this paper studies the multi-stage supply chain system (msscm) controlled by the kanban mechanism. in the kanban system, decision making is based on the number of kanbans as well as batch sizes. a kanban mechanism is employed to assist in linking different production processes in a supply chain system in order to implement the scope of just-in-time (jit) philosophy. for a msscm, a mixed-integer...

Based on a theoretical erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) model, we have proposed an application of disturbance observer(DOB) with proportional/integral/differential(PID) controller to EDFA for minimizing gain-transient time of wavelength -division-multiplexing (WDM) multi channels in optical amplifier in channel add/drop networks. We have dramatically reduced the gain-transient time to less t...

In this paper a new Modified Invasive Weed Optimization is proposed to find a parameters of fuzzy PID controller as a stabilizer in multi-machine power system. Actually, IWO is a bio-inspired numerical algorithm which is inspired from weed colonization and motivated by a common phenomenon in agriculture that is colonization of invasive weeds. Also, finding the parameters of PID controller in po...

Authentic program modification is very important for a multi-application smart card system since applications in the system are realized after the issuance of the smart card. In this paper, we propose a framework for such authentic program modification. In our framework, before issuing a smart card to an individual, the card issuer stores a unique long bit string called PID on the card. From th...

This paper describes the development and tuning methods for a novel self-organizing fuzzy proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. Before applying fuzzy logic, the PID gains are tuned using a conventional tuning method. At supervisory level, fuzzy logic readjusts the PID gains online. In the first tuning method, fuzzy logic at the supervisory level readjusts the three PID gains during...

BACKGROUND The 10 warning signs of primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) have been promoted by various organizations in Europe and the United States to predict PID. However, the ability of these warning signs to identify children with PID has not been rigorously tested. OBJECTIVE The main goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of these 10 warning signs in predicting defined P...

The paper presents a novel self adjusting wind energy utilization scheme using a modified single phase operation of the three phase induction generator. The proposed scheme is supplemented by a voltage stabilization switched filter compensation schemes which is controlled by a dynamic Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm MOGA error driven self adjusting PID controller. The Green Plug Filter Compen...
