Variable pathlength colorimetric spectroscopy of greases
This document proposes improvements to the ASTM D7918 method for analyzing grease color using variable path length colorimetric spectroscopy. It summarizes the limitations of the current method, which uses a fixed 1mm sample thickness that results in excessive light absorption, making many in-service grease samples appear black. The proposed improvements include using a new spectrometer and variable sample paths from 0.035" to 0.005" thickness to allow analysis of both new and used grease samples across a range of transmissions. Next steps include adapting the prototype to a standard shim set and disposable windows for consistency, and conducting a beta test with used grease samples.
Spectrophotometer
A spectrophotometer is a device that measures light intensities at different wavelengths. It works by splitting light into a spectrum and detecting intensities with a charged couple device. Key components include an illuminant, optics to direct light, a monochromator to split light, and a photodetector. There are single and dual beam types, with dual beam minimizing errors by comparing sample and reference beams. Calibration ensures repeatability, and spectrophotometers are used to measure color and help with tasks like quality control and color matching.

Deblocking Filter for Reduction of Blocking Artifacts in Video
This document presents a proposed deblocking filter algorithm to reduce blocking artifacts in video compressed with block-based coding standards like H.264/AVC. Blocking artifacts occur at block boundaries due to operations like transformation and quantization being done independently on each block. The proposed algorithm classifies regions as smooth, complex or intermediate based on pixel differences across block boundaries. It then applies different types of filtering - strong for smooth, weak for complex, and intermediate filtering for other regions. Test results on standard video sequences show the proposed algorithm improves PSNR and SSIM metrics over previous filtering methods, reducing blocking artifacts and improving subjective video quality.

Lubricating Machinery during Supply Chain Chaos
We live in a time where established approaches and schedules for lubrication are being disrupted. Supply chain issues are hitting at the heart of machinery lubrication. When its "time" to re-grease or change oil, and the lubricant we need is not available, what can we do?
Rich Wurzbach will talk about strategies that utilize oil and grease analysis and lubricant compatibility studies that are becoming necessary to navigate these challenging times, and maintain critical machinery availability without compromising performance and machine life.
Take a walk through MRG Labs and learn how test stand and advanced laboratory instrument testing is utilized to define grease compatibility. If you are not using oil or grease analysis fully today, it means that you have not been optimizing lubrication requirements for your equipment. And when you think you need a lubricant that is not available, you may find that you don't really need it after all. This live presentation will allow Q&A where you can share your current challenge, and discuss ways to overcome the broken lubricant supply chain.

New sampling tools have been developed including a slimmer sampler for hard-to-access blade bearings. Research projects have established best practices for representative grease sampling and analysis techniques to evaluate properties like consistency, wear debris, contamination, and oxidation. Analysis can identify abnormal wear conditions early to avoid costly bearing failures.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
