This paper involves a study of developing the production scheduling system in a general job shop type mechanical factory. We consider realistic situations in the job-shop environments, such as alternative machines for operation, the new kinds of processes, the machining center with the plural pallet, the operational situation of each machine during the scheduling period, occurings of urgent orders and machine breakdowns. We also propose the methodology of re-schedule. It is very fast and acceptable for real time production control system. These all functions are implemented on IBM PC and program source is written in PASCAL language.

In this paper, a fuzzy set based machine-cell formation algorithm for cellular manufacturing is presented. The fuzzy logic is emoloyed to express the degree of appropriateness when alternative machines are specified to process a part shape. For machine grouping, the similarity coefficient based approach is used. The algorithm produces efficient machine cells and part families which maximize the similarity values.

Processsive ubiquitous networks have impressed us with alternative features, divesity or security. When the diversity from small devices to large machines is in normal states, ubiquitous networks are fundamental and useful. We have developed a mobile processor dedicated to multimedia cryptography. We have focus on the multimedia cryptography by the dedicated processor.

Cellular manufacturing requires formation of machine cells that can produce families of parts with similar processing requirement. The purpose of cell formation is to create separable machine clusters and part families simultaneously. However, the cell formation process often includes the identification of exceptional elements. This paper presents cell formation method under consideration of alternative routings in FMS which consists of machines capable of multi-processing and parts which require more than one operation. We suggest theorems to calculate the maximum number of machine cell and part family which have no exceptional elements. We also develop a cell formation algorithm which is based on the suggested theorem. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed theorem and algorithm.

We consider in this article a multi-objective part-machine grouping problem in which parts have alternative process plans and expected annual demand of each part is known. This problem is characterized as optimally determining part sets and corresponding machine cells such that total sum of distance (or dissimilarity) between parts and total sum of load differences between machines are simultaneously minimized. Two heuristic algorithms are proposed, and examples are given to compare the performance of the algorithms.

Tool shop of the D Heavy Industries Co.(DHI) fabricates engines for a bus, truck, small ship. In order to increase the production capacity of engines, DHI will be established the new tool shop that consists of a block line, head line, assembly line, test line and AS/RS in 1999. In order to assure the production capacity designed of the new tool shop for producing engines and improve the production process of it, it is needed to find a bottleneck process and an optimal way of allocating workloads among machines and workers to maximize the production. In a way to solve this, we model the engine fabrication process of the tool shop and analyze its performance by computer simulation. In this study, we at first identify the bottleneck processes of the engine fabrication process under the designed operation policy. Then, we derive some alternative operating policies applicable to the new tool shop of an engine, and analyze the optimal operation policy by comparing the performance of the tool shop following each alternative policy.

Recently, with the enlargement of cloud computing, virtual desktop infrastructure(VDI) can be an alternative of the existing personal computer based information environment. For the case of partially introduced VDI coexisting with personal computer environment, we suggest a virtual folder based approach to control the overall digital contents within an organization with a case of implementation. Although a centralizing device was used for storage and sharing of organization's digital contents, it was not easy to accomplish centralizing digital contents completely. It is tried to prevent users from utilizing their own storage in their personal computers or virtual machines and to use virtual folder which transfer and store digital contents to and in EDMS. The virtual folder system of this paper looks like a real folder in a personal computer, but it is another virtual device for outer storage devices including EDMS. It can be an alternative and reference of digital contents control for future applications of cloud computing.

Bovine mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most common disease of dairy cattle causing economic losses due to reduced yield and poor quality of milk. The etiological agents include a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and can be either contagious (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Mycoplasma spp.) or environmental (e.g., Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp., coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Streptococcus uberis). Improving sanitation such as enhanced milking hygiene, implementation of post-milking teat disinfection, maintenance of milking machines are general measures to prevent new cases of mastitis, but treatment of active mastitis infection is dependant mainly on antibiotics. However, the extensive use of antibiotics increased concerns about emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and that led the dairy industries to reduce the use of antibiotics. Therefore, alternative therapies for prevention and treatment of bovine mastitis, particularly natural products from plants and animals, have been sought. This review provides an overview of bovine mastitis in the aspects of risk factors, control and treatments, and emerging therapeutic alternatives in the control of bovine mastitis.

The group formation problem of the machine and part is a critical issue in the planning stage of cellular manufacturing systems. The machine-part grouping with alternative process plans means to form machine-part groupings in which a part may be processed not only by a specific process but by many alternative processes. For this problem, this study presents an algorithm based on self organizing neural networks, so called SOM (Self Organizing feature Map). The SOM, a special type of neural networks is an intelligent tool for grouping machines and parts in group formation problem of the machine and part. SOM can learn from complex, multi-dimensional data and transform them into visually decipherable clusters. In the proposed algorithm, output layer in SOM network had been set as one-dimensional structure and the number of output node has been set sufficiently large in order to spread out the input vectors in the order of similarity. In the first stage of the proposed algorithm, SOM has been applied twice to form an initial machine-process group. In the second stage, grouping efficacy is considered to transform the initial machine-process group into a final machine-process group and a final machine-part group. The proposed algorithm was tested on well-known machine-part grouping problems with alternative process plans. The results of this computational study demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm can be easily applied to the group formation problem compared to other meta-heuristic based algorithms. In addition, it can be used to solve large-scale group formation problems.

The most common current controller for the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is the hysteresis controller. This method, however, suffers from such drawbacks as variable switching frequency, consequent audible noise and high current ripple. These disadvantages make this controlling method undesirable for many applications. The alternative solution is the PI controller. Since the fixed gain PI current controller can only be optimized for one operating point, and on the other hand, SR motor is highly nonlinear, PI controller gain should be adjusted according to incremental inductance. This paper presents a novel method for PI current controller gain adaptation which is simple and yields a good performance. The proposed controller has been implemented on a test bench using a eZdsp F28335 board. The performance of the current controller has been investigated in both simulation and experimental tests using a four-phase 8/6 4KW SRM drive system.
