This paper presents design, hardware, software, and parameter optimization for a novel robotic automation system. RABiT is a Rapid Automated Biodosimetry Tool for high throughput radiological triage. The design considerations guiding the hardware and software architecture are presented with focus on methods of communication, ease of implementation, and need for real-time control versus soft tim...

We examine the history of cake cutting mechanisms and discuss the efficiency of their allocations. In the case of piecewise uniform preferences, we define a game that in the presence of strategic agents has equilibria that are not dominated by the allocations of any mechanism. We identify that the equilibria of this game coincide with the allocations of an existing cake cutting mechanism.

To improve the cutting efficiency, one of key approaches is to control with constant force in the full depth working condition. And the controller design is vital to realize the real-time feasibility and robustness of the system. A neuron optimization based PID approach is proposed in this paper and adopted in the NC cutting process. This approach optimizes the parameters of PID controller real...

AImtrm--The quality of a laser-made cut is of the utmost importance in laser processing. Any improvement in this area would be of considerable significance, in that it would lead to an elimination of post-machining operations. Currently the mechanisms governing the laser cutting process are not fully understood, partially due to the fact that laser cutting is a highly complex thermal process. I...

Drilling of glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite is different from metallic materials due to its mechanical properties. The drilling of this material may generate delamination of drilled holes on workpiece. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of the cutting parameters, such as cutting speed and feed rate, point angle of drill and material thickness on delaminati...

Now a days the general manufacturing problem can be described as the achievement of a predefined product quality with given equipment, cost and time constraints. There is a rapid development in the quality of advanced aero space materials like aluminum and its alloys with improved properties. The difficulties in machining of these materials economically and effectively are limiting their applic...

This paper presents the suitable depth of cut, spindle speed and feed rate that will be chosen during machining. If thus parameters are not considered, this can provoke abnormal tool behavior such as chatter. Chatter will limit the tool life which only can be use for just a few times. To predict the chatter occurs, the parameters will be use are spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate. CNC ma...

Lithium-ion batteries are at the forefront of current advanced battery technology development for Hybrid-Electric Vehicles (HEV). While first vehicles with Li-ion batteries have entered the market, it is understood that significant technology advancements are still required to establish consumer confidence in the new battery technology and to reduce battery cost for serving a broader market. Th...
