Abstract:
Computer Aided Design (CAD) has the capability to influence a company's competitiveness in terms of quality, flexibility and cost effectiveness of design. Consequently, the opportunities provided by the efficient and effective use of CAD techniques are vital to a company's operational and business success. The aims of this research have been to; 1 Ascertain and identify the contribution and relevance of human factor and technological issues within a successful CAD implementation methodology. 2. Develop a human factor understanding which, when incorporated into an implementation methodology aids the introduction of CAD technology and increases the likelihood of realising opportunities. The initial research is based on a review of the literature on CAD and a pilot study of six companies employing CAD. This identifies the mix of issues involved during implementation as being, Technical, Organisational and Human. It also highlights the main problems experienced by companies as a function of the levels of Support, Direction and Communication. The above issues have been incorporated into a CAD introduction framework based on quality criteria. The results of this initial stage of the research have been substantiated by in-depth case studies of three companies, in various stages of CAD adoption and "Best Practice" activities have been identified for each area of the framework and related to the overall performance of the companies. To widen the scope of the investigation and provide more evidence, the framework was then employed in the in-depth analysis of six further case studies. These identified CAD support as playing a key role in maximising CAD potential. From this evidence a "Support Framework" has been proposed and validated via the results of a written postal questionnaire distributed to 1000 UK companies. Evidence from the 100 respondents of the postal survey strongly supports the proposition and suggests that companies are experiencing human problems, especially in the area of advanced 3D CAD. The problems are a result of inadequate internal support systems and can be overcome by the methods proposed by this research.

Abstract:
Les récentes avancées en biologie des systèmes et en biologie synthétique contribuent déjà au fleurissement d'applications en ingénierie métabolique visant une bioproduction renouvelable de composés chimiques. Nous pouvons entrevoir un futur où des microbes serait conçus à la carte afin de valoriser n'importe quelle source de carbone en n'importe quel composé d'intérêt. Si la route est longue avant l'accomplissement d'un tel objectif, son parcours devrait en être grandement facilité par l'exploitation de méthodes d'ingénierie déjà éprouvées dans d'autres disciplines. On s'attend entre autre à ce que l'utilisation de logiciels de Conception Assistée par Ordinateur (CAO) diminue le temps et l’expertise nécessaires à la construction de voies métaboliques n'existant pas dans la nature. La première partie de cette thèse est dédiée à notre méthode de prédiction de voies métaboliques et à ses implémentations. Nous décrivons tout particulièrement RetroPath2.0, un outil de prédiction de réseaux de réactions mettant l'accent sur les applications de rétrosynthèse, et qui est construit pour être facilement extensible par la communauté. Dans la seconde partie, nous détaillons l'intérêt des biosenseurs intracellulaires pour l'ingénierie métabolique et introduisons SensiPath; une application web qui exploite un outil de prédiction de réactions pour concevoir des circuits métaboliques permettant la biodétection de composés pour lesquels aucun biosenseur direct n'est connu. Dans l'ensemble, cette thèse propose que les outils de bioCAO devraient permettre de révéler la créativité de leurs utilisateurs et encourager l'exploration de nouvelles applications
Advances in systems and synthetic biology are fueling our ability to develop successful metabolic engineering applications for the sustainable production of bio-based chemicals. We can envision a future in which designer cells could be engineered to transform any carbon source into any target compound. This daunting task will be achieved by leveraging methods that proved themselves in other engineering disciplines. Among those, the use of Computer Aided Design(CAD) softwares is expected to reduce the amount of time and expert knowledge needed to design de novo metabolic pathways. The first part of this thesis is dedicated to our pathway prediction algorithm and its CAD implementations. Most notably, we will present RetroPath2.0, a versatile reaction network prediction framework focused on retrosynthesis that is built to be easily extensible by the community. In the second part, we will highlight the interest of intracellular biosensors for metabolic engineering and introduce SensiPath, a web application that uses a reaction prediction engine to design biosensing circuits for compounds for which no direct biosensors are known. Altogether, this thesis proposes that bioCAD tools should focus on empowering users’ creativity and encourage them to explore original applications

