An integrated batch-to-batch control and within batch re-optimisation control strategy for batch processes using neural network models is presented in this paper. In order to overcome the difficulties in developing detailed mechanistic models, neural network models are developed from process operation data. Due to model-plant mismatches and unknown disturbances, the optimal control policy calcu...

We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan(Cmax) on m identical parallel batch processing machines. The batch processing machine can process up to B jobs simultaneously. The jobs that are processed together form a batch, and all jobs in a batch start and complete at the same time. For a batch of jobs, the processing time of the batch is equal to the largest processing time among the job...

Batch cryptography has been developed into two main branches batch verification and batch identification. Batch verification is a method to determine whether a set of signatures contains invalid signatures, and batch identification is a method to find bad signatures if a set of signatures contains invalid signatures. Recently, some significant developments appeared in such field, especially by ...

Two batches of frankfurters containing about 55% chicken meat with two different oils (including canola and soybean) were manufactured. Batch 1 included canola oil and Batch 2 included soybean oil in the products. Various analyses were performed to detect the lipid changes of both batches during storage. Fatty acid composition analysis using gas chromatography showed little change in the fatty ...

A batch is a group of nodes that have to transmit a single packet each to a common receiver in the shortest time. Most of existing batch resolution algorithms assume immediate feedback and generally neglect the feedback time, being considered much shorter than the packet transmission time. This conjecture, however, fails to apply in many practical high-rate wireless systems, with the consequenc...
