ExOne Direct Material Printing - Binder Jetting TechnologyRicardo Toledo
Unique binder-based 3D printing technology was developed at MIT.
ExOne uses Binder Jetting technology to 3D print complex parts in industrial-grade materials. Binder Jetting is an additive manufacturing process in which a liquid binding agent is selectively deposited to join powder particles. Layers of material are then bonded to form an object. The printhead strategically drops binder into the powder. The job box lowers and another layer of powder is then spread and binder is added. Over time, the part develops through the layering of powder and binder.
Binder Jetting is capable of printing a variety of materials including metals, sands and ceramics. Some materials, like sand, require no additional processing. Other materials are typically cured and sintered and sometimes infiltrated with another material, depending on the application. Hot isostatic pressing may be employed to achieve high densities in solid metals.

A Design and Analysis of Two Plate Injection Mould Tool For Wi-Fi RouterTherm...EditorJST
This A Wi-Fi router is a device that performs the function of a wireless access point, it is used to provide
access to the internet or a private computer. It is the hardware device that provide basic infrastructure for a home
or small office network.Proposed to make a single impression semi-automatic family mould to design top and
bottom cover for Wi-Fi router to make it more aesthetic, to reduce material cost, better heat dissipation, and to
reduce the tooling cost, to make the product more competitive in the market.It is proposed select the suitable plastic
material, to modify the existing plastic product design and to develop a suitable two plate family mould of one
impression each using SIEMENS NX software. It is also proposed to make detailing of mould parts and its assembly
for manufacturing using SIEMENS NX software. The analysis was done in AUTODESK MOLDFLOW. The mould
cost, raw material cost and processing cost per component are to be estimated to find the cost per component and to
compare it with the existing component part.
B Kindilien-Does Manufacturing Have a Future?jgIpotiwon
Presentation to students and educators at Eastern Connecticut State University in 2008 on the challenges, and opportunities, facing people in manufacturing.
Supervisor: Melissa

Jaykumar Ahir
Omar Alhasawi
Problem statement:
During cases of emergency such as earthquakes, heavy rains and dangers such as terror attacks. Mass evacuation is important since these situations pose a serious threat to human kind safety. This is an innovative project idea which seeks to provide a solution to mass, reliable and safe eviction of people and property in cases of emergency where applicable, by the fabrication of a simple hydraulic robot arm bridge and robotics (Bajid, 2010).
Measure of success:
Since this is a proposal leading to the design and fabrication of working prototype, the prototype must work during testing (Klaus and Horn, 1986). Another option is to build a massive vehicle that could transport masses of people in air or land depending on the situation, the EVAC.
Proposal and History of the chosen company:
This is a proposed mechanical engineering project, in which we propose the design and manufacture of hydraulically powered, and a simple to manipulate robot Arm Bridge, and the EVAC vehicle to the JCB Company of the UK. The company designs and manufactures heavy commercial vehicles and earth movers for agriculture and the military. This shall be new products in their manufacturing line which shall serve to realize fast and reliable mass rescue of victims during emergencies. The project intent to combine a hydraulic robot arm having all the features and types of a typical robot arm, a retractable structure similar to a road bride to give a compound gadget and that can be incorporated / carried at the back of heavy commercial equipment such as a pathfinder. The EVAC will be more of a difficult option because of its multi-purpose vehicle that works on both land and air. This machine will be massive and light that can carry up to 200-300 citizens during emergencies. We want to mass produce any of this machinery that will greatly benefit Great Britain when faced with natural disasters.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

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.

Final project report on grocery store management system..pdfKamal Acharya
In today’s fast-changing business environment, it’s extremely important to be able to respond to client needs in the most effective and timely manner. If your customers wish to see your business online and have instant access to your products or services.
Online Grocery Store is an e-commerce website, which retails various grocery products. This project allows viewing various products available enables registered users to purchase desired products instantly using Paytm, UPI payment processor (Instant Pay) and also can place order by using Cash on Delivery (Pay Later) option. This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
