    The purpose of this research is to implement and analyze the true lean transformation in a manufacturing start-up organization. Often, lean transformations are observed in developed manufacturing organizations having sophisticated production lines and numerous employees, where lean tools are utilized to reduce waste while increasing profit. However, this type of transformation is narrowly focused on quantifiable process results and falls short of the ultimate goal, establishing a true lean culture within the organization. As a result, it is recommended that true lean principles, philosophies, culture, operations environment and tools be applied at the very beginning stages of an organization, or during the start-up phase to embed true lean thinking and application in the entirety of the organization. In this analysis, a case study is performed on a team embarking on a start-up manufacturing enterprise. The team is trained on true lean and all the four aspects of true lean are applied for successfully implementing true lean in the start-up. In addition, a true lean implementation approach was generated and applied using PDCA (plan, do, check and act) model. The results of this case study are presented in this work

    All over the world; development of roadways, infrastructure is increasing. All the latest large span bridges require Structural bearing for their better performance, durability, life & low cost. These structural bearing enables freedom of movement between a superstructure and substructure, while transmitting vertical loads and rotation caused by the effect of operating loads, temperature variations, wind or earthquakes. These standard structural bearings are designed & manufactured as per well known international standards like BS: 5400, EN-1337, AASTHO, IRC 83, Indian Railway, etc. In the latest designed bridges, in addition to standard forces, torsional forces also occurs in the Bridges when high wind causes the suspended roadway to rotate and twist like a rolling wave & these are also generated at the time of turning of fast moving trains. This report is development of New Structural bearings suitable for torsional forces in addition to all standard features of bearings. This new development of structural bearing suitable for torsional forces will help to reduce the cost of structure & cost of bearings. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150711

    Discerning Singlet and Triplet scalars at the electroweak phase transition and Gravitational Wave

    Full text link
    In this article we examine the prospect of first order phase transition with a Y=0 real SU(2)SU(2) triplet extension of the Standard Model, which remains odd under Z2Z_2, considering the observed Higgs boson mass, perturbative unitarity, dark matter constraints, etc. Especially we investigate the role of Higgs-triplet quartic coupling considering one- and two-loop beta functions and compare the results with the complex singlet extension case. It is observed that at the one-loop level, no solution can be found for both, demanding the Planck scale perturbativity. However, for a much lower scale of 10410^4 GeV, the singlet case predicts first order phase transition consistent with the observed Higgs boson mass. On the contrary, at the two-loop, both the scenarios foresee strongly first order phase transition consistent with the observed Higgs mass with upper bounds of 310, 909 GeV on the triplet and singlet masses, respectively. This puts the triplet in apparent contradiction with the observed dark matter relic bound and thus requires additional field for that. The preferred regions of the parameter space in both cases are identified by benchmark points, that predict the Gravitational Waves with detectable frequencies in the present and future experiments.Comment: 28 pages, 20 figures, 5 table

    Distinguishing Inert Higgs Doublet and Inert Triplet Scenarios

    Full text link
    In this article we consider a comparative study between Type-I 2HDM and Y=0Y=0, SU(2)SU(2) triplet extensions having one Z2Z_2-odd doublet and triplet that render the desired dark matter(DM). For the inert doublet model (IDM) either a neutral scalar or pseudoscalar can be the DM, whereas for inert triplet model (ITM) it is a CP-even scalar. The bounds from perturbativity and vacuum stability are studied for both the scenarios by calculating the two-loop beta functions. While the quartic couplings are restricted to 0.10.20.1-0.2 for a Planck scale perturbativity for IDM, these are much relaxed (0.80.8 ) for ITM. The RG-improved potentials by Coleman-Weinberg show the regions of stability, meta-stability and instability of the electroweak vacuum. The constraints coming from DM relic, the direct and indirect experiments like XENON1T, LUX and H.E.S.S., Fermi-LAT allow the DM mass 700,1176\gtrsim 700, \,1176 GeV for IDM, ITM respectively. Though mass-splitting among Z2Z_2-odd particles in IDM is a possibility for ITM we have to rely on loop-corrections. The phenomenological signatures at the LHC show that the mono-lepton plus missing energy with prompt and displaced decays in the case of IDM and ITM can distinguish such scenarios at the LHC along with other complementary modes.Comment: 41 pages, 32 figures and 5 tables, citations added EPJC accepted versio

    Electroweak phase transition with radiative symmetry breaking in Type-II seesaw with inert doublet