Abstract:
Abstract This survey can be seen as quite multidisciplinary research. The basis for this study has been inapplicability of different CAD user interfaces in architectural design. The objective of this research is to improve architectural design from the creative problem-solving viewpoint, where the main goal is to intensify architectural design by using information technology. The research is linked to theory of methods, where an internal approach to design process means studying the actions and thinking of architects in the design process. The research approach has been inspired by hermeneutics. The human thinking process is divided into subconscious and conscious thinking. The subconscious plays a crucial role in creative work. The opposite of creative work is systematic work, which attempts to find solutions by means of logical inference. Both creative and systematic problem solving have had periods of predominance in the history of Finnish architecture. The perceptions in the present study indicate that neither method alone can produce optimal results. Logic is one of the tools of creativity, since the analysis and implementation of creative solutions require logical thinking. The creative process cannot be controlled directly, but by creating favourable work conditions for creativity, it can be enhanced. Present user interfaces can make draughting and the creation of alternatives quicker and more effective in the final stages of designing. Only two thirds of the architects use computers in working design, even the CAD system is being acquired in greater number of offices. User interfaces are at present inflexible in sketching. Draughting and sketching are the basic methods of creative work for architects. When working with the mouse, keyboard and screen the natural communication channel is impaired, since there is only a weak connection between the hand and the line being drawn on the screen. There is no direct correspondence between hand movements and the lines that appear on the screen, and the important items cannot be emphasized by, for example, pressing the pencil more heavily than normally. In traditional sketching the pen is a natural extension of the hand, as sketching can sometimes be controlled entirely by the unconscious. Conscious efforts in using the computer shift the attention away from the actual design process. However, some architects have reached a sufficiently high level of skill in the use of computer applications in order to be able to use them effectively in designing without any harmful effect on the creative process. There are several possibilities in developing CAD systems aimed at architectural design, but the practical creative design process has developed during a long period of time, in which case changing it in a short period of time would be very difficult. Although CAD has had, and will have, some evolutionary influences on the design process of architects as an entity, the future CAD user interface should adopt its features from the architect's practical and creative design process, and not vice versa.

Abstract:
Power electronic converters are being increasingly used on isolated marine power systems, to provide variable speed control of electric motors. As the rating of these drive converters increases, the converter load becomes a significant part of the total system load. Traditional methods for calculating the performance characristics, which assume the presence of an infinite busbar on the system, are not appropriate for such systems. The intercoupling which exists between system components such as synchronous generators, converters, and the drive motor must be included in the calculation. In this thesis, a commercially available software simulator Saber, is used to model a complete electrical cycloconverter propulsion drive, of the type which may be used for future Royal Navy frigates. This model includes the synchronous generators, cycloconverters, and induction motor drives. The simulation is performed in the time domain, which ensures that the intercoupling present between system components is preserved. The simulation is not restricted to one converter configuration, and has been used to investigate the relative merits of a number of possible converter connections. This method can be used to study drive performance under unbalanced conditions as well as for normal balanced operation. There is no perceived limit to the size, or complexity, of the converter systems which can be studied using this method. The only cost would be increased computer run times.

Abstract:
Robots with vision capability have been taught to recognize unknown objects by comparing their shape features with those of known objects, which are stored in the vision system as a knowledge base. Traditionally, this knowledge base is created by showing the robot the set of objects that it is likely to come across. This is done with the vision system to be used and must be done in an online mode. An approach to teach the robot in an off-line mode by integrating the robot vision system and an off-line graphic system, has been developed in this research. Instead of showing the objects that the robot is likely to come across, graphic models of the objects were created in an off-line graphic system and a FORTRAN program that processes the models to extract their shape parameters was developed. These shape parameters were passed to the vision system. A program to process an unknown object placed in front of the vision system was developed to extract its shape parameters. A program that compares the parameters of the unknown object with those of the known models was also developed. The vision system was calibrated to measure the pixel dimensions in inches. In the vision system, shape parameters of the objects were found to vary with different orientations. The range of variation for each parameter was established and this was taken into consideration in the parameter comparison program.

Abstract:
Electronic engineering product design is a complex process which has enjoyed an increasing provision of computer based tools since the early 1980's. Over this period computer aided design tool development has progressed at such a pace that new features and functions have tended to be market driven. As such CAD tools have not been developed through the recommended practise of defining a functional specification prior to any software code generation. This thesis defines a new functional specification for next generation CAD tools to support the electronics product design process. It is synthesized from a review of the use of computers in the electronics product design process, from a case study of Best Practices prevalent in a wide range of electronics companies and from a new model of the design process. The model and the best practices have given rise to a new concept for company engineering documentation, the Product Book which provides a logical framework for constraining CAD tools and their users (designers) as means of controlling costs in the design process. This specification differs from current perceptions of computer functionality in the CAD tool industry by addressing human needs together with company needs of computer supported design, rather than just providing more technological support for the designer in isolation.

