Abstract: A barreled liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) distribution system has a system infrastructure with a vehicle dispatch device (30) communicatively connected to multiple consumer ends and multiple vehicle ends. The consumer ends and the vehicle ends are equipped with multiple first and second electronic devices (20). When one of the consumer ends orders barreled LPG, a corresponding first electronic device (10) is used to transmit an order message. The vehicle dispatch device (30) performs a scheduled order mode, an instant order mode or a self-pickup order mode according to the order message. By the self-pickup order mode, barreled LPG can be delivered to consumers at non-fixed premises. Different discounts are given to consumers for choosing the scheduled order mode or the self-pickup order mode. Meanwhile, free spots within a delivery schedule can be utilized for the instant order mode. Accordingly, distribution efficiency and consumer interaction can be enhanced.

Abstract: A method comprising the steps of: 
     manufacturing with a milling machine a junction part for an airplane wing with overmaterial (204); 
     each part is measured with a laser based interferometer or other scanning technique and the "as built" measurements are compared with a model to generate a new trajectory milling program to fill or prevent gaps between parts using a points cloud and B-Spline algorithm to generate a new surface to be milled (206, 208); 
     once the program is generated (new trajectories) and post processed, it is sent to a milling machine to perform overmaterial milling on already milled parts with overmaterial (210).
