That is why if your unit is not as efficient as it should be, then you could end up spending a lot of money. Fortunately, there are things that you can do in order to make your HVAC system more efficient.\nChange Your Filter on a Regular Basis\nMost air filters need to be changed every one to three months. Your filter traps dirt, dust and pollen. If your filter is not changed, then those particles will be circulated throughout the air. A dirty filter can also reduce the efficiency of your unit.\nGet Annual Maintenance\nMany people believe that they do not need the assistance of a professional if there is nothing wrong with their unit. However, it is important to get professional maintenance at least once a year. This will make your unit more efficient. It will also help your HVAC system last a lot longer.\nDo Not Close the Vent\nMany people think that if they close the vents in the rooms they are not using, then they will be able to save energy. However, this can cause your HVAC system to work harder. If you want to select which areas of your home, then you will need to talk to a HVAC expert. They can create zones in your home.\nClean off Your Unit\nLeaves and tree limbs can obstruct airflow. This can put a strain on your HVAC system by causing it to work harder. You will need to clean your outside unit off on a regular basis.\nUpgrade Your HVAC System\nAir conditioners are designed to last 8 to 10 years. If your HVAC system is nearing the 8-year-mark, then it is time for you to upgrade to one that is more energy-efficient. New HVAC systems are designed to do the same amount of work and use less energy. New HVAC systems are also better for the environment. Furthermore, a new HVAC system will last longer.\nThese tips should all help homeowners get the most out of their HVAC systems. Many of them apply to commercial and industrial HVAC as well. If you are looking to maximize the lifespan of your industrial HVAC system though you should probably work with a professional like ACSIS Air conditioning Warehouse or someone similar to ensure that your needs are met.

Touted as a “Monocoque Design” (an Aircraft design term) the trailer was and still is truly a futuristic approach to trailer design. The concept offers much efficiency to the mode of hauling many bulk commodities. It’s light weight durable design brings greater payloads with lower maintenance costs. The body of the trailer resembles an air wing design in which the body panels become the primary structure of the trailer while the internal supports and braces work in unison with the function of the trailer to maintain its integrity. The roll formed, smooth side wall design not only delivers a second to none look, but it also brings you the benefit of fuel efficiency due to less wind drag when compared to trailers with external support ribs and members.\nThe curved upper hopper side wall design allows the product to unload from the center without abrading the side sheets thus reducing maintenance and prolonging the life of the trailer. The completely enclosed front and rear voids house all air and electrical systems and their components. With the exception of the gate cylinders and the air brake chambers, these components are housed out of harm’s way, reducing maintenance costs and preventing costly downtime. Resale value of the Bullet™ trailer in the secondary market typically is higher than what you would expect. Users want them no matter what the age. Since they are seldom available because of their long life cycle, their market value stays high. We look forward to working with you to build the Bullet™ trailer that best meets your needs while reinforcing your bottom line.\nHistory of “The Bullet”\nThe Bullet™ aluminum bottom dump was designed by a group of aluminum tank trailer craftsmen in Billings, Montana at a small company called Billings Tank in the mid-1970s. Beall Corporation purchased Billings Tank in the late ‘70’s and began developing a market for the Bullet™ trailer concept first in the Coal industry. Throughout the ‘80’s the Bullet™ trailer became prominent in the Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming coal markets. In the mid ‘80’s the Bullet design was further developed for use in the sand and gravel industry. The low side-height design proved to be a strong trailer that out performed most steel bottom dumps and became known at that time as “The Bullet” not only because of its general appearance but also because it was known to be “Bullet Proof” in its working environment. Continuous production of the Bullet trailers throughout the next 30 years allowed the design to improve, with numerous models for a wide array of applications. The Bullet™ trailer design now serves a multitude of industries ranging from Aggregates, Coal, Fertilizer, Fly Ash, Limestone, Mill Tailings, Mining Ore, Petroleum Coke, Salt, Sand, Sugar Beets, and more. Today many of the original trailers are still in operation daily, providing the same service they did when originally built.\nThe Aulick family purchased the Bullet™ enterprise from Beall Corporation in January of 2013. To insure the same quality and designs that have been developed over the last 40 years, the newly formed company of Bullet™ Trailer by ShirAul, LLC. retained the entire Sunnyside factory work force along with the employment of the administrative staff, all comprised of longtime Beall employees. The combined years of service with all of the employees totals over 200 years of Bullet™ trailer experience.

In relation to the engine manufacturing industry, AM is capable of replacing a number of traditional manufacturing processes in the long run, but in today’s engines we only see a limited share of AM parts.\nIn this paper we aim to define the direction of design and process adaptation of parts, units and assemblies that comprise gas turbine engines and gas turbine power plants.\nThe object of this study is a turbine wheel of a small turboshaft engine with a wheel diameter of 113 mm. The turbine is tested in a small turboshaft engine, as a part of its rotor that rotates at a rate up to 90,000 rpm, which dictates the need for the precise manufacturing of the said part .\nSelective Laser Melting (SLM) is a very promising technique for manufacturing turbomachine turbine wheels, as it has a number of advantages that the traditional subtractive technologies lack.\nThe advantages of SLM relevant to manufacturing turbine wheels include :\n• The ability to produce external surfaces of parts with highly complex geometry;\n• The ability to construct internal cavities and passages;\n• The ability to construct internal lattice structures;\n• No need for extra equipment and cutting tools that are crucial to produce objects with similar structure using the traditional manufacturing techniques;\n• Efficient use of the materials (up to 95%);\n• No need to create program instructions for CNC machine.\nAt the same time, when using SLM to manufacture turbomachine turbine wheels, it is important to keep in mind a number of issues that appear in connection with the features of the technology:\n• The necessity of using supporting structures;\n• High internal residual stress that may lead to warpage and deformation of parts on the build platform;\n• The design of internal cavities or structures should provide the ability to remove residual powder materials;\n• It often happens that surface roughness of parts produced by SLM is unsatisfactory for the conditions of the working mass flow.\nII. Basic SLM Principles\nTo deliver power to metal powders it is necessary to focus the laser beam in a spot of minimal diameter, which will align the focal plane of the optical system of the SLM machine and the plane of the build platform. When this condition is met, it creates the necessary surface power density to fuse the powder material. We distinguish several core processes that occur on the heated bed when a laser beam scans a layer of powder material deposited on the substrate. Absorption of laser radiation energy by the powder material, which forms a molten pool, is followed by transfer of the quantity of heat into the mass of the substrate, transfer of the quantity of heat into the powder material, as well as a loss of the quantity of heat through radiation and convection. Simultaneously to the mentioned processes the alloyed material on the heated bed experiences mass loss due to evaporation . The laser beam moves according to the target trajectory, which is predetermined by the choice of scanning strategy and the geometry of the object in production.\nOverall, the trajectory and scanning speed determine the evolution of the molten pool on the surface of the layer, along with a partial overlapping of adjacent tracks with subsequent partial remelting, as well as fusion the material into the substrate.\nThe depth of the fusion determines the degree of track adhesion, which in turn affects the strength and porosity properties of the material. The geometric properties of the track are determined by the energy supply  per unit of powder materials:\nWhere E is the power density [J/mm3];\nP is laser power, W;\nV is laser speed, mm/s;\nh is layer thickness, mm;\nd is the diameter of laser spot, mm.\nThe level of energy density ranges from the lower bound of the powder material melting completely and upper bound, when the melt starts to flow over the surface of substrate. Keeping that range in mind, the values of the parameters mentioned above are selected by trial and error until the track forms a stable shape, that is to say, it does not flow over the surface of substrate and goes at a fixed height.\nThe producing of a molten pool that is followed by its rapid cooling causes internal stresses to build up in the material. Internal stresses can occur through a variety of mechanisms that include uneven heating and cooling of the layer of exposed material, shrinkage and structural deformation of the material, and overall are to a different extent characteristic of all the available metal powders.\nGenerally, internal stresses are the main reason why deformations occur and the parts get ripped from the build platform.\nIII. Design and Process Preparation of a Part to be Manufactured by Means of SLM\nWhen manufacturing turbomachine wheels it is important to ensure that the geometry of the produced item is fully equivalent to the original model, which can only be achieved if there are no residual internal stresses. It is possible to relieve residual stresses by heating the part in inert atmosphere before removing it from the build platform.\nThus, the design and process task of preparing the model for manufacturing by SLM consists in rational combining of the following factors:\n• The design of the product should support uniform distribution of areas with fused surfaces along the height of the model;\n• Part orientation should be chosen in such a way as to require minimum support structures;\n• The arrangement of supporting structures should draw heat away from the melt zone to the substrate (build platform);\n• The model should have escape holes that allow removing powder from the internal cavities of the product during post-production;\n• The model should have structural elements that ensure that thin-walled elements remain rigid during manufacturing.\nFurther, we comment on the adaptation of the axial turbine runner of a small turbojet engine for manufacturing by SLM.\nThe axial turbine of a small turbojet engine that we analyze (Figure 1) is a blisk consisting of a massive disk and thin-walled blades attached to its outer surface. Such design of a turbine disk is typical for most variations of small turboshaft engines, due to the fact that this component is compact and for economic reasons it is impractical to produce a turbine disk with removable blades. It is traditionally designed to be manufactured by casting [7, 14, 15], however, when the objective is to produce a construction of long and thin sharp-edged blades, the application of this technology is limited, since it is impossible to adequately fill thin channels with molten metal.\nFigure 1. Axial turbine model.\nComputational modeling of AM process  shows that when the object is being printed the temperature gradient changes in radial direction; the temperature in the center of the disk is at its maximum and cools down as it approaches its periphery.\nSuch temperature distribution is typical to all disk-shaped bodies manufactured through SLM, but in this case the temperature difference between the center and the periphery is more pronounced owing to the thin-walled elements of the part with extended surface (blades) that operate as heat transfer surfaces. Manufacturing a product like this without adapting it to the specifics of AM would result in accumulating periphery stresses and inevitably leads to deformations and ripping from the support structures on the periphery of the disk (Figure 2). In this example we have a turbine disk made of a heat-resistant nickel alloy, and it is shown in Figure 2, the blades of turbine are deformed, making it impossible to use.\nFigure 2. Turbine wheel building defects.\nOne way to solve the problem of high levels of residual stress is to design a turbine wheel with reduced span of fused areas. In this case, we optimize the traditional wheel design (Figure 3) by adding a hollow section to it (Figure 4), which results in reduction of the cross-sectional area of the disk (Figure 7). This design solution allows reducing the temperature difference between the center of the wheel and its periphery through reducing specific energy supply.\nFigure 3. Traditional wheel design.\nFigure 4. Wheel with a hollow section.\nHowever, this design solution requires introducing additional structural elements to the blisk design, namely, adding internal stiffeners. Stiffeners are directed in radial direction from the bushing to the periphery of the wheel to reinforce the structure, and also serve as elements that conduct heat from the upper edge of the wheel to the construction platform.\nFigure 5. The distribution of the cross-sectional area of the turbine wheels by height.\nIV. Arrangements for Withdrawing Heat from the Build Platform\nThe standard support structures are comprised of thin-walled cubic elements with a square side of 1–1.5 mm ,. During the process of printing an object, these elements are filled with powder material and their overall thermal conductivity is substantially lower than the thermal conductivity of solid supports. Such supports often do not adequately transfer heat from the melt zone to the substrate (build platform).\nFigure 6. Standard support structures, ‘block’ type.\nExcessive heat in the build platform leads to local overheating, deformation and warpage of the part.\nAdequate heat transfer that does not increase the temperature gradient can be achieved by integrating solid supporting structures into the design of the product. Thus, in manufacturing a turbine blisk it is reasonable to combine such supporting structures as seen on Figure 7 with standard supporting structures, such as ‘block’.\nFigure 7. Solid support structures.\nFigure 8. Using holes in solid supports.\nThe solid supports that we are talking about are made in the form of thin concentric rings 0.15 to 0.3 mm thin. Increasing ring thickness over that limit is undesirable, as it also increases the complexity of post processing the part. Such placement of rings makes it possible to remove them through benchwork.\nThe number of such solid supports is not regulated; however, their placement in areas adjacent to the more massive elements should result in a higher quality result.\nIn order to reduce the consumption of powder and prevent it from sintering during heat treatment, we made tear-drop holes (angle max 60°) on the lateral surface of the rings. Use of this form (Figure 9) does not need support structures [] in this cross-section and leaves escape holes for metal powders.\nFigure 9. Tear-drop hole.\nV. Construction Elements that Help to Remove Powder Materials\nIt is unacceptable to leave unmelted powder in the cavities of the turbine blisk, as products of this class operate as part of a rotor that rotates at high angular speed. Therefore such products are to be balanced, which is impossible if there is any moving mass in the internal cavities of the product. To be able to completely remove the residue of loose powder, it is necessary to consider a number of construction elements that would not affect the strength and operating characteristics of the product.\nFigure 10. Holes in the bushing and the top part of the wheel.\nThe position of the holes in the center and on the periphery of the wheel makes it possible to remove the metal powders completely; if necessary such holes can be plugged to exclude any effect on the aerodynamic properties of the wheel.\nVI. The Rigidity of Thin-Walled Elements\nThe contacting parts of turbomachine wheels must meet criteria of preciseness of manufacture, roughness of the surface and tolerance of shape deviations [,].\nIt often happens that in the process of manufacturing the turbomachine wheels by SLM, developers take into account possible deformations of the main body of the product, but neglect the deformations of thin-walled elements (blades), which can lead to their deformation. In the mentioned example (Figure 2), the accumulation of internal stresses ripped support structures from the build platform, which subsequently deformed the blades. When the work of turbine wheel is affected by centrifugal and thermal load , residual internal stress can lead to off-nominal deformations and, ultimately, to an emergency. An increase in the number of support structures is a reasonable step when facing such risks.\nHowever, extra support structures become impractical at the stage of post processing, as they ask for more labor input and ultimately require that the blade surfaces are finished by a CNC machine.\nThis problem can be solved by adding a thin-walled cylindrical shell on the periphery of the produced turbine wheel (Figure 11).\nFigure 11. Turbine wheel with a thin-walled shell.\nThe shell is 0.25 mm thick, with a gap of 0.15 mm between its inner wall and the blades. The shell connects to the blades with a series of contact elements\nFigure 12. The connection of a blade with the shell.\nThe shell serves as a construction element and is to be removed after heat treatment.\nThis solution serves to intensify the process of heat transfer from the melt zone and eliminates the possibility of deformation of the blades.\nIn this work we successfully confirmed the effectiveness of our design solutions by adapting a turbine wheel for SLM manufacturing and producing it. The blisk is made of heat resistant nickel alloy ПР-O8ХН5ЗБМТЮ, equivalent to Inconel 718. The alloy is widely used in aerospace, nuclear and other industries due to its stable mechanic properties at high temperatures [17–20].\nKey process parameters:\n• SLM setup: Concept Laser M2 Cusing;\n• Max laser power, W: 400;\n• Layer height, µm: 25;\n• Build plate temperature, °C: 200;\n• Scanning strategy: skin-core \nThe key process parameters of the machine correspond to those used to manufacture the part from Figure 2.\nSupport structures of ‘block’ type, 1.5 × 1.5 mm, allow reducing labor input to remove them and cut down the number of post processing operations.\nFigure 13. Turbine wheel on the build plate.\nFigure 14. The produced turbine wheel.\nThis resulted in creation of a turbine wheel with the given properties (Figure 14). After we removed the remaining metal powder and heat treated the wheel, its geometrical properties did not change, no warpage or deformation appeared. The product was ready to be tested as a part of the turbojet.\nDesign for manufacturing and assembly cycle included following operations:\n• Aerodynamic calculation of the turbine performance and receiving the geometric properties of the wheelspace;\n• Structural analysis;\n• Adapting the model to AM;\n• Creating program instructions for AM machine;\n• Printing the turbine wheel;\n• Heat treatment;\n• Removing the print from the plate and removing supports;\n• Post-processing the wheel.\nThe suggested ways of design and process adaptation of turbine wheels of small turbojet engines can be applied to designing a wide range of products with different application and adapting them to AM. The design and process solutions were verified by producing a number of parts with zero defects.\nIn the course of this research we did the following:\n1) Analyzed the basic principles of SLM and identified the main factors that affect the quality of the product;\n2) Determined the primary ways in which to prepare a turbine wheel for AM;\n3) Analyzed the causes of defects that occur when manufacturing similar turbine wheels;\n4) Based on calculated data and data found by experiment, developed a process that reduces the span of fused surfaces, found a way to intensify heat transfer from the melt zone, described the major technological means to remove powder residue from the internal cavities of the wheel. Additionally, we solved the problem of reinforcing the thin-walled elements of the turbine wheel.\nThe suggested ways of designing and adapting turbine wheels of small turbojet engines were experimentally verified, and the produced parts are currently tested as a part of small turboshaft engine units.\n Shvab, K.

