CONT

An energy performance contract(EPC) is a performance-based financing mechanism that enables a client organization to leverage the technical and financial capacity of an energy service company(ESCO) to design, build, and secure financing to improve energy management practices and/or retrofits within a facility or group of facilities. This contracting model is a low-risk, turnkey service that delivers guaranteed energy and cost savings. The ESCO assumes some, or all, of the initial capital costs, and the client repays the ESCO over a specified period from the resulting utility cost savings. After the contract closes, the client receives ongoing savings from energy, GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions, and utility costs.

CONT

Un contrat de performance énergétique (CPE) est un mécanisme de financement fondé sur la performance qui permet à une organisation cliente de tirer parti des capacités techniques et financières d'une ESE [entreprise de services énergétiques] pour créer et obtenir un financement dans le but d'améliorer les pratiques de gestion de l'énergie ou de réaliser un projet de modernisation dans un bâtiment ou un groupe de bâtiments. Ce modèle de contrat est un service clé en main à faible risque qui permet de garantir des économies d'énergie et de coûts. L'ESE prend en charge une partie ou la totalité des coûts d'investissement initiaux, et le client rembourse l'ESE sur une période déterminée grâce aux économies réalisées sur les coûts des services publics. Après la conclusion du contrat, le client continue de profiter d'économies d'énergie et de coûts des services publics ainsi que d'une réduction des émissions de GES [gaz à effet de serre].

Mold makers create, adjust, and adapt the molds used in cast manufacturing. Most frequently, tool and machine parts manufacturers are the employers for mold makers. Mold makers typically work with specifications from a design team, and they need to know how to work from schematics and be familiar with computer-aided design(CAD) programs for this purpose. The mold maker then creates initial molds. Upon the successful completion of production runs and quality control for parts from the casting, the maker then puts the mold into the production cycle. Mold makers often work with existing parts, making necessary adjustments to existing molds and conforming existing molds to new product specifications.

It is anticipated that the useful life of each rack will be from a minimum of five(5) to up to ten(10) years. The operational life of the Experiment Modules(EM) is planned for a minimum of five(5) years. The Ems will be designed to be serviceable and maintainable on orbit for their operational duration to satisfy the peer-selected scientific flight investigations. Flexibility is to be included in the design for ORU [Orbital Replaceable Unit] replacement of key components in order to extend useful life.

CONT

In a skidding turn, the gyro precesses towards the inside of the turn. After return on the aircraft to straight and level flight, the instrument shows a turn in the direction of the skid. In a normal turn, the gyro precesses towards the inside of the turn. The precession error is quickly corrected by the erecting mechanism.

CONT

The only really tricky part of the attitude indicator is its erecting mechanism. When power(vacuum) is first applied to the instrument, the mechanism quickly erects the gyro spindle to plumb-vertical in order to align the artificial horizon with the natural horizon. In flight, the erecting mechanism continually compensates the gyro for precession errors in order to keep it aligned throughout the course of a long flight. The design of the erecting mechanism is quite clever. In an air-driven attitude gyro, there are "pendulous vanes" suspended from pivots attached to the lower portion of the sealed gyro housing, one vane for each exhaust port. The vanes are positioned so that, when the gyro is erect, each vane half-covers its associated exhaust port. If the gyro tilts so that its axle is not plumb, the pendulous vanes shift so that one exhaust port is more-than-half-covered and the opposite exhaust port is less-than-half-covered. The resulting imbalance of discharge air exerts a force on the rotor housing at right angles to the direction of tilt, causing the gyro to precess to the erect position. As soon as the gyro is erect, the pendulous vanes return to a balanced condition to remove the precessing force. Pure magic! The erecting mechanism can erect the gyro quite quickly at initial power-up because the gyro doesn’t exhibit much gyroscopic rigidity at low rotor RPMs. Typically, the horizon bar becomes level within the first 10 or 15 seconds, and then its oscillations(caused by precessional nutation of the gyro) are damped out within a minute or so as the rotor comes up-to-speed.

Before building prototypes and prior to any necessary redesign ... the shortcomings of design performance must be checked out and the redesign work to correct these deficiencies started, with concern for producibility as well as performance.

CONT

A formal design review is an important factor in enhancing product performance. It should take place at critical stages in the initial design process or after a design has been in service for a reasonable period. A redesign, based on feedback from the field and customer engineers, can lead to substantial improvement in cost or function.

An engineer who is responsible for directing and integrating all technical aspects of the project such as the design/development process. Typically a project engineer manages a product throughout the engineering process for initial design/development. If a problem exists in a functional department, a project engineer is responsible for working with the functional department to correct the problem. In some companies the project engineering function is, in effect, the project management arm of the engineering department.
