  • A computer-based design history tool

    Creator:
    Chen, Ai-hua
    Abstract:
    In current practice, design documentation often fails to support the activities of design understanding, communication, and redesign. A Design History Tool has been developed to improve current design documentation. This tool is a computerized design history that represents and plays back important information generated during the process of designing a...

  • Robustness in a distributed storage server for engineering design data with versions

    Creator:
    Ecklund, Denise J.
    Abstract:
    Traditional database management systems have been deemed unsuitable for use in the Computer Aided Engineering environment Object-oriented data models with project management features have been proposed as an alternative. The Distributed Hypothetical Storage System is intended to serve as the underlying storage mechanism for an object-oriented data model. The storage...

  • An empirical study on the process of mechanical design

    Creator:
    Stauffer, Larry A.
    Abstract:
    An information processing model of the problem-solving performance of mechanical designers is presented for four design tasks: conceptual assembly design, layout component design, detail component design, and catalog selection. These tasks are organized into six kinds of segments called episodes, which describe the goal structure of the designer while performing...

  • Mechanical design history content : the information requests of design engineers

    Creator:
    Kuffner, Tom A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis reports on research conducted to determine the information which should be included in a mechanical design history. This is part of a larger research effort aimed at developing a computer tool for storing and replaying mechanical design history information. Three question-asking protocols were conducted to determine what information...

  • AquaFarm : simulation and decision-support software for aquaculture facility design and management planning

    Creator:
    Ernst, Douglas H.
    Abstract:
    A simulation and decision-support software product for aquaculture facility design and management planning is described (AquaFarm, Oregon State University©), including comprehensive documentation and applications to practical problems. AquaFarm provides (1) simulation of physical, chemical, and biological unit processes, (2) simulation of facility and fish culture management, (3) compilation of facility...

  • The design capture system : capturing back-of-the-envelope sketches

    Creator:
    Hwang, Teng-shang
    Abstract:
    A system which allows the computer to capture sketches made by a mechanical designer is described. The system not only recognizes basic features as they are sketched, but it also reasons the spatial relationships between features and builds a high level abstract representation (feature model) of the artifact. The temporal...

  • 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...

  • Taskmaster II, a versatile distributed system for control

    Creator:
    Schaal, Hans-Werner
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses a special type of a versatile, distributed control system, the Taskmaster II. It includes a detailed specification of a readily realizable Taskmaster system utilizing a layered communication among units, oriented on the ISO OSI seven layer model. The specification was developed from the analysis of previous research...

  • An Evaluation of Design and Inference in Special Topics of Group Sequential Procedures

    Creator:
    Skalland, Timothy Michael
    Abstract:
    Randomized trials are the gold standard for the clinical assessment of a new treatment compared to a placebo or standard of care. Often in clinical trials, patients are accrued sequentially rather than all at once. Thus, the data from such a trial becomes available sequentially to the researcher. Monitoring and...

  • Designed to fit : tailored technologies for medical practitioners

    Creator:
    de Brum, Silvina
    Abstract:
    Although electronic medical records systems (EMR) present promising benefits, they have not yet been widely adopted. A problem facing many EMR are that they are disruptive technologies; their complex hardware and software are not designed to account for the clinicians' characteristics and needs, thus, demanding a steep learning curve and...
