Quality control chart design under Jidoka

We consider design of control charts in the presence of machine stoppages that are exogenously imposed (as under jidoka practices). Each stoppage creates an opportunity for inspection/repair at reduced cost. We first model a single machine facing opportunities arriving according to a Poisson process, develop the expressions for its operating characteristics and construct the optimization problem for economic design of a control chart. We, then, consider the multiple machine setting where individual machine stoppages may create inspection/repair opportunities for other machines. We develop exact expressions for the cases when all machines are either opportunity‐takers or not. On the basis of an approximation for the all‐taker case, we then propose an approximate model for the mixed case. In a numerical study, we examine the opportunity taking behavior of machines in both single and multiple machine settings and the impact of such practices on the design of an X – Q C chart. Our findings indicate that incorporating inspection/repair opportunities into QC chart design may provide considerable cost savings. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 2009     

航空发动机叶片的内窥涡流集成化原位检测

目前内窥检测是航空发动机叶片原位检测的唯一方法,但是内窥检测对于叶片裂纹缺陷的检测效果不理想.为此,提出内窥涡流集成化检测技术,使这两种方法的优势互补,实现对航空发动机叶片的原位检测.研制了一种可用于航空发动机叶片原位检测的内窥涡流集成化检测探头,给出了航空发动机叶片的检测实例.检测结果表明:内窥涡流集成化检测技术的缺陷检测能力高,并且可以实现对裂纹缺陷的定量评估,因此较单一的内窥检测更有优越性.具有很高的实际应用价值.     

我国边境法制建设中需要重点完善的方面

在国家法制建设不断推进的背景下,我国边境法制建设的某些方面还不够完善,需要加快立法进程,尽快制定全国统一的陆地国界法,为陆地边境管理提供法律依据;完善海上边防管理法规,为维护国家海洋权益提供法律保障;加紧出台统一的出入境法典,整合出入境法律体系;完善打击“三股势力”和跨境犯罪的法律制度,维护边境安全稳定。

现代海洋法与我国边防管理工作

现代海洋法对建立世界海洋新制度、维护海洋新秩序发挥了积极作用,对我国海上边防管理工作也带来了深刻影响。为应对这种影响,需要进一步创新工作机制,规范出海船舶的许可和查验措施,健全海上航行船舶的监控识别制度,增加海上巡航监管的力度,及时防范和打击各种违法犯罪活动,以维护我国海洋权益和海洋安全稳定。     

CAN总线在装甲车辆故障诊断与状态检测系统中的应用

针对目前装甲车辆内部设备种类繁多、故障机理复杂且缺乏较为全面的实时在线故障诊断与状态检测手段这一问题,提出了一种基于CAN总线的网络化在线故障诊断与状态检测系统设计方案,进行了CAN总线通信网的短帧应用层协议开发以及系统实现。该系统具有实时数据采集、在线故障诊断和状态检测等功能,且扩展性强。该系统通过了实车试验,测试结果验证了该方案的可行性和系统工作的可靠性。     

POLITICAL CHANGE AND BORDER SECURITY REFORM IN EURASIA: The cCase of Georgia

This article presents four challenges to promoting border security in post-Soviet Eurasia, even in those states that have experienced regime change and profess new interest in constructing sound state institutions. The analysis is drawn from the specific example of Georgia—a major recipient of U.S. border security assistance and the site of several intercepted efforts of radioactive materials trafficking—but it is relevant to other states in the region, as well. The challenges assessed are: (1) the gradual nature of border regime reform, (2) trade-offs that subordinate border reform to other developmental priorities, (3) bureaucratic inertia and politics, and (4) the continued existence of unrecognized territories that lie beyond the reach of the state and of international law.

Inspection games with local and global allocation bounds

This article discusses a two‐player noncooperative nonzero‐sum inspection game. There are multiple sites that are subject to potential inspection by the first player (an inspector). The second player (potentially a violator) has to choose a vector of violation probabilities over the sites, so that the sum of these probabilities do not exceed one. An efficient method is introduced to compute all Nash equilibria parametrically in the amount of resource that is available to the inspector. Sensitivity analysis reveals nonmonotonicity of the equilibrium utility of the inspector, considered as a function of the amount of resource that is available to it; a phenomenon which is a variant of the well‐known Braess paradox. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Whatever happened to South America's splendid little wars?

South America has gained international media attention due to its ongoing arms race, with politicians and analysts warning about the possibility of war. Nevertheless, since the Chaco War in the 1930s, the region has seldom faced major inter-state wars, all of which have been short-lived and with relatively few casualties. This article will discuss in greater detail the ongoing arms race in South America, portraying it as a race ‘of levels’, with not all countries carrying out massive weaponry purchases. Finally, I will discuss regional geopolitics, geosecurity and integration as part of an analysis regarding the unlikelihood of war.
