A salesman in a red suit who looks suspiciously like Tom Waits presents you with a black steel box with n binary switches on the front and a light bulb on the top. The salesman tells you that the state of the light bulb is controlled by a complex boolean circuit—a collection of AND, OR, and NOT gates connected by wires, with one input wire for each switch and a single output wire for the light ...

Deep drawing process is one of the widely used methods in sheet-metal forming. With the deep drawing method, products of various geometrical shapes such as saucepans, tubes, perfume and soft drink cans can be obtained easily. Therefore, the optimization of the deep drawing process is very important for the industry. In conventional deep drawing method, no angle is given to the surfaces of die a...

The technology to grow single crystals of the required shape directly from a melt has been researched extensively and developed in various industries research fields. In this study, micro-pulling-down method Mo crucible were applied shape-controlled crystal growth Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce). Three types crucibles with different die shapes developed. Stable more than 50 mm length was achieved same as ...

We designed a 24-field array and an on-line control box that selects which and how many of 24 fields will conduct electrical charge during functional electrical stimulation. The array was made using a conductive microfiber textile, silver two-component adhesive, and the conductive ink imprint on the polycarbonate. The control box comprised 24 switches that corresponded one-to-one to the fields ...

Deformation behaviour during loading and unloading is studied in compression of an aluminium plate with a high ratio between the diameter thickness by DLC coated die. A compressed becomes thinner after to larger reduction loading. The plastic deformation confirmed measuring increase unloading. optimum profile die crown approaches reverse shape elastic deflection flat at stroke end increasing th...

In many problems in commonsense reasoning and intelligent manufacturing, we need to reason about cutting, joining, and folding sheets of materials such as cardboard and metal. In this paper we introduce a first-order ontology of shape (called BoxWorld) that can support these applications. We reuse an existing ontology of shape for object recognition with 2D shapes (called CardWorld) and extend ...

Linear Programming based lower bounds have been considered both for the general as well as for the symmetric quadratic assignment problem several times in the recent years. Their quality has turned out to be quite good in practice. Investigations of the polytopes underlying the corresponding integer linear programming formulations (the non-symmetric and the symmetric quadratic assignment polyto...

Mental files theory explains why children pass many perspective taking tasks like the false belief test around age 4 (Perner & Leahy, 2016). It also explains why older children struggle to understand that beliefs about an object depend on how one is acquainted with it (intensionality or aspectuality). If Heinz looks at an object that is both a die and an eraser, but cannot tell by looking that ...

die erlebnislyrik umfasst die gedichte, in denen es um die erinnerung eines lyrischen ichs an ein geschehen geht, wobei mit dem gedichtschreiben ein erinnerungsvorgang in gang gesetzt wird, der einen bezug zwischen dem erlebenden ich und dem geschehen schafft und damit ein unmittelbares erleben erzeugt. die speziellen mittel der lyrik wie reim, rhythmik, klang, melodie, wiederholung, bildsprach...

W over 500,000 women and girls die of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth each year. Over 99 percent of those deaths occur in developing countries such as Egypt. But maternal deaths only tell part of the story. For every woman or girl who dies as a result of pregnancy-related causes, between 20 and 30 more will develop shortand long-term disabilities, such as obstetric fistula, a ...
