We propose a novel, on-machine method of measuring the profile of the cutting edge of a tool by using the cutting fluid on the tool surface. Despite an environment of on-machine tool profile measurement, it is difficult to measure a cutting edge profile by using conventional optical methods due to interference from the cutting fluid on the tool surface. To overcome this problem, we propose a pr...

Guided summarization is an extension of query-focused multidocument summarization. We proposed a novel ranking algorithm, Topic Guided Manifold Ranking with Sink Points (TMSP) for guided summarization tasks of TAC2010. TMSP is a topic extended version of Manifold Ranking with Sink Points (MRSP), which handles the Update Summarization tasks of TAC2009 well. We adopt the TMSP and MRSP methods to ...

Existing robot guides are able to offer a tour of a building, such as a museum, bank, science center, to a single person or to a group of participants. Usually the tours are predefined and there is no support for dynamic interactions between multiple robots. This paper focuses on distributed collaboration between several robot guides providing a building tour to groups of participants. Semantic...

the paper describes an investigation about the application of the new multiple-impedance discontinuities model for optimizing profile diffuser barriers. the new multiple-impedance discontinuities model is much faster than the numerical method, thus it is used in an optimization process. the a-weighted insertion loss was used for the traffic noise spectrum. the result of optimization, which is d...

University examination timetabling problems comprise arranging exams in the given number of timeslots through the examination sessions. The primary objective of this process is avoiding of students' clashes (i.e. no one student should take two exams simultaneously). This requirement is generally considered as a hard constraint and should be obligatory satisfied in a feasible timetable. However,...

Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) is an excellent means to improve the performance of a compiled program. Indeed, the execution path data it provides helps the compiler to generate better code and better cacheline packing. At the time of this writing, compilers only support instrumentation-based PGO. This proved effective for optimizing programs. However, few projects use it, due to its complic...

Conceptual modelling is an important aspect in designing systems. However, the use of conceptual models in knowledge-based system (KBS) is limited as there is no particular consensus on which modelling language should be used and most of these systems are developed in a 'problem to code' manner. This paper focuses on the use ofa Unified Modeling Language (UML) Profile for conceptual knowledge m...
