This paper presents a control system design methodology for the drill-string rotary drive and draw-works hoist system aimed at mature drilling rig retrofitting.The rotary drive is equipped with an active damping Bar Soap speed control system featuring a proportional-integral speed controller readily available within modern controlled electrical dri
To predict the performance of nuclear fuels and materials, irradiated fuel plates must be characterized efficiently and accurately in highly radioactive environments.The characterization must take place remotely and work in settings largely inhospitable to modern digital instrumentation.Characterization techniques based on non-contacting laser sens
In many ways, military forces using advanced technologies have been able to overcome a number of the inherent and traditional challenges posed by physical geography.However, geography continues to play a significant role in military planning and operations in two areas that have received little attention in the literature, namely airborne operation
Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) aims to classify classes that do not appear during training.Recent state-of-the-art approaches rely on generative models, which use correlating semantic embeddings to synthesize unseen classes visual features; however, these approaches ignore the semantic and visual relevance, and visual features synthesized by
