CNC Lathe Simulator is a software simulator of a numerical control lathe is an educational methodological development intended for basic familiarization of novice machine building specialists with the principles of programming parts turning operations using standard G-code (ISO). The three-dimensional simulation model is based on a lathe with an inclined bed, equipped with a CNC system, a twelve-position turret head, a three-jaw chuck, a tailstock, a system for supplying lubricating and cooling liquid, and other units. The material is processed along two controlled axes. Field of application of the software product: educational process using computer technology: laboratory lessons of students in computer classes, distance learning, demonstration support of lecture material in the group of areas of training and specialties: «Metallurgy, Engineering and Material Processing». The main functions of the application: editing the code of control programs of a lathe, operations with control program files, setting up geometric parameters of a cutting tool, continuous/step-by-step execution of control program blocks, three-dimensional visualization of tool movements in the machine’s workspace, simplified visualization of the workpiece surface, calculation of processing modes, a brief reference guide on using G-code. https://sunspire.site/terms_of_service.html

Timepact is a visual timeline app for exploring history, prehistory, and deep geological time, all in one interactive view. See Time, Not Just Read It See when one thing began and another ended. Whether they ran side by side for a while, or whether a year, a decade, a century or a millennium lies between them. Dates become distances you can actually see. Three Time Scales Move seamlessly between three dedicated modes: Geological (from the Precambrian to today), Prehistoric (from roughly 2.6 million years ago through the Neolithic), and Historical (from the dawn of civilization to the present). Each mode adapts its scale, labels, and navigation to the timespan you're exploring. Built for Deep Time Pinch and zoom across scales spanning billions of years down to individual days. Scientific units (ka, Ma, and Ga) keep geological and archaeological periods clear and precise. Your Own Events, Organized Add personal or historical events, group them into collections, and tag them for quick filtering. The same event can live in several collections. Color-code tags to spot patterns at a glance, and save specific timeline views to return to later. Wikipedia Integration Search Wikipedia from inside the app and it fills in the event for you. Discover what happened on this day in history, pulled directly from Wikipedia. Data You Control Export and import your timeline data, with smart conflict handling when merging collections. Your data syncs across your devices through iCloud. Little Discoveries Along the Way Keep exploring: Timepact hides artefacts throughout the timeline for the curious to find. Multilingual
