Particle Migration of Quasi-Steady Flow in Concentrated Suspension for Powder Injection Molding
(2002-01)A hybrid FEM/FDM algorithm for particle migration of quasi-steady flow in concentrated suspension materials is proposed in this study. This hybrid FEM/FDM algorithm in which the planar variables, such as pressure field, ... -
Patterns of Product Development Interactions
(2002-01)Development of complex products and large systems is a highly interactive social process involving hundreds of people designing thousands of interrelated components and making millions of coupled decisions. Nevertheless, ... -
Performance of a Serial-Batch Processor System with Incompatible Job Families under Simple Control Policies
(2006-01)A typical example of a batch processor is the diffusion furnace used in wafer fabrication facilities (otherwise known as wafer fabs). In diffusion, silicon wafers are placed inside the furnace, and dopant is flown through ... -
Performance-Driven Microfabrication-Oriented Methodology for MEMS Conceptual Design with Application in Microfluidic Device Design
(2005-01)Performance and manufacturability are two important issues that must be taken into account during MEMS design. Existing MEMS design models or systems follow a process-driven design paradigm, that is, design starts from the ... -
Pharmaceutical Properties of Nanoparticulate Formulation Composed of TPGS and PLGA for Controlled Delivery of Anticancer Drug
(2004-01)A suitable management of the pharmaceutical property is needed and helpful to design a desired nanoparticulate delivery system, which includes the carrier nature, particle size and size distribution, morphology, surfactant ... -
Planning and Scheduling Decisions in Supply Chains with Multiple Supply Modes: An Integrated Approach
(2005-01)We address the problem of jointly determining shipment planning and scheduling decisions with the presence of multiple shipment modes. We consider long lead time, less expensive sea shipment mode, and short lead time but ... -
Planning Design Iterations
(2002-01)Companies developing new products have a wide variety of product development (PD) processes from which to choose. Each process offers a different method of iteration to manage risk. Companies must therefore consider the ... -
Plasma polymerization of C[subscript 4]F[subscript 8] thin film on high aspect ratio silicon molds
(2005-01)High aspect ratio polymeric micro-patterns are ubiquitous in many fields ranging from sensors, actuators, optics, fluidics and medical. Second generation PDMS molds are replicated against first generation silicon molds ... -
Preliminary Results of InGaAsN/GaAs Quantum-well laser Diodes Emitting towards 1.3 µm
(2003-01)GaAs-based nitride is found to be sensitive to growth conditions and ex-situ annealing processes. The critical thickness is almost one order thicker than the theoretical prediction by force balance model. The growth process ... -
