This paper focuses on the redesign of an innovative punch and bind machine. Business machines can be integrated with recent technology that enables productivity and efficiency. Integrating smart technologies in the existing traditional business machines will ease the evolution of these systems. The creation of a pilot platform is required, which enables further developments on servitization. In order to ease and increase the office document binding rate, as well as reduce the probability of errors to occur, efforts were made to develop a measuring system which allows the correct measurement of the document and simultaneously specify the appropriate binding spine. Developments were made in a system that allows the inserted spine verification. In addition, a system for automated document binding, with the correct position of paper sheets was developed. The integrated platform allowing communication between all systems is presented. The new system has several advantages in both its hardware design and its underlying sensors, providing a significant improvement in performance and upgradability over existing systems. The mechatronic system combines mechanical position sensing with electronics implementation of the hardware and the basic algorithms. This solution consists in a system that allows the punch and bind optimization of a range of sheets of paper, plastic or other materials.

Abstract Composite materials are used in many industries. Their mechanical and physical properties as well as their low weight make them suitable for use in many constructions. Their wide application generates a problem with their disposal. Therefore, it is necessary to design new materials based on waste from polyester–glass laminates in order to introduce a closed circuit in the composite production process. The article presents research aimed at determining solid material composites with polyester–glass recyclate, in order to use these materials for modeling the structure. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of recyclate to the polyester–glass composite on the deformation and the value of the Poisson number of the material. During the study, samples from composites with the addition of polyester–glass recyclate were used. Samples made in accordance with the standard for plastics PN-EN ISO 527-4_2000P were subjected to static tensile test on a universal testing machine, with variable load parameters. During the test, the longitudinal and transverse elongations of the samples were measured using a strain gauge measuring system. On the basis of the measurements, the values of Poisson numbers were determined, which allowed for a preliminary assessment of the impact of the recyclate content in the composite on its deformability.

In the production of green parts from powder, there is unavoidable slight deviation in the die filling, even when high-quality powders are used. The quantity of powder in the die varies and thus affects the weight of the compact. This filling variation results in variation of the pressing force, and thus influences the part geometry. The development of the DORST Netshape® System was conceived as an autonomous manufacturing system in order to compensate for these effects. Based on the Dorst Industry 4.0 innovations for part weight measuring immediately after pressing in combination with a laser dimension measuring system, this technology package attempts to reach enhanced precision and consistency in production. The paper presents results from various trials that show the capability of this new system, designed to improve the quality of pressed parts.

New System

A new system for measuring bridge deflections based on laser imaging process is introduced. Firstly, principle of this system is analyzed with geometrical optics theory. Secondly, hardwares of measuring system are illuminated in detail, and the key software problems are discussed, including laser spot center location and accurate control of motorized TV zoom lens. The laser spot center location is realized by using image fuzzy edge extraction algorithm and Hough transform algorithm. The accurate control of motorized TV zoom lens' motors is realized by using a control-driving card based on ISA bus. At last, the contrastive experiments are operated on a certain continuous steel bridge with this system and dial test indicator. The experimental results show that this system is equal precision with dial test indicator, and can get over defects of traditional measuring methods. The security and reliability is much higher relatively and the precision can match to the engineering requirement.

The Health Board is one of the largest public health care providers in New Zealand (NZ). In early 1999, a supply chain optimization review recommended an enterprise system (ES) implementation to provide better control and reporting of organizational finances. The focus of this case is the IT platform decision made in conjunction with the ES implementation process. This decision was thoroughly considered by all Health Board stakeholders and the final choice was made in alignment with the Board’s strategic IT policy. Nevertheless, initial testing two months prior to go-live revealed major performance problems with the new system. The case documents the events that led up to the selection of the original IT platform and the challenges the project team faced in deciding what to do when the platform did not meet contractual specifications.

The Relationship

Recently, miniaturized machine tools (mMT) have become a promising micro/meso-mechanical manufacturing technique to overcome the material limitation and produce complex 3D meso-scale components with higher accuracy. To achieve sub-micron accuracy, geometric errors of a miniaturized machine tool should be identified and compensated. An optic multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) measuring system, composed of one laser diode, two beam splitters and three position sensing detectors (PSDs), is proposed for simultaneous measurement of horizontal straightness, vertical straightness, pitch, yaw and roll errors along a moving axis of mMT. Homogeneous transformation matrix (HTM) is used to derive the relationship between the readings of PSDs and geometric errors, and an error estimation algorithm is presented to calculate the geometric errors. Simulation is carried out to prove the estimation accuracy of this algorithm. In theory, the measurement resolution of this proposed system can reach up to 0.03 μm and 0.06 arcsec for translational and rotational errors, respectively.

Abstract Low strain integrity tests in piles are relatively cheap, of quick execution and nondestructive. Despite all these advantages, several variables are involved and the influence of external factors can complicate the interpretation of the results. Between them, the influence of the pile reinforcement can be high lighted. In piles partially reinforced, the difference in density and elastic modulus of the concrete in different parts of the pile and the influence of the process of introducing the reinforcement bars can induce some reflections in the test that can be confused with damage in the pile and, therefore, should be taken into account to analyze the tests results. In this research, the influence of the reinforcement embedded in the piles is analyzed using numerical (FEM) simulations and comparing them with tests made in the field. A new classification of possible damages is proposed based on the analysis of the reflections observed at the end of the reinforcement cage embedded in a pile partially reinforced.

A new system for antegrade removal of fractured femoral stems, the Anspach Extractor III®, is described. A conical hole is made in the fracture surface of the stem with a high speed drill. An extractor rod is then fixed into the hole with a malleable sleeve. We have used the system in eight cases of a broken Charnley stem and removed the distal hip in 6 cases without problems. 2 cases were unsuccessful and needed femoral fenestration for retrograde removal. This system is easy to use and we have found it to shorten operation time in case of broken stem revision.

Academic Study

Since the period between May, 1955, and December, 1956, when the Hindus of India lost their system of “personal law”, and the latter was replaced by a new system comprised in the so-called “Hindu Code”, the Sanskrit books which contain the accumulated learning of the dharmaśāstra, or so much of the ancient Indian “science of religious-and-civil law” as survives the ravages of time and the neglect of private owners of manuscripts, have ceased to be the fundamental source of Hindu law, and it is only in marginal contexts that for practical purposes reference to them will ever again be made in that country. Yet the relegation of their ancient learning to practical uselessness may be expected to have a beneficial effect on the study of the dharmaśāstra itself, and that literature, which has been widely neglected in all continents, may once again receive the volume of attention which it could command about eighty years ago. About that time it was still very doubtful what the śāstra had to say on topics of practical importance, and Bühler and Jolly, for example, could be sure that their researches, despite their predilection for the ancient and the “original”, would be of use in the Courts in addition to providing material for academic exercises. By the end of the first decade of this century it was evident that at least as far as British India was concerned the law was about to develop along lines which were to a certain extent incompatible with the śāstra, and the relation of academic study to practical advocacy became intolerably delicate.
