...advances in smart technology, agriculture, industrial modernization and expansion of the scale, grain and oil machinery where what should the innovation from it? Only adapt to the market, continue to update the existing production lines, extend the industrial chain, the development of new products and achieve self-improvement. Particularly important point is that innovation can not cart before the horse, must meet consumer demand. Henan Grain and Oil Processing Machinery "go out" came a major positive: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in African countries Poverty Conference held in June this year on the recommendation of our province will focus on grain and oil processing enterprises in production of advanced machinery. "The development of agriculture, one by the policy, and on the technology, the three by investment, but the three most can tap the inherent potential and the future development and play a supportive role in the drive, or the science and technology 'first productive force." For the construction of an innovative country, there must be a number of world-class research institutions, research universities and innovative enterprises. For Chinese enterprises, innovation is not an unfamiliar topic. But a long time, a problem has plagued Chinese companies, that is: in the end what they innovate. We always sure sense technology. No technological innovation, product build will be unable to implement, businesses will lose space and participate in market competition...

...A Conversation with W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne authors of BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY 1) What is a blue ocean strategy? Kim & Mauborgne: Blue Ocean Strategy is a way to make the competition irrelevant by creating a leap in value for both the company and its customers. 2) What are red and blue oceans, and why do you use the colors red and blue? Kim & Mauborgne: We use the terms red and blue oceans to describe the market universe. Red oceans are all the industries in existence today—the known market space. In the red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are known. Here companies try to outperform their rivals to grab a greater share of existing demand. As the market space gets crowded, prospects for profits and growth are reduced. Products become commodities, and cutthroat competition turns the red ocean bloody. Hence, the term “red” oceans. Blue oceans, in contrast, denote all the industries not in existence today—the unknown market space, untainted by competition. In blue oceans, demand is created rather than fought over. There is ample opportunity for growth that is both profitable and rapid. In blue oceans, competition is irrelevant because the rules of the game are waiting to be set. Blue ocean is an analogy to describe the wider, deeper potential of market space that is not yet explored. Like the “blue” ocean, it is vast, deep, powerful, in terms of profitable growth, and infinite...

...Future of nuclear energy, what countries use it most, other uses for nuclear energy (bombs) Future of nuclear energy: Increasing energy demand, plus concerns over climate change, dependence on overseas supplies of fossil fuels and the security of supply are coinciding to make the case for increasing use of nuclear power. Nuclear energy is the perfect way for the demands of electricity. It seems that Nuclear energy will become a much bigger source of energy in the future, many countries such as India and China are planning on building many nuclear power plants. China is embarking upon a huge increase in nuclear capacity to 58 GWe( Gigawatts of electricity) by 2020; India's target is to add 20 to 30 new reactors by 2030. A WNA projection shows at least 1100 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2060, and possibly up to 3500 GWe, compared with 373 GWe today. Countries that use it most: Most of the increased capacity (over 80%) will be in countries which already use nuclear power. Currently there are 436 Nuclear reactors in the world, and 73 under construction. Of the thirty countries in which nuclear power plants operate, only France, Belgium and Slovakia use them as the primary source of electricity. United States has 104 Nuclear reactors, and 5 under construction, France has 58 Nuclear reactors, and 1 under construction, Russia has 33 Nuclear reactors, and 10 under construction, Japan had 54 Nuclear reactors however after Fukushima Japan shut down all of its 54 nuclear reactors...

...benchmarking, building competitive advantages, and beating the competition. Such focus on the competition traces back to corporate strategy’s roots in military strategy. The very language of corporate strategy is deeply imbued with military references—chief executive “officers” in “headquarters,” “troops” on the “front lines,” and fighting over a defined battlefield.1 Industrial organization (IO) economics gave formal expression to the prominent importance of competition to firms’ success. IO economics suggests a causal flow from market structure to conduct and performance.2 Here, market structure, given by supply and demand conditions, shapes sellers’ and buyers’ conduct, which, in turn, determines end performance.3 The academics call this the structuralist view, or environmental determinism. Taking market structure as given, much as military strategy takes land as given, such a view drives companies to try to carve out a defensible position against the competition in the existing market space. To sustain themselves in the marketplace, practitioners of strategy focus on building advantages over the competition, usually by assessing what competitors do and striving to do it better. Here, grabbing a bigger share of the market is also seen as a zero-sum game in which one company’s gain is achieved at another company’s loss. Hence,...