The numerous innovations that accompany the presentation of the model are due to the engineer Antonio Fessia, technical director of the brand since 1955; the Flavia allows him to implement his design of the automobile. An Italian apostle of the front-wheel drive since its 1947 Cemsa-Caproni prototype, the Flavia is not only a front-wheel drive, but its cantilevered engine is unprecedented: It’s a four-cylinder flat all light alloy and liquid-cooled. The braking, with four assisted discs with double circuit, is also very efficient. In the spring of 1962, the Pininfarina 2+2 coupé was added to the sedan in a very square style. The typical front of the sedan, with its pro\nminent grille and double headlights is taken back with some alterations, while the treatment of the rear part reminds strongly of that of the Ferrari 250 GTE (of the same bodybuilder), with the exception of optical blocks that are horizontal on the Lancia. The Flavia coupé thus wins its name of «Ferrari of the poor», nickname more rewarding than really pejorative.\nThe coupe is first launched with a 1500 cm3 engine powered by two Solex carburetors (90 hp). This Solex installation proved difficult to fix and was quickly abandoned in 1963. As of this year, the engine has increased its displacement to 1800 cm3. The maximum power (92 hp), torque and flexibility are thus improved. The change of engine is accompanied by the introduction of a new dashboard with round dials on a wooden background, in place of the ribbon tachometer of the previous model. An indirect Kugelfischer injection will also be proposed from 1965 (102 hp), it will allow a significant drop in petrol consumption. The Pininfarina Coupe will be produced until 1969 before being replaced by the Flavia 2000 with a rejuvenated bodyshell. A convertible has also been marketed with a Vignale bodyshell designed by Michelotti as well as a Sport Zagato coupe with the least confusing lines. Let us also note that the modern technical design of the Lancia will also shine in competition, so the Flavia coupe will won the Rallye des Fleurs (ancestor of the Rally de San Remo) in 1963, the Alpine criterium and the Rallye de Lorraine in 1964. Second place at the Monte Carlo Rally 1966 is also a remarkable feat.\nThe history of our Lancia Flavia Coupé\nOur Lancia Flavia Coupé came out of the Lancia factories in 1966 and is equipped with the 1.8 liters carburettor. It spent the first part of its life in its home country before arriving in France in the 1980s. Its original color was brown but its previous owner decided to paint it in a «Rosso Ferrari» which better highlights the lines of the bodyshell and blends beautifully with the rare yellow optics.\nCylinder (cm3) : 1 800\nAlimentation : Carburetor\nPower (ch) : 92\nMax speed (km/h) : 173\nNumber of seats : 5\nHow to visit Paris in a Lancia Flavia?\nYou have to contact us by phone at + 33 6 58 19 25 58 or below.\nFrom 129 euros for 1 hour tour!", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This ability simplifies planning, and hand- coded heuristics such as targeting planar surfaces are often used to select suction grasps based on point cloud data. In this paper, we propose a compliant suction contact model that computes the quality of the seal between the suction cup and target object and determines whether or not the suction grasp can resist an external wrench (e.g. gravity) on the object. To evaluate a grasp, we measure robustness to perturbations in end-effector and object pose, material properties, and external wrenches. We use this model to generate Dex-Net 3.0, a dataset of 2.8 million point clouds, suction grasps, and grasp robustness labels computed with 1,500 3D object models and we train a Grasp Quality Convolutional Neural Network (GQ-CNN) on this dataset to classify suction grasp robustness from point clouds. We evaluate the resulting system in 375 physical trials on an ABB YuMi fitted with a pneumatic suction gripper. When the object shape, pose, and mass properties are known, the model achieves 99% precision on a dataset of objects with Adversarial geometry such as sharply curved surfaces. Furthermore, a GQ-CNN-based policy trained on Dex-Net 3.0 achieves 99% and 97% precision respectively on a dataset of Basic and Typical objects.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Backed by its extensive industry experience and an international network, ACTIA supports its customers across all phases of a vehicle’s lifecycle, from the design stage all the way to the end of its service life.\nThinking ahead of tomorrow’s increasingly restrictive standards, particularly where safety and emission control are concerned, ACTIA makes electronics a powerful asset to reduce the cost of designing and operating vehicles and to increase their service rate.\nFor the past 25 years, the group has demonstrated its expertise in automotive, industrial and commercial vehicles industry and has established itself as a major force in the multiplexed architecture field. Far more than a product supplier, ACTIA works as a partner with its customers to develop high added-value systems.\nSupporting the Arrival of the Emission Control Standards\nIn every sector, the upcoming emission control standards will deeply impact vehicle design and significantly increase the role played by electronics. The TIER 4 standard defines the maximum emission threshold for off-highway vehicles. Manufacturers must consider this constraint into vehicle design.\nInterface solution for TIER 4 engines\nThrough its multiple CAN interfaces, the SPU product range provides a gateway between the CAN J1939 engine management network and user interface systems (clusters, display, etc…). This solution provides the means to define optimized electric architecture for TIER4 / Stage IIIB and also provides interface solutions between TIER4 engines and existing electric architectures.\nACTIA, the Bus-CAN J1939 solution specialist\nFor more than 25 years, ACTIA has developed specific know-how in multiplexed electronic architecture, an area in which our group is a true pioneer. Controlling these architectures to guarantee trouble-free vehicle operation requires a communications gateway to the vehicle’s CAN networks. ACTIA delivers a range of on-board or off-board CAN communication interfaces supporting different protocols plus software to retrieve vehicle data. This expertise is the core of the emission control system. In the passenger cars industry, ACTIA was the first equipment manufacturer to deliver vehicle communication interfaces that meet the SAE J2534 (Pass-Thru) standard for downloading data from emission control ECUs.\nBoosting Vehicle Service Rates\nVehicle maintenance is necessary to guarantee optimum service rates. The increasing complexity of automotive electric and electronic systems now means that powerful tools must be used to perform vehicle diagnostics.\nIn 1985, ACTIA invented the first diagnostics tool and the group has since become the diagnostics partner to the big names in automotive, industrial and commercial vehicle industry. Backed by its extensive experience, ACTIA has developed solutions dedicated to serving the off-highway market.\nACTI-DIAG: the global end-of-line and roadside diagnostics solution\nThis solution package includes hardware, software and services. Diagnostics constraints are factored into machine design so that optimized maintenance solutions can be implemented from the production phase to vehicle maintenance roadside repair operations.\nACTI-DIAG is an innovative, scalable solution supporting standard industry protocols. Our diagnostics solutions can be delivered ready-to-go or developed by our customers using our authoring tool.\nACTI-DIAG lets you display information stored in ECU memory about preventive and corrective maintenance on your vehicle.\nEnd-of-line solution for manufacturing factories:\nACTI-DIAG lets you manage machine variant and customized features and automates the testing, parameter setting, calibration and end-of-line inspection processes.\nAfter-sales diagnostics solution:\nOur ruggedized PCs range responds to off-highway environment constraints and are equipped with the right communications interfaces, software suites and databases.\nWith ACTI-DIAG, after-sales technicians carry out ECU reprogramming and updating tasks in addition to troubleshooting and corrective action easily and independently.\nConnected Vehicles, All the Time\nManaging a fleet involves a lot of work for technicians including maintenance tasks, updating software at vehicle location…\nTo decrease maintenance activities on the machine in the field, ACTIA has developed a multi-function telematics platform to connect vehicles to a control center across existing communication networks.\nThis on-board TGU platform, compatible with the requirements of the off-highway market environment, supports vehicle connectivity and fleet management. The TGU features a GPS receiver and mobile communications (GPRS, UMTS) and can be connected to the vehicle CAN or Ethernet network to communicate with on-board ECUs and transmit information remotely.\nACTIA provides a back-office service package called ACTIA Fleet that processes all vehicle data remotely in real-time. The applications for this services are numerous:\n- Vehicle tracking,\n- Remote technical data exchange during preventive and corrective maintenance for remote vehicle diagnostics, in addition to the traditional diagnostics solution,\n- Remote downloading for updating software via a secure VPN channel,\n- Monitoring driver and fuel consumption data providing economy opportunities using an ECO-Drive feature,\n- Downloading safety data stored in ECU memory in the event of an incident, etc…\nThese applications are accessible by users via a secure logon procedure across a standard internet connection anywhere in the world.\nControlling the supply chain and obsolescence\nProducts and systems delivered by the ACTIA group are designed in the group’s own engineering offices. They are manufactured, assembled and integrated in our production sites sized to short, medium and high volumes in full compliance with the quality standards prevailing in the automobile and aeronautics sectors. In this way, we stay in full control over the industrial and supply chain for all our products.\nOver the past years, we have seen the product lifecycle becoming significantly shorter. Controlling the supply chain therefore means carefully monitoring obsolescence in products and electronic components so as to be able to guarantee the availability of components throughout the life of the vehicle.\nMaintenance in Operational Conditions\nIn 2001, ACTIA created a department dedicated to dynamic obsolescence management to guarantee the maintenance in operational conditions and life duration extension for ACTIA group electronic systems, control / command systems, telecom systems – boards and components, and also for In-service Support to our customers in nuclear industry, power plant, aeronautics and military applications.\nThis know-how harnesses five skills centers providing support in obsolescence prevention or end-of-life product management.\n- Expertise / Consulting\n- Database and obsolescence management tools\n- Component purchasing / long-term storage\n- Component management\n- Engineering / Production / Maintenance for replacement solutions", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Yet it is the cleanliness of the plant, which emits 30% less pollution than Prepa's oil-fired plants, that is perhaps most striking to first-time visitors.\n\"We are the environmentally cleanest powerplant and have the best heat rate of any facility on the island,\" said Carlos Reyes, EcoEléctrica general manager of operations.\n\"The reliability of this powerplant is well above the island average and is one of the best in the industry,\" he added.\nThe plant began operations in March 2000 and has a 22-year contract to deliver energy to its sole customer, Prepa. EcoEléctrica is a stand-alone company owned by Gas Natural Fenosa of Spain, with a nearly 50% stake; International Power (GDF Suez Group) of Belgium, a 35% stake; and Japan's Mitusi, a 15% stake.\nIts main line of business is the energy produced for Prepa through its 540-megawatt combined-cycle powerplant, but it also operates a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facility, one of only 10 operating in the U.S., as well as a desalination plant producing two million gallons daily of potable water from the ocean.\nThere is still a dozen years left on its Prepa contract, which covers its entire power-generation capacity, but officials say the company will likely look to extend it and pursue other power-generation opportunities that arise.\n\"We are confident that if the right business opportunity surfaces, our partners will go after it,\" said Jaime Sanabria, EcoEléctrica general manager of finance & administration.\n\"EcoEléctrica, during its 12 years of operation, has been very reliable and very consistent, not only for the Prepa part of the equation but for the investors and the lenders, and that credibility we built up is important. So if EcoEléctrica decides to build another facility, it will be an attractive project because of the demonstrated performance of our operation and delivery,\" he added.\nEFFICIENCY BEYOND NATURAL GAS\nMuch of EcoEléctrica's success stems from its use of natural gas for power generation, which has always been cheaper and cleaner than oil, but has become even more attractive since the plant commenced operations in 2000. A rise in new drilling techniques has helped untap enormous new natural gas reserves in the U.S., driving down and stabilizing prices even further.\nBeyond natural gas, however, EcoEléctrica can serve as a model for future powerplants in numerous other ways.\nIn its contract with Prepa, EcoEléctrica has pledged to be reliable and efficient, guaranteeing 93% availability and a 45% thermal-efficiency rating. The plant is connected to Prepa more than 90% of the time, and it produces power at an average 80% of its capacity.\nPrepa basically orders the amount of power it needs from the plant on a daily basis, and it is automatically produced without the need for operator intervention, according to Sanabria.\n\"We have to maintain really good standards on operations and maintenance through our contract. We have to be reliable and efficient, and if we don't comply, we are penalized through our payments,\" Reyes said.\nThe plant's combined-cycle technology also adds to its cost and environmental efficiency as it allows it to use one-third less fuel to produce power, which also works to hold down costs and emissions. The plant also provides additional antipollution controls and processes that further decrease emissions.\nThe plant's workforce totals 78, with 70 employees in operations and maintenance and 36 technicians who are members of the United Steelworkers union.\nThis is another key performance indicator for a powerplant, in which EcoEléctrica shines; a Prepa powerplant of similar size would have more than 200 employees, more than double what it takes the private plant to run.\nThe heavily regulated facility, which is overseen by nearly a dozen federal and local agencies, has also built up a sound safety record during its 12 years in service, with the LNG terminal having a perfect safety record and the powerplant without lost-time accidents over the past eight years.\nThe facility has an emergency response memorandum of understanding with local agencies, including the Fire and Police departments and other first responders.\nThe plant can burn natural gas, propane or diesel without affecting service to Prepa, but this additional capability is really for use in emergencies. Since commercial operations began, the plant has used natural gas 99% of the time, largely switching to alternate fuels only for annual tests.\nEcoEléctrica doesn't just pollute less than Prepa powerplants, its environmental commitment also embraces protection of endangered species and fragile marine habitat as well as the south-coast's precious water resources.\nThe seawater desalination facility was part of the original design so the plant wouldn't deplete the fresh drinking water from the south-coast aquifer. Half the water it produces is used for internal consumption, and the other half is sent to the Costa Sur plant and neighboring communities for their use.\n\"Water is scarce in the south, so we had that in our original design so we don't impact the environment. The steam to evaporate the water is the costly part of the desalination process, but we have the steam for free from the exhaust of the gas turbines,\" Reyes explained.\nEcoEléctrica also operates under a no-discharge permit, meaning it can't release any water from its facilities, and a retaining pond was constructed to capture storm-water runoff so it doesn't drain into the ocean, affecting coral and other marine habitat.\nThe LNG terminal's design, which extends from the coast along a narrow bridge, is also aimed at reducing the impact on coral reef and sea grass near the coast.\n\"From the onset of EcoEléctrica, we have worked very hard to assure the environment is not impacted in a negative way,\" Sanabria said.\nThe manatee, which lives off the coast where the plant is located, has been adopted by the plant as its symbol, but there are also sea turtles and other marine life that the plant has been careful about disturbing.\nWhile permitting required five years of marine life studies, EcoEléctrica has continued funding them and providing \"valuable information on coral and marine life\" to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Students from the University of Puerto Rico's Mayagüez campus participate in the studies, which are overseen by EcoEléctrica Environmental Compliance Officer Damaris Negrón.\nMany of these studies chart the return of marine life to the facilities and surrounding waters since the commencement of operations, and when LNG deliveries are made, harbor pilots monitor for manatees and other endangered species.\nThe company also funded a U.S. Geological Service study tracking the migration of manatees, as well as the largest pool at the Manatee Hospital & Research Center in Bayamón, developed by Prof. Antonio Mignucci of the Caribbean Stranding Network.\nA BOON TO THE COMMUNITY\nSanabria said EcoEléctrica's commitment to the communities of Peñuelas and Guayanilla, where it is located, is also strong. Ninety percent of its workforce hails from the southwest region, officials say.\nWhile the company could have sought an exemption from the municipal tax, it decided to pay the tax for the good of the communities and entered a deal with Peñuelas Mayor Walter Torres, of the Popular Democratic Party, to share the revenue with neighboring Guayanilla.\n\"Just in taxes, we pay around $4 million, about 33% of their annual budget, to Peñuelas and a couple hundred thousand to Guayanilla. That is not counting the other support or job creation,\" Sanabria said.\nEcoEléctrica also runs a scholarship program, granting $1,000 scholarships for the top-20 high-school graduates in each town to cover costs related to their first year of university studies, and also adopted an elementary school in the mountains of Peñuelas, paying for uniforms, books and other necessities each year.\nThe company also donated $80,000 to the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust to buy private land where an extensive cave system is located, with a long-range plan to develop the natural asset into a tourism attraction.\nEcoEléctrica's community-outreach and environmental-stewardship programs haven't gone unnoticed. It has won awards from the EPA and the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association and, in 2006, the prestigious energy publication Platts honored it with its community program of the year honor.\nA BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR PUERTO RICO\nWhen the plant was first built, workers built a natural gas pipeline to the edge of the property to facilitate the use of natural gas in Prepa's neighboring Costa Sur plant.\n\"It was a business opportunity for Prepa,\" Sanabria said.\nIt's an opportunity Prepa has finally taken after a dozen-year wait. Until this spring, the LNG terminal was only used to supply EcoEléctrica's needs, but with the conversion of Costa Sur to natural gas, it will now supply Prepa as well.\nThat means annual shipments of LNG are doubling to 24 from 12, and natural gas-power generation is also doubling to 30% of total energy production from 15%.\nRight now, the EcoEléctrica facility has the capacity to feed both powerplants, and enough spare natural gas to supply perhaps one more, but the plant was originally designed to have two huge natural gas-storage tanks, but only one has been built. Constructing the second tank would double its capacity.\nEven though the Puerto Rico government has scuttled plans to pipe natural gas from the facility to north-coast powerplants through the Vía Verde project, a second tank could still be built and used for other purposes, company officials say.\nSanabria and Reyes said it would be a smart move for Puerto Rico to maximize the use of the LNG terminal, given the high cost of energy here and the promise U.S. natural gas holds for the island.\nWhile natural gas could be barged out of the facility to Prepa, natural gas could also be used on the island for other purposes, such as transportation or to provide cheap, clean energy to industry.\n\"The use of the LNG terminal could be maximized for the benefit of Puerto Rico. You have the storage facility, the capacity to supply powerplants and many downstream businesses, and you have a proven workforce with more than 12 years' experience,\" Sanabria said. \"With power costs escalating, it is an element that should be maximized.\"", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It can tilt inwards by pivoting on the bottom hinges or fully swing-in like a door via the side hinges. Tilt & Turn Windows’ tilt position provides healthy weatherproof ventilation while the turn position provides easy cleaning access.\nOn the outside of the window, there is a single large handle and no other protruding parts like lock levers. The window opens, closes, and locks all with the use of this one and only handle. Furthermore, the tilt turn window has multiple opening options for ventilation, cleaning, and fire escape purposes. Most notably, the tilting feature is quite unique as it allows for a different type of air exchange pattern. Since the window opens at just the very top in this mode, fresh air can enter inside the building at a more upwards angle. With this kind of air flow, cold breezes from an open window don’t blow directly at someone inside the house. Instead, fresh air blows up towards to ceiling from which it bounces off and enters the room at a more controlled pace. However, unlike hopper windows which also tilt inwards, the angle on a tilt and turn window in the tilt position is smaller and thus more ideal for ventilation. Nevertheless, if rapid venting is needed, a tilt & turn window can fully open like an entry door. This feature is also great for cleaning and fire escape.\nA tilt turn window is a big jump from the standard casement window. One such aspect lies in its hardware and opening mechanism. Tilt & Turn windows operate using a rotating hinge system and utilize a single handle for all opening and closing functions. Nevertheless, is important to make sure the quality, design options, and glazing is to your liking.\nPremium Tilt and Turn Windows For The US And Canada\nEvery aspect is custom made and can be fine turned to perfection. The glazing and hardware on our tilt and turn windows is all precisely optimized to every individual project. While the frames are reinforced with steel core tubing for maximum strength. Along with the high performance, our tilt turn window opening system for the sashes is also very comfortable and quick to use.\nAs for the style, we offer custom shapes, sizes, and over 60 colors for the vinyl foil covered frames. These frames never fade like painted or aluminum gel coated frames and remain looking new for many years. The modern design of the tilt turn windows makes them optimal for modern projects. However, they will suit almost any type of build and style.\nTo submit your tilt and turn windows online quote and get cost information, you can simply click on “request a quote” on the top right. Information will then be provides in 1 – 2 business days via online.\nWhat Makes Us Unique\n- Steel core UPVC (Vinyl) framing with wide 6-chamber profiles.\nWe use extra-wide steel tubing inside of our vinyl frames to greatly strengthen the windows. It also allows for the windows to be made in very large sizes. Meanwhile, the 6-chamber design ensures an elevated level of thermal insulation.\n- Thick glazing of 1-3/4” to 2” with a deep glass unit insertion into the frame of 26 mm instead of the regular 18 mm.\nWe use thick glazing to improve the energy efficiency and increase the windows’ lifespan. In addition to this, the deep glass unit insertion design improves the window’s resistance to condensation.\n- Special vinyl profiles for hot climates.\nThese are made with a unique technology that allows the profiles to withstand higher temperatures. It is a critical option for those living in the southern US.\n- Customizable and individually optimized soundproofing options with special perks.\nWe offer many degrees of glass unit soundproofing and optimize it for every project depending on what kinds of sounds need to be silenced. All for a more comfortable living experience.\n- Customizable sun protection options with optional passive house technology integration.\nSun protection glazing is needed to keep the house from overheating in hot temperatures. Depending on your specific climate region we offer many options to customize the sun protection level.\n- Highly insulated glazing with high heat transmission for solar passive houses.\nThis is a special option ideal for solar passive houses that demand the latest technology.\n- European standard burglary proofing protection.\nOur windows come with the option for burglary protection that prevents thieves from easily entering broken windows. It uses a similar technology to that used on car windshields.\nEuropean Windows Open Two Ways\nWindows that open two ways are tilt and turn windows. They have one handle, which when turned 90 degrees allows the sash to fully swing inwards. However, if the handle is turned 180 degrees, the sash can tilt inwards, pivoting at the bottom. As such, tilt and turn windows open both ways.