As business environments are rapidly changing, the manufacturing system must be reconfigured to adapt to various customer needs. In order to cope with this challenge, it is quintessential to test industrial control logic rapidly and easily in the design time, and monitor operational behavior in the run time of automated manufacturing system. Proposed integrated model for virtual prototyping and...

Equipment control functions that were once hardwired are being implemented with software and very large scale integrated (VLSI) devices. Often this transition has resulted in increased flexibility, improved quality, and decreased costs. At the same time, it has created new concerns and challenges concerning worker safety. The visible and welldefined ladder diagram for relay-logic has been repla...

Using a functional renormalization-group method, we obtain the phase diagram of the two-leg ladder system within the Holstein-Hubbard model, which includes both electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions. Our renormalization-group technique allows us to analyze the problem for both weak and strong electronphonon couplings. We show that, in contrast to results from conventional weak-coup...

The phase diagram of the two-leg t-Jz ladder is explored, using the density-matrix renormalization group method. Results are obtained for energy gaps, electron density profiles, and correlation functions for the half filled and quarter filled cases. The effective Lagrangian velocity parameter v is shown to vanish at half filling. The behavior of the one-hole gap in the Nagaoka limit is investig...
