Desempenho da colhedora de milho Penha CLM-350: parte I - sistema espigador

Com o propósito de avaliar a colhedora Penha CLM-350, visando fornecer subsídios aos projetos e usuários, realizou-se o presente trabalho, onde foi estudada a eficácia do sistema espigador, determinando-se a porcentagem de milho colhido para os diversos tratamentos estudados. Definiu-se um parâmetro adimensional U, que é a relação entre a velocidade periférica dos roletes e a velocidade de deslocamento da colhedora. Procurou-se relacionar as diversos tratamentos U, com os valores percentuais de grãos de milho colhidos e perdidos no solo. Os resultados foram estudados através da análise de variância, empregando-se o teste F, aos níveis de 1% e 5% de probabilidade e o teste Tukey para a comparação estatística entre as médias.

Gestão de estoques: uma proposta de reposição contínua para material médico hospitalar e medicamentos em um hospital universitário federal do estado do Rio Grande do Norte

The inventory management in hospitals is of paramount importance, since the supply materials and drugs interruption can cause irreparable damage to human lives while excess inventories involves immobilization of capital. Hospitals should use techniques of inventory management to perform replenishment in shorter and shorter intervals, in order to reduce inventories and fixed assets and meet citizens requirements properly. The inventory management can be an even bigger problem for public hospitals, which have restrictions on the use of resources and decisionmaking structure more bureaucratized. Currently the University Hospital Onofre Lopes (HUOL) uses a periodic replacement policy for hospital medical supplies and medicines, which involves one moment surplus stock replenishment, the next out of stock items. This study aims to propose a system for continuous replenishment through order point for inventory of medical supplies and medicines to the hospital HUOL. Therefore, a literature review of Federal University Hospitals Management, Logistics, Inventory Management and Replenishment System in Hospitals was performed, emphasizing the demand forecast, classification or ABC curve and order point system. And also, policies of inventory management and the current proposal were described, dealing with profile of the mentioned institution, the current policy of inventory management and simulation for continuous replenishment order point. For the simulation, the sample consisted of 102 and 44 items of medical and hospital drugs, respectively, selected using the ABC classification of inventory, prioritizing items of Class A, which contains the most relevant items in added value, representing 80 % of the financial value in 2012 fiscal year. Considering that it is a public organization, subject to the laws, we performed two simulations: the first, following the signs for inventory management of Instruction No. 205 (IN 205 ), from Secretary of Public Administration of the Presidency ( SEDAP / PR ), and the second, based on the literature specializing in inventory management hospital. The results of two simulations were compared to the current policy of replenishment system. Among these results are: an indication that the system for continuous replenishment reorder point based on IN 205 provides lower levels of safety stock and maximum stock, enables a 17% reduction in the amount spent for the full replenishment of inventories, in other words, decreasing capital assets, as well as reduction in stock quantity, also the simulation made from the literature has indicated parameters that prevent the application of this technique to all items of the sample. Hence, a change in inventory management of HUOL, with the application of the continuous replenishment according to IN 205, provides a significant reduction in acquisition costs of medical and hospital medicine

Two-body Dirac equation approach to the deuteron

The two-body Dirac(Breit) equation with potentials associated to one-boson-exchanges with cutoff masses is solved for the deuteron and its observables calculated. The 16-component wave-function for the Jπ = 1+ state contains four independent radial functions which satisfy a system of four coupled differential equations of first order. This system is numerically integrated, from infinity towards the origin, by fixing the value of the deuteron binding energy and imposing appropriate boundary conditions at infinity. For the exchange potential of the pion, a mixture of direct plus derivative couplings to the nucleon is considered. We varied the pion-nucleon coupling constant, and the best results of our calculations agree with the lower values recently determined for this constant.

Controladores robustos do tipo LQG/LTR de ordem reduzida para sistemas MIMO com saídas independentes de seus modos não dominantes

O objetivo principal desta dissertação é apresentar uma solução eficiente, prática e de simples implementação para um problema recorrente em projetos de controladores robustos multivariáveis do tipo LQG/LTR: a elevada ordem que estes controladores podem obter dependendo das complicações apresentadas pelo sistema dificultando para que este possa ser controlado de maneira satisfatória. Para que esta meta seja alcançada, é apresentada uma técnica de redução do modelo de sistemas com metodologia bastante descomplicada, dispensando qualquer necessidade de complexas programações para a sua utilização. Esta metodologia porém, é somente aplicável a uma classe bastante específica de sistema. Em suma, o sistema deve possuir variáveis de estado desacopladas do restante do sistema, ou seja, variáveis que não sofram influências de outras e que também não provoquem grande efeito nas saídas do sistema. Foi escolhido um sistema multivariável de sexta ordem, com duas entradas e duas saídas para que a técnica de redução de ordem de modelo seja testada. Este sistema possui as características especiais mencionadas anteriormente bem como exige o projeto de compensador dinâmico e a adição de integradores às suas saídas para que seja controlado adequadamente. Este trabalho pretende apresentar o procedimento de todo o projeto mencionado, desde a obtenção de um modelo de ordem reduzida até a implementação do controlador LQG/LTR. Em seguida, o controlador obtido é testado através de diversas simulações e os resultados encontrados são discutidos para a avaliação da eficácia e da praticidade do método proposto para obtenção de controladores de ordem reduzida.

