Motion Planning for Convertible Indoor Scene Layout Design

Abstract: We present a system for designing indoor scenes with convertible furniture layouts. Such layouts are useful for scenarios where an indoor scene has multiple purposes and requires layout conversion, such as merging multiple small furniture objects into a larger one or changing the locus of the furniture. We aim at planning the motion for the convertible layouts of a scene with the most efficient conversion process. To achieve this, our system first establishes object-level correspondences between the layout of a given source and that of a reference to compute a target layout, where the objects are re-arranged in the source layout with respect to the reference layout. After that, our system initializes the movement paths of objects between the source and target layouts based on various mechanical constraints. A joint space-time optimization is then performed to program a control stream of object translations, rotations, and stops, under which the movements of all objects are efficient and the potential object collisions are avoided. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our system through various design examples of multi-purpose, indoor scenes with convertible layouts.

Method and apparatus for hierarchical design of semiconductor integrated circuit

Abstract: A hierarchical design apparatus 1 for a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a hierarchical block placing unit 1 - 02 which places sets of hierarchical blocks onto a chip; a hierarchical block terminal placing unit 1 - 03 which places terminals of the hierarchical blocks so that for sets of hierarchical blocks having the same function, the hierarchical blocks coincide with each other in a coordinate of the corresponding terminal; an intra-hierarchical block layout unit 1 - 06 which executes the individual types of intra-hierarchical-block layout designs, meanwhile executes only a single type of intra-hierarchical-block layout design for the sets of hierarchical blocks having the same function; and a chip layout finishing unit 1 - 07 which replicates thus-obtained layout patterns, and thereby completing a layout design over the entire chip.

User interface presentation of page layout output mimics for multiple-image up jobs

Abstract: An image forming device capable of copying and/or scanning a physical original document is provided. The image forming device includes a User Interface providing an accurate output mimic illustrating a representation of the output sheet having a long edge and a short edge with representations of the one or more original documents arranged in rows and columns thereon each including a long edge, a short edge and an image top for indicating the orientation of the output.

Analysis of Plant Layout Design for Operational Efficiency with Craft Algorithms

Abstract: This paper presents an exhaustive analysis of a pulley factory layout design for operational efficiency and effective production. Focusing exclusively on the pulley factory layout problem in a Thai factory, this study applies Craft algorithm to analyse the layout and arrive at an effective design. The analyses reveal that CRAFT algorithms ease free flow of materials and personnel at the least cost, minimize distance travelled and improve the original layout by twenty percent (32%). For this reason, the new layout design witnesses flexible operations, effective functionality, and meet cost savings objectives. Therefore, it is recommended that operation managers should adopt the Craft algorithm program to overcome material flow obstruction and ineffective operations resulting from ineffective layout designs.
