REFERENCES Page 3 of 25 CHAPTER -1 INTRODUCTION Crankshaft (i.e. a shaft with a crank) is a central component of any internal combustion engine and is used to convert reciprocating motion of the piston into rotatory motion or vice versa. Crankshafts come in many shapes and sizes from small ones found in two-stroke small engines to giant ones found in diesel engines in ships. Crankshafts in automotive engines also vary, each one unique to its engine type and make. The crankshaft main journals rotate in a set of supporting bearings ("main bearings"), causing the offset rod journals to rotate in a circular path around the main journal centers, the diameter of which is twice the offset of the rod journals. The diameter of that path is the engine "stroke": the distance...

...analyzed in order to discover the lack and inappropriate method from the existing system. The management system that is covered in this thesis is specialized to tuition center aspect. The user of this system are staff tuition centre, students, parents and tutors. This system has the ability keep huge data organized, secured and may reduce the uses of papers. The uses of database element can produce more structured system data. Tuition centre management system are going to be developed using the web-based system and a kind of client-server environment.This system will be reducd the inefficiency wat that is currently used. SDLC has been chosen as the method to develop this system which is planning, analysis, design and development, testing and implementation. This methodology is chosen because it attempts to reduce inherent project risk by breaking a project into smaller segments, provides easy to change during the development process and it is suitable used on developing TCMS.

Jesse wants me to recommend a vendor who offers an ERP strategy. I need to review SAP and Oracle Web sites, and at least two others that offer ERP solutions, and reply to her with the results and the reasons for my recommendations. Answers will vary. Students should realize that SCR foresees a dynamic future. With this in mind, an ERP strategy would be highly desirable. Students should have a basic understanding of ERP. When they research on the Internet, students should be able to find more material they can use in their recommendations. For reference purposes, the following screens are provided: [pic] [pic] 2. Visit SCR’s data library to review SCR’s network configuration and then send Jesse a recommendation for the TIMS system architecture. She wants me to suggest an overall client/server design, number of tiers, and network topology. She also asked me to comment on these issues: legacy data, Web-centricity, scalability, security, and batch processing that might be needed. Jesse said it was OK to make reasonable assumptions in my proposal to her. Student answers will vary. Students should start by viewing the SCR network shown in the Data Library.

...Signs Expansion Proposal 1 Signs and Design Business Expansion Proposal Signs Expansion Proposal Signs and Design Business Expansion Proposal E-Commerce Solutions The E-Commerce solution I recommend for Howard Signs and Design to leverage is the Intuit Online Payment System and Payment Network (IPN.intuit.com). This benefits the business because it is inexpensive. There are no setup fees, monthly fees or cancellation fees. Each inbound 2 bank transaction has a flat fee rate of fifty cents for payee and is free for all payers. Automatic bank to bank payments are quick, most are next day. Online invoicing is easy and payment requests can be sent directly to email, pay buttons are available for the business Web site and payment links can be put in invoices, emails, anywhere. Also, this same system can provide outbound payments to suppliers and vendors. This centralizes accounts receivables and accounts payable in one system without anyone else needing a payment network account. It is completely integrated with the current accounting system used by Howard Signs and Design providing seamless reconciliation with QuickBooks. The vendor benefits by earning the transaction fee and integrated revenue from QuickBooks business accounting software and Intuit tax return software which this business currently leverages. Web site banner advertising/affiliate marketing for Intuit as well as social media connections with Howard Signs and Design will also benefit the vendor. Search...

...Chapter – 1 INTRODUCTION The world as we know it today is centered on the workings and ability of the World Wide Web. Internet security, however, is one area of concern and poses one of the biggest challenges to this internet savvy era. Our interaction with the internet has increased to such an extent , that experience, mixed with continued research has taught us that with each such interaction, we are prone to many malicious attacks, security lapses and even extremely skilled hacking operations. The field of Network Security and Cryptography has come a long way in the past decade, but it is safe to say that there is a lot more work to be done. Here we choose to concentrate on Web Applications and we particularly approach them from the developer’s perspective. With every step taken towards better security on the internet, end-users are doing their bit to safeguard their systems and data. However, keeping in mind how commercial and competitive the world we live in has become and the manner in which the market for web related products has grown, it becomes imperative for a developer to ensure that his web application is not just marketable as a breakthrough user friendly concept but also as a secure one. We imagine a world where, every skilled developer is able to make phenomenal applications and is able to provide his users with a large amount of credibility and reliability in terms of security. We aim to conceptualize and subsequently generate a security tool exclusively...
