Establish the CNC machining strategy in relation with geometric complexity of the parts made from aluminum alloy extruded profile
In this paper we present a technological problem encountered in the machining accuracy of the parts for aerospace made of aluminum alloy extruded profile with length up to 10 meters. Those parts have very tight tolerances and on milling process appear several factors that influence the repeatability of machining processes. Several factors must be c...

LabVIEW application for motion tracking using USB camera
The technical state of the contact line and also the additional equipment in electric rail transport is very important for realizing the repairing and maintenance of the contact line. During its functioning, the pantograph motion must stay in standard limits. Present paper proposes a LabVIEW application which is able to track in real time the motio...

Innovative methods of popularizing technical education
There have been analyzed reasons of the loss of technical education's popularity. Also, the analysis of known educational and production methods, oriented at the innovative model of development of society, was performed. It is stated that the acquisition of 21st century's skills as a result of competition of technical education are natural for the ...

Safety of the shaft-wheel assembly of electric locomotives
Shafts of electric locomotives are exposed to complex normal and tangential stresses during its exploitation. These stresses could have extremely high level producing the breakage of the shaft. It is well known that shafts have much longer service life than wheels. However, since the stresses in shaft’s material are high, it is possible to mi...

Allelopathy relationship between plants and their use in organic farming
Allelopathy is a process still little studied in the plant world, if we refer to the diversity of biochemical compounds, through which plants can interact with each other, with fungi or bacteria. Biochemical "dialogue" between organisms may have stimulatory or inhibitory effects, contributing to numerical setting of the populations, the assertion o...

The possibility of developing hybrid PV/T solar system
An alternative and cost-effective solution to developing integrated PV system is to use hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar system. The temperature of PV modules increases due to the absorbed solar radiation that is not converted into electricity, causing a decrease in their efficiency. In hybrid PV/T solar systems the reduction of PV module t...

Automated assembling of single fuel cell units for use in a fuel cell stack
The manufacturing of PEMFC stacks (POLYMER ELEKTROLYT MEMBRAN Fuel Cell) is nowadays still done by hand. Over hundreds of identical single components have to be placed accurate together for the construction of a fuel cell stack. Beside logistic problems, higher total costs and disadvantages in weight the high number of components produce a higher s...

Influence of typical faults over the dynamic behavior of pantograph- catenary contact force in electric rail transport
The quality of electric energy capture and also the equipment operational safety depend essentially of the technical state of the contact line (CL). The present method for determining the technical state of CL based on advance programming is no longer efficient, due to the faults which can occur into the not programmed areas. Therefore, they cannot...

Factors that increase the electric field of the dielectric barrier ozone generators
The dielectric barrier discharge cell (DBDC), also called ozone cell, is the main component of the ozone generators widely used. When the cell is powered with a high voltage value (> 5 kV) in the dielectric gas, arises a high intensity electric field that influences ozone generation processes by silent discharge also called dielectric barrier di...
