Most of these operations are performed using high-speed, automatic machines.
Under a 1999 labor agreement with the Canadian Auto Workers union, Chrysler committed itself to spending several hundred million dollars to construct a large building for the high-speed automatic painting of big vehicles.
An optical character reader (OCR) can be designed to either directly sort mail or mark it with a machine-readable code so that sorting at subsequent stages can be carried out by high-speed automatic machines.
Research in the United States subsequently has concentrated on various systems that print a machine-readable bar code to allow for high-speed automatic processing to individual carrier routes or blocks of addresses within carrier routes.
In 1964 researchers at International Business Machines Corporation IBMM) produced the Selectric Typewriter, a relatively high-speed, automatic typewriter that had a magnetic tape data-storage unit and retrieval device.
In addition, a high-speed automatic targeting and single-ion irradiation system was combined with a two-dimensional microbeam scanning system allowing more than 1000 targets per minute to be hit within a set field of view.
After the code has been impressed, the letter can be sorted at any subsequent stage by high-speed automatic machines, which are no longer utilized at the pace of a single operator and indeed can take the output of several operators.
But in 1979, prompted by a complaint of minimum wage violations, the Labor Department filed a lawsuit against a Vermont ski wear manufacturer who employed 30 women, mostly middle-class, who toiled away in the family rooms of rural New england on high-speed, automatic knitting machines.
It was what we would now recognise as a universal, stored-program computer and it opened up the possibility of applying high-speed automatic digital computations to a wide range of problems.
A high-speed automatic nanolithography technique is proposed in this article, in which a vibrating AFM tip is used to generate both imprinted and embossed nano-patterns with 18 nm linewidth resolution on structure-tailored thin SEBS block copolymer film.
