    • Performance of a Serial-Batch Processor System with Incompatible Job Families under Simple Control Policies 

      Tajan, John Benedict Cheng; Appa Iyer, Sivakumar; Gershwin, Stanley B. (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 ...

    • Generation of Dielectrophoretic Force under Uniform Electric Field 

      Kua, C.H.; Yang, C.; Goh, S.; Isabel, R.; Youcef-Toumi, Kamal; e.a. (2006-01)
      Effective dipole moment method has been widely accepted as the de facto technique in predicting the dielectrophoretic force due to the non-uniform electric field. In this method, a finite-particle is modeled as an equivalent ...

    • Setting Real Time WIP Levels in Production Lines 

      Yang, R.L.; Subramaniam, Velusamy; Gershwin, Stanley B. (2006-01)
      A new algorithm is developed for setting WIP level in production lines. It is a pull policy that determines when to authorize a job to be processed. Dynamic information in the system such as machine failures and repairs, ...
