-This research paper proposes the inspection system of heat pipe cooling for electronic devices, such as CPU in personal computer, laptop computer and so on. The inspection system is an essential part in production process of heat pipes CPU cooler. To ensure the high quality product, a 100% quality checking is taken into account. Generally, heat pipe inspection system is conducted by human ears...

This note studies the optimal inspection policies in a supply chain in which a manufacturer purchases components from a supplier but has no direct control of component quality. The manufacturer uses an inspection policy and a damage cost sharing contract to encourage the supplier to improve the component quality. We find that all-or-none inspection policies are optimal for the manufacturer if t...

Quality inspection of textile products is an important problem for fabric manufacturers. Currently, the quality control of a fabric of width 1.6-2.0m. which moves at a speed of 8-20 m/min is mostly done by human operators. Texture analysis plays an important role in automatic visual inspection of surfaces. There has been a limited number of applications of texture processing techniques to autom...

Software inspection is a necessary and important tool for software quality assurance. Since it was introduced by Fagan at IBM in 1976, arguments exist as to which method should be adopted to carry out the exercise, whether it should be paper-based or toolbased, and what reading technique should be used on the inspection document. Extensive works have been done to determine the effectiveness of ...

ct such as color or width inconsistencies, slubs, broken ends, etc. The tests on the quality of yarns are usually performed at the output of spinning-mills. Quality test runs for looms and knitting machines require interruption of the weaving process. This interruption is not practically feasible for the machines that are intended for large production runs of fabric rolls. The quality test is c...

The progression of industry, toward mass personalisation, initiates added complexities to the quality control and part inspection processes. Mass produced custom parts require varying, and sometimes unique inspection routines, with only certain features of a part requiring inspection. Inspection of these parts must occur at a higher frequency than batched production. This leads to an increase i...

The automatic inspection of quality in fruits is becoming of paramount importance in order to decrease production costs and increase quality standards. Computer vision techniques are used in fruit industry for fruit grading, sorting, and defect detection. In this chapter, we review recent approaches for automatic inspection of quality in fruits using computer vision techniques. Particularly, we...

Supply chain quality inspection (SCQI), which is carried out to measure the product quality based on quality requirements, is a widely-adopted instrument when a buyer purchases products from suppliers. However, when suppliers are deliberately cheating to manipulate the products and falsify the specific testing methods (i.e., quality deception), traditional operation management theories fail to ...

With the increasingly demanding international regulations for import and export of food products, as well as with the increased awareness and sophistication of consumers, the food industry needs accurate, fast and efficient quality inspection means. Each producer seeks to ensure that their products satisfy all consumer's expectations and that the appropriate quality level of each product is off...

Efficient inspection and maintenance of complex industrial systems subject to degradation effects, such as corrosion, is important for safety and economic reasons. With appropriate statistical modelling, the utilisation of inspection resources and the quality of inferences can be greatly improved. We develop a suitable Bayesian spatio-temporal dynamic linear model for problems such as wall thic...
