We consider the visual barcode recognition problem in a noisy video data setup. Unlike most existing single-frame recognizers that require considerable user effort to acquire clean, motionless and blur-free barcode signals, we eliminate such extra human efforts by proposing a robust video-based barcode recognition algorithm. We deal with a sequence of noisy blurred barcode image frames by posing it as an online filtering problem. In the proposed dynamic recognition model, at each frame we infer the blur level of the frame as well as the digit class label. In contrast to a frame-by-frame based approach with heuristic majority voting scheme, the class labels and frame-wise noise levels are propagated along the frame sequences in our model, and hence we exploit all cues from noisy frames that are potentially useful for predicting the barcode label in a probabilistically reasonable sense. We also suggest a visual barcode tracking approach that efficiently localizes barcode areas in video frames. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated empirically on both synthetic and real data setup.

We consider a supply chain consisting of a make-to-order manufacturer and N component suppliers and study the impacts of the number of suppliers on component inventory management. The manufacturer has full information and continuously observes the state of both component inventory level and customer backorders. Based on this information, the manufacturer determines whether or not to place a component purchasing order to a supplier among N suppliers even though some orders are in process by other suppliers. The goal of this paper is to numerically identify the manufacturer's purchasing policy which minimizes the total supply chain cost and the best choice of N. Our model contributes to the current literature in that the problem of simultaneously considering multiple outstanding orders and incorporating order setup cost into the model has not been covered yet. From numerical experiment, we investigate how much the policy with N suppliers can contribute to reducing the supply cost compared to the policy with a single supplier.

Finishing mill (FM) is set up with rolling conditions (rolling speed, rolling force, roll gap, etc.) calculated by a FSU (Finisher Setup) model considering the temperature, qualities and size of a transfer bar and a strip at the entry and exit of FM before the transfer bar is rolled through FM. If the accuracy of setup is low mass flow unbalance occurs, so that the accuracies of the strip thickness and width become lower or rolling operation fault occurs. Therefore, to enhance the performance of the FSU model and to improve mass flow and the thickness accuracy of a strip in the 7-stand finishing mill using a hot strip speed measurement system. This study is being performed. In this paper, the speed measurement system, a developed neural network for predicting ...

This paper considers a multi-stage flowshop scheduling Problem where the setup times of jots depend on immediately preceding jobs. Three heuristics algorithms, CAMPBELL, PEIDAN and CAMRING are proposed. The performance measure is a minimization of makespan. The parameters of simulation model are PS(ratio of the processing times to setup times), M(number of machines), and N(number of job). This simulation model for each algorithm is a 4$\times$3$\times$3 factorial design with 360 observations. The makespan of the proposed heuristic algorithms is compared with the optimal makespan obtained by the complete enumeration of schedules. This yardstick of comparison is defined as a relative error. The mean relative error of CAMPBELL, PEIDAN, and CAMRING algorithms are 4.353%, 7.908%, and 8.578% respectively. The SPSS, is used to analyse emphirical results. The experimental results show that the three factors are statistically significant at 5% level.

A numerical method is proposed to simulate level ice interaction with ship in transverse and longitudinal directions in time domain. A novel method is proposed to simulate non-symmetric transverse force in a stochastic way. On the basis of observations from the model tests, the simulation of longitudinal force combines the ice bending force acting on the waterline, submersion force below the waterline and ice friction forces caused by transverse force and ice floes rotation amidships. In the simulations the ship was fixed and towed through an intact ice sheet at a certain speed. The setup of the numerical simulation is similar to the ice tank setup as much as possible. The simulated results are compared with model tests data and the results show good agreement with the measurement.

This paper analyzes the impact of Call Setup Time on UPT performance based on the AIN platform. Call Setup Time is used as the performance parameter. In implementing UPT based on the AIN platform, the geographical location of VLR affects network performance. In order to find an optimum location of VLR among three different types of structures, i.e. VLR is located close to Service Switching Point and Cell Site Controller and located at Service Control Point, each Call Setup Time on proposed time delay model is calculated and compared. Network performance is analyzed by changing the number of STP in No.7 signaling network in UPT and the utilization ratio, $\rho$, for SSP, STP and SCP.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is one of the major protocols used in call-setup over IP telephony. The SIP-signaled calls use many-sided states according to a request of user. In this paper, we suggest seven states and some events that help developers to design and implement new applications efficiently. And they enable an object-oriented design of the system. If you design the call-setup procedure only by the processing model suggested in RFC 3261 over commercial network, a fatal error may occur in the system because of heavy data traffic or unpredicted exception cases. However, according to the suggested seven states, if they are predefined events in the current system state, the standardized processing routine is executed. Otherwise, they can be processed by the exception routine in system. All event processing routines are designed and implemented using Finite State Machine (FSM).

An equivalent model has been developed to estimate the electromagnetic immunity for integrated circuits under a complex electromagnetic environment. The complete model is based on the characteristics of the equipment and physical configuration of the device under test (DUT) and describes the measurement setup as well as the target integrated circuits under test, the corresponding package, and a specially designed printed circuit board. The advantage of the proposed model is that it can be applied to a SPICE-like simulator and the immunity of the integrated circuits can be easily achieved without costly and time-consuming measurements. After simulation, measurements were performed to verify the accuracy of the equivalent model for immunity prediction. The improvement of measurement accuracy due to the added effect of a bi-directional coupler in the test setup is also addressed.

Zinc wiping is a phenomenon used to control zinc-coating thickness on steel substrate during hot dip galvanizing by equipment called air knife. Uniformity of zinc coating weight in length and width profile along with surface quality are most critical quality parameters of galvanized steel. Deviation from tolerance level of coating thickness causes issues like overcoating (excess consumption of costly zinc) or undercoating leading to rejections due to non-compliance of customer requirement. Main contributor of deviation from target coating weight is dynamic change in air knives equipment setup when thickness, width, and type of substrate changes. Additionally, cold coating measurement gauge measure coating weight after solidification but are installed down the line from air knife resulting in delayed feedback. This study presents a coating weight control model (Galvantage) predicting critical air knife parameters air pressure, knife distance from strip and line speed for coating control. A reverse engineering approach is adopted to design a predictive, prescriptive, and descriptive model recommending air knife setups that estimate air knife distance and expected coating weight in real time. Implementation of this model eliminates feedback lag experienced due to location of coating gauge and achieving setup without trial-error by operator.

In the current Internet, InteServ model based on Resource reSerVation Protocol (RSVP), DiffServ Model based on service differentiation according to per hope behavior(PHB) and traffic engineering policy, and two-tire model of above mentioned two models which are adapted differently as the target network status for providing the end-to-end QoS Path are suggested. But, when we integrated this internet QoS into the ATM based network, differences of the connection setup procedure, name/address translation methods, and QoS provisioning mechanisms for end-to-end path setup procedures are introduced. In this paper, we propose the method of shortcut based QoS path setup procedure to solve these problems, and to guarantee the integration and scalability of Next Generation Internet(NGI) names/address in Integrated IP network into ATM based network. This network should support the engineering differentiated into the multiple service classes, which depend on established by this path is designed suitably into the target router and host step by step. In the near future, this function which provide the QoS guaranteed path based on end-to-end shortcut between the configuration devices are extended into the NGI target network.