Abstract:
Assembly-oriented design offers great potential for product rationalisation, increasing productivity and reducing lead time and cost. It results in simpler and more reliable products which are less expensive to assemble and manufacture. To facilitate assembly-oriented design, an assembly-oriented CAD environment is needed to incorporate Design for Assembly (DFA) evaluation from an early design stage. Assembly planning should also be integrated to support the DFA evaluation. This thesis reports the results of research towards supporting such an assembly-oriented CAD environment. A novel approach has been used to deploy an Expert Assembler to support proactive DFA evaluation and assembly sequence definition. This is particularly useful, as designers are rarely if ever assembly experts. Based on the fact that there are several areas needing expert support in this assembly-oriented CAD environment, but that different areas have very different requirements and different knowledge is involved, the Expert Assembler deployed contains several separated modules. Each module is an expert agent devised to tackle a problem area that uses a suitable problem solving strategy, knowledge representation and reasoning method. This brings a number of advantages that are detailed in the thesis. The thesis presents systematical ideas for support proactive DFA, with the focus on support for part count reduction and assembly sequence generation. This is realised by three elements of the expert agents: Part Count Advisor, Starting Part Advisor, and Next Part Advisor. Part count reduction is usually based on dialogue with the user. There is little computational support for this issue in any of the DFA methodologies and related literature. This research fills the gap: it brings computational support for part count reduction from the early design stage. The work has also made new progress in assembly sequence generation. The Starting Part Advisor and the Next Part Advisor cooperate with each other and with the user to provide suggestions dynamically and transparently regarding base part and the most suitable next part selection in assembly sequence definition. Case studies were used to test the effectiveness of the Advisors.

Abstract:
CADSYN (Computer Aided Design SYNthesis) is a visual, interactive computer program working under Computer Aided Design (CAD) enviroment, which accomplishes the synthesis and analysis of planar four-bar mechanisms. The synthesis tasks are motion generation, path generation and function generation. During synthesis, the dyadic approach is utilized which introduces vector pairs and complex number algebra to model the motion. The possible solutions can be limited for link dimensions, the center circle point curves within a certain region, transmission angle characteristics, branch and order defects. The designed mechanism can be analyzed for velocity, acceleration and transmission angle and any of the data can be exported to Excel®
for further analysis. The software is designed to provide the user maximum feasible number of solutions. In four multiply separated position synthesis, if there is flexibility in the value(s) of one or any number of input parameter(s), designer can obtain different Burmester curves by changing those parameter(s). Designer can also simulate the kinematics of the mechanism by using drawing functions that are available from the CAD iv enviroment at any time. Drawing parts in the design plane can be attached to any link of the mechanism and can be simulated throughout the motion as part of the link it is attached. As a whole, this computer program is designed to satisfy the needs of mechanism designers while working in CAD enviroment.

Abstract:
A basic requirement of all CAD systems, is that the facilities offered remain relevant to the current needs of users. A characteristic of CAD system users is that their requirements continually change or, to be more accurate, evolve, as their understanding of the design problem and available technology develops. This trait is exemplified by their inability to articulate requirements, both immediate and future with any degree of confidence. Industrial experience of using the traditional methods for developing information systems, which are based upon the Linear Life Cycle (LLC) concept, has proven to be unsuitable for CAD applications. Its failure results from the premise that users' requirements may be accurately stated at the start of the cycle and will not change with time. The need for a new development strategy which supports the evolving requirements of CAD system users is therefore evident. This research resulted in the formulation of such a development strategy. It is based upon an evolutionary approach to system development in which the users' requirements are initially satisfied by the design and implementation of a pilot sub-system which in turn forms the basis for evolution by, its incremental modification and/or extension. The success of this approach principally lies in the ability to modify the software as required with tbe minimum of resources. A major factor determining the degree to which a system may be modified was identified to beits software configuration. A number of design techniques were proposed which contributed to highly flexible configurations, principally through the criteria for functional partitioning, decoupling of functional modules from data storage and the method of organising the data. A new type of data structure was also devised which enabled new data entities and relationships to be added with no modification to the software structure. The development methods resulting from this research were extensively validated during the design and implementation of a large scale industrial CAD system.
