If electrons had an electric dipole moment (EDM) they would induce EDMs of atoms. The ratio of the atomic EDM to the electron EDM for a particular atom is called the enhancement factor, R. We calculate the enhancement factor for the francium and gold atoms, with the results 910± ∼ 5% for Fr and 260± ∼ 15% for Au. The large values of these enhancement factors make these atoms attractive for elec...

The Surveyor General of New South Wales is a verifying authority under the National Measurement Act 1960 and responsible for ensuring that surveyors use verified measuring equipment. According to the Surveying and Spatial Information Regulation 2012, surveyors are required to verify their Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) equipment in relation to an Australian standard of measurement of len...

Although several self-indexes for highly repetitive text collections exist, developing an index and search algorithm with editing operations remains a challenge. Edit distance with moves (EDM) is a string-to-string distance measure that includes substring moves in addition to ordinal editing operations to turn one string into another. Although the problem of computing EDM is intractable, it has...

Micro-electrical discharge machining is an evolution of conventional EDM used for fabricating three-dimensional complex micro-components and microstructures with high precision capabilities. The material removal process has stochastic nature and is still not fully understood. This paper presents experimental results on observing the material removal rate (MRR) in dependence of alternating machi...

A Design Adaptation System for machining in toolmaking (DASMT) is proposed in order to avoid the knowledge gap between product and tool designers. The focus of the presented paper on the development of the Design Adaptation System for EDM (DAS-EDM). This system helps the designer to check the viability of individual features to their machinability by EDM process. The system reveals features, wh...
