The Institute was executed by International Labour Organisation (ILO).The Precision machinery and Equipment was donated by UNDP and the faculty were trained abroad in the area of tool engineering. The UNDP experts stayed at CITD for about 5years and trained officers‚ faculty &staff of CITD in manufacture and design of tooling. The main objectives of the institute are: CENTRAL INSTITUTE OF TOOL DESIGN * Training

Experiments In OMNeT++ model behavior is captured in C++ files as code while model topology is defined by the NED files. This approach allows to keep the different aspects of simulation in different places thus allowing to have cleaner model and better tooling support. The different inputs for the simulation are stored in the INI files. INI files provide a great way to specify how the parameters change during the

Fred Bodman Mr. Shawn Welch ENG-101-BR6 04 April 2013 Tough Bits Drilling is the quickest process of removing lots of material. Physical properties of material have a wide range of characteristics and need to have the appropriate drill composition to work properly and efficiently. Many different materials are used for or on drill bits‚ depending on the required application. Many hard materials‚ such as carbides‚ are much more brittle than steel and are far more subject to breaking‚ especially if

First of all‚ the company should apply a patent for this new cushion pad. Since it is not a very advanced technology‚ if it goes public without having a patent‚ competitors must copy this technology. Therefore‚ the company should get the patent as soon as possible to ensure that it will be the only supplier of this technology and hence make the maximum profit. After that‚ to price this product‚ the company should apply the concept of perceived value to customers and make sure customers perceive

also known as additive manufacturing‚ uses computer-aided designs to create an object. It is a process of making 3D objects using plastic‚ metal‚ and composite materials‚ usually layer upon layer‚ to build physical models‚ prototypes‚ patterns‚ tooling components‚ and production parts. A 3D printer creates 3D objects of any shape without any molding‚ assembly‚ or use of machines. It helps in making high-end goods at a reduced cost. In the Automotive and Aerospace sectors‚ the use of 3D printing

How does temperature affect the rate of reaction for Lipase? As the temperature increases‚ so will the rate of enzyme reaction. However‚ as the temperature exceeds the optimum the rate of reaction will decrease. I predict that at temperatures above 70°C the enzyme lipase will become denatured and at temperatures below 10°C the enzyme will become inactive. Since lipase operates within the human body I’d also predict that its optimum temperature would be around human body temperature which is approximately
