Why are apartments called apartments if they are built together? The word “apartment” comes from the French word appartement and the Italian word appartimento, both of which mean “a separated place.” If you think about it, it makes sense. Even though all the apartments within a single building are indeed stuck together, they are also […]
What purpose do batter boards serve?
What purpose do batter boards serve? Batter boards (or battre boards, Sometimes mispronounced as “battle boads”) are temporary frames, set beyond the corners of a planned foundation at precise elevations. These batter boards are then used to hold layout lines (construction twine) to indicate the limits (edges and corners) of the foundation. What does batter […]

How is average job tardiness calculated?
How is average job tardiness calculated? The average lateness for a group of jobs is equal to the total lateness for the jobs divided by the number of jobs. Job flow time includes both actual processing time and any time waiting to be processed. Job lateness is the difference between the job flow time and […]
What are some other examples of where crank and sliders might be used in the real world?
What are some other examples of where crank and sliders might be used in the real world? Uses. An electric motor driven crank and slider mechanism with a reciprocating motion output can be used as: the basis of a testing device for: testing furniture drawer slides by repeatedly opening and closing drawers, tens of thousands […]

How far behind someone should you drive? two seconds What is required before securing the car? You begin by stopping the vehicle, set your parking brake, then place the gear selector in park, turn off accessories, turn off ignition and remove key, remove any occupant restraint such as seat belt and valuables from sight, check […]
How does heat treatment affect yield strength?
How does heat treatment affect yield strength? The heat treatment develops hardness, softness, and improves the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, corrosion resistance and creep rupture. These processes also help to improve machining effect, and make them versatile. Does Young’s modulus change with heat treatment? Since the Young modulus is related […]
How do you increase the toughness of steel?
How do you increase the toughness of steel? As-quenched, martensitic steel is strong, but often notably brittle. In order to increase ductility and toughness, martensite is heat-treated by a process called tempering1,2,3. Strength typically decreases with increasing tempering temperature and time, and a corresponding increase in toughness is expected. How do I test my hardness? […]
What are the four tests for flexibility in FMS research?
What are the four tests for flexibility in FMS research? The following are four reasonable tests of flexibility in an automated manufacturing system: Part variety test. Can the system process different part styles in a nonbatch mode?. Schedule change test. Can the system readily accept changes in production schedule, and changes in either […]
What are the different types of die casting?
What are the different types of die casting? To produce light alloy castings, three of the most common technologies are: high pressure die casting, gravity die casting and low pressure die casting. Each technology can support permanent casting process with gravity and low pressure also able to support semi-permanent casting processes. What are the advantages […]
