Thermal comfort based fuzzy logic control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Most heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control systems are considered as temperature control problems. In this work, the predicted mean vote (PMV) is used to control the indoor temperature of a space by setting it at a point where the PMV ...

Motion of a Steer-by-Wire Small-Wheel Bicycle running straight and turning

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2019
Currently, personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) are attracting attention as intermediate- or short-range transportation. Bicycles are familiar PMVs that are also environmentally friendly and convenient. A small-wheel bicycle saves space and is easy to carry.

Thermophysiological Comfort of Surgeons and Patient in an Operating Room Based on PMV-PPD and PHS Indexes

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
There are different actors in an operating room (OR), who have controversial requirements for the indoor thermal environment. While the patient is at risk of perioperative hypothermia, the surgeons are in a state of thermophysiological discomfort.

Energy Performance And Long-Term Evaluation Of Internal Thermal Comfort Of An Office Building With Different Kinds Of Glazing Systems And Window Sizes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Although the presence of large window surfaces could be preferable during the heating season when solar gains through the glazed components can overcome heating losses from the same surfaces, during the cooling season more attention has to be paid in ...

Reducing Air-Conditioning System Energy Using a PMV Index [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The control system of central air-conditioning, based on PMV, not only improves thermal comfort but also reduces system energy consumption. A new thermal comfort degree softsensor model is built via use of the CMAC neural network nonlinear calibration ...

Photochemical Reaction Discovery Enabled by the Dynamic Speciation of Copper Complexes

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A strategy for accelerated photochemical reaction discovery is reported that harnesses the dynamic speciation of copper complexes, driven by their labile metal–ligand bonds. This platform simplifies reaction screening by combining an earth‐abundant copper(II) salt with commercially available ligands, which reversibly generate multiple catalytic species
