...Communication & Marketing High Velocity Edge The High Velocity Edge was a very hard read for me. I found reading it almost a chore. I do however, from sitting on the sidelines wanting to learn by observing my administrators, understand the basic idea of the book. High Velocity companies lead the way. They have basically worked out all the kinks and foreseen the possibilities of what may or may not occur. They develop a means of communication paired with teamwork, and accountability. One of my favorite comparisons in the book was: “A more appropriate image is the spider web, a complex intertwining of strands. One or another may snap, and the web may hold, but if just the right combination fails, the web snaps. No wonder then that spiders repair rips and tears as they occur, not waiting for the failures to accumulate.” (Spear 15%) I feel this analogy should be the foundation of any business. If you arrive at a wrinkle, you just can’t push it to the side and forget about it. It will eventually resurface and might even be a larger concern. From my experience working in health care, I noticed when there was problem staff, meaning, staff that wouldn’t follow the job description or disguarded the basics of customer service. The administration would overlook the problem instead of writing them up or in servicing them on the proper protocols. However, when new staff came in they would get the proper in-services. The administration would clearly explain to the new...

...Drop Drag And Spray Models Abstract This paper reviews and critiques the published work of Liu et al, “On modeling the effect of drop drag and breakup on Fuel Sprays”. A dynamic drop drag model (DDM) has been coupled to the (TAB) and (KH) spray models. The interaction the (DDM) with these models provides insight into the phenomenon of drop drag and the atomization process. Due to the interaction of the parent drop during interaction with the spray, it is shown that the KH model must be adjusted to account for drag. The (TAB) model, however, remains unaffected by drag given the formulation of its breakup mechanism. The (DDM) also shows that the standard drag model underestimates drop size. And lastly, a critique of the ineffectualness of drop drag on penetration is presented. Introduction Recent studies estimate that twenty-five percent of the world’s energy comes from fuel spray combustion [4]. Given the impact of sprays on the energy industry, spray optimization is crucial to supply the growing demand for energy. Spray and atomization science developed from the ideas prominent scientist like Rayleigh, Kelvin and Helmholtz who were studying liquid jet break-up mechanisms. All modern models incorporate their work in some way. The field is a conglomerate of studies and insights built on break-up mechanisms, drop dynamics, and spray characteristics but a unified theory of atomization still escapes scientist and research engineers. An often neglected phenomenon is drag...

...Chapter 2 Galileo’s Great Discovery: How Things Fall Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), the famous Italian mathematician at the leading edge of the scientific revolution that was to sweep Europe, was curious about motion. He was an experimentalist who for the first time had the insight and talent to link theory with experiment. He rolled balls down an inclined plane in order to see how things fell toward the Earth. He discovered in this way that objects of any weight fell toward the Earth at the same rate – that they had a uniform acceleration. He surmised that if they fell in a vacuum, where there was no air resistance to slow some objects more than others, even a feather and a cannon ball would descend at the same rate and reach the ground at the same time. He also explored the motion of pendulums and other phenomena. He is perhaps most famous for his 1610 telescopic discoveries of the moving moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the craters of the moon, all of which convinced him, against the ages-old wisdom of Aristotle and of the Catholic Church, of the rightness of the Copernican heliocentric view of the solar system. In his investigations of motion, Galileo was the first clearly to understand that the forces acting upon objects could be broken into independent components; that a thrown stone had a force pulling it down as well as the force throwing it horizontally outward. These insights would be of great use to Isaac Newton, born the year Galileo died, in devising the...

Abstract This paper presents solutions for one requirement of autonomous characters in animation and games: the ability to navigate around their world in a life-like and improvisational manner. These “steering behaviors” are largely independent of the particulars of the character’s means of locomotion. Combinations of steering behaviors can be used to achieve higher level goals This paper divides motion behavior into three levels. It will focus on the (For example: get from here to there while avoiding obstacles, follow this corridor, join that group of characters...) middle level of steering behaviors, briefly describe the lower level of locomotion, and touch lightly on the higher level of goal setting and strategy. Introduction Autonomous characters are a type of autonomous agent intended for use in computer animation and interactive media such as games and virtual reality.

