Packet classification is one of the fundamental techniques required by various network management functionalities. As the state-of-the-art of software packet classification, decision-tree algorithms employ various geometrical cutting schemes to build optimized decision trees. However, existing cutting schemes cannot meet the desired performance on large rulesets because they sacrifice either cl...

Abstract—This paper deals with the cutting force monitoring for intelligent end milling operations. The authors have employed displacement sensors to monitor the cutting forces, as they are cheap and small enough to be built in the spindle structure. A monitoring method, which utilizes sensitive displacement sensors, is discussed. The sensors are installed in X Y directions near the front beari...

Bio -material cutting, such as meat deboning, is one of the most common operations in the food processing industry. It is also the largest employer of people in the United States. These tasks are currently manual processes with only limited use of fixed automation. The main difficulty in this task is the natural variability of the product's size and individual anatomy. The industry is looking t...

In-stent stenosis is a possible long-term complication of carotid artery stenting. A simple and safe technique of cutting balloon angioplasty is described for carotid in-stent stenosis. The stented vessel is imaged by three-dimensional (3D) rotational angiography, the acquired projection images are transferred to a workstation, and the stenotic lesion and implanted stent are reconstructed. The ...

Majority of the components machined in industries have cylindrical shapeswith large variety in shape, size and accuracy. An engineer has to select the tools based on his experience or by referring tooling catalogues which is time consuming. In the present research work, an expert system is developed for the optimal selection of carbide cutting tools for turning operation. Technical knowledge ac...

Research of virtual surgical operations has advanced in recent years based on virtual reality technology. One basic operation is virtual cutting simulation. In order to realize the virtual cutting, there are two types of research, i.e. using a voxel model and a polygonal model.The voxel model expresses volume and is made by a small cube size. The polygonal model expresses the surface and is con...
