TL;DR: The system, method, and program of this invention allows a user to specify one of a plurality of print layout combinations upon specifying a specific combination, an animation, embedded in the graphical user interface and within the dialog for making the selection, shows the page layout and rotates the sheet about the applicable axis of the sheet, from front to back to show how the selected page layout would appear as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The system, method, and program of this invention allows a user to specify one of a plurality of print layout combinations Upon specifying a specific combination, an animation, embedded in the graphical user interface and within the dialog for making the selection, shows the page layout and rotates the sheet, about the applicable axis of the sheet, from front to back to show how the selected page layout would appear Numbers on the animated sheet are used to show the layout of sequential pages Numbers are used instead of displaying specific page content The animation gives a clear practical way of visually conveying to a user how a specified page layout combination would appear when printed

TL;DR: In this article, a tool called Dynamic From Between Chart (DFBC) is developed for the analysis of layout redesign in a manufacturing facility, where the production rates and product mix are continuously changing and it is often necessary to analyse and redesign the layout.
Abstract: A manufacturing facility operates in a dynamic environment where the production rates and product mix are continuously changing. Hence, it is often necessary to analyse and redesign the layout. Existing methods for redesign use multiple, static, and tabular from-to charts. A new tool, 'Dynamic From Between Chart' (DFBC), for the analysis of redesign of layouts has been developed. This tool models the production rate changes using a continuous function. The development process of the new tool, the formulation of the cost function and its application to solving the dynamic layout problems for multiple time periods is presented.

27 Aug 2004TL;DR: A description of document elements to be laid out on a page, comprises two or more hierarchical levels, wherein each document element is placed at one of the hierarchical levels; and elements at a lower hierarchical level are associated with a document element at a next higher hierarchical level as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A description of document elements to be laid out on a page, comprises two or more hierarchical levels; wherein each document element is placed at one of the hierarchical levels; and elements at a lower hierarchical level are associated with a document element at a next higher hierarchical level. Page layout according to such a document description may be optimised discretely at different hierarchical levels (10) without affecting constraints.

TL;DR: In this paper, a selection process executing in an optimizing engine is invoked as users are presented with web pages that include ad content, and the selection process provides an initial population of sets of characteristics that specify an initial generation of layouts of ads for the pages.
Abstract: In one embodiment, a selection process executing in an optimizing engine is invoked as users are presented with web pages that include ad content. The selection process provides an initial population of sets of characteristics that specify an initial generation of layouts of ads for the pages. The characteristics can include anything that affects an ads appearance on the display. For example, ad type, position within a web page, color, size, text font, animation, etc. can be specified. Statistics are obtained as to each ad or page layout's performance or impact on the user, such as revenue obtained from ads in the layout, how many user's click an ad, how long users view an ad, etc. Once a large enough sample of user impacts is obtained a second population of sets of characteristics is created to improve the overall performance of the initial population. In a preferred embodiment, genetic computational procedures are used to create each population and to create new characteristic sets and remove underperforming sets.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the reasons why manufacturing layout planning is considered to be an appropriate new area of virtual reality (VR) utilisation; develops a framework for a VR-based layout planning tool and reports on a study comparing the use of immersive VR to a monitor-based system for detecting layout design flaws.
