Using the Microstepping Technique for Stepper Motors
Learners view animations showing how electrical signals are applied to the coils of a stepper motor to perform microstepping. A short quiz completes the activity.
This interactive activity represents the grid modeling technique, a heuristic model for choosing a centralized location for a manufacturing or distribution center within a supply chain network. The formula calculates a central point between the suppliers and the markets. This object requires the latest version of Flash Player.
Recreational Mathematics: Palindromes in Mathematics and the Search for Patterns
Users study a chart containing numbers 1 to 99 and look for trivial palindromes as well as double and triple iteration palindromes. The reverse and add technique is demonstrated.
Trying to write your paper but you’ve gotten stuck? Explore Mind Mapping! This creative technique helps you explore what you already know, lets you see how your ideas are tied together, and gets you writing quickly.
Robotic welding is revolutionizing welder safety, efficiency, and technique. Knowing how to program a robotic welder is key in this ever-changing industry. In this module you’ll explore what Through-Arc Seam Tracking (TAST) is, discover how it works, and see it applied on the job.
In this animated object, learners examine ink trapping, a key technique used by printers to improve the quality of products and to increase efficiency.
Rotating Vector Representation of the Sine Function
The learner will be able to represent steady-state AC sinusoidal signals using phasors, which will lead to a simplified technique of analyzing AC circuits in a very similar way that we analyze DC circuits.
Learners evaluate how well others describe their points of view in a workplace problem-solving situation. They then apply techniques for explaining their points of view as well as for gaining understanding of others' perspectives. This learning object contains audio.
Transfer Functions: The RC High Pass Filter with Bode Plot
Students view the development of the transfer function for a RC high pass filter. They also read how a Bode plot is developed through simple approximation techniques for both the magnitude and phase.
