Special Purpose Tools

Some instruments come with special tools for adjustment or routine maintenance. These should normally be kept with their instruments for ready access. Using them for other purposes in other locations should be discouraged. In an educational laboratory, such tools should be labeled and kept in the stockroom unless absolutely needed dining routine work.

Design and validation of special-purpose tools and equipment... 

The standard requires that when there is a servicing agreement with the customer, the supplier verifies the effectiveness ofang supplier service centers, special-purpose tools, and training of servicing personnel. 

Finally, the poljmier is processed in an extruder, where polymer properties (such as the chain length distribution) are adjusted by means of a sequence of different functional zones of the extruder. Further modifications of the polymer properties can be achieved by adding additives to the polymer melt. The extrusion step can be simulated by a special purpose tool called MOREX [146, 394]. Given geometry data of the extruder, it calculates the required energy demand and the properties of the resulting polymer. In addition, it can be used to calculate the vapor stream of -caprolactam which can be stripped of if a considerable amount of e-caprolactam is present in the polymer melt. 

Groups P and L are mold and special purpose tool steels, respectively, and have niche applications. 

Use special-purpose tools that facilitate fitting the task to the worker (avoid standard off the-shelf tools for specific repetitive operations). 

Mold tool steels P These are special-purpose tool steels containing chromium and nickel as major alloying elements. They exhibit low hardness and low resistance to work hardening when annealed. 

Define the special tools, processing equipment, jigs, fixtures, and other equipment required to produce the product. (General-purpose tools and equipment need not be specified because your staff should be trained to select the right tool for the job.)... 

It must be noted that the real-time aspect is important because tools are changed in the magazines of machines (or cells), not only because they wear, but also because different part programs may need different sets of tools. (The actual tool-changing operation is done in most cases by manipulators or by robots. The tool magazine loading/unloading procedure is performed mostly by human operators, sometimes by robots or special-purpose mechanisms, such as a tool shuttle.)... 

Compatibility Not all commercial software packages are compatible with each other. Although many vendors provide tools to convert between structure formats, there might be information losses when the conversion takes place. You probably have to stick with one vendor for your entire system or at least most of the system. However, it is still possible to pick other vendors for some special purposes.

The Poor Man s Armorer is oriented to responsible adults who wish to make,modify, and use all types of weapons. Conventiona1 hunting/survival tools and exotic special purpose weapons will be covered.All procedures described will be as practical and inexpensive as possible. 

Expert systems can be developed using either conventional computer languages, special purpose languages, or with the assistance of development shells or tool-kits. Conventional languages such as PASCAL and C have the advantages of wide applicability and full flexibility to create the control and inferencing strategies required. They also are well supported and easy to customize. However, considerable amounts of time and effort are needed to create the basic facilities. 

There are two types of alloys. In a substitutional alloy, some of the metal atoms in a crystal lattice are replaced by other atoms (usually of comparable size). Examples are brass, in which approximately one third of the atoms in a copper crystal are replaced by zinc atoms, and pewter, an alloy of tin that contains 7% copper, 6% bismuth, and 2% antimony. In an interstitial alloy, atoms of one or more additional elements enter the interstitial sites of the host metal lattice. An example is steel, in which carbon atoms occupy interstitial sites of an iron crystal, making the material stronger and harder than pure iron. Mild steel contains less than 0.2% C and is used for nails, whereas high-carbon steels can contain up to 1.5% C and are used in specialty applications such as tools and springs. Alloy steels are both substitutional and interstitial atoms from metals such as chromium and vanadium substitute for iron atoms, with carbon remaining in interstitial sites. Alloy steels have a variety of specialized purposes, ranging from cutlery to bicycle frames.
