		<td>Description:</td>
		<td>This model demonstrates the use of the Taguchi Robust Design component for a dynamic system type.  The example
			system used in this model is illustrated below.  The following factors are defined in this example:
			<ul>
			    <li>Control Factors (7):
			    <ul>
					<li>BoardLength (L)
					<li>BoardWidth (W)
					<li>BoardThickness (T)
					<li>Force (F)
					<li>ModulusOfElasticity (E)
					<li>SpringConstantK1
					<li>SpringConstantK2
			    </ul>
			    <li>Noise Factors (3):
				<ul>
					<li>ForcePosition (L3) - variation in jumping point
					<li>ImpaceForceEffect (delta F) - height of jump, effect on total force
					<li>MaterialVariation (delta E) - variation in Modulus of Elasticity
				</ul>
			    <li>Signal Factor:
				<ul>
					<li>Support Position (L1)
				</ul>
			</ul>
			The response in this case is Deflection (D) of the diving board.
			<p>
			<br>
			The control array is crossed with the noise array for each signal factor level, and the dynamic signal-to-noise ratio
			is measured for each control experiment.  The best/worst factor levels and experiment points are reported.
			<p><br>
			The execution summary reported on the Summary tab of the Runtime Gateway, the Taguchi specific graphs and tables,
			and the interactive Taguchi Main Effects Viewer can be used to review and explore results.

	<th colspan=2>Static System</th>
	<tr>
		<td>Description:</td>
		<td>This model demonstrates the use of the Taguchi Robust Design component for a static system.  The example
			system used in this model is a simple compression spring.  The following factors and responses are defined
			in this example:
			<ul>
			    <li>Control Factors (2):
			    <ul>
					<li>CoilDiameter
					<li>NumberOfCoils
			    </ul>
			    <li>Noise Factors (1):
				<ul>
					<li>WireDiameter
				</ul>
			    <li>Responses:
				<ul>
					<li>Mass (lower-is-better)
					<li>Deflection (higher-is-better)
					<li>ShearStress (lower-is-better)
					<li>SurgeFrequency (higher-is-better)
					<li>SizeLimit (nominal-is-best, target = 1.0)
				</ul>
			</ul>
			The control array (L4) is crossed with the noise array (L2) for a total of 8 experiments. The static
			signal-to-noise ratio is measured for each control experiment, in addition to loss function, mean, variance,
			and sensitivity for nominal-is-best response.  The best/worst factor levels and experiment points are reported.
			<p><br>
			The execution summary reported on the Summary tab of the Runtime Gateway, the Taguchi specific graphs and tables,
			and the interactive Taguchi Main Effects Viewer can be used to review and explore results.
