Study on New Product Development, by Networking

2015

The paper presents a situation of working in network in order to design or improve a new product. To implement theoretical models and to validate a working algorithm into a virtual research, there was proposed a specific theme from drilling and chamfering tool. The facilities offered by the research centers – database, software - led to rapid selection and configuration solutions, demonstrating achieving research productivity growth and a substantial reduction of times redesign.

Influence of Geometrical Parameters, Wall Angle and Part Shape on Thickness Reduction of Single Point Incremental Forming

2014

Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the thickness reduction during the whole single point incremental forming process. The experimental setup is realized in such a way that the blank sheet is in the vertical position and forming is done using an anthropomorphic robot with six degrees of freedom. The vertical positioning of the blank sheet allows the on-line visualization using an optical measuring system of the major and minor strains and of the thickness reduction. The wall angle varied between values of 45 0 , 55 0 and 65 0 respectively. The logarithmic major strain and minor strains and logarithmic thickness reduction were analyzed in order to allow a comparison with values obtain…

On the intrinsic complexity of learning

1995

A new view of learning is presented. The basis of this view is a natural notion of reduction. We prove completeness and relative difficulty results. An infinite hierarchy of intrinsically more and more difficult to learn concepts is presented. Our results indicate that the complexity notion captured by our new notion of reduction differs dramatically from the traditional studies of the complexity of the algorithms performing learning tasks.

Guaranteed access mode for downlink traffic over IEEE 802.11 WLANs

2011

IEEE 802.11 networks present an unfairness problem between the downlink and uplink traffic, using the default settings of the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA). In order to reduce this unfairness, the Access Point (AP) can adapt the standard parameters, but this is not enough. In this paper, we propose simple and efficient solutions, which are implemented at the AP, thus they are standard compatible and no modifications to the current hardware and protocol stacks are needed. These solutions aim at providing guaranteed access to the downlink traffic when the AP perceives the unfairness problem. Our simulation results show a reduction in the unfairness and an enhancement in network p…

Successive Reduction of Arms in Multi-Armed Bandits

2011

The relevance of the multi-armed bandit problem has risen in the past few years with the need for online optimization techniques in Internet systems, such as online advertisement and news article recommendation. At the same time, these applications reveal that state-of-the-art solution schemes do not scale well with the number of bandit arms. In this paper, we present two types of Successive Reduction (SR) strategies - 1) Successive Reduction Hoeffding (SRH) and 2) Successive Reduction Order Statistics (SRO). Both use an Order Statistics based Thompson Sampling method for arm selection, and then successively eliminate bandit arms from consideration based on a confidence threshold. While SRH…

Staggering Periodic Replenishments

1999

The paper deals with the problem of staggering periodic replenishment orders associated to different frequencies. The particular multi-item, instantaneous replenishment case with known demand is considered. The practical interest for such a problem is twofold: staggering orders allows both a reduction of the costs incurred in holding goods and an efficient use of space in warehouses. Some specific models allowing staggering are considered and, for them, theoretical results and properties are provided.

Energy-weighted M1 sum rule with explicit δ degrees of freedom

1985

Abstract The influence of Δ degrees of freedom on the energy-weighted M1 sum rule is investigated and applied to 2 H and 4 He. Using π- and ρ-exchange potentials a reduction of the potential contribution of the order of 50% is obtained. The absolute value of the sum rule is strongly dependent on the short-range behaviour of the nuclear wave function. Furthermore, the contribution of c.m. effects is evaluated and found to be of the order of 5–10%.

Efficiency Improvement of Inverter-Fed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

2003

In this paper a control algorithm for the efficiency improvement of inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) is presented. The proposed algorithm allows reducing the losses of the drive without reduction of its dynamic performances. In details, after recalling a dynamic model of the PMSM, which has been purposely modified and that takes into account the iron losses, the basic equations and the constraints to obtain the loss minimization are presented and discussed. Some simulations of a specific PMSM drive employing the proposed algorithm are performed. The results of these simulations show that the dynamic performances are maintained, and enhancement of the efficiency up to…
