Abstract:
Advocates of a new, “magical” method for teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are attracting the attention of many elementary chool teachers. The method involves teaching children to tap reference points on numeral to count out sums, differences, and products. Teacher like it because it's easy. Student catch on quickly and get the right answers. Even students who might have had trouble with arithmetic before can tap out correct answers. What's the problem, then? To a mathematics educator, the problem with the new “magic” is that a mechanical technique for getting answer

Purpose Inspired by the development of eco-friendly flexible electronics, this paper aims to present a series of paper-based electronics drawn by pencils, which can be used as favorable sensing elements in daily life. Design/methodology/approach Pencil traces are deposited on the porous surface of Xerox paper by the mechanical exfoliation during writing process, which can be used as basic components to construct functional electronics for daily sensing applications. By changing pencil grade, the obtained traces can work as conductive wires, electrodes, resistors and piezoresistive gauges. Find

A simple and sustainable production of nanoplatelet graphite at low cost is presented using carbon-based materials, including the recycled lead-graphite pencils. In this work, exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (EGNs), ball-milled exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (BMEGNs) and recycled lead-graphite pencils (recycled 2B), as well as thermally cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), are used to fabricate highly stretchable thermal-interface materials (TIMs) with good thermally conductive and mechanically robust properties.

Abstract:
Traditional four-position mechanism synthesis focuses on the poles corresponding to four displacements of a rigid body. From these poles equations for the center-point and circle-point curves are developed. However, if a pole is infinite (the associated displacement is a pure translation), the established derivations for the pole curve equation break down. One can eliminate this problem by expressing the pole curve equation in the projective plane, because all points, including points at infinity, have finite homogeneous coordinates. In this paper, the pole curve equation is derived in the pro

Abstract:
To understand how students learn while engaged in active and embodied science games, two gears games were created. Would students' gear switching skills during the game be correlated with pre- and post-knowledge tests? Twenty-three seventh graders, playing as dyads, used gestures to manipulate virtual gears in the games. The Microsoft Kinect sensor tracked arm-spinning movements. Paper and pencil gear knowledge tests were administered before and after. In Game 1 (the easier one), the in-game switching data was significantly negatively correlated with only pretest gear knowledge. In Game 2 (the harder one), switching was negatively associated with both pre- and posttests. Negative correlations mean that fewer switches were used and that demonstrated better knowledge of mechanical advantage. In-game process data can provide a window onto learner's knowledge. However, the games need to have appropriate sensitivity and map to the learner's ZPD. In ludo (or in-process) data from videogames with high sensitivity may attenuate the need for repetitive traditional knowledge tests.

The engineering faculty at Roger Williams University are committed to training students to use modern computer-based tools when performing engineering analysis. But achieving this is a tall order, as engineering courses are already jam-packed with essential technical material and any hindrance to delivering this material is unwelcome. Likewise, we routinely pay lip service to the necessity for students to double-check their work, yet we provide students with few tools for systematically accomplishing this.

Abstract:
In this paper, a Two-phase approach to tool collision detection and local gouging elimination is proposed for haptic pencil-cut of sculptured surfaces. Pencil-cut is a special kind of machining operation, whose purpose is to use relatively smaller tools to remove rest material on the corners or highly curved regions that are inaccessible by bigger tools. Tool orientation determination and tool collision avoidance are critical issues for 5-axis pencil-cut tool path planning. Detailed techniques of haptic rendering and tool interference avoidance are discussed for haptic-aided 5-axis pencil-cut

Graphical communication has traditionally been a basic part of the mechanical engineer’s education. The production and reading of drawings have long been considered an attribute of ‘literate’ engineers. Today, that assumption is under attack, as is the very definition of a drafting course. Typical questions include “Why should we teach pencil/paper drawing in an AutoCAD age?” “Why not just teach solids modeling and forget the old-fashioned stuff?” At Mercer University we teach in the sophomore year a single two-semester-hour laboratory course containing three modules: pencil-and-paper drawing,

We propose planar and three-dimensional microfluidic fuel cell architectures based on the all-vanadium redox system. These fuel cells operate in a membraneless co-laminar flow configuration and are manufactured by economical microfabrication methods. Graphite rods, also known as mechanical pencil refills, are demonstrated as fuel cell electrodes in a three-dimensional array architecture with unique scale-up capabilities. We also demonstrate unprecedented power density levels by incorporation of porous electrodes in a planar microfluidic fuel cell.
