Real-Time and Off-Line Aids for Teaching Digital Control
This is a report of unique computer tools developed for teaching of the design of digital control systems at the University of Wyoming. The real-time components of the laboratory involve...
CAD/CAM: Reverse Engineering Applications
The reproduction of parts for which drawings or CAD files are not available has always caused engineering effort to be expended in a non-routine manner. The need for such a reverse engineering...
Using a CAM System for Generating Potential Solutions in Machining Processes
This paper presents a software package which was designed to generate potential solutions for producing specific machine shapes as an application of a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)...
Teaching Computer Numerical Control of Manufacturing Processes
A series of part programming problems assigned to the students are described. These assignments progressively expose the students to manual programming, computer assisted part programming...
A Minimal Input Computer Aided Manufacturing Program for Personal Computers
The author presents here an algorithm developed in Pascal for an integrated two and a half dimensional CAD/CAM system. The geometry and the tool paths are defined simultaneously, thereby...
POU/POE Devices: Availability, Performance, and Cost
In order to gather and summarize information and data on point of use/point of entry (POU/POE) devices, a committee was established by the Environmental Engineering Division of the American...
Use of POE/POU Technology at US Army Installations
A wide spectrum of adverse water quality characteristics has been experienced at US Army installations throughout the country. These characteristics, both interim and long-term in nature,...
Radon Resistant New Construction Practices
This paper highlights the basic principles for building radon-resistant houses and it groups the construction techniques into four categories, i.e., the barrier approach, soil ventilation...
Pressure Differences Affecting Radon Entry in New Residential Construction
Various conditions in a house can commonly produce house negative pressures up to 20 Pascals relative to the soil gas pressure. Depressurization of the house relative to the soil gas will...
Cost of Radon Control Measures in New Construction
Installation of a radon prevention system in new construction increases costs to builders and to homebuyers as well. Builders and/or their engineers will need to assess different approaches...
Economic Impacts of Storm Sewer Design Criteria
This paper discusses the selection of storm sewer design criteria and the resulting economic impacts. Using the Rational Method for calculating design flows, an investigation was made...
Flood Impact and Management of Levees in Tennessee
The construction of private levees is causing flooding and erosion problems along several tributary rivers in West Tennessee. The severity of these problems is recognized by the State...
Chemigation Equipment for Protecting Water Quality
Concerns for protecting groundwater quality have brought forth some strict EPA regulations on equipment required for injecting pesticides into irrigation systems. These chemigation equipment...
Highway Erosion Remedial Measures
Soil erosion from highway ditches, cut slopes and fill slopes present a continuous problem to roadway designers, geotechnical engineers, and construction and maintenance personnel from...
History of the Federal Interagency Sedimentation Project
Since 1939, the date of the Project's inception, the team has operated under the direction of two lead agencies - the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers....
