The mechanized assembly line was invented in 1913 and has been in continuous operation ever since. It is the most familiar form of mass production. Both praised as a boon to workers and condemned for exploiting them, it has been celebrated and satirized. (We can still picture Chaplin's little tramp trying to keep up with a factory conveyor belt.) In America's Assembly Line, David Nye examines the industrial innovation that made the United States productive and wealthy in the twentieth century.

During all these years of my professional career in warehouse logistics, I have read many excellent books on this subject of how to organize the warehouse and control the inventory, of renowned authors, and I have observed the following: not every reader can understand the explanations that they are given in them, since they are written, especially for people with knowledge in the field or for professionals. For this reason, after having read and analyzed these books, it is very likely that you still cannot answer the question "how to do it" or implement the techniques of warehouse ...

Power system protection systems have three basic components: Instrument transformers, Relays, Circuit breakers The function of the CT is to reproduce in its secondary winding a current I’ that is proportional to the primary current I. The CT converts primary currents in the kiloamp range to secondary currents in the 0–5 ampere range for convenience of measurement. The function of the relay is to discriminate between normal operation and fault conditions. The OC relay in Figure 2 has an operating coil, which is connected to the CT secondary winding, and a set of contacts. When I’ ...

These days, it is more difficult than ever to build a business that can remain competitive in a world where customers can find your competition with just the click of a mouse.

Making a business into a Lean business can give it the competitive advantage that the perpetual buyers’ market takes away.

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is also ubiquitous in the modern world, from aircraft to soda cans. A dizzying number of consumer and industrial products employ aluminum, typically alloyed, because of its availability, versatility, and malleability. Today, how efficiently we use—and reuse—aluminum is vital to addressing key environmental challenges and understanding humanity’s fraught relationship with the earth.

According to numerous neuroscience studies, 95% of our thoughts, emotions, and learnings occur before we are consciously aware of them. However, much of today’s technology is built based on the other 5%; the part users are able to articulate in focus groups, interviews, and when filling out surveys. It’s our job to decode the other 95%. Technology has driven progress for decades, and industries have reacted accordingly by dedicating enormous amounts of time and resources to progress in this domain by building bigger, faster, and more sophisticated systems. But what if the key to ...

It seems like magic when some new gadget seems to know what we want before we know ourselves.

The dream of a universal translation device goes back many decades, long before Douglas Adams's fictional Babel fish provided this service in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Since the advent of computers, research has focused on the design of digital machine translation tools - computer programs capable of automatically translating a text from a source language to a target language. This has become one of the most fundamental tasks of artificial intelligence.

This book examines, explains, and exemplifies the mechanical and technical skills necessary for the efficient and effective operation of manufacturing plants. The text is informational and educational, and it is written for easy understanding at all reader levels.
