7 Dimensioning Section 7.1 Basic Dimensioning Principles Section 7.2 Dimensioning Techniques 7 Dimensioning Section 7.1 Basic Dimensioning Principles Section 7.2 Dimensioning Techniques Chapter Objectives • Add measurements, notes, and symbols to a technical drawing. • Apply ASME and ISO standards to dimen- sions and notes. • Differentiate between size dimen- sions and location dimensions. • Specify geometric tol- erances using symbols and notes. • Add dimensions to a drawing using board- drafting techniques. • Use a CAD system to add dimensions, notes, and geometric tolerances to a techni- cal drawing. Playing with Plastics Jonathan Ive says that engineers and designers can now do things with plastic that were previously impossible. What are the characteristics of plastic that give it this ability? 214 Drafting Career Jonathan Ive, Engineer What comes to mind when you think of a mobile phone that offers all these features: multimedia player, access to the Internet, camera, text messaging, and visual voicemail? Probably the iPhone designed by Jonathan Ive, senior vice president of industrial design at Apple Inc., and his product design team. Ive, recipient of many awards, is especially proud of what the iPod shuffl e represents. Originally shipped for $79, its aluminum body clips together with a tolerance of ±0.03 mm—remarkable precision. “I don’t think there’s ever been a product produced in such volume at that price … given so much time and care.… I hope that integrity is obvious.” Academic Skills and Abilities • Math • Science • English • Social Studies • Physics • Mechanical Drawing Career Pathways A bachelor’s degree in engineering is required for almost all entry-level engineering jobs. Some engineers must be licensed by all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Beginning engineers usually work under the supervision of experienced engi- neers. Communication skills are important.

  • Spectral Dimensions and Dimension Spectra of Quantum Spacetimes
    PHYSICAL REVIEW D 102, 086003 (2020) Spectral dimensions and dimension spectra of quantum spacetimes † Michał Eckstein 1,2,* and Tomasz Trześniewski 3,2, 1Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, National Quantum Information Centre, Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, University of Gdańsk, ulica Wita Stwosza 57, 80-308 Gdańsk, Poland 2Copernicus Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, ulica Szczepańska 1/5, 31-011 Kraków, Poland 3Institute of Theoretical Physics, Jagiellonian University, ulica S. Łojasiewicza 11, 30-348 Kraków, Poland (Received 11 June 2020; accepted 3 September 2020; published 5 October 2020) Different approaches to quantum gravity generally predict that the dimension of spacetime at the fundamental level is not 4. The principal tool to measure how the dimension changes between the IR and UV scales of the theory is the spectral dimension. On the other hand, the noncommutative-geometric perspective suggests that quantum spacetimes ought to be characterized by a discrete complex set—the dimension spectrum. We show that these two notions complement each other and the dimension spectrum is very useful in unraveling the UV behavior of the spectral dimension. We perform an extended analysis highlighting the trouble spots and illustrate the general results with two concrete examples: the quantum sphere and the κ-Minkowski spacetime, for a few different Laplacians. In particular, we find that the spectral dimensions of the former exhibit log-periodic oscillations, the amplitude of which decays rapidly as the deformation parameter tends to the classical value. In contrast, no such oscillations occur for either of the three considered Laplacians on the κ-Minkowski spacetime. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.102.086003 I.

  • Zero-Dimensional Symmetry
    Snapshots of modern mathematics № 3/2015 from Oberwolfach Zero-dimensional symmetry George Willis This snapshot is about zero-dimensional symmetry. Thanks to recent discoveries we now understand such symmetry better than previously imagined possible. While still far from complete, a picture of zero-dimen- sional symmetry is beginning to emerge. 1 An introduction to symmetry: spinning globes and infinite wallpapers Let’s begin with an example. Think of a sphere, for example a globe’s surface. Every point on it is specified by two parameters, longitude and latitude. This makes the sphere a two-dimensional surface. You can rotate the globe along an axis through the center; the object you obtain after the rotation still looks like the original globe (although now maybe New York is where the Mount Everest used to be), meaning that the sphere has rotational symmetry. Each rotation is prescribed by the latitude and longitude where the axis cuts the southern hemisphere, and by an angle through which it rotates the sphere. 1 These three parameters specify all rotations of the sphere, which thus has three-dimensional rotational symmetry. In general, a symmetry may be viewed as being a transformation (such as a rotation) that leaves an object looking unchanged. When one transformation is followed by a second, the result is a third transformation that is called the product of the other two. The collection of symmetries and their product 1 Note that we include the rotation through the angle 0, that is, the case where the globe actually does not rotate at all. 1 operation forms an algebraic structure called a group 2 .

