Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing or Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing?

There are two systems, versions, or flavors of GD&T. The first version was released in North America and is called Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). This version of GD&T is developed and maintained by ASME, specifically their Y14.5 subcommittee. The ASME GD&T system is used throughout the world, but it is the primary GD&T standard in North America. Many multi-national corporations use ASME Y14.5 (ASME Y14.5M-1994 or ASME Y14.5-2009) as their GD&T standard worldwide for all of their international operations. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) also has a version of GD&T, which they call Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). The ISO GD&T standard is part of the Global Product Specification (GPS) series of standards produced by ISO technical committee TC213. Note that there are many standards that make up the ISO GPS system. Some ISO dimensioning standards are developed by a different ISO technical committee, ISO TC10. In the ASME system, there is essentially one dimensioning and tolerancing standard, ASME Y14.5-2009, accompanied by perhaps 8 other core standards needed for line types, lettering, modeling and related techniques. In the ISO system there are scores of standards for dimensioning and tolerancing, and scores more for modeling and related techniques. There are differences between the ASME and ISO systems; some differences are visually apparent, and other differences are much more subtle. We are experts and active in the development of both systems. Contact us for help with either system or to better understand the differences between the systems. These differences are becoming more critical as we move to an ever-more global supply chain. Although GD&T is a science of the details, it must also be understood in the context of the big picture. We also explore the implications of Dimensioning and Tolerancing Schemes outside of design, on the rest of our clients’ companies and supply chain, helping them to understand the tradeoffs in cost and quality they make when selecting various Tolerancing Schemes. We bring dimensional management strategies into your company and help you manage variation between departments, divisions, between internal and external organizations, and across the supply chain.

Google Adsense: Computer Knowledge and Direct Deposit

Do I Need to be Computer Savvy to Use Google Adsense? You don’t have to be a techno-geek to use Google Adsense. In fact, you don’t need any more technical knowledge than you do to surf the web. Google Adsense is very user-friendly with a comprehensive support site to answer any question you might have. You are first walked through the sign-up process where you are prompted for any and all information needed. You will then have a couple of days while you are waiting for your account to be approved. This would be a good time to familiarize yourself with the program policies, which of course you read before you signed up. But look again. Make sure the site you are registering doesn’t have any of the no-nos listed. For instance, some profanity is allowed, but nothing excessive. What is excessive? That could be a gray area, but if you’re in doubt, don’t register that site. There’s plenty of sites with little or no profanity. Look at the support site while you are waiting on Google Adsense and see what other’s are saying and doing. Most of all, have fun. Your Google Adsense dollars are just waiting to be counted. Does Google Adsense Offer Direct Deposit? Google adsense offers various payment options for publishers. Electronic Funds Transfer (ETF) is offered in 16 countries whereby your payments are deposited directly into your bank account in your local currency. Check Google Adsense support to see which countries participate in this option. You will need to sign up for this option after your application is approved by signing into your account. You then click the edit link adjacent to the payment header. After you fill out the bank information, Google Adsense will make a small test deposit into your account. This is for security purposes to assure the account is really your own. Watch your account for the test deposit to post, usually within just a few days. After you have received the deposit from Google, log back in to your account and in the Payment Details section, click Verify Account. You then will need to enter the amount of the test deposit. If you do not complete this step, your payments will be on hold. Once you enter the test deposit amount correctly, your bank will be approved and selected as your form of payment.

bandstand designed and built by students with the support of RIBA London has been unveiled at the Southbank Centre in London

The project is one of many additions to the riverside arts venue revealed this week as part of a centre’s Festival of the World programme running until 9 September. RIBA London looked to students after it was commissioned to design, build and install the structure as part of the venue’s summer festival programme for the second year running. Six students – Anisah Bhayat, Ricky Kwok, Wing-Shun Tang, Simon Phung,Robert Leather, Kirsty Smith – worked with RIBA London, StudioAR and last year’s bandstand designers to realise the project. RIBA London director Tamsie Thomson said: ‘During the recession many students are finding it difficult to gain the experience needed to progress to the next stage of their education. ‘This collaboration between RIBA London and the Southbank Centre allows us to help six students demonstrate their creative ability on a structure that will be seen by millions over this summer. It will go a long way to helping their careers during this difficult economic climate.’ Other installations at the riverside arts complex – which features the Royal Festival Hall, Hayward Gallery and Queen Elizabeth Hall – include a rooftop temporary restaurant by Milan-based Park Associati and a giant Baobab tree by Pirate Technics. Andrew Lock from Lyn Atelier, in partnership with TILT design studio has also completed a ‘Festival Village’ social space beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall for the 4,000 artists working on the 8.5 hectare site this summer. Jude Kelly, Southbank Centre artistic director said: ‘Our Festival champions the idea that art holds the key to unlocking the imagination and can be a powerful agent for social change by highlighting projects that are transforming lives. ‘From across all continents, we are bringing together thousands of artists involved in working with and inspiring communities in a vastly eclectic range of projects, activities, performances and exhibitions.’
