Printed circuit assemblies (PCA) typically are designed on computer aided design (CAD) systems, checked, then released for manufacture. The released design description typically consists of a top assembly drawing and a series of data files which are used
This paper provides a brief perspective on how the coordination of cascaded surge-protective devices (SPDs) has become an issue. We propose an approach where the 'ancient' technology of gapped arresters may well be the answer to the dilemma of the
The valence bond method and advanced computational technique are used to perform all-electron ab initio calculations of the electronic structure of diatomic molecules. The basic idea behind the method is to expand the molecular wavefunction in terms of
Mere data sharing between engineering design systems and manufacturing systems does not represent an ideal integrated system. While data sharing represents an important aspect of an integrated design and manufacturing environment, an equally critical
Computer representations for machine tools, cutting tools, and associated hardware are used within a variety of manufacturing software applications. Currently there is no agreed-upon mechanism for representing such manufacturing resource data and as a

U. S. and Canadian reaction-to-fire tests for wire and cable are examined. The technical basis for their development is analyzed. The data requirements for engineering computations of fire hazard are examined. It is found that the current methods are
This work is a computer simulation of the control of flexible robot arm. The dynamic equations for a single-link flexible robot arm have been derived rigorously. This arm has two degrees of freedom in rotation and one in translation so that the workspace
The National Bureau of Standards' Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) includes three machining workstations. In the vertical workstation (VWS) metal parts are machined automatically from a design. A simple part may be designed and machined

The basic structure of a hierarchical control system is a tree, wherein each computational module has a single superior, and one or more subordinate modules. The top module is where the highest level decisions are made and the longest planning horizon
CMAC is an adaptive system by which control functions for many degrees of freedom operating simultaneously can be computed by referring to a table rather than by mathematical solution of simultaneous equations. CMAC combines input commands and feedback
The third-order asymptotic aberration coefficients of round electrostatic electron lenses are formulated, following Hawkes, in a form independent of object and aperture positions. Six quantities are sufficient to specify completely the third-order

The quasi-optical propagation of mmw signals has been instrumental in designing high-accuracy localization algorithms. These algorithms either exploit the geometric properties of the mmw signals or are based on an environment's radio footprints, leading to

A series of experiments are reported that characterize key features of the structure of eight medium-scale pool fires (0.3 m to 0. 4 m) burning a variety of liquid and gaseous fuel types, including 30 cm diameter liquid pool fires burning methanol, ethanol

Maintenance Work Orders (MWOs) are a useful way of recording semi-structured information regarding maintenance activities in a factory or other industrial setting. Analysis of these MWOs could provide valuable insights regarding the many facets of
