Standard Handbook of Fastening and Joining by

Release Date: September 25, 1985

This completely updated handbook emphasizes the relationship between the assembly methods, the materials, and the plastics manufacturing processes, thus enabling the reader to identify the best design/assembly method for a given application. A new chapter on laser welding of plastics has been added. All principle fastening and joining methods used to assemble plastic parts today are described with their particular advantages and disadvantages. Assembly method limitations for a given material and/or a given molding process are discussed in great detail. This how-to book offers a wealth of hard-to-find, detailed information. Partial Contents: Rapid Guidelines for Assembly of Plastics. Designing for Efficient Assembly. Cost Reduction in Assembly. Design for Disassembly and Recycling.

Make sure your beef harvest, production, and processing methods meet the highest standards Handbook of Beef Safety and Quality is a comprehensive guide to the impact and importance of pre-harvest/production, harvest, and further processing controls, methods and practices on safety and quality—with commodity beef as the target market. This unique book was developed with the help of American Meat Science Association members to create a safety and quality handbook for the beef industry as it moves toward a consumer-driven market that values flavor, palatability, convenience, nutrient value, and price. The book also includes an extensive glossary, tables and figures, examples of sensory evaluation ballots, and descriptions of USDA quality grade and age verification requirements. The public’s increased concerns about food safety and health risks in the wake of numerous instances of food-borne illness in the past 20 years (E. coli, campylobacteriosis, yersiniosis) and the events surrounding outbreaks of Food and Mouth Disease (FMD), Bovine Spongiform Enchephalopathy (BSE) and Avian Influenza (Bird flu) have led to a more conscious awareness of sound quality assurance practices by food producers and a commitment to management strategies that inspire consumer confidence. The Handbook of Beef Safety and Quality examines pathogen control in animal production, chemical, physical, and biological hazards that pose threats to beef during slaughter and fabrication, the relationship of disease to performance and quality, the need to develop quality-focused supply chains, enhancing beef demand in domestic and international markets, beef carcass quality, sensory attributes, beef muscle palatability, and consumer preferences. Topics addressed in the Handbook of Beef Safety and Quality include: direct-fed microbials antimicrobial intervention immunomodulation residue avoidance Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Systems (HACCP) implementation injection site lesions mouthing and skeletal maturity consumer demand models consumer perceptions of quality and much more! The Handbook of Beef Safety and Quality is an essential resource for beef industry specialists and for educators and students working in meat science and beef production.

The number 1 on-the-job television and video engineering reference. It's a challenge to stay in sync with the fast-paced world of TV and video today. Networking schemes, compression technology, computing systems, equipment, and standards are all but a few of the things that seem to change monthly. As the field transitions from analog to hybrid analog/digital to all-digital broadcast networks, stations, video video production facilities, and success-minded engineers and technicians stay up to speed with the only reference tracking all the changes in the field: the "Standard Handbook of Video and Television Engineering".No other source covers such a broad range of video and television technology - with an emphasis on practical applications. Whether you work in design, production, installation, operation, or maintenance of video centers and broadcast stations, "Standard Handbook of Video and Television Engineering" gives you easy-to-find answers on: video networking technologies; digital television and data broadcast standards; digital technologies for production, transport, and storage of video and audio signals; digital video formats and production considerations; implementation recommendations and practices for DTV; video pickup and display devices and systems; compression technologies for audio and video; production facility design guidelines; fundamental principles of light and vision; extensive reference documentation; and much more.Covering everything from basic principles and formulae to dissections of the latest equipment and FCC mandates, the Handbook includes more than 70 topically organized, fully indexed, articles - over 1200 pages, written by dozens of the field's foremost experts. What's more, the accompanying CD includes a compendium of standards, critical background information, in-depth technical material, and high-resolution test images. This leading-edge resource defines today's video electronics, pulling together wisdom from the entire scope of television technology to deliver a truly useful, field-encompassing volume selected by more professionals than any other. Why not make the "Standard Handbook of Video and Television Engineering" your choice, too?

In this update of a reference that was first published a decade ago, Troughton (plastics technology manager, The Welding Institute, World Centre for Materials Joining Technology, Cambridge, UK) digests information from various sources that offers detailed descriptions of techniques and data on the joining of some two dozen generic polymer families to guide selection among technologies for plastics and related materials. For engineers, scientists, and technicians in the automotive, construction, electronics, medical, utilities, packaging, and plastics manufacturing industries, he evaluates each method's advantages and disadvantages, and covers its applications, the materials and equipment involved, joint design, and welding parameters. The handbook includes a glossary and international equipment suppliers directory. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