\nUnlike most standard window types in America, the European window type opens two ways. These windows are called tilt and turn. For ventilation purposes, it is very convenient to have the tilt mode. This mode can be activated by turning the handle 180 degrees upwards. The window will then tilt inwards and create a gap at the top for healthy air exchange. However, since the windows open two ways, there is more then just a ventilation feature. If the handle is turned 90 degrees, you can pull the whole sash inwards. Such mode is great for cleaning purposes and can be used for quickly venting out smoke and foul smells.\nSince the windows open both ways, you have more possibilities and freedom with the window. In addition to this, either of the two ways to open a window can be achieved very quickly with minimal effort.\nWith the handle turned 90 degrees so that the tip of the handle faces up, the sash is able to swing inwards. Tilt and turn windows opening inwards is the great advantage. This it great for high performance rapid air exchange in tilted position. It also provides the advantage of access to both sides of the sash. This is great for easy cleaning and other tilt and turn windows window keep-up work. It is also great for vent out smoke or bad smells.\nWith the handle turned another 90 degrees (so that the tip of the handle is facing up), you can tilt inwards. This is a great feature as it allows you to passively ventilate your home without any stress of closing a wide open in time. Opening the window on routine is greatly beneficial as it improves the indoor air quality. This is important as a high level of indoor air quality can notably improve your comfort.\nFinally, with the handle turned 135 degrees from the lock position, you can tilt the sash inwards about ¼”. This is the micro-ventilation mode. It is very useful for slow and consistent air exchange throughout the day and or night. This is great because with it you can slowly but effectively change air in the house. When it is open like this, you can forget about it and leave it open until late evening or even the next day.\nOur Tilt Turn Window Advantages\n- A stylish and ultra-modern design.\nTo improve the appearance of any building and add real value to the project.\n- Budget-friendly pricing while maintaining a high level of quality.\n- Over 60 color options and over 200 glazing combinations available\n- 3 opening modes\nTo provide next level flexibility, superior indoor air quality, and easy access for cleaning.\n- Highly thermally efficient performance with R values up to 11\n- One handle, one hand motion, and the window opens in less than 2 seconds.\n- Multi-point locking system technology\nTo provide secure and automatic locking all around the frame.\n- Highly durable construction for long term satisfaction\n- Individually customized to order\nOur tilt and turn windows are made to order with every factor being customizable to what ever extent desired.\n- 3 gaskets are used instead of the regular 2\nTo provide maximum air tightness and insulation\n- Reliable rotating hinge hardware\nTilt and Turn Windows Price\nThe tilt and turn windows price is from $250 – $3000 per window. For the whole house package, the tilt and turn windows price would be from $6000 – $150,000. However, this price widely varies depending on the window size and other factors like glazing properties and frame color.\nThere are many aspects that effect the price of tilt and turn windows. The main ones are the window size, its frame color and material, and the selected glazing options. In general, given a standard completion of white frames and triple pane glazing, the tilt and turn window price would be roughly from $400 – $1200 per window. If the window is large, the price may go up to $3000 per window. If the window has colored frames like black ones, as well as specialized glazing, the price would be 12 – 20% higher than regular. In any case, for more precise pricing information on your exact window needs, it is always best to see a quote or get an estimate. Since there are many individual factors that effect the cost on a more detailed level, rough price ranges and percentages might not always be enough information to make decisions based on price alone.\nWhat Is The Steel Core In Tilt Turn Windows?\nSteel core is a steel tube that goes inside the frame of a tilt and turn window. This frame reinforcement is crucial for tilt and turn uPVC (vinyl) windows. The steel core acts as the structural support or reinforcement for the frame. A frame with steel core is called a hybrid or composite.\nAluminum profiles are made from a special aluminum that allows for a cold forged. This kind of aluminum is not thermally treated and has relative low strength when compared to thermal treated aluminum alloys. These steel tubes are 3 times more rigid than aluminum. Aluminum ones can also get quite hot and as such, aluminum is not our choice.\nWide steel core in vinyl frames is needed for maximum endurance and high-end structural strength.\nUnlike for ordinary vinyl windows, we permanently bond the steel tubing to the UPVC from the inside before the assembly. This helps the products be very durable and long lasting.\nTo achieve optimal results, we use:\n6-chamber trusted German UPVC profiles with heavy duty 1-3/4 Galvanized steel tubing. This makes our window frames roughly 3.5 times less flexible and 2 times stronger than regular steel core framing. We also permanently weld the UPVC corners together. As well as use a unique triple pane layer weather tight seal (gaskets) system. All to ensure maximum endurance and performance. If your tilt and turn windows are broken, it is time to get new ones with thick steel core tubing and your windows will not break ever again and you will achieve a lot more durable, long lasting results.\nWindows That Open Inward\nThere are only 4 types of windows that open inwards. They are the tilt, turn, hopper, and tilt and turn. The most popular and quality option are the double action tilt and turn windows while the hopper ones are a good budget choice for basements. Tilt and turn windows also have some more advantages.\nWindows that open inwards have several advantages. Firstly, they are much quicker to open than their outward opening counterparts. Such fact is especially prevalent in tilt and turn windows. Another plus is the fact that they can still open even if there is something outside, behind the window. Normally, in the latter situation, if it were an outward opening window, it would be blocked off. Yet, that’s not so with windows that open inwards. Also, these types of windows are easier to clean if they are not placed above the head level. Since it is more comfortable to clean windows when indoors, the fact that the sash can open inwards, providing access to the outside part of the window, is quite an advantage. In addition to this, windows with a rotating hinge technology are much more resistant to dust which normally can clog the hardware. Since, the hardware is not exposed to the elements in the European design, the window can still function smoothly years after its purchase. The latter two features are also why inward opening windows are easier to maintain in like-new condition.\nAlthough turn, hopper, and tilt windows are nice, the clear winner are tilt and turn windows because of their double action functionality. They provide both an option for a wide opening and one with a small one at the top for healthy weatherproof ventilation.\nAre Tilt and Turn Windows Better Than Casement?\nTilt and turn windows are better than casement in terms of ease of operation, seal tightness, hardware reliability, safety, and modern aesthetics. Most of these advantages exist because of the double action opening system present in tilt and turn windows that does not exist in casement windows.\nMost of the differences between tilt and turn windows and casement ones are the same factors that make tilt and turn windows better. The main difference between these two types is the hinge mechanism for the opening function. Crank style casement windows have a sliding hinge mechanism. On the other hand, the European style only has rotating hinges in its mechanism. Although these two types are fundamentally different, the sliding hinge mechanism wears out much quicker and requires more maintenance to keep the window operation smooth. Meanwhile, the rotating hinge mechanism is inherently much smoother and is more reliable in the long term. After a test of over 40, 000 openings, tilt and turn window hinges tested with a 100% grade. Meanwhile, casement windows would be loose by the 10, 000th opening. However, even if the tilt and turn hardware breaks, it can be replaced in 5 – 10 minutes with minimal tools.\nThe hinge placement is also an important parameter. In casement windows, the mechanism is located underneath the sash and is exposed to the elements when the window is open. This leaves it more vulnerable to wear and tear resulting in a more difficult time using the window. In tilt and turn windows, is the hinge mechanism is hidden in the middle of the sash profile and inside the window frame. This design keeps the hardware better hidden from the elements allowing for it to remain in better shape over time.\nThe locking and sealing mechanisms are different between the two types too. The system used in casement windows has 1 – 2 manually operated locking points. These points sit in one or two sides of the frame and keep the window shut. On the other hand, the tilt and turn window has the locking feature implemented in the main closing action of the window. When the window is closed and the handle is returned to the resting position facing down, the multi-point locking system automatically engages. This system instantly locks the window in 4 – 12 spots located all around the frame. Such technology not only ensures better safety, but it also keeps the window seal tighter. This way, there is no room for air leakages. At the same time, it also helps prevent condensation build up. Finally, the extra locking points allow for very large window sizes. Sizes, that can not be found with American windows.\nIn terms of appearance and design possibilities, tilt and turn windows win. Although casement windows do not look bad, the multiple handles attached to each window lowers its compatibility for the minimalistic design trends of today. Although they do not bother everyone, the fact remains that multiple handles around a single window crowd the general look. In this case, tilt and turn windows are better because they have only one handle. Though the handle is bigger, it is more stylish as it emphasizes the simplicity of the tilt and turn window opening system. Its shape also remains in uniform throughout adding geometric appeal. Nonetheless, the European style opens inwards rather than outwards. So, not much furniture can be placed against a tilt and turn window versus a casement one, since the casement style opens outwards. However, the fact that tilt and turn windows open inwards has its benefits. For instance, they are easier to clean and can provide healthier ventilation.\nWhat Is the Difference Between Tilt and Turn Windows and Casement Ones?\nThe difference between tilt and turn windows vs casement ones is that tilt and turn windows open inwards while casement windows only open outwards. Tilt and turn windows can also open 3 ways as opposed to just opening out like a door.\nAnother difference is that tilt and turn windows can have steel core tubing in their vinyl frames while casement windows do not have that feature.\nThe tilt and turn window type is revolutionary. There are 2 main differences between these tilt turn windows and regular American ones. One is that tilt turn windows have a different opening mechanism with the sashes. Another is that tilt and turn windows use steel core framing while casement windows rely on only the vinyl framing for durability.\nTilt and Turn windows are named after the way they work. The opening mechanism used in tilt and turn windows is very secure, but it is also designed in a way that allows for fast and easy operation. The opening system is also different from casement windows. The easy and functional operation of tilt & turn windows is one of the leading reasons why they are the most developed window system. One hand motion allows you to swing the sash or tilt the sash inwards.\nThe large modern handles used in these kinds of windows control which mode the windows are in. There are 4 of these modes. The tilt, turn, lock, and the micro-ventilation. The whole process of opening the window, in either configuration, takes less than 2 seconds and provides amazing benefits. Benefits such as increased comfort, better functionality, healthy ventilation, and an increase in house value. These types of windows have been in widespread use in Europe and are dominating the market there. However, now, they are being spread throughout north America. The next step in window framing is steel core reinforced UPVC framing, like in tilt and turn windows. This is a key difference and advantage tilt and turn windows have over casement ones. Steel core with vinyl frames provide advantages in durability and service life while also allowing for larger sizes. Our tilt and turn windows are 4 – 8 times stronger than casement windows and come in large sizes where the operable sash can reach up to 48 x 96”.\nCan Tilt and Turn Windows Open Outwards?\nIn the US, most windows open outwards, but tilt turn windows do not. However, there is a variety of custom options with French style tilt turn windows where they open outwards. Regular tilt turn windows open inwards because of the many advantages. Mainly being healthy ventilation and easier cleaning access.\nTilt and turn windows can not open outwards. Opening out windows are usually tilt out, regular casement, or French style as made by some manufactures. However, European tilt and turn are different. They open inwards and are made under the European building standards which require windows to open in this way. This is for a reason. The main one being that they are easier to clean and faster to operate. As well as generally provide more convenience and healthy ventilation.\nThe air exchange system on these windows is favored by many. This is because it allows for fresh air to be easily abundant inside. But, inward opening windows do require more room inside. This is to account for the opening of the windows. The tilt mode requires room inside because the whole sash swings in. Although, this mode is primarily used just for cleaning access. Thus, not often. More commonly used is the tilt mode. The tilt mode is the most useful as it does not require additional space inside and works efficiently.\nHow Far Do Tilt and Turn Windows Open?\nHouse windows that open from the top or tilt and turn windows, as they are called, open in 3 modes. In different modes, the size of the openings vary. In the tilt position, it is about 6” at the top. This mode is very useful to achieve healthy, passive ventilation. In the turn position, the window swings open from 0 to about 90% of the sash width. Very useful for rapid ventilation. In the micro- mode, the opening on the top is about 3/8 of an inch. This mode is useful for smooth and slow .\nTilt and Turn Windows as The Next Step of Windows Technology\nWhen looking to elevate your modern home, high tech windows are a great next step to take. For this purpose, tilt turn windows are the best. They are at the height of windows technology. Along with excellent comfort and user-experience, they provide optimal performance. To be suitable as high tech equipment, computer simulations are conducted for thermal optimization. Afterwards, field tests are done to ensure they pass in the required criteria under European standards. For the windows made for the US and Canada, another set of field tests is done to meet North American standards. This way, you can be sure that your windows will serve you right.\nAre Tilt and Turn Windows a Good Idea?\nIf you value function, comfort, and style, tilt and turn windows are a good idea as they offer just that. They are the ideal choice for almost any home, providing healthy ventilation, unobstructed views, great natural lighting, and a stylish interior appearance.\nNo matter what you are building, be it a family home, an office, or your dream house, windows will always be noticed. Be it by those who will live in these places or just by visitors. As such, it is comfort to have windows that look and feel amazing. It is also important for them to be able to satisfy you in the long-term. Moreover, windows are used every day in one way or another. So, it is a good idea to choose the quality option. In this case, its tilt and turn windows.\nTilt and turn windows are also a great choice for those looking for smart home compatibility. Their high tech design allows for more efficient operation with no inconveniences. Furthermore, these European windows are also available with a variety of automation functions. These include remote activated sash opening and closing mechanisms, smartphone activated blinds, and more.\nTilt and Open Windows\nTilt and open windows are European style windows with double action operation. They are opened with one handle that allows the sash to either tilt in, using the bottom hinges, or fully open inwards using the side hinges. For ventilation, they tilt; for cleaning access and fire escape, they open.\nTilt and open windows are great for their functionality and efficiency. The tilt mode of tilt and open windows is activated when the handle is turned to be facing up. Once this action is complete, the window will tilt in pivoting at the bottom and opening at the top. Such feature is a great way to achieve healthy ventilation as the gap at the top provides vertical air exchange.\nThe open part of tilt and open windows refers to the second mode of opening. For this second mode, handle needs to be turned so that it is parallel to the floor. Once done, the sash can be pulled in which opens the window as though it were door. This open mode is great for cleaning convenience, venting out smells, and fire escape.\nSometimes, tilt and open windows are referred to as tilt and turn windows as the two are interchangeable. However, there are sometimes models called tilt and open that function slightly differently than tilt and turn windows. These open the same way but use different handle positions. For example, on a tilt and turn window model, the handle at a 90˚ angle would be used to fully swing the sash inwards, whereas on a “tilt and open” window, this handle placement would be used to tilt the window instead. The same pattern applies for the handle at the vertical or 180˚ position. Nevertheless, the two types are really the same and usually don’t share any differences.\nQuality Standards for The Tilt and Turn Windows\nTilt and turn windows UPVC should be manufactured according to European requirements. Currently, some supplies and manufactures are making tilt turn windows in America for an American audience. However, these “European” designed products do not fully meet European standards. Not to mention passive house standards ordained by Passive House Institute. In most cases, low budget manufactures use Chinese no name profiles, and may use low quality glass as well. When shopping for European windows, it important to find products which would meet quality European standards ISO9001 and ISO14001 and North American standards, NFRC.\nProducts made under these standards will ensure that you are getting quality products that will last you for many decades and remain durable, stylish, energy efficient, and noise resilient. All our products are made under European and NFRC building standards. We provide products that have a functional, high soundproofing and energy efficient system, with aesthetically appealing design for any style of home. Our products will last you many years to come. They are budget-friendly and a purchase with us will guarantee great customer support and customer-prioritized assistance. The will help to optimize energy consumption, decreasing heating and cooling costs.\nAre Tilt and Turn Windows More Secure?\nThe tilt and turn casement window type is the most secure. It features a multi-point locking system that securely locks the window sash in place. Tilt and turn windows have European standard RC2 intruder proofing which makes them more secure than any American style window. The glazing can also be ordered as safety glazing which adds extra security.\nTilt turn casement windows are very secure and durable. Their unique burglary-proof design ensures protection from the environment and most robbers/intruders. They use steel reinforced frames and a multi locking system. This makes them miles superior to North American standard windows. Our tilt turn have an RC value of 2-3. This is the European standard for protection and security against burglars, thieves, and other mischief workers. They can also be used as a great fire escape exit in case of emergency.\nOur tilt turn casement windows have secure laminated glazing. It has similar properties to those of windshields used in cars. If the window is damaged by a strong impact, the glass may crack but it will not shatter. This is due to the use of a thin film imbedded in the glass unit. It would support the many many small broken glass pieces and not let the whole window to be broken completely. This clever technology is not well known to be used in many windows American and Canadian. However, it is required in some places.\nIn most cases criminals would run away if they can’t get in, in the first minute, rather than keep trying. This is because in order to enter through the “broken” window, they would need to cut the film. Thereby cutting themselves in the process. This is due to the broken glass that would be left behind. It would leave blood on the scene that can be used by the authorities as evidence. It could also be used to track down the criminal(s). In the time that the criminal(s) would be running away or trying another way to enter, you can call the police and take action. If regular safety glazing is not enough, you can order 2 or 3 layers of laminated glazing. This would protect against any intruder.\nAre Tilt and Turn Windows More Expensive?\nDepending on the seller, vinyl tilt and turn windows can be from 5 – 60% more expensive than other window types. Tilt and turn windows in the US and Canada are more expensive because of their complicated hardware design, steel core reinforcement in the UPVC frames, and 1.5 times thicker profile wall thickness. However, not all tilt and turn windows are more expensive.\nMost UPVC European windows are more expensive than other window types because of several reasons. These are the 1.5 times thicker profile walls, steel core vinyl framing, triple pane glazing, and the complicated hardware.\nFor durability and structural strength, European windows use thicker profile walls and steel core tubing as reinforcement inside the windows’ vinyl (UPVC) frames. As the result, you are getting 5 – 10 times stronger frames. With the steel core specifically, you are also getting options for operable windows that are up to double the regular maximum size.\nFor better results, European windows use triple rather than double pane glazing. By choosing the triple pane route, you get 1.5 to 2 times higher energy efficiency, more resistance to condensation, and noticeably better soundproofing.\nFor a better user experience, higher satisfaction, higher security, and longer lifespan, European windows use a more complicated hardware system. This system also allows your to open the window in 2 ways, achieving 2 open modes plus a bonus one. With this system, you get better ventilation, more control, and a much better experience in general.\nHowever, at the end of the day, you can get both the benefits of European windows and premium quality at customer friendly costs. Instead of picking up midrange house windows, why not consider high class European windows for a very similar price. We offer 100% custom made European windows with premium quality and a verity of options in soundproofing, sun protection, and frame colors (56+). However, these are not like normal options in that they can all be optimized according to your location and climate to best suit your project, all starting at a great price.\nHow To Adjust Tilt and Turn Windows\nFor adjust the sash up and or side to side, you would need to use a 4mm Allen wench. To adjust the vertical tilt slope, you would need to swing the window inwards 90 degrees and use a Torx T15 on the back of the open window by the top hinge. Everything can be done by 1 person in less than 5 min.\nTilt and turn windows adjustment is not hard and can be done by anyone quite quickly. To adjust house windows (tilt turn style) it does not take many tools. For example, for adjusting the sash up and or side to side, you would need to use a 4mm Allen wench. The wrench needs to be used to offset a pin in the tilt and turn window lower hinge. This can be done by using the bottom of the Allen wrench to press down at the top of the lower hinge. Once the pin is down, you can freely adjust. To adjust the vertical tilt slope, you would need to swing the window inwards 90 degrees and use a Torx T15 on the back of the open window by the top hinge. You can see more details in the installation manual.\nUsually adjustment would need to be done after instillation. However, not all windows need to be adjusted. Ones that do, can be quickly adjusted in less than 5 minutes. Usually 2-3 minutes as average. If your house shifts slightly, you can easily compensate for it by adjusting the windows. It will only take you 15 – 20 minutes twice a year to adjust all the windows that need to be. This is a unique feature of tilt turn windows that allows them to be compatible in almost any scenario.\nDo Tilt and Turn Windows Break Easily?\nThe durability of windows depends on the glazing, frame, and hardware. Tilt and turn windows have 50% thicker chamber walls and steel core tubing. This makes tilt and turn frames 5 times stronger than regular vinyl frames. Tilt and turn windows also use triple pane glazing with 30% thicker glass panes, argon gas filling, and potential for safety glazing.