The need exists in the private sector and government manufacturing
sites to reduce product development time, production lead times,
inventory, and non-value added activities. At the same time, there
is increased pressure to improve manufacturing process yields,
produc tion efficiency, and resource utilization. Much of the
technology required to meet these needs already exists, but an
integrated structure that can demonstrate the potential for the
technology in a concurrent engineering context does not. This book
provides a road map for building the integrated technology
environment to evaluate existing products, manufacturing processes
and system design tools. This book details innovative approaches
that will significantly improve design/manufacturing technology
development and deploy ment capabilities for civilian and defense
applications. These approaches are integrated product, process, and
system design (IPPSD) initiatives which will greatly enhance the
manufacturing competitiveness of the economy. These approaches
involve the use of simulation, modeling tools and computerized
virtual workstations in conjunction with a design environment which
allows a diverse group of researchers, manufacturers, and suppliers
to work within a comprehensive network of shared knowledge. The
IPPSD infrastructure consists of virtual workstations, servers and
a suite of simulation, quantitative, computa tional, analytical,
experimental and qualitative tools. Such an IPPSD infrastructure
will permit effective and efficient predictions of complete product
design, manufacturing proces design, and customer satisfac tion.
In today's business environment, reliability and maintenance
drastically affect the three key elements of competitiveness -
quality, cost, and product lead time. Well-maintained machines hold
tolerances better, help reduce scrap and rework, and raise
consistency and quality of the part in addition to cutting total
production costs. Today, many factories are still performing
maintenance on equipment in a reactive manner due to a lack of
understanding about machine performance behaviour. To improve
production efficiency, computer-aided maintenance and diagnostic
methodology must be applied effectively in manufacturing. This book
focuses on the fundamental principles of predictive maintenance and
diagnostic engineering. In addition to covering the relevant
theory, techniques and methodologies in maintenance engineering,
the book also provides numerous case studies and examples
illustrating the successful application of the principles and
techniques outlined.

Cell surface engineering is an emerging field concerning cell
surface modifications to enhance its functionalities. The book
introduces the reader to the area of surface-functionalized cells
and summarizes recent developments in the area including
fabrication, characterization, applications and nanotoxicity.
Topics covered include recent approaches for the functionalization
of cells with nanomaterials (polymer nanofilms and nanoparticles),
fabrication of functional biomimetic devices and assemblies based
on nanoparticle-modified microbial cells and artificial spores (the
bioinspired encapsulation of living cells with tough nanoshells)
The book provides an interdisciplinary approach to the topic with
authors from both biological and chemical backgrounds. This
multidisciplinary view makes the book suitable for those interested
in biomaterials, biochemistry, microbiology and colloid chemistry,
providing both an introduction for postgraduate students as well as
a comprehensive summary for those already working in the area
biomaterials, biochemistry, microbiology and colloid chemistry.