...Lab #4: Kinematics - Velocity and Acceleration Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to discover and understand the relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration. Additionally, constant/uniform acceleration due to the force of gravity will be examined to find possible mathematical relationships to position and velocity. Velocity and acceleration are changes in position and velocity, respectively, with regards to time. This change can be shown mathematically in calculus derivatives: EQ 1. EQ 2. As dt decreases in value, the instantaneous velocity and acceleration can also be found. Furthermore, if constant acceleration is established, two basic relations between distance, velocity, and the constant acceleration can be found: EQ 3. EQ 4. In any environment near Earth, the acceleration in the vertical direction is constant at a value of g=9.8m/s2 towards the center of Earth or often written as g=-9.8m/s2. In such an environment there is no natural acceleration in the horizontal direction, thus the horizontal motion is analyzed independently of the vertical motion. Thus it can be established that the general form of a position curve for a projectile would follow an inverse parabola shape and the maximum height occurs when vertical velocity is zero. By calculus derivation, it can also be found that the velocity graph would display a linear line with a negative slope. Procedure: This lab consists of two separate but related experiments...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION A parallel mechanism is a closed-loop mechanism of which the end-effector is connected to the base by a multitude of independent kinematic chains. Generally it comprises two platforms which are connected by joints or legs acting in parallel. In recent years, parallel kinematic mechanisms have attracted a lot of attention from the academic and industrial communities due to their potential applications not only as robot manipulators but also as machine tools. The dream of all developers in Machine Tools has always been to combine the flexibility and envelope of the robots with the accuracy and stiffness of traditional Machine Tools. In the last 20 years the focus of this development has been Parallel Kinematics Machines so called PKM. This technology means that the motions in X, Y and Z are performed by three or more parallel axis that gives an outstanding stiffness and accuracy with a maintained flexibility and envelope. Generally, the criteria used to compare the performance of traditional serial robots and parallel robots are the workspace, the ratio between the payload and the robot mass, accuracy, and dynamic behavior. In addition to the reduced coupling effect between joints, parallel robots bring the benefits of much higher payload-robot mass ratios, superior accuracy and greater stiffness; qualities which lead to better dynamic performance. The main drawback with parallel robots is the relatively small workspace. ...

... Yet it is a topic often overlooked or only cursorily introduced in elementary and middle school science, even though it is a topic typically identified for inclusion in the curriculum for these grades. A primary reason for this is that many teachers do not feel comfortable about their own understanding of the topic. Consequently, this may be the most needed of all of the OPERATION PHYSICS workshops. This workshop leader’s notebook is divided into two parts: PART ONE Motion Part One begins by introducing participants to the concepts of space and time. These concepts are then used in describing simple types of motion. These motions are then classified as accelerated and not accelerated (constant velocity). Emphasis is placed on distinguishing between speed and velocity, between average and instantaneous values and on accelerated motion. This section should not be skipped, for it develops ideas necessary to the understanding of other ideas...

The use of different dampers will inevitably affect the handling and stability of a race car as different dampers will have different characteristics and therefore, the dissipation of kinetic energy in the springs will be different. An onsite damper dynamometer will allow UWAM, University of Western Australia Motorsport team, to readily test their dampers to determine their characteristics and also tune them to their desired properties. A damper dynamometer has been manufactured and a data acquisition software, DAQ, already written by previous years projects. The purpose of this project will be to finalise the damper dynamometer.

...Executive Summary In the system of a bouncing ball there are many factors which influence how the ball bounces. The 5 main components which affect how high the ball will bounce include the initial position of the ball, the initial velocity of the ball, the elasticity of the ball, the gravity of the selected area, and also the temperature of the material in which the ball was made from. These 5 major components of the basic system determine how high the ball bounces and how much energy was lost in the process of bouncing as well as allowing us to determine the relationship between these components and how each of these affects the overall system as a whole. However by changing these components of the system, it will dramatically change the overall results. In the system of a bouncing ball there already at secondary school level, illustrates Newton’s laws of motion and concepts of gravitational energy and kinetic energy with examples of objects dropped or thrown vertically and contains investigative activities about falling objects, the physics and mathematics.
