Eight years ago, universities like MIT and Stanford first opened up free online courses to the public. Today, close to 1000 schools around the world have created thousands of free online courses, popularly known as Massive Open Online Courses or MOOCs. I’ve compiled this list of 620+ such free online courses that you can start this month. For this, I leveraged Class Central’s database of over 15,000 online courses. I’ve also included each course’s average rating. Class Central's HomepageI’ve sorted these courses into the following categories based on their difficulty level: BeginnerIntermediateAdvancedCourses that are being offered for the first time are marked as [NEW]. Many of these courses are completely self-paced. The rest will start at various times throughout the year. You can find complete lists of the technology-related courses starting later in 2020 on Class Central’s Computer Science, Data Science, and Programming subject pages. I understand this a long list and might be daunting for learners new to programming. In that case, you might find David Venturi’s recommendations for the best Data Science online courses useful — even if you’re not looking to learn Data Science. I hope to create more of these guides in the future. And finally if you have trouble figuring out how to signup for Coursera courses for free, don’t worry — I’ve written an article on how to do that, too.

Assignment 3

DESCRIPTION

Is it possible to design a physical mechanism such that it tells us “yes” for some input configurations while “no” for others?

Suppose that input configurations are framed as combinations of simple questions that can have a “yes” or “no” state. If such mechanism existed and there was a way to have inputs controlled by stimuli from the environment while outputs to control actuators, then the system would be able to make decisions based on environmental inputs, and interact logically with the environment, by utilizing natural energy and design.

Consider each input as a ‘switch’ that can take two states. On one hand, the state of a switch can control flow or transfer of energy. On the other hand, flow of energy can control the state of a switch. By using the flow of energy that is controlled by one switch to control another switch, cascades of switches can be created that work as relays. Depending on the configuration of the states of two linked switches, a relay can be forward, meaning that a change in the state of the input switch causes a similar change in the state of the output switch, or reverse, meaning that a change in the state of the input switch causes an opposite change in the state of the output switch. By combining forward and backward relays logic gates can be created, which are the fundamental blocks for building logic circuits. Logic gates take two inputs and produce an output.

In this assignment, working in teams of 2-3 persons, you have to design a mechanically computing device that can interact with a user, by a physical medium (material) of your choice. You will start by exploring how to design a switch, a relay, and the three basic logic gates (AND, OR, and NOT) and you will then combine these components to design a more complex device. You must focus on what your device does, how it interacts with a user, and how it uses/stores energy to perform computation. You can see examples of logic gates made out of train sets in the following link: http://www.cr31.co.uk/stagecast/trains/tt2_func_gates.html

STEPS

Step 1:

Read chapters 10, 11, 12, and 13 from The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software, on logic circuits. You will find the book as a PDF in the readings subfolder in our Google Drive folder. Then go through the slideshow presentation that was presented in class on Monday (you will find this in the Lectures subfolder).

Step 2:

Go to http://www.cr31.co.uk/stagecast/trains/index.html. Read sections “Intro” and “Functions” and subsections “Mechanical Logic,” “Add/subtract,” “Multiply,” and “Divide” in the menu on your right hand. Then go to https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/themakershow/The-Maker-Show-Mini-GraviComp-Mechanical-Computer and https://www.turingtumble.com/, Turing Tumble Simulator, and Dr Nim marble computer, and go through the presentations. These give you examples of different ways of how to create relays, logic gates, flip-flops (another component of computer logic), and functional logic circuits with simple physical/mechanical means.

Step 3:

Design a switch and a relay, that you will develop by any physical means you want. Energy flow examples are mechanical movement, fluid movement, wind flow, vehicle traffic, electrical current, sound, pressure, etc. Think creatively. When designing your relay, you must ask yourself “how does my relay harvest, store, and release energy in order to change another relay?” and “how can multiple relays connect in a cascade such that when one relay changes its state, it triggers its connecting relay to change its state as well?”

Step 4:

Design the three basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) with the relay you developed in step 3. Create a functional prototype for each one of the three gates in the woodshop/fablab. You can use any material of fabrication method.

Step 5: Create a mechanically computing machine. For example, you can create a binary adding or subtracting machine (see chapters 12 and 13 from Petzold) or a machine that compares, divides, multiplies numbers or does logic, using marbles.

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW

We will spend 3rd and 4th weeks covering topics on information and computation from a mechanical/physical perspective. We will also have a tutorial on mechanical computation using the Turing Tumble game. You are expected to explore online resources on your own and combine the skills that you learned in assignments 1 and 2 in creating your computing device. Like in assignment 2, you plan ahead and order any materials you will need for your project.

Software

We will be using Rhino (either v5 or v4) and Grasshopper. If you haven't installed the software, please do so. If you don't have a licensed copy of Rhino, you can download a free, fully operational, evaluation version from McNeel's website (http://www.rhino3d.com/download) that can save up to 30 times. We will also be using two plugins for designing gears in Rhino: the GearGen RVB script (http://www.rayflectar.com/Rhino/RhinoScripts-Gallery.htm) and the GearGenerator Grasshopper plugin component (http://lmnts.lmnarchitects.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=33). GearGenerator works only on Rhino 5. Install both of them as well, and try to familiarize yourselves as much as possible with them. Additional links for Gear Generating scripts may be provided later.

Laser cutter

Plan ahead to reserve spots in the SOA laser cutter. If you want to move this reserved time window earlier or later than our class time, please let me know so that I can arrange that. You will need to be trained to use the laser cutter. Contact SOA Fab Lab for training.

