1. What are UPS “Smart Labels?” What role do they play in UPS operations? UPS Smart Labels are bar coded labels that are used to initiate a UPS transaction. The bar code label contains all the key information about the customer, the package size, destination and weight. This information is sent immediately to a UPS processing center at the very time it is created with a UPS drivers hand held computer (the DIAD IV). The smart labels become the control document used throughout the transaction right

The use of batteries in the modern days has become an essential need for a wide range of electrical devices and products that are globally used. Batteries are convenient sources being used from household applications such as toys, remote controls, torch lights to large industrial operations. Not only batteries supply convenient power sources, it has a significant role as a back-up power in critical needs such as in hospitals, airports and military undertakings. Batteries come in different size and

hydrogen penetrates into the material. Basically it is a type of failure, the brittle fracture occurs as the cracks grow and rapidly propagate. HE is very similar to stress corrosion in that a normally ductile metal is exposed to a stress and a corrosive atmosphere. For HE to occur some source of Hydrogen has to be present and also there must be a possibility of formation of its atomic species. High strength steels are very susceptible to HE and increasing the materials strength tends to enhance the

Transforming Ordinary Water to Extraordinary Water For my project, I wanted to focus on an issue that is current in today’s society. Much of the world lives without access to clean water, this is something most people forget and take for granted. This semester I decided to stop buying cases of bottled water, and start to only use a Brita. Buying a bottle of water is something that I have never thought twice about. During my day when I am on campus I will normally buy at least two-three water

extract data on the material properties one specimen (aluminum), using a mechanically driven universal testing machine (UTM). The material properties include the following: the elastic modulus, 0.2% offset yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, modulus of rupture, modulus of resilience, as well as true strain and true stress at the point of rupture. Theory: Certain materials (those that are linear, homogeneous, elastic, and isotropic) can be described by their material properties. These

thing. In fact I think everyone should recycle to make the earth a better place as a whole. A few good reasons why recycling is a good this is, the more people recycle, the less room is filled in landfills. Also, when people recycle they are reusing materials, therefore saving resources. Another good reason is that when you recycle often times you get paid back the C.R.V. that you already paid for in the grocery store. If everyone recycled think of how much more space there would be in landfills across

History Bomb detection has been as issue throughout history since the inception of mass detonation devices. At first the main method was through looking at the shape of the device since the explosives were large and had a defined look based on the materials, detonation device and such. Usually it was done after the fact by searching for the components, explosive residue and such to look for a specific trait of a bomb maker or type of explosive used. It has always been the driven by the research for

using Nb/Cu/Ni multi-interlayer," Materials Characterization, vol. 68, pp. 82-87, 2012 Diffusion bonding is a method of joining metallic or non-metallic materials. This method produces solid-state coalescence between two materials through the application of pressure at a temperature range between 0.5 of the absolute melting temperature of the material and the room temperature under a low pressure without causing a macroscopic plastic deformation in the material [1, 2]. Since diffusion bonding is

Introduction The following is a basic report with regards to three specific questions which will be answered, centered on material studies. The first question is based around work hardening, the changes in the atomic structure as a result thereof and the reason why some materials are more susceptible to work hardening than others. The second question is based on the process of embrittlement, as well as listing a few different ways in which embrittlement can occur. The third and last question is

Highlight on My Research Background Overview : Polymeric Composite has emerged as a new technology for innovation of new materials with low cost, high durability, more effectiveness, moreover reduction of environmental pollution. Leather industry is one of the highly environmental pollution creating industry. Solid wastes are being generated from the tanneries 88 metric tons/day on an average basis in my country, Bangladesh. In my research work I have attempted to reuse, recycle the leather waste
