Learning Step/Activity 1: Identify the Permaswage toolkit Method of Instruction Conference Instructor to Student Ratio 1:8 Time of Instruction (Minutes) 00:05 Media Power Point References TM 1-1500-204-23-2 & SOP: AS 374-401 Security Classification Unclassified a. Definition: The Permaswage system is a tube connecting system that mechanically attaches a Permaswage fitting to a tube by radial swaging. 1. The system is used to make permanent and separable connections between metal tubes. 2. It works by deforming the metal fitting onto a tube radially, 360° around the circumference. 3. The interference between the fitting and tube produce a leak resistant seal that is structurally sound. 4. This system can be used to produce new tubing systems, or to repair existing ones. 5. Because the system is simple and lightweight, it can be used on or off aircraft. Question: What can you produce using the Permaswage system? Answer: New tubing or repairs to existing tubing. Question: What does the interference between the fitting and tube produce? Answer: Leak resistant seal b. Basic components 1. The Permaswage kit is powered by a hand operated pump. Pump includes pressure gauge, pressure relief knob, hydraulic quick disconnect and pressure relief valve (factory preset @ 10,000 psi +/- 250 psi. 2. Power unit, head assembly and lower die block...

...Ch. 02 - Tastykake Sensables. The sensables products compares to the new products process in this chapter in that a critic found that Tastykakes would not find the Sensables line to be an acceptable substitute. However, at the end of the Sensables presentation she received a standing ovation and was told this is a winner.. I wouldn’t question anything Tastykake did. I do think the Sensables line will succeed because of the diabetic consumers. Sensables are low sugar, Tastykakes are not. This opens the product up to the diabetic market. Ch. 02 - The Levacor Heart Pump. World Heart’s new products process is similar to what is outlined in this chapter. World Heart identified and selected an opportunity in the need for a heart pump. They generated a concept and evaluated it. They are currently in their development phase. The problems they may face at time of launch are whether or not the pump would be gentle enough not to rupture blood cells. The uncertainties that exist are whether or not the magnetic levitation heart pump would meet the long term industry standard. World Heart can use today’s micro tech ology to exist in managing any uncertainties. Ch. 03 - New Product Strategy at Kellogg. Smores grain bars.

...center we were able to discover that many of them were eager to learn about hypertension, the reasons for their medications, and effects. They were very interested and just needed some clarification on the subject. There is a knowledge deficit in the community related to hypertension as evidence of personal communication. They voiced that their knowledge on the subject was very limited and needed more understanding. So by the end of the presentation that was given regarding hypertension they will be able to demonstrate understanding of what hypertension is and how to prevent or manage hypertension. We will measure the success of the education by handing the members pre and post exams as well as verbal surveys. The style of teaching will be visual, as well as audio. The members voiced that they learned best when there are visuals. They expressed that too much talking can bore them but if they are engaged there is a greater chance that they will grasp the concept. On June 19th 2012 at 11:25 am, my colleagues and I conducted a fifteen minute presentation on high blood pressure management for the members at the Senior Stein Center. Sixteen members participated in the teaching session, the member’s age range from 60 and up, male and female both participated, the race and ethnicities consisted of African American, Caucasian, Hispanic, and Asian. To determine the learning needs of that particular group, we provided a pretest prior to the teaching session; the pretest consists of five questions...

...ACCOUNTING 603 FALL 2012 Tijuana Bronze Machining (TBM) As time goes by, it becomes clear to me that our competitors are crazy. Pumps are a major product in a big market for all of us, but with the prevailing price cutting mentality no one will be able to sell pumps profitably as long as we all are forced to match each other’s lower prices. I guess we should be grateful that competitors don’t play the same foolish game in valves and flow controllers. Even with the 12 ½% price increase, we don’t see any new competition in flow controllers. Herb Alpert, President THE COMPANY TMB was established by Alpert in 1984 when he purchased a moribund commercial machine shop on the California coast south of San Diego. He had sensed an opportunity in a conversation with the president of a large manufacturer of water purification equipment who was dissatisfied with the quality of bronze valves available. He formed a partnership with Les Paul, locally famous for the high-quality bronze boat fittings he manufactured for the fishing fleet along the Southern California and Baja Coast. Alpert had recently retired from the United States Air Force, where he had a long record of administrative successes. The two then selected Mary Ford, an accountant with manufacturing experience, to join them. Paul was quick to analyze the nature of problems other manufacturers were having with water purification valves. Since the tolerances needed were small, maintaining them required great...

...Diabetes Speaker Notes Slide 2- This presentation will discuss the goals of Healthy People 2020 with the focus of the presentation on Diabetes. It will define diabetes and the age groups affected by the illness. We will discuss the reason the Red Group felt this focus area was important. The presentation will identify ways to enhance or optimize diabetic health. Health disparities among different populations in the United States will be discussed. Community resources will be identified for patient and family education. The American Diabetic Association will be discussed as well as some of the programs they offer. Slide 3- Healthy People provides Science Based, 10 year national objectives for improving health of all Americans. Healthy People for three decades has set national goals and monitored them to encourage collaborations across communities and sectors, empower individuals toward making informed health decisions, and measure the impact of prevention activities. (Healthy People. gov, n.d.) Slide 4- We felt this was an important topic because diabetes affects all age groups from children, teens, young adults, pregnant women to older adults. This disease doesn't discriminate who it attacks. Diabetes involves multi-organ body systems including the eyes, vascular system, and urinary system. Many Americans have lost their vision, limbs, kidney function and even their life to this disease. We felt education is important because many people still don’t know what diabetes...

...sun. This energy keeps the temperature of the earth above than in colder space, causes current in the atmosphere and in ocean. It causes the water cycle and generates photosynthesis in plants. The solar power where sun hits atmosphere is 1017 W. The solar power on the surface of earth is 1016W. The total worldwide power demand of all needs of civilization is 1013W. Therefore, the sun gives us 1000 times more power than we need. If we can use 5% of this energy, it will be 50 times what the world will require. Electrical Energy that can be produced from the solar energy by photovoltaic solar cells. SPV cell converts the solar energy directly to electrical energy. The most significant applications of SPV cells in India are the energization of pump sets for irrigation, drinking water supply and rural electrification covering street lights, community TV sets, medical refrigerators and...
