Layout, in the context of diagram editors, is the positioning of diagram components on the screen. Editor users enjoy automatic layout, but they usually like to control the layout at runtime, too. Our pattern-based layout approach allows for automatic and user-controlled layout at the same time: The diagram editor may automatically apply layout patterns to diagram parts based on syntactic rules...

The typical description of a VLSI layout is the geometrical description of masks. Layout verification [4] is the testing of a layout to see if it satisfies design and layout rules. An important problem in layout verification is layout device extraction, which involves detection of capacitors, resistors, transistors etc. from the geometrical description of masks. The layout extraction process st...

Layout generation in the late analog CMOS design is challenging by its increasing layout constraints and performance requirements. However, iterative refinement on manual design damages the productivity of analog layout. Therefore, it is more efficient to enroll the know-how from existing design instead of generating a new one. To contend with time-consuming analog layout for more possibilities...

Abstract Infinitely variable transmission (IVT) is a system which delivers the ratio between two turning elements to continuous (non-discrete) variation (including zero). This article uses Solidworks software build and simulate cam-based IVT system. There are identical units in under examination. Each unit comprises cam with an oscillating slot connection that swings on hinge can be vertically ...

The capacity of wireless ad-hoc network is enhanced with rate adaptive algorithms. For rate adaptation, feedback of channel condition is essential. One of the ways to achieve this is the Cross-Layer Design (CLD) approach. The key idea is to exploit the channel condition by optimal selection of data rate. The data rate can be decided at transmitter or receiver to achieve the goal of capacity enh...

Creating multiple layout alternatives for graphical user interfaces to accommodate different screen orientations for mobile devices is labor intensive. Here, we investigate how such layout alternatives can be generated automatically from an initial layout. Providing good layout alternatives can inspire developers in their design work and support them to create adaptive layouts. We performed an ...

This paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of Lean Manufacturing. The lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing Kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. To improve ...

In this research, computer simulation is used for Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) plant layout analysis. The current layout of this manufacturing plant is a process layout, which is not suitable due to the nature of an EMS that has high-volume and high-variety environment. Moreover, quick response and high flexibility are also needed. Then, cellular manufacturing layout design was determ...
