Machines and music: instrumental contributions to bluegrass
Popular Music, 2021AbstractIn the performance of bluegrass fiddle tunes, each repetition of the tune is generally played on a different instrument. I argue that the degree to which the instrument can influence the motivic material in improvised passages is beyond idiomaticism – where phrases might suit one instrument more than another – to the point where melodic pitch ...

Robotic Machine and Instruments
2017The da Vinci Robotic System, manufactured by Intuitive Surgical, USA, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000. It gained popularity worldwide as it facilitates the minimal access completion of complex surgical procedures. There are five known models of the da Vinci system (Standard, S, Si, X and Xi).

Musical instruments, models, and machines
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1994A musical instrument is an analog computer. It integrates equations of motion based on applied boundary conditions and generates acoustic and tactile outputs. Understanding why the equations of motion is liked is a very hard problem, fabricating traditional instruments that duplicate desired equations of motion is a hard problem, but using new ...

Instrumented Automatic Capsule Filling Machines and Filling Machine Simulation
2017Today, industrially filled hard gelatin capsules are most often filled using automatic filling machines that form powder plugs by compression and eject them into the empty capsule bodies. This chapter provides a chronology of the research instrumentation of automatic capsule filling machines.

Enhancement of instrument and machine capabilities
Nanotechnology, 1996Because of the increasing demand for the measurement of fine surfaces, complex shaped surfaces and soft surfaces, some thought has been given recently to revising the philosophy behind the design of the basic instrument. Also a similar rethink of the design strategy of machine tools has taken place due to the need to manufacture surfaces of nanometre ...

Verification and Calibration of Instrumented Indentation Testing Machines
Key Engineering Materials, 2017The frame compliance is calibrated by experimental and calculation methods for an instrumented indentation equipment. The indentation depth and contact diameter with single cycle test is determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy directly. The alternative method is to calculate the contact depth and the contact radius from the load-depth curves ...

Galileo’s apprenticeship allowed him to build bridges to mathematicians, philosophers and several kinds of artist-engineers and craftsmen, including mirror makers, military engineers, and machine builders. In the context of such a network, Galileo cultivated and practiced all of these activities himself.

Ion nitriding of machine tools and cutting instruments
Metal Science and Heat Treatment, 19831. By ion nitriding of structural steels for 6–15 h it is possible to obtain a case depth of 0.2–0.4 mm with hardness HV 550-1100 and good mechanical properties. 2. The most logical area of applications for ion nitriding in machine tool construction is serial and large-scale production.

Memory machines or musical instruments?
International Journal of Cultural Studies, 2007• According to R. Murray Shafer, recording technology is both a crucial tool to preserve endangered sounds, and a threat to such sounds. This ambiguity raises the question of how the role of recording technology should be understood. In this article, I examine this role in a recent soundscape production called Alle Namen.

How to maintain dental machines and instruments
The Veterinary Nurse, 2012In order to perform safe and effective dental, oral and maxillofacial surgery, a practice must ensure its equipment is well maintained and in good working order. All electrical equipment must be serviced annually by qualified personnel and an accurate record kept of these checks.
