This article presents the new tools introduced mainly in Standards 1101 and 5459 since 2011 (specific tolerance zones, datum at least material condition, deviation in datum systems, duplication, contacting features, situation features) with examples showing their scope and uses.Some concepts due to be published soon are presented, showing the limits and additions that must be made to meet industrial needs.
Patents currently constitute the best living encyclopedia. They thus constitute a critical documentary fund for companies, but also for researchers and research laboratories. Therefore, patent monitoring is a necessity.Currently many patent sources are available, the majority of them being free, with obviously particularities due to the indexing or coverage of these sources. On the other hand, the number of patents being in strong growth, the user finds himself comforted by a growing number of notices which has led to the development of computerized analytical processing.In this article we present a set of sources (mostly free) as well as examples of patent corpus analysis. From this set we then show how patent information can be effectively used in Technology Watch.
Des règles de l’art à l’art des règles, les normes énoncent des exigences sur les produits et les services. Elles formulent également des vocabulaires et proposent des standards d’organisation outrepassant le domaine de la technique pour énoncer les règles d’un droit virtuel.Ces normes techniques qui nous entourent dans la vie de tous les jours se confondent souvent avec les normes juridiques. Le présent article rappelle la portée et la valeur juridique des normes techniques. Pour le quotidien d'un ingénieur, les normes sont présentes à toutes les étapes du développement d’un produit.Cet article s’attache à proposer une prise en compte et un usage approprié des normes dans le processus de développement de produits.
Artifacts bear witness to technological, economic and social developments. One see complexity as much as richness linked to product design : estimate the challenges in their societal, industrial and environmental fields and propose technical, functional, aesthetic responses to them that meet the user needs and companies constraints during the life cycle of the product.Industrial design belongs to the innovation field by contribution to bridge the gap from invention to implementation for the benefit of stakeholders. This « sustainable » innovation section, recalls the fundamentals of product design and adds to it the challenges of the current world such as digital, globalization, ecology, risk prevention, following a quality approach.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has grown considerably in recent years. The gradual transition from prototyping activities to direct manufacturing of functional parts undermines traditional methods of design and manufacturing based on conventional methods. This article focuses on the different AM technologies and fields of use throughout product life cycles. Various industrial applications are described through examples from the advanced technology sector.
The contemporary economic context and in particular sustainable development challenges the traditional representation of the market economy. Indeed, the offer is not to be considered as an instant transaction, that is to say punctual, and the balance between utilization and usage does not solely concern the private sphere any longer. The economy has become functional. It therefore obliged to define the desired finality prior to any economic transaction, which must stand the test of time. The taking into account of this sustainability fights against the obligation for an immediate profitability. This article presents the components of the functional economy. After having examined the reasons for recoursing to this type of transaction, it also details the conditions of implementation.
Monitor internet with twitter, social networks, blogs and other websites requires step by step watch on the internet, using a method associated with Tools, resources and teams of employees. Practical methods are proposed and many tools are explored (buzz, twitters, e-reputation, social bookmarking, search engine people, curation, productivity tools, mapping). A selection of IT tools is available with monitoring software, mirroring software and competitive intelligence online solutions. Finally, we propose a structured approach, organized and controlled with dashboards.
In this article, we study the dynamic behavior of discrete event systems in a particular algebraic structure called dioid algebra. This specific structure enables linear behavior of a category of systems modeled by a class of Petri nets involving synchronization and delay phenomena. For these systems, we build the mathematical model governing their dynamic evolution in dioid algebra, and address the issue of performance evaluation and resource allocation.
