An automated coding and classification system with supporting database for effective design of manufacturing systems

The philosophy of group technology (GT) is an important concept in the design of flexible manufacturing systems and manufacturing cells. Group technology is a manufacturing philosophy that identifies similar parts and groups them into families. Beside assigning unique codes to these parts, group technology developers intend to take advantage of part similarities during design and manufacturing processes. GT is not the answer to all manufacturing problems, but it is a good management technique with which to standardize efforts and eliminate duplication. Group technology classifies parts by assigning them to different families based on their similarities in: (1) design attributes (physical shape and size), and/or (2) manufacturing attributes (processing sequence). The manufacturing industry today is process focused; departments and sub units are no longer independent but are interdependent. If the product development process is to be optimized, engineering and manufacturing cannot remain independent any more: they must be coordinated. Each sub-system is a critical component within an integrated manufacturing framework. The coding and classification system is the basis of CAPP and the functioning and reliability of CAPP depends on the robustness of the coding system. The proposed coding system is considered superior to the previously proposed coding systems, in that it has the capability to migrate into multiple manufacturing environments. This article presents the design of a coding and classification system and the supporting database for manufacturing processes based on both design and manufacturing attributes of parts. An interface with the spreadsheet will calculate the machine operation costs for various processes. This menu-driven interactive package is implemented using dBASE-IV. Part Family formation is achieved using a KAMCELL package developed in TURBO Pascal.     

导向钻井系统在多目标大井斜定向井中的应用

详细介绍了C-D井在钻进过程中井眼轨迹的控制过程,总结了在C-D井中使用导向钻井系统的成功经验。用1根导向马达、2套钻具组合、3只牙轮钻头顺利地完成了定向、增斜、稳斜及降斜,7个目标点一次击中,且最小靶心距仅0.99m。用15d完成了这口斜深2287.09m、井斜58.40°、水平位移903.11m的多目标定向井,钻穿目标点之多、实钻井眼剖面符合率之高、施工难度之大、速度之快,在目前国内都处于领先地位。     

长25-29井卡钻事故的处理

长２５－２９井在完井阶段通井过程中发生粘附卡钻事故，在处理卡钻过程中又发生卡套铣筒、井漏、溢流等事故及复杂情况。通过对井下情况的认真分析，采取先堵漏后循环再解卡的处理方案，顺利地解除了该次卡钻事故，大大地减少了经济损失。     

DST压恢法在大港油田的应用

非自喷井解释方法一直是困扰试井界的难题之一。自1995年底应用DKS2．0软件中DST压恢分析法先后处理了大港油田200多层实测资料以来，发现一部分井与常规分析法的处理结果完全不同。这些井多出现在均质无限大油藏，且其压力及压力导数曲线开口小、导数曲线驼峰较小。通过对DST压恢分析法在大港油田应用情况的分析，认为此方法适用于均质非自喷井，尤其是处理低渗且地层受污染井的结果比较符合地层的实际地质情况，其成果的应用对地层改造有一定的指导作用。     

油气两相压降数值试井模型及其典型曲线的规律

提出油气两相流动压降试井数字模型的数值解法，用此解法对均质油藏中油气两相流动试井的规律进行了研究，根据实例计算结果，分析油气两相流下典型压降试井曲线的特征，以及油、气的初始饱和度分布，两相黏度比，饱和度梯度、相对渗透率关系对试井曲线的影响和相应的作用机理，首次发现气体的存在会使油气两相试井的压力导数曲线表现出类似于单相流双重介质试井的压力导数曲线的“下凹”特征。

Directional features in online handwriting recognition

The selection of valuable features is crucial in pattern recognition. In this paper we deal with the issue that part of features originate from directional instead of common linear data. Both for directional and linear data a theory for a statistical modeling exists. However, none of these theories gives an integrated solution to problems, where linear and directional variables are to be combined in a single, multivariate probability density function. We describe a general approach for a unified statistical modeling, given the constraint that variances of the circular variables are small. The method is practically evaluated in the context of our online handwriting recognition system frog on hand and the so-called tangent slope angle feature. Recognition results are compared with two alternative modeling approaches. The proposed solution gives significant improvements in recognition accuracy, computational speed and memory requirements.     

Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) and Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) Encode Relevant Problem Features in a Tool-Using Task.

Two important elements in problem solving are the abilities to encode relevant task features and to combine multiple actions to achieve the goal. The authors investigated these 2 elements in a task in which gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) and orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) had to use a tool to retrieve an out-of-reach reward. Subjects were able to select tools of an appropriate length to reach the reward even when the position of the reward and tools were not simultaneously visible. When presented with tools that were too short to retrieve the reward, subjects were more likely to refuse to use them than when tools were the appropriate length. Subjects were proficient at using tools in sequence to retrieve the reward. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
