[11/04/2002] Presentation. [Updated 11/12/2002] 
(File size: 2.2M. Time allowed: 15-18 min. Content slides: 29.  Subject to modification.)
Improvements over the 26-slide PTMC02 version: 
- Four divider slides added for structural clarity;
- A 3-slide animation added for problem setup; (This should take the time of one normal slide to show. )
- Most of the slides are re-drawn for better visualization and consistency. 
- Format of images optimized to reduce the file size from 6.7M to 2.2M. 
- Considering the time constraints, the picture of Mr. Barton and the loading cycle movie could be removed and saved for ACC 2003. 
[07/17/2002] IMECE02 Load Paper DSC34323 submission ready.
PDF File; Submission Package including .pdf file,  .doc file, 1903 Form and Document Return Form.
