Abstract:
This article discusses reconfigurable forming dies that increases the efficiency of small-lot production. Manufacturers have long desired single universal tools that could make many different shapes. Patents for reconfigurable “discrete-die” tooling—dies composed of movable elements such as pins or plates—date back nearly to the inception of the patent office. In forming large sheet metal parts, elastic springback can cause unacceptable part shape errors if the part is formed on a tool whose shape mirrors that of the finished part. Two approaches to tool shape correction have been developed for use with the reconfigurable tool. In one, an iterative technique calculates the correct die shape based on two initial guesses. In the other, a predictive technique uses finite element analysis to model and correct for elastic springback. Cost and benefit analysis has shown the attractiveness of reconfigurable tooling based on the initial investment alone. An even greater benefit could be realized through lowered assembly costs and shortened turnaround time for small production lots. Small-lot production shops are likely to profit by replacing fixed-shape forming tools with reconfigurable tools.

Abstract:
The authors set out the benefits to a university, in terms of technology exploitation, of a detailed technology audit. Taking the example of an audit carried out at the University of Manchester, they briefly describe the methodology employed and then discuss in detail its results, the institutional barriers to technology transfer it identified, and the positive learning and actions within the University which flowed directly from it. Key conclusions relate to the importance of networking among the technology transfer offices of various higher education institutions, the establishment of a ‘one-stop shop’ for technology transfer, the ideal composition of a technology transfer unit, the importance of funding availability up to demonstration stage, the argument for making technology transfer a ‘core activity’, and the crucial involvement of the highest levels of academic management in technology transfer operations.

Abstract:
Freedom from Torture is a UK-based human rights organisation dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of torture survivors. The organisation has been working towards the development of a clinical outcome tool for a number of years, and the purpose of this paper is to (a) describe the process of developing the tool and the final tool itself, and (b) to outline the system which Freedom from Torture has established to collect, record and analyse the data produced. A review of the literature revealed that existing measures were not appropriate for measuring psychological and emotional change amongst torture survivors; therefore the organisation undertook to develop a tool specifically designed for this target group. The clinical outcome tool was developed collaboratively by Freedom from Torture clinicians, clients, interpreters and an external consultant. Initial discussions took place with clinicians and clients to develop an understanding of what psychosocial wellbeing and psychosocial distress meant to this unique population of torture survivors, and which issues and features should be included in the clinical outcome tool. A process of discussion and testing of potential approaches led to the development of a draft clinical outcome tool which was translated into 15 languages and then pilot tested with 151 clients. The data from the pilot study was analysed and used to produce the final version of the clinical outcome tool. The clinical outcome tool was formally rolled out across the organisation’s five centres in April 2014. Clinicians working with adult clients have been completing it at the beginning of therapy and then again at regular intervals. The data from the first year is currently being analysed, and the experiences of clinicians, clients and interpreters of using the clinical outcome tool are being reviewed, with a view to continuing to develop and improve the tool and the processes by which it is used. Ultimately, the data will be used to improve the services offered to survivors of torture in the UK.

Abstract:
As the tool magazine and automatic tool changer (ATC) are the important function units to reserve and change tools for the machining center, the tool-changing rate affects their reliability life which directly influences the performance level of the machining center. However, the reliability of the tool magazine and ATC has not yet got a reasonable evaluation index. Directing at the features of the tool magazine and ATC system, the mean tool change numbers between failures evaluation index is proposed, which is used to calculate the mean time to repair and estimate the collected failure data of the chain-type tool magazine and ATC. It can be seen that the tool magazine with continuous tool-changing adopts the mean tool change numbers between failures as the reliability evaluation index.

Abstract:
In the machine manufacturing industry, CNC machine tools possess many advantages and have gradually become the leading machine tools to replace the ordinary machine tools. According to their processing usages, they can be divided into two kinds: general CNC and NTC. With the automatic tool change device consisting of tool magazine and mechanical arm, the latter can complete the most, if not all, processings of workpieces in a clamping. According to the instruction to select tools from the digital control system, the tools in the tool magazine can be located to the position for tool change, which is called automatic tool selection. Automatical tool selection can be implemented at random and sequentially. This paper focuses on random tool selection in ATC tool magazine controlled by Mitsubishi FX2N PLC series.

