Moving Bins from Conveyor Belts onto Pallets Using FIFO Queues

We study the combinatorial FIFO stack-up problem. In delivery industry, bins have to be stacked-up from conveyor belts onto pallets. Given k sequences q1, . . . ,qk of labeled bins and a positive integer p, the goal is to stack-up the bins by iteratively removing the first bin of one of the k sequences and put it onto a pallet located at one of p stack-up places. Each of these pallets has to co...

Optical conveyor belts: a new scheme for fiber communications.

A scheme is proposed for high-bandwidth, robust data transmission in silica fibers in the normal-dispersion regime. The scheme uses a uniform periodic train of dark solitons to eliminate completely the dispersion of a data stream encoded in linear pulses of small but otherwise arbitrary amplitude in the orthogonal polarization. Data pulses carried by dark solitons of differing contrast do not i...

Process Monitoring and Control of Machining Operations

Efficacy of ultraviolet light exposure against survival of Listeria monocytogenes on conveyor belts.

Listeria monocytogenes has been repeatedly isolated from foods and food-processing facilities including food contact surfaces such as conveyor belts (CB). CBs are often difficult to clean and require rigorous sanitation programs for decontamination. Ultraviolet (UV) light has exhibited microbicidal properties on food contact surfaces and this study was conducted to determine the efficacy of UV ...

Process Driven Competence Management: A Case Study at Hilti Corporation

In light of the focus on competence in Hilti's Champion 3C strategy (customer, competence and concentration) 1 Keywords: Process driven competence management, competence modeling method, business process management, meta modeling, ADOxx ® and their lived process organization the following paper proposes a modeling method for a process driven competence management (PCM) approach that combines a ...
