Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College. The Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College (JNEC) is an engineering college in Aurangabad CIDCO, India. It was established in 1982 and is affiliated with the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University in Maharashtra.

The school is financed and run by the Mahatma Gandhi Mission (MGM). Dr. H. H. Shinde is the principal of the institute.

History 
MGM established an educational trust in 1982 under the guidance of former Education Minister Shri Kamalkishore Kadam and a group of founder members, mostly made up of academics. The trust established its pioneer institute in the historical city of Aurangabad, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites the Ajanta Caves & Ellora Caves, but lacking in premier educational institutes.

Campus 
The foundation stone of the existing MGM's JNEC building was laid on 14 November 1985 by Sharad Pawar, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The college started functioning as a part of Vivekanand College, in Samarth Nagar, Aurangabad, but in September 1988 it was moved to a new location. Initially, the college campus consisted of one arm of the building (the North arm), with the chemistry lab, workshop, production lab, and library spread about it. The computer lab was opened with much fanfare in 1987. The current campus hosts dormitories for boys and girls, a sports facility, a canteen, and a bank. It is shared with other colleges under the MGM banner.

Sports 
MGM's Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College Sports Complex is a sports complex within Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College. The facilities available for sports activities include a 400-meter synthetic track, a football field-cum-cricket ground with 63.5 meters of boundary, a stadium pavilion, and courts for games like hockey, volleyball, basketball, kho-kho, kabaddi, and ball badminton. Facilities are available for indoor games like table tennis, carom, chess, wrestling, weightlifting, and powerlifting.

Alumni 
Since 1983, approximately 10,000 students have pursued their bachelor's at the college. The college established an alumni association to keep in touch with alumni. Previously, an informal alumni association existed, but it is now registered under the association vide letter no MHA/497/04 dated 30 July 2004. , JNEC Alumni association has 2041 members.

Domed label. Domed labels are printed pressure-sensitive labels that have a thick, dome-shaped clear polyurethane coating.

Uses 

Domed labels are used in many applications.  Equipment manufacturers apply them as permanent markings for their products as they are durable, and their three-dimensional appearance catches the eye.

Domed labels are much more permanent than others and do not show wear; the clear polyurethane substance, even after curing (hardening), is self-healing.  Minor scratches or cuts heal themselves, and the label looks new once again.

Several clothing manufacturers use domed labels as disposable items by affixing them to in-store hangers.  The hangers are shaped in such a way that the customer will touch the label first when picking up the article of clothing for inspection.  This initial tactile feel adds to the perceived value of the garment.  Costume jewelers have also used domed labels for their products.

An example of a domed label application for tactile purposes can be seen in the photo.  At the bottom left, there is an example used to label the gearshift knob of an automobile.

Production
The coating can be applied in liquid form in many different ways, ranging from manual application via syringe to optically-guided, automated dispensing equipment.  Once applied, the polyurethane liquid flows to the edge of the label and stops (due to the surface tension of the liquid), hardening into a clear dome.

 The first layer is the label material.  The material can be any print-industry recognized label material (from paper to many forms of plastic).
 The second layer is the ink.  The label can be multiple colors, photo-quality graphics, or simple text.  The ink is applied using screen or digital print technology.
 After the ink has cured (dried), the labels are laser- or die-cut and the waste material between labels removed from the press sheet.
 The liquid polyurethane material is then applied to the labels on the press sheet and left to cure.

Toyota Motor Corporation Tahara plant. The  is an automobile plant in Tahara, Aichi, Japan owned by Toyota Motor Corporation. The address is 3–1 Midorigahama, Tahara City, Aichi Prefecture.

History
The Tahara plant began vehicle production in January 1979. The plant was built on reclaimed land, and the site currently spans 4.03 million square meters. 

It is the most computerized and robotized automotive plant in the world and produces Lexus brand vehicles, including the Lexus IS, Lexus GS, Lexus LS, Lexus GX, Lexus RC, and Lexus LX, Lexus NX, Lexus LM models. Several Toyota vehicles have been assembled there as well, including the Celica, Land Cruiser, Land Cruiser Prado, RAV4/Vanguard, 4Runner and the ultra-luxury Century SUV. The plant also manufactures engines, including their V8 engines, one of only two Toyota plants globally which manufactures such engine types. Current Toyota vehicles being produced at the Tahara plant are the following: Toyota 4Runner.

Employees look through 4,000 details for every car produced. The plant creates a Lexus every 87 seconds, equal to 675 Lexus models per day. When employees enter the factory floor, they pass through an air shower to remove dust. They are required to exercise and perform other physical activities such as holding and rolling golf balls in their palms. These motor exercises keep staff sharp, and Toyota believes these behaviors are essential to help retain the standards necessary to produce flawless vehicles.

The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman visited the plant in the early 1990s, and described the experience as an example of globalization in his best-selling 1999 book, The Lexus and the Olive Tree. In his book, Friedman detailed the precise installation of windshield rubber seals by the factory's robots, along with human quality controls.

VSTS Profiler. Visual Studio Team System Profiler is a commercial profiler offered by Microsoft, available as part of the Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) suite and the Development Edition of Visual Studio. It can work either in sampling mode, in which the snapshot of the program state is recorded at certain intervals, or in instrumentation mode, where statistic gathering probes are injected at entry and exit point of functions. While the instrumentation mode allows more accurate statistics to be gathered, it also makes the program run more slowly while being profiled.

