This paper concerns the tension control of roll-to-roll systems. In such systems, each driven roller speed is controlled separatly. The impact of the master roller position on tension control performances is studied using optimized web tension control synthesis. The tension disturbance rejection property and the system robustness regarding web elasticity variations are analysed for each configu...

We propose a new type of re-writable bitmap image display component using the MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) -controlled light scattering. The device is made of a light-guided transparent substrate (glass) and a thin sheet of semi-transparent plastic film (PDMS; Poly Di Methyl Siloxane) with magnetic nickel and light– diffusing glass powders formed in an electrostatic parallel-plate ac...

In an effort to translate PRINT nanoparticle fabrication from batch processes to continuous manufacturing, Liquidia Technologies has harnessed the scale of roll-to-roll processing with the precision of microlithography to enable GMP production of gram to kilogram quantities of nanoparticle based therapeutic formulations. The in-house capabilities now enable fast turnover from single wafer maste...

This paper presents Eve, a new Execute-Verify architecture that allows state machine replication to scale to multi-core servers. Eve departs from the traditional agree-execute architecture of state machine replication: replicas first execute groups of requests concurrently and then verify that they can reach agreement on a state and output produced by a correct replica; if they can not, they ro...

Today, digital audio applications are part of our everyday lives. Automatic audio classification is very useful in audio indexing; content based audio retrieval and online audio distribution. The accuracy of the classification relies on the strength of the features and classification scheme. In this work both, time domain and frequency domain features are extracted from the input signal. Time d...

Latex dipping machine is based on a latex patent products new-production condom and the development of the machine. The latex dipping agencies combined with production condom mechanism. First it realized a 3-dimensional accurate localization system using stepping motors. SIMATIC S7-200 series programmable controller, motion module EM253 and stepping motor are tied in wedlock to realize allocati...

This paper introduces a class of passive interconnected suspensions, defined mathematically in terms of their mechanical admittance matrices, with the purpose of providing greater freedom to specify independently bounce, pitch, roll, and warp dynamics than conventional (passive) suspension arrangements. Two alternative realization schemes are described that are capable of implementing this clas...

This article’s model based diagnostics system has four modules. Diagnosis and fault location forms physics models of the machine, measures states off the real in-service machine, generates simulated machine states and simulated sensor outputs for the machine model with loads same as the real machine, and compares simulated sensor outputs to real sensor outputs. The parameter tuning module adjus...

Abstract Roll forming is a continuous manufacturing process designed for large batch sizes. In order to economically produce roll formed parts with smaller sizes, the setup times have be reduced. During setup, profile defects and especially deformation caused by release of process-inherent residual stresses, also known as end flare, counteracted. However, knowledge regarding creation stresses l...
