Custom microsystems are expensive, innexible, and unsuitable for high-volume production. We address this problem by leveraging hardware/software co-design principles to design reconngurable composite microsystems. We partition the system design parameters into nonre-conngurable and reconngurable categories. In this way, the operational exibility is enhanced and the microsys-tems are designed fo...

This study contains experimental investigation and analysis of different joint design and parameters affecting welding distortion observed in gtaw process. Distortion is a major problem and it has different types. The extent of distortion depends on some important parameters related to welding. The important parameters chosen for given study are welding current, thickness, gas flow rate and joi...

With the growing commercialization of watermarking techniques in various application scenarios it has become increasingly important to quantify the performance of watermarking products. The quantification of relative merits of various products is not only essential in enabling further adoption of the technology by society as a whole, but will also drive the industry to develop testing plans/met...

The paper provides to reliability practitioners with a method (1) to estimate the robust Weibull family when the Taguchi method (TM) is applied, (2) to estimate the normal operational Weibull family in an accelerated life testing (ALT) analysis to give confidence to the extrapolation and (3) to perform the ANOVA analysis to both the robust and the normal operational Weibull family. On the other...

abstract: the aim of this research is to propose a new approach of kansei engineering, kano model and taguchi design of experiments to identify, categorize and prioritize customersʹ emotional needs (kansei) in the automotive industry in order to more customer satisfaction. to achieve the above aim, first customersʹ kansei words identified and screened; then these words classified based on kano ...

In today’s competitive world, the industries should have production systems which are capable of versatility, high production rate, precision and ability to produce highly finished goods. Due to this the value of input machining parameters responsible for the desired surface finish & material removal rate becomes critical. Present paper presents a study on parametric optimization of the End Mil...

During the last few years, several sheet hydroforming processes have been introduced. Despite the advantages of these methods, they have some limitations. Of the processes, the two main ones are the standard hydroforming and hydromechanical deep drawing. A new sheet hydroforming die set was proposed that has the advantages of both processes and eliminates their limitations. In this method, a po...

The ever-increasing complexity of software systems makes them hard to comprehend, predict and tune due to emergent properties and non-deterministic behaviour. Complexity arises from the size of software systems and the wide variety of possible operating environments: the increasing choice of platforms and communication policies leads to ever more complex performance characteristics. In addition...

Abstrac: In this paper, we investigate the influence of process parameters like HALO and Source/Drain (S/D) Implantation on threshold voltage in 45nm PMOS device. The settings of process parameters were determined by using Taguchi experimental design method. The level of importance of the process parameters on threshold voltage was determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The virtual f...

In the present study, chitosan membranes capable of imitating permeation characteristics of diclofenac diethylamine across animal skin were prepared using cast drying method. The effect of concentration of chitosan, concentration of cross-linking agent (NaTPP), crosslinking time was studied using Taguchi design. Taguchi design ranked concentration of chitosan as the most important factor influe...
