Abstract Geometric tolerancing is an important factor affecting the functional performance and manufacturing cost of a product. Tolerancing specifications have to be assigned with care at design time to reduce the gap between design and manufacturing. This paper describes a system that simplifies tolerancing assignment and uses dimensioning and tolerancing data for related applications. The system consists of five modules for feature type classification, tolerance assignment, tolerance network construction, frame transformation, and tolerance analysis interface. It provides an interactive interface for tolerance assignment based on geometric features that a designer can select from decomposed isometric drawing. The system also recognizes the type of a feature so that only appropriate tolerancing specifications can be assigned. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing data are used to construct a network for representing the tolerancing and mating relationship among features. The network is then converted for tolerance analysis via a tolerance analysis interface.

Abstract The stone products with different sizes, geometries and materials — like machine tool's bench, measuring machine's board or sculptures, floor tiles — can be produced automatically while the manufacturing engineer uses objective function similar to metal cutting. This function can minimise the manufacturing time or the manufacturing cost, in other cases it can maximise of the tool's life. To use several functions, manufacturing engineers need an overall theoretical background knowledge, which can give useful information about the choosing of technological parameters (e.g. feed rate, depth of cut, or cutting speed), the choosing of applicable tools or especially the choosing of the optimum motion path. A similarly important customer's requirement is the appropriate surface roughness of the machined (cut, sawn or milled) stone product. This paper's first part is about a five-month-long literature review, which summarizes in short the studies (researches and results) considered the most important by the authors. These works are about the investigation of the surface roughness of stone products in stone machining. In the second part of this paper the authors try to determine research possibilities and trends, which can help to specify the relation between the surface roughness and technological parameters. Most of the suggestions of this paper are about stone milling, which is the least investigated machining method in the world.

Overview of the research results got by various scientific schools in the field of application of ultrasonic surface hardening is provided. Wide range of opportunities of ultrasonic surface hardening is shown for the application in the preliminary machining of surfaces before thermal and chemical treatment, coating, and also as finishing machining. The effect of the energy of ultrasonic vibrations on structure changes in the material of the surface layer and on surface microrelief on parts performance is considered. The prospects of using of the ultrasonic surface hardening method in combination with other methods of the material modification are presented. In addition the possibilities of reducing the manufacturing cost of product by introducing ultrasonic surface hardening into the technological process are shown.

Application Prospects

The antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a group of unique naturally occurring anti-microbial compounds with around 50 amino acids. It represents promising therapeutic agents to the infectious disease without concerning about drug resistance. However, commercial development of these peptides for even the simplest application has been hindered by the limitations of sources, instability, toxicity and bioavailability. To improve the properties of the artificial synthesized AMPs, the modification and design are the hotspots of the AMPs research. In fact, more than half of the known AMPs are naturally modified. In this review, two types of modification strategies, biochemical modification and chemical modification were summarized. Although, the chemical modification is versatile and direct, the manufacturing cost is greatly increased compared to the antibiotics. With the recent progress of the protein modification enzyme, the biochemical modification of the antimicrobial peptide followed by heterologous expression has great application prospects.

AbstractEnergy conservation has become an essential step in pulp and paper industry due to diminishing fossil reserves and high cost of energy. Refining is a mechanical treatment of pulp that modifies the structure of the fibres in order to achieve desired paper-making properties. However, it consumes considerable amount of energy. The electrical power consumption has a direct impact on paper manufacturing cost. Therefore, there is a requirement to minimize the energy cost. Enzyme-assisted refining is the environment friendly option that reduces the energy consumption for papermaking. Enzyme-assisted refining is defined as mechanical refining after pretreatment of pulp with enzymes such as cellulases and hemicellulases. It not only reduces the energy consumption but also improves the quality of finished paper. Enzymes improve the beatability of pulp at same refining degree (°SR) and desired paper properties can be achieved at decreased refining time. The selection of suitable enzyme, optimization of enzyme dose and appropriate reaction time are the key factors for energy reduction and pulp quality improvement during enzyme-assisted refining.
