Rotary encoder

Determining the location of our fixture in space may seem like a simple task but if our goal is precision then we need to know exactly where our platform and ball screw are located at all times. To accomplish this goal, we will need to use a combination of encoders and dial gages to keep position and to check our position and precision. Encoder/Glass Scale A linear encoder is the typical way that CNC machines measure motion. It’s electro-mechanical device that creates digital signals that correlate to a position, a velocity, and a direction along a path. A linear encoder acts as a sensor and when linked to a scale it encodes a position. The sensor reads the scale and converts the encoded position into a meaningful value in the form of a digital or an analog readout. Optical linear encoders utilize a combination of light, lenses, photosensors, and a glass scale. The light source in conjunction with a lens creates a beam of light, which passes through a scanning reticle and then through the glass scale. That light is then picked up by photosensors, which creates a type of sine wave output, which the linear encoder interprets (Figure 5, Anaheim Automation, 2016). The level of accuracy created in this system is very high but the glass scale and…

In essence, everyone lives their lives in the same basic fashion: a constant cycle of encoding and storing new memories, along with the retrieval of old ones. Granted, there are those exceptions to the norm, but in the grand scheme of things they are really the outliers. Now since our brains don’t function like a video camera perfectly capturing every moment of our lives, we have to work earnestly in order to remember every minute detail which is deemed important or necessary. This is where…

It is relatively obvious for human to associate technology in terms of automation, machinery, impersonal and such, rather than to communication and conversation, prior to the intervention of communicative technologies. The nineteenth century had witnessed and experienced the rapid evolution of the large quantity of electronic devices for communication, for instance, telephone, radio, television, and internet. Among all, telephone technology emerged as ‘an integral part of’ everyday lives for…

In “No Need to Call”, Sherry Turkle formulates various arguments regarding technology. Technology gives people the opportunity to do what they wish whether they are emails, instant messages, texts, or calls. Emails, instant messages, and texts are similar for the reason that you are allowed to respond whenever you want, whether it is ten minutes later or a day later. Technology has helped people communicate around the world in an easier way. Anyone can simply go onto their mobile phone or laptop…

Nowadays, within the continuing development of technology, many High-Tech things have been invented and created. The High-tech products make people’s life easier and interesting, we couldn’t image the life without those things. Like the Smart phone, you don’t have to write a letter and sent it to the post office, just by type in the words and click the “send” bottom to the person who you want to be sent to the message. There are a lot of good things that we can talk about the smart-phone has…

One’s Marriage, The Eye and Faith When texting someone, emojis are straightforward, with a laughing emoji symbolizing laughter and clocks representing a clock. On a heart rate monitor, a flashing heart would symbolize the human heart beating in real time. In short stories however, symbols are more ambiguous. The symbols need more time to be identified and explained to those who do not see them. The symbols in “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe and…

Could a person's privacy be violated during sleep? When people want to share videos or pictures with another people, it takes times because they save it in their phone and they may be busy at this moment, so they send it later. A lot of people do not expect that they will express themselves, live in the moment and learn about the world’s events. “Picaboo lets you and your girlfriends send photos for peeks and not keeps!” this sentence contributed to had service that people did not expect it to…

Whenever we want to talk to someone we text them, even if you want to wish them a Happy Birthday or Happy New Year we use our phones. By using technology our way of communication has changed. Instead of talking face to face we use our phones and by that it’s causing us problems. A nonfiction passage by Scott Peck “Life is Difficult” and Sherry Turkle’s “Flight From Conversation” both suggest how life is full of problems and technology diverts our attention from solving these problems and thus…

“Ignorance is bliss” - Thomas Gray. Most people don’t know how phones really work, and really don’t think twice when using one. This goes for all other technology from cars to calculators. I, like many other people, need to fulfill their need to scratch, to use technology. The scratch, however, is easily explained, but the itch is a whole different story. The itch is what people don’t think about, or don’t want to think about. People take today's technology for granted. Most never even take the…

Do you have a computer or a self-phone? Technology is all around us in this world today. It is very common to have a phone or a computer of any kind or to even have both. People think only about the good things about technology but not about the bad things that are harmful to the consumers. Technology is very harmful to people because it rewires our brains and disconnects us from the world. Technology has rewired our brain over the years and dumbed us down that we have short attention spans. In…