\nThe frame quality as well as the frame strength greatly impact the performance in durability. Generally, the 2 main factors that determine the strength of window frames. They are the thickness of the frame chamber walls and the inclusion or exclusion of steel core inside the frames.\nWhy is the width of an UPVC window profile important? It is important because this thickness greatly impacts the structural strength of UPVC window. As well as thickness of steel core in the frames.\nIn North America, there are no class divisions in the thickness of the chamber walls in Vinyl window profiles. As such, vendors may end up selling windows without informing about the thickness of the wall in the Vinyl profile. Most commonly North American windows with Vinyl windows with chamber walls 1/16” – 5/64” (1.6 mm – 2 mm). In the US and Canada, window profiles are thinner. By European standards, they are Class C or B profiles. This means that they have thinner chamber walls. Not horrible but a flaw that can be fixed.\nThicker Frame Chamber Walls\nIn Europe, Vinyl (UPVC) grade A windows have thicker frame chamber walls. This provides better performance, durability, and longer service life. There, there are three classes of Vinyl (UPVC) profiles. They all classify a select range in chamber wall thickness. They are the Class A 3 mm (1/8″), Class B 2.5 – 2.7 mm (3/32″), and Class C 2.0 – 2.3 mm (5/64″). All offer better performance than North American windows. But, to make sure our customers get the best, we only use premium quality vinyl with European Class A thick chambers.\nSteel core in windows is flat steel tubing used all around the inside of the frames. It is a crucial aspect in structural performance of vinyl windows. However, it is not something used in American nor Canadian windows. This is a big flaw. Profiles without a use of steel tubing support in the frames are over 5 times weaker. This is a huge difference and may end up saving you money on replacing the windows.\nHowever, in European tilt and turn windows, steel core is a standard and a must. The thicker the steel core tubing, the stronger and tougher the windows are going to be. We, as GL Advanced windows, use extra wide and thick steel core reinforced in our window frames. All for best results. In Europe, they have attempted to use aluminum for reinforcement in the frames, but it is too high in thermal conductivity. Also, aluminum has 3 times lower score on Young’s modulus, it increase deflection aluminum profiles .\nThe glazing in windows is another very important durability aspect. The main factors that influence the strength of the glass units and the number of glass panes as well as the width of the glass panes used. Common North American windows use dual pane glazing with 1/8” panes. However, there are 3 grades of pane thicknesses in America. The common third class of 1/8”, the second 5/32, and first of 3/16”. 1/8” is seen as standard among windows in the US and Canada. However, they can break easily if not customized with endurance in mind.\nEuropean tilt and turn windows have triple pane glazing with 2 classes of glass pane thickness. They are the second of 5/32” and first of 1/4”. Safety glazing is another feature these kinds of windows can have. Safety glazing is a special laminate glazing where the window uses a thin film. This is to prevent shattering if damaged. If damaged, the glass would preform similarly to a car windshield. It is especially useful for burglary proofing and in windows on the second floor or above.\nOur Most Popular Window Combinations in 2024\nThe most classic window combination in modern times is to use a tilt and turn window in conjunction with picture windows. In such combination, the tilt and turn window provides the function while the picture windows fill in the rest of the desired window space.\nSimilarly, one could use a balcony door in this design instead of a tilt and turn window to achieve the same kind of effect. This is possible given that balcony doors are essentially large tilt and turn windows.\nPicture windows side by side. Given that picture windows have a maximum size of 64 sqft each, multiple picture windows can be placed side by side to achieve a larger window coverage. The same can be done with tilt and turn windows which have a maximum size of 25 sqft each.\nTilt and turn window sidelights with an entrance door. Instead of using picture windows as sidelights with entrance doors, a fine option would be to use tilt and turn windows instead. Depending on the design of your home, it could be beneficial to have the ability to ventilate with a sidelight. This way, airflow could be directed to run all the way through the house when needed.\nLift and slide doors with tilt and turn or picture windows. Lift and slide doors are a great addition to many homes. However, they can be costly and weight up to 1000lbs. As such, an option would be to order a slightly smaller door along with picture windows to fill in the wall space. The same can be done with tilt and turn windows.\nThe Two Kinds of Window Combinations\nConnected. The most basic type of window combination is to use different kinds of windows side by side to achieve the maximum benefit of each type. Usually, if the house design incorporates strategic window combinations, more convenience and efficiency is achieved.\nMulti-room air flow orientated. The second kind of window combination is to use different kinds of windows across different walls in a strategic way so that they all work in unison. For example, if the kitchen and living room are connected, an option might be to use a larger tilt and turn window in the kitchen and more picture windows in the living room. This way, more airflow could come from the kitchen into the living room and more light come in from the living room into the kitchen. Of course, the exact purpose and necessity of such systems varies widely and highly depends on the house layout.\nHow to Clean Tilt In Windows\nTo clean tilt windows you would need to turn the handle so that it would be parallel to the ground. Then the window is able to swing inwards which gives easy access to both sides of the sash for cleaning. This will only take less than 2 seconds to open.\nTilt in windows provide healthy ventilation. But its main complication is the difficulty to clean and maintain. Thankfully though, most of tilt in windows are tilt and turn windows which are great for cleaning. As of the past 30 years. This is because the turn functionality is so useful for cleaning. To clean the, you simple swing the sash in and use a cleaning solution on a cloth to wipe away the dirt and dust. It is a good idea to line the floor below the window with a cloth or plastic tarp before cleaning. This is so that any drips that would happen would not wet the floor directly. As for other maintenance chores, you would need to lightly grease the hinges one a year.\nHow to Tilt Windows\nTo tilt windows, you will need to turn the handle 90˚ or 180˚, depending on the kind of tilt and turn window you have. Most times, it is a 180˚ turn for the tilt mode. After the handle is turned, the window tilts in by itself. However, slight assistance may be required for smaller windows.\nIf the windows are able to tilt, you can simply turn the handle so that it is facing upwards. Then the window is freely able to tilt inwards. However, if you want very slow ventilation, our windows have the micro ventilation mode. For this mode, you can turn the handle 135˚ and pull in slightly. Now the window will let in small amounts of fresh air throughout the day through a very small opening at the top.\nOpening the window more often is a great way to improve the indoor air quality, your comfort, and your health. With tilt and turn windows, this is very easy to do. One quick turn, and you can forget about it since they can be left open for hours. Meanwhile, they ventilate your house in a very healthy way that does not blow air at leg or chest level. Instead, it directs the current up and forward, creating a healthy air flow cycle in your house. With windows that can only tilt, the procedure is the same.\nWindows That Swing Open\nWindows that swing open are turn or tilt and turn windows. They swing open inwards like a door, functioning on rotating hinges at the side, or side and top. They have the most reliable and dust tolerant opening hardware of all window types and can be made in sizes larger than 36” x 72”.\nUnlike windows which utilize sliding hinges, like casement or slider types, tilt and turn windows use rotating hinges which allow them to swing open. The swinging type of operation is considered the most reliable and stable. Since the window hardware in such models is not exposed to dust or dirt from the outside or inside, the mechanical pieces stay in pretty much, brand new condition for many years. There is also less inherent friction in the swinging design which limits possible issues and speeds up the working speed of the window. In addition to this, the fact that the hinges are contained on the side of the window facing the house interior, protects them from wind or harsh weather conditions outside. Such feature helps prolong the life of windows that swing open.\nIn addition to windows that swing open in just one direction, there are ones which can swing open in multiple directions. If the hinges are at the side, the window can swing open like a door. If the hinges are at the bottom, the window can tilt inwards. Tilt and turn windows have the latter two features. However, if the hinges are at the top, it is most likely a hopper window that swings open from the bottom.\nHow to Tilt Sash Windows\nTo tilt sash windows you would need to turn the handle so that the tip of the handle is facing up. Now it is able to tilt inwards and with barely any force can be gently pulled in so that it clicks into position. The whole posses will take you less than two seconds.\nThese windows are easy to use and have high performance. They are also energy efficient and are spreading in popularity across North America due to their superior properties and design.\nThese windows are easy to use and have high performance. They are also energy efficient and are spreading in popularity across north America due to their superior properties and design.\nWhat is a Tilted Window Called\nIn America, local vendors mainly call them tilt turn, they are premium European windows. They are also sometimes called German windows, especially if they are made with symmetric window pane technology.\nHow Do You Replace Tilt and Turn Window Handles\nReplacing handles on our tilt turn windows can not be easier. The handle has a thin plate right behind the gripping handle portion of the whole handle. This piece is attached only at one point, this means that it can pivot on that one point to tilted position. So, to remove the handle, you need to turn these piece 90 degrees. Now, there are going to be two screw heads visible, those need to be screwed out. Once this is done, you can remove the whole handle. It is now open for a new handle to be installed. The instillation presses is basically the opposite of removing the handle. Not much harder then that, just and 2 screws in tilted position of handle.\nCan You Still Get Tilt and Turn Windows?\nYes, tilt and turn windows are still available in the US and Canada. They are a popular choice for modern homeowners. Moreover, the market has been around for dozens of years and has no plan to downsize. As such, there are many options as for what to get specifically.\nFor those who are more accustomed to traditional windows used in the US and Canada, tilt and turn windows could seem like something new and uncommon. As such, opinions on them may be a bit unclear. Nonetheless, this is natural because tilt and turn windows are of a new generation for North America. Initially, they were only used in higher end projects of the wealthy. However, they are becoming more popular for all types of builds. More and more are being used for newer residential sectors and many are ordered as replacement windows for renovations. This surge in popularity is mostly because tilt and turn windows are objectively better than most standard window types. As such, they are gaining great reputation which further boosts their quick market growth. With this, comes a change in the trend of what people build with. So, it is expected that tilt and turn windows will remain a staple and grow in demand for years to come.\nWhy We Place Window Downward and Ventilation Upward\nWe do this because it provides healthy ventilation. Air flow can be higher this way and no strong airflow at chest level through the window is present. This way the air flow spreads on top of the window and close to the wall. Also, this way you can use the micro- mode. In this mode the window tilts inwards 3/8 of an inch inwards. It allows for slow but smooth air exchange without any thought. You can closer observe this on tilt and turn windows drawings where it shows air patterns.\nWhat are The Best Windows for Cold Climates\nThe best windows for cold climates have high heat gain coefficient (no less than 0.44) and a high ER (Energy Rating) of at least 34, by Canadian requirements. However, 40 – 45 is much more beneficial. It is also important that the window hardware is able to work even in icy conditions. As well as close with an airtight seal.\nFor a cold climate, such as in Canada and northern regions of the US, the best choice of window would be tilt turn. Ideally, one a triple pane glass unit that has argon gas and 2 low e glass panes. These high-performance products increase energy savings, comfort, and user experience. Vinyl or wood are the 2 best window options, in terms of material, for cold climates. Vinyl is a universal window material. It is very suitable for almost any climate, with great performance. Wood windows can be used in cold climates, but they need a clad layer in either vinyl or aluminum. Otherwise, the wood paint or top finish would crack to quickly.\nIf a more efficient option is wanted, a quad pane glazed unit with krypton gas, would be a better option. But, this is a rather pricey option. It also has issues with return on investment being very long.\nAre Casement Windows Better?\nIn market of American windows, casement windows are better. There are 2 types of casement windows, inswing (European) and outswing (standard). The main advantage of these windows is ventilation. But other factors such as usability, influence the performance. As such, these windows are better than other window types.\nCasement windows are better than picture or hopper windows. The best of these being tilt turn windows. They are much better than fixed picture windows because you can open the window. Amounts that, they also have many more advantages in versatility. Inward opening windows are also easier for cleaning and maintenance.\nAnother common window type in north America is the hopper. Casement windows are better than slider or hopper windows in several ways. They are don’t require a lot of force to open, are not limited in size due to operation weight restrain and offer a much tighter locking seal. This helps create a better overall user experience. As well as provide you with better performance and design possibilities.\nAre Triple Pane Windows Worth It?\nYes. Triple pane windows with argon gas can provide double the energy efficiency (R-value) of double pane with argon gas. They also provide a large advantage in soundproofing of up to 8dB – 12dB more sound protection. The price difference between a double pane and a triple pane may be less than 10%.\nOur simple triple pane glass units with argon gas have double the thermal properties of even the best dual pane products. They have a high R value of 8.1 – 8.7 as compared to the 3.5 – 4 on double pane glazing. The 3 panes of glass also provide a very good level of soundproofing. Our economical windows have an essential 33db to as compared to 26db difference in sound proofing. Very good for blocking out a high percentage of city and traffic noise. The triple panes of glass allow for sun protection to be done without tinting the glass. It also disperses the coating across 3 panes as opposed to 2. This allows for high sun protection to be invisible on triple pane windows. Without heavy heat-loaded glass panes.\nTilt Turn Window Glazing and The Color Rendering Index\nAll our glazing is handpicked to order by our window specialists to ensure only the most excellent results. In addition to optimizing basic glass properties, we also consider the Color Rendering Index. Following this, we can custom engineer the windows to have the highest grade possible. All this based on specific details relating to your project. Although to some a small detail, we take all window properties very seriously. As such, the Color Rendering Index is important to us.\nThe Color Rendering Index (CRI), looks at the percentage of distortion in color quality. Ever notice the difference between how things look outside and how things look through a window? That difference in color quality can be seen when comparing CRI % in glass units. Most windows in the USA and Canada use glass with a 94% rating. This is generally considered a standard in North America. However, we want you to have only what is best. As such, we custom-make all our products to have a CRI rating of 97%. This means that you will enjoy the comfort of having the closest replication of the outdoor scenery from inside your home. It also means that the light passing through your window will be the most authentic to natural light outside.\nMoreover, by achieving these high CRI numbers, we make no compromise to other window properties. We also ensure that this boosted comfort quality doesn’t cost you extra.\nAre Window Prices Going Up?\nWindow prices are going up since 2020 given the rising energy, labor, and material costs, as well as the increasing interest rates. In short, since all aspects in the supply chain of black windows have become more costly, window prices have increased. Sadly, these prices are not expected to fall.\nLikely the biggest reason why window prices are going up has to do with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, interest rates have grown and energy costs for gas, electricity, and more have increased. Thereby, making the process of constructing windows more expensive. Likewise, labor costs have gone up and materials like vinyl, metal, and wood have become more expensive. All three of these diving factors raise the cost of production. As such, prices for windows, especially black windows, have increased. Additionally, the increase of demand for home renovations that was present during the pandemic time, contributed to a raise in window prices at the time. That raise in demand in the past helped influence the current picture.\nAnother aspect of these rising prices is the ratio between salary and product cost. Although the prices for many things have grown, so did the salaries of many. However, this ratio between rising prices everywhere and the increased individual income is slightly unbalanced.\nDespite all the aforementioned, however, window prices have actually more or less stabilized recently.\nTilt and Turn Window Sizes\nTilt and turn window sizes range from 20×20” – 48×96”. These windows can come in both standard and custom sizes for the US and Canada. Standard tilt and turn window sizes might be available at a cheaper price but custom sizes are more versatile.\nMany times, other window types limit the opening width of a window to a maximum of 36”. However, tilt and turn window sizes can go up to 60” in width for the whole sash to open. As such, more custom shapes can be achieved. This adds many possibilities for increasing comfort and house aesthetics. Nevertheless, a wrong size can be chosen. As such, when going about the process of choosing the correct size, it is important to know how the windows you examine are measured. Sometimes, measurements are given of the rough opening needed to house the corresponding windows. Other times, the numbers given are the exact dimensions of the windows themselves. In the latter case, the gap between the windows and the rough opening needs to be figured out separately.\nOften, the process of creating your home can be very empowering. It allows one to exercise their creative freedom and show for it. As such, custom tilt and turn window sizes are a great option. Although a project can be easily constructed with standard sizes in mind, custom sizes provide that extra bit of freedom and comfort.\nTilt And Turn Windows for the Passive House\nThe integration of Passive house standards to the new buildings is becoming a new mainstream in upper-middle class real estate projects. However, very few developers start passive house certification. Through this certification possess, you can be officially approved to build certified passive house buildings. Many don’t apply for the passive house certification. This process is expensive and time-consuming. Those who do go through this process raise their prices. So, not many consumers choose builders with this passive house certification.\nA passive house is not only built with high insulation. Efficient heating is also a must. This can be done with heat pumps. Passive house projects also try to eliminate thermal bridges.\nThe easiest way to increase overall performance is to lower thermal bridging. Lowering thermal bridging is key for general quality assurance. This is done, now mainly with the use of improved framing technology.\nTo save energy storage for cloudy days on which solar energy can not be collected builders use high performance passive house components. These high performance passive house components such as Air-to-Air and Ground-to-Air heat pumps have a high efficiency SEER rating of around 20-22. Even higher for ground-to-air heat pumps. High performance passive house components are even more important in solar passive houses. This is because there energy is only collected from photovoltaic solar panels. This is important as the limitation of energy storage demands an efficient heating system. Our windows have great heat recovery and are a great choice for certified passive houses.\nTilt Turn Windows Provide You With Great Energy Savings\nTilt and turn windows provide you with great energy savings. Up to 3 times less energy loses than traditional American windows. A large portion of energy loses comes from, about 25% in Canada. As such, it is important to make sure that you limit this. You can do so by using energy efficient windows like the tilt and turn.\nThe R value of shelf windows at Home depot have an R value of about 2. Windows act as a thermal bridge in a house. This is because of the difference between the R values of the windows and walls. The walls having an R value of about 15 – 20. This means that through them heat or cold from the outside enters inside. Similar can be said about the indoor warmth leaking outdoors. To minimize these energy losses, it is important to get windows with a high R value. As close as you can get to the wall R value. Tilt and turn windows provide you with great energy savings. Our tilt and turn windows will provide you with about 3 times less energy loses than standard north American windows. Tilt and turn windows also have better glazing. It reduces energy losses from the inside to the outside through cooling and air conditioning. The better glazing also drastically reduces overheating from the sun. All of these energy saving properties help save you a lot of money on energy bills.\nAnother advantage of tilt and turn windows is that in combo with great energy savings, you get great aesthetics. Tilt and turn windows are available in many colors and material chooses. They can be used in a large variety of styles and can be ordered in special shapes and custom specifications. They are free to customize down to almost every aspect, if the right supplier is picked.\nHow To Operate Tilt and Turn Windows\nTo operate tilt and turn windows, you need to turn the handle into one of 4 positions. They are the lock (starting position), tilt (180˚ turn), turn (90˚ turn), and micro-mode (135˚ turn). For the turn mode, turn the handle and pull it to open the window. For the tilt mode, you just turn the handle.\nOperation of the Tilt and Turn fenestration system couldn’t be simpler. All it takes is a turn of the handle to select between different modes. Unlike fixed windows, tilt and turn ones are double action. You can select the ‘tilt’ position for passive ventilation, or choose the ‘turn’ mode for maximum ventilation. You can also select the micro- mode mode by turning the handle 135˚. So, technically these windows are triple action. In it, the window lets in fresh air while at the same time prevents rain and dust from entering.\nAll while providing a healthy air flow route without a direct breeze in your face. The turn position allows you to fully open the window in. This wide opening enables maximum air change. It also allows for easy access to both sides of the sash. This is very useful for cleaning and maintenance purposes. In an emergency situation, it is also great as a tilt and turn windows fire escape, meeting egress window requirements, and fire regulations for these cases. It is one of the many reasons why people choose tilt and turn windows in bedrooms and basements.\nHow Do You Fit a Tilt And Turn Window\nTo fit a tilt and turn window in, you need to first, make sure your measurements line up. Second, line the footer and bottom corners of the rough opening with the right membrane. Third, attach the tilt and turn brackets to the sides of the window. Fourth, fit the window in and screw the brackets to the four sides of the rough opening.\nTo fit a tilt and turn window in right, it is best that you choose the right size window to begin with. As the biggest concern when buying windows is for them to fit properly. Many make standard sizes only. As such, there can be a chance that the windows won’t fit into the rough cut out in the wall. For some houses, a window about 30” wide needs a rough opening of 30-31″ wide. This depends on whether nominal or actual measurements are used. If the window is nominally 30” wide, the rough opening needs to be 30” wide in actual. On the other hand, if the window is actually 30” wide, the rough opening needs to be actual of 31”. In other homes, for the same window size, an opening of 30″, 30 7/8″, or 31″ is needed by the window company’s standards.