Engineering for disassembly of waste products is becoming increasingly complex. Furthermore, customer expectations are growing, competition is becoming harder, legal requirements are stricter and the quality of technical products is continuously improving. FMEA is a formalised, analytical method for the systematic, consistent collation and prevention of potential sources of errors and their res...

layer The Information Models in the abstract layer hold the fundamental modeling concepts, which are independent of a particular problem or domain and can therefore be universally applied. They describe the design guidelines (design pattern) for the construction of the other sub models in the DIM. Models like n-ary relationship, part-whole relationship, graph model and system model belong to th...

Purpose – This paper aims to develop path-planning techniques that support a general selective disassembly planner in a virtual reality environment. Design/methodology/approach – The paper presents an automatic selective disassembly planning and two path-planning techniques that support it. The first one is based on single translations, while the second is based on the generation of a random se...

Actin-interacting protein 1 (AIP1) is a conserved WD-repeat protein that enhances actin filament disassembly only in the presence of actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, an AIP1 ortholog is encoded by the unc-78 gene that is required for organized assembly of muscle actin filaments. We produced bacterially expressed UNC-78 protein and found that it ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Reversible assembly and disassembly of nanostructures has important function in controllable construction of nanodevices. There are several methods to achieve reversible assembly/disassembly, such as pH, temperature, DNA hybridization and so on. Among these methods, pH driven reversible assembly presents superiority due to its ease-of-use and no waste produced. Herein w...

Turnover of actin networks in cells requires the fast disassembly of aging actin structures. While ADF/cofilin and Aip1 have been identified as central players, how their activities are modulated by the architecture of the networks remains unknown. Using our ability to reconstitute a diverse array of cellular actin organizations, we found that ADF/cofilin binding and ADF/cofilin-mediated disass...

Despite their contributions to the financial efficiency and environmental sustainability of industrial processes, robotic assembly disassembly have been understudied in existing literature. This is contradiction importance realizing Fourth Industrial Revolution. More specifically, although most literature has extensively discussed how optimally assemble or disassemble given products, role other...
