Solution of this problem needs the development of technique for arriving to the highest accuracy for recognition. Some of techniques depend on human personal image. This research presents new technique for human face recognition. Two tests are executed for the<br /> image. The first test depends on splitting the image vertically into two parts (left part and right part) for evaluating the seven moments for each part to find similarity and difference between these parts. The second test depend on taking the image in different cases such as (image rotation and turn the angle of photo with different values) ,<br /> extract the characteristics( such as eyes, nose, and mouth) of these images in these cases ,then compute the seven moments for these characteristics and then finding the similarity and difference between these characteristics .https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_57058_1fcde01b69ff4b500614586d1231236d.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900301120120601The Effect of Citric Acid Concentration on the Corrosion Rate of Aluminum Alloy Type (AA 7001)186118695705910.30684/etj.30.11.2ENHaitham Yahya AbdulMajeedJournal Article20120601The main purpose of this research is to study the concentration influence of citric acid on the corrosion rate of aluminum alloy type (AA 7001), samples of aluminum alloy were merged in different concentrations of the acid at various durations, the results showed that the less corrosion rate was at 25% concentration after 120 day and the higher rate was at 10% after 30 day.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_57059_1bfe950ccc5695a1d088d166d5658449.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900301120120601perimental investigation of water vapor-bubble pump characteristics and its mathematical model reconstruction187018855722310.30684/etj.30.11.3ENAbduwadood Salman ShihabAkeel Mohammed Ali MoradJournal Article20120601In this research, an experimental test has been conducted to study the pumping<br /> characteristics of a vapor-bubble pump based on water properties. It also includes a<br /> trial based on the obtained experimental data to correct and reconstruct the<br /> previously developed theoretical mathematical model of this bubble pump. The<br /> mathematical model that was developed for general fluid properties can be used<br /> after modification to represent the actual behavior of the water vapor-bubble pump.<br /> Most of the bubble pump configuration parameters which may affect its<br /> performance are experimentally investigated. Three different inner tube diameters<br /> (8, 10, 12 mm) with five submergence ratios (0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6) are tested.<br /> The results showed that the bubble pump capacity increases with the thermal<br /> energy processed and continue to increase up to a maximum value then begin to<br /> decline. Each tube diameter has its own maximum discharge; the bigger tube<br /> diameter gives higher maximum discharge which is in turn increases with the<br /> increasing of submergence ratio. The experimental results of the pumping capacity<br /> are compared with those obtained from the mathematical model .Then the<br /> mathematical model is reconstructed by adding a correcting factor (K). This factor<br /> is necessary to account for the discrepancies that observed between the<br /> experimental and the theoretical results. The margin of error between the results of<br /> the resulting corrected mathematical model and the results of the practical test was<br /> acceptable and it can use this new model to analyze the performance of the bubble<br /> pump.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_57223_c6a26c278eb84c5f15da93678ff16cad.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900301120120601Fatigue Life Prediction at Elevated Temperature under Low – High and High – Low Loading Based OnMechanical Properties Damage Model188618965722610.30684/etj.30.11.4ENZainab K.

RashadJournal Article20120601Conventional Proportional Integral (PI) controller of A.C drives are widely used in industry and many other applications, because of its simplicity, but it does not give high degree of speed control of induction motor. There are many types of controller: Proportional (P), Proportional Integral (PI), Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), and Intelligent controllers. The intelligent controller becomes a powerful tool for control nonlinear system in present time. This paper proposes the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System as an intelligent controller of the induction motor. In addition, the PI controller is presented in this paper as a conventional controller. The mathematical epresentation and simulation of the 3-phase induction motor is represented too. Also, a 3-phase voltage-fed Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) inverter is demonstrated and simulated. The overall system for both PI and ANFIS controllers are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK program. The comparison of simulation results between the conventional PI and the proposed<br /> ANFIS performances shows that: the ANFIS controller gives superior performance than the conventional PI controller for wide range of speed variation.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_57227_5521112a4943812e418d1871d081ecd4.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900301120120601A Novel Deployable Reflector using a Lazy Tong Truss191219245723210.30684/etj.30.11.6ENNabil Noor SwadiJournal Article20120601In this paper, a new concept for a deployable parabolic reflector used in SAR<br /> satellite has a support based on a two-dimensional lazy tong mechanism is<br /> proposed. Two sets of lazy tong mechanisms are used, one at each side, to support<br /> the structure through its operation (deploying and folding). The deployment of the<br /> structure is controlled by the vertical inward movement of the ends of the first two<br /> bars in each mechanism. This movement is directed by the strain energy stored in<br /> the helical springs that work at those places. A preliminary design of the quarter<br /> scale model of the suggested reflector in deployed configuration is modeled and<br /> analyzed using ANSYS software program. The value of the maximum deflection<br /> and Von Mises stress due to effect of inertia load only are obtained for the<br /> composite material (T300/Hexcel 8552) of the reflective surface and hard<br /> aluminum alloys (2024-T3) of the truss. They were 0.465 mm and 23.3 MPa<br /> respectively. The linear buckling behavior of the structure is as well studied. The<br /> first eigenvalue factor was about 19.639. The theoretical total deploying time and<br /> velocity is considered and their magnitudes are about 0.14 sec. and 0.46 m/s<br /> respectively. The packaging volume was about 1/6th of deploying volume. The total<br /> estimated mass of this quarter scale reflector was approximately 2.5 kg.https://etj.uotechnology.edu.iq/article_57232_7d5d6a7b7d08e5e5ac0fc506f092e842.pdfUniversity of Technology-IraqEngineering and Technology Journal1681-6900301120120601Product of Two Fuzzy Normed Spaces and its Completion192519345723310.30684/etj.30.11.7ENRaghad Ibrahem.SabreJournal Article20120601The aim of this paper is to prove that the Cartesian product of two complete fuzzy normed space is again a complete fuzzy normed space.

Two types of lasers were used; CO2 laser (10.6μm<br /> & 25W) and pulse Nd:YAG laser (1st harmonic 1064nm & 2nd harmonic 532nm, 1J).<br /> Two different materials were used; pure silver (0.4mm thickness) and beech wood<br /> (3mm thickness). The distance between laser beam and the material was 10cm for CO2<br /> laser and 6.5cm for Nd:YAG laser. Theoretically the melting point of wood is 9345.8<br /> °C. But when reaching the temperature of 300 °C, the auto ignition property will ignite<br /> the wood, even in a vacuum. The melting point of pure silver is 961oC.
