Lithium-ion batteries are promising candidates for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Batteries that exceed the requirements for HEV, as set by the Partnership for
For a wireless LAN or a cluster of nodes in an ad hoc wireless network, multicast transmissions from a controlling station must be acknowledged by the nodes
In recent years, the IEEE has been revising the now expired IEEE standards on pulse techniques and definitions. This revision includes adding and deleting
The accuracy of particle image velocimetry measurements in polydisperse sprays is investigated using simulations. The objective of the study is to determine if
