Engineering.The AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System Engineering Div. featured several panel discussions addressing such issues as lean manufacturing Lean manufacturing is the production of goods using less of everything compared to mass production: less human effort, less manufacturing space, less investment in tools, and less engineering time to develop a new product. and cost-effective tooling maintenance. A paper by T.J. Schorn, Enkei America Inc., "Assessing Mold Tooling Life," (04-016) brought forth the notion that extending tooling life can greatly benefit cost reduction strategies in permanent mold facilities, but unfortunately not enough research has addressed this issue. He made note that tooling life-extension is helpful beyond the permanent mold shop so metalcasters would he aware of how much longer their tooling can last. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Schorn, looking at reliability statistics should not be taken lightly and there is efficient and fairly inexpensive software that would help the facility personnel get the job done accurately. He concluded by stating that the benefits to life measurements significantly outweigh the obstacles to getting information about the topic. P. Cunliffe, G&W Electric Co., also discussed tooling in his presentation "Quality Inventory Tooling Management" (04-067). Cunliffe addressed how all tooling in a facility needs to be examined by competent personnel, and a plant's management staff needs to provide the resources required for the personnel to evaluate if the tooling Can meet customers' requirements. Training personnel, either through on-the-job experience or in a classroom, and giving them the needed equipment better equips them in meeting tooling demands. Cunliffe also noted that systems should be developed with the facility to handle tooling that has been out of use for a prolonged period of time. The presentation "Development of a Heat Transfer Coefficient The heat transfer coefficient is used in calculating the convection heat transfer between a moving fluid and a solid in thermodynamics. The heat transfer coefficient is often calculated from the Nusselt number (a dimensionless number). (HTC HTC HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) Component HTC High Tech Computer Corp (Taiwan, China) HTC Hennepin Technical College (Minnesota) HTC High-Throughput Computing ) Evaluator" (04-078), by P.

HTC is not a material property, but a parameter that depends on a casting's properties, and most engineers are unaware of the appropriate HTC for practical application. The development of a computerized evaluating device for finding the amount of available HTC should assist metalcasters and engineers in different applications. |
