A simple way of making elastic tubes using a mechanical lathe for precise control of the wall thickness is proposed in this study. These tubes are particularly useful for modeling properties of large arteries. Tubes with different geometric parameters and hence different elastic behavior have been made with a silicon elastomer (Rhodorsil RTV 1556). They have been created to be used for complian...

Recent reports have shown that bilirubin can be esterified in vivo to form a variety of acyl glycosides (Kuenzle, 1970; Heirwegh, Van Hees, Leroy, Van Roy & Jansen, 1970). The question as to whether these conjugates are present in bile as monoconjugates as well as diconjugates remains in doubt. Indirect evidence for the existence of bilirubin monoglucuronide, based on the estimation of the mola...

The Limited Receptive Area (LIRA) neural classifier is proposed for texture recognition of mechanically treated metal surfaces. It can be used in systems that have to recognize position and orientation of complex work pieces in the task of assembly of micromechanical devices. The performance of the proposed classifier was tested on specially created image database in recognition of four texture...

A toolsetter developed occupational asthma due to the oil mist generated by his lathe on which it was used as a coolant. The diagnosis was confirmed by serial measurements of peak expiratory flow at home and work, including a prolonged period away from work. Occupational type bronchial provocation tests were performed using the whole emulsified oil and its components separately. He reacted spec...

This paper demonstrates that the optical testing of diamondturned surfaces is best accomplished by interferometry and not by tests which measure wavefront slope. Certain conditions regarding the interferometer configuration must be met in order to generate meaningful and accurate interferograms. A 40 cm diamete¡ aperture modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer mounted directly on the diamond-turni...

This paper presents a new programming approach based on a proposed hardware and control architecture for the reconfigurable manufacturing tool machine. A new CAM is described based on virtual machining algorithm that optimizes feedrate scheduling based on geometric simulation and aims to improve the efficiency of cutting process developed using a reconfigurable machine, configured as lathe with...

In industrial production systems, including the most important factors in the economic field machining operations, reduce tool wear due to abrasive nature of the phenomenon on many factors, including temperature Lathe tool, influences, machining conditions (cutting speed, speed losses, forcing to rebuild parts of the manufacturing tolerances disassemble tool wear is caused by the phenomenon, as...
