Computer-aided manufacturing (CAD) systems are being used by engineers to design innovative products and solve manufacturing problems. Software, for instance, is used to save time and insure greater accuracy for molds and solids models. CAD systems allow engineers to retool and analyze multiple variants from tabulated drawings and sketches. Engineers can also save time by creating libraries of user-defined features.

Advances in CAM signal a manufacturing renaissance. (computer-aided manufacturing)
Mechanical Engineering-CIME ; The growing list of features available In computer-aided manufacturing systems is placing more tools in the hands of manufacturing engineers. These tools are inspiring creative approaches to manufacturing problems. Many of the latest advances in computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), such as
Inverted PC Board Plug Provides Flying Connector Capability Wieland Electric Inc.(Wieland Electric SUFK)(Brief Article)(Product Announcement)
Electronic Design ; The SUFK series pc-board connector features inverted contacts. Instead of the typical configuration of the female plug and male header, the SUFK incorporates a male contact in the plug half. This device mates with either the standard female plug for a flying connector, or with the board-mount
Wiring. (Towing Guide & Directory) (Illustration)
Trailer Boats ; Figuring out trailer wiring can be a nightmare. However, it doesn't need to be if you have a basic idea of how a tow vehicle and trailer are wired. By law, you must have running lights (taillights and marker lights), turn signals and brake lights. The way to do that is to tap into the tow vehicle's
Duraline. (Market Watch Lite).
Construction Equipment ; The [MG.sup.2] roadway-lighting breakaway system provides protection against dust and allows for continuous submersion in up to 6 feet of water when capped or mated. The system consists of a molded distribution block, a fused pole plug with waterproof replaceable fuses and a surge arrester. The
Distribution box is industry's smallest
Hydraulics & Pneumatics ; Measuring just 3.0- X 1.81- X EYE 0.75-in., M8 distribution boxes - from Murr Elektronik, Inc., Doylestown, Pa. - are considerably smaller than conventional distribution boxes. This makes them attractive for applications with space is restrictions. In addition, integrated circuitry makes it

Rider ; I would guess that when most people think of southern Arizona in the wintertime, they think of 18 holes of golf while dressed in shorts. Well, not where I ride. In the high desert country in the southeastern corner of the state, overnight lows can run from the mid 20s down into the high teens.
Long and Short of Proper Extension Cord Use // Improper Use Sometimes a Deadly Mistake
Chicago Sun-Times ; Extension cords seem simple to use - but if the cord is the wrong size or type for a job, or if it's improperly used, it can cause a fire. Some local codes forbid extension cord use because they're considered a safety hazard. An extension cord is intended only for temporary duty - unplug and store