\nThus, the rough opening cut out may not be of exact dimensions required to house a set size of windows. Different supplies, different requirements and different measurement types. So, it is always better to custom order. If the rough opening has been accurately measured and that data has been used to dictate the window’s size. You can fit a tilt and turn window in perfectly. We only sell custom sized products to fit your project. However, this will not cost you even $1 more. Our windows are suitable for a 1” range in the opening width and provide successful results. So, if you are not sure about the size of the rough opening, this can compensate for small measurement mistakes. If you are not able to precisely measure the rough openings, it is best to order slightly smaller windows. Why? So that there are bigger gaps rather than smaller ones as this adds to be performance of the windows rather than add problems.\nBig Variety of Sizing Options\nSmallest sash size we offer is 18×18”. Maximum sash size if 4×8’ or 5×5’.\nThe main size limiting factor is the weight of the sash. If they are to be bigger, the hinges would simply not be able to support the heavy sash in operation consistently with good performance. However, the options we can already supply are heavy as it is. The largest windows we can offer weight upwards of 100-130 kg (220-300 lbs) per sash not including the weight of the frame or fixed portion (if it is an operable window).\nBut this is not the biggest a whole window unit can be.\nIn a single frame, there can be multiple sashes. This increases the size potential of the whole window unit (including the frame and multiple sashes) to be up to 65-70 square feet (wall size). This system allows for large operable windows to be built for any sized house and for glass wall/storefront option possibilities.\nHow Much do Tilt and Turn Windows Cost?\nThe cost of a tilt and turn window would start at around $170. The final tilt turn windows cost depends on factors such as size, frame color, glazing, quality, and hardware. A standard tilt and turn window with a size of 36” x 48”, in white, would start at $300. If the cost of 2 windows is the same, compare their quality, size, and glazing. The same can be said about the prices. If the quality and size of two windows is the same, compare their cost.\nTilt and turn windows grey, black, white, and brown windows are the most common tilt-turn colored windows. Glazing upgrades such as soundproofing and sun heat gain control would cost an additional 2 – 20% more. Color frame options would increase the cost by 10-15%. Choosing acryl-color frames instead of vinyl ones would cost 21 – 22% more. We control overhead costs which allows us to offer lower prices to our customers. As such we can provide windows with a budget friendly cost. However, this does not compensate for the quality, we use only the highest grade upvc, hardware, glazing, and wide steel core tubing. In addition, everything is custom made to order and customers get a large verity of advanced options in the design and properties of the windows.\nWhat is The Average Cost for Triple Pane Windows\nTriple pane windows cost 10 – 15% more than double pane windows. However, triple pane windows are 2 – 4 times better in performance. A triple pane fixed window would with a size of 36” x 48” would have an average cost of $230 – $270. The same window but operable would have an average cost of about $400.\nThe only downside of triple pane windows is the 25 – 30% heavier weight. But this is easily compensated for by the 2 – 4 times better performance. Our triple pane tilt and turn windows have the best performance of triple pane windows. However, instead of charging lots of money for them, we sell them at a budget friendly price. They, in a size of 36” by 48”, would start at $US 319.00 ($388 CAD). For the same sized picture window with triple pane glazing and hardware, the price starts at $220 ($285 CAD). But the final price will depend on the quantity, properties, colors chosen, the season, the delivery cost, and finalized quote.\nIn comparison with tilt and turn windows double glazed, triple pane ones are twice as more efficient and a lot more reliable. They also provide much greater soundproofing and can increase your house value. This also comes at a bargain as for all of the benefits triple pane you would only be paying 12 – 15% more than you would for double glazed windows.\nTilt and Turn Windows USA Price\nThe tilt and turn windows USA Price is from $250 – $3000 USD per window. For the whole house package, the tilt and turn windows USA price would be from $6000 – $150,000. However, this price widely varies depending on the window size and other factors.\nThere are many aspects that effect the price of tilt and turn windows. The main ones are the window size, its frame color and material, and the selected glazing options. In general, given a standard completion of white frames and triple pane glazing, the tilt and turn window price in the USA would be from $400 – $1200 per window. If the window is large, the price may go up to $3000 per window. If the window has colored frames like black ones, and specialized glazing, the price would be 12 – 20% higher than regular. In any case, for more precise pricing information on your exact window needs, it is always best to see a quote or get an estimate. Since there are many individual factors that effect the cost on a more detailed level, rough price ranges and percentages might not always be enough information to make decisions based on price alone.\nAre Casement Windows More Expensive Than Sliders?\nCasement windows are more expensive than slider or hopper windows. This is by about 10 – 15% if the sliders are good quality. If they or hoppers are shelf quality, mid range casement windows would be double the price. This is because they use more hardware and typically better-quality materials, glazing, and hardware.\nThe best price to performance ratio is important to find. Between casement windows, hoppers and sliders, the best ratio goes to shelf sliders or hopper and high-quality casement windows. Sliders or hopper are best for the price if they are sold as shelf windows or self replacement windows. They can be good for garages, barns, and budget rental units. They are also good for transport vehicles like buses and RVs, as well as for boats. High quality casements like tilt turn however, are much better in performance. Although the price is higher, for the performance and quality, they are worth it.\nIf you are looking for something that will preform well and serve you for more than 5 years, casement windows are best for the price. They come in great quality and in 2 variation. They are the out swing (usually crank style), and in swing (usually tilt and turn style). The best quality will obviously be the best, however they are more expensive right? Normally yes. However, we sell premium quality in swing tilt and turn windows at a budget friendly price. These have the best price to performance and quality ratio. So, you get the best of the best for a great price.\nWith our tilt and turn in swing windows, you get all the power. You can customize the shape, size, color, and special properties. Properties like sound-proofing and sun heat protection. No standard sizes and a large variety of frame colors to choose from (over 60).\nWhat is The Main Drawback to The Use of a Casement Window?\nThe main drawback to the use of a casement window for a new project is the limiting size. After a certain size, they because hard to operate. In already installed windows, the main drawback is the quality. Older casements and hopper windows and their replacement variants use outdates crank style or similar opening mechanism.\nThe main drawback of a casement window is the limiting size. The maximum size of it may be is 36×72”. However, it is not recommended ordering them larger than 32” in width and 72” in height. This is because casement windows larger than the 32”x72” size, start to lose the smooth operation. On the other hand, tilt and turn windows can be up to 60” in width and a 42-48” wide window sash may be up to 8 feet (2.44 m) in height. Large inward opening tilt and turn are also easy to clean.\nIn the past, the main drawback was considered the in-ability to install window air conditioners in them. However, this is an outdated concept by 20 – 40 years. Currently, central air conditioners are used. They are more energy efficient and useful. So, now, window air conditions are not a drawback of these windows, replacement or not. Hopper windows had a similar problem but not anymore.\nHopper is another option. Hopper windows are good as emergency escape routs. Hopper windows are also common in kitchens but these open outwards and called Awning windows. Hopper is can be a good choice for its cost but other options are available.\nTilt and Turn Windows for Balconies\nInstead of using a door, you can use door-sized operable windows, or tilt and turn windows doors. These windows have very similar capabilities to that of a door but also have the tilt function. This dual opening design allows for quick access to the balcony as well as be used to bring in fresh air. They also don’t have high resistance locking point levers. Instead, they have a multi point locking system that locks the window from all 4 sides with an effortless twist of the large handle. These windows are great for a Juliet style balconies, French style balconies, and Deck style balconies.\nAccess Control System For Tilt Turn Windows and Doors\nOur Tilt and Turn windows and doors are available with a set up for an access control system. We provide for it the necessary smart home lock gadget accessory. With this access control system lock, you get multiple options of activation. This achieves the option of a remote or keyless opening and closing of windows and doors.\nThe electromechanical lock we can provide, would be inserted inside the frame. It would then be open for control from almost any electronic input you desire. Such input may be in the form of a number pad, fingerprint sensor, button on a wall or any other electronic configuration you find with your smart home supplier. Furthermore, the wiring can be set up through the frame. This handy feature makes all the system components invisible. Most commonly, such systems are used for extra security. However, smart home technology is becoming increasingly common. With this comes an increase of variety in ways that one could use the set up for an access control system. One option may include voice operated ventilating cues. Another, automatic door and window opening when the fire alarm goes off. Such systems could also be used to keep children from crawling out of windows.\nTilt and Turn Windows Problems\nAlthough there are no inherent turn windows problems, there may be some after poor installation. For example, there could be problems with smooth operation, air/water leakages, and hardware. However, all these problems can be fixed with sash adjustment and by following proper opening procedures.\nWith tilt and turn windows, there are specific window problems that may occur if the installation is done poorly. For example, the sash might have become crooked or knocked off its proper opening path. Even if the sash is just slightly off-angle, it could already cause some problems. Firstly, you may notice that the window opens and closes stiffly and requires more effort than it should. It may also be apparent that the window leaks through a little bit of air if it is windy outside. The same kind of leakages may happen if it is rainy or stormy outside.\nAlthough the problems listed above are nothing to enjoy, they can be easily fixed. Since all of them are a result of sash dis-alignment, they can be all fixed if the sash is adjusted back into its proper place. These adjustments are easy to do and requires no past experience nor professional tools. All you will need is a few minuets per window and an Allen wrench. However, air and water leakages can also be caused by poor sealing procedures when getting the windows installed. Such leakages then would not be particularly a tilt and turn windows problem but rather an installation issue.\nIn addition to possibly needing adjustments after installation, one problem that may occur is the window getting suck open. If such problem occurs, it can also be fixed easily and effortlessly prevented.\nAlong side specific problems of tilt and turn windows, there are also some general ones that can apply both to tilt and turn windows as well as to many other types of windows. One such problem has to do with the hardware. If the windows opened and closed recklessly or too forcefully, the hardware may become damaged and the windows will become less comfortable to use. Another such problem is with condensation. If the glass unit is of a lower quality or the weather outside is particularly extreme, tilt and turn windows are not immune to condensation building up on the glass. However, such problems are standard with most windows and actions can be taken to minimize these effects.\nThere is another general tilt and turn window problem that some may face. That is, tilt and turn windows open inwards unlike casement windows which open outwards. They can even open fully with the whole sash swinging inside like a door. As such, you need to make sure that there is enough space inside the house behind the windows for them to open. If the home is small, this may be an issue as space is limited. However, there are many ways to work around this issue. For example, alternative placing for specific furniture can be planned ahead of time to provide enough room for the windows to open. That is, strategic planning is all that’s needed.\nHow to Open Tilt and Turn Windows?\nTo open tilt and turn window, you need to turn the large handle. It controls the multi point locking system around the inside of the frame. Turn the handle 90° for cleaning access or turn the handle 180° for healthy ventilation. If you need slow one, turn the handle 135°. All the operations are easy to do.\nThe opening mechanism used in European tilt and turn windows is very secure. But, it is also designed in a way that allows for fast and easy operation. These windows have a large modern handle that is used to regulate between 4 different modes. The modes are the tilt, turn, lock, and the micro-ventilation. The tilt and turn windows operating instructions are quite simple and can be done by almost anyone.\nWith the handle in a vertical position in which the end of the handle is pointing down towards the floor, the window is securely locked in multiple points all around the inside of the frame, this is the tilt and turn window lock system that is very difficult to break. This ensures a tight seal and worry-free protection from any forceful or even aggressive tugs from the outside.\nWindows That Open Upwards\nWindows that open upwards are usually vertical sliders or awing windows, not tilt and turn ones. Given that tilt and turn windows are very heavy, they can’t be used with vertical slider opening systems. However, they are a good alternative to awing windows that open upwards.\nMany times, when upward opening windows are planned in a project, there are Awing windows used for the kitchen(s). Although these windows can be used in other areas around the house, lack of fire escape possibilities rids them of the opportunity to be used alone inside bedrooms or bathrooms. As such, tilt and turn windows are a great alternative as they provide both ventilation and fire escape in case of emergency.\nVertical sliders are another type of window that open upwards. They are a very traditional north American type. In the past, they were very common and easy to use because thin single or double glass panes where used. However, since now thicker glass units are used, the slider technology is becoming outdated. Instead of upward opening windows, there is now more of a trend for windows that swing open or tilt.\nGrill Option For Tilt And Turn Windows, Choose From Many Colors And Layouts\nWe use an AKO grill system with thicknesses of 18mm (11/16”), 26mm (1”), or 46mm (1 ¾”), as you specify. Th They are available in 30 colors (painted) and in 20 laminated color options. They can be painted in 2 different colors. One on one side (the exterior) one color and the other side (interior) another. This allows for many more design choices and creates room for advanced customization. However if you choose wide black or dark grills, the windows you order with them should have tempered glass panes surrounding the grills. This is to account for the increased air pressure caused by the grills when they get hot. This is especially important if you live in a warmer climate with more sunny days.\nAs for the patters, we are very flexible. We do not have fixed grill pattern options but instead construct windows with your custom grill patterns in the layouts you want.\nWe do not offer wood grills because the premium UPVC frames are not suitable for them. Wood grills inside vinyl windows create many obstacles in the way of comfortable and care-free use. However, wood grills do work well with old wooden framed windows.\nWhat is Privacy Glazing?\nPrivacy glazing is special glazing that is used to make it difficult to see through the window. Depending on the type of privacy glazing, the properties of the glass change. There are 3 main types of privacy glazing. They are the mirror like, obscure, and smooth mat. They all use a laminated coating for their faded glass look.\nThe mirror like privacy glazing is a great option that will work on both fixed (picture) and tilt turn windows. This type of glazing allows users to see through without obstructions from the inside. But at the same time it greatly distorts the appearance of the inside from the outside. However, if it is dark outside and inside the lights are on, their effect disappears.\nVariants in obscure glazing are common but effective at providing a good level of privacy. Unlike mirror-like glazing, obscure glazing is not dependent on whether it is dark or light outside. However, it creates a blur in the viewing experience from both outside and in. The intensity of the blur varies from option to option. This might be a good choice for you if you are looking for a very privacy forward tilt turn or fixed window. If a large see-through window (or glass unit) can not be used due to a lack of privacy it would provide these are great. They can be used for bathrooms, walk-in closets, entrance doors, and side lights. Another big benefit of these windows is that they have high visual transmittance. Making them almost like regular see-though windows as it relates to how much light enters inside though them.\nSmooth mat privacy glazing is another option. It used uses an even and smooth mat film that provides a tinted look without the drawbacks of actual tinted glass. The most common color for this is a white cream color but a large variety of other colors can be requested. Its effect is the same from both inside and out. It also has lower visual transmittance. But the intensity of the effect can be adjusted in order to allow in more light. It is a very private orientated option.\nAs an honorable mention, there are also exotic privacy glazing options. These include light up glass panes and ones where the window blurs a picture on the glass. Tinted glass is also sometimes considered a privacy glazing option.\nWe offer all the 3 privacy glass options. The, mirror like, obscure, and smooth mat for picture and tilt turn windows as well as for doors and sidelights. These are the same for installation as regular windows.\nHouse Window Won’t Close All the Way\nSharp or fast movements of the tilt and turn window handle can cause the safety mechanism to activate. This locks the handle and prevents the house window from closing all the way. To fix this, you need to align the leaver with the rest of the metal track down the side of the profile.\nIn some rare cases, tilt and turn windows can get stuck in the open position. This usually happens because the handle is turned too fast which forces the safety mechanism to activate and the handle to lock. To fix this issue, you will need to find a flat metal leaver on the side of the window profile, underneath the handle, and turn it so that the tip of the leaver aligns vertically parallel to the side of the profile. Now, you can turn the handle and close the window carefully. Unless you turn the handle fast again, you will have no issues with the same kind of problem again. However, even if it happens again, you do not need to worry as it has no harmful effects on the hardware and mechanism.\nOther types of house windows can also get issues where they won’t close all the way. For those, it is best to check with your supplier for directions on how to fix the problem.\nDisadvantages of Tilt and Turn Windows\nDisadvantages of tilt and turn windows are that they have slightly wider frames, cost more, and are heavier than other window types. Some models might also not come with nail flanges or mosquito screens, and some have difficult to install blinds. As such, a balanced solution is required.\nFirstly, given that the tilt and turn window system is more complicated than other styles, the frames need to be wide enough to house all the technology. When compared to crank style casement windows, tilt and turn ones are from 1 – 2” wider in total frame length. Some may see this difference as a small disadvantage.\nAlso, because the frames are wider, when an operable tilt and turn window unit is placed along side a fixed window, there is more of a visual distinction between the two types. Although the same can be said about other operable window types, with tilt and turn windows, there is more of that effect. However, we have several ways to solve this problem.\nThe second disadvantage lies in the price. Tilt and turn windows are more expensive than other window types like casement or double hung. Such is the case given that the window technology is more complicated. On average, they cost about 5 – 20% more than other types. However, for this price difference you would be receiving a better user experience. In the long run, the satisfaction tilt and turn windows bring is hard to beat.\nThirdly, there is the issue of weight. Since these windows have steel reinforcement in the frames and have thicker glass panes, they are 20 – 30% heavier than casement windows. This aspect makes them more difficult to move around and install. So, it could take longer and thus cost more to install tilt and turn windows vs other types.\nFourthly, there are cons that come along with the windows being inswing. Since wind blows from the outside in, windows that open inside, like tilt and turn, need to have a high quality multi-point locking system. If this system is not of good quality, the windows may leak air under windy or stormy conditions. As such, we made sure that our windows are always able to securely close with a tight seal.\nAnother notable point is to consider is whether your tilt and turn windows have nail flanges. If they do not, there may be issues with the installation. Particularly, getting a tight seal may be difficult without nail flanges. However, if nail flanges are present, then there are typically no issues. With our products, nail flanges are a no brainer, of course they have them.\nFinally, it is important to make sure that your tilt and turn windows come with mosquito screens. Some offer them for an additional charge. However, no need to worry about them with us, mosquitos are a must and are automatically included for no extra charge.\nAdditionally, it is good to keep in mind that some blinds that come with tilt and turn windows might be more difficult to install since they go right up against the glass.\nTilt and Turn European Windows\nTilt and turn European windows can be bought in the USA and Canada. In fact, more and more builders in north America are switching to tilt and turn European windows. Such windows come in many options and with various price points.\nThe new direction people are moving in is using high quality reliable products. Part of this movement is switching from north American style windows to tilt and turn European ones. The latter are more user friendly and higher tech which compliments the desires of modern home owners today. However, not all the options are equal. Some yield better product satisfaction for the short and long term than others. As such, it is critical to check that your tilt and turn European windows have the correct properties. That is, the windows need to have optimized glazing and use reliable frame technology like UPVC frames with steel reinforcement. However, there nuances within these requirements. Factors like project location and frame color alone have a huge impact. The budget also needs to be considered and everything else worked around it. So, it is not an easy process. However, all the work is not for nothing as it is essential for ensuring stable performance and longevity.\nCan You Put AC In Fire Escape Window\nYou can put AC in a fire escape window if you do so according to the building code. The most important thing is that after the AC unit is installed, the window remains usable as a fire escape for emergency cases and follows the minimum requirements. It needs to be no more than 44” from the floor and have a clear span opening of 5.7 sq. ft.\nYes, this can be done but it is important to meet the requirements of your local business building code. The operable sash needs to be over the ac unit and have unobstructed access for fire escape. When the window is open there should also be about a 5.7 square feet opening with at least one of the sides at least 16”. More accurate measurements are stated in your local building code. Also, it is stated that the bottom of the sash needs to be less than 40” off the ground. If it is higher than that, you would need to have a stepping stool near it. The stool needs to be no less than 12” in width and be able to support your body weight.\nCurrently, window air conditioning units are not commonly used. Instead, split air conditioners are used that are installed above the window. So, with them you would have no problems as it relates to fire escape windows.\nTilt turn windows work great as a fire escape window. They are fast to open and easy to climb out of. Making them a safe and efficient fire escape window choice.\nTilt And Turn Windows Safety And Comfort Benefits\n• Senior and child friendly – no noticeable efforts to open because of the big handles.

