When heavy loads need to be automated or supported by large capacity bearings there are few options for selecting standard products. Slewing ring bearings are often selected for heavy load applications and can be supplied in large diameters. However, the use of slewing bearings should be carefully scrutinized due to their high cost, long lead-times, difficult installation procedures, and frequent service maintenance. Heavy duty rings with vee guide wheels are a viable alternative to slewing bearings because in many cases they can meet the load capacity and life expectations in heavy load applications. Just like slewing rings, heavy duty vee rings can be rack and pinion driven on the inner or outer diameters and feature significant load capacities. However, additional features of vee guide technology provide improvements beyond the limitations of slewing bearings.

In many applications, the decision to select a standard bearing yields an effective solution.
But there are other instances in which an OEM will actually be short-changed through the selection of a standard bearing. Standard bearings often exceed the functional needs required by an application. The resulting “over-specification” creates unnecessary complexity, size issues, design constraints, and cost increases.

How to solve your motion system design in less time with motorized actuator a...Design World
The design and development of automated processing equipment can be a daunting and time consuming task. At the outset of every automation project there is an understanding of the work to be performed. The designer will identify the items which can be purchased, and the items which must be designed and fabricated. Even a simple guided motion system project can spiral out of budget due to unforeseen complexity.
How to create robust guided motion for any environmentDesign World
Guided motion is an important feature found in automated machinery and equipment. Motion system components can enable the movement of heavy loads, or allow for equipment to be designed for adjustability and allow for a variety of machine functions or operational tasks. Motion products are engineered for specific conditions such as load direction, load capacity, or chemical compatibility. They are typically designed to carry loads in controlled service conditions which are clean, free of debris and well lubricated. After several months of use, these ideal operating conditions are rarely a reality for production machinery.
How to regain design freedom and source the perfect linear guide with Extrude...Design World
Linear guides are one of the most important components required for the development of automated or computer controlled equipment. 3D printers, CNC routers, and tabletop factories. Machines wouldn’t function without them. During the development phase, most design engineers will survey existing manufacturers for standard linear guide products to incorporate into their projects. Invariably, the designer will need to make compromises in their selection process and accept limited design freedom on purchased products. Perhaps the available guides are too large, require modifications, or have unstable supply quantities.
Extrusion based linear guides provide design freedom and can incorporate additional features to lower the overall complexity of a machine. They are supplied reliably in low quantities with the perfect design features. Extrusion designs can incorporate locations for attaching gear racks, linear tape encoders, cable carriers, or wire ducts and secondary machining such as threaded end holes allow for simplified assembly. Integrate many features into your perfect extruded profile guide.

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.

Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
