Two Phases

An important consideration during product development is the sustainability level of a product. Thus, several tools and methods have been developed to assess product sustainability. However, most of current tools focus only on the environmental element without considering two important sustainability elements such economic and social elements. Other tools are limited to the cradle-to-gate system boundary, which covers two phases of the product life cycle from raw material extraction to the end of the manufacturing stage. Users need to understand the mathematical calculations and tools needed to achieve this purpose. Hence, this paper developed a comprehensive method for assessing the sustainability of product development considering all sustainability elements from cradle-to-grave. A graphical user interface (GUI) was developed for ease of use from the structured methodology. The developed GUI was embedded with the fuzzy logic calculation under the Matlab GUI platform with codes and callback functions by using fuzzy linguistics. The GUI presented is a user friendly assessment since users no need to understand the mathematical equation embedded. A product was selected as a case study to demonstrate the use of the GUI. The sustainability level of a product can be monitored via the GUI to enable further product sustainability improvement.

Main Components

In real world, many optimization problems are dynamic, which means that their model elements vary with time. These problems have received increasing attention over time, especially from the viewpoint of metaheuristics methods. In this context, experimentation is a crucial task because of the stochastic nature of both algorithms and problems. Currently, there are several technologies whose methods, problems, and performance measures can be implemented. However, in most of them, certain features that make the experimentation process easy are not present. Examples of such features are the statistical analysis of the results and a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows an easy management of the experimentation process. Bearing in mind these limitations, in the present work, we present DynOptLab, a software tool for experimental analysis in dynamic environments. DynOptLab has two main components: (1) an object-oriented framework to facilitate the implementation of new proposals and (2) a graphical user interface for the experiment management and the statistical analysis of the results. With the aim of verifying the benefits of DynOptLab’s main features, a typical case study on experimentation in dynamic environments was carried out.

<p>Submerged marine investigation still remains a puzzle. The motivation behind this paper is to address the issues in plan and improvement of submerged vehicles with hindrance shirking and moving help for administrator in marine condition utilizing fluffy rationale controller. A symmetrical, practical and little measured submerged Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) with three thrusters is intended for testing control calculation and execution of framework. Kinematics of the ROV is produced relating rate of revolution of thrusters with ROV'S straight and precise increasing speed. A near investigation of the framework's reaction for basic if-else rationale and with fluffy rationale controller for route is made and assessed. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) with live bolster is given to the administrator to more extensive scope of visual perception of submerged condition and navigational guide.</p>

Abstract The present work describes the development and final result of a graphical user interface tailored for a mission-based parametric aircraft design optimization code which targets the preliminary design phase of unmanned aerial vehicles. This development was built from the XFLR5 open source platform and further benefits from two-dimensional aerodynamic data obtained from XFOIL. For a better understanding, the most important graphical windows are shown. In order to demonstrate the graphical user interface interaction with the aircraft designer, the results of a case study which maximizes payload are presented.

This paper proposes a mobile phone based security and control system for home appliances through SMS/Bluetooth. It focuses on controlling home appliances remotely, and providing security with good graphical user interface. The system uses GSM technology, providing ubiquitous access to the system for security and automated appliance control from anywhere around the globe. The system provides security against intrusion using a smarter digital lock which notifies owners in case of an unauthorized via SMS message, as well as facilitates both short and long-range device control using Bluetooth or SMS technology. Rather than a conventional method of sending an SMS message to control devices, a graphical user interface is designed using Python S60 language for ease of use. The control signals in the form of SMS messages are encrypted and restricted to unique mobile phones or SIM cards for improved security.

Sustainability has become new evolution of quality and efficiency indicator for product life cycle. It is generally acknowledge that sustainability is a result from balancing the environmental, economical and social aspect. However, each aspects may expand to different type of parameters involved that cross the system boundary; qualitative and quantitative parameters. Fuzzy logic approach will be applied to deal with the data uncertainty for obtaining the sustainability assessment of hollow fiber membrane module. Fuzzy logic operation will formulate the mapping from inputs to an output. Thus, it will able for intermediate assessment between sustainable and non-sustainable hollow fiber membrane module. Hence, this paper introduces the comprehensive method for assessing sustainability as guide for hollow fiber membrane designer and manufacturer for future sustainability improvement.
