The changes at Ford initiated by CEO Mulally, a former aerospace guy, have meant the difference between death for the automaker and merely being sick Almost 30 months after Alan R. Mulally left Boeing (BA) to become chief executive of Ford Motor (F), it's still easy to peg him as an industry outsider. Talking to Wall Street analysts in November, Mulally described the debut of the tiny, fuel-sipping Ford Ka at the "Paris Air Show" when he meant the "Paris Motor Show." Earlier this year, Mulally showed

ABSTRACT The mechanical properties of composite materials are strongly dependent on micro structural parameters of the system. The evolution of microstructure depends largely on the cooling rate during phase change. Though the microstructure evolution depends on many process parameters, the final structure is decided by cooling conditions during solidifications. The mould material has a decided effect on the structure formation. The use of end chills during casting not only favours directional solidification

Input-Output Devices in Aviation David Campbell Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Computer input-output technology is being used increasingly more in the aviation field every day. This is especially true for communication between pilots in the air, and air traffic controllers on the ground, allowing them to communicate through text messages. Previously, the only way to communicate was by talking over the radio on VHF frequency. This technology is a great benefit to pilots and controllers

Overview[edit] Developed to help electronics manufacturers detect product defects and production flaws, ESS is widely used in military and aerospace applications, less so for commercial products. The tests need not be elaborate, for example, switching an electronic or electrical system on and off a few times may be enough to catch some simple defects that would otherwise be encountered by the end user very soon after the product was first used. Tests typically include the following: Temperature

Phoenix, Arizona in April of 2008, it attracted some 500 health care professionals from around the world, and the packed house at Arizona Grand Resort made it clear that Taubes was a headliner. The writer, trained in applied physics at Harvard and aerospace engineering at Stanford, specializes in parsing hot science controversies in articles and books (such as 1993's Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion). He is widely credited with kicking off the national low-carb diet trend with

in rocket technology stems from the experiments made during World War II. In the 1940's when Nazi Germany was in a position of facing defeat, Hitler was holding on to one project which was unknown to the world - the V-2 rocket program. A German aerospace engineer named Wehnher Von Braun was recruited by the Nazi party to design a rocket which could be used as a weapon to destroy Germany's enemies from long distance ranges. In 1944, Nazi Germany launched a series of its V-2 rockets against its enemies
