A Polyhedral Study of Mixed 0-1 Set
We consider a variant of the well-known single node fixed charge network flow set with constant capacities. This set arises from the relaxation of more general mixed integer sets such as lot-sizing problems with multiple suppliers. We provide a complete polyhedral characterization of the convex hull of the given set
Proceedings of the Second International Mobile Satellite Conference (IMSC 1990)
Presented here are the proceedings of the Second International Mobile Satellite Conference (IMSC), held June 17-20, 1990 in Ottawa, Canada. Topics covered include future mobile satellite communications concepts, aeronautical applications, modulation and coding, propagation and experimental systems, mobile terminal equipment, network architecture and control, regulatory and policy considerations, vehicle antennas, and speech compression
Semi-automatic liquid filling system using NodeMCU as an integrated Iot Learning tool
Computer programming and IoT are the key skills required in Industrial
Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0). The industry demand is very high and therefore related
students in this field should grasp adequate knowledge and skill in college or university
prior to employment. However, learning technology related subject without
applying it to an actual hardware can pose difficulty to relate the theoretical knowledge
to problems in real application. It is proven that learning through hands-on
activities is more effective and promotes deeper understanding of the subject matter
(He et al. in Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) into STEM undergraduate education:
Case study of a modern technology infused courseware for embedded system
course. Erie, PA, USA, pp 1–9 (2016)). Thus, to fulfill the learning requirement, an
integrated learning tool that combines learning of computer programming and IoT
control for an industrial liquid filling system model is developed and tested. The
integrated learning tool uses NodeMCU, Blynk app and smartphone to enable the
IoT application. The system set-up is pre-designed for semi-automation liquid filling
process to enhance hands-on learning experience but can be easily programmed for
full automation. Overall, it is a user and cost friendly learning tool that can be developed
by academic staff to aid learning of IoT and computer programming in related
education levels and field
Low Power Memory/Memristor Devices and Systems
This reprint focusses on achieving low-power computation using memristive devices. The topic was designed as a convenient reference point: it contains a mix of techniques starting from the fundamental manufacturing of memristive devices all the way to applications such as physically unclonable functions, and also covers perspectives on, e.g., in-memory computing, which is inextricably linked with emerging memory devices such as memristors. Finally, the reprint contains a few articles representing how other communities (from typical CMOS design to photonics) are fighting on their own fronts in the quest towards low-power computation, as a comparison with the memristor literature. We hope that readers will enjoy discovering the articles within
Data Acquisition Applications
Data acquisition systems have numerous applications. This book has a total of 13 chapters and is divided into three sections: Industrial applications, Medical applications and Scientific experiments. The chapters are written by experts from around the world, while the targeted audience for this book includes professionals who are designers or researchers in the field of data acquisition systems. Faculty members and graduate students could also benefit from the book
Technology 2001: The Second National Technology Transfer Conference and Exposition, volume 2
Proceedings of the workshop are presented. The mission of the conference was to transfer advanced technologies developed by the Federal government, its contractors, and other high-tech organizations to U.S. industries for their use in developing new or improved products and processes. Volume two presents papers on the following topics: materials science, robotics, test and measurement, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, electronics, and software engineering
Combining SOA and BPM Technologies for Cross-System Process Automation
This paper summarizes the results of an industry case study that introduced a cross-system business process automation solution based on a combination of SOA and BPM standard technologies (i.e., BPMN, BPEL, WSDL). Besides discussing major weaknesses of the existing, custom-built, solution and comparing them against experiences with the developed prototype, the paper presents a course of action for transforming the current solution into the proposed solution. This includes a general approach, consisting of four distinct steps, as well as specific action items that are to be performed for every step. The discussion also covers language and tool support and challenges arising from the transformation

Laboratory directed research and development annual report. Fiscal year 1994
The Department of Energy Order DOE 5000.4A establishes DOE`s policy and guidelines regarding Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) at its multiprogram laboratories. This report represents Pacific Northwest Laboratory`s (PNL`s) LDRD report for FY 1994. During FY 1994, 161 LDRD projects were selected for support through PNL`s LDRD project selection process. Total funding allocated to these projects was 35K or less. The projects described in this report represent PNL`s investment in its future and are vital to maintaining the ability to develop creative solutions for the scientific and technical challenges faced by DOE and the nation. The report provides an overview of PNL`s LDRD program, the management process used for the program, and project summaries for each LDRD project
