The Effects Of Motor Carrier Deregulation, Michael J. Scannell

Theses

The Motor Carrier Deregulation Act was brought about by consumer groups that created pressure on Congress to deregulate several protected industries. The airline, telephone, and motor carrier industries that were regulated or governed by Federal Departments were deregulated approximately at the sane time due to the national consumerism of the late 1970's.

The Motor Carrier Deregulation Act appears to have been successful on the surface by lowering the price of transportation; however, in reality it has had a negative impact in certain smaller communities where the lack of service and higher cost has deterred future growth of the community. Smaller …

Leading The Electronics Industry Into Total Automation, George P. Rossi

Theses

The introduction of an automated PCB facility in today's technological society still includes a people-oriented facility. The main thrust should be to develop Artificial Intelligence, then the incorporation of LANS, CAD, ICAM, and CIM.

The ability to lace all the functions together is by far the biggest obstacle. The hardware of the equipment is not so much the obstacle to the chemical process and knowledge as the software. Software, which is the capability to talk from the computer to the equipment, is the greatest stumbling block because there is no standardization in the language format.

The method which a computer …