    Full text link
    We consider the Type-II seesaw model extended with another Higgs doublet, which is odd under the Z2Z_2 symmetry. We look for the possibility of triggering the electroweak symmetry breaking via radiative effects. The Higgs mass parameter changes sign from being positive at higher energy scales to negative at lower energy scales in the presence of the TeV scalar triplet. The Planck scale perturbativity is demanded and the electroweak phase transition is studied using two-loop β\beta-functions. The maximum allowed values for the interaction quartic coupling of the second doublet field and the triplet field with the Higgs field are λ3=0.15\lambda_3=0.15 and λΦ1Δ=0.50\lambda_{\Phi_{1\Delta}}=0.50, respectively. Considering these EW values, the first-order phase transition, i.e., ϕ+(Tc)/Tc0.6\phi_{+}(T_c)/T_c\sim 0.6 is satisfied only for vanishing doublet and triplet bare mass parameters, mΦ2=0.0m_{\Phi_2}=0.0 GeV and mΔ=0.0m_{\Delta}=0.0 GeV. The small non-zero induced vacuum expectation value for the scalar triplet also generates the neutrino mass, and the lightest stable neutral particle from the inert doublet satisfies the dark matter constraints for the chosen parameter space. The impact of the thermal corrections on the stability of the electroweak vacuum is also studied, and the current experimental values of the Higgs mass and the top mass lie in the stable region both at the zero temperature and the finite temperature.Comment: 24 pages, 6 figure

    Power Optimization in Johnson Counter through Clock Gating with Static Energy Recovery Logic

    In the latest designs of VLSI, power dissipation is the main charge to take care. The dependency on micro electronics is rising as the size of chip is being compact & also the systems with minimal power are being prioritized. The computer systems are comprised of sequential circuitries & this is the reason that designs having minimal power absorption gave gained priority. In this document, we have suggested a schema on minimal power of Johnson Counter by employing a clock gating system & pass transistors in D flip flop. By making few judgements on power in SPICE, it is presumed that he suggested system design leads to minimal power decadence & has simple interlinking in contrast to the complicated traditional designs. In this document we put the outcomes of power in contrast in four methods that are TG ADCL i.e. Adiabatic Dynamic CMOS Logic, TG QSERL i.e. Quai static energy recovery logic, TG normal & TG split level pulse. Power has risen too high in TG ADCL, TG QSERL & TG normal

    A Security Architecute for Mobile Agent Based Creeper

    Mobile agents are active objects that can autonomously migrate in a network to perform tasks on behalf of their owners. Though they offer an important new method of performing transactions and information retrieval in networks, mobile agents also raise several security issues related to the protection of host resources as well as the data carried by an agent itself. Mobile agent technology offers a new computing paradigm in which a program, in the form of a software agent, can suspend its execution on a host computer, transfer itself to another agent-enabled host on the network, and resume execution on the new host. Mobile Agent (MA) technology raises significant security concerns and requires a thorough security framework with a wide range of strategies and mechanisms for the protection of both agent platform and mobile agents against possibly malicious reciprocal behavior. The security infrastructure should have the ability to flexibly and dynamically offer different solutions to achieve different qualities of security service depending on application requirements. The protection of mobile agent systems continues to be an active area of research that will enable future applications to utilize this paradigm of computing. Agent systems and mobile applications must balance security requirements with available security mechanisms in order to meet application level security goals.A security solution has been introduced, which protects both the mobile agent itself and the host resources that encrypt the data before passing it to mobile agent and decrypt it on the visited host sides i.e. it transfers the URL to the Mobile Agent System that will pass that encrypted URL to the server where it will be decrypted and used. The methods of Encryption/Decryption used are a Public-key Cipher System and a Symmetric Cipher System that focuses on submitting data to the server securely. The proposed approach solves the problem of malicious host that can harm mobile agent or the information it contain

    Exploring CP-violation in Y=0Y=0 inert triplet with real singlet

    Full text link
    In this article, we examine the Standard Model extended with a Y=0Y=0 Higgs triplet and a real singlet. We consider the Higgs triplet to be odd under the Z2Z_2 symmetry, and hence the lightest stable particle from the inert triplet becomes the dark matter candidate, whereas the real singlet is considered to be even under the Z2Z_2 symmetry. A dimension-5 effective term is introduced with the help of a real singlet, which breaks the CP symmetry and gives an additional source of CP-violation in the fermion sector. The phase transition proceeds in two-steps, with the symmetry breaking in the singlet direction occurring first and later leading to the usual electroweak symmetry breaking minima, while electroweak baryogenesis is associated with the second step. The parameters chosen for the electroweak phase transition are found to be consistent with the Planck scale stability and the perturbativity using two-loop β\beta-functions. The DM mass bound for inert triplet, i.e., 1.2 TeV (below which it is under abundance), also comes out to be consistent with the strongly first-order phase transition, which was not possible solely with inert triplet. The upper bound on the triplet mass comes out to be 3.8\leq 3.8 TeV, which satisfies the strongly first-order phase transition. This particular benchmark point also satisfies the correct baryon asymmetry of the Universe (6.13×1011)(6.13 \times 10^{-11}), and the gravitational wave spectrum also lies within the detectable frequency range of LISA (6.978×1041.690×102)(6.978 \times 10^{-4} - 1.690 \times 10^{-2} ) Hz and BBO (2.80×1031.096)(2.80\times 10^{-3}-1.096) Hz experiments.Comment: 25 pages, 7 figure
