This document provides instructions for assembling and raising a tower structure. It includes details on the various wood and metal components needed for the lower and upper platforms. It recommends building the base triangle and platform subassemblies first before connecting them. Horizontal and vertical cables should be installed and loosely tightened before raising. The raising process involves establishing roles, clearing space, attaching guide ropes, and having teams slowly pull and lower the tower into place under the direction of a lift master. After raising, bolts and turnbuckles should be re-tightened.
Woodworking: The Essentila "all Purpose" workbenchYadeaHerman
Building a workbench seems to be a rite of
passage for most serious woodworkers.
It has a maple split top (Roubo) which is what many
advanced woodworkers are using. It uses
inexpensive vises but is designed to accept the more
expensive hardware should you chose to upgrade.
The only "downsides" to this bench would be the
difficulty with adding a Benchcrafted tail vise (would
need a longer top) and it uses round dogs instead of
square dogs. Both of which are options many choose
to do differently so, it comes down to a personal
choice. You could probably also call out the fact that
it's only 6 feet long as well. Frankly, if we would have
made it longer, it would have accepted the
Benchcrafted tail vise nicely; but keeping it shorter
allowed us to order 12' lumber for the top and not
have any scrap.
All details including dimensions, parts list, tool list,
and a full cost breakdown are included.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

6. Upper Platform Subassembly- cont’d
Here’s what it should look like after you have attached
the plywood panels with the wood screws. (You’ll need to
flip the frame over first to attach the plywood). .
Pro Tip: Arranging the plywood panels is
like a jigsaw puzzle, but you will find that
underside of each piece of plywood there
are markings that will give you a clue how
they should be arranged.
7. Tower Build- Suggested Order
1. Lay out and organize all components
2. Build Base (bottom) triangle out of 4x4 wood beams segments connected
together by steel box sleeves. Connect assembled segments together with
angle supports to form the final triangle. All bolts used should be the
shortest of the skinny bolts. While assembling, think about how angle
support bottoms will be positioned after raising! Set aside.
3. Build Upper platform use the diagram as a guide. You’ll need the flat iron
pieces with cutoff corners, as well as the U-shaped steel joining sleeves.
Keep all bolts loose and with some play until you have the whole thing built.
Then tighten it all down, and cover it with the plywood panels, using wood
screws and a power drill driver to secure panels directly to wood framing.
Set aside.
4. Put together any two lower 6x6 sections of wood using steel sleeves and
any two upper 6x6 sections of wood using steel sleeves. Remember that
the upper fulcrum side of each beam sections will have groove scars aligning
with a weld line inside the fulcrum. A score (or scar) 5 inches from the end
of a beam indicates that is the end the platform or the base “boot” attaches
to. On these four subassemblies sections, you add their 8 boots.
Tower Assembly and Raising Instructions 7
8. Note optimal height for
Fulcrum when assembling
“X” structure. Approx 12”
Taller (three 4x4 blocks) above
Sawhorses. You may need to
vary this during the build as
well. Err on the side of more
blocks (height) which will
make leg attachment easier.
Tower Build- Suggested Order
5. Set the Fulcrum on a sawhorse. Orient it properly and at one tower leg’s length from the
final raised resting place. Where you place the fulcrum now determines the tower’s
permanent location. Using other sawhorses as support, add the four segments you’ve
build from Step 4 to the Fulcrum. Respect which side of Fulcrum is up. Think about where
the holes are drilled for cable attachments. Think about orientation of all faces in all
dimensions. Take your time.
Tower Assembly and Raising Instructions 8
9. 6. For the third lower segment and the third upper segment, both of which
telescope up into the air, don’t pre-assemble the full segments. Instead
just add one piece at a time, which makes it easier to lift them into place.
Wood beam, then metal sleeve, then wood beam, then finally boot.
7. Attach Horizontal (climbing) cables per guidelines and tips highlighted
elsewhere in these instructions. Remember to open all turnbuckles to
their loosest setting before affixing cables to them. Cable #9 opening
should not be on the same plane as turnbuckles.
8. Take some slack out of the cables by tightening turnbuckles a bit, but
don’t tighten cables completely until after raising.
9. Attach Vertical (Structural) cables. (Measure all cables and runs first).
Loosely tighten, saving turnbuckle capacity for post-raising. Make sure
turnbuckles are accessible from ground level after raising.
10. Double check and re-tighten all bolts.

Tower Assembly and Raising Instructions 13
14. Raising the Tower
• Establish the Homeslice Team. One Pulling Captain, one Breaking Captain and one Lift Master. All sober (at
the moment) and all Experienced Tower Raising Slicers. Make sure volunteers know to watch and listen to
their Captain. The LiftMaster is in charge of everything. The captains watch and listen to the LiftMaster, and
relay precise orders to their crew. The Lift Master (usually Kheddarz) oversees the entire raising.
• Clear Trampoline, and any obstacles away that could be crushed by catastrophic failure, or that might trip
hurried raisers/breakers scrambling to change position. Ropes should have clear, straight lines of sight.
• Make sure thick rebar has been driven on correct side of the base as a break from lower end slippage across
the playa. . Try to get at least 12” deep into playa. Never hurts to rebar both sides, since tension shifts.
Rebar should only touch center metal sleeve, at 2 points, at least 18” apart.
• Attach ropes. One rope pulls. Two ropes for break. (Same with Lowering, One rope pulls and two ropes
break)
• ALWAYS more recruits on breaking than pulling. We always want more break than accellerator!!!!
• Get Big guys to lift it off the ground to get started, while pullers start pulling and breakers keeping rope
taught only. Breakers should keep it taught, but not fight the pullers.
• Once off the ground, Big guys move to break line. Get out of the way in case of fall.
• Captains watch the Liftmaster and listen carefully at this point!!
• When point weight pivots, Liftmaster asks pullers to ease up on pulling, transitioning to keeping line from
slacking, but not pull from the breakers. Meanwhile breakers who now have the tension, slowly lower tower
to resting place. As this happens, Breakers closest to the tower will need to let go as the rope gets too high.
They will move to the back of the breaker line.
• Cheers! As the Tower settles.
• Re-check and tighten all bolts. Tighten all Turnbuckles.
• For safety, remove all rebar that secured movement during raising.
