In this paper, we describe a new geometric algorithm to determine the largest feasible cutter size for 2-D milling operations to be performed using a single cutter. In particular:1. We give a general definition of the ...

Machine scheduling has long been a focus of engineering research. To stay competitive,industry recognized early that by streamlining their manufacturing processes, andautomating scheduling, they could reduce costs dramatically. ...

With the advent of polymers micro fabrication methods for micro-fluidic devices, there has developed the need to investigate various forms of sealing such devices for practical applications. This research documents work ...

In this thesis, risk-sensitive estimation for Hidden Markov Models isstudied from a dynamical systems point of view. We show that risk-sensitive estimators belong to a broaderclass of product estimators in which risk-sensitivity ...

In this paper, I explain a school behavior model, which was constructed by Aoki, Huth, and Wissel, used to describe the motion of schools of fish. Schools of fish are characterized by strong cohesion and high parallel ...

In this paper, design and fabrication techniques are presented for a new microfluidic device that can be used for a wide variety of biological applications. The device consists of a channel as well as inlet and outlet ...

Competitive imperatives are causing manufacturing firms toconsider multiple criteria when designing products. However,current methods to deal with multiple criteria in product designare ad hoc in nature. In this paper we ...

We consider a receding horizon approach as an approximate solution totwo-person zero-sum Markov games with infinite horizon discounted costand average cost criteria. <p>We first present error bounds from the optimalequilibrium ...

Depth recovery has a number of different applications in robotics, manufacturing, and entertainment. The focus for this project was the manufacturing aspect. Specifically, there are a lot of different computerized machining ...

Run-to-Run (RtR) control plays an important role in semiconductormanufacturing processes. In this paper, RtR control methods are classified and evaluated. The set-valued RtR controllers with ellipsoid approximation are ...
