Title of Dissertation: ALGORITHMS FOR GENERATING MULTI-STAGE MOLDING PLANS FOR ARTICULATED ASSEMBLIES Alok K. Priyadarshi, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Satyandra K. Gupta Department of Mechanical Engineering Plastic products such as toys with articulated arms, legs, and heads are traditionally produced by first molding individual components separately...

This paper discusses the research of optimal process for lightguiding plate of backlight module of liquid crystal display. The PMMA material was used on lightguiding plate. This paper indicates that the different processing parameters (mold temperature, injection temperature, first period injection speed, second period injection speed, third period injection speed, packing pressure and packing ...

in the recent years, considerable attention has been allocated in the area of using natural preservatives in foods, especially vegetable oils.  starch foams prepared from high amylose starch are useful for encapsulation of substances such as chemicals, liquids or solids, including flavor compounds, pharmaceuticals and essential oils. the foams have the ability to trap the active material and su...

Mold steels lead the production of products used in all areas our lives. Performing machinability tests these materials with finite element method (FEM) provides cost and time savings. In addition, it to get away from physical experiments that provide high power consumption. Because consumption must be eliminated order ensure a sustainable clean production. this study, AISI P20 mold steel was m...

The ASTM F-75 (Co-28%Cr-6%Mo) is widely used as a biocompatible alloy in medicinefor manufacturing implants. In this study, effect of mold preheating on the as-cast microstructure of thealloy was investigated using the solid investment casting process. Several mold preheating temperaturesof 550, 700, 850 and 1000 °C were selected at the same melt superheat. The samples were characterizedby opti...

A thermomechanical study of the effects of mold topography on the solidification of Aluminum alloys at early times is provided. The various coupling mechanisms between the solid-shell and mold deformation and heat transfer at the mold/solid-shell interface during the early stages of Aluminum solidification on molds with uneven topographies are investigated. The air-gap nucleation time, the stre...

Clostridium tyrobutyricum is considered the main agent of late-blowing defect in the production of hard cheese. Here, we described the draft genome sequences and annotation of C. tyrobutyricum strain UC7086, which was isolated from Grana Padano cheese with blowing defect, and C. tyrobutyricum DSM 2637 type strain in a comparative study.

Here we present an alternative, new, unconventional lithographic technique developed to create dense and multilevel nanostructure pattern transfer using a highly accurate polyurethane acrylate (PU, MINS101m, Minuta Tech.) mold and a polyelectrolyte multilayer as the adhesion promotion layer. Specifically, we demonstrate the pattern transfer of periodic 80 nm lines with 400 nm height and complex...

The basis for some common gypsum wallboard mold remediation practices was examined. The bottom inch of several gypsum wallboard panels was immersed in bottled drinking water; some panels were coated and others were untreated. The panels were examined and tested for a period of 8 weeks. This study investigated: (a) whether mold growth, detectable visually or with tape lift samples, occurs within...
