Prime advantage of flexible manufacturing systems(FMS) is a flexibility. Flexibility is expected to prolong the service life of a manufacturing facility and enable it to respond quickly and economically to dynamic market change. The FMS loading decision is concerned with the allocation of operations and tools to machines subject to technological and capacity constraints of the system. Modern FMS loading problem has the multiple objectives such as processing cost, time and work load balance. We propose multi-objectives which could be used to formulate the loading/routeing problem and sequencing decision which should be adopted for each part type in order to maximize the machine flexibility by Hamming distance matrix based on Incidance matrix. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed model.

Several different production technologies for Low-Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) have been proposed over the last years. However, finally the progress in Excimer-laser-based crystallization has lead to the best cost-to-performance ratio of LTPS manufacturing for use in active-matrix-based displays. In this paper, we report on recent and significant technical advances in light sources, optical beam deliveries and beam irradiation systems targeted at enabling ultra-uniform mura-free LTPS active-matrix backplanes while simultaneously lowering production costs and increasing throughput.

For constructing virtual environment it is more natural to model object as deformable body than as rigid body. High accuracy of simulation of model and low-latency computational cost for real-time simulation should be guaranteed. We pre-compute Green function through finite element analysis of deformable body and it is possible to simulate deformation of body in real-time environment using Capacitance Matrix Algorithm. Also, the capacitance matrix algorithm enables to construct the haptic rendering which serves the reaction force through a haptic device. The Newmark scheme is used for the more realistic haptic rendering and dynamic simulation in real-time.

Accelerated life tests (ALTs) are frequently used in manufacturing industries to evaluate the reliability of products within a reasonable amount of time and cost. Test units are subjected to elevated stresses which yield quick failures. Most of the previous works on designing ALT plans are focused on tests that involve a single stress. Many times more than one stress factor influence the product's functioning. This paper deals with the design of optimum modified ramp-stress ALT plan for Burr type XII distribution with Type-I censoring under two stress factors, viz., voltage and switching rate each at two levels- low and high. It is assumed that usage time to failure is power law function of switching rate, and voltage increases linearly with time according to modified ramp-stress scheme. The cumulative exposure model is used to incorporate the effect of changing stresses. The optimum plan is devised using D-optimality criterion wherein the ${\log}_{10}$ of the determinant of Fisher information matrix is maximized. The method developed has been explained using a numerical example and sensitivity carried out.

The use of frequency-dependent spectral element matrix (or exact dynamic stiffness matrix) in structural dynamics may provide very accurate solutions, together with drastically reducing the number of degrees of freedom to improve the computation efficiency and cost problems. Thus, this paper develops a spectral element model for the coupled thermoelastic beam which axially moves with constant speed under a uniform tension. The accuracy of the spectral element model is then evaluated by comparing the natural frequencies obtained by the present element model with those obtained by the conventional finite element model.

This paper proposes a pose-graph based SLAM method using an upward-looking camera and artificial landmarks for AGVs in factory environments. The proposed method provides a way to acquire the camera extrinsic matrix and improves the accuracy of feature observation using a low-cost camera. SLAM is conducted by optimizing AGV's explored path using the artificial landmarks installed on the ceiling at various locations. As the AGV explores, the pose nodes are added based on the certain distance from odometry and the landmark nodes are registered when AGV recognizes the fiducial marks. As a result of the proposed scheme, a graph network is created and optimized through a G2O optimization tool so that the accumulated error due to the slip is minimized. The experiment shows that the proposed method is robust for SLAM in real factory environments.

This paper considers a model predictive control problem of discrete-time constrained systems with time-varying delay. For this problem, a delay dependent state feedback control approach is used to achieve asymptotic stabilization of systems with input constraints. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a new stability condition is obtained via linear matrix inequality formulation to find cost monotonicity condition of the model predictive control algorithm which guarantee the closed loop stability. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a numerical example in order to show the effectiveness of our results.

The reactor power control system is described in the fashion of the order increased LQR system. To obtain the optimal state feedback gain vectors, the weighting matrix of the performance function should be determined. Since the contentional method has some limitations, stochastic searching methods are investigated to optimize the LQR weighting matrix using the modified genetic algorithm combined with the simulated annealing, a new optimizing tool named the hybrid MGA-SA is developed to determine the weighting parameters of the LQR system. This optimizing tool provides a more systematic approach in designing the LQR system. Since it can be easily incorporated with any forms of the cost function, it also provides the great flexibility in the optimization problems.

It has many variables and factors to design the friction materials for automotive brake pads. The purpose of this study is to develop the proper method for design of low-cost and to know friction characteristics of each raw materials. For the purpose of examining the effect of each major raw materials, we used the Taguchi L9(3$^4$)orthogonal matrix and 1/5 scale dynamo machine for evaluation of the friction characteristics of composite brake pads. By adapting the Taguchi method, it is easy to investigate the influence of each component in complicated composites friction materials. After analyzing the testing results by the Taguchi method, the effect of factors and levels influenced friction behavior was studied.

As the application of NPM in waste administration branch this paper proposes a new waste management method in order to increase the efficiency of resources and reduce the quantity of waste. First the matrix method is suggested which comprehensively consider and integrate the proposals of different government departments. Moreover the inhabitant's attitude toward the new waste management measures was investigated. Based on the investigation the evaluation function was made, which include three elements: necessary budget, the effect of cost decrease and the environmental burden decrease. The optimal method of budget allocation to maximize social welfare is proposed under the condition of limited budget by the evaluation function. By applying this system further local governments will be able to determine their adequate service level and budget size.
