The paper proposed the priority polling control mechanism of the unit material combinations sorting lines, and sorters operating process is understood to be the arrival process of orders, service process of each sorter sorts orders and the conversion process between sorting machines. Control process, sorters of the combined sorting lines are divided into the priority sorters and ordinary sorter...

A free classification study is presented that uses eye-tracking to better characterize the strategies that are employed in the creation of overall similarity and single-dimension categories. The number of fixations across the dimensions and the proportion of dimensions fixated were significantly greater for overall similarity sorters than for single-dimension sorters. Single-dimension sorters g...

We study the problem of using sorters of k vabxes to form large sorting and merging networks. For n an integral power of k, we show how to merge k sorted vectors of length n/k each using 4 log, n 3 layers of k-sorters and 4 log* n 5 layers of k=ittiqut binary mergers. As a result, we show how to sort R v&es using 2 iag$ n -log, n layers of k-sorters and 2 logf n 3 fog& n * I fayers of k-input l...

Hardware sorters exploit inherent concurrency to improve the performance of sequential, softwarebased sorting algorithms. They are often based on Batcher’s odd-even or bitonic merging networks to attenuate the areagreedy hardware solutions. In this paper, a new hardware sorter architecture is presented. It is composed of smaller sorter circuits inspired on insertion sorting algorithms that cont...

There is strong interest in developing high-performance hardware sorting systems which can sort a set of elements as quickly possible. The fastest the current FPGA are networks, sets 2-sorters operate parallel each series stage multi-stage process. A 2-sorter single-stage block sorts two values, so any list with more than 2 values must be sorted network 2-sorters. primary contribution this work...

The color sorting machines inspect grains by means of digital cameras and remove contaminants by a short burst of compressed air by using the colour difference. This machine has been successfully used in the rice milling industry for long time. Recently color sorters have begun to find their way into durum semolina milling and also into wheat flour mills.The color sorter are used in the wheat c...

This paper presents polynomial-time algorithms for the construction of deterministic and internally non-blocking concentrators from multi-stage cascades of 2x2 sorters. The approach is a generalization of "Fast Knockout" and "Sortout" techniques. The goal is to construct best known m-to-n networks of 2x2 sorters for m-to-n concentration, where m and n are within the practical range. The main cr...