This is for the superior energy efficiency. It saves 70-80% of household energy losses from windows compare with traditional single glazed windows.\nTriple pane glazing has significant advantages, including:\n• Long term lower energy costs\n• A reduced carbon footprint\n• Reduction of heat loss in cold weather\n• Reduction of sun heat gain in hot weather\n• Withstand severe weather events including heavy rain, snow, storms\n• Reduced external noise\n• Little work require to keep it in good shape\nMulti-glazed glass units are produced with a gap in between the panes of glass. The gaps are filled with neutral gas like argon. To confer superior thermal and acoustic protection. Though its score rating is better, it is not smart to use quadruple pane windows. They are much heavier than triple pane ones and cost more. In many cases, it is just not worth it to increase the thermal resistance of windows to such a high level. Triple pane products are less expensive and more durable. They have 50% less seems than quadruple. Has an optimal ratio of cost.\nPurchasing quadruple pane windows is a serious decision.

This timber also had to be special European lumber that came in three pieces that got glued together (glue-lam). They were layer out in long sections and later cut to be assembled as a window frame. The profile detentions were: 78x78mm (3×3”). In the 70s and 80s, this was considered normal but as the years progressed, windows demanded frames thicker and wider than this. Currently, the thickness and width of the frames increased to 87x87mm (3 ½x3 ½ “). Glue-lam is still used today with the lumber of choice being usually pine, with all its pros and cons. Glue-lam is currently manufactured in Russia and China but shipped to Europe where it is used to make the windows. This makes it hard to control the quality of the glue-lam.\n- Pine (most commonly used in tilt and turn windows timber window frames) may become a potential food source for termites\n- Wood tilt and turn windows keeps requires high maintenance\n- The glass bed is glued to the glass unit.\nThis creates problems if you ever want to replace the glass unit because in the proses of removing the old glass unit, the glass bed would break requiring replacement. The replaced glass bed would also be slightly off color from the rest of the frame due to the prosses of how they are made. This would partially ruin the look of the window.\n- The quality of the frames is unpredictable due to them being manufactured in Russia or China but sold to you from Europe. The defects these types of frames might have may also not be visible and noticeable in the start but in several years, they may grow becoming noticeable and annoying.\nAdvantages of Tilt Turn Windows for Canada:\nUsually in Canada the temperature difference between the inside and outside is quite high. This inclines people to ventilate the building. This is quite easy to do but, most windows that open, have unhealthy air flow system. These windows open in a way that allows airflow to occur parallel to the floor. This can be quite uncomfortable, especially in the winter and potentially lead to an unwanted sickness. This is because, in the winter, cold air from the outside can quickly enter inside and because of the flaw in design, the air exchange happens at human-height level. In the summer, or in hot climates, the same can be said. But the cooler air would then be inside the building and, hot air, outside the building.\nTilt and turn windows offer a healthy air flow cycle. Because of the unique and cleaver design, tilt turn windows can provide you with a healthy ventilation system. In the tilt position, the air exchange is directed upward allowing for a healthier air flow cycle. The windows tilt inward and pivot on the bottom making open room at the top. This also allows for healthier air flow as the cold or hot air does not blow directly at you but instead up.\nThe medium (average) age in Canada is 39+. As such, more middle aged people who are planning to build a house for themselves and their family is looking for windows that will survey them longer and be easy to use even in their senior years. Families with older dwellers in the household also benefit from easy to use fast operating windows. The European tilt and turn system we offer has simple and easy operation. Perfect for Canada and the US. A tilt and turn window has a large handle with which you can select between different modes of window opening. Turning the handle is also easy and requires very little resistance for opening. Unlike the cranking-style system used in many standardized North American windows, our tilt turn windows have a fast to use system with the huge benefit of not becoming harder to open as the years go by.\nEven big windows can be opened quite easily\nLarge windows that use the crank style system are difficult to open. Because larger windows are also heavier, inefficient opening systems such as the cranking-style system become much harder to operate in large windows.\nLarge Tilt and Turn Windows, They can be Large\nLarge tilt turn windows don’t require nearly as much effort to open. The tilt position uses gravity as the main force to open the window, and in the turn position, the German technology allows for much smoother operation without demanding much work at all.\nTilt turn windows provide and unobstructed view even though they are inoperable. This means that they have the main advantage of picture windows that is provide an unobstructed view, while also providing the functionality of an operable window.\nOperable windows may be limited to a certain size, usually smaller than you would like. This can discourage you from your custom design and force you to get smaller operable windows.\nOur tilt turn windows can be ordered quite large, with the tilt and turn windows maximum size of 60” x 60” or 48” x 96” per sash. This allows developers to design building with a more advanced feel and contributes to faster sales. This also allows home owners more options for replacing windows and custom home builders to design more comfortable homes.\nWell built Tilt Turn European Windows don’t Freeze in the Winter if Left Slightly Open\nCranking-style windows can freeze up and if left slightly open in the winter. This can cause the window to be inoperable and frozen in place until it is warmer outside, this is why it might not shut. If this does happen to your crank windows, we can suggest using hot water in the frozen area, if you need.\nOur tilt turn windows use German technology that prevents the window from freezing up. So you do not have to worry that you forgot to close the windows. However if the windows ever slightly freeze up, you can simple open the window in turn-mode and swing the it in. This would then allow you to quickly clean the window of any frozen bits. This can be done under 20 seconds.\nMosquito nets are possible to install allowing for mosquito-free interiors. We can provide mosquito nets that match the color of your frame by order if you need.\nTilt turn windows increase the value of your house.\nMany think European advanced windows are much more expensive. This is definitely possible but we supply premium quality European windows for about the same price as vendors in North America charge for Canadian or US standard windows. The lower prices allow you to invest in more comfortable products without spending extra. They can make your property look and feel more expensive and premium without you paying a premium.\nTilt and Turn Window Installation\nUsually tilt turn windows are harder to install than North American windows. This is because they are originally meant to be installed in brick or stone walls. But, our built-in simple instillation system makes them easy if not easier to install than American windows.\nWe use a nail flange system with load bearing steel brackets for installation. This allows for secure tilt and turn window instillation without problems. The steel brackets are inserted every 24 – 28” in small or medium-sized windows. In larger or extra large windows they are inserted every 12 – 18”. This creates a durable and secure results that pass all building code requirements. Also, it doubles the requirements needed for them to be considered hurricane proof. Our nail flange system provides a water tight seal. Even under maximum test pressure.\nIf installing in a hot climate, you might have to deal with hot temperature which can be a reason why labor would cost more.\nWindow instillation may seem difficult and even daunting for some. But, it is quite simple. Especially with our tilt turn window installation system. Most who install windows themselves are happy with the results. So, no need to hire a high end pro to do this job for you. One with descent experience and an affordable price will probably do the job just fine. If you do the installation according to our manual (tilt and turn window guide), tilt and turn windows leaking and jamming will not be a problem what so ever.\nWindow instillation may seem difficult and even daunting for some.

We only supply tilt and turn windows, so, we trust our customers to handle our premium products and be able to successfully install them. Our tilt turn windows are heavier than standard picture or hopper windows. This is because of the wide steel core frame. This makes them heavier, but the added structural strength makes them worth it tenfold. However, with an additional helper, it will not be so difficult. Plus, because of the high quality, your windows will not need to be replaced. So, this leaves you with just one install to do, after it, you can enjoy for windows for decades to come.\nTilt and Turn Windows Repair\nOur tilt turn windows are easy to repair. The glass unit replacement can all be done within 5 minutes and the hinges and rubber seals can be replaced under 12 minutes with just a Philips head and flat heard screwdriver.\nRepair is very easy to do with these types of windows. Our tilt turn windows are assembled in such a way that allows for easy and fast repair with minimal tools and experience. They have no complicated slide-rotation hinges. Their inswing functionality is another huge advantage because it allows for safe repair procedures as it does not put the window and people under the window at risk. This would other wise be a problem with outswing windows if they are used on the second floor or above.\nThe inswing operation also allows for a more convenient work environment as you are not left sticking your body through the window trying to reach the screws and support the sash. We also designed our tilt turn window sashes to be capable of easily being taken out of the frame and placed on the floor or table. This allows for an easier operation on the workspace without having your tools hang out of the window. This all makes for an easy way to fix your windows if need be.\nWe Ship Nation Wide to all of USA and Canada\nFor the US, we deliver to all major cites and states.\nIn the West-coast:\n- California (Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.)\n- Oregon (Portland, and more)\n- Washington (Seattle, and more)\nIn the East-coast:\n- New York (NYC, Brooklyn, long island, etc.)\n- Virginia (Bremerton, and more)\nIn the middle east:\n- Illinois (Chicago, and more)\n- Georgia (Atlanta, and more)\n- Colorado (Denver, and more)\nThe only states that we do not ship to in the US are except Florida, Hawaii, and Alaska.\nFor Canada we deliver to all major cities and some more rural districts as well.\n- And more\nIn British Columbia:\n- And more\n- And more\nIn addition to all of these, we can also deliver to cites in Montreal Quebec, and Atlantic provinces like Nova Scotia.\nThe lead time will range from 6-7 weeks, with a quantity minimum baseline.

This innovative system plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of our energy grid while complementing other renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Let’s dive into the world of pumped storage hydropower and discover how it works, why it’s crucial, and the benefits it brings.\nThe Mechanics Behind Pumped Storage Hydropower\nAt its core, pumped storage hydropower operates on a simple concept. It utilizes two water reservoirs positioned at different elevations—a higher reservoir and a lower one. During periods of low electricity demand when surplus energy is available, this excess energy is employed to pump water from the lower reservoir up to the higher reservoir. Think of it as storing energy in the form of water at a higher place.\nWhen the demand for electricity surges, as it often does during peak hours, the stored water in the higher reservoir is released. As it flows downward, it passes through turbines, converting the gravitational potential energy of the falling water into electrical energy. This process effectively acts as a readily available power source when needed, making the energy supply more stable and reliable.\nAddressing Renewable Energy’s Challenge\nOne of the most significant challenges associated with renewable energy sources like solar and wind is their intermittency. The availability of solar energy depends on daylight hours and weather conditions, while wind power relies on, well, the wind. Pumped storage hydropower steps in as a solution to this issue. By serving as a massive energy reservoir, it behaves like a colossal battery. When excess energy is available, it stores it in the form of elevated water, and when there’s a surge in electricity demand, it can quickly release this stored energy into the grid, ensuring a steady and consistent power supply.\nEnvironmental and Economic Benefits\nThe advantages of pumped storage hydropower extend beyond its role in ensuring a stable energy supply. It is also environmentally friendly and economically advantageous. By maximizing the utilization of renewable energy sources and reducing our reliance on traditional-fuel power plants during peak demand, it significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the construction and maintenance of these facilities create jobs, supporting local economies.\nA Sustainable Future with Pumped Storage Hydropower\nAs we strive towards a future powered by clean energy, technologies like pumped storage hydropower are indispensable. They exemplify innovative solutions to the challenges we face with renewable energy sources. With its ability to store energy and stabilize the grid, pumped storage hydropower is a cornerstone of a sustainable, efficient, and reliable clean energy system.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This technology allows the drilling engineer to commence drilling operations just hours after finishing the last well without having to lay down pipe or dismantle any portion of the rig. The sound proofing eliminates noise and allows for around-the-clock drilling.\nThe actual drill site is comprised of three cellars that capture all fluids, including rainwater, that are subsequently processed, cleaned and injected into the reservoir. No fluids leave the site. Warren is abandoning all wells outside of the WTU to provide a better environment for the surrounding community. All wells within the WTU facility utilize space-saving electric submersible pumps. The wells are constantly monitored by a computerized SCADA system that maximizes run times and profitability. These technologies have set the standard in California, which other companies are trying to emulate.\nWarren combines multiple technologies that enables the drilling of highly targeted wells with a minimal surface footprint. These wells are drilled in the Tar, Ranger, Upper Terminal and Ford formations.\nWarren’s operations team has more than 150 years of combined experience. The team has been able to implement many technologies that are now benefitting Warren and its shareholders.

