Evaluating the design of flexible manufacturing systems

Evaluating the design of flexible manufacturing systems is complex. Developing a measure of performance useful for evaluating alternate designs continues to be interesting. Here, total productivity of the system is proposed as an appropriate measure. Specification of parameters based upon strategic considerations for this measure are discussed. Finally, the usefulness of the measure is demonstrated through an example.

Projection center calibration by motion

Camera calibration is the first step of three-dimensional machine vision. A fundamental parameter to be calibrated is the position of the camera projection center with respect to the image plane. This paper presents a method for the computation of the projection center position using images of a translating rigid object, taken by the camera itself.

Many works have been proposed in literature to solve the calibration problem, but this method has several desirable features. The projection center position is computed directly, independently of all other camera parameters. The dimensions and position of the object used for calibration can be completely unknown.

This method is based on a geometric relation between the projection center and the focus of expansion. The use of this property enables the problem to be split into two parts. First a suitable number of focuses of expansion are computed from the images of the translating object. Then the focuses of expansion are taken as landmarks to build a spatial back triangulation problem, the solution of which gives the projection center position.

Conceptual design of a high-efficiency absorption cooling cycle

The search for high-efficiency, gas-fired cooling cycles has led to the development of dual-loop absorption machines with cooling coefficients of performance (COPs) in the 1.2 to 1.7 range. This increased performance may call for high generator temperatures, new working fluids or new materials of construction. In most cases, two different sets of working fluids are required. The conceptual design presented here is aimed at obtaining high efficiencies with relatively low temperatures, employing only one set of fluids. The concept consists of two loops coupled in a configuration aimed at minimizing the loss of thermodynamic availability incurred when transferring refrigerant between the loops. The working fluid pair is a solution of lithium bromide-water. The calculated COPs are of the order of 1.8. The cycle relies on an elaborate evaporator-absorber combination. The paper presents the conceptual design, the critical assumptions, and the performance calculations for the concept.

Reverse reachability analysis: A new technique for deadlock detection on communicating finite state machines

The communicating finite state machines can exchange messages over bounded FIFO channels. In this paper, a new technique, called reverse reachability analysis, is proposed to detect deadlocks on the communication between the communicating finite state machines. The technique is based on finding reverse reachable paths starting from possible deadlock states. If a reverse reachable path can reach the initial global state, then deadlock occurs. Otherwise the communication is deadlock-free. The effectiveness of the technique has been verified by some real protocols such as a specification of X.25 call establishment/clear protocol and Bartlet's alternating bit protocol.
