INFORMATICAL INVESTMENTS OF SAPARD AND AVOP PRO-GRAMMES

Olga, Berta – Miklós, Szabó

Abstract: One of the pre-joining aid programmes was the SAPARD Programme, which is successful all things considered. Our country started to establish the necessary institutional background for the competitions in 2000, and the first competitions were announced in 2002. The competition-system of SAPARD was very different from the other national agricultural aiding systems, which had been known widely before. The most important aim of SAPARD Programme was to make others to get know the competition-system after joining the EU, of course, together with closing u pof the national agriculture. Farmers and enterprises, which were worked with competitions, could accept the first obstacles easily, however, the announced competition-system was very difficult and there were several problems for lack of information. The AVOP was a known competition-form after the joining of the EU, so giving of the competition was easy, however, number of the inquiring people for the competition grew considerably. According to the newest datas, more than 11.000 competitions were given between 2004 and 2 April 2007. Success of the competition-system can open other perspectives for the agricultural enterprises, in so far as, there will be more opportunities to contact with informatical competitions inside of the agricultural section.

ABOUT FLANK SURFACE QUALITY IN HIGH PRECISION PUNCHING OF TOOTHED GEARS

Lucian BUTNAR , Mihai BANICA

Abstract: The high precision punching is a modern procedure in order to obtain high quality cylindrical gears. During the process, the prominent plastic deformation and the superior tensions produce a flank surface with low roughness. The smooth zone proportion from the processed surface is bigger in high precision punching (about 80-90%) than in ordinary punching (about 30-40%). If the influence factors – quality: material, thickness, clearance and friction – have optimal values, and the proceeding technology is correct, the flank roughness arrived to Ra = 0.2…0.4 μm and the toothed gear has a precision in IT 6 – 8 ISO.

CONSIDERATIONS ON STRESS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, REGARDING THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS

Adriana COTETIU, Rita TOADER

Abstract: Communication is a process of transmitting information, under the form of symbolic messages, between two or more people, some with broadcaster status, and others with receiver status, by means of some specific channels. In the communication process context there appear some perturbation factors, which manifest on the broadcaster – receiver route and which may cause major disfunctionalities. Stress represents the conjunction state resulted from the action of the stressful agent and the adaptation capacity of the organism. To have an efficient managerial communication we must diminish and eliminate the causes that generate stress both at the managers’ level, as broadcasters, and at the subordinates’ level, as receivers.

THE GEOMETRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE HUMAN INTERVERTEBRAL DISC MEASURED USING CT AND AUTOCAD

Monica-Iliuta Creţan, Mihai Gafitanu, Florin Munteanu

Abstract: It is classically taught that the lumbar spine is designed to provide axial rigidity to the lower trunk, to sustain axial compression loads exerted from the trunk and upper limbs and to permit movements between the trunk and pelvis. The intervertebral disc is responsible for transmission and stabilizing a combination of compressive, torsion and bending forces subjected to the trunk of the body. During the degenerative process, changes occur in the nucleus and annulus. A current surgical treatment for degenerative spinal problems is the total disc replacement with intervertebral disc prosthesis. The device must maintain the proper intervertebral spacing, allow for motion, and provide stability. The intervertebral disc prosthesis ideally would replicate normal range of motion in all plane and must reproduce physiologic stiffness in all planes of motion plus axial compression. The objective of this study is to develop an improved automated method that will measure the geometrical parameters of intervertebral disc and in the human lumbar spine from CT scan and with AUTOCAD.

TOOTH FRICTION LOSS IN SIMPLE PLANETARY GEARS

Attila Csobán

Abstract: The efficiency of planetary gears mainly depends on the tooth friction loss. In order to analyze the possibilities to reach the highest efficiency it is necessary to calculate the tooth friction loss. There are some methods for calculation of the tooth friction published in literature, which can be used for the analysis. Using a method developed by Duda to calculate the efficiency of tooth gears and another method suggested by Bartz to calculate the average coefficient of friction between the mating teeth we executed detailed investigation of the parameters influencing the tooth friction loss. Calculations were performed to determine the efficiency of simple planetary gears, evaluating the influence of the tooth profile on the tooth friction loss at different gear ratios. The geometries of tooth profile were changed with different modules and different addendum modifications of the gears.

