Flexible Learning is a set of educational philosophies and systems, concerned with providing learners with increased choice, convenience, and personalisation to suit the learner. In particular, flexible learning provides learners with choices about where, when, and how learning occurs. Sometimes also referred to as personalized learning . Flexible learning is a term often used in New Zealand and Australia http www.emeraldinsight.com 10.1108 10650740810866576 see Shurville et al. 2008 Flexible learning approaches are often designed using a full range of teaching and learning theories, philosophies and methods to provide students with opportunities to access information and expertise, contribute ideas and opinions, and correspond with other learners and mentors. This may occur through the use of internet based tools such as Virtual learning environment Virtual Learning Environments VLEs or Learning Management Systems LMSes , discussion boards or chat rooms and may be designed as a blended approach, with content available electronically and remotely, as well as face to face classroom tutorials and lectures. While the majority of flexible learning programs to date have taken advantage of computer based systems E learning , the rapidly increase in the processing power and popularity of mobile digital devices has recently caused considerable interest in M learning mobile learning the use of mobile devices such as mobile phones, iPods, and Personal Digital Assistants PDAs to increase the mobility of learners and correspondingly enhance the flexibility of their learning.

multiple issues confusing March 2009 expert March 2009 notability March 2009 original research March 2009 unreferenced March 2009 orphan September 2009 Flexible contracts , or flexible power supply contracts is a term used in the power supply industry in the United Kingdom . Historically, in the UK, all users of power were on one of a range of standard tariffs, which varied with the type of usage, the shape of the profile, location etc. All costs energy, metering, delivery, were wrapped up into a single or perhaps several Watt power kWh figure, and perhaps a demand charge. The key point is that in these tariffs the actually energy cost is wrapped up with all the other charges metering, transmission and so forth. In a flexible power supply contract a user enters into a contract with an Energy Supplier who undertakes to deliver and meter the power purchased by the user, but not for the purchase of that power. This type of delivery contract is entered into on a specific date, usually for a specific period of time 1 year being the typical minimum The Flexible contract then allows the user to contracts separately for the actual power he requires, directly with a generator over the lifetime of that delivery contract. If say a flexible contract covers an 18 month ahead period, then the holder of the contract can choose when to buy power typically in tranches of months at any point in that forward looking 18 month period. Availability This is generally only applicable to large users of power able to have a dedicated purchasing team studying market data , or a purchasing consultant, who will pick the best time to buy power for selected periods ahead fixing . Advantages One of the claimed advantages is that by judicious studying the market, and choosing optimal time for purchase, and if necessary and appropriate selling back unfixing considerable gains can be made. Typical Energy Companies offering flexible contracts are for example Centrica, EDF, GDF, Eon, The company arrang ... more details

Due to increasing demands within the field of automation technology in the 1980s, such as increasing loads, moving cables guided inside cable carriers often failed, although the cable carriers themselves did not. In extreme cases, failures caused by corkscrews and core ruptures brought entire production lines to a standstill, at high cost. As a result, specialist, highly flexible cables were developed with unique characteristics to differentiate them from standard designs. These are sometimes called chain suitable, high flex, or continuous flex cables. A higher level of flexibility means the service life of a cable inside a cable carrier can be greatly extended. A normal cable typically manages 50,000 cycles, but a dynamic cable can complete between one and three million cycles. Image 150 1 CFBRAID Small .JPG thumb right Here the cable conductors are stranded into bundles Construction Flexible cables can be divided into two types those with conductors stranded in layers inside the cable, and those that have bundled or braided conductors. Stranding in layers Stranding in layers is easier to produce, and therefore usually less expensive.

Product optimization is the practice of making changes or adjustments to a product to make it more desirable. Description A product has a number of attributes. For example, a soda bottle can have different packaging variations, flavors, nutritional values. It is possible to optimize a product by making minor adjustments. Typically, the goal is to make the product more desirable and to increase marketing metrics such as Purchase Intent, Believability, Frequency of Purchase, etc. Methods Multivariate optimization is one of the most common methods for product optimization. In this method, multiple product attributes are specified and then tested with consumers. Due to complex interaction effects between different attributes for example, consumers frequently associate certain flavors with packaging colors , it is problematic to use mathematical methods, such as Conjoint Analysis, typically used in industrial process optimization. More recently companies started to adopt Evolutionary Optimization techniques for Product optimization. Evolutionary algorithms such as IDDEA are used to optimize products, concepts and messaging.

refimprove date September 2008 Image FlexiblesFertigungssystem.jpg thumb A typical FMS. A flexible manufacturing system FMS is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of Flexibility engineering flexibility that allows the system to react in the case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories, which both contain numerous subcategories. The first category, machine flexibility , covers the system s ability to be changed to produce new product types, and ability to change the order of operations executed on a part. The second category is called routing flexibility , which consists of the ability to use multiple machine s to perform the same operation on a part, as well as the system s ability to absorb large scale changes, such as in volume, capacity, or capability. Most FMS consist of three main systems. The work machines which are often automated CNC machines are connected by a material handling system to optimize parts flow and the central control computer which controls material movements and machine flow. The main advantages of an FMS is its high flexibility in managing manufacturing resources like time and effort in order to manufacture a new product. The best application of an FMS is found in the production of small sets of products like those from a mass production . Advantages Reduced manufacturing ...
