the drive train does not experience heavy shock loading, but does experience medium shock loading. - Km (Load distribution factor): Because the face-to-face distance is 2 inches, according to Table 11-16, the load distribution factor is 1.6. - Kv (Dynamic factor): This factor takes into account the vibrations and loads created by the gear teeth. Precision gears provide a smooth running gear train. Because the gearbox on the triple-action-press turns at a very low rpm, a gear quality (Q v) of 6 was chosen. By establishing this variable, the following calculations were made to find the Dynamic Factor

to register as the data is moved from the input to the output. Dataflowmodeling is often referred to as register transfer logic, and is very effective for implementingcombinational logic. The final modeling technique is behavioral. Using behavioral modeling,the designer is not concerned with correlating the VHDL code with the final hardware, but rathercapturing the behavior of the high level design. Behavioral modeling is the most powerfulmodeling technique yet is the most abstract and distant from the final hardware A Design ExampleFigure #3 shows asimple logic circuitconsisting of a NAND D_IN(1) D Q D_OUTgate, a

Identify the significant components in the frequency domain for AM and FM. Suggested Instructional Objectives A. Introduce students to the concept of non-periodic signals in contrast to periodic signals. B. Introduce students to concepts of baseband, broadband, modulation index, and signal bandwidth. C. Compare and contrast AM and FM communications systems in terms of ease of modulation and demodulation as well as performance in presence of

of the beneficial features of this idea are as follows: (1.) The stiffness matrix of the rectangular-shaped finite element used is illustrative, but not exceptionally complicated to program, (2.) Rotation of the element is not necessary if the element boundaries are kept parallel with the global X and Y axes, (3.) The student gains experience in programming matrix calculations of modest size, such as the stress-displacement matrix equation which yields the three types of stress values at any given location within the element.This program can be constructed using any computer programming language, even one as simpleas Q BASIC. This program is capable of calculating the stresses at any point within arectangular

Chart data was used to convert speed measurements into equivalent pump flow rates, thereby allowing students to use the equation: hydraulic horsepower equals pressure (in pounds per square inch) times flow-rate (in gallons per minute) divided by 1714. [HHP = P * Q / 1714]. D.

The light emitting diode (LED) onthe transmission line is utilized to show the transmitted serial bits.The program for this project is a “software driver” that binds the computer and the external systemhardware. Figure 5 displays the schematic diagram of the system software. The program code inQuick Basic (Q-Basic) language is listed in Appendix A, and the program code in C language is listed inAppendix B.

The non-phase-shifted version of the received signal is called the I (for “in-phase”)component. Note that the analytic signal z(t), defined as z(t) = I(t) + jQ(t) (3)contains only positive frequency components. An important learning step for our studentsis to realize that they must account for the group delay of this FIR filter in order to alignthe I component with the Q component of the AM signal. At this

Observations include the following:• For a purely resistive load, Qload = 0, and the excitation leading vars (Qcap) must supplythe machine windings lagging vars, Qmachine = Qstator + Qrotor + Qmag.This is the minimum capacitance required to sustain successful generation of voltage and will bea function of the magnetizing reactance of the machine.• For a purely lagging load, the excitation
