength was obtained at this percentage. This research suggests that using tree branch waste and stone dust as partial substitutes for aggregates can reduce concrete’s weight while maintaining its strength. Limiting the addition to 10% is recommended for optimal results.

This study explores the mechanical characteristics of 3D-printed specimens fabricated using TPU-95A filament, with a focus on the influence of key printing variables—temperature, speed, and layer height—on tensile strength, toughness, and surface hardness. Through systematic testing, the tensile evaluation revealed a peak tensile strength of 329.02 kgf/cm2 and toughness of 1.56 under conditions of elevated temperatures and optimized layer configurations. Similarly, the hardness assessment indicated a maximum average value of 74.9 Shore A, emphasizing the substantial effect of process parameters on material integrity and resilience. A detailed variance analysis confirmed the pivotal roles of temperature and layer height in enhancing mechanical properties. Using a statistical optimization approach, optimal printing conditions were identified, demonstrating that higher temperatures, moderate speeds, and reduced layer heights significantly improve the balance between strength, flexibility, and durability. These findings contribute to the development of tailored fabrication strategies, offering practical insights for applications where precision and mechanical reliability are critical.

The heart is essential to human life, so it is important to protect it and understand any kind of damage it can have. All the diseases related to hearts leads to heart failure. To help address this, a tool for predicting survival is needed. This study explores the use of several classification models for forecasting heart failure outcomes using the Heart Failure Clinical Records dataset. The outcome contrasts a deep learning (DL) model known as the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with many machine learning models, including Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), and Naïve Bayes (NB). Various data processing techniques, like standard scaling and Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), are used to improve prediction accuracy. The CNN model performs best by achieving 99%. In comparison, the best-performing ML model, Naïve Bayes, reaches 92.57%. This shows that deep learning provides better predictions of heart failure, making it a useful tool for early detection and better patient care.

This study describes the creation of an intelligent surveillance system based on deep learning that aims to improve real-time security monitoring by automatically identifying suspicious activity. By using cutting-edge computer vision techniques, the suggested system overcomes the drawbacks of conventional surveillance that depends on human observation to spot irregularities in public spaces. The system successfully completes motion detection, trajectory analysis, and emotion recognition by using the YOLOv8 model for object detection and DeepFace for facial emotion analysis. Roboflow is used for dataset annotation, model training with optimized parameters, and visualization of object trajectories and detection confidence. The findings show that abnormal behaviors can be accurately identified, with noteworthy observations made about the emotional expressions and movement patterns of those deemed to be threats. Even though the system performs well in real time, issues like misclassification, model explainability, and a lack of diversity in the dataset still exist. Future research will concentrate on integrating multimodal data fusion, deeper models, and temporal sequence analysis to further enhance detection robustness and system intelligence.
