This paper introduces a new concept of modular flexure-based mechanisms to design industrial ultra-high precision robots, which aims at significantly reducing both the complexity of their design and their development time. This modular concept can be considered as a robotic Lego, where a finite number of building bricks is used to quickly build a high-precision robot. The core of the concept is...

In this paper, a mobile scanning system for real-time under-vehicle inspection is presented, which is founded on a “Brick” architecture. In this “Brick” architecture, the inspection system is basically decomposed into bricks of three kinds: sensing, mobility, and computing. These bricks are physically and logically independent and communicate with each other by wireless communication. Each bric...

One of the key issues in e-business research is how established companies can gain competitive advantage by exploring e-business. Despite the interest in e-business applications by traditional firms, few empirical studies have been carried out to look at how ‘clicks-and-mortar’ approaches offer competitive advantages, especially from a specific industry perspective. This study investigates the ...

Although a numerous models about leadership roles are available in the literature however considering our environment and contemporary developments there was a dire need to design and propose a model which can better provide the concept of genuine roles to be played by the leaders in organizations. After going through a bulk literature and existing very famous and effective leadership models, a...

This paper looks at the design process of the WamBam; a selfcontained electronic hand-drum meant for music therapy sessions with severely intellectually disabled clients. Using coreflection with four musical therapists and literature research, design guidelines related to this specific user-group and context are formed. This leads to a concept of which the most relevant aspects are discussed, b...

The consumption of colossal quantities materials in the building industry has advanced swift depletion clean clay reserves. use organic additives brick production is conserving resources. In addition, some cases, it can lead to improvements material properties, such as decreasing thermal conductivity and increasing capacity ceramic terms insulation. present investigation, waste millet husk (WMH...

The level of generated plastic waste has awash over a billion metric tonnes this into our environment. If an effective long-lasting solution to impending disaster is not provided through recycling, reengineering, and conversion resourceful materials. Then sustainability conservation natural non-replenishable materials will be severely threatened. aims avert the consequences conserve have given ...

We describe a possible search for muonic radioactivity from lead nuclei using the base elements (“bricks” composed by lead and nuclear emulsion sheets) of the long-baseline OPERA neutrino experiment. We present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation concerning the expected event topologies and estimates of the background events. Using few bricks, we could reach a good sensitivity level.

Abstract—Coal fly ash, an industrial by product of coal combustion thermal power plants is considered as a hazardous material and its improper disposal has become an environmental issue. On the other hand, manufacturing conventional clay bricks involves on consumption of large amount of clay and leads substantial depletion of topsoil. This paper unveils the possibility of using fly ash as a par...

Clinker bricks go into excessive temperatures during the process, are waste in brick making, and tend to be unusable, but it can used as an alternative material coarse aggregate concrete mixtures. This research is about clinker which no-fines with a water-cement ratio 0.45 volume of 1:3 for 4 sample variations at different ages where mixture four 0%, 25%, 50%, 100% will tested age 7 days, 14 28...
