Satisfactory weatherproofing of buildings is vital to maximise their design life and performance which requires the careful design of external sealing technologies. Systems commonly available have served well in conventional construction however with many prefabricated systems emerging in the building industry new and novel means of weatherproofing between panels and modules need to be developed purpose specific to this application. This paper presents a holistic and fundamental methodological approach to Design and Development of waterproof seals and has been applied specific for prefabricated panelised and modular systems. Two purpose specific weatherproof seals are finally presented. Flow charts of the overview of the suggested methodological approach and the processes within which include DfMA that have been incorporated into understanding and developing seals for this practical application. These strategies have enabled a resourceful and holistic set of processes that can be adapted and used for similar forms of product research in new and developing areas of construction such as prefabrication. The design and development process is thoroughly investigated and has resulted in an exploration of the technical challenges and potential solutions which take into consideration factors from installation limitations to building tolerances.

A method for measuring the lubricant condition with strain gage in rolling element bearings and the instrument used are introduced. In order to illustrate the method and the instrument, the theory of measuring lubricant films in rolling element bearings using strain technique, test apparatus, microcomputer hardware as well as software, flow charts for the main program and subprograms, are first described in detail. In addition, the lubricant film thickness is measured for several different lubricants and results are compared with theoretical ones. It is demonstrated that using the method and the instrument introduced in this paper, one can measure the lubricant condition inside bearings very accurately.

Human Computer Interaction is an emerging technology which refers to a vast number of algorithms and different types of techniques to enhance the interaction process. Eye gaze technology is one of the most significant techniques of modern science and can be used in many areas like security, typing, information tracking etc. The need of the system for physically disable people motivated many researchers to develop systems which can be used only using the eye gaze and blinking. In this paper, we are going to represent the development of a virtual keyboard which work by detecting eye gaze and eye blinking. It involves building a system that capture video directly from PC camera and detects human face, eyes. To detect face accurately we will follow a simple rule as the eyes and lips are always in the sample place as image, which will make the eye detection process much easier. To do this we are going to use an approach that involves the 68 points of face which is specific and must exist in every face as- the eye area, top of the chin, eyebrow, nose, outside edge of face etc. It also detect eye gaze as left, right to select keyboard portion and eye blinking to select the desired key from the virtual keyboard on the board. The goal of this system is to type without using finger or hands. Such types of application are really important and blessings for those people who completely lost the control of their limbs. The methodology is described including flow-charts for each stage of the system and then implementation results has described.

Abstract Dynamic simulation solver codes are now extensively used by industry for the design verification of vehicle crashworthiness and for the process simulation of sheet metal forming. The logical next step is to use these by now proven codes for the optimization of the vehicle crash design and of metal forming processes. A step towards this goal has been taken by PSI, and an optimization code, PAM-OPT™, has been written for calling dynamic FE codes of the PAM-SOLID™ family in design and process optimization loops. The code interacts with the user via input, signalling and output files and it calls an interface that interacts with the FE solvers. The paper briefly outlines the properties and various flow charts of the optimizer, depending on single or multiple solvers used in the loop, single or parallel calls and fast solvers. Then the paper reports various applications of PAM-OPT™ in conjunction with the PAM-SFE™, PAM-CRASH™, PAM-SAFE™ and PAM-STAMP™ solvers. An outlook on how to replace the user-written interface with a general keyword-driven interface concludes the paper.
