In spite of extensive efforts being made with regard to virtual process optimization technology, the production of prototype
parts is still a necessity. With respect to the production of sheet metal parts in low quantities, incremental sheet metal
forming (ISMF) is a highly interesting process. ISMF allows the production of complex parts with drastically reduced costs
in tooling and machinery compared to conventional processes like deep drawing. However, ISMF, with it’s incremental nature,
introduces the need for generating a tool path considering both final geometry and process-induced deviations or constraints.
Consequently, for the generation of the tool path a (tool path) surface, with an adequate offset, is necessary. That is why,
within the scope of extensive research work at the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction (IUL), a special
correction module has been developed, determining this offset e.g. depending on the workpiece geometry. This paper presents
the algorithm, the application, and the effect on the produced parts. Furthermore, a concept for an extension regarding further
constraints like elastic workpiece behavior is presented. 相似文献
In-home technologies can support older adults' activities of daily living, provide physical safety and security, and connect elders to family and friends. They facilitate aging in place while reducing caregiver burden. One of older adults' primary concerns about in-home technologies is their potential to reduce human contact, particularly from cherished caregivers. In this exploratory in situ study, we provided an ecosystem of networked monitoring technologies to six older adults and their caregivers. We analyzed the amount and content of communication between them. The amount of noncomputer-mediated communication did not decrease through the 6-week study. The content of communication coalesced into four themes: communication about the technologies, communication facilitated by technologies, intrusiveness of technologies, and fun and playfulness with the technologies. Results suggest that in-home technologies, designed with sensitivity to older adults' primary motivations, have the potential to shape and tailor important relationships in later life. 相似文献
In this paper, an Adaptive Hierarchical Ant Colony Optimization (AHACO) has been proposed to resolve the traditional machine
loading problem in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). Machine loading is one of the most important issues that is interlinked
with the efficiency and utilization of FMS. The machine loading problem is formulated in order to minimize the system unbalance
and maximize the throughput, considering the job sequencing, optional machines and technological constraints. The performance
of proposed AHACO has been tested over a number of benchmark problems taken from the literature. Computational results indicate
that the proposed algorithm is more effective and produces promising results as compared to the existing solution methodologies
in the literature. The evaluation and comparison of system efficiency and system utilization justifies the supremacy of the
algorithm. Further, results obtained from the proposed algorithm have been compared with well known random search algorithm
viz. genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, artificial Immune system, simple ant colony optimization, tabu search etc. In
addition, the algorithm has been tested over a randomly generated problem set of varying complexities; the results validate
the robustness and scalability of the algorithm utilizing the concepts of ‘heuristic gap’ and ANOVA analysis. 相似文献
This paper presents two types of nonlinear controllers for an autonomous quadrotor helicopter. One type, a feedback linearization
controller involves high-order derivative terms and turns out to be quite sensitive to sensor noise as well as modeling uncertainty.
The second type involves a new approach to an adaptive sliding mode controller using input augmentation in order to account
for the underactuated property of the helicopter, sensor noise, and uncertainty without using control inputs of large magnitude.
The sliding mode controller performs very well under noisy conditions, and adaptation can effectively estimate uncertainty
such as ground effects.

Internet of Things (IoT) security is the act of securing IoT devices and networks. IoT devices, including industrial machines, smart energy grids, and building automation, are extremely vulnerable. With the goal of shielding network systems from illegal access in cloud servers and IoT systems, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) and Network-based Intrusion Prevention Systems (NBIPSs) are proposed in this study. An intrusion prevention system is proposed to realize NBIPS to safeguard top to bottom engineering. The proposed NBIPS inspects network activity streams to identify and counteract misuse instances. The NBIPS is usually located specifically behind a firewall, and it provides a reciprocal layer of investigation that adversely chooses unsafe substances. Network-based IPS sensors can be installed either in an inline or a passive model. An inline sensor is installed to monitor the traffic passing through it. The sensors are installed to stop attacks by blocking the traffic using an IoT signature-based protocol. 相似文献

In recent years, we face an increasing interest in protecting multimedia data and copyrights due to the high exchange of information. Attackers are trying to get confidential information from various sources, which brings the importance of securing the data. Many researchers implemented techniques to hide secret information to maintain the integrity and privacy of data. In order to protect confidential data, histogram-based reversible data hiding with other cryptographic algorithms are widely used. Therefore, in the proposed work, a robust method for securing digital video is suggested. We implemented histogram bit shifting based reversible data hiding by embedding the encrypted watermark in featured video frames. Histogram bit shifting is used for hiding highly secured watermarks so that security for the watermark symbol is also being achieved. The novelty of the work is that only based on the quality threshold a few unique frames are selected, which holds the encrypted watermark symbol. The optimal value for this threshold is obtained using the Firefly Algorithm. The proposed method is capable of hiding high-capacity data in the video signal. The experimental result shows the higher capacity and video quality compared to other reversible data hiding techniques. The recovered watermark provides better identity identification against various attacks. A high value of PSNR and a low value of BER and MSE is reported from the results.
