Industrial robots are introduced to belt grinding processes of free-formed surface with elastic wheel nowadays in order to obtain high quality product and high efficiency. However, it is a laborious task to plan grinding paths and write programs for the robot. To release people from it partially, it is necessary to simulate the belt grinding processes which are useful for path generating and dynamic robot control. In this paper, we present a framework of the robot controlled belt grinding simulation system and some key issues in it. We enhance the global removal model to local process model, which can simulate the grinding process more exactly. We also point out the bottleneck of the real-time simulation and put forward a neural network based regression method to meet this difficulty. At the end of the paper, some simple simulation examples are given.

This paper reports a case study of a knowledge sharing culture in a large Australian consulting firm, Deloitte. An exploratory study was conducted to examine the extent to which knowledge sharing behaviour occurs within Deloitte and its relationships with the firm's core values, structures and practices. The study identified widespread knowledge sharing behaviour as demonstrated by a high degree of communication and collaboration activities. It also identified the firm's core values and corresponding procedures that cultivated trust, redundancy, staff empowerment, motivation and remuneration. Structures and practices were also found to convey a high degree of leadership commitment and provision for continuous learning.

Different imaging techniques are used to pick up the signal of interest in digital sensors, including charge-coupled devices (CCD), complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS), photostimulable phosphors plates (PSP) and tuned-aperture computed tomography (TACT) Digital radiography sensors are divided into: storage phosphor plates (SPP) called photostimulable phosphor plates (PSP), silicon devices such as charge-coupled devices (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS). Relatively new type of imaging that may hold advantage over current radiographic modalities is tuned-aperture computed tomography (TACT).