DIFFERENT HEAT SUM CALCULATION METHODS IN MAIZE PRODUCTION

Dénes Áron Dorka

Abstract: Maize production is of primary importance in the world, especially considering that its cultivation takes up one of the greatest ratios of land used for agricultural production. As a result, the number of farms where maize is not cultivated for either food production or foraging purposes is insignificant. For this reason, establishing economic production is of decisive importance when it comes to determining the efficiency of farms. Profitable maize production depends on a number of conditions, including the professional suitability of farmers, while some aspects of production are independent from these. Heat-sum calculations form a transition from this aspect, since temperatures ocuring during the growing season cannot be influenced by man. However, the method of calculation and evaluation and thus the tool to improve production is in the hands of the farmer. This scientific paper aims to give a special description of heat-sum calculation methods.

FURTHER RESEARCH OF ABRASIVE WEAR BEHAVIOUR OF ENGINEERING POLYMERS

Kalácska Gábor, Zsidai László, Bors Zoltán, Fenyvesi László, Eberst Ottó, Pop Sever

Abstract: To improve the abrasive wear behaviour of a certain tribo system – modifying the system -, there are more keys e.g. replacing the metal surface with a plastic one. If in a given tribo system the engineering plastic part can be acceptable from other engineering points (e.g. strength, life period and fatigue) than the proper plastic selection may improve the abrasive wear performance of the system. The proper plastic material selection is considered as a keyword, because each tribological system is different. Taking these into account, first, we have carried out some simply laboratory test have already been published. Following that we designed a real machine element test systems applying different plastic/metal gear pairs running in abrasive media. The conclusion of the systems and the comparison of the systems were published in different journals and a PhD thesis work was written.
But to clarify the real plastic material behaviour in case of abrasive particles we had to design a further test system, where the sliding plastic surface always act on a pure abrasive contact surface, which is not covered with transfer layer or third body particles. So, the sliding path to run is always clear. Some mechanical properties of the tested materials were measured at the Hungarian Institute of Agricultural Engineering and tribotesting was carried out at SZIU and UNBM. (OTKA T42511, NI 62729, INNOCSEKK, GVOP 3.3.).

Abstract: Salix viminalis L. is native to this land. It has been cultivated at a smaller scale for making baskets and other household items.
„Energy willow” has catkin flowers, dicotyledonous, dioecious, arborescent, insect pollinated plant. It is deciduous and has cylindrical shoots. Its leaves are alternate and lance shaped. It is one of the fastest growing trees. Its shoot grow 3-5 cm a day. In first year it reaches 3-3.5 m in height and yields 8-10 tonnes/ha cuttings. It yields 20-40 t/ha following the third year. It has a high salicylic alcohol content, consequently a fairly high energy – 29,2 MJ/kg, as shown by Endre Kiss.
Growing this plant may bring the beneficial aspects of a decentralised energy system into consideration for a settlement rethinking the links between the settlement and its environment, in spite of biomass energy production has the largest potential though it will contribute only at a small scale to the renewable energy sources used in Hungary.

Abstract: Group Technology is a manufacturing philosophy and strategy that assists a company in
understanding what it manufactures and how those products are then manufactured. GT provides a means to identify and exploit the “underlying sameness” or similarities of parts and processes. Once identified, it is possible to capitalize on these similarities by processing together groups of similar parts (families), by standardizing and simplifying closely related and repetitive activities to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort and by efficient storing and retrieving of information related to recurring problems, thereby avoiding solving the same problem again and again.

Abstract: Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. The world environment around us provides a wealth of information that is difficult to duplicate in a computer. This is evidenced by the worlds used in virtual environments. Either these worlds are very simplistic such as the environments created for immersive entertainment and games, or the system that can create a more realistic environment has a million dollar price tag such as flight simulators. An augmented reality system generates a composite view for the user. It is a combination of the real scene viewed by the user and a virtual scene generated by the computer that augments the scene with additional information.
