    • Control of Job Arrivals with Processing Time Windows into Batch Processor Buffer 

      Tajan, John Benedict Cheng; Sivakumar, Appa Iyer; Gershwin, Stanley B. (2007-01)
      Consider a two-stage manufacturing system composed of a batch processor and its upstream feeder processor. Jobs exit the feeder processor and join a queue in front of the batch processor, where they wait to be processed. ...

    • Experimental Study on the Demolding Force in Micro Metal Injection Molding 

      Tor, Shu Beng; Loh, N.H.; Fu, G.; Tay, B.Y. (2007-01)
      In this paper experimental study on the demolding force needed to eject micro structures in Micro Metal Injection Molding (μMIM) is conducted. Injection molding is done on a variotherm mold mounted on a Battenfeld injection ...

    • Investigation of the Dimensional Variation of Microstructures Through the μMIM Process 

      Fu, G.; Reading, I.; Li, S.G.; Chaturvedi, P.; Tor, Shu Beng; e.a. (2007-01)
      The mass production of components with dimensions in the micron and sub-micron range is anticipated to be one of the leading technology areas for the present century and to be of high market potential. Micro metal injection ...

    • Micro Injection-Molding of Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Using Metallic Glass Insert 

      Loke, Y.W.; Tor, Shu Beng; Chun, Jung-Hoon; Loh, N.H.; Hardt, David E. (2007-01)
      There is shift in trend towards the use of high quality polymers as the base material in manufacturing microfluidic chips. In this paper, an amorphous metallic alloy mold insert was used in a micro injection-molding process ...

    • Particle Transportation Using Programmable Electrode Arrays 

      Kua, C.H.; Lam, Yee Cheong; Rodriguez, I.; Youcef-Toumi, Kamal; Yang, C. (2007-01)
      This study presents a technique to manipulate particles in microchannels using arrays of individually excitable electrodes. These electrodes were energized sequentially to form a non-uniform electric field that moved along ...

    • Performance Analysis of Order Fulfillment for Low Demand Items in E-tailing 

      Chhaochharia, Pallav; Graves, Stephen C. (2007-01)
      We study inventory allocation and order fulfillment policies among warehouses for low-demand SKUs at an online retailer. A large e-tailer strategically stocks inventory for SKUs with low demand. The motivations are to ...
