The development of new technologies has confronted the entire domain of science and industry with issues of big data's scalability as well as its integration with the purpose of forecasting analytics in its life cycle. In predictive analytics, the forecast of near-future and recent past - or in other words, the now-casting - is the continuous study of real-time events and constantly updated whe...

The three-dimensional sand mold printing technology (3DSP) for casting molds via a binding jet is breakthrough in the mold-making process. It favorable combination of digital forming and casting, which significantly interesting research area foundry industry. This study has proposed an edge extraction approach region bed image. With information, measures accuracy printed molds, offers basis ass...

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy aggregate production planning (APP) model for blending problem in a brass factory which is the problem of computing optimal amounts of raw materials for the total production of several types of brass in a period. The model has deterministic and imprecise parameters which follows triangular possibility distributions. The brass casting APP model can not always be...

This work provides approaches to designing and fabricating soft fluidic elastomer robots. That is, three viable actuator morphologies composed entirely from soft silicone rubber are explored, and these morphologies are differentiated by their internal channel structure, namely, ribbed, cylindrical, and pleated. Additionally, three distinct casting-based fabrication processes are explored: lamin...

BACKGROUND Conventional investing and casting techniques are time-consuming and usually requires 2-4 h for completion. Accelerated nonstandard, casting techniques have been reported to achieve similar quality results in significantly less time, namely, in 30-40 min. During casting, it is essential to achieve compensation for the shrinkage of solidifying alloy by investment expansion. The metal ...

Solidification rate of the casting affects greatly on the microstructure, quality as well as the mechanical properties of the casting. In centrifugal castings solidification rate is faster compared to gravity casting but still solidification depends on various process parameters like, die wall temperature, pouring temperature of the molten metal, wall thickness of the die and also rotational sp...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to implement the some statistical process control (SPC) techniques in the industry that is offering its customers the widest and latest range of sealing solutions for various applications in the automotive industry. The power of SPC lies in the ability to examine a process and the sources of variation in that process, using tools that give weightage to ob...

In this work, we investigate gaze selection in the context of mid-air hand gestural manipulation of 3D rigid bodies on monoscopic displays. We present the results of a user study with 12 participants in which we compared the performance of Gaze, a Raycasting technique (2D Cursor) and a Virtual Hand technique (3D Cursor) to select objects in two 3D mid-air interaction tasks. Also, we compared se...

This paper introduces a new technique to detect the coronary arteries as well as other heart’s peripheral vessels. After finding the location of the myocardium through a graph theoretic segmentation method, the algorithm models the heart with a biaxial ellipsoid. For each point of this ellipsoid, we compute the collection of intensities that are normal to the surface. This collection is then fi...
