This paper describes an approach that can reduce manufacturing cycle time during product design. Design for production (DFP) determines how manufacturing a new product design affects the performance of the manufacturing system. This includes design guidelines, capacity analysis, and estimating manufacturing cycle times. Performing these tasks early in the product development process can reduce ...

Cuckoo Cycle is a recently proposed “memory-hard” computational Proof-of-Work (PoW) function designed to require a minimum amount of memory to compute efficiently. This paper describes two algorithms that use the sparsity of the Cuckoo Cycle graph to use less memory than both the initially hypothesized and updated proposed bounds for this proof-of-work function. The second algorithm presents a ...

We describe two simulation models for repair processes of aircraft in the Navy, and suggest ways to reduce cycle time and improve readiness. The models illustrate the e ects of material availability and process redesign on repair cycle time and work-in-process inventory levels for critical components. Our results indicate that the Navy could signi cantly reduce repair cycle times of those compo...

The increasing integration of the world economy in recent decades, through the liberalisation of trade and capital fl ows, has raised the possibility of a more rapid transmission of business cycle fl uctuations across countries, especially those originating in large economies such as the United States. Indeed, over the past 40 years, the Australian and US business cycles have become highly corr...

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television, and any user with an IP device such as a smart phone can get IPTV service anywhere and anytime as long as the user can access the Internet. Because of this advantage, IPTV is widely believed to be the next killer internet application, and many organizations provide IPTV services. As IPTV becomes popular, formal proofs of IPTV service quality have be...

Time-to-Degree and the Business Cycle When students themselves enjoy large degrees of freedom in determining the duration of their studies, it results in a fairly large degree of interindividual variance in terms of time-todegree. This paper investigates individual time-to-degree in a model where students determine the optimum time-to-degree whilst weighing up the cost against the consumption b...

in this study the effect of input parameters of the edm process (pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity), on the material removal rate (mrr), tool wear ratio (twr) and maximum surface roughness (rmax) in the machining aisi h13 tool steel has been studied. this study shows that increasing the duty cycle in the two conditions of tool polarity, material removal rate and the maximum surface ro...
