The engine was so loud that it was hard to hear Mr. Stacey and Laura despite wearing the headphones. I noticed that there were two yokes, one in front of the pilot, and the other in front of me. The yokes are used to steer the plane. Watching the front propeller I was amazed at how fast it started spinning. After reaching the required speed we flew down the runway heading toward a row of trees. I was sure that we
Act two of MacDonald’s Goodnight Desdemona opens with the fallen and disgraced Iago, carrying the yoke of a sewer cleaner. Iago, a once proud and respected officer of the venetian military, has been struck low by the interloping stranger Constance. The yoke of Iago is a powerful display of bondage and slavery, it is a symbol of Othello’s undeniable authority and jurisdiction. I believe the yoke is the physical representation of Othello’s power. The rule of Othello is unbearable for Iago, his
use of Poka-Yoke, a term which is "translated as 'resistance to errors' by avoiding (yoker) errors resulting from inattention (poka)" (Dudek-Burlikowska & Szewieczek, 2009). By recognizing the potential for defects in the performance of any process, and consciously redesigning that process in such a way as to remove the chance of that error occurring, it is possible to create systems that can only be operated in the intended fashion. The underlying philosophy and methodology of Poka-Yoke "was introduced
The term ‘lean production’ came about to describe the Toyota production system in the late 1980’s. This came to pass through a research group from MIT who over five years analysed the automotive industry in fourteen countries. It was called ‘lean manufacturing’ rather than the Toyota production system to make it easier for competitors and organizations to adopt this type of system. The concept of lean production in a manufacturing organization basically means to try and maximise the use of materials
EXPERIMENT 4.1 – SCOTCH YOKE MECHANISM BACKGROUND OF STUDY: Pure simple harmonic motion is produced by the Scotch Yoke mechanism when driven by an eccentric or crank. Its early application was on steam pumps but it is not suitable for high speeds due to the backlash in the scotch yoke. It is now mainly used in computing type applications where harmonic motion is required. The Scotch yoke is a mechanism for converting the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion or vice-versa. The piston or
The Yoke was assembled from volcanic tuff containing traces of cinnabar. It is in the shape of a championship belt, and possesses three faces, one in the center, and one on either side. The faces are all similar, with wide eyes, flared nostrils, and a snarl all contained in a square face. The face may have been idealized to represent strength. The Ball Game Yoke was typically worn in formal ceremonies by ball players in order to
Just-in-Time production (JIT) JIT is a customer-oriented management philosophy used in contemporary supply chain management. Originally, it was used to refer to the process of producing standard products at the right time to meets the demands of the consumers. However, in modern manufacturing plants, the term is used to describe the approach of producing goods at the most minimum waste level possible. It enables the manufacturing companies to avoid costs associated with the overproduction of goods
In Ann-Marie MacDonald’s “Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet),” Iago enters Act II, scene ii carrying two buckets of filth to represent both dramatic and thematic purposes in the play. Each discussion, soliloquy, and activity must have a definite purpose in unfolding the drama. The dramatic purpose of Iago entering Act III, scene ii of “Good Night Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)” advances the plot and develops characters, especially Iago. Above all, the two separate buckets compare
act up on an instruction and follow through with our obedience to that instruction. We are to take up our yoke as Yeshua says in Matthew 11:29: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Taking up our yoke makes our work easier, less painful. The word yoke is a noun and the root meaning of it means: the placing of the yoke upon the
4 “For I will break the yoke of the King of Babylon” leaves the reader with no doubt that Hananiah’s message is false, directly contradicting the words known to be of YHWH which accompany the symbolic yoke of Babylon in ch. 27. It should be noted that Hananiah’s position of grace stems in part from the prophetic tradition of Isaiah in the idea that YHWH will protect
