Inverse problem in laser forming involves the heating position planning and the determination of heating parameters. In this study, the heating positions are optimized in laser forming of single curved shapes based on the processing efficiency. The algorithm uses a probability function to initialize the heating position that is considered to be the bending points. The optimization process is to minimize the total processing time through adjusting the heating positions by considering the boundary conditions of the offset distances, the minimum bending angle, and the minimum distance between two adjacent heating positions. The optimized results are compared with those obtained by the distance-based model as well as the experimental data.

This paper deals with a buffer allocation problem in unpaced μ-unbalanced production line. Unpaced line is referred to a line with workstations act independently and the material is not pulled by demand but in push mode. In this study, the production line is considered unpaced, μ-unbalanced but reliable. Mean processing time (μ) is the most difficult variable to fix constant in an actual production line due to the complexity of assembly process. The unbalance variance will become higher if the assembly process is more complex. The optimal buffer allocation need to be found for this particular type of production line so that it can maximize throughput rate and minimize total number of work-in-progress (WIP) on the line. This paper used a simulation method to simulate the throughput rate by given sets of buffer size. Based on the simulation results, a basic optimal buffer allocation (OBA) concept represented the characteristics of OBA for a production line was summarized. By applying the concept, a development of 6 Steps OBA tool is carried out. This tool could be utilized by a management in allocating the buffer during designing of the line layout.

In this paper, we deal with a localization system allowing one to determine the position and orientation of a mobile robot. This system uses active beacons distributed at the ceiling of the navigation area. These beacons can transmit a coded infrared signal which allows the robots to identify the sender. A CCD camera associated to an infrared receiver allows one to compute the position with a triangulation method which needs reduced processing time. Calibration and correcting distortion stages are performed to improve accuracy in the determination of the position. Dynamic localisation is established for most actual mobile robots used in indoor areas.

Abstract In SPECT, the reconstructed images are strongly affected by poisson noise, poor spatial resolution and bad contrast due to the radioactivity disintegration and procedures acquisition. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the traditional FBP reconstruction and to choose the most suitable technique for bone SPECT image denoising. The proposed approach is composed of two steps. The first one consists of denoising the acquired sinograms using successively eight currently used filters in nuclear medicine: Wiener, Metz, Hamming, Hann, Shepp-Logan, Parzen, Butterworth and Gaussian combined with Butterworth filters. The second step is a simultaneous reconstruction of the axial slices using a new 3D FBP algorithm for each filter. A comparative study of these filters is tested and evaluated on a dataset containing thirty one bone SPECT image. The results show that the difference between these filters is statistically significantly different from each other (p<0.05) and the 3D FBP with the combination between Butterworth and Gaussian provide the best performance. The selected method is compared to three denoising methods. These methods are tested on a Shepp Logan phantom and bone SPECT images. Experimental results show that the 3D FBP reconstruction with the pre-processing combination (Gaussian (Std=0.3) + Butterworth (fc=0.47, ordre=3)) filter is more accurate and robust compared to other methods. It provides the highest performance in term of contrast, SNR, CNR ensuring a shorter processing time. It accelerates the reconstruction, reduces noise and artifacts while preserving detailed features. This approach could be considered as a valuable candidate to enhance the quality of the reconstructed bone SPECT image.

This study discusses the determination of order delivery time in the event organizer (EO) industry. With regard to the characteristics of the EO production process that is identical to the job shop production process in the manufacturing industry, a non-delay scheduling approach is applied. The non-delay schedule is compiled using the non-delay algorithm with the criteria for makespan minimization. Job assignment is done using the shortest processing time (SPT), longest processing time (LPT), and first comes first served (FCFS) priority rules. We consider the situation where all orders arrive simultaneously (offline) and at different time (online). As a case study, the modified non-delay algorithm is examined to solve the problem of an EO in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the nondelay algorithm using SPT rule provides the best schedule performance which results in the shortest makespan and the lowest resource idle time. In addition to determining the delivery time, the resulting non-delay schedule can be used to control the execution of each order. The method of determining order delivery time in this study can be applied to other service industries. Further study can be developed for situations where order arrival and processing time are probabilistic. Furthermore, it is also necessary to consider the balanced distribution of the workload among operators. Determination of Order Delivery Time in Event

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to design a biogas digester that works thermophilically and mesophilically and tested its performance to produce biogas and digestate. Methods This study used some experimental methods, which consists of: (1) design and construction process of the digester which can facilitate the thermophilic process as a pretreatment of the feedstock and the anaerobic digestion process of the substrate; (2) determination of the quantity of biogas, liquid digestate, and compost; and (3) testing digestate quality as a liquid organic fertilizer for Ipomoea reptans. Results The built biogas digester was able to accommodate thermophilic digestion that runs intensely in the pretreatment tank, where the complex organic compounds, namely cellulose and hemicellulose, decomposed intensively, so that it becomes a suitable substrate. As raw material, every 4 kg of banana waste, can produce biogas, digestate and dry compost of 10,200 cm3 (highest yield), 5900 mL, and 1420 g, respectively. The highest Ipomoea reptans growth was achieved by digestate treatment from banana waste. Conclusions Thermophilic pretreatment could shorten the processing time to 3 days. Digestate treatment as a liquid organic fertilizer is able to provide a better supply of nutrients for plants.

A practical course for preclinical medical students was developed to illustrate aspects of binocular vision and mechanisms of primary visual transduction. It is based on a graphic analysis of two optical illusions, the Pulfrich and the Mach-Dvorak phenomena. A pendulum swinging in a plane perpendicular to the direction of observation appears to follow an elliptical path when viewed binocularly with a filter in front of one eye (Pulfrich illusion) or with alternating occlusion of the right and left eye above a critical frequency (Mach-Dvorak illusion). The Pulfrich phenomenon permits us to determine the relationship between perceived illusory depth and filter density. Analyzing the Mach-Dvorak phenomenon allows us to determine the dependence of illusory depth on interocular delay. Comparison of both determinations (depth against transmission and depth against time) permits us to establish, without complex calculations, the effect of luminescence on visual processing time. In addition, this course illustrates a general methodological concept mentioned by Popper: students make an unexpected observation, put forward a testable hypothesis, and try to falsify it.
