A BRAINSTORMING MEETING

» Abstract. Among the group creation techniques, the brainstorming is relatively easy to approach and can be applied do a variety of creation topics. It is an excellent technique of joining ideas and finding original solutions.
The paper confirms the attributes specific to brainstorming, the approached topic being in itself a less conventional one: shoe with adjustable heel. There are presented and then analysed the ideas exposed by the members of the
creation group, approaching in a different manner the results of individual creative effort of the participants, presented previous to the brainstorming meeting and the ideas that came up during the meeting itself.

THE EFFECT OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION ON CAST IRON'S HARDENING CAPABILITY

» Abstract. The paper presents research about effect of chemical composition on hardening capability of cast irons used for the casting of bearing ball machining disks. Samples (of 40 mm diameter and 300 mm length) were cast from two type of cast iron, of which test pieces were extracted, specially machined for the aims of the research, to determine hardening capability. The paper describes the type of used test pieces, working conditions and presents the interpretation of the experimental results (second degree polynomial regression curves) as well as the consequent conclusions.

UPGRADING OF HYDRAULIC DIRECTION CASE FOR BROADER USE

» Abstract. The practical implementation of adaptive controllers requires consideration of various sources of uncertainties such as modeling errors, computation errors, external disturbances, unknown loads, and noise. Adaptive and robust control are concerned with the problem of maintaining precise tracking under uncertainty. We distinguish robust from adaptive control in the sense that an adaptive algorithm typically incorporates some sort of on-line parameter estimation scheme while a robust control non-adaptive scheme does not. Controllers that can handle regulation and tracking problems without the need of knowledge of the process parameters are by themselves an appealing procedure. Such control schemes belong to the class of adaptive control.

» Keywords: adaptive control, adaptive gravity compensation control

COST ANALYSIS IN MATERIALS SELECTION

» Abstract. Cost is the basis to which the above factors are reduced to reach a decision on material selection. In the technical cost modeling technique, variable and fixed costs are calculated separately. Variable costs are those costs that can be directly associated with the production of a unit of output and whose total increases roughly linearly with the total number of units produced. The material cost can be estimated as a function of the price of the raw materials, the design of the component and scrap considerations associated with the process. Essentially, the problem is one of determining the total amount of material actually required by each part, realizing that there will be material losses due to the process and part losses due to quality control.

CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE MAIN HEAT TREATMENTS APPLIED OF TITANIUM ALLOYS (2nd PART)

» Abstract. The response of titanium and titanium alloys to heat treatment depends on the composition of the metal and the effects of alloying elements on the α – β crystal transformation of titanium. In addition, not all heat-treating cycles are applicable to all titanium alloys, because the various alloys are designed for different purposes. The main objective of this paper include a general description of the characteristics of Ti alloys and the possibilities to heat treating by solution treating and aging in order to affect their mechanical behaviour which can dictate the optimal conditions under which they can be efficiently used.

» Keywords: titanium alloys, heat treatments, mechanical properties

» Abstract. Statistics and probability calculus may be used in television to characterize noise in TV channels. This paper presents the experimentally results of noise measuring at TV receiver input. The paper first introduces the most important concepts in statistics and probability, emphasizing how they apply to acquired signals and noise. The data acquisition system was used to measure various parameters of fluctuation noise at TV receiver entrance. These parameters are important in understanding the noise influence on the quality of received images. The experimentally measurements were concentrated onto determining the characteristics of the noise in UHF frequency band TV channels.