Abstract:
Abstract This study develops a new conceptual tool to explore the potential societal consequences of climate change. The conceptual tool delineates three quasi-independent factors that contribute to the societal consequences of climate change: how climate changes; the sensitivity of physical systems, biological resources, and social institutions to climate change; and the degree of human dependence on those systems, resources, and institutions. This conceptual tool, as currently developed, is not predictive, but it enables the exploration of the dependence of climate change risks on key contributing factors. In exploring a range of plausible behaviors for these factors and methods for their synthesis, the authors show that plausible assumptions lead to a wide range in potential societal consequences of climate change. This illustrates that the societal consequences of climate change are currently difficult to constrain and that high-consequence climate change outcomes are not necessarily low probability, as suggested by leading economic analyses. With careful implementation, this new conceptual tool has potential to increase public understanding of climate change risks, to support risk management decision making, or to facilitate communication of climate risks across disciplinary boundaries.

Abstract:
RedesignIT is a computer program that uses model-based reasoning to generate and evaluate proposals of redesign plans for engineered devices. These proposals describe how the design parameters could be changed to achieve a specified performance goal. Equally important, the program proposes complementary modifications that may be necessary to counteract the undesirable side effects of the primary changes. RedesignIT is intended for use during the first stages of a redesign project, when engineers need to make a quick, yet accurate assessment of the overall effects of a particular design change. The program uses qualitative device models, which allow it to compute redesign plans efficiently. With its ability to predict the collateral, and probably undesirable, effects of a design change, the program is well suited to aid product designers in deciding on the feasibility of introducing design changes to a product.

Abstract:
5S is a successful education/change management program that has been used in many industries to institute a culture of orderliness in the workplace. 5S programs are common in the automotive, aerospace and many other industries. The U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry has recently embraced 5S objectives despite the fact that shipyards view their operations as unique from other industries. A possible reason for this decision is the culture change leverage that a 5S program can provide. The elements of 5S that make it a powerful change program that is effective in a wide variety of industries are: simplicity of concept, commonsense approach, creation of a common purpose, employee driven changes, principle-based ideas, focused events, a structure for sustaining and structured continuous improvement. The author provides examples of specific 5S applications in ship repair as well as a discussion of the elements that make 5S an effective culture change tool.

Currently, the spring machine tool is fixed by means of manual clamping and positioning by bolts. The automation of the tool change is low, and the accurate value of the tool position cannot be determined. The automatic tool change system for spring machine was designed by using the standard functional parts of the automatic tool change system of the machining center. It mainly includes the design of the automatic loose clamp device and that of the multispindle automatic tool change arm. After static analysis, the deformation of the automatic tool change arm is 0.153 mm, which satisfies the requirements for usage. Kinematic analysis of the designed automatic tool change arm was carried out. After actual verification, the designed automatic tool change system of spring machine realizes the functions of the tools automatic replacement and positioning of the spring machine, which improves the automation of the spring forming equipment.

The excessive tool wear always has a great influence on the machining accuracy in micro electrical discharge machining (micro EDM). According to the image processing on the image of tool electrodes, the contour information of the worn tools is obtained, and then the tool wear, especially the tool shape change in micro EDM is studied in this paper. Firstly, the Canny edge detection method is used to extract the outline image of the tool, the scatter points of outline image are curve fitted, and the mathematical description of the tool outline is presented. And then though the mathematical analysis of the fitting function, the tool shape change and tool wear law of micro EDM are analyzed. Finally, according to the curvature changes of fitting curves, the end wear, corner wear and side wear of cylindrical electrode in micro EDM drilling and micro EDM milling, respectively, are divided reasonably based on the analysis, and the amount of each kind of wear is quantitatively estimated.

Abstract:Most powerful analytical tools used in the social sciences are well suited for studying static situations. Static and mechanistic analysis, however, is not adequate to understand the changing world in which we live. In order to adequately address the most pressing social and environmental challenges looming ahead, we need to develop analytical tools for analyzing dynamic situations – particularly institutional change. In this paper, we develop an analytical tool to study institutional change, more specifically, the evolution of rules and norms. We believe that in order for such an analytical tool to be useful to develop a general theory of institutional change, it needs to enable the analyst to concisely record the processes of change in multiple specific settings so that lessons from such settings can eventually be integrated into a more general predictive theory of change.

Abstract:
Abstract Research is needed on interventions targeting sedentary behavior with appropriate behavior-change tools. The current study used convergent sequential mixed methods (QUAN + qual) to explore tool use during a edentary behavior intervention. Data came from a two-arm randomized sedentary behavior pilot intervention. Participants used a number of intervention tools (e.g., prompts and standing desks). Separate mixed-effects regression models explored associations between change in number of tools and frequency of tool use with two intervention targets: change in sitting time and number of sit-to-stand transitions overtime. Qualitative data explored participants’ attitudes towards intervention tools. There was a significant relationship between change in total tool use and sitting time after adjusting for number of tools (β = −12.86, p = .02), demonstrating that a one-unit increase in tool use was associated with an almost 13 min reduction in sitting time. In contrast, there was a significant positive association between change in number of tools and sitting time after adjusting for frequency of tool use (β = 63.70, p = .001), indicating that increasing the number of tools without increasing frequency of tool use was associated with more sitting time. Twenty-four semistructured interviews were coded and a thematic analysis revealed four themes related to tool use: (a) prompts to disrupt behavior; (b) tools matching the goal; (c) tools for sit-to-stand were ineffective; and (d) tool use evolved over time. Participants who honed in on effective tools were more successful in reducing sitting time. Tools for participants to increase sit-to-stand transitions were largely ineffective.

