An important problem within metrology is how to interactively use a measuring device, or probe, to determine some geometric property of an unknown object; this problem is known as geometric probing. In this paper, we study a type of proximity probe which, given a point, returns the distance to the boundary of the object in question. We consider the case where the object is a convex polygon P in the plane, and the goal of the algorithm is to minimize the upper bound on the number of measurements necessary to exactly determine P. We show an algorithm which has an upper bound of 3.5n + k + 2 measurements necessary, where n is the number of vertices and k ≤ 3 is the number of acute angles of P. Furthermore, we show that our algorithm requires O(1) computations per probe, and hence O(n) time to determine P.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117316969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, an objective characterizing optimal part movements, according to the lean and agile paradigms, is formulated in the conceptual design phase. Control measures, which are obtained by solving the mixed integer linear model including the objective and constraints, provide important keys for designers to conceptualize a proper design of an automated material handling system.

On the hospital floor, an inpatient may experience clinical deterioration during his/her stay. Quick and appropriate treatment from the nurse, physician, and rapid response team (RRT) is essential to rescue the patient. In this paper, we introduce an analytical method to model and analyze the hospital inpatient rescue (HIR) process. A continuous time Markov chain model is presented to characterize the patient status and analyze the transitions between different patient states, such as risk, non-risk, intervention by the care provider, or elevation to intensive care, etc. Closed formulas to calculate the probability of the patient staying in different states are developed for single patient case. An approximation method, referred to as the shared resource iteration (SRI) approach, is proposed to study the multiple patients scenario. It is shown that such an iteration is convergent and results in a high accuracy estimation of patient state probability. This method provides a quantitative tool to analyze the HIR process and investigate strategies to improve patient safety.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115439271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can make the consumers reserve accurate energy from the public utility with a low price, and further reduce the electricity cost. Relay power allocation is important to the efficiency of the cooperative relaying in cost reduction. The paper is motivated by these two interesting questions: How the relay building gateway allocates transmission power between relaying and its own transmission and what is the optimal relay power allocation strategy among the other buildings gateways? In order to answer the questions, we formulate the power allocation problem as a Stackelberg game and prove that it has a unique equilibrium point, which is the optimal power allocation solution for the building gateways. Numerical results show that relaying can dramatically reduce the cost of consumers in a building.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115871946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CT performance depends on process time reduction, tool set (group of similar tool running same operations) performance, and WIP (Work In Process) management policy, but mainly on factory (fab) loading. Understanding factory CT variability is critical to meet customer commitments while maintaining optimized inventory levels. Tool set CT (sum of the operations step CT run on the tool set) is usually modeled by the P/K equation, a fundamental equation that provides insights into what affects CT. We extended this equation to model factory CT. The curve CT vs. loading is called the tool set operational curve. In this paper, we will define the logarithm factory operational curve based on 35 weeks of 200mm factory CT performance running at 65nm, during variable loading and capacity change. The operational curve was also validated using factory simulation.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131479564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In brachytherapy, small radioactive sources are positioned proximal to cancerous tumors. An ongoing challenge is to accurately place sources on a set of dwell positions to sufficiently irradiate the tumors while limiting radiation damage to healthy organs and tissues. In current practice, standardized applicators with internal channels are inserted into body cavities to guide the sources. These standardized implants are one-size-fits-all and are prone to shifting inside the body, resulting in suboptimal dosages. We propose a new approach that builds on recent results in 3D printing and steerable needle motion planning to create customized implants containing customized curvature-constrained internal channels that fit securely, minimize air gaps, and precisely guide radioactive sources through printed channels. When compared with standardized implants, customized implants also have the potential to provide better coverage: more potential source dwell positions proximal to tumors. We present an algorithm for computing curvature-constrained channels based on rapidly-expanding randomized trees (RRT). We consider a prototypical case of OB/GYN cervical and vaginal cancer with three treatment options: standardized ring implant (current practice), customized implant with linear channels, and customized implant with curved channels. Results with a two-parameter coverage metric suggest that customized implants with curved channels can offer significant improvement over current practice.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"40 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130942148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A reformulated objective function is derived for the algorithm to minimize the condition number of the Hessian of the batch-least squares identification method. The batch least-squares method is then used to estimate parameters of the nonlinear system. A simulation example is used to demonstrate that an arbitrarily designed trajectory can lead to an ill-conditioned Hessian matrix in the batch-least squares method, which in turn leads to a less precise set of identified parameters. An example using Monte-Carlo simulations of both trajectories shows a reduction in the variance of identified parameters for an example cart-pendulum system.","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128463133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current optimal controllers for large flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) require costly time consuming reachability analysis. Our previous work shows that among all n-dependent siphons, only one siphon (whose unmarked state follows specific token distribution) needs to be controlled. This greatly simplifies the synthesis as well as minimizes the number of monitors required while making the controlled net nearly maximally permissive. However, some live states may get lost. To reach more live states, the controller regions must be refined to be less affected or disturbed by the monitors and their controlled arcs. We observe that the markings of all the resulting controller regions follow a simple pattern. Based on this pattern of unmarked siphons, this paper further proposes a maximally permissive control policy for a subclass of S3PR (Systems of Simple Sequential Processes with Resources).","PeriodicalId":191166,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131280562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
