A tunable demultiplexer with three output channels infiltrated by liquid crystal (LC) is presented, which is based on a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide. The operating frequencies of the three output channels can be tuned simultaneously at will by changing the external bias electric field applied to the LC. By analyzing the Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonance modes of the finite-length MIM waveguide both theoretically and numerically, the locations of the three channels are delicately determined to achieve the best demultiplexing effects. Terahertz (THz) signals input from the main channel can be demultiplexed by channels 1, 2 and 3 at 0.7135 THz, 1.068 THz and 1.429 THz, respectively. By applying an external electric field to alter the tilt angle of the infiltrating LC material, the operating frequencies of channels 1, 2 and 3 can be relatively shifted up to 12.3%, 9.6% and 9.7%, respectively. The designed demultiplexer can not only provide a flexible means to demultiplex signals but also tune operating bands of output channels at the same time.

Abstract In this study, we summerize the method of fuzzy optimization using fuzzy numbers as design variables. In order to detect flaw in fuzzy calculation, we use LR-fuzzy numbers, which is known as its simplicity in calculation. We also use simple fuzzy numbers’ operations, which was proposed in the previous papers. The proposed method has unique characteristics that we can obtain fuzzy sets in design variables (results of the design) directly from single numerical optimizing process. Which takes a large number of numerical optimizing processes when we try to obtain similar results in the conventional methods. In the numerical examples, we compare the proposed method with several other methods taking imprecision in design parameters into account, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The present study investigated design parameters of an anti-siphon device used with shunt valves to treat patients with hydrocephalus. Structural analyses were performed to understand roles of design variables and optimize performance of the diaphragm-type anti-siphon device (hereafter referred to as the ASD). Experiments were performed on the lab-made product and showed good agreements with the numerical simulations. Using the simulations, we were able to design a more physiological ASD which gave equal opening pressures in both supine and upright postures. Tissue encapsulization phenomenon was also simulated and the results indicated underdrainage of CSF in the upright position of the patient.

Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) has better mechanical properties and it is possible to produce near net shape. Aluminum-based MMC (Al-MMC) has challenges in terms of machinability studies and estimation of its optimum process parameters. Alternative cutting fluid research is a challenging area in machining. To avoid, existing hydrocarbon oil-based cutting fluid, textured inserts embedded with a solid lubricant are one of the alternative solutions. Micro hole textured inserts make a hole on the rake face of the cutting tool inserts. Texture includes various important design parameters namely hole diameter, hole depth and pitch between the holes. These optimum parameters influence the machining process. In this work, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is used to find the optimum design parameters (hole diameter, hole depth and pitch between holes) during turning of Al- MMC. The objective parameters considered are minimization of surface roughness, power consumption and tool flank wear. The optimum combination of these design parameters is obtained by the higher relative closeness value of the TOPSIS method. The result of the investigation revealed that these design parameters are important to obtain improved machining performance. Also, it is understood that the TOPSIS method has an appropriate procedure to solve multiple objective optimization problems in manufacturing industries.
