Design And Manufacture

This article examines Cloud-based Design and Manufacturing from a critical standpoint (CBDM). Cloud technology has lately found its way into the realm of computer-assisted product creation. Corporations could explore substituting existing own CAD software licences with Design software as a cloud - based service as the first part of implementation. Installing a CAD program via the cloud on a carrier's server and incurring a miniscule proportion of the initial licensing price on a pay-per-use basis is definitely tempting. Furthermore, time and money-consuming software upgrades and operational issues are no longer an issue. We provide an introduction of cloud technology and the intrinsic features that drive its usage in both the business and education domains for dispersed and interactive design and production. Cloud Technology is a hotly debated Information Technology (IT) model that is expected to have a major effect on how businesses are run in the future. While cloud technology was first proposed in the late 60s, it was only recently that it became a viable part of day-to-day IT systems, thanks to the Internet's increasing prevalence and other modern improvements in information communication technology (ICT).

Design And Manufacture

This presentation describes the design and manufacture of a computer controlled x-ray scanning system for the fully automated inspection of waste for hazardous materials. Of particular importance was the necessity to accurately detect various sizes of propane tanks and large heavy metal objects. In addition, rejects had to be accurately identified and each image saved for archival requirements. The equipment utilized, material handling, software development and implementation is detailed herein. The problems of establishing a stable image in a harsh environment required ruggedizing all of the components as well as positive pressure air delivery and air conditioning of the computer and related electronic enclosures. The use of commercially available equipment and latest detector technology were utilized as much as possible to reduce costs and to provide a reliable low maintenance system that also included the ability to conduct diagnostics and software upgrades remotely via computer.

<p>It is the aim for most EFL learners to have a clear pronunciation in English; however, pronunciation training has always been a challenge for EFL teachers and learners alike. The advent of Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) seems to be the solution to this problem. This longitudinal study adopted a latent growth curve to describe 30 EFL learner’s (N = 30) development of imitated pronunciation in English as well as their satisfaction regarding CAPT. These 30 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (N = 18) and control group (N = 12). There were no significant differences among the participants in their pronunciation of English or attitudes toward CAPT at the beginning of this study. After 16 months of training, the growth curve analysis showed that participants in the CAPT group made significantly greater development in English pronunciation, and they were more satisfied with the CAPT. The large effect size indicated that the grouping was the major effect that led to a significant difference in satisfaction. Moreover, the qualitative data derived from focus-group interviews confirmed the benefits of CAPT in participant’s pronunciation training. These findings suggest that EFL learner’s opportunities to conduct elicited imitation with the help of ASR-CAPT will be helpful for their development of imitated pronunciation in English and increase their satisfaction of it, which is a key aspect in the effectiveness of pronunciation training. </p>

Collaborative design is a new method for mechanical design and manufacture, how to improve the ability of design is the point problem. Data translation is a key problem for collaborative e design. In the paper, the problem of data translation is solved. Different design software for designer can complete the same task, which is based on the data transition and translation. The XML style of data is established, which is applied to express the relationship of data. The XML to STEP style is presented for system. Data can be transmitted among different software. The integration of system is established. At last, a prototype system is presented to demonstrate the methodology.

This qualitative study was carried out in five different elementary schools in the Czech Republic. It aimed to investigate how English as Foreign Language teachers developed teaching competence and practised information communication technology integration in classroom teaching. To this end, this study employed the idea of a Technology Pedagogy and Content Knowledge –TPACK -in-Action Model. It advocates a ‘learning by doing’ approach on (social) construction to better understand how teachers develop technological and/or computer-assisted language learning competency for teaching and practice in an English as a Foreign Language environment. Under this model, this study conducted qualitative analysis and found two different approaches in practice, which were categorised as Formal Practice and Functional Practice. The former involved a conservative mechanical practice of technology use in language teaching whereas the latter involved it in terms of (social) construction. According to analyses based on conservative practices, teachers expressed that mechanical TPACK in association with technology in classes limited the transmission of mechanical knowledge from English texts. In Functional Practice, however, teachers drawing upon alternative learning interactions expressed positive transformation results from TPACK, associated with the use of technologies integrated into class instructions as a collaborative tool for learning models. In these latter integrated practices, teachers’ perceptions, practices, and reflections in combining technologies in an English as a Foreign Language environment, as new literacy skills, identified an increase in the learner’s creative potential.

Limit Access

In this era of digital technology, time and place no longer limit access to information, communication, and learning. Following the trend and popularity of CALL (Computer-assisted Language Learning), MALL (Mobile-assisted Language Learning) is gaining increasing attention and application. Many teachers as well as language learners turn to these mobile devices for various language learning purposes due to easy access to resources, convenience, and less language anxiety. Despite the comprehensive functions and sophisticated devices, a high percentage of learners still lag behind and even give up the apps after some time of use. Some research shows that the unsuccessful learners’ lack of motivation constitutes a major hinderance in their self-regulated learning. This study tries to analyze an important component in learners’ motivation, that is self-efficacy (especially computer self-efficacy), and seek for good solutions to the current problems.

The design of the conjugate cams was analyzed in this paper, and the calculation process of conjugate cams profile data to meet the pressure angle and the curvature radius was introduced in detail. With VB as the software platform, the curves data of the conjugate cams were designed and calculated, the curves were also displayed on the platform. Base on the designing platform, the motion parameter of the followers, such as displacement, velocity and acceleration, could be achieved and saved in the certain format. The parameterization design and motion analysis were also could be performed to help the designer to find the mistakes, such as the rotation difficulty caused by excessive pressure angle, the motion distortion and overcut during machining caused by small radius of curvature. So the mistakes could be corrected and the product developing cycle could be shortened. The system could accomplish the information transmission and information sharing among the subsystems and enhanced the integration and automation of the conjugate cam design and manufacture. It also could be taken as platform for designing, manufacturing and performance researching of the conjugate cams. Finally, the example of the moving platform die-cutting mechanism in an automatic die-cutting machine verified the usability and effectiveness of the software platform.
