In this study we are concerned with the non-exact two-stage two-dimensional guillotine cutting problem considering usable leftovers, in which stock plates remainders of the cutting patterns (non-used material or trim loss) can be used in the future, if they are large enough to fulfill future demands of items (ordered smaller plates). This cutting problem can be characterized as a residual bin-p...

Micromilling process is used for fabrication and manufacturing of miniaturized components. Very high spindle rotational speeds are required in micromilling to reduce the chip load and to counter the low flexural rigidity of the micro-tool while machining hard materials. Apart from the high rotational speed (>100,000 rpm) which can excite dynamic instability, the dynamic force variation in micro...

Even though the Lavandula species may be propagated by seeds, it should not be the preferred propagation method because it causes a great lack of uniformity. On the other hand, asexually propagated lavender crops would provide more homogeneous crops, and clones from high quality plant material would increase the odds for obtaining a higher quality essential oil. However, problems such as poor r...

OBJECTIVE Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of diagnostic lumbar punctures. Both a non-cutting needle design and the use of smaller size needles have been shown to greatly reduce the risk of PDPH. Nevertheless, larger cutting needles are still widely used. This study describes the process of changing the needle in an outpatient clinic of a Danish neurology department....

As object-oriented programs evolve, they may suffer from the “tyranny of dominant decomposition”: The program can be modularised only one way at a time, leaving cross-cutting concerns scattered across many modules and tangled with one another. Aspectoriented programming (AOP) tries to remedy this by encapsulating these concerns into aspects. Aspect mining identifies such cross-cutting concerns ...

Cutting or welding heavy metal requires higher laser output power than virtually any other type of materials processing application. In the oil industry, an important heavy metal cutting application is creating the slotted liners used to separate oil from well sediments such as sand and gravel. Traditionally, this was done with diffusion-cooled CO2 slab lasers, but now, kilowatt-class fiber las...

We present an exact method, based on an arc-flow formulation with side constraints, for solving bin packing and cutting stock problems — including multi-constraint variants — by simply representing all the patterns in a very compact graph. Our method includes a graph compression algorithm that usually reduces the size of the underlying graph substantially without weakening the model. Our formul...

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to reduce fabric consumption by improving marker efficiency. improvements the existing markers lead wastage during cutting process. Methods: Gerber CAD/CAM software version AccuMark 8.5.1 used in present was made pattern and marker. A noble approach conduct experiment through software. Easy produced at initial stage then it replaces actual market conside...