MATERIALS

The SOA fab lab will have a limited stock. You should plan ahead to get the materials you need from other vendors by third or fourth class, the latest, to start working on your prototypes. When buying materials from other vendors, please make sure that anything you intend to cut on the laser is an approved material (acrylic or PETG are OK), some plastics are absolutely not OK to cut with the laser (copolyester, vinyl). By far, the best plastic to use for mechanical parts is Delrin

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsEach polygon is spot-welded to the tabs of its next-door neighbors. This section goes over the strategy used to generate the polygons and prepare them for manufacture. The whole procedure was created utilizing code composed in RhinoScript (basically Visual Basic for Rhino). The first component of the algorithm is to produce a single polygon. This is achieved one vertex each time. The individual picks a surface area to panel and enters the variety of sides for the polygons. They also go into an optimum allowed variance from the surface area.

This is Prototek’s niche.

TIG welding, is an arc welding procedure that utilizes a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to generate the weld. The weld location is safeguarded from atmospheric contamination by a securing gas, and also a filler steel is generally made use of. A constant-current welding power supply generates power which is performed across the arc through a column of very ionized gas and also steel vapors called a plasma. AC current is used for welding Aluminum and Magnesium. Any kind of market that takes care of steel needs fabrication, and without the work of steel makers, the implementation of steel would certainly not not be feasible. What simply what do steel producers do? Essentially, steel makers use a range of strategies to transform standard steel sections into predefined forms, all set to be applied in building and construction. Fabricators function carefully alongside steel detailers as well as drafters, that give in-depth illustrations and also layouts which makers basically give life.Miter Flanges May Also Contain Arcs CNC Punching Rapidly develop affordable intelligence Provides Market Size information to aid with

preparation as well as tactical choices Parts go in rough, and in an issue of seconds, come out with the quality you would normally anticipate from three or even more operations. This will need less staff members to deal with a job, as well as reduce possible traffic jams while enhancing quality. The enhancement of these 2 makers will permit Prototek to take on a better work and boost top quality while still lowering preparations. This is Prototek’s niche. Given that 1987, they have been the leaders in the fast turn market of accuracy sheet metal prototypes, as well as there is no sign they want to shed that placement. Steel could be shaped in a variety of means such as burning, exploration, reducing, bending, grinding, punching and also welding.

Shaping of the steel is normally carried out in the manufacture store and afterwards the pieces are carried to the building and construction site and put in location. While steel manufacture is required for developing construction, it is additionally made use of for a selection of other functions such as making bumpers, tanks, touchdown gears, gateways, racks, stairs, handrails, nails, articles, and also ladders.

With a full choice of in-house steel fabrication services and also a network of partners for added alternatives to finish your light weight aluminum product throughout, Fab Masters is a suitable agreement making companion. Both problems are brought on by unsafe exposure to the highly-concentrated UV rays produced by the welding arc( which could additionally harm uncovered skin, comparable to a sunburn. The importance of welding gauntlets lags the security they offer a welder. This is since they protect a welder’s hands and also wrists from heat and stimulates while still using the adaptability in efficiency to perform expert welding without restriction. A welders blanket is makes use of as a type of safety protection for themselves and also for those around them to stop triggers triggering fires as shedding embers land around them. For safety and security reasons drapes for welding have actually been produced to lower hazards such as fires by isolating the area a welder is working in. Welding drapes have actually been particularly developed to reduce the risk of passing employees being injured by triggers as well as stopping melting ashes prior to they could locate a material that is flammable. A welding jacket is a necessity for a lot of welderes. For any welder safety is paramount as well as never ever far from their thoughts. With more than 20 years of precision sheet steel manufacture you can be certain we recognize just what we’re doing as well as that you’ll take advantage of our experience. Naturally, we’re not restricted to stainless steel for our steel construction. Our projects consist of metal light covers, lift panels, copper wall trim, powder-coated steel store components, and a lot more. We additionally deal with aluminum items like sun tones as well as covers.

We bring the very same high standards to our sheet metal fabrication as we do to our stainless products. We are licensed to function with steel manufacture in lots of government classifications including DBE, WBE, SBA accredited SBD, TGB, CERT. We’re acquainted with federal government procedures and also have an online reputation for finishing tasks on time and on spending plan.

Minute details of a monographic drawings were very much moderated and weighed against each other.  3D design programs and photo editing software have expanded the practice of representation by both speeding up and making the practice more complex.  An example Amoroso gives is Fletcher Studio.  “The firms designers are to afraid to design their landscapes parametrically, using Rhinoceros, Grasshopper and RhinoScript software. They test complex form, layout, functionality and overall design through computer rendering, simulation and careful calculation across a range of scales. This is also supported by a collaborative and contextual approach to spatial design practice and to the planning of unique and sustainable landscapes, urban spaces and living infrastructures. Design and planning solutions stem from interaction with the users, processes, histories, policies, economies, and ecologies that are specific to a place.” Pg 59.  Using computer aided design in the landscape design profession, enables the designer to work to 1:1 scale and generate 3D interactive models. Understanding, editing, testing, and representing their designs has been enhanced. Visual communication about the design I would argue is more accessible to the general public. Not everyone can read a floor plan and elevations to visualise a to scale 3D object. However views of a photoshopped, rendering of a design is easier to grasp.  6.1 Horseshoe Cove  Marin Headlands, California.  This reading is perhaps limited to being only a good example of how to visually represent and plan landscape spaces. That may be more helpful  in the application of my research to construct a digital space, (if that is the path I indeed go down on). What I propose however seems to remove a step from these examples processes. Could we experience the designs in the digital stage. All of these beautiful drawings could be experienced in VR and give the benefits of Biophilic design...

with some rhinoScript and more Python now my boring back and forth trips from school are now much more interesting.  Z represents time...i guess...

For those of you interested in scripting this is a collection of handouts I've made for my previous workshops. It's a work in progress, but can be used for learning the basics of automatic geometries.
