This reference guide was originally prepared in 1990 as a convenient pocket sized resource for use in Injection Molding. This information is most useful by personnel who work in the injection molding field including press operators, technicians, engineers, designers, mold builders, etc.There are many reference data tables regarding plastics data, statistical methods, engineering calculations and valuable training for personnel in the IM industry. The book includes basic part design, trig tables, calculations for thermal expansion, thermal exp coeffs, SHCS data, torque specs, shrink data, cooling time equation, mold debug guidelines, melt index data, resin density data, many tables of process guidelines, process development techniques, calculating heat load & water flow requirements, pipe data, conversion factors, transformer & motor current, PM & safety, basic statistics, equip selection guidelines and more.This 4th Edition has been reformatted at 5.5 inches wide x 8.5 inches tall in 2011 for print sales.

The IM Troubleshooting Guide was originally prepared in 1996 as a 48 page convenient pocket sized resource for use in Injection Molding. This information is most useful by personnel who work in the injection molding field including press operators, technicians, engineers, etc. This 3rd ED is at 104 pages and includes selected extra pages from other APEBOOKS that are helpful in process set up and troubleshooting.This book includes many useful definitions and tips for troubleshooting molding problems -- both process and tooling related. The book was written based on many years of process engineering. The solutions for correcting process problems are listed in the best order to solve the problem based on factors such as ease & timeliness to perform versus cost to implement and always considering effectiveness to solve problem. It is also useful to identify a common set of definitions for each department to use when discussing these common molding defects. Tips are often provided as to which defects may be process correctable versus those requiring product or mold changes.An introduction to DOE and dimensional nominalization is made, but discussed in greater detail in some of the other booklets written by this author for injection molding ... these are listed later in this book ... a total of six books have been written for injection molding.

In recent years, brushless DC motors and controllers have begun an unparalleled triumph in model construction and in all technical fields. This book is intended to show how a brushless motor works. The basic principle is discussed first, before all the key terms such as kV and rpm/V, operating voltage, load and idle current, torque, turns, electrical and mechanical power, losses, efficiency, etc. are explained. A brushless motor can't work without a brushless controller, it requires a three-phase AC voltage. To increase the speed properly, the controller must have information on the rotor position. This can be done by Hall sensors or directly via the motor windings. All that will be taken into account in the book.

This book is aimed to the shortwave listener, who is interested in digital signals. On more than 400 pages with many figures and tables the reader is introduced to the world of signal analysis. The book shall help a shortwave listener to identify digital radio signals. The different waveforms are explained and methodes are described how to analyse and retreave their main parameter. This includes for example the determination of the baud rate of an amplitude shift keying ASK, the measurement of the symbol rate of a phase shift keying PSK, the analysis of the parameter of one carrier of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing OFDM or the identification of the different values of a frequency hopping signal. The reader is shown that the same methodes used for determination of a continous frequency shift keying FSK can be used for a frequency hopping system with short bursts. Step by step the reader gets an introduction to the different methods for measurement of the main parameter of a waveform. Comprehensive tables like i.e. used alpabets, protocols, coding or designation of emissions are helping to identify the different waveforms on shortwave.

Usability Assessment is a concise volume for anyone requiring knowledge and practice in assessing the usability of any type of product, tool, or system before it is launched.

If asked, most people would agree that there are deep connections between technology and the modern world, and even that technology is the truly distinctive feature of modernity. Until recently, however, there has been surprisingly little overlap between technology studies and modernity theory. The goal of this ambitious book is to lay the foundations for a new interdisciplinary field by closely examining the co-construction of technology and modernity.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I lays the methodological groundwork for combining studies of technology and modernity, while integrating ideas drawn from feminism, critical theory, philosophy, sociology, and socioeconomics. Part II continues the methodological discussion, focusing on specific sociotechnical systems or technologies with prominent relations to modernity. Part III introduces practical and political issues by considering alternative modes of technology development and offering critiques of modern medicine, environmental technology, international development, and technology policy. The book as a whole suggests a broad research program that is both academic and applied and that will help us understand how contemporary societies can govern technologies instead of being governed by them.

Behind each shot there lies an idea or purpose. When setting up a shot, the camera operator can employ a range of visual techniques that will clearly communicate the idea to an audience. Composition is the bedrock of the operator's craft, yet is seldom taught in training courses in the belief that it is an intuitive, personal skill. Peter Ward shows how composition can be learned, to enhance the quality of your work.

Based on the author's own practical experience, the book deals with the methods available for resolving practical production questions such as:

Does the shot composition accurately reflect the idea that initiated the shot?
Will the content and method of presenting the subject accurately convey the idea?

Major innovations in television and film production since the previous edition have affected the styles of composition, such as wide-screen and the use of mini DV cameras. These new technologies and their implications for picture composition are addressed in this new edition. A new colour plate section is also being included to update the section on colour.

If you are a practising camera operator, trainee camera operator, student or lecturer on a television or film production course, or simply a video enthusiast wishing to progress to a more professional standard you will find this book essential in enhancing the quality of your work.
