109 2:50 PM Maintaining Consistent Conditions over a Wide Range of Material Deposition Rates in Beam-Based Additive Manufacturing: Jack Beuth1; Shane Esola1; Raymond Walker2; 1Carnegie Mellon University; 2Keystone Synergistic Enterprises Signifi cant advances have been made in the development of laser and electron beam-based freeform fabrication processes using powder injection, powder bed or w...

In this section, we will discuss how to solve the proposed trinocular stereo matching model in details. We apply an iterative optimization algorithm to minimize the energy function (1) defined in our paper, and compute disparity and occlusion by Belief Propagation algorithm. Similar to [2], the optimization process iterates between two steps: 1) estimate occlusion given disparity, and 2) estima...

Material flow in a chemical processing plant often follows complicated control laws and involve plant capacity constraints. Importantly, the process involves discrete scenarios which when modeled in a programming format involves if-then-else statements. Therefore, a formulation of an optimization problem of such processes becomes complicated with nonlinear and non-differentiable objective and c...

Systems that filter web search results to return open educational resources need evaluation. The Cranfield method, which is widely used in information retrieval evaluation, can be used as the basis of a model for evaluating such systems. The Cranfield method requires a collection of resources with associated judgments. In this paper, we describe an experiment to collect judgments of whether ope...

1. We show cycle detection results using the proposed unsupervised constraint mining approach on the large-scale ImageNet 2012 dataset as well as three image datasets with generic objects (CIFAR-10), fine-grained objects (CUB200-2011), and scene classes (MIT indoor-67), respectively. 2. We show examples of easy negative image pairs (i.e., image pairs with large Euclidean distance in the feature...

In this paper, the free vibration behaviors and flexural sensitivity of atomic force microscope cantilevers with small-scale effects are investigated. To study the small-scale effects on natural frequencies and flexural sensitivity, the consistent couple stress theory is applied. In this theory, the couple stress is assumed skew-symmetric. Unlike the classical beam theory, the new model contain...
