heat transfer mechanisms and the solidification process are simulated for a continuous casting machine and the geometric shape of the liquid pool is predicted considering different conditions. a heat transfer and solidification model is described for the continuous casting of steel slabs. the model has been established on the basis of the technical conditions of the slab caster in the continuou...

Paint cure oven is one of the most important parts of automobile production line. The cure speed and the magnitude of energy consumption are significant in auto manufacturing industry. The radiation oven has been of the interest by cure industry due to the reduction in energy consumption and appropriate cure. The design process of these ovens is really complex specially for bodies with comp...

The demand of highest possible effectiveness is put on all production processes, while the highest quality is demanded from products. These requirements are particularly justifi ed in the steel industry, due to high cost of technical equipment assembly and production cost. In such conditions continuous processes are of signifi cant meaning, since they facilitate maximum utilization of productio...

different world views and philosophies in defining development problems and their solutions derive currently from different disciplines. they refer in many respects to the principle of cause-effect as a fundamental relationship between phenomena. the history of differing values and attitudes presented in management and design indicates the importance of this relationship. this sort of knowledge...

Scheduling is a decision making process to determine when, where, how to produce a set of products given requirements in a specific time horizon, a set of limited resources, and processing recipes. The research area of batch and continuous process scheduling has received great attention from both the academia and the industry in the past two decades. This is motivated by the increasing pressure...

Continuous speech production is a highly complex process involving many parts of the human brain. To date, no fundamental representation that allows for decoding of continuous speech from neural signals has been presented. Here we show that techniques from automatic speech recognition can be applied to decode a textual representation of spoken words from neural signals. We model phones as the f...
