Towards an analysis of shear suspension flows using radial basis functions

In this paper, radial basis functions are utilised for numerical prediction of the bulk properties of particulate suspensions under simple shear conditions. The suspending fluid is Newtonian and the suspended particles are rigid. Results obtained are compared well with those based on finite elements in the literature

Design and implementation of an intelligent USB peripheral controller

This paper presents the design and implementation of an intelligent, re-programmable device that is capable of au-tomatically detecting USB peripherals on insertion and per-forming various tasks accordingly. Examples include the au-tomatic transfer of data between pen drives or the automatic printing of a file located on a pen drive. The performance of the system was analyzed and results for the execution time and CPU utilization of the programs performing the tasks were obtained. A comparison was made with the same pro-grams running on a laptop, which was set as a benchmark.peer-reviewe