Abstract:
The ANEMI model is an integrated assessment model of global change that emphasizes the role of water resources. The model is based on the principles of system dynamics simulation to analyze changes in the Earth system using feedback processes. Securing water resources for the future is a key issue of global change, and ties into global systems of population growth, climate change, carbon cycle, hydrologic cycle, economy, energy production, land use and pollution generation. Here the third iteration of the model–ANEMI3 is described, along with the methods used for parameter estimation and model testing. The main differences between ANEMI3 and previous versions include: (i) implementation of the energy-economy system based on the principles of system dynamics simulation; (ii) incorporation of water supply as an additional sector in the global economy that parallels the production of energy; (iii) inclusion of climate change effects on land yield and potentially arable land for food production, and (iv) addition of nitrogen and phosphorus based nutrient cycles as indicators of global water quality, which affect the development of surface water supplies. The model is intended for analyzing long-term global feedbacks which drive global change. Because of this, there are limitations related to the spatial scale that is used. However, the model’s simplicity can be considered a strength, as it allows for the driving feedbacks to be more easily identified. The model in its current form allows for a variety of scenarios to be created to address global issues such as climate change from an integrated perspective, or to examine the change in one model sector on Earth system behaviour. The endogenous structure of the model allows for global change to be driven entirely by model structure rather than exogenous inputs. The new additions to the ANEMI3 model are found to capture long term trends associated with global change, while allowing for the development of water supplies to be represented using an integrated approach considering global economy and surface water quality.

Abstract:
The powder particles using the tool grinder is composed of two types . One is mounted on the rotating shaft of the machine tool . This tool is generally single cutting edge . The installation tool is a bolt shank fixed to the rotary shaft of the positioning groove . When you need to replace the tool mechanical enclosure open , loosen all bolts to remove the tool to replace the new tool . With no cutting edge tools can extend tool life. Reduce the number of replacement tools . The second tool is mounted on the housing of the machine tool . Single cutting edge of the tool mounting clearance is small, difficult to adjust the gap . Multi-blade cutter working gap can be formed when using the wedge mounting the inlet and outlet ports of the difference . Move the material in the resulting gap wedge and promote the formation of shear extrusion processing . Quick change fixed tool so that the tool sharp edge retention , reduce heat generation . Quick tool change involves cooling structure , the tool fixed way, the position of the discharge port design and rapid tool change .

Abstract:
This article is a socio-philosophical rethinking of an extraordinary approach to social hope creation. A newlook at the future is described as a messenger of a future social change. Creativity in designing the future is seenas going to the brink of the possible and impossible of social perspective transformation. As a result, the studyis based on a comprehensive analysis of social hope, which includes all aspects of creation and transformationof social space.The author reveals an understanding of the future existence through a convincing reflection of realityand a culture of perspective change. A designer can use constructive creativity when creating social hopes.Consequently, a dialog design becomes the basis for creative transformation of the present and future.The article analyzes the conflict between hard and soft infrastructure of the desired social space. This conflictis resolved by reflection of the design deviations’ safety in the future. The author approaches resolution of thecontradiction between creativity and organization in soft infrastructure. This process is based on supervisionitself. It is a socially acceptable way of creating social hope on individual level.The study describes a new level of dialogue between man and nature in creating social hope. The developmentof cyberbionics expands the horizons of vision and understanding of the future, which will give hope for a newquality of life in the future. This area of scientific research forms an innovative image of person of the future,and raises the question of its reliability, safety and humanity. The actual projection of the future denies man’s roleof being the author of his life. The visionaries of hope are oriented toward objectification of all the participantsin future social relations, except for themselves. Such project creativity is dangerous for the social world andrequires new measures to harmonize social relations.Creativity is a protest against existing phenomena in human life. A creative person offers his own versionof the future, which is opposite to the present. Consequently, creative hope can be seen as a manifestation ofanarchism, where each designer of the future has a part of his power over it. This ideology is transferred to thearrangement of the future social space. It is based on a harmonious combination of individual and collective witha creative approach to designing the future.