Indeed, a decent self steering system can be as useful as two crewmembers – they don’t need to sleep, nor take meal breaks.\nBefore buying any type of self steering it’s important to analyse exactly what level of performance you need from the unit – this is a crucial first step in narrowing the many different options and levels of specification. Will the system be mostly to take over briefly while you’re doing other such as making a cup of tea, or to take the boredom out of motoring in a calm? Alternatively, is it to take over when the going gets tough and there are no volunteers to helm, or to steer the boat for long distances on extended passages?\nIf the answer to either of the first pair of questions is “yes”, an entry-level model may suffice. However, if the answer to either of the second pair of questions – indicating more serious use – is affirmative, this points strongly to a quality model – either windvane or electric – that will be capable of steering the boat for long periods of time in challenging conditions.\nWindvane vs electric\nThere was a time at which any long-distance voyaging boat would sport a windvane self steering gear on the transom. They tend to be robust, often requiring servicing only after tens of thousands of miles, require no electrical input, and can often be easily fixed using locally sourced parts and labour even in remote parts of the world. These remain undeniable advantages in today's world, and many seasoned skippers swear by their wind vane gear for good reason.\nOn the downside, the upfront cost can be relatively expensive, and windvanes tend not to be effective sailing downwind in light airs, when the apparent wind is low, and are useless for motoring in a calm, when the apparent wind is always from ahead, irrespective of your course. For this reason many yachts with a robust windvane system will also carry an electric pilot, although this does not need to be of a high specification, as it will only be used in easy conditions.\nThe best electrical systems are now equally capable of steering a boat across an ocean, although carrying spares of key elements of the system is a sensible precaution. On the downside, they can also consume significant amounts of power, making it more of a challenge to keep batteries topped up on a long passage. This can be particularly true for lower specification units that struggle to keep the boat on course, thereby using more power than a system that will steer a better line. Quality electric systems also tend to be preferred by owners of modern lightweight yachts that are designed to sail downwind at planing speeds in strong winds.\nTypes of windvane\nAfter first being developed in the post-war years by the likes of Bernard Moitessier, Blondie Haslar and others, windvane design now favours servo pendulum types, which magnify the power produced by the small vane on top of the unit.\nA number of companies have with their own designs based on this theme, most of which work on similar principles but offer advantages in terms of size, price or track record. One that stands out from the rest is the Wind Pilot. As an Albin Vega Owner, The Wind Pilot Light is a great choice and in fact operated on countless Vegas as a replacement to the now out of production Navik system.\nHere is a video of the new installation of the Pacific Light on the Golden Hind IV:\nThe Navik System has been considered for decades to be the answer to windvanes on the Vega. This Windvane has been said to be built as the perfect companion for the Vega. Unfortunately the Navik windvane was bought by plastimo and then put out of production.... Good news on the horizon though as a new windvane system has been developed very similar to the Navik which will be available to the sailing community in the next year or so!\nAnother windvane which is a fairly young design is the MeVee system. Here is a picture of the MrVee on the Golden Hind IV. This system would work well on some boats but not the Vega. In fact it never really worked right and subsequently has been removed for sale at the next marine swap meet! The main issue was the drive quadrant was way to small and its light construction. It just never worked right and the final straw was when the pendulum paddle slid right off the pendulum shaft in calm seas! What if this had happened offshore?\nBeware, Cheaper is not better on a critical part of your sailboat's steering capabilities.\n|Golden Hind Tacking Off Cheen Charlotte Strait 27 Knt Nor'easter|\nThe simplest electric pilots are the basic all-in-one tiller pilots that just require a 12V power feed, and equivalent basic wheel pilots. If of an adequate size, these can work adequately on smallish boats.\nHowever, the basic unit’s lack of a rate sensing or gyro compass mean that they are not able to respond as quickly and will struggle to keep a boat on course, especially in a quartering sea. In addition, the on deck units are vulnerable to failure as a result of water ingress.\nIf you’re undertaking serious sailing and opting for an electric pilot, the best you can afford becomes essential. This means a below-deck unit, with a gyro or rate-sensing compass and separate pilot computer. The compass is important here – a lesser model simply won’t provide data to the unit sufficiently quickly. This may well be fine in easy conditions, when the pilot is a useful convenience, but may not work in the kind of heavy weather in which a small crew is likely to depend on the pilot. A further step up will give you a system that also includes a heel angle sensor, which further improves the accuracy of steering.\nThe right size unit\nManufacturers of all types of self steering gear generally quote recommendations by boat size and length. However, it’s worth noting that many yachts, especially older craft, were built with thicker laminates than the designer originally specified and may well be significantly heavier than the figures quoted by the boat builder. In addition, even boats of a modest size tend to collect a significant weight of additional gear, supplies and crew weight that can easily add a further 20 per cent to the total weight of the boat that must be considered when the pilot is specified.\nBalancing the rig\nNo pilot, whether a windvane for electric model, will work efficiently if the sail plan is not well balanced - paying careful attention to sail trim and shortening sail in good time as the wind increases is crucial to the ease of steering the boat and therefore the performance of all self-steering systems.\nElectric pilots allow you to tweak the settings so that the unit will both maintain a reasonable course to windward and tack efficiently across a wide range of conditions and long-distance short-handed racers even talk of trimming their pilot settings in a similar manner to trimming sails in order to get as close to 100 per cent performance as possible. An electric pilot will be only as good as its inputs, so accurate calibration of the instrument system, including compass, masthead wind angle, and boatspeed is also important.\nIf you are interested in building a windvane steering system, here is a good starting point for ideas.:", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

However, when the ventilation is not enough due to natural ventilation, it should be cleaned by mechanical ventilation or air purifier. This process requires building energy. Therefore, it is possible to save the energy of the building by merely increasing the natural ventilation efficiency. This study conducted airflow analysis simulations to investigate the effects of changes in the shape of ventilation openings and louvers on the ventilation efficiency of a window ventilation system. The streamlined window opening exhibited a greater increase in airflow (41.3%) than did the conventional window (24.3%) for the ventilation model with four openings. It was also observed that flow separation and wakes were generated by the adverse pressure gradient arising from the increased airflow speed when a louver was employed. Based on these results, it can be concluded that using a louver as a wind augmentation device is an obstacle to improving the airflow in a window ventilation system.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Users are never asked to select a cabinet or a technology type. Instead, the system presents the best range of possible options based on an interview-based questionnaire derived from years of installation and application experiences.\nMicroLED is not constrained to a few diagonal sizes and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The limitless range of sizes and unlimited possibilities can be intimidating to both new and veteran installers. Just Video Walls’ groundbreaking approach solves these problems with a simplified input that can fit a space or design to a size or aspect ratio parameter. The result is a seamless presentation of the optimal options with the correct technology and cabinet type for the project – no math or calculations required whatsoever.\n“Our new MicroLED design tool simplifies the entire process, putting the power of precision at the Integrator’s fingertips. No more complex cabinet selections or frustrating calculations – we’ve made it easy, efficient, and accessible,” said Skyler Meek, VP of Marketing at Just Video Walls.\nAt the end of the process, the integrator is supplied with instantaneous pricing including a “good, better, best” option to help scale the project up or down based on the customer’s needs or budget. Dealers can immediately download a professional PDF proposal with all the project parameters, wall details, and even processor specs for the job which they can use to help close the deal or keep track of their project. The days of waiting weeks for a quote to come back from a supplier are history!\n“We simply built the tool that we needed when we were integrating MicroLED, because there are so many options and nobody was there to help us,” said Ryan Lampel, CEO of Just Video Walls. “That’s been our philosophy at every turn in this company – we are the kind of partner that Integrators need, helping bring reliability and eliminating disruption. But at the same time, enabling success in this highly profitable category.”\nIn addition to speeding up and simplifying the quoting process, the tool also stores every project you create, and tracks orders as they move through production, QC, and shipping. This enables dealers to gain an instantaneous view into the status of their projects so they can in turn provide that transparency to their customers.\nJust Video Walls is currently accepting applications for their beta program, which is slated to last through the end of October (2023) before opening the tool to authorized dealer.\nTo apply for beta access and to get more information about the tool, you can visit Just Video Walls at https://justvideowalls.com/microled-design-tool-beta-application/", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Alas, neither Asimo—designed to navigate sedate offices—nor any other of Japan’s vaunted robots was up to the challenge of navigating Fukushima’s complex, debris-strewn interiors. The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had to turn to U.S. military-grade robots, such as iRobot’s 510 PackBot, to get its first glimpses inside the facility. Only in June 2011, 2 months later, did a modified Japanese rescue robot called Quince enter one of the ruined complex buildings.\n“When Fukushima occurred, I was astounded that Japan had no robots to help out in any significant way,” says Frederik Schodt near San Francisco, California, author of Inside the Robot Kingdom: Japan, Mechatronics, and the Coming Robotopia. “It practically brought me to tears.”\nFive years after the accident, however, robots are finally ready to enter the ruined reactors en masse. They are now expected to play an essential part in the daunting task of decontaminating and dismantling the reactors. Roboticists are making halting progress in developing machines for specific tasks, such as decontaminating and removing melted nuclear fuel masses, but they know that their creations need to be adaptable. “We must prepare for unforeseen situations beyond the scope of expectation and imagination,” says Satoshi Tadokoro, a roboticist at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, who led development of Quince.\nThe struggles of Japanese roboticists came despite a national program in the 1980s to develop robotics for nuclear power plants. One of the first was AMOOTY, which Toshiba and University of Tokyo researchers built in 1985. The radiation-hardened crawler could climb stairs and manipulate objects in mock power plants. But in 1999, when an accident at a uranium reprocessing facility in Tokaimura killed two workers and contaminated the plant, AMOOTY was still considered too experimental to use.\nWe must prepare for unforeseen situations beyond the scope of expectation and imagination.\nIn the years after Tokaimura, Japan developed other nuclear disaster robots and imported Menhir, a large mobile unit built by France’s Cybernetix that’s equipped with radiation shielding, cameras, and a manipulator. But well before the Fukushima disaster, TEPCO and other industry testers judged them to be too big, slow, and ineffective. Government funding ran out, and Menhir is now on display at Tohoku University. The other machines were mothballed or cannibalized for parts, according to The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus; misplaced faith in the safety of nuclear plants and lack of long-term funding scuppered the program.\nAfter the catastrophe of 11 March 2011, the first task for robots was to survey damage, radiation, and variables such as temperature and humidity in areas that were too hazardous for workers. The PackBot droids explored the ground floors of the Unit 1 and Unit 3 reactor buildings, and found maximum radiation levels of tens of millisieverts (mSv) per hour. Workers exposed to such levels for less than a workday would exceed their emergency safety limit for an entire year, 250 mSv. The radiation and temperature maps made by the PackBots and two iRobot 710 Kobra bots allowed TEPCO workers to plot paths for quick forays into the reactor buildings with the least radiation exposures, says iRobot Vice President Tim Trainer in Bedford, Massachusetts.\nBut the complex structure of the reactor buildings’ ground and upper floors, with many staircases and thick concrete walls, challenged robot mobility and wireless communications. The iRobot bots couldn’t climb slippery stairs or turn corners easily. Once it was clear that more capable machines were needed, TEPCO and the government contacted roboticists at Chiba Institute of Technology and Tohoku University. They hastily modified Quince, a survey droid on caterpillar treads that climbs stairs and debris, by equipping it with two cameras, a dosimeter, and a power and communications cable that stretched hundreds of meters. Quince explored the upper floors of the Unit 2 reactor building. More sophisticated versions, dubbed Rosemary and Sakura, were also sent into the reactor buildings. Sakura acts as a communications relay, and Rosemary is equipped with a U.K.-developed system that combines radiation meters, a fisheye camera, and a laser rangefinder to produce 3D radiation maps.\nBy now, nearly a dozen robots have been developed to get closer looks at the heart of the plant. Some float or swim through pools that have formed in the building’s bowels because of the constant need to inject water to cool the damaged cores. Two snakelike robots crawled through a pipe leading into the 48-meter-tall primary containment vessel in the Unit 1 reactor to ascertain the state of melted fuel masses. Although one got stuck, the machines returned valuable video and dose information, according to TEPCO. In the dark and vaporous interior, the robots measured radiation in one area as high as 25 sieverts per hour—enough to kill a person in minutes.\nMakers are now developing robots that can tackle specific decommissioning chores. For example, Toshiba has developed machines that decontaminate surfaces with blasts of dry ice, inspect vent pipes for leaks, and cut and remove debris covering fuel rod assemblies in the Unit 3 building, which was damaged by a hydrogen explosion. Honda developed a robot based on Asimo’s joint-stabilization technology that can extend 7 meters vertically to inspect upper nooks. “Every robot needed differs according to its purpose and the damage,” says Tomohisa Ito, a spokesperson for the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning in Tokyo, a consortium of nuclear plant companies that aims to develop new technologies for cleaning up the Fukushima plant.\nRobots’ slow start at Fukushima holds a broader lesson, says Gill Pratt in Boston, an engineer who led the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Robotics Challenge from 2012 to 2015 before joining Toyota to head its new artificial intelligence lab. Roboticists, he says, need to develop emergency robotic equipment that can be deployed immediately without the need for additional training or adaptation. “The great lesson of Fukushima,” Pratt says, “is that disasters are often fast moving and difficult to predict events, where the window of time for effective intervention is small.” In the immediate aftermath of a future nuclear accident, robots, and their masters, will have to be far nimbler. But at least at Fukushima, they are evolving.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The airflow which is allowed from the room to the outside also helps to keep fires burning.\nThe two types of ducting we will look at here are the spiral duct and the rectangular duct. Each has its own specialist applications within construction projects.\nSpiral, or round, ducts are generally crafted from galvanised steel, and sometimes aluminium. As well as being made from sheet metal, these ducts can sometimes be made from flexible plastic and wire, or fibreglass board.\nThis type of ducting can be constructed to be any length, with a standard length of 20 feet common. The reason for this is the fact that it will fit in a standard delivery truck. Spiral ducting can be joined using flange-to-flange connecting methods, or slip joints. The method chosen will depend on the performance required. For more information on spiral ducts, click here: https://www.dustspares.co.uk/ductwork-parts/galvanised-ducting/galvanised-steel-spiral-duct.html.\nA rectangular duct is constructed from around a third more steel than spiral ductwork of a similar size. This is likely to mean that they cost more in terms of insulation, support and labour. As with spiral ducting, rectangular ducting can be constructed with sheet metal or fibreglass board.\nMany suggest that the additional expense is justified due to the fact that rectangular ducting is able to be adapted to any building height necessary. The way the ducting is constructed means it can be nested when it is transported, allowing more to be shipped in a truck. The flat surfaces of rectangular ducts make tapping branches into a trunk and branch design easy to achieve.\nRound ducting, generally speaking, is more rigid than its rectangular counterpart, and transfers less noise throughout the system. On the other hand, rectangular ducts tend to have fewer leaks due to the lack of seams and longitudinal joints.\nNo matter the building, an HVAC system will require ducting of some description. Round and rectangular ductwork both have their own pros and cons, which will have to be weighed up.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

As this will be a huge market in the future, also a large number of start-ups and other companies are working hard to gain some market share in this economy. Among those, I have identified a hidden pioneer – AIWAYS – and I was able to meet with one of its fellows.\nCatherine has a smile on her face when she talks about the company that she works for. Her company is well positioned to become a big player in the market of future energy vehicles in China – and the Chinese car market is already today the most important growth market in the world. AIWAYS has many things in common with Byton, which is another pioneer in the same industry, however, there are clear differences between both. While Byton focuses on the premium sector of the electric cars market and is already relatively well known and respected by experts outside China, AIWAYS is yet hardly known outside the Kingdom of the Middle, though employing about a thousand of employees around the globe.\nStrong similarities between Byton and AIWAYS\nYet, there are quite some similarities between the two: Byton’s CEO, Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, came from BMW, AIWAYS chief of products, Roland Gumpert, worked more than 35 years at Audi. Both have parts of their R&D in the Silicon Valley and in China and produce in China and Germany. Both have launched their first model in 2018 and have planned their next one for 2019. The fact that both companies’ strategy is to stay 100% in-house – from R&D to Production, Marketing, and Sales, undermines also that they have aimed to pioneer the future car industry.\nThe AIWAYS Way\nIn April 2018, AIWAYS launched its first model to the market. The sports car “RG Natalie”, where “RG” stands for Roland Gumpert, uses hydrogen engine, has a top speed of 300 km/h, and reaches a speed of 100 km/h in as little as 2.5 seconds. However, economically driven, its range can be up to amazing 1,200 km.\n2019 will be a very important year for AIWAYS. In 2019, the first fully electric car, an SUV called “U5 Ion” that was presented in April this year the first time, will be launched, priced at approximately 30,000€. The basic range will be over 400 km, but there will be an additional feature ready for use: Car owners can plug-in or use a trailer with an additional battery that enables the car to drive an additional distance of 120 km. This is quite exciting as such a feature could enable new revenue streams such as renting batteries at gas stations, which also take back the empty ones or it could make it easier to deploy more powerful batteries as soon as they are developed.\nAs of today, AIWAYS’s Website is only available in Chinese, with a few English buzzwords, and hard to find outside China: An open search for “AIWAYS on Baidu gives you a lot of company links and news, an open Google search provides you information about British Airways and nothing about cars… However, a future expansion into foreign markets will likely start soon: The RG Natalie can already be ordered from abroad and the company is also participating in the first foreign marketing events, such as one of the September 2018 Nuremburg Racing Events.\nTargeting an annual production of more than 150,000 cars, AIWAYS will soon be an established company on the global future energy automobiles market. However, there are quite some more companies in the Chinese new energy vehicle market and this article analyzes them!", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Many of those household chores were boringly repetitive, time-consuming, and/or required a surprising amount of strength and stamina. Just ask yourself: when was the last time you hauled buckets of water to the laundry tub, churned out a couple pounds of butter, and dragged heavy carpets outside to the clothes lines to pound out the dust and dirt? (This last could be particularly nasty if a sudden shift in the wind blew the cloud of debris in your direction!)\nThank goodness for the creation of labor-saving devices and services like washing machines, supermarkets and vacuum cleaners.\nGroundwork for the modern vacuum was laid in the mid-19th century with the development of the first patented carpet sweepers and manually operated vacuum cleaners. One of the earliest of these was Ives W. McGaffey's hand-cranked vacuum patented in 1869. Marketed as the \"Whirlwind,\" only two specimens are known to have survived to this day.\nH Cecil Booth of England is credited with receiving the first patents, in 1901, for a motorized vacuum cleaner. Too large for single household use, his invention was a horse-drawn affair - powered first by an internal combustion engine and later an electric motor - which he offered as a cleaning service.\nThe first portable household electric \"suction sweeper\" did not appear until 1907, when James Murray Spangler, a Canton, Ohio janitor, was forced to invent a better cleaning machine to alleviate his asthmatic symptoms. Unable to produce and market the machine himself, he sold his patent to his cousin's husband, William H. Hoover, who managed to kick-start sales through savvy marketing of the now famous \"Model O.\"\nThe success of Hoover sparked competition with a number of other now-familiar companies including Bissell, Kirby, Royal, Eureka and Electrolux. However, vacuum cleaners remained luxury items until after World War II. By the 1950s, most middle-class households could afford to purchase one or more uprights or canisters, the two main types. And by the end of the 20th century, most units had become so affordable that they could be considered disposable, rather than repairable.\nPrimarily due to their size, vacuums are not as common among collectors as, say, transistor radios or alarm clocks, so prices are very dependent upon such factors as rarity, the degree to which the machine is in original condition, and whether or not it still works.\n\"Firsts\" and \"Unusuals\" like the Hoover Constellation are quite desirable. Introduced in 1954, the earliest Constellation (Model 82) was a spherical canister designed to sit in the middle of a room while its suction hose rotated around it. The vacuum was redesigned the following year when Constellation Model 84 featured Air-Ride, allowing the machine to float like a hovercraft.\nThe Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50 (1965-1967) is another vacuum that is trading at premium in the secondary markets. It came equipped with a two-speed motor and all the attachments necessary to enable it to be used as a canister or upright, hand portable, power polisher, suds-o-gun, and rug renovator. And taking advantage of the growing interest during the 1960s in air quality, the Sanitronic was equipped with a bag that allowed the operator to scrape out the collected dirt without coming into contact with it.\nWhile most used vacuums presently sell for up to $50, exceptionally fine examples (often with original packaging) of machines like the Constellation and Sanitronic have fetched up to $1000 at online auctions.\nCollectors are always on the lookout for related items like vintage ads, attachments, and original supplies such as disposable bags. There's even a market for some non-functioning machines if they can be cannibalized for replacement parts.\nInterested in learning more about this unusual collectible?

