Optimization Algorithms for Fully Automatic Optimizing Cross-cut Saw

The optimization of boards by grades plays an important role in the production for cross cutting boards, and the outturn rate and utilization of boards are directly affected by the optimization results of boards by grades. At present, the OptiCut series fully automatic optimizing cross-cut saw（FAOCCS） from Germany Weinig Group occupies the main markets in the world, but no report about the relative theories on the optimization technology and its algorithms is available. There exist some disadvantages in woodworking machinery and equipment used for cross cutting boards in China, for example, low sawing precision, outturn rate of boards and productivity, and difficulty in making statistics on the sawing results. Three optimization modes are presented for the optimization algorithms for FAOCCS, namely, optimization of fixed length, optimization of finger-jointed lumber and mixed optimization. Mathematical models are then established for these three optimization modes, and the corresponding software for realizing the optimization is prepared. Finally, Synthetic evaluation on the established mathematical models is presented through three practical examples. The results of synthetic evaluation indicate that FAOCCS using the optimization modes may raise the outturn rate of boards approximately 8% and the productivity obviously, and allows accurate statistics on the cross cut products of boards. The mathematical models of above three optimization modes are useful for increasing the outturn rate and utilization ratio of boards.

Three-dimensional physical simulation and optimization of water injection of a multi-well fractured-vuggy unit

With complex fractured-vuggy heterogeneous structures, water has to be injected to facilitate oil pro- duction. However, the effect of different water injection modes on oil recovery varies. The limitation of existing numerical simulation methods in representing fractured- vuggy carbonate reservoirs makes numerical simulation difficult to characterize the fluid flow in these reservoirs. In this paper, based on a geological example unit in the Tahe Oilfield, a three-dimensional physical model was designed and constructed to simulate fluid flow in a fractured-vuggy reservoir according to similarity criteria. The model was validated by simulating a bottom water drive reservoir, and then subsequent water injection modes were optimized. These were continuous （constant rate）, intermittent, and pulsed injection of water. Experimental results reveal that due to the unbalanced formation pressure caused by pulsed water injection, the swept volume was expanded and consequently the highest oil recovery increment was achieved. Similar to continuous water injection, intermit- tent injection was influenced by factors including the connectivity of the fractured-vuggy reservoir, well depth, and the injection-production relationship, which led to a relative low oil recovery. This study may provide a constructive guide to field production and for the devel- opment of the commercial numerical models specialized for fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs.

Therapeutic effect of a dualchamber pacemaker with the optimized program-control mode on long-qt syndrome

Objectives To explore the optimized program-control mode of a dual-chamber pacemaker combined withβ-blocker to treat congenital long QT syndrome(LQTS). Methods 12 LQTS patients in our hospital that still have symptoms despite use of regular drug therapies or that can not endure the therapies were implanted with DDD cardiac pacemaker.The QT/QTc intervals of those patients were measured at different pacing rates respectively.Their cardiac pacemakers were all programmed to selectively turn on and turn off some related functions at the pacing rate of 80 beats/min.The dosage ofβ-blockers was adjusted according to the patients’ PR intervals and blood pressures.The MACE and the cardiac function of the patients were recorded after operation.Results The measured QT / QTc interval decreased with the pacing rate increasing.The pacing rate of 80 beats/min can make QT/QTc interval basically normal. The MACE of the patients were statistically declined(P = 0.003) and no negative effect on cardiac function was found during the follow-up.Conclusions The optimized program-control mode of a dual-chamber pacemaker combined withβ-blocker to treat congenital LQTS are:to pace at the rate of 80 beats/min and program to turn off lag,sleep,automatic preventing PMT and automatic threshold-capture feature and turn on the PVC,rate adaptation and atrioventricular node priority function.

Optimized guided mode resonant structure as thermooptic sensor and liquid crystal tunable filter

Applicability of guided mode resonant structures to tunable optical filtering and sensing is demonstrated using nematic liquid crystals. As a sensor, a minimum refractive index detectivity of 10^-5 is demonstrated while as a tunable filter, tunability range of few tens of nanometers with 2-nm bandwidth is presented. The optimum design is achieved by maximizing the evanescent field region in the analyte which maximizes the overlap integral. The device can be operated in reflection or transmission modes at normal incidence. It can also be operated at a single wavelength by measuring the angular profile of the light beam.

Monthly Monetary Planning for China via Applying Method of Constructing Objective Function

Many economic problems can be formulated as optimization problems. Econometricians have long devoted their efforts to construct the econometric equation systems, while the corresponding objective functions receive few attentions. In recent twenty years, some techniques to construct the objective functions with economic implications have been developed, which might have a potential in economic decision-making. In the paper we app1y the method of constructing objective function to design an optimization model for monthly monetary planning of China. The real monthly data from l991 to l999 are used to evaluate the monthly economic situation. Our empirical experiment shows that the model gives a good short-term forecasting.
