Lighting is one of the most important requirements a building. This because inadequate lighting space can affect health and comfort activities in that space. In addition to less lighting, room temperature adjustments, adjustments have significant impact on during room. magazine describes control design CilacapState Polytechnic Welder Shop. The method used this study quantitative method. calcula...

A new method for analyzing time series data is introduced in this paper. Inspired by data mining, the new method employs time-delayed embedding and identifies temporal patterns in the resulting phase spaces. An optimization method is applied to search the phase spaces for optimal heterogeneous temporal pattern clusters that reveal hidden temporal patterns, which are characteristic and predictiv...

Although great strides continue to be made in the research community, the flexibility and judgment of a human welder has yet to be transferred successfully to a mechanical system. Automatic and robotic welding systems are capable of preprogrammed control of the welding parameters and manipulation of the welding torch motion and orientation. Recently, vision-based systems designed for tracking t...

This study aims to calculate the resistance spot welding current digitally at a fast speed. The conventional open-loop spot welding machine cannot measure the current, thus the welding quality varies. The welding time of spot welder is very short, but the welding current is strong and it is hard to be measured, thereby resulting in the uncontrollability of welding quality. This study uses a hig...

We report on the construction and development of a broad‐spectrum vibrothermography (Sonic IR) measurement system at the Center for NDE. The new system uses a broadband actuator instead of an ultrasonic welder to generate vibration and induce heating of cracks. A high‐resolution infrared camera captures the IR signature of a crack, and a reconfigurable data acquisition software system acquires ...

A 58 year old welder was treated for oat cell carcinoma of the bronchus on a general medical ward, with a combination of Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide and Etoposide. Within two weeks he had developed drug induced bone marrow suppression and subtotal alopecia, sparing only his eyelashes, eyebrows and nipple hair. He subsequently contracted pediculo-sis in these areas, which could not be isolated ...

A recent $1 million award by an Illinois jury to a welder was the first plaintiff victory in a welding rod failure-to-warn suit and many similar cases are expected to follow. In the case of Elam v. AO Smith et. al., the jury concluded that the manganese in welding fumes caused a 65-year old worker to develop a neurological disorder similar to Parkinson’s disease (i.e., Manganism). Since there a...

QuickBird satellite imagery was evaluated for differentiating among rangeland cover types on the Welder Wildlife Refuge in south Texas. The satellite imagery had a spatial resolution of 2.8 m and contained 11-bit data. Four subsets of the satellite image were extracted and used as study sites. Field spectral measurements made among the dominant vegetation types showed significant differences in...

BACKGROUND Metal fume fever (MFF) is a well-known complication of zinc oxide fume inhalation. Prompt recognition of this condition is essential for the proper medical management of this self-limited disease. AIM To present a unique and unusual case of MFF. RESULTS Our patient is a 25-year-old male welder who had MFF and presented with aseptic meningitis with pericarditis, pleuritis and pneu...

all living organisms are exposed to ionizing radiation comprising cosmic rays coming from outer space, terrestrial nuclides occurring in the earth’s crust, building materials, air, water and foods and in the human body itself. the exposures are constant and uniform for all individuals everywhere including the dose from ingestion of 40k in food. cosmic rays are, more intense at higher altitudes,...
