PhFit, a new Phase-type fitting tool is presented in this paper. PhFit allows for approximating distributions or set of samples not only by continuous but by discrete Phasetype distributions as well. The implemented algorithms separate the fitting of the body and the tail part of the distribution which results in satisfactory fitting also for heavy-tail distributions. Moreover, PhFit allows the...

The number of people who design typefaces has drastically increased in the last twenty years. However, not all typefaces work as they should, i.e., as a group of characters with shared attributes. We present a tool for helping type designers in their creative process, which explores the anatomic relations among characters of a typeface. Having computer-aided design as a goal, our tool helps in ...

in this research using statistical analysis the effect of machining parameters such as cutting velocity, feed rate, and tool type on machining power (p m ) in machining process of en-ac 48000 aluminum alloy has been studied. a taguchi l 27 standard array has been utilized as the most economical array to evaluate the factors and their interaction. en-ac 48000 alloy is frequently used in automoti...

The reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is a new technology and paradigm that resolves the contradictions regarding high efficiency, low cost flexible production in mass of part families. Reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) are core components RMSs. A approach proposed for design RMTs, which closely related to process planning given box-type family. concepts processing unit segment presen...
