In part one of this series, we looked at the PLC’s internal architecture, briefly discussed Ladder Logic programming, Human-Machine Interfaces, advantages of the PLC’s ability to react consistently ...

In this paper, we give an applications-oriented survey of geometric programming. This important class of nonlinear programming problems has been intensively studied over the past decade and has played ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Firmware often is preprogrammed into flash memory devices prior to the printed-circuit board’s (PCB) manufacture to maintain high ...

For software design and development (and many, many other tasks), productivity is always a high priority — and in pursuit of this is a seemingly never-ending supply of new methods, from Kaizen ...

The legend of the Tower of Babel depicts the fact that humans lost the ability to speak a common language and began to use different dialects, making communication between them far more difficult.

An increasing number of vendors offer 32-bit microcontrollers based on ARM® Cortex®-M processors, and at the same time, there are also new development environments introduced for these microcontroller ...

Two dynamic programming approaches for treating sequencing problems-one proposed by Schrage and Baker and the other by Lawler-are discussed in the context of an assembly line balancing problem. A ...
