Semiconductor manufacturing is an important component of the U.S. manufacturing industry. Most of today’s fabrication facilities and those being designed for the near future use a bay layout configuration and an overhead monorail system for moving material between bays. These material handling systems are usually designed with a spine or perimeter type of configuration. This paper investigates ...

In this paper we introduce a novel application of model checking to find optimal planning solutions for a flow production system. Originally controlled by a multiagent system, the production system consists of autonomous products and asynchronous production stations with limited space for waiting products. In this work, we present two different approaches of application of the Spin model checke...

We report our experience with the Venture wire-control catheter in 20 patients with bifurcation lesions in which it was impossible to access the side branch using conventional techniques. This device was always used as a last resort and was employed during different stages in the treatment of the bifurcation lesions (i.e. initially, after stenting of the main vessel or both). In 17 patients (85...

A 39-year-old patient presented with poorly controlled hypertension, and she was referred to renal angiogram and potential renal angioplasty. Renal angiogram showed a bifurcation lesion of the right renal artery. A guide wire was used to cross the upper branch, while the lower branch was protected by another same-type guide wire through the same introducer. Two thin monorail balloons were used ...

The Australian Defence Force Parachute Training School instructs trainees to make initial ground contact using a flat foot whereas United States paratroopers are taught to contact the ground with the ball of the foot first. This study aimed to determine whether differences in foot pitch affected parachute landing technique. Kinematic, ground reaction force and electromyographic data were analyz...

Abstract Aerodynamic heating and temperature distribution are one of the problems that must be considered in design hypersonic rocket sled. In order to evaluate aerodynamic environment sled, typical monorail sled with cone cylinder combination is taken as research object, calculation methods such Modified Newton Theory, Reynolds Analogy Reference Enthalpy Method Fourier’s Law Heat Conduction us...

Straddle-type monorail ,as a unique technology, energy saving and environmental protection, is different from the subway of urban rail transit system. In order to study curving performance new type straddle-type vehicle with single-axle bogies ,the three-dimensional spatial dynamics model which consists track designis proposed by multi-body soft ADAMS. The dynamic three types tire -track contac...

Aimed at the problems of difficult treatment, unreasonable utilization and serious waste fruit tree residue, combined with terrain planting characteristics hilly orchards, a self-propelled monorail branch chipper was developed. It can realize long distances large ranges crushing operations debris tiling in garden. Because adopts half-empty suspension support method, moving discontinuous cutting...
