The system consists of CAD system, product modeling system, assembly planning system. The product model is organized according to the STEP, uses mostly the entities of IR (integrated resources) and partly self defined entities which is necessary for assembly planning. A simple method of assembly sequence generation is presented which is suitable for complex assembly planning. The generated assembly sequences are evaluated considering the optimization of total assembly time. The results of assembly planning are feedback to the stage of assembly design to improve design.展开更多

This technique employs a novelcfixed-number-based algorithm and CTAT current biasing technology to compensate the temperature-dependent variations of the output, thus eliminating the need for digital calibrations. Simulation results prove that, with the proposed technique,the resolution in the temperature range of 0 to 100℃ can reach a 2mV quantization bin size with an input voltage span of 120mV at the sampling frequency of fs = 100kHz.展开更多

In this study, the usability of cyclones in the beneficiation of tailings of a coal preparation plant was investigated. For this purpose, separation tests were conducted using spiral concentrator and heavy medium cyclones with the specific weight of medium 1.3-1.8 （g/cm^3） on different grading fractions of tailing in an industrial scale （the weight of tail sample was five tons）. Spiral concentrator was utilized to beneficiate particles smaller than 1 mm. In order to evaluate the efficiency of cyclones, sink and float experiments using a specific weight of 1.3, 1.5, 1.7 and 1.9 g/cm^3, were conducted on a pilot scale. Based on the obtained results, the recovery of floated materials in cyclones with the specific weight of 1.40, 1.47 and 1.55 g/cm^3 are 17.75%, 33.80%, and 50%, respectively. Also, the cut point （Pso）, which is the relative density at which particles report equally to the both products are 1.40, 1.67 and 1.86 g/cm^3. The probable errors of separation for defined specific weights for cyclones are 0.080, 0.085 and 0.030, respectively. Also, the coefficients of variation was calculated to be 0.20, 0.12 and 0.03. Finally, it could be said that the performance of a cyclone with a heavy medium of 1.40 g/cm^3 specific weight is desirable compared with other specific weights.展开更多

First, two indices including risky duration and risk magnitude are established to characterize the weather conditions. Based on these two indices, the job suitability under the future air state is derived by the fuzzy decision method, and integrated with atraditional heuristic to compute the dispatching priority of each job. Then, a new measure matching degree is constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of the dispatching rule. The greater the matching degree, the smaller the possibility that the quality problems of wood products occur. Finally, simulation experiments show that the dispatching rule can greatly increase the matching degree while maintaining low weighted tardiness.展开更多
