With the ever-increasing importance of e-commerce/e-business in the manufacturing, traditional standalone CAD/CAPP applications are evolving into web-based applications deployed via the Internet. This paper presents a unique web-based application for automated process planning and NC code generation for mill-turn parts. The application is targeted at a wide range of users. It requires no special software or CAD package at the user’s end, and can be used even by people with virutally no manufacturing knowledge. At the same time, it is also a valuable service for manufacturing experts. This application uses client/server architecture and is developed using Java technologies. This web-based application can be accessed via Internet using any standard web browser with JRE (Java run-time environment), and Java Web Start is used to deploy this application. For wide usability, the application supports easy part specification and automated process planning. Once the part is designed, the user may request NC code generation. The process planning kernel on the server automatically executes all process planning tasks like machinable volume identification, operations sequencing, parameter selection, etc. and generates an intermediate Cutter Location (CL) code. The Cutter Location code is quite generic and can be adapted for any machine using the respective post processors. The interface is also capable of displaying the tool path for verification. The NC code is generated based on the post processor selected by the user and can be downloaded to the client machine if the user is satisfied. It is hoped that this application will develop into a pay-per-use instant NC code generation web service for novices and experts; such a service is currently not offered anywhere on the Internet.

This paper describes a novel method for automated process planning for rough boring of turned components with arbitrary internal geometry from a semi-finished stock. Earlier work has been reported on process planning for boring of components with monotonic internal geometry made from bar stock. This paper addresses the more general problem of process planning of parts with non-monotonic internal feature list from arbitrary given initial geometry, i.e., from a casting or from a semi-finished stock. With the algorithms developed, we are able to achieve full automation of all aspects of the process plan, including operations sequencing, parameter selection, NC code generation, etc. Thus, it becomes possible to go from design to NC code in a fully automated fashion. In the present work we focus on a tightly defined part family, which results in very simple but robust automation algorithms. This is in contrast to much of the reported work on automated process planning, which generally targets broad part families, leading to complex algorithms that fall short of complete design-to-NC automation.

This paper describes a novel method for automated process planning from bar stock for rough boring of turned components with monotonic internal geometry. By focussing on a well-defined but substantial part family, we are able to achieve complete automation of all aspects of the process plan, including operations sequencing, parameter selection, NC code generation, etc. Thus, it becomes possible to go from design to NC code in a fully automated fashion. The focus on a tightly defined part family also results in very simple but robust automation algorithms. This is in contrast to much of the reported work on automated process planning, which generally target diverse part families, leading to complex algorithms that fall short of complete design-to-NC automation.


In the present era, the internet and new technologies are changing the information behavior of news reader .Instead of reading a copy of the local newspaper or watching the scheduledevening news, people increasingly turn to the internet for daily news updates. A Multi-Lingual news feed application is aimed at developing a web based application named multilingual news feed app. This Application deals with the user who wants to read news from the web application. User can select different countries in which a user is interested, the latest news will be fetched from the selected country. The news will be fetched and displayed based on the country selected in its own national language & the news is categorized into 7 different categories. A user can select any category which they are looking for. When you are done selecting the country & category, then the page will automatically refresh and the news will be displayed on MultiLingual news feed application. This application also supports translation and the news can be translated into any language. This application is fully responsive and has a good-looking user interface. The users will find this application much interesting for reading the news articles.

Businesses and governments continue to expand the use of the internet to access and provide a wide range services to consumers. This change in service delivery presents a potential access barrier for people who do not have access to the internet available in their homes. Publicly available computers attempt to bridge this gap; however, it is not clear if people are willing to use computers in these environments to engage in the full range of web-based activities, particularly online transactions. We expand Triandis’ modified TRA model to consider user characteristics and the impact of the physical and virtual environment on public transactional use of websites. Results indicate that people are sensitive to the physical environment surrounding the computer and that Internet self-efficacy supports public transactional use while individual need for privacy deters transactional use in a public environment. In addition, people without personal internet access do complete transactions at other non-public locations and that completing transactions from non-public locations is a strong determinant of public transactional use.
