Combining and solving sequence dependent traveling salesman and quadratic assignment problems in PCB assembly
(Elsevier, 2015-09-10)
In this study we undertake the optimization of chip shooter component placement machines which became popular in assembling printed circuit boards (PCB) in recent years. A PCB is usually a rectangular plastic board on which ...
Markov-based performance analysis of medium access in visible light communications
(IEEE, 2015)
Visible light communication (VLC) uses the illumination infrastructure to provide high speed wireless connectivity. VLC has recently emerged as a promising alternative/complementary technology to conventional radio-frequency ...
Solving a large-scale crew pairing problem
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2015)
Airline companies seek to solve the problem of determining an assignment of crews to a pre-determined flight schedule with minimum total cost, called the Crew Pairing Problem (CPP). Most of the existing studies focus on ...
Coordinating collection and appointment scheduling operations at the blood donation sites
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
According to the regulations imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American Association of Blood Banks, in order to extract platelets, donated blood units have to be processed at a processing center ...
Outage analysis of q-duplex RF/FSO relaying
(IEEE, 2015)
In this paper, we propose and analyze a novel q-duplex radio frequency/free space optical (RF/FSO) relaying protocol for a mixed RF and hybrid RF/FSO communication system. In our scheme, several mobile users transmit their ...
Measurements of the ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) differential cross sections in pp collisions at s=7TeV
(Elsevier, 2015-10-07)
Differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum pT are presented for the production of ϒ(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) states decaying into a pair of muons. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9View ...
Constraints on the pMSSM, AMSB model and on other models from the search for long-lived charged particles in proton–proton collisions at s√=8TeV
(Springer, 2015-07-15)
Stringent limits are set on the long-lived lepton-like sector of the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model (pMSSM) and the anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model. The limits are derived from ...
A multi-sensor integrated head-mounted display setup for augmented reality applications
(IEEE, 2015)
We present an HMD based AR system comprising visual and inertial sensors. The visual sensor is a camera pair and the inertial sensors consist of an accelerometer and a gyroscope. We discuss the temporal and spatial calibration ...
Cantilever array oscillators with nonlinear optical readout
(IEEE, 2015)
MEMS array oscillators typically require a separate detector and feedback loop for each oscillator. We show that grating-based-optical-readout induces nonlinearity, which enables simultaneous operation of an array-of-oscillators ...
Cooperative multi-task assignment for heterogonous UAVs
(IEEE, 2015)
This research is focused on the cooperative multi-task assignment problem for heterogeneous UAVs, where a set of multiple tasks, each requiring a predetermined number of UAVs, have to be completed at specific locations. ...
