Automating Manufacturing Systems with PLCs.pdf

November 9, 2009 · Filed Under Mechanical & Industrial Engineering · Comment  · Tags: , , ,

Taken from PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS’s Introduction: Control engineering has evolved over time. In the past humans were the main method for controlling a system. More recently electricity has been used for control and early electrical control was based on relays. These relays allow power to be switched on and off without a mechanical switch. It is common to use relays to make simple logical control decisions. The development of low cost computer has brought the most recent revolution, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The advent of the PLC began in the 1970s, and has become the most common choice for manufacturing controls.
PLCs have been gaining popularity on the factory floor and will probably remain predominant for some time to come. Most of this is because of the advantages they offer: Cost effective for controlling complex systems.
Flexible and can be reapplied to control other systems quickly and easily.
Computational abilities allow more sophisticated control.
Trouble shooting aids make programming easier and reduce downtime.
Reliable components make these likely to operate for years before failure.

Total-brain Leadership and Innovation - How to be successful in the knowledge economy.pdf

August 12, 2009 · Filed Under Self Improvement · Comment  · Tags: , , , ,

Taken from Introduction: In order to be effective and successful organizations and nations need exemplary leaders, leaders who know how to use their fullest potential. Therefore, Warren Bennis (Ref. 1) focuses on the necessity of becoming a healthy, fully integrated human being before a person can show exemplary or integral leadership. According to Bennis leadership is closely connected to personal growth and at each successive stage or level of personal growth, one transcends and integrates the previous level of being, consciousness, and identity. The ability to master one’s context is essential for any successful leader, and one cannot master what one cannot “see”.

Cryptography Tutorial.pdf

November 3, 2008 · Filed Under Hacking Related · Comment  · Tags: , ,

The tutorial is done at a reasonably high level, there are about two dozen books which cover things like DES encryption done at the bit-flipping level so Gutmann hasn’t bothered going down to this level. Instead he cover encryption protocols, weaknesses, applications, and other crypto security-related information. Since the slides are accompanying material for a proper tutorial, there’s a lot of extra context which isn’t available just by reading the slides. Bear in mind that some of the claims and comments on the slides need to be taken in the context of the full tutorial.
