Unfortunately at times this approach may result in that the initial choice of performance boundary/requirements is too restrictive. In order to analyze a given engineering system fully it may be necessary to expand the performance boundaries to include other sub-performance systems that strongly affect the operation of the model under study. As an example, a manufacturer finishes products that are mounted on an assembly line and decorate. In an initial study of the secondary decorating operation one may consider it separate from the rest of the assembly line. However, one may find that the optimal batch size and method of attachment sequence are strongly influenced by the operation of the RP fabrication department that produces the fabricated products (as an example problems of contaminated surface and other detriments in the product could interfere with applying the decoration). 

Routing Files. Router files and the respective router cutting tools have to be archived and available for download to the appropriate routing machine when production needs them. Router tool preparation precedes the actual routing or secondary drUhng operation in order to create the final fabrication cassette. 

Secondary carbides precipitate as the result of thermal exposures during fabrication operations or during component service life. These carbides precipitate preferentially at grain boundaries and internal structural defects such as twin boundaries and dislocations. The quantity of secondary carbides that precipitate depends on the amount of carbon in solutions, the exposure temperature, and the time at such temperature. Therefore, conditions that generate a supersaturated solution of carbon followed by slow cooling or thermal arrests below carbide solvus temperatures will produce heavy secondary carbide precipitation, which generally reduces ductility and toughness, and this adversely affects fabrication and service performance. 

Last but not least, two epoch-marking technologies have been successfully implemented in 1989 and 1994 active optics, with the 3.5 m ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT), and segmentation, with the 10 m Keck. In the former, real-time adjustments of the primary mirror support forces and of the alignment of the secondary mirror guarantee consistent, optimal performance, and allow relaxation of opto-mechanical fabrication tolerances. These adjustments being derived from wavefront analysis of off-axis stellar sources located outside the scientihc held of view, imply minimal operational overheads at the beneht of reliable, substantial performance improvement... 

Ion conducting polymers may be preferable in these devices electrolytes because of their flexibility, moldability, easy fabrication and chemical stability (for the same reasons that they have been applied to lithium secondary batteries [19,48,49]). The gel electrolyte systems, which consist of a polymeric matrix, organic solvent (plasticizer) and supporting electrolyte, show high ionic conductivity about 10 5 S cnr1 at ambient temperature and have sufficient mechanical strength [5,7,50,51], Therefore, the gel electrolyte systems are superior to solid polymer electrolytes and organic solvent-based electrolytes as batteries and capacitor materials for ambient temperature operation. 

When processing plastics some type of tooling is usually required. Tools include molds, dies, mandrels, jigs, fixtures, punch dies, perforated forms, etc. The terms for tools are virtually synonymous in the sense that they have some type of female and/or negative cavity into or through which a molten plastic moves usually under heat and pressure or they are used in secondary operations such as cutting dies, stamping sheet dies, etc. These tools fabricate or shape products. In this chapter injection molds and extrusion dies are primarily reviewed because they represent over 95% of all tools made for the plastic industry. This chapter also includes information applicable to other molds and dies used in the other processes some of the other chapters too provide information applicable to their tools.
