Acceptance sampling plan for multiple manufacturing lines using EWMA process capability index
The problem of developing a product acceptance determination procedure for multiple characteristics has attracted the quality assurance practitioners. Due to sufficient demands of consumers, it may not be possible to deliver the quantity ordered on time using the process based on one manufacturing line. So, in factories, product is manufactured using multiple manufacturing lines and combine it. In this manuscript, we present the designing of an acceptance sampling plan for products from multiple independent manufacturing lines using exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic of the process capability index. The plan parameters such as the sample size and the acceptance number will be determined by satisfying both the producer's and the consumer's risks. The efficiency of the proposed plan will be discussed over the existing sampling plan. The tables are given for industrial use and explained with the help of industrial examples. We conclude that the use of the proposed plan in these industries minimizes the cost and time of inspection. Smaller the sample size means low inspection cost. The proposed plan for some non-normal distributions can be extended as a future research. The determination of sampling plan using cost model is also interested area for the future research. ? 2017 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.11Ysciescopu
A Time Truncated Moving Average Chart for the Weibull Distribution
A control chart of monitoring the number of failures is proposed with a moving average scheme, when the life of an item follows a Weibull distribution. A specified number of items are put on a time truncated life test and the number of failures is observed. The proposed control chart has been evaluated by the average run lengths (ARLs) under different parameter settings. The control constant and the test time multiplier are to be determined by considering the in-control ARL. It is observed that the proposed control chart is more efficient in detecting a shift in the process as compared with the existing time truncated control chart. ? 2013 IEEE.11Ysciescopu

A new fractional derivative without singular kernel: Application to the modelling of the steady heat flow
In this article we propose a new fractional derivative without singular
kernel. We consider the potential application for modeling the steady
heat-conduction problem. The analytical solution of the fractional-order heat
flow is also obtained by means of the Laplace transform.Comment: 1 figur
Heat conductivity in the presence of a quantized degree of freedom
We propose a model with a quantized degree of freedom to study the heat
transport in quasi-one dimensional system. Our simulations reveal three
distinct temperature regimes. In particular, the intermediate regime is
characterized by heat conductivity with a temperature exponent much
greater than 1/2 that was generally found in systems with point-like particles.
A dynamical investigation indicates the occurrence of non-equipartition
behavior in this regime. Moreover, the corresponding Poincar\'e section also
shows remarkably characteristic patterns, completely different from the cases
of point-like particles.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
A second-order class-D audio amplifier
Class-D audio amplifiers are particularly efficient, and this efficiency has led to their ubiquity in a wide range of modern electronic appliances. Their output takes the form of a high-frequency square wave whose duty cycle (ratio of on-time to off-time) is modulated at low frequency according to the audio signal. A mathematical model is developed here for a second-order class-D amplifier design (i.e., containing one second-order integrator) with negative feedback. We derive exact expressions for the dominant distortion terms, corresponding to a general audio input signal, and confirm these predictions with simulations. We also show how the observed phenomenon of “pulse skipping” arises from an instability of the analytical solution upon which the distortion calculations are based, and we provide predictions of the circumstances under which pulse skipping will take place, based on a stability analysis. These predictions are confirmed by simulations
Aspects of the Screening Length and Drag Force in Two Alternative Gravity Duals of the Quark-gluon Plasma
We compute the screening length of mesons with different angular momentum
from two gravity dual theories. Both the asymptotically and
Sakai-Sugimoto metrics are considered in the calculations. Using the dual
description of the quark as a classical string ending on the probe brane, we
obtain the interacting potential between the heavy quark and antiquark after
rotating the background metric. The result shows that the screening length of
mesons with different is well fit to . The constant is
determined for by taking advantage of numerical techniques. Finally,
we calculate the drag force and relaxation times from the Sakai-Sugimoto metric
and compare with the ones obtained in the . The application of our
result to charmonium and bottomonium at RHIC and LHC is briefly discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables, version to appear in JHEP,
