Fundamentals of Electric Circuits
Introduction
When an electric current flows through a conductor, it produces a displacement of electrically charged particles. This movement of charges is what we call electric current. For an electric current to exist, there must be an electric conductor (e.g., ohmic conductors) and an electric field strong enough to generate a force that causes the charges to move. If the electric field is constant, the current is called direct current (DC). If the electric field

Plastics: An Overview
Plastics are substances with diverse structures and properties. They typically lack a fixed boiling point and exhibit elasticity and flexibility, allowing them to be molded into various shapes. In a narrower sense, plastics refer to synthetic materials obtained through polymerization, involving the propagation of carbon atoms in long molecular chains derived from petroleum and other natural substances.
Properties of Plastics
Most plastics share these characteristics:
- Easy to work
Manufacturing Technologies: Shaping & Molding Processes
1. Manufacturing Technologies
Manufacturing technology is a set of transformation processes applied to a material during preparation. Requirements for piece manufacturing include:
- Prepared for assembly
- Faithful to the pre-established design
- Reasonable cost of materials and energy
- Reliable quality control
2. Shaping by Melting and Molding
A mold is a container with a cavity. Molten material is poured into the cavity, and solidifies in the shape of the cavity.
2.1 Mold Components
- Bottom: Main cavity or half

ASP.NET GridView Control
The ASP.NET GridView server control is a server-side rich-data control for repeated-value binding. It is the successor to the .NET Framework version 1.1 DataGrid control.
The GridView is a powerful control that provides the ability to display, format, paginate, and edit data.

A machine is a system composed of one or more mechanical parts with moving components and, at times, other assemblies. A mechanism is a set of mechanical elements that perform guidance and transmission functions related to the movements and forces within a machine. Joints can be classified as fixed or detachable.
Fixed Joints: Used when the union must withstand significant mechanical forces, and dismantling is not necessary.
Detachable Joints: These elements are linked but can be dismantled. Some

Car Transmission Systems
Epicyclic Train
This system builds speed transmission relationships, offering several transmission ratios and reverse spin. Key components include the planetary gear and ring gear. Some systems use two epicyclic trains, uniting a planetary gear with other fitted pieces.
Brakes and Clutches
Cinta Brake
The drum rotates while a band tightens when the piston receives pressure, activating the brake.
Disc Brake
Oil pushes the piston, compressing discs of different materials. The housing
