The \LaTeX\ macro \verb+asme.sty+ and template \verb+asme.tex+ that create this article are available on the WWW at the URL address for the conference as well as at \verb@http://iel.ucdavis.edu/code/.@ You should not modify \LaTeX\ macro \verb+asme.sty+ for an ASME paper. The abstract of an ASME paper should be less than 150 words. Instructions for submitting the electronic version of a paper through ftp for publication in the CD-ROM proceedings are given in the extended abstract for this paper. \end{abstract} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{nomenclature} \entry{A}{You may include nomenclature here.} \entry{$\alpha$}{There are two arguments for each entry of the nomemclature environment.} \end{nomenclature} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{INTRODUCTION} The spacing between abstract and the text heading is two line spaces. The primary text heading is boldface in all capitals, flushed left with the left margin. The spacing between the text and the heading is also two line spaces. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LONG HEADING} If the heading should run into more than one line, the run-over is flush left. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsection*{Second-Level Heading} The next level of heading is boldface with upper and lower case letters. The heading is flushed left with the left margin. The spacing to the next heading is two line spaces. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \subsubsection*{Third-Level Heading.} The third-level of heading follows the style of the second-level heading, but it is indented and followed by a period, a space, and its text. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{PAPER NUMBER} ASME assigns each accepted paper with a unique number. Replace {\bf DETC98/DAC-1234} with the paper number supplied to you by ASME for your paper. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{USE OF SI UNITS} An ASME paper should use SI units. When U.S. customary units are given preference, the SI equivalent shall be provided in parenthesis or in a supplementary table. When preference is given to SI units, the U.S. customary units may be given in the parenthesis or omitted. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{MATHEMATICS} Equations should be numbered consecutively beginning with (1) to the end of the paper, including any appendices. The number should be enclosed in parenthesis and set flush right in the column on the same line as the equation. An extra line of space should be left above and below a displayed equation or formula. \LaTeX\ can automatically keep track of equation numbers in the paper and format almost any equation you want as shown in equation~(\ref{eq_ASME}). \begin{equation} f(t) = \int_{0_+}^t F(t) dt + \frac{d g(t)}{d t} \label{eq_ASME} \end{equation} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{FIGURES AND TABLES} All figures should be positioned at the top of the page where possible. All figures should be numbered consecutively and captioned; the caption uses all capital letters, and centered under the figure as shown in Figure~\ref{figure_ASME}. All text within the figure should be no smaller than 7~pt. There should be a minimum two line spaces between figures and text. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin figure %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{figure}[t] \begin{center} \setlength{\unitlength}{0.012500in}% \begin{picture}(115,35)(255,545) \thicklines \put(255,545){\framebox(115,35){}} \put(275,560){Beautiful Figure} \end{picture} \end{center} \caption{THE CAPTION OF THE FIGURE USES CAPITAL LETTERS.} \label{figure_ASME} \end{figure} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end figure %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin table %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{table}[t] \caption{THE CAPTION OF THE TABLE USES CAPITAL LETTERS.} \begin{center} \label{table_ASME} \begin{tabular}{c l l} \hline Example & Time & Cost \\ \hline 1 & 12.5 & \$1,000 \\ 2 & 24 & \$2,000 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{table} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end table %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% All tables should be numbered consecutively and captioned; the caption should use all capital letters, and centered above the table as shown in Table~\ref{table_ASME}. The body of the table should be no smaller than 7 pt. There should be a minimum two line spaces between tables and text. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{FOOTNOTES\protect\footnotemark} \footnotetext{This is how a footnote is given in a head.} Footnotes are referenced with superscript numerals and are numbered consecutively from 1 to the end of the paper\footnote{Avoid using footnotes.}. Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the column in which they are referenced. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section*{CITING REFERENCES} Within the text, references should be cited giving the last name of the author(s) and the year of publication of the reference. The year should always be enclosed in parentheses; whether or not the name of the author(s) should be enclosed within the parentheses depends on the context. References should be listed together at the end of the paper. References should be arranged in alphabetical order according to the last name of the author, or the last name of the first-named author for papers with more than one author. ASME manual (1991) has more information on reference citation and preparing ASME paper in general. Details on using the \LaTeX\ can be found in reference \cite{latex}. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{acknowledgment} Thanks go to D. E. Knuth and L.