The VSTS profiler helps to optimize performance of code targeted for the .NET Framework platform or natively compiled Visual C++ code. Modern versions of the VSTS profiler can be used to profile both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows programs. The profiler reports performance characteristics for methods which are called during a given run of the profiler including the number of calls to the function and the call stack when the function was called.

From within the profiler, the application is launched and executed normally for a period of time. When the user decides to exit the program, the profiler gives a summary of the number of times that each function was called, the elapsed time of each function, and the memory consumed by objects.

A standalone version of the VSTS profiler can also be installed from the Visual Studio Team System DVD, and is also available for download on the Microsoft website.  While the standalone profiler can be installed or used on any platform, the results it collects can only be analyzed in a version of Visual Studio which includes the profiler.

James McConnell (engineer). James Edward McConnell (1815–1883) was one of the first locomotive engineers of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR).  He was Locomotive Superintendent of the LNWR's Southern Division at Wolverton railway works from 1847 to 1862 and oversaw the design of the "Bloomer" and "Patent" locomotives. He was also one of the founding members of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and its first chairman, discussing the issue of an institute in 1846 at Bromsgrove.

Biography
McConnell was born at Fermoy, County Cork, Ireland, on 1 January 1815.

In July 1841 McConnell joined the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway as foreman of locomotives. 

Since the Rainhill Trials in 1829, it had been accepted that the smoke emitted by burning coal was a nuisance. Railway companies accepted the need to burn coke (a smokeless fuel) in their locomotives, but this was much more expensive than coal, and several locomotive engineers sought a method by which coal could be burned smokelessly. One such engineer was McConnell, who designed a boiler suitable for coal in 1852.

McConnell died at Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, England, on 11 June 1883.

Francis Trevithick. Francis Trevithick (1812–1877), from Camborne, Cornwall, was one of the first locomotive engineers of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR).

Life 
Born in 1812 as the son of Richard Trevithick, he began the study of civil engineering around 1832, and by 1840 was employed by the Grand Junction Railway (GJR).

After leaving the LNWR he returned to Cornwall and became factor of the Trehidy estates, of which his grandfather had been mineral agent in the 18th century. He wrote a biography of his father and, in 1872, had it published. He died at Penzance on 27 October 1877 and was buried there.

His son, Arthur Reginald Trevithick (1858-1939), worked for many years on the LNWR, including several years as assistant locomotive works manager at Crewe. Another son, Frederick Harvey Trevithick (1852-1931), worked for both the Great Western Railway and the Egyptian State Railways and at the latter advanced to Chief Mechanical Engineer. Another son, Richard Francis Trevithick (1845-1913) originally worked on the LNER, but later worked for Rosaario Cordova Railway in Argentine, CME Ceylon Government Railways and then joined Japan's Imperial Government Railways where he was the Locomotive Superintendent responsible for the first locomotive to be constructed in Japan (at Kobe).

Career 
 1840 Appointed resident engineer on the GJR between Birmingham and Crewe
 1841 Appointed Locomotive Superintendent of the GJR at Edge Hill railway works, Liverpool
 1843 Transferred to the new works at Crewe as Locomotive Superintendent. Trevithick's foreman at Crewe was Alexander Allan, who handled much of the design work.
 1846 When the GJR became part of the LNWR, Francis Trevithick became Locomotive Superintendent of the Northern Division. His opposite number on the Southern Division (formerly the London and Birmingham Railway), was Edward Bury until his resignation in 1847, and from March in that year J. E. McConnell. 
 1857 Northern and North Eastern (formerly the Manchester and Birmingham Railway) Divisions of the LNWR were combined. The Locomotive Superintendent on the North Eastern Division was John Ramsbottom, who took over at Crewe and Trevithick was obliged to resign.

On 2 September 1848 Trevithick was aboard a light engine which struck the wreckage of an earlier derailment and was itself derailed, near Newton Road railway station.

Alexander Allan (locomotive engineer). Alexander Allan (1809-1891) was a Scottish mechanical engineer. He was born at Montrose, Angus, in 1809 and died at Scarborough, Yorkshire on 2 June 1891.

Biography
Allan was born in Montrose, Angus, Scotland in 1809.  He undertook a apprenticeship to Mr. Gibb, a millwright.  In 1832 aged about 23 he took a position at Robert Stephenson and Company, Newcastle upon Tyne.  By 1834 he had moved to Liverpool and taken up a position with George Forrester and Company who were about to begin building railway locomotives.

Allan was works manager for George Forrester and Company until 1840. He was the engineer sent for a year to supervise the maintenance of the three Forrester engines Vauxhall, Dublin and Kingstown for the first year of their service at Dublin and Kingstown Railway in 1834.

From 1843 to 1853 he was Works Manager at the Crewe Works of the Grand Junction Railway, later London and North Western Railway, under Francis Trevithick. He later claimed the credit for designing the Crewe type locomotive with inclined cylinders and double frames, but this claim has been challenged.  From 1853 to 1865 he was Locomotive Superintendent of the Scottish Central Railway.  Allan was an original member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1847.

Inventions

Allan made a number of inventions, including a balanced slide valve, but the best-known is his straight-link valve gear of 1855.
