Topobo : a 3-D constructive assembly system with kinetic memory
We introduce Topobo, a 3-D constructive assembly system em- bedded with kinetic memory, the ability to record and playback physical motion. Unique among modeling systems is Topobo's coincident physical input and output behaviors. By snapping together a combination of Passive (static) and Active …

Lot streaming in a two-stage assembly system and a hybrid flow shop
… the use of lot streaming in a two-stage assembly system and a two-stage hybrid flow shop in order to improve system performance. Lot streaming accelerates the flow of a production lot through a production process by splitting it into sublots, and then, processing these sublots in an …

Selection of an optimal set of assembly part delivery dates in a stochastic assembly system
… But in developing the descriptive model for a system, a true representation can only be attained if the variability of these elements is considered. Here we present the development of a normative model based on a new type of descriptive model which considers the element of stochasticity. The …

Modeling, Analysis and Solution Approaches for Some Optimization Problems: High Multiplicity Asymmetric Traveling Salesman, Primary Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Scheduling, and Lot Streaming in an Assembly System
… lot streaming problem for a two-stage assembly system. This assembly system is different from the traditional flow shop configuration. It consists of m parallel subassembly machines at stage 1, each of which is devoted to the production of a component. A single assembly machine at stage …

Precision connector assembly automation
Telecommunication systems, network servers, mainframes, and high-performance computers contain several printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are mounted in card-cage assemblies. Level-3 connectors, often called board-to-board connectors, transmit signals between the primary backplane PCB and the …

A systems approach to procurement of automated technology
… Product Group B (PGB) is developing an automated system to complete final assembly of the Component, a structural member of the product that includes technology supporting two features of the product's competitive advantage. PGB contracted with an industry partner to supply the automated assembly …

Unit loads in assembly component delivery
… policies for a single stage, uniform demand assembly system in a finite horizon. Unit loads are used in place of lots; material handling and container costs are charged; and area and material handling constraints are imposed. A solution procedure based on a delivery period matrix is used to …

Adding value : an architect's retaliation against the mortgage industry and a computational investigation into do-it-yourself design-build
This thesis proposes a novel system for the design, fabrication, and assembly of the single-family home. Driven by the American mortgage crises of the early-20th Century, the proposal selects for its client-type the foreclosed ex-homeowner and thus the constraint of a mortgage-free homeownership …

Recursive Robotic Assemblers
… production of proteins that make up living systems ranging from prokaryotes at the scale of microns, to blue whales at the scale of tens of meters. At a level above ribosomes, we might consider cell division as another type of assembly process: as the size scale of the assembled parts grows, …

The metabolism of iron-sulfur clusters during hydrogen peroxide stress in escherichia coli
… genes that encode the Suf iron-sulfur-cluster assembly system. E. coli normally relies on the Isc system for cluster assembly; however, when E. coli scavenger mutants were exposed to low-grade H2O2 stress, Suf was needed to maintain dehydratase activities. Experiments showed that Suf repaired …
