Offline Programming For Short Batch Robotic Welding, Nathan Larkin, Aleksandar Milojevic, Zengxi Pan, Joseph Polden, John Norrish Oct 2013

Offline Programming For Short Batch Robotic Welding, Nathan Larkin, Aleksandar Milojevic, Zengxi Pan, Joseph Polden, John Norrish

zengxi pan

Robotics based automation has many advantages over both manual operation and dedicated hard automation. In practice however the robot programming overhead and high cost of dedicated jigging are serious impediments to its use for short production runs. Offline programming packages offer an attractive alternative to reduce programming time and robot down time, however many of the available packages are fairly complex and treat the geometric programming and welding operation separately. The paper will describe the development of alternative approaches and the evaluation of an integrated offline robotic welding package (RinasWeld) which addresses these issues and makes low volume robotic welding …

Analysis Of Readex's Serial Set Marc Records: Improving The Data For The Library Catalog, Daniel C. Draper, Naomi Lederer Dec 2012

Analysis Of Readex's Serial Set Marc Records: Improving The Data For The Library Catalog, Daniel C. Draper, Naomi Lederer

Daniel Draper

Colorado State University Libraries (CSUL) purchased the digitized United States Congressional Serial Set, 1817–1994 and American State Papers (1789–1838) from the Readex Division of NewsBank, Inc. and, once
funds and records were available, the accompanying MARC records. The breadth of information found in the Serial Set is described, along with the difficulties in using the print version (incorporated in the literature review, which includes citations of announcements of the digital collections and reviews of the software). The digital version of the Serial Set has its advantages, but there are additional rewards (much greater discovery opportunities) when items in the digital …

Numerical Investigation Of A Reaction In A Batch Reactor: Flammability Limits, M. J Sexton, Harvinder Sidhu, Mark Nelson Jan 2002

Numerical Investigation Of A Reaction In A Batch Reactor: Flammability Limits, M. J Sexton, Harvinder Sidhu, Mark Nelson

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

We study the spatial behaviour of the hydrogen-chlorine reaction in a batch reactor. The solutions exhibit regimes of slow and fast reaction. The main aim of this work is to distinguish between flaming and non-flaming mixtures from the numerical solutions. After setting out a practical criterion for flammability, we construct diagrams in parameter space which display the regions in which the reaction mixture is flammable.
