The measuring station consists of twopneumatic cylinders, one to clamp the part and the other attached to an LVDT to take themeasurement of the part feature. There is also an optical sensor, which senses the presence orabsence of the part on the measuring station. The field I/O interface consists of three modules,the network module, the input module and the output module. These modules act as the interfacebetween the computer and the other components of the experimental cell.IV.

activation process in humans because those with latent TB are asymptomatic and are often undiagnosed. Animal and human studies currently cannot probe the dynamicsof activation, so a computational approach is proposed to fill this gap. No computational approach has been proposed considering the dynamics of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1)regulation and its impact on TB activation. MMP-1 dysregulation has been recently implicated in TB activation through experimental studies, but the mechanism is not well understood. Theoverall objective of the study is to predict TB cavity formation (a hallmark of activation) in response to the dynamics of MMP-1 dysregulation.14.

This possibility opens the prospect of computers that willcompete with and surpass the full range of human capabilities. And at that point, whichaccording to Kurzweil is only a few decades away, we will be able to use "reverseengineering" to examine and replicate the brain layer by layer, synapse by synapse,neuron by neuron.The implications for scientific research are tremendous.

Anadditional 3-credit course, computation tools, was added to the curriculum by eliminating a largelyredundant course in solid mechanics. The computation tools class is taken first in the sequence.The net result of these changes are more credit hours devoted to hands-on practice, more exposureto modern engineering systems, and implementation of current pedagogical best practice.(i) The
