@ FIXTURE

A DEVICE WHICH HOLDS A WORKPIECE IN POSITION IN A MEDICINE TOOL FOR MACHINING, THE WORKPIECE MUST BE HELD IN A PRECISE POSITION, WITH NO ROOM FOR SLIPPAGE, SO IF THE SHAPE IS AT ALL COMPLEX, A SPECIAL FIXTURE IS USUALLY BUILT TO HOLD THE PIECE. ONE CHALLENGE IN THE AUTOMATION OF SMALL-BATCH MANUFACTURING IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF FLEXIBLE FIXTURING SYSTEMS THAT CAN ADAPT TO A WIDE VARIETY OF DIFFERENTLY SIZED AND SHAPED WORKPIECES.

@INTERFACE

LITERALLY, A SHARED BOUNDARY. AN INTERFACE BETWEEN TWO COMPUTER SYSTEMS, SUCH AS INTELLIGENT MACHINE CONTROLLERS, INVOLVES A METHOD FOR PASSING COMMANDS, RESPONSES, AND DATA FROM ONE SYSTEM TO ANOTHER. WHEN THE TWO COMPUTES ARE NOT INHERENTLY COMPATIBLE, THE INTERFACE BECOMES A “TRANSLATOR” BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS. AN INTERFACE CAN ALSO HAVE A PHYSICAL COMPONENT-THE PROPER SET OF CONNECTORS, VOLTAGE LEVELS, AND SO FORTH NECESSARY TO HOOK TWO SYSTEMS TOGETHER. THE COMMON THREE-PRONG ELECTRICAL PLUG IS AN EXAMPLE OF A STANDARDIZED INTERFACE USED IN RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS.
