Three Dimensional Manufacturing Tolerance Design Using Convex Sets

Generalized Statistical Tolerance Analysis And Three Dimensional Model For Manufacturing Tolerance Transfer in Manufacturing Process Planning

Concurrent Tolerance Design with Alternative Manufacturing Processes

Traditional practice to tolerance design has been based on a sequential approach to design and manufacturing considerations. An integrated approach involving simultaneous selection of design and manufacturing tolerances was introduced in the last decade. Choice of manufacturing processes (or machines) from amongst the alternatives, frequently encountered in different stages of realization of in...

Optimal design for tolerance and manufacturing allocation

Three-dimensional segmentation of three-dimensional ultrasound carotid atherosclerosis using sparse field level sets.

PURPOSE Three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) vessel wall volume (VWV) provides a 3D measurement of carotid artery wall remodeling and atherosclerotic plaque and is sensitive to temporal changes of carotid plaque burden. Unfortunately, although 3DUS VWV provides many advantages compared to measurements of arterial wall thickening or plaque alone, it is still not widely used in research or clinica...

Minimum-Time Multi-Dimensional Gradient Waveform Design using Convex Optimization

Rapid sequences demand very efficient use of gradient strength and slew-rate. We present a general method of designing multi-dimensional, minimum-time waveforms, particularly preparatory and rewinder gradients, using standard optimization techniques. This method is easily adapted to design gradients subject to constraints on endpoints, gradient moments, amplitude and slew rate , and is fast eno...
