Study on Automatic Card Punching Machine for Jacquard

[Human factors in card punching operation].

Jacquard Fabrics on Demand

Technological developments are key to the future success of the textile industry. The future requires entirely new manufacturing processes. There has been a remarkable change in the entire fabric manufacturing process with the implementation of computer programming and processing. Latest textile CAD/CAM systems and other technological developments have given a substantial boost to the manufactu...

Benefits from a SMED Application in a Punching Machine

This paper presents an application of the SingleMinute Exchange of Die (SMED) methodology to a turret punching machine in an elevators company, in Portugal. The work was developed during five months, in the ambit of a master thesis in Industrial Engineering and Management. The Lean Production tool SMED was applied to reduce setup times in order to improve the production flexibility of the machi...

Automatic Test Generation for Java-Card Applets

Open-cards have introduced a new life cycle for smart card embedded applications. In the case of Java Card, they have raised the problem of embedded object-oriented applet validation. In this article, we describe a methodology for Java Card applet verification, and its application on a case study. This methodology is based on automatic test generation. We first take benefits of the Java Card pl...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...
