Nature inspired algorithms to optimize robot workcell layouts

Multi-objective layout optimization methods for the conceptual design of robot cellular manufacturing systems are proposed in this paper. Robot cellular manufacturing systems utilize one or more flexible robots which can carry out a large number of operations, and can conduct flexible assemble processes. The layout design stage of such manufacturing systems is especially important since fundamental performances of the manufacturing system under consideration are determined at this stage. Layout area, operation time and manipulability of robot are the three important criteria when it comes to designing manufacturing system. The use of nature inspired algorithms are not extensively explored to optimize robot workcell layouts. The contribution in this paper is the use of five nature-inspired algorithms, viz. genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE), artificial bee colony (ABC), charge search system (CSS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms and to optimize the three design criteria simultaneously. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II is used to handle multiple objectives and to obtain pareto solutions for the problems considered. The performance of sequence pair and B*-Tree layout representation schemes are also evaluated. It is found that sequence pair scheme performs better than B*-Tree representation and it is used in the algorithms. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed methods. It is observed that PSO performs better over the other algorithms in terms of solution quality.     

超高速电梯气压控制系统的风口布局优化分析

超高速电梯在运行过程中,轿厢内气压的快速变化会对乘客的耳朵产生压耳感.为了减轻这种压耳感,有些超高速电梯内配备了气压控制系统,能够使电梯轿厢内的气压在运行过程中呈线性地变化,从而降低气压变化率,改善乘客的压耳感.但那些气压控制系统的风口布局方式会对乘客产生不舒适的吹风感.为了解决上述问题,提出了一种新的风口布局方式.为了验证其合理性,运用计算流体力学分析软件Fluent对气压控制过程中的增减压过程进行了数值仿真,并对不同送排风口的设置以及在不同的风口高度下,电梯轿厢内的风速场进行分析.仿真结果表明,采用非对称的风口布局方式在人体头部周围产生的风速较小,是一种较优的风口布局方式.

集成电路测试系统总定时精度自动校准程序设计

在高速集成电路测试应用中,当集成电路测试系统驱动或测量某一信号时,其驱动沿或比较沿与预期时间产生1ns的偏差都将导致整个测试时序严重偏离,使测试结果失去意义。系统总定时精度(OTA)就是反映测试系统提供的信号驱动或比较沿是否在预期的时间范围内,各信号之间的相对时间是否准确的关键时间参量,必须进行校准保证其溯源性。论文以V93000集成电路测试系统为例,介绍了集成电路测试系统总定时精度自动校准程序的设计方法。     

Aesthetics and complexity in digital layout systems

Abstract

The layout of pages which carry information is the bread and butter of the graphic design profession. The rationale of what elements are chosen and where they are placed is based on tacit knowledge gained over a number of years of experience. The aesthetics associated with the overall finished design are often based on a style. Important elements of style are complexity and aesthetic value. In this paper I explore how various mathematical aesthetic functions can use complexity as an arousal enhancing or limiting mechanism in the application of layout designs.

动态规划模型在灌溉泵站群布局优化中的应用

针对具有耦合约束的多维动态规划模型提出了一种改进的递推方法,即改变相应各阶段对应状态变量的离散范围,以达到降维的目的。以灌溉泵站群总能耗最小为目标函数,以农田灌溉和河道引水能力为约束条件,对动态规划模型进行了求解,确定开机灌溉的泵站组合,并据此对灌溉泵站群及配套渠系的布局进行了调整。结果显示,采用此方法布局的泵站群,既能满足农田灌溉供水及河道最小生态流量的要求,又能使整个泵站群的耗能率最小。
