Autodesk Inventor Essentials

This course covers the fundamental principles of 3D parametric part design, assembly design, and creating production-ready part and assembly drawings using Autodesk Inventor. Delegates learn how to capture design intent by using the proper techniques and recommended workflows for creating intelligent 3D parametric parts; creating, placing, and constraining custom and standard components in an assembly; and simulating mechanisms, animating assembly designs, and checking for interferences. Delegates also learn how to document their designs using base, projected, section, detail, and isometric drawing views; document assemblies using standard and exploded drawing views; and follow drafting standards while dimensioning and annotating drawing views with automated balloons and parts lists. Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.

Course Duration: 4 days

Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the principal 3D design, validation, and documentation processes that they will use to develop products using Autodesk Inventor.

Developed exclusively for use with Nikon DX Format digital SLR cameras, this lightweight, compact zoom lens is an excellent match for the new Nikon D2H digital SLR camera.

The 17-55mm range exceeds 3x zoom to broaden wide angle to medium telephoto photographic possibilities, and the lens maintains fast f/2.8 aperture throughout to make it practical and easy to use. When mounted on any of the Nikon D2H, D1-series or D100 digital SLR cameras, the picture angle is the equivalent to 25.5 to 82.5mm on a 35mm [135] format camera.

The range and image quality makes this the lens professionals and advanced enthusiasts will use most with Nikon DX Format digital SLR cameras for shooting portraits and close-ups, as well as nature studies. It also complements the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED lens in Nikon's expanding DX Nikkor lens lineup.

Nikon established yet stricter evaluation standards for the new lens, and it achieves greater picture resolution as a result. The newly developed optical system employed includes three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that minimize chromatic aberration and three aspherical lenses that minimize distortion.

Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures fast, quiet autofocus. And the nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening provides a rich, natural look to out-of-focus elements.

With its useful wide range and high quality performance, this compact, lightweight lens will help win a warm place for the Nikon DX format in the hearts of Digital SLR users.

Protecting Canon's finest quality L-series lenses with a robust, waterproof housing, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars provide unrivaled clarity, and stabilized field scoping performance.

The 10x42L IS WP binoculars are the first from Canon to be engraved with the hallowed red L-series ring: a mark until now reserved for Canon's finest professional photographic lenses; the pinnacle of Canon's heritage in precision optics design and manufacture.

Raising optical performance standards, the binoculars feature 2 Ultra-low Dispersion glass (UD) lens elements on each side. Developed by Canon, these elements are effective in eliminating chromatic aberration - the rainbow-like distortion that affects lesser quality binoculars. The result is super bright, high-contrast, 10x magnification viewing clarity.

To suppress vibrations caused by viewing hand-held, on moving vehicles or boats, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars include Canon's Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Image Stabilizer (IS). Tiny gyros detect the slightest movements, while a microprocessor controls a special prism to correct the refraction angle of incoming light.

Designed to survive the toughest outdoor conditions, the 10x42L IS WP binoculars are fully waterproof. The design incorporates a distinctive easy-grip for wet conditions, and a robust rubber coating to withstand all your adventures.

To prevent fogging on internal lens elements caused by the ingress of moisture, all exterior surfaces are treated with a special metallic coating. This works in concert with special O-rings and use of waterproof adhesives on all external contact points to prevent water molecules permeating the outside casing.

All the lens element surfaces are treated with Canon's Super Spectra coatings. These ensure vivid high-contrast images with accurate color balance by eliminating unwanted internal reflections that cause 'ghosting' (secondary images) and 'flare' (low contrast, washed out images). The exceptionally large 4.2mm exit pupil allows a bright field of view in low light conditions.

Every aspect of the 10x42L IS WP binoculars is designed around viewing comfort. A wide 65° angle of view gets plenty of horizon into view, while a 16mm Long Eye Relief minimizes vignetting (or the 'tunnel effect') that can affect prescription glasses wearers. A correction lock prevents unintentional dioptric correction errors, and the extending eyecups can be rotated for customized fitting.

The 4GE Security Services Module (SSM) is an optional I/O card for the adaptive security appliance. The 4GE SSM expands the total number of ports available on the security appliance, providing four additional ports with Ethernet (RJ-45) or SFP (fiber optic) connections.

The LV-series multimedia projectors feature a large-diameter multi-group projection lens system, which provides low image distortion and exceptionally uniform brightness. Several optional interchangeable lenses are available. The LV-IL02 is a wide-angle zoom lens (short-throw) designed for applications where the largest possible image must be displayed from a very short distance while the zoom provides the ability to adjust the image size instead of moving the projector.

Do more, experience more, grow more. More space, with larger screen sizes. More style, with a new design. More options, with new USB speakers and an expansion slot.

Equipped with the latest breakthroughs in document imaging technology and features, the fi-5650C demonstrates Fujitsu's further advancements in the low-volume production color scanner market. The fi-5650C scanner is ergonomically designed with dual control panels that enable both left- and right-handed users to access the scanner according to their needs - even front side operation is an option. This design allows the operator to adapt the scanner according to specific space requirements, and due to the scanner's extremely compact design it takes up very little office space.

The Fujitsu fi-5650C is unique in offering two independent methods to detect and help avoid document double-feeds. Sophisticated ultrasonic double-feed detection technology, coupled with length sensors, allows users to prevent lost images and enables larger batches of mixed document types to be automatically scanned quickly and reliably. Either detection method can be used separately or combined to accommodate a wide variety of document environments.
