Assemblability analysis and evaluation play a key role in assembly design, assembly operation analysis and assembly planning. This paper proposes an integrated approach to assemblability analysis and evaluation for STEP-based (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data, officially ISO 10303) electro-mechanical products. In the paper, two assembly representation models are first brought up ...

The deterministic behaviour of a sequential self-assembling system may be expressed in the form of an algorithm that predicts the products of self-assembly at any ratio of input subcomponents.

We report here the 2,576,542-bp genome annotated draft assembly sequence of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 1AA59. This strain-isolated from a traditional cheese-produces putrescine, one of the most frequently biogenic amines found in dairy products.

The flexibility of sheet metal assembly processes is one of the most critical issues in the design stage of assembly systems. Currently in the automotive industry, flexibility and adaptability of assembly systems are mainly considered as the capability to assemble a family of products. The notion of assembly system flexibility, as understood from the point of view of error compensation by upstr...

Handheld portable products such as smartphones are trending toward smaller form factors while simultaneously increasing in functionality to keep up with consumer demands. This is achieved in part by decreasing the size of components and increasing the density of the circuitry. These unique product needs drive different Design for Manufacturing (DFM) recommendations than those that are in use fo...

The UL17 protein of herpes simplex virus type 1 is essential for packaging the viral genome into the procapsid, a spherical assembly intermediate, and is present in the mature virus particle. We have examined the distribution of UL17 in various assembly products and virions to determine which component of the virus particle UL17 is associated with and at what stage in capsid assembly UL17 is re...

A mechanical assembly is a composition of interrelated parts. Assembly data base stores the geometric models of individual parts, the spatial positions and orientations of the parts in the assembly, and the relationships between parts. An assembly of parts can be represented by its liaison which has a description of its relationships between the various parts in the assembly. The problem is to ...

Stress granule (SG) formation is a host cell response to stress-induced translational repression. SGs assemble with RNA-binding proteins and translationally silent mRNA. have been demonstrated be both inhibitory viruses, as well being subverted for viral roles. In contrast, the function of during non-viral microbial infections remains largely unexplored. A handful shown result in SG assembly. N...

In this era of product customization, the optimal usage of resources especially the available facilities and operators who are adding the value to the product is important. When the main production system needs to produce a large variety of products, the cost must be kept at minimum. Therefore the assembly line has to be planned in a much more flexible way. The present work deals with the optim...

As circuit densities continue their increase, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) augments traditional test methods for assuring quality of electronic assemblies. AOI is particularly helpful in assembly lines where both sides of a board are reflowed. This most modern style of construction leads to products of unprecedented density, but also brings us difficulties with in-circuit fixturing. The l...
