William Edwards Deming

I admired him because he is considered by many as the father of modern quality control. he create the 14 steps of quality He was an American statistician, professor, author, lecturer and consultant. Deming is widely credited with improving production in the United States during World War II, although he is perhaps best known for his work in Japan. There, from 1950 onward he taught top management how to improve design, product quality, testing and sales through various methods, including the application of statistical methods. Deming made a significant contribution to Japan's later renown for innovative high-quality products and its economic power. He is regarded as having had more impact upon Japanese manufacturing and business than any other individual not of Japanese heritage. Despite being considered something of a hero in Japan, he was only beginning to win widespread recognition in the U.S. at the time of his death.
Deming received a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Wyoming at Laramie (1921), an M.S from the University of Colorado (1925), and a Ph.D. from Yale University (1928). Both graduate degrees were in mathematics and physics. Deming had an internship at Bell Telephone Laboratories while studying at Yale. He subsequently worked at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Census Department. While working under Gen. Douglas MacArthur as a census consultant to the Japanese government, he famously taught statistical process control methods to Japanese business leaders, returning to Japan for many years to consult and to witness economic growth that he had predicted as a result of application of techniques learned from Walter Shewhart at Bell Laboratories. Later, he became a professor at New York University
while engaged as an independent consultant in Washington, D.C.
Deming was the author of Out of the Crisis (1982–1986) and The New Economics for Industry, Government, Education (1993), which includes his System of Profound Knowledge and the 14 Points for Management (described below). Deming played flute & drums and composed music throughout his life, including sacred choral compositions and an arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner
In 1993, Deming founded the W. Eduards Deming Institute in Washington, D.C., where the Deming Collection at the U.S. Library of Congress includes an extensive audiotape and videotape archive. The aim of the W. Edwards Deming Institute is to foster understanding of The Deming System of Profound Knowledge to advance commerce, prosperity and peace

Gabriel Perez!!

Gabriel Perez is another friend of my class of english 7
He define Engineering as a science and profession that applies technical and scientific knowledge and uses mathematical and physical laws to design and implement structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that meet certain goal.
He was influenced on eletronics engineering because science he was a kid he always liked electrical & electronic things.. besides, he thinks electronics is the future and it´s a career that has a high demand. He told me that the eduactional process required to become an engineer was be graduate from high school and liked mathematics and physics.
Some other things he told me was what kind of skills and engineer needed to be good, like be good at analyzing and solving problems, fast and efficiently. He was talking about where he would like to work when he completed his education and he said that he would like to work in a foreign country in a big oil company earning a lot of money.


We were talking about what is the most difficult part of being an engineering student and well I´m agree with him because the most difficult part of being an engineering student is that we had to study a lot all the time. We share some plans for the future like buy a house and a car, travel around the world, do a masters degree, work in a big oil company.

He told me one thing that makes me laugh a lot because he said that the most gratifying moment in Engineering school was every time he gets a better grade than his friends.
We also be agree with why would we recommend Engineering as a career and well because it´s a very interesting career and is important for the development of the world

Fluid-Power Solenoids Advantages Now Available in Standard Industrial Solenoids

News Release from: Magnet Schultz Ltd20/11/2007
Industrial applications will benefit from Emessem Solenoid's latest edition to the solenoid/actuator market with the launch of the Tube-Form Solenoid. A high performance solenoid, the Tube-Form Solenoid provides all the protection and lower production cost advantages associated with fluid-power solenoids yet are available as standard industrial devices.
Developed by Emessem Solenoid’s parent company, Magnet-Schultz, the coil body and armature of the Tube-Form Solenoid are manufactured in two distinct assemblies. This enables manufacturers to mount the solenoid separately for easier assembly, replace the coil without dismounting the unit and interchange coils of differing voltage to reduce stock holding.Protection rated to IP65, the compact coil is moulded with the connector system as a single component thereby providing a high degree of sealing and mechanical protection.

ASSEMBLIES
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: \ə-ˈsem-blē\
Example sentence: develop by Emessem Solenoid´s parent company, Magnet-Schultz, the coil body and armature of the Tube-Form Solenoid are manufactured in two distinct assemblies.
Meaning: the fitting together of manufactured parts into a complete machine, structure, or unit of a machine.

SOLENOID
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: \ˈsō-lə-ˌnȯid, ˈsä-\
Example sentence:this enables manufactures to mount the solenoid separately for easier assembly...
Meaning:a coil of wire usually in cylindrical form that when carrying a current acts like a magnet so that a movable core is drawn into the coil when a current flows and that is used especially as a switch or control for a mechanical device (as a valve)

I chose this article because a think it was interesting and important to know, because it´s a new form that provides all the protection and lower production cost advantages associated with fluid-power solenoids yet are available as standard industrial devices.
