Background research Artificial limbs (arms and legs) or the prostheses are intended to perform the degree of the normal function to the amputees. The mechanical devices enable the amputees to walk or to continue using the hand(s) as normal. According to research, artificial limbs date back in 600 BC when armorers created the first prostheses using cumbersome and inflexible iron. Artificial hands intricate imitations of the real hands. Amputees themselves started making their limps after losing such parts. Research shows some amputees lost arms and legs during civil wars and accidents. Indeed, the twentieth century has seen ...

The term recycling refers to the process of changing waste materials into usable, new products, thus, preventing the wastage of useful materials. It leads to the reduction in the consumption of fresh raw materials, usage of energy, water pollution, and air pollution. It obviates the need for conventional waste disposal, and the greenhouse gas emission is far less than fresh production of the product. There are several materials and wastes that can be recycled including plastics and others. Modern waste management includes recycling as a key component and is the third aspect of waste management hierarchy which includes Reduce, Reuse, ...

Body armor, not a new phenomenon, has been progressively used by security and military forces to mitigate serious injuries during their professional activities. Soft body armor and hard body armor design became more effective against projectiles and stabbing, and light in weight for the comfort of wearers’ activities. Originally developed by the Japanese, soft body armor is constructed of woven or ballistic resistant fabrics and can surpass 30 layers. In 1970s, the manufacture of Kevlar® was sponsored by the National Institute of Justice. Modern hard body armor is much lighter and effective since it has a large amount of new generation ...

Students who adhere to rules and regulations are comfortable with the school situation, and they eventually succeed out of perseverance. Such people get the best from the society and other institutions in the society. Students presenting ...

Analysis of system diagram

Linear actuators favor movement of an object in an exact straight line. Now let us discuss about the system diagram of a simple molding machine. The simple machine has three linear actuators one being used for opening and closing of mould, the second being used for the barrel movement, the third for injecting polymers. Fig1.1 represents the block diagram of a simple molding machine. As mentioned before, it has three linear actuators. The linear actuator1 as shown in fig1.1 controls the opening and closing of the mould. Once the mould is closed, the barrel can be moved forward or backward. ...

REVIEW OF THE CURRENT SITUATION

For the last two months, we have had a slow creep-up of order backlog in the MLD250 department, specifically the Plasti-Brack molding group. We now have a 5 to 6 week backlog. This is entirely unacceptable to our customers who have been accustomed to getting orders shipped almost immediately or within a week of placing their orders. This may have a negative bearing on the business and it is with great concern and swiftness that this be sorted out. This report will seek to identify the problem areas and the possible solutions to this problem in order to reduce and gradually eliminate the ...

Introduction

Composites are mixtures of at least two materials, such as reinforcing elements, fillers, and composite matrix binder. Compared to concrete and timber, composites are relatively lightweight. Different composites differ in form and/or composition on a macroscopic scale. Each component retainsits identity and does not dissolve or merge completely into one another. Composites are not generally used as fibres by themselves. They are often impregnated with a matrix material that transfers loads to the fibresand protects the fibres from abrasion and environmental attack. The useful properties of composites are diminished by the matrix to some extent but not fully. Thermoset ...

Introduction

Proper selection of the material and manufacturing process to be used for a given application is crucial to the success of the manufacturing process. Material selection should be based on material suitability and the possibility of modifying the material to make it suitable for the application while the selection of the manufacturing process should be based on the material selected, the shape required, dimensions of the item being manufactured and the cost of production. A product design specification (PDS) is a crucial element of design that outlines the design and operating requirements and, therefore, facilitates the selection of suitable materials. This ...

Sociology is the analysis of human behavior and social phenomena mainly conducted through research. It covers themes ranging from religion, law, culture to social class. Family is the basic unit in society, carrying out the most important functions and its members are closely related through blood, ancestry, adoption or the marriage bond.

Feminists and Marxists have often argued against the notion that the family is a beneficial institution to society, citing negative ...

Students at Yale University have recently developed a metallic material that increases the physical toughness of a metal, durability, and malleability. The new developed metallic material is known as Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG). The students attribute the success of developing this metallic material as being similar to the discovery of synthetic plastics in the past century. This is because the development of this new metallic substance has allowed them to mold metal into different shapes. Some of the things that they have been able to create using the new discovered BMG’s include metallic bottles, the cases used in the making ...
