Abstract: This paper presents a novel algorithm for optimal packing problem by combining ant colony algorithm with BLF (bottom-left-fill) heuristic approach. The proposed algorithm not only ...

Abstract: On the premise of solving the problem in a specific situation, this paper aims at the laser marking machine to design and optimize the outline extraction of the two-dimensional composite ...

If you’re curious about how to create a cryptocurrency, you’re in good company. Since 2014, crypto data aggregator CoinGecko has tracked more than 24,000 cryptocurrency projects. More than half of ...

Two-dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems are widespread in manufacturing industries such as shipbuilding, metalworking, automotive production, aerospace, clothing and furniture manufacturing.

It’s possible that we’ve all spent too much time on TikTok. The short-form video app serves users a curated smorgasbord of content through a superpowered algorithm that predicts what you will or won’t ...

Think about Append Features to Layer as a Copy & Paste algorithm, which extracts features from a source vector layer and pastes them into an existing target vector layer. In fact, the algorithm is ...

Many years ago, I was at a bar during the period where Chipotle, the fast-casual burrito chain, was still exploding in popularity and opening new locations everywhere. The appeal was easy to see, ...

Identical cubes can pack into dense space-filling aggregates, but most shapes do not. As a result, the aggregates formed by these shapes tend to be frustrated, giving rise to arrested, glassy states 7 ...

v4.2.4 - 26 April 2011 Input polygon coordinates can now contain the full range of signed 64bit integers (ie +/-9,223,372,036,854,775,807). This means that floating point values can be converted to ...
