Takeuchi Mfg.'s core products are compact excavators, track loaders, and other compact construction equipment used to build homes and other buildings. Internet of Things (IoT) utilization has recently become a major topic in the manufacturing industry, and Takeuchi Mfg. has set its sights on leveraging IoT as it continues to push reforms, implement a wide variety of IT systems, and build new fa...

1.0 Introduction The million-dollar question for any production manager today is the selection between a push and a pull production system. Push and pull systems determine when and where to move material in a production process. A push system is characterized by a make to stock environment and a pull system is characterized by make to order. An appropriate system that would cater to the require...

Due to multiple-factors, bracketed popularly in ‘push-pull’ category, migration, both internal and external, is taking place in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the dominant form of migration is from rural to urban centers. For, Bangladesh is predominantly an agrian rural society for 80.0 percent of the total population lives in 87319 villages. The urban centers of Bangladesh are developing rapidly a...

We prove that two pushing-blocks puzzles are intractable in 2D. One of our constructions improves an earlier result that established intractability in 3D [OS99] for a puzzle inspired by the game PushPush. The second construction answers a question we raised in [DDO00] for a variant we call Push-1. Both puzzles consist of unit square blocks on an integer lattice; all blocks are movable. An agent...

Am ajor problem ofe-commerce is the high rate of customer initiated abortions of processes. It may be solved by the implementation of a Push System that supports the webshop. One major module of the Push System is the Pushflow Manager that proactively l eads customers through their processes by taking over tasks or triggering following activities. Its theoretical background, the Push Concepts, ...

School bullying is a serious problem among teenagers, causing depression, dropping out of school, or even suicide. It is thus important to develop antibullyingmethods.This paper proposes a physical bullying detectionmethod based on activity recognition. The architecture of the physical violence detection system is described, and a Fuzzy Multithreshold classifier is developed to detect physical ...

This study is devoted to providing predictions of the pull-in parameters (pull-in voltage and pull-in displacement) of electro-statically actuated micro-beams based on a continuous model using Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique. A phenomenon in which the actuated electrode comes in direct contact with the fixed electrode due to the electrostatic force is called pull-in instability. Accurate deter...

In 2011, a 37-year old patient with a history of familial adenomatous polyposis underwent a subtotal colectomy and resection of the proximal jejunum and distal duodenum with side-to-side duodenojejunostomy. The procedure was performed for adenocarcinoma of the duodenum (pT3 pN0 L0 V0 R0 G2). In November of 2013, an endoscopically irresectable recurrent adenoma of the anastomosis was seen. Surgi...

gyroscopes are used as rotation rate sensors. conventional gyroscopes are heavy and bulky, which creates important problems regarding their usage in different applications. micro-gyroscopes have solved these problems due to their small size. the beam micro-gyroscope is one of the popular types of inertial sensors. their small dimensions and low energy consumption are key reasons for their popul...
