Nowadays cell phone is the most common communicating used by mass people. SMS based communication is a cheap and popular communication method. It is human tendency to have the opportunity to write SMS in their mother language. Text input in mother language is more flexible when the alphabets of that language are printed on the keypad. Bangla mobile keypad based on phonetics has been proposed ea...

Self-aligned double patterning (SADP) has become a promising technique to push pattern resolution limit to sub-22nm technology node. Although SADP provides good overlay controllability, it encounters many challenges in physical design stages to obtain conflict-free layout decomposition. In this paper, we study the impact on placement by different standard cell layout decomposition strategies. W...

Standard cell layouts may need only slight modifications to meet timing constraints. In these situations, general purpose algorithms, which consider numerous parameters of the layout, may be too time consuming or too coarse to make the changes where needed. This paper presents an incremental timing driven placement algorithm designed to “cleanup” a handful of critical paths in a previously plac...

Cell culture seed trains-the generation of a sufficient viable cell number for the inoculation of the production scale bioreactor, starting from incubator scale-are time- and cost-intensive. Accordingly, a seed train offers potential for optimization regarding its layout and the corresponding proceedings. A tool has been developed to determine the optimal points in time for cell passaging from ...

This paper experimentally investigates the effectiveness of regularly-placed bit-slice layout and transistor-level optimization to datapath circuit performance. We focus on cell-base design flows with transistorlevel circuit optimization. We examine the effectiveness through design experiments of 32-bit carry select adder and 16-bit tree-style multiplier in a 0.35μm technology. From the experim...

The expression levels of thousands of genes in different tissues or cells in different conditions can be detected all at one time by DNA microarray technology. A new, gridlayout method for the visualization results of hierarchical cluster analysis of DNA microarray data is proposed and incorporated in the Microarray Interactive Graphics Toolkit (MIGT). The grid-layout consists of a set of regul...

this paper presents a strategy for using harmony search algorithm in facility layout optimization problems. in this paper an adapted harmony search algorithm is developed for solving facility layout optimization problems. this method finds an optimal facility arrangement in an existing layout. two real-world case studies are employed to demonstrate the efficiency of this model. a comparison is ...

Reducing cost of material handling has been a big challenge for companies. Flexible manufacturing system employed automated guided vehicles (AGV) to maintain efficiency and flexibility. This paper presents a new non-linear mathematical programming model to group n machines into N loops, to make an efficient configuration for AGV system in Tandem layout. The model minimizes bot...

Building façades can feature different patterns depending on the architectural style, functionality, and size of buildings; therefore, reconstructing these be complicated. In particular, when semantic are reconstructed from point cloud data, uneven density noise make it difficult to accurately determine façade structure. When investigating layouts, Gestalt principles applied cluster visually si...