  • The Datum Reference Frame1 Application of Datums Datums and Datum Reference Frames Are Considered to Be Absolutely Perfect, Which Makes Them Imaginary
    856 SALT LAKE COURT SAN JOSE, CA 95133 (408) 251–5329 The Datum Reference Frame1 Application of Datums Datums and datum reference frames are considered to be absolutely perfect, which makes them imaginary. Measurements cannot be made from theoretical surfaces. Therefore, datums are assumed to exist in and be simulated by processing equipment such as surface plates, gages, machine tables and vises. Processing equipment is not perfect, but is made sufficiently accurately to simulate datums. The three mutually perpendicular planes of a datum reference frame provide origin and direction for measurements from simulated datums to features. Immobilization of a Part Figure 4-1 The three mutually perpendicular intersecting datum planes of a simulated datum reference frame. 1Cogorno, Gene R., Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Mechanical Design, Second Edition, McGraw-Hill, New York, 2011, p. 50. Technical Training Consultants (408) 251-5329 http://www.ttc-cogorno.com Parts are thought to have six degrees of freedom, three degrees of translational freedom and three degrees of rotational freedom. A part can move back and forth in the X direction, in and out in the Y direction, and up and down in the Z direction, and rotate around the X-axis, around the Y-axis, and around the Z-axis as shown in Figure 4-1. A part is oriented and immobilized relative to the three mutually perpendicular intersecting datum planes of the datum reference frame in a selected order of precedence as shown in Figure 4-2. In order to properly place an imperfect, rectangular part in a simulated datum reference frame, the primary datum feature sits flat on one of the planes with a minimum of three points of contact that are not in a straight line.

  • Creating a Revolve
    Always begin your creo session by selecting your working directory If you select working directory at the beginning, that folder will be the default location when you try to open files, as well as when you save files. It makes everything a lot easier if you select your working directory first. For help opening/saving/downloading files see basics, for help creating an extrude see basic solids. Creating a Revolve Open a new part file, name it something unique. Choose a plane to sketch on Go to sketch view (if you don’t know where that is see Basic Solids) Move your cursor so the centerline snaps to the horizontal line as shown above You may now begin your sketch I have just sketched a random shape Sketch Tips: ● Your shape MUST be closed ● If you didn’t put a centerline in, you will get radial instead of diameter dimensions (in general this is bad) ● Remember this is being revolved so you are only sketching the profile on one side of the center line. If you need to put in diameter dimensions: Click normal, click the line or point you want the dimension for, click the centerline, and click the same line/point that you clicked the first time AGAIN, and then middle mouse button where you want the dimension to be placed. After your sketch is done, click the checkmark to get out of sketch, then click the checkmark again to complete the revolve The part in the sketch will look like this: .

  • Why Observable Space Is Three Dimensional
    Adv. Studies Theor. Phys., Vol. 8, 2014, no. 17, 689 – 700 HIKARI Ltd, www.m-hikari.com http://dx.doi.org/10.12988/astp.2014.4675 Why Observable Space Is Solely Three Dimensional Mario Rabinowitz Armor Research, 715 Lakemead Way Redwood City, CA 94062-3922, USA Copyright © 2014 Mario Rabinowitz. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract Quantum (and classical) binding energy considerations in n-dimensional space indicate that atoms (and planets) can only exist in three-dimensional space. This is why observable space is solely 3-dimensional. Both a novel Virial theorem analysis, and detailed classical and quantum energy calculations for 3-space circular and elliptical orbits indicate that they have no orbital binding energy in greater than 3-space. The same energy equation also excludes the possibility of atom-like bodies in strictly 1 and 2-dimensions. A prediction is made that in the search for deviations from r2 of the gravitational force at sub-millimeter distances such a deviation must occur at < ~ 1010m (or < ~1012 m considering muoniom), since atoms would disintegrate if the curled up dimensions of string theory were larger than this. Callender asserts that the often-repeated claim in previous work that stable orbits are possible in only three dimensions is not even remotely established. The binding energy analysis herein avoids the pitfalls that Callender points out, as it circumvents stability issues. An uncanny quantum surprise is present in very high dimensions.
