Strategic smart factory design is essential to utilize Industry 4.0 technologies in production environments effectively. Although a series of earlier reviews the context manufacturing have been published, so far none addresses design, i. e. planning and operation factories. This review provides an overview recent research field by systematizing opportunities, risks success factors as ava...

Reovirus replication and assembly are thought to occur within cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, which we call viral factories. A strain-dependent difference in the morphology of these structures reflects more effective microtubule association by the mu2 core proteins of some viral strains, which form filamentous factories, than by those of others, which form globular factories. For this report, we ...

Robots are no longer confined to factories, but they are progressively spreading to urban, social and assistive domains. In order to become handy co-workers and helpful assistants, they must be endowed with quite different abilities than their industrial ancestors. Research on service robots aims to make them intrinsically safe to people, easy to teach by non-experts, able to manipulate not onl...

In contrast to bioreactors the metabolites within the microbial cells are converted in an impure atmosphere, yet the productivity seems to be well regulated and not affected by changes in operation variables. These features are attributed to integral metabolic network within the microorganism. With the advent of neo-integrative proteomic approaches the understanding of integration of metabolic ...

We compare the physics potential of planned superbeams with the one of neutrino factories. Therefore, the experimental setups as well as the most relevant uncertainties and errors are considered on the same footing as much as possible. We use an improved analysis including the full parameter correlations, as well as statistical, systematical, and degeneracy errors. Especially, degeneracies have...

Spontaneous breaking of CPT is possible in string theory. We show that it can arise at a level within reach of experiments at meson factories currently being built or designed. For φ, B, and τ-charm factories, we discuss the likely experimental string signatures and provide estimates of the bounds that might be attained in these machines.

Plug and produce robot assistants have been developed to support flexible automation in smart factories as a shared resource on the shop floor. However, although technology is reaching commercial maturity, there still scarcity of methods analysing their implementation feasibility, making it difficult evaluate use real-world operations. In this study, we propose an approach that combines physica...

Industrial robots and associated control methods are continuously developing. With the recent progress in field of artificial intelligence, new perspectives industrial robot strategies have emerged, prospects towards cognitive arisen. AI-based robotic systems strongly becoming one main areas focus, as flexibility deep understanding complex manufacturing processes key advantage to raise competit...

Design of distributed energy management systems composed several agents such as factories and buildings is important for realizing smart cities. In addition, demand response saving the power consumption also important. this paper, we propose a design method with real-time response, in which both electrical thermal are considered. Here, use ADMM (Alternating Direction Method Multipliers), well k...

Previous studies suggest that reactive dyes can induce IgE mediated bronchoconstrictions. To evaluate the significance of specific IgE and IgG antibodies in workers exposed to reactive dyes, we studied the prevalence of Black GR-specific IgG by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, as well as Black GR-specific IgE by RAST, in 176 workers employed in 1 reactive dye factory and 4 neighboring factori...
