  • Computer aided tolerance analysis and process selection for AutoCAD

    Creator:
    Pamulapati, Sairam V.
    Abstract:
    The fundamental objective of a design engineer in performing tolerance technology is to transform functional requirements into tolerances on individual parts based on existing data and algorithms for design tolerance analysis and synthesis. The transformation of functional requirements into tolerances must also consider the existing process capabilities and manufacturing costs...

  • An ontology-based system for representation and diagnosis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data

    Creator:
    Dendamrongvit, Thidarat
    Abstract:
    Electrocardiogram (ECG) data are stored and analyzed in different formats, devices, and computer platforms. There is a need to have an independent platform to support ECG processes among different resources for the purposes of improving the quality of health care and proliferating the results from research. Currently, ECG devices are...

  • An efficient methodology for scheduling general flexible manufacturing systems

    Creator:
    Sonthinen, Adulwit
    Abstract:
    Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) have evolved rapidly over the last decade. One important factor that influences the performance of FMS is scheduling. Scheduling in an FMS differs from that in a conventional job-shop because each operation of a job may be performed by any one of several machines. Most studies...

  • Schedule-based material requirements planning : an artificial intelligence approach

    Creator:
    Kim, Sunuk
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research project was to identify the limitations associated with schedule-based Material Requirements Planning (SBMRP) and to present a knowledge-based expert system (KBES) approach to solve these problems. In SBMRP, the basic strategy is to use backward or forward scheduling based on an arbitrary dispatching rule, such...

  • Design and implementation of a heuristic-based decision support system for nurse scheduling

    Creator:
    Sitompul, Darwin
    Abstract:
    A decision support system (DSS) for nurse scheduling in hospitals is developed and implemented on microcomputer. The system includes algorithms and databases for developing weekly work and shift patterns and combining these into working schedules for nurses for a specified time horizon, and interface modules for the user to interact...

  • Design and implementation of a system for integrating material and process selection in automated manufacturing

    Creator:
    Chen, Hsueh-Jen
    Abstract:
    Today's manufacturing environment is characterized by competition and continuous change in product and process requirements. The concept of "design for manufacturability" integrates product specifications with manufacturing capabilities by considering the design and manufacturing phases as an integrated system, evaluating the combined system during the design phase of a product ,...

  • Development of a discrete-event, object-oriented framework for network-centric simulation modeling using Java

    Creator:
    Colvin, Kurt
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this research is to develop a network-centric simulation modeling framework that can be used to build simulation models through the use of Internet-based resources. An object-oriented programming approach was used to build a Java-based modeling framework focused on modeling a semiconductor fabrication system. This research is...

  • An Expert system for flexible manufacturing system scheduling : knowledge acquisition and development

    Creator:
    Kim, Joohee
    Abstract:
    Expert systems have been suggested as a solution for difficult problems, including FMS scheduling. As one of the aspects of artificial intelligence (AI), expert systems have achieved considerable success in recent years in medical science, chemistry, and engineering. However, building an expert system is a difficult task, the most crucial...

  • Development and comparison of two alternate display formats for an AgendaManager interface

    Creator:
    Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
    Abstract:
    Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

    Abstract:
    Modern civil commercial transport aircraft provide the means for the safest of all forms of transportation. While advanced computer technology ranging from flight management computers to warning and alerting devices contributed to flight safety significantly, it is undisputed that the flightcrew represents the most frequent primary cause factor in airline...
