In most manufacturing industries, tool replacement policy is essential for minimizing the fraction defective and the manufacturing cost. Tool wear is caused by the action of sliding chips in the shear zone, and the friction generated between the tool flank and workpiece. This wear, apparently, is a dominant and irremovable component of variability in many machining processes, which is a systematic assignable cause. As the tool wear occurs in the machining processes, the fraction of defectives would gradually become significant. When the fraction defective reaches a certain level, the tool must be replaced. Therefore, detecting suitable time for tool replacement operation becomes essential. In this paper, we present an analytical approach for unilateral processes based on the one-sided process capability index CPU (or CPL) to find the appropriate time for tool replacement. Accurate process capability must be calculated, particularly, when the data contains assignable cause variation. By calculating the index CPU (or CPL) in a dynamical environment, we propose estimators of CPU (or CPL) and obtain exact form of the sampling distribution in the presence of systematic assignable cause. The proposed procedure is then applied to a real manufacturing process involving tool wear problem, to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach. 相似文献
Summary: A probability model, based on the “in‐out” recursive analysis, is developed for obtaining the average molecular weights of star polymers formed by connecting polydispersed primary chains onto a multifunctional coupling agent. The average properties and the polydispersity index of the formed star polymers can be described as a function of the reaction conversion and the average properties of the polydispersed primary chains without the knowledge of the whole distribution. The results indicate that, although PI of the resulting star polymers might increase at the intermediate conversion for the higher functionalities of the core molecules, the resulting star polymers generally have narrower molecular weight distributions at the complete conversion compared to the initial polydispersed polymer chains.

A novel phenolic compound, artocarpol A ( 1 ), was isolated from the root bark of Artocarpus rigida and its structure determined by spectroscopic methods and by comparison with its diacetate derivative. Compound 1 strongly inhibited superoxide formation in phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (PMA) stimulated rat neutrophils in a concentration‐dependent manner with an IC50 value of 13.7±0.7 μM . Compound 1 also showed a significant inhibitory effect on tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) formation in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)‐stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. 相似文献
With the scope of our search for biologically active compounds, two new phenolic compounds, artocarpols G ( 1 ) and H ( 2 ), and two known compounds, rubraflavone C ( 3 ) and trans‐stilbene‐2,4,3′,5′‐tetrol, were isolated from the root bark of Artocarpus rigida. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and comparison with data reported in the literature. Compound 4 , previously isolated from this plant, strongly inhibited in a concentration‐dependent manner the release of β‐glucuronidase and histamine from mast cell degranulation caused by compound 48/80, with IC50 values of 10.9±1.4 and 13.2±0.6 μM , respectively. Compound 4 also showed a concentration‐dependent inhibitory effect on the formyl‐peptide‐stimulated superoxide anion formation in neutrophils with an IC50 value of 26.0±5.6 μM . 相似文献
An analytical solution of the vibration responses of biological specimens using atomic force microscopy (AFM), which often requires operation in a liquid, is developed. In this study, the modal superposition method is employed to analyze the vibration responses of AFM cantilevers in tapping mode (TM) operated in a liquid and in air. The hydrodynamic force exerted by the fluid on AFM cantilevers is approximated by additional mass and hydrodynamic damping. The tip–sample interaction forces were transformed into axial, distributed transversal, and bending loading, and then applied to the end region of the AFM through the tip holder. The effects of transverse stress and bending stress were adopted to solve the dynamic model. With this model, a number of simulations were carried out to investigate the relationship between the transient responses of the cantilever in a liquid and the parameters considered in nanoscale processing. The simulations show that the vibration of AFM cantilevers in a liquid has dramatically different dynamic characteristics from these of that in air. The liquid reduces the magnitude of the transversal response and reduces the cantilever resonances. Moreover, the magnitudes of response become larger with increasing intermolecular distances and smaller with decreasing tip length. The cantilever vibration amplitudes significantly depend on the damping constant and the mass proportionality constant. 相似文献
A standard HPLC was adapted to polymer supported oligosaccharide synthesis. Solution-based reagents are delivered using a software-controlled solvent delivery system. The reaction progress and completion can be monitored in real time using a standard UV detector. All steps of oligosaccharide assembly including loading, glycosylation, deprotection, and cleavage can be performed using this setup. 相似文献
Zn0.8Co0.2O and Zn0.8Mn0.2O films were deposited on substrates by a sol–gel technique. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and ferromagnetism measurements were used to characterize these dilute magnetic semiconductors. It is shown that the ferromagnetic properties might be related to the formation of acceptor-like defects in the Zn0.8Co0.2O and Zn0.8Mn0.2O films. It is found that ferromagnetic Zn0.8Mn0.2O has a higher Curie temperature than Zn0.8Co0.2O. In addition, the higher ratio of grain-boundary area to grain volume of Zn0.8Mn0.2O than Zn0.8Co0.2O indicates that grain boundaries and related acceptors are the intrinsic origin for ferromagnetism. 相似文献

Organic peroxides (OPs) and inorganic peroxides (IPs) are usually employed as an initiator for polymerization, a source of free radicals, a hardener, and a linking agent in low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), controlled-rheology polypropylene (CR-PP), and styrene industries. Worldwide, due to their unstably reactive natures, OPs and IPs have caused many serious thermal explosions and runaway reaction incidents. This study was conducted to elucidate its essentially hazardous characteristics. To analyze the runaway behavior of OPs and IPs in the traditional process, thermokinetic parameters including heat of decomposition (??Hd), exothermic onset temperature (T0), self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT), time to maximum rate (TMR), critical temperature (Tc), etc., were measured by calorimetric approaches involving differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), vent sizing package 2 (VSP2), and calculation method. Safety and health handling information of hazardous materials and toxic substances is noted in material safety data sheets (MSDS) and was applied to analyze in process safety management (PSM) in the chemical industries, but MSDS are not providing important handling indicators concerning the SADT, TMR, Tc, etc. In view of loss prevention, more useful indicators must be provided in the sheets or guide book. 相似文献
This paper presents a direct Poisson solver based on an error minimized Chebyshev pseudospectral penalty formulation for problems defined on rectangular domains. In this study the penalty parameters are determined analytically such that the discrete L2 error is minimized. Numerical experiments are conducted and the results show that the penalty scheme computes numerical solutions with better accuracy, compared to the traditional approach with boundary conditions enforced strongly. 相似文献
