Custom molds

Figure 15-7 Neural networks provide ultimate freedom of discrimination, with the additional danger of overfitting a solution.The curved line separating the two populations for this specific set of data may not work well in a subsequent sample since it is custom molded to separate this test set.

Figure 2 The vibration readings show the acceleration (g s) measured at the foundation near the right front foot of a 300-ton punch press. The upper reading shows the foundation vibration when the machine was installed on 1 -in.-thick felt pads. The lower graph shows the reduced foundation vibration when the felt was replaced with custom-molded elastomeric leveling isolators.

Custom molder (Brit trade molder) n. A firm specializing in the molding of items or components to the specifications o another firm that handles the sale and distribution of the item, or incorporates the custom-molded component into one of its own products. 

Another problem is intolerance of core temperature sensors by the wearer. Oral temperature is not very accurate and reliable for core temperature assessments. Rectal probes provide more accurate readings, but are less tolerable. A more acceptable sensor is a tympanic sensor. It has a thermistor bead or small thermocouple placed in the ear canal against or very near the eardrum and held in place by a custom-molded ear plug. Tympanic temperature closely follows changes in core temperature. The preferred readout display is a digital one. 

Plugs There are many types of ear plugs. Some are reusable. Others are disposable. There are custom molded ones derived from a mold created from the ear canal of a user. Some plugs have properties or features that adjust to the user. Plugs are more effective for high frequencies than low ones. Users will find some types of plugs more comfortable than others. 

Hearing aids that sit partially within the ear canal are self-contained and custom-molded to the ear canal, so they are not recommended for growing children. Because of the short acoustic tube that channels the amplified sound, they are prone to feedback, which makes them less than ideal for people with profound hearing loss. Newer models offer feedback cancellation features. 

Hearing aids that sit completely within the ear canal are self-contained and custom-molded. However, thin electrical wires replace the acoustic tube, so this type of hearing aid is free of feedback and sound distortion. They are not well suited for elderly people because their minimal size limits their volume capabilities.

Anderson and Walker used on-line visible/NIR spectroscopy to measure fat content of ground beef streams. Thirty blocks of frozen beef from three truckloads each of nominally 50% and 15% fat were studied. The 27-kg blocks were ground and formed into a continuous stream on a conveyor with a custom molding head attached to the grinder. A diode-array type spectrometer was used to take reflectance measurements from the stream, which moved at 1.0 m/min. Measurements were made each 3.3 cm, and samples were collected from the stream such that each sample was represented by two successive measurements. The fat content of each sample was determined by ether extraction. SEP values for the calibration and validation data sets were 1.00% to 1.68% and 2.15% to 2.28% fat, respectively. Predictions for the fat content of an entire block gave SEPs of 0.70% to 1.05% fat. The results showed that the molding head was effective and that the NIR was suitable for accurate on-line measurements (19).
