Figure 39.5 The octree representation of a solid object. Any volume can be broken down into octants, which are then identified as solid, void, or partially filled. Shown is two-dimensional version, or quadtree, for representation of shapes in a plane.

Routing Sheet
Figure 39.6 An example of a simple routing sheet. These operation sheets may include additional information on materials, tooling, estimated time for each operation, processing parameters (such as cutting speeds and feeds), and other information. The routing sheet travels with the part from operation to operation. The current trend is to store all relevant data in computers and to affix to the part a bar code that serves as a key into the database of parts information.

Figure 39.15 Three basic types of topology for a local area network (LAN) (a) The star topology is suitable for situations that are not subject to frequent configuration changes. All messages pass through a central station. Telephone systems in office buildings usually have this type of topology. (b) In the ring topology all individual user stations are connected in a continuous ring. The message is forwarded from one station to the next until it reaches its assigned destination. Although the wiring is relatively simple, the failure of one station shuts down the entire network. (c) In the bus topology all stations have independent access to the bus. This system is reliable and is easier than the other two to service. Because its arrangement is similar to the layout of the machines in the factory, its installation is relatively easy, and it can be reagrranged when the machines are rearranged.

Expert System
Figure 39.17 Basic structure of an expert system. The knowledge base consists of knowledge rules (general information about the problem) and the inference rules (the way conclusions are reached). The results may be communicated to the user through the natural-language interface. Source: K. W. Goff, Mechanical Engineering, October 1985.