...are what people made to serve the humankind, and they are becoming one of the greatest disruptive innovation. The top three most famous robots are the Asimo, Kawada HRP-4 and Alderbaran Nao. When we talk about robotics, android, humanoid and cyborg are always mentioned. These terms are part of robotics. In this report, we will identify and analyze the use of robotics in human lives, and clearly understand why robotics have become disruptive technology. History and Context The original meaning of the word robot comes from a Slavic word "robota", which means labor (Wikipedia). The Maschinenmensch (machine-human) was the first depiction of robot to appear on film in 1927. Moreover, In 1942, Issac Asimov formulated his Three Laws of Robotics, and in 1948, Norbert Wiener formulated the principles of cybernetics, the basis of practical robotics (Wikipedia). In other word, the principles of cybernetics were the base for the development of robotics. Historically, many inventions such as the steam engine by James Watt can be considered as the first step of the robot's developmental progress. Recently, there are many robotic development such as the cute-looking humanoid iCub that can play children's games, Reeti with the ability to perceive and react to human emotion, and Molly - the elderly helper. Robotics are being used in business in order to help perform tasks that are too dangerous, laborious, or time-consuming for human to do it. Description of Technology Next, what are...

...Resizing Technology By Esther Lin, Product Manager, Industrial Display Solutions Digital signage is an innovative medium for targeted information, entertainment, promotions and advertising, delivered in visually rich multimedia formats designed to attract consumers. Since digital signage so ubiquitous these days, people no longer ask what it is because digital signage has matured into a fully developed, versatile product that has adapted to many different applications and environments. Applications are constantly diversifying and we are now seeing semi-transparent digital signage displays (with products inside), large-format multi-touch displays, video walls, and tiles (smaller displays that can be configured in new ways), and interactive digital signage that aims to give consumers a more fun, educational and enhanced customer experience that helps drive sales. Digital signage displays now come in unusual shapes or configurations but 42" and above are the most common sizes. However, large-sized displays with conventional aspect ratios have limitations— in locations where they are restricted in height or physical space, like on elevators, buses, or in the transportation and medical markets. LED signages seem to be a good fit for these kinds of space-limited applications; however, LEDs are usually heavy, power consuming, and display low-resolution images. www.advantech.com LCD Panel Resizing Technology For space limited requirements, panel resizing technology is a highly...

...move goods from suppliers to customers, while meeting the customer’s demands in a timely manner. Things involved in warehousing are receiving of material, storage of material, inventory of material, packaging of material, and the manpower needed to perform the tasks along with the equipment. You also need to consider the training needed for these jobs and for the equipment involved in the jobs. There are a lot of important steps in warehousing in order to keep the customer satisfied. Everything must be done correctly to save time and to keep track of all material. Introduction Warehousing is a big part of logistics. Warehousing as many different responsibilities and functions. What is involved in warehousing is not only storage, which is what most people think. There is a lot more to it than that. Warehousing involves receiving material, storing material, inventorying material, picking material, packaging and shipping material. It also involves training to do these things plus training to operate the equipment required to accomplish the things listed above. Safety is also a big issue in warehousing and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has some say in how a warehouse is run. It has several regulations that a warehouse has to be familiar with and go by. Purpose of Warehousing I find that the purpose of a warehouse is broke down to the factor that the demand and expectations of the customers' must be met in a timely manner...

Based on this study, we are making a report which will be benefited to students who will study the subject INDUSTRIAL FLUID POWER. Working model is useful in our laboratory & useful for better understanding the working of gear pump to the student in future. Chapter 1 BASICS OF PUMPS 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 What are pumps and pumping systems? Pump is a device which is used to pumping the fluid at various heights. It is similar to the heart in the human body. A hydraulic pump is a mechanical device which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. It provides the force necessary to move a liquid, thus transmitting power. Pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand and range from 25-50% of the energy usage in certain industrial plant operations. Pumps have two main purposes: Transfer of liquid from one place to another place (e.g. water from an underground aquifer into a water storage tank) Circulate liquid around a system (e.g. cooling water or lubricants through machines and equipment) The main components of a pumping system are: Pumps (different types of pumps are...

...Why was central planning abandoned in Eastern Europe and the USSR? Abstract “If a universal mind existed, of the kind that projected itself into the scientific fancy of Laplace – a mind that could register simultaneously all the processes of nature and society, that could measure the dynamics of their motion, that could forecast the results of their inter-reactions – such a mind, of course, could a priori draw up a faultless and exhaustive economic plan. The bureaucracy often imagines that just such a mind is at its disposal; that is why it so easily frees itself from the control of the market and of Soviet democracy.” Thesis statement The words of Leon Trotsky, said decades before the eventual demise of central planning, highlight the underlying flaw of the planned economic system; lack of information. The central planner’s realized that the information and signaling required for any modern economy could be found more effectively in a market based system and consequentially central planning was abandoned. The systemic failure of central planning due to poor information was most prevalent in Eastern Europe and the USSR, as evidenced by their economy’s productive inefficiencies, allocative inefficiencies and pricing difficulties. This essay will classify the traditional soviet economy and examine the production, allocation and pricing difficulties which caused its end. The Soviet Model Ericson describes the traditional soviet system as “one of centralized planning, implemented...
