Introducing pull methodologies in a semiconductor fab
… priorities through the introduction of pull methodologies. Existing processes and tools were studied, and an improved methodology and decision-support tool was developed to aid operations managers in driving towards a balanced line. An experiment was also designed and executed in …

Inventory control through a CONWIP pull production system
… such as the CONWIP (constant work-in-process) pull production system have been widely studied by researchers to date. The CONWIP pull production system is an alternative to pure push and pure pull systems that lowers and controls inventory levels and reduces production lead time. In this study, …

A Comparison of Push/pull Hybrid Manufacturing Control Strategies
These strategies are compared in a similar manner for a more complex example. A portion of an actual consumer electronics assembly line is simulated. The objective in this example is to maximize throughput. Similarities and differences exist between the two examples. Results suggest that no …

Probing cellular protein complexes using single-molecule pull-down
… interaction between biomolecules is the pull-down assay. We have extended the conventional pull-down assay to its ultimate limit: the analysis of single biomolecular complexes. We achieve this goal by performing the pull-downs directly on to the surface of microscope slides and …

Single molecule pull-down of viral RNA-protein complexes
… regulation of mRNA. Recently, a single molecule pull-down (SiMPull) assay was developed to isolate and study single protein complexes directly from cell lysates. Unlike ensemble measurements, SiMPull is a powerful tool that allows detection of diverse proteins present in a single complex and …

Calculation of Unbalanced Magnetic Pull in Cage Induction Machines
… eccentricity. This is called unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP). The first part of the work presented in this dissertation develops theoretical models which allow the calculation of the UMP in cage induction motors due to static rotor eccentricity. These account for any winding configuration including …

Novel Current-Fed Boundary-Mode Parallel-Resonant Push-Pull Converter
The inherent difficulty in designing high voltage power supplies is often compounded by demands of high reliability, high performance, and safe functionality. A proposed high step-up ratio DC-DC converter meets the exacting requirements of applications such as uninterruptible power systems, radar, …
