  • Test case prioritization

    Creator:
    Chu, Chengyun, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Prioritization techniques are used to schedule test cases to execute in a specific order to maximize some objective function. There are a variety of possible objective functions, such as a function that measures how quickly faults can be detected within the testing process, or a function that measures how fast...

  • Guidelines for implementing real-time process control using the PC

    Creator:
    Stanford, Clayton R.
    Abstract:
    The application of the personal computer in the area of real-time process control is investigated. Background information is provided regarding factory automation and process control. The current use of the PC in the factory for data acquisition is presented along with an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages associated with...

  • Three strategies for tree bucking at the harvest site: consequences for the sawmill

    Creator:
    Acker, Timothy A.
    Abstract:
    The timber shortage in the Pacific Northwest is forcing sawmill owners to improve the competitiveness of their harvesting and processing operations. A computer simulation and financial statement analysis were used to compare the processing efficiency and profitability of three bucking strategies: log cost minimization (traditional 40-foot preferred-length logs); hauling length...

  • Optimal bucking : two trials with commercial OSU BUCK software

    Creator:
    Olsen, Eldon D., Stringham, Bennett, Pilkerton, Stephen J., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
    Abstract:
    Trials to achieve optimal bucking were made with updated OSU-BUCK software in an eastern and a western Oregon location during the summers of 1993 and 1994. The commercial version of the software allows tagging of each log with bar-code identification numbers and therefore provides tracking from stump to customer. Data...

  • Model flexible assembly system

    Creator:
    Ho, Chi-Sung
    Abstract:
    Increasing automation and highly flexible manufacturing processes cause increasing complexity for manufacturing system. FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) is an approach to solve this problem. Since the elements of the FMS and manufacturing process performance are closely interrelated, the application of simple modeling and emulation techniques in the planning stages for...

  • Simulation and optimization of an offshore natural gas process

    Creator:
    Chaiwanakupt, Nopasit
    Abstract:
    The principal objective of this study was to investigate process simulation and optimization of an existing offshore natural gas process which needed profitability improvements. Optimization was done using two alternative approaches: a global approach (response surface methodology) or a local approach (successive quadratic programming). The global approach was characterized by...

  • Design of high-speed summing circuitry and comparator for adaptive parallel multi-level decision feedback equalization

    Creator:
    Gao, Hairong
    Abstract:
    Multi-level decision feedback equalization (MDFE) is an effective sampled signal processing technique to remove inter-symbol interference (ISI) from disk read-back signals. Parallelism which doubles the symbol rate can be realized by utilizing the characteristic of channel response and decision feedback equalization algorithm. A mixed-signal IC implementation has been chosen for...

  • Assembly tolerance analysis in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing

    Creator:
    Tangkoonsombati, Choowong
    Abstract:
    Tolerance analysis is a major link between design and manufacturing. An assembly or a part should be designed based on its functions, manufacturing processes, desired product quality, and manufacturing cost. Assembly tolerance analysis performed at the design stage can reduce potential manufacturing and assembly problems. Several commonly used assembly tolerance...

  • Neural network control of nonlinear discrete time systems

    Creator:
    Zakrzewski, Radoslaw Romuald
    Abstract:
    The main focus of this work is on the problem of existence of nonlinear optimal controllers realizable by artificial neural networks. Theoretical justification, currently available for control applications of neural networks, is rather limited. For example, it is unclear which neural architectures are capable of performing which control tasks. This...
