Original scientific paper Product design engineering is a complex discipline, which is undergoing a transformation from informal and largely experience-based domain to scientific oriented domain. Computational intelligence can contribute greatly to product design process, as it is becoming more and more evident that adding intelligence to existing computer aids, such as computer aided design sy...

Increasingly stringent international diesel particulate emissions standards have re-established interest in Diesel filters. Modern Diesel engine technology, with computerized engine management systems and advanced, common rail injection systems, needs to be fully exploited in order to allow the application of efficient and durable Diesel filter systems, usually supported by catalytic aids, as s...

non-destructive ultrasonic testing is one of the methods utilized to evaluate quality of agricultural produce. transducers used in this method are made for basically industrial applications. since ultrasonic attenuation of waves in agricultural produce is very high, industrial transducers cannot be used in agriculture and needs to be modified. this is done with horns that concentrate energy on ...

Logic engineering often involves the development of modeling tools and inference mechanisms (both standard and non-standard) which are targeted for use in practical applications where expressiveness in representation must be traded off for efficiency in use. Some representative examples of such applications would be the structuring and querying of knowledge on the semantic web, or the represent...

Blackboards (BB) are global memory-resident databases, accessible through a uniform protocol and tailored for expert source cooperation. They have been developed for continuous speech understanding (Hearsay-II~), and successfully used in signal processing (HASP-SIAPZ), civil engineering design (Destiny3), and general expert systems shells (BB14). In a way, any expert system working memory is a ...

Computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application (CATIA) was originally developed by Dassault Systems to design and manufacture complex geometries for jet fighters. Lately, it has been adopted as a multi-platform 3-D product life cycle management solution and is used widely as a design platform in several industries, including the automobile, aerospace, ship-building, and consumer elect...

The CAGE/GEM(TM) software toolkit for genetic engineering is briefly described. The system functionally uses color graphics and is menu driven. It integrates genetics and features information ("Overlays") with information based on sequence analysis ("Representations"). The system is structured around CAD (Computer Aided Design) principles. The CAGE (Computer Aided Genetic Engineering) aspects o...

As oil and gas production moves to ever more challenging areas, increased use of technology becomes increasingly important. One technology that can contribute towards achieving safe and economic production from such areas is computer-aided process engineering. We outline the use of such technology in two (of many) instances: Managed pressure drilling (MPD) for deep-offshore applications and nat...

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...
