This document provides an overview of the concept of Kaizen, including its key principles and implementation concepts. Kaizen means continual improvement and was developed in Japan after World War 2. It is based on concepts like 5S, the PDCA cycle, quality circles, and kanban. Kaizen focuses on evaluating and improving work processes through small, ongoing changes. Its benefits include increased efficiency and employee satisfaction while reducing issues like breakdowns. Toyota is an example of a company that successfully applied kaizen principles.
This presentation discusses laser guided missiles. It provides an introduction that defines missiles as rockets meant for destructive purposes that differ from rockets by using guidance systems. It then describes the four main components of missiles as targeting/guidance, flight, propulsion, and warhead systems. The document discusses laser guidance specifically, explaining that laser designators calculate position relative to a highlighted target and that guided weapons can find and destroy targets marked by laser beams. It provides details on the construction, working, mission phases and advantages/disadvantages of laser guided missiles.
This document summarizes previous research on laser induced ignition for internal combustion engines. It discusses the different mechanisms by which lasers can induce ignition, including thermal, non-resonant, resonant and photochemical breakdown. Experimental studies on combustion vessels and engines found that laser ignition results in shorter ignition delays, higher peak pressures, and an extended lean limit compared to conventional spark ignition. Recent research has focused on developing compact, efficient ceramic lasers that could replace spark plugs and improve engine performance. However, challenges remain in packaging the laser and delivering its beam into the combustion chamber.
This document discusses contractual capacity and the capacity of minors to enter into contracts. It defines key concepts like capacity, disaffirmation, and emancipation. It provides examples of types of contracts that minors can void, like executory contracts, and contracts they are liable for, like necessaries. The document also discusses other capacity issues like mental impairment, intoxication, and ratification. It examines cases related to minors' contracts and restrictions on agreements that are considered unlawful.
This document defines and describes missiles. It begins by explaining that a missile is any object thrown at a target to hit it, such as a stone thrown at a bird. Modern missiles are precision-guided munitions with propulsion, guidance, and control systems. The key components of a missile are a warhead, propulsion system, guidance system, and control system. Missiles are classified based on their method of launching and range. Guidance systems include command, homing, beam rider, and inertial guidance. Early guided missiles included the German V-1 and V-2 rockets from World War II.
This document discusses terms in standard form contracts, including express terms that are explicitly agreed to by parties and implied terms that are included by law. It outlines different types of express terms like conditions, warranties, and innominate terms. It also explains implied terms included by statute, custom, or common law. Key terms that can impact contracts are discussed, such as time for performance, price variation, payment terms, quality, and exclusion clauses. The document provides examples of how these various terms would appear in a contract and considerations around fairness.

A legal contract requires several key elements to be valid and enforceable:
(1) An offer must be made that is clear, definite, and communicates the intent to be legally bound.
(2) The offer must be accepted in an unqualified manner that matches the terms of the offer.
(3) Consideration, meaning both parties receive something of value in exchange, is required unless the contract is made under seal.
(4) Both parties must intend to create legal relations that are binding upon them. For commercial contracts this is presumed, but social agreements between individuals generally do not intend to be legally binding.
(5) The terms of the contract must be reasonably certain so the obligations of both
Turnkey projects refer to contracts where a firm fully designs, constructs, and equips a facility and turns it over to the purchaser ready for operation. The process involves the contractor tendering for the project and then delivering and executing it. The Continental Group is an Indian company that specializes in turnkey interior solutions and projects. It provides turnkey services for sectors like corporate, telecom, retail, hospitality, and healthcare. Advantages of turnkey projects include good economic returns, contractors being responsible for results, and fixed pricing. Disadvantages include high prices, lack of client interference, and difficulty finding specialists.
Law of contract - Legal Environment of Business - Business Law - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
The word contract is derived from the Latin word “Contractum” which means “drawn together”. To the layman, the word “contract” probably means “an agreement’ which can be enforced in the court of law.
This document summarizes the concept of capacity to contract. [1] It discusses how minors, those with mental disabilities, and intoxicated persons may lack capacity. [2] It explains that those without capacity can disaffirm or avoid contracts, but may also later ratify them. [3] The duties upon disaffirmance, such as returning consideration, are also outlined.
The document discusses the legal rules regarding acceptance of an offer to form a contract.
1. Acceptance must be absolute and unqualified, communicated to the offeror, and made within any time limit specified in the offer or within a reasonable time if no limit is specified.
2. Communication of acceptance is complete when put in the course of transmission to the offeror. Silence is not generally considered acceptance unless agreed by the parties or required by custom.
3. A person must have the legal capacity and not be disqualified to enter into a valid contract. Capacity depends on factors like soundness of mind, age of majority, and legal status. Agreements by minors and those of uns
Micromachined Electro-Mechanical Systems, also called microfabricated Systems, have evoked great interest in the scientific and engineering communities. This is primarily due to several substantive advantages that MEMS offer: orders of magnitude smaller size, better performance than other solutions, possibilities for batch fabrication and cost-effective integration with electronics, virtually zero dc power consumption and potentially large reduction in power consumption, etc.
This Seminar would give an introduction to these exciting developments and the technology and design approaches for the realization of these integrated systems. It would be followed with an introduction to the design of microsensors, such as the pressure sensor and the accelerometer, which began the MEMS revolution.
A systematic approach is developed to select manufacturing Process Chains for the generic elements of a MEMS device. A database of MEMS Process Chains and their attendant process attributes is developed from the existing literature, and used to construct Process Attribute charts. The performance requirements of MEMS beams and trenches are translated into the same set of Process Attributes. This allows for a screening of the Process Chains to obtain a list of candidate manufacturing methods.
I begin with a quick introduction to MEMS technology, micron scale and show that silicon is eminently suited for micromechanical devices and therefore the possibility of integrating MEMS with VLSI electronics. Smart cell phones and wireless enabled devices are poised to become commercial engines for the next generation of MEMS, since MEMS provide not only better functionality with smaller chip area, but also alternative transceiver architectures for improved functionality, performance and reliability.
The application domains cover microsensors and actuators for physical quantities, of which MEMS for automobile & consumer electronics forms a large segment; microfabricated subsystems for communications and computer systems.
A turnkey project refers to a project where a contractor is responsible for designing, building, and training personnel for a new facility. The contractor agrees to deliver a fully operational project, including training staff, and upon completion hands over the keys to the client. Turnkey projects merge design and construction responsibilities into a single contract between the client and contractor. They allow the contractor flexibility to modify the design as needed while assuming responsibility for any gaps or omissions. While turnkey projects provide economic returns, they do not establish long-term operations in the foreign country and can create future competitors.
This document is a seminar report submitted by Diana Alkeflawi to the Mechanical Engineering Department at Erciyes University on smart materials for vibration reduction.

Jonathan Hazell outlines a three-step approach to determining the right tree for the right place: define, design, deliver. First, define the purpose of the tree and any constraints of the site, planning or finance. Second, design a response that addresses access, consent, maintenance and removal. Third, deliver the tree by planting it since the need has been defined and a design created to meet that need.
This document discusses when trees may pose hazards and what criteria are used to determine if remedial actions are needed. It provides definitions of key concepts like hazard, risk, and target. A tree is only considered hazardous if it has the potential to fail, there is an environment that could contribute to failure, and a target that could be injured or damaged. When deciding if inspection or action is required, factors like the likelihood and consequences of a foreseeable problem must be considered, and the costs of any measures should not grossly outweigh the benefits. Reasonable precautions only need to protect those reasonably likely to be affected by a failure. The document examines some tree examples and asks if they pose hazards based on these principles.
