TL;DR: A simple-model routing program -MIRAGE- which is used in the hierarchical layout design of large scale IC masks is described together with some experimental results.
Abstract: A simple-model routing program -MIRAGE- which is used in the hierarchical layout design of large scale IC masks is described together with some experimental results. By applying it hierarchically several times, satisfactory results can generally be obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated simulation-data envelope analysis (DEA) approach is presented for optimum facility layout of maintenance workshop in a gas transmission unit, where standard types of layouts including U, S, W, Z and straight lines are considered.
Abstract: In this study, an Integrated Simulation-Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach is presented for optimum facility layout of maintenance workshop in a gas transmission unit. The process of repair of incoming parts includes various operations on different facilities. The layout problem in this system involves determining the optimum location of all maintenance shop facilities. Layout optimization plays a crucial role in this type of problems in terms of increasing the efficiency of main production line. Standard types of layouts including U, S, W, Z and straight lines are considered. First, the maintenance workshop is modeled with discrete-event-simulation. Time in system, average waiting time, average machine utilization, average availability of facilities, average queue length of facilities (AL) and average operator utilization are obtained from simulation as key performance indicators (KPIs) of DEA. Also, safety index and number of operators are considered as other KPIs. Finally, a unified non-radial Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is presented with respect to the stated KPIs to rank all layouts alternatives and to identify the best configuration. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is used to validate and verify the results. Previous studies do not consider safety factor in layout design problems. This is the first study that presents an integrated approach for identification of optimum layout in a maintenance workshop of gas transmission unit by incorporating safety and conventional factors.

19 May 2005TL;DR: A web page print method and apparatus for adjusting the size of a web page for printout has been proposed in this paper, which prevents the content of the web page from being truncated off the paper when printed.
Abstract: A web page print method and apparatus is provided for adjusting the size of a web page for printout. The method for printing web pages comprises the steps of inputting a print command with respect to a certain web page, comparing a size of the web page to that of the paper, reducing text and images contained in the web page by a predetermined unit, respectively, if the size of the web page is larger than that of the paper, and generating data for printout with respect to the web page containing the reduced text and images and printing the data on the paper. Accordingly, the method and apparatus prevents the content of the web page from being truncated off the paper when printed.