Dimensionamento de estoques de materiais elétricos em centros de distribuição

Due to the high level of service required by customers and the constant need to reduce costs, the logistics can be considered as a strategic area for a company. In particular, the order picking is responsible for most of the operating costs in a warehouse. Therefore it’s necessary to plan the materials storage in order to maximize the space available and minimize the total distance traveled to meet customer orders. For these reasons, this study aims to examine and propose a way to organize the electrical materials storage in distribution centers through a study on an electronics company in Cajamar

Verfahren und Anlage zum automatisierten Kommissionieren von in Beuteln verpackten Gütern

Automatisiertes Kommissionieren von biegeschlaffen Teilen stellt seit jeher ein besonderes Problem für die Handhabungstechnik dar, und es sind bisher verschiedenartigste sondermaschinenbauliche Lösungen hervorgebracht worden. Auch für das Kommissionieren von in Folien verpackten Artikeln gibt es einige L��sungen. Diese sind aber hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendung für in Beuteln verpackte Güter eingeschränkt. Ein neuartiges, am Fraunhofer-IML entwickeltes Verfahren verspricht Abhilfe. Der folgende Beitrag stellt dieses Verfahren im Detail vor und zeigt vergangene und zukünftige Untersuchungsfelder auf, die im Rahmen der Entwicklung bearbeitet wurden bzw. werden und sich insbesondere mit der Dimensionierung der Gerätschaften und Hilfsmittel beschäftigen.

Stabilität von Bewertungen zur Auswahl von Systemlösungen am Beispiel automatisierter Kommissioniersysteme für Beutelware

Der Druck auf Kosteneinsparungen und Produktivitätszuwachs in Bereichen der Kommissionierung und somit auch der Wunsch nach Rationalisierung durch Automatisierung wachsen stetig. Besonders bei in Beuteln verpackten Artikeln gestaltet sich jedoch eine Automatisierung der Kommissioniervorgänge aufgrund der mechanischen Produkteigenschaften schwierig. Entsprechende Systeme sind erst noch zu entwickeln. Im Systementwicklungsprozess möchte man möglichst frühzeitig Entscheidungen treffen können, um die technisch-wirtschaftlich sinnvollste Lösungsvariante auszuwählen und Entwicklungsaufwand einzusparen. Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit den Eigenschaften besagter Produkte im Hinblick auf deren automatisierte Handhabung und zeigt einen konstruktionsmethodischen Ansatz zur Bewertung systemtechnischer Lösungsansätze mit zugehörigerer Sensitivitätsanalyse auf.

Leistungsbewertung und -optimierung in der manuellen Kommissionierung

In der Auftragszusammenstellung spielt der Mensch u. a. aufgrund seiner hohen Flexibilität bezüglich der Aufgabeneinteilung und der Fähigkeit, unterschiedlich dimensionierte Objekte leicht handzuhaben eine wesentliche Rolle. Um die Leistungen der Mitarbeiter individuell beurteilen zu können, ist die Berücksichtigung heterogener Arbeitsinhalte notwendig. Beispielsweise ist anzunehmen, dass Kommissionieraufträge mit relativ schweren Artikeln mehr Zeit in Anspruch nehmen als Aufträge mit leichteren Artikeln. Ebenso nimmt der Kommissionieraufwand zu, wenn mehr Auftragspositionen anzufahren sind und wenn größere Distanzen zurückgelegt werden müssen. Durch die Quantifizierung solcher Leistungseinflussfaktoren auf Mitarbeiterebene können individuelle Leistungsprofile erstellt werden, aus denen ganzheitliche Leistungsbeurteilungen sowie Optimierungen in der Personaleinsatzplanung und Kommissionierauftragssteuerung hervorgehen.

Examples of PDEs all whose points are characteristic

Let π : FM ! M be the bundle of linear frames of a manifold M. A basis Lijk , j < k, of diffeomorphism invariant Lagrangians on J1 (FM) was determined in [J. Muñoz Masqué, M. E. Rosado, Invariant variational problems on linear frame bundles, J. Phys. A35 (2002) 2013-2036]. The notion of a characteristic hypersurface for an arbitrary first-order PDE system on an ar- bitrary bred manifold π : P → M, is introduced and for the systems dened by the Euler-Lagrange equations of Lijk every hypersurface is shown to be characteristic. The Euler-Lagrange equations of the natural basis of Lagrangian densities Lijk on the bundle of linear frames of a manifold M which are invariant under diffeomorphisms, are shown to be an underdetermined PDEs systems such that every hypersurface of M is characteristic for such equations. This explains why these systems cannot be written in the Cauchy-Kowaleska form, although they are known to be formally integrable by using the tools of geometric theory of partial differential equations, see [J. Muñoz Masqué, M. E. Rosado, Integrability of the eld equations of invariant variational problems on linear frame bundles, J. Geom. Phys. 49 (2004), 119-155]