It's become my favorite of the Maggiolina models.\nSaturday, July 17, 2010\nFor me the obvious choice was a Maggiolina roof-top tent. Being tall, I elected to get the longer version in the medium width size. I have used Maggiolina’s before in various climatic conditions and, in my opinion, there is no tent that compares favorably. The design, simplicity of deployment and comfort combine to provide an unparallel sleeping quality in all weather conditions. The sleek low profile, I believe actually IMPROVES fuel consumption.\nI elected to mount the Maggiolina “backwards” with the larger part facing forward. The logic behind this was that fuel efficiency with regard to “wind” consists of two elements; the first element is the frontal area of the vehicle that must be pushed through the air, the second element is the drag [drag coefficient] created by the first element together with the shape or profile of the rear of the vehicle. Placing the Maggiolina backwards created a roof shape much like an aircraft wing that is designed to minimize drag [turbulence] when passing through the air. Thus without significantly increasing the frontal area, the goal was to significantly reduce the drag coefficient thereby improving fuel consumption\nI tested this theory and found that it actually worked. Prior to building the unit on the back, and with the old bed on the back I drove across country from Ohio to California and back. My average fuel consumption was 15 mpg traveling at about 70 mph.\nAfter I had installed my unit with the “backwards” Maggiolina I drove from Ohio to Arizona but this time towing a 2500 lb. Campa All Terrain Trailer and got the same fuel consumption [15 mpg average] at the same speed. This meant to me that the additional work required by the engine to pull a 2500 lb trailer was negligible but what was the reason?\nA few months later I drove out west again, this time without a trailer so was similar to the first occasion and thus I could really compare apples with apples. I averaged a little over 17 mpg at a similar average speed, a significant improvement of 13% in fuel consumption.\nI also took the opportunity to weigh my vehicle prior to each trip. On the first trip to California I weighed in at 6400 lbs. On my last trip I weighed in at 7600 lbs. as I was loaded for a two week expedition. The improvement of 13% in fuel consumption in spite of weighing 19% more is most significant. It appears my theory worked. One can actually decrease fuel consumption through minimizing ones drag coefficient by installing a Maggiolina backwards. I doubt any other tent can claim that.\nIn order to protect the Maggiolina, I built a robust frame from stainless steel square tubing such that the all the sides of the frame would protect the sides of the Maggiolina from damage. I incorporated multiple cross bars not only for added strength as a roll cage but also to offer better support for the Maggiolina. The frame was designed such that the bottom of the frame was at the same height as the top of the cab rear window thus not restricting my rear view.\nWith the incorporation of a cab roof rack that I had lowered, I had the height of my cab roof rack with the Pelican Case bolted to my roof rack a little higher than my Maggiolina. As such I would strike [and hopefully deflect] any objects with my Pelican Case and prevent damage to the top of my Maggiolina. My integrated roll bar on the vehicle also has the Maggiolina tucked in under it so should I remove my cab roof rack, I still have protection for my Maggiolina.\nThe other aspect I like about the Maggiolina is its hard shell case. I have had occasion to thoroughly wallop the top of my Maggiolina with no damage at all. I have also had branches scrape down the length of my Maggiolina and been surprised at how the hard shell fiberglass top deflects under the weight of the branch and then pops back to its original shape. Also being familiar with regular roof-top tents, I doubt a canvas cover would have remained intact with that abuse.\nI shortened the ladder so that I could stow it under the frame instead of inside the Maggiolina as is customary. Thus I don’t have to clean my ladder in order to prevent soiling my sleeping area and bedding. I also have more storage for soft being in my Maggiolina without the ladder in there. On the one side of the Maggiolina frame I incorporated an awning that I modified to the same length as the Maggiolina roof-rack.\nThe width of the medium Maggiolina is 57” and the vehicle width is 70”. As such I have 6 ½” clearance from the edge of my vehicle at an approximate height from the ground of 54” at the top of the wheel arch container, to my Maggiolina 24” higher up. In other words I have 6 ½” of clearance over 24” which translates to an angle of approximately 15°. This means if I clear my vehicle passing a tree, one even leaning in towards me a little [by up to 15°] I will clear my Maggiolina too.\nSaturday, April 24, 2010\nThis is our 'company car' - a 1996 Toyota Landcruiser with many modifications for overland travel.\nWednesday, March 17, 2010\nTuesday, March 16, 2010\nLong-time Maggiolina owner Bob Bancroft send us a photo of a water crossing in Alaska. Naturally, you should not (cannot?) try this at home...\nThe new Air Top is a significant advance in design – offering ease of opening, three doors, great interior space, and the durability that owners worldwide have come to expect from the Maggiolina series.\nThe Air Top has a lift system based on articulated gas rams that eliminates the scissors lift and crank of the standard Maggiolina. This enables easy, rapid set-up and provides 7” more interior space. Other benefits of this new design are; a rear entry door in addition to the two side doors, the huge window opening the front end of the tent, and a new shell design for extra strength. In short, the Air Top incorporates all the comfort and space of the traditional Maggiolina series with a simple, strong, and easy to operate opening system. To open simply remove the safety hooks and the tent opens instantaneously!\nThe new Air Top incorporates all the great features of the traditional Maggiolina series with even more comfort and space. To open, simply remove the latch straps and the tent opens instantaneously! Extreme Adventure with Extreme Comfort!\nStandard Air Top Equipment includes:\n● 3 doors - one each side and one in the rear of the tent\n● Generous front facing, screened window\n● Full mosquito netting and covers against wind or rain\n● Two or three foam pillows\n● 2 arched windows with mosquito netting for ventilation and reduction of condensation\n● arched zips on the windows with rain covers.\n● internal elastics straps to help folding of the fabric when closing the tent.\n● simple, adjustable Rally-Race style locking straps. (Arnitel EL 550®)\n● Spacious roof mounted stowage net.\n● 4 Removable Pockets.\n● Large internal roof mounted light\n● Height adjustable locking aluminium ladder.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This was the first production 20-36. Probably owing to the success of the Huber “Light Four” cross motor tractor the 20-36 was sometimes referred to in the Huber sales literature as the “New Light Four”. By my count Huber built 1054 copies of the 20-36 before it evolved into the model HS. I believe the last 20-36 built was tractor number 11,498 built in January of 1936.\nHuber used the Waukesha model DK engine in the 20-36. The bore was 4.75” and the stroke was 6.25” yielding 443 cubic inches of displacement. The DK was a side valve (flathead) design of engine. The cylinder blocks were cast in pairs and set on a common crankcase. Each jug had its own head. This allowed customers to replace the jugs & pistons during an overhaul. Back in the day this was thought to be an advantage to the owners who were located a long way from a reliable machine shop. Since the cylinder jugs were interchangeable front to rear on the crankcase the water pump had to be driven from a shaft originating in the timing cover and extending down the side of the engine. This shaft extended through the water pump and also drove the magneto. The DK was pressure lubricated by an internal oil pump. Many of the tractors were fitted with an external oil filter on the side of the motor.\nHuber sourced components from many vendors for the production run of the 20-36. Air cleaners were sourced from Pomona, Donaldson, and Vortox. Carburetors were sourced from Kingston, Zenith, and Stromberg. Magnetos were sourced from both Eisemann and Bosh. I believe the majority of the wheels were built by French & Hecht. The clutch used was built by Twin Disc Clutch Company of Racine, Wisconsin.\nMost of the 20-36s were equipped with steel wheels front and rear and a two-speed transmission. A few copies were built with inflatable rubber tires and these tractors were typically equipped with a three-speed transmission. Industrial hard rubber tires would have been an available option as well.\nHuber built a few of these tractors as kerosene burners. These tractors had a special manifold with a shroud and adjustable damper to control how much exhaust heat was used to aid in burning the kerosene. For the tractors that were equipped to burn straight gasoline the right-hand fender was never drilled for the starting tank brackets.\nThe 20-36 was set up in what became the typical style of a “modern” threshing tractor of the late twenties. The radiator was up front followed by a longitudinally mounted engine, an enclosed clutch in the bellhousing, a totally enclosed transmission followed by an enclosed final drive within the rear axle. The operator’s station was behind the rear axle on the back of the tractor. A pulley brake was provided to stop the transmission gears and pulley. The pulley brake acted directly on the surface of the belt pulley. A brake was also provided to keep the tractor in place or stop it from rolling. Individual turning brakes were not provided.\nThe first 20-36 built went to the Marion County Home Farm in Marion, Ohio. Many of the early 20-36s were exported to Canada. Benjamin Franklin Avery Company of Louisville, Kentucky, bought many of these tractors to sell as power units with sawmills they were selling. If the tractor and mill pulley sizes were appropriate for the diameter of the saw blade these tractors made ample torque for powering a sawmill.\nBy my count, B. F. Avery bought 348 of these tractors in 1930 & 1931. These sales no doubt helped Huber survive the depression.\nOf the 1054 20-36s built 22 were converted to the CHS Waukesha engine. The CHS engine was a single solid block that used a single head. The CHS had the same bore and stroke as the DK. It had removable cylinder sleeves and a water pump on the front of the engine. The CHS was an overhead valve design of engine. Overall, the CHS was a more modern design of engine and ultimately proved to be very successful and reliable. Ultimately with tractor number 10689 Huber replaced the DK engine with the CHS engine. Tractors powered by the CHS Waukesha engine became known as the model HS. 14 more 20-36s were built after they began using the CHS engine, but this probably just represents using up existing engine inventory at the Huber factory. Any student of the Huber line of gas tractors knows that Huber didn’t waste anything. They would even build a one-off tractor to make a sale.\nThe information in this article was largely compiled out of the original Huber records and Huber sales literature.\nBelow is a picture of the finest surviving example of a kerosene manifold that I have ever seen on a 20-36.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It’s all about taking energy released as heat from a range of energy sources and connecting to energy consumers through a system of highly insulated pipes.\nHeat networks can vary enormously in size, which means that cheaper, lower carbon sources of heat generation can be added over time without additional, later upheaval such as digging up roads, or making changes in people’s homes.\nDistrict heating vs community heating\nCommunity heating is about supplying heat to a relatively small development of one or perhaps two buildings with multiple dwellings, such as a multi storey block or sheltered housing complex.\nDistrict heating has wider objectives: distributing large-scale sources of heat over a large area and connecting multiple buildings in a heat network. Both community and district heating can be described as heat networks.\nHow community heating is different to a traditional heating system\nMost customers will hardly notice the difference between a home that’s heated with an individual gas boiler and one that’s heated by community heating. There are, however, some important differences:\n- You have immediately available, unlimited hot water supply.\n- You pay for the useful heat supply, rather than the amount of gas consumed.\n- There’s reduced maintenance for the individual heating system, as there is no boiler to safety check and maintain.\n- The HIU that takes the place of the boiler is smaller than a traditional wall-hung boiler, giving you more space.\n- There’s no hot water storage cylinder.\n- Homes use electricity for cooking, as there is no gas supply.\n- There’s only one heat supplier.\n- Heat networks work by distributing energy that is generated in a central location by a larger boiler to individual homes through a series of insulated pipes.\nSources of heat input\nThere have been changes in the type of technology. Applications were initially dominated by wood fuel-based systems but schemes based on heat pumps (ground, water, and air source) are on the rise, Various possible technologies could provide the input to a heat network including power stations, energy from waste (EfW) facilities, industrial processes, biomass and biogas fuelled boilers and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, gas-fired CHP units, fuel cells, heat pumps, geothermal sources, electric boilers and solar thermal arrays.\nApplications in practice\nThere is considerable support for the expansion of such heating networks. While just over 2% of UK homes are currently connected to a district heating network, more are expected to come online as the UK transitions to net zero over the coming decades. There are already over 17,000 heat networks in place in the UK, and nearly half a million connections to them, most of which are domestic customers. They are a particularly attractive option in dense urban areas and have been cited as a way of tackling fuel poverty while also reducing housing management costs.\nIn Scotland, the District Heating Loan Fund, funded by the Scottish Government, is working to support good quality schemes that reduce bills, reduce emissions and create jobs. In England and Wales, the UK Government launched a £320 million investment programme in 2018, as part of ambitious plans to extend district heating capacity, driven by local authorities. There is a target in place for 15-18% of heat to be generated from networks of this kind by 2050.\nThere is, though, a long way to go before the UK is anywhere near levels of uptake elsewhere in Europe. For example, the city of Copenhagen is almost entirely served by district heating, and around 65% of housing in Denmark as a whole, with not-for-profit organisations and consumer owned cooperatives heavily involved in supply. By way of comparison, there is just over 2% uptake of district heating in the UK at present with very few not-for-profit agencies delivering heat.\nRelevance for community groups\nFor community groups thinking that district heating might be for them, it’s important to consider that a certain degree of expertise is required to build out and manage schemes. It’s a big ongoing commitment, requiring responsibility for heating, metering and billing – to all intents and purposes becoming a small utility company.\nCommunity heating systems are more environmentally-friendly than individual boiler-powered heating systems\n- They’re efficient, reprocessing heat waste and delivering energy with minimal wastage\n- Can be deployed where the only alternative would be electrical heating\n- Individual billing via modern meters provides detailed information about energy usage\n- Community heating can cut costs to the housing management and to the consumer\n- Consumers can choose to pay as they go on a property-by-property basis\n- Long-term financial support program available for renewable heat\nIt’s clear, too, that there needs to be more advice for households looking to either connect to or disconnect from schemes.

Vehicle owners are often to blame for some of the worst pollutants in the environment. As part of a green living initiative, you should strongly consider the idea of focusing on vehicle maintenance.\nRegular maintenance checks…\nIf you own a vehicle it becomes your responsibility to control the emissions that are coming out of that vehicle. Regular maintenance checks on your vehicle can help to make sure that you can be helping the environment. If the check engine light comes on, for example, you need to immediately address the issue as you could be polluting far more than your vehicle normally would.\nMaintaining your vehicle means handling almost every simple maintenance task from changing your oil to cooler and radiator checks as well as regular inspections to make sure that your vehicle is working well as a whole. You may also want to regularly check your tire PSI often so that you can conserve fuel and prevent your vehicle from using excess gas. Regular checks on your oil filter, air filter, and more can also prevent your vehicle from using excess fuel.\nCan government regulation help?\nPart of vehicle maintenance is also beginning to fall under government regulation. There are many places around the world that are interested in making vehicles more eco-friendly by introducing mandated emissions testing as part of vehicle maintenance.\nIn certain states, drivers may need to regularly go into a service station to get an emissions rating from their vehicle in order to keep their registration. A vehicle owner may be required to spend a certain amount of money on upkeep and repairs so that they can pass their emissions test and keep their car on the roads.\nThese government regulations ensure that green living and car maintenance have become a requirement for motorists rather than just an idea for efficiency.\nThank you for taking some time to read this article.

In a new book, Driverless: Intelligent Cars and the Road Ahead (MIT Press), Lipson and his coauthor Melba Kurman assert that recent advances in software and robotics will accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles. We asked Lipson to explain the technology and where it will take us next.\nPeople have been talking about driverless cars for decades. Why is this a critical moment?\nEven back in the 1930s, the automotive companies — General Motors in particular — thought driverless cars were the future. They talked about building smart highways, which are roads that can communicate with vehicles. But the technology was in the infrastructure, which made it impossible to implement. It was just too expensive per mile.\nThe more recent approach is focused on autonomous robotics. It puts the smarts and technology in the car. An intelligent machine has to deal with the same infrastructure and driving challenges as humans — lane markings, traffic lights, poor weather. It needs to see as humans see.\nIn the past few years there’s been an explosion in artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular “deep learning.” For driverless cars, deep learning trains the vehicle to drive by feeding it huge amounts of visual data gathered by camera during trips. That’s provided that last piece of the puzzle, which is artificial perception, or basically the ability for the car to see. There’s been this magical pivot. Even though people have been hyping driverless cars for decades, this is different. This time it’s real.\nWhy is deep learning so pivotal?\nThe challenge in making a fully autonomous driverless car is that we have to think about three levels of control.\nOn one level, the car has to stay in a straight line and take a turn at exactly the right angle. That’s hard, but it’s been solved by mechanical engineers. On another level, it has to get from New York to DC. That’s also been solved. We use navigation systems on our phones all the time.\nWhat hasn’t been solved, and what has always been a challenge, is what we call “midlevel” controls. It’s not just about going in a straight line, and it’s not about calculating the optimal route. It’s about going around obstacles, stopping at a stoplight, negotiating an intersection, merging into traffic, hitting the brakes because a child is running after a ball, not hitting the brakes because there’s a shadow on the street. Everything else was solved decades ago. This was the part nobody knew how to do.\nHow has your own research contributed to deep learning?\nOur work focuses mostly on the question of how an AI network learns and how we can transfer learning from one network to another.\nThat’s one of the great advantages of driverless cars. No human driver can have more than one lifetime of driving experience. A car that is part of an AI network can, within a year, have a thousand lifetimes of experience, because it can get information from all the scenes and situations that every other car has experienced. It’s another reason why these cars will drive better than any human has ever driven. They will have experienced every possible situation.\nSo when will we start to see these autonomous vehicles on our roads?\nIt’s impossible to pinpoint a year, but we can pinpoint a range. About ten years from now it will begin, and forty years from now it will end, meaning that by 2065 all cars will be autonomous. That’s kind of the range.\nIt also won’t be uniform, in the sense that it will start in certain places but not others. New York might determine that all cars in Manhattan should be autonomous. The technology could be adopted in vacation resorts or in some brave city like Detroit that is willing to pioneer the technology. It could start in trucks but not private cars. That’s why you can’t pinpoint beyond a range. We know it will start in spots and gradually spread.\nTech companies and car companies are taking very different approaches to this driverless world. You describe the divide as “software versus automotive.”\nTech companies are looking at this as a software or AI play. The platform is a commodity, like a cell-phone body. You can get the car body from anywhere. The motors, the engine — they’re off-the-shelf. But the real smarts is in the software. This is how the software companies are approaching the driverless car. They see it as software on wheels.\nThe automotive companies, on the other hand, think of it as a car with extra software. The technical term is “driver assist.” Cruise control was a very primitive driver assist; then we developed automatic brake systems and automatic lane keeping. Car companies see this as an evolution of driver assist, where the driver remains behind the wheel, ready to take over in an emergency. Only in the final stage of the technology’s evolution will the car become fully autonomous.\nThe software camp imagines having no human driver right from the get-go. They’re coming at the problem with a completely different attitude.\nYou argue that the driver-assist approach is not just worse but actually dangerous. Why is that?\nThis idea that an intelligent machine should hand off to a human driver in an emergency is very problematic. There are examples of recent plane crashes where the machine handed the controls to the pilots, but the pilots weren’t ready. There’s another case where pilots tried to land a plane themselves, but they were out of practice and they crashed.\nThe recent fatal Tesla crash demonstrates the risk of the driver-assist approach. A system that is “almost fully autonomous” is dangerously deceptive. And the more you’re automated, the more severe the problem is. If you drive for an hour, it’s hard enough to remain focused. If you’re not driving, how can you stay focused enough to take over? It’s dangerous and unreliable.\nYou say the technology for driverless cars is here, but elements like regulation and insurance liability are not even on the radar.\nThese things need to be sorted out. But they’re not technological problems. These are quantifiable safety and liability issues.\nThe government needs to determine the minimum level of safety that an autonomous car needs to exhibit before it can drive freely. We think that level is four hundred thousand miles between collisions. That’s twice as good as a human, on average. But I really don’t understand why this is taking so long. I think this is a fairly simple proposition, and meanwhile people are dying.\nJust how big are the safety benefits of driverless cars?\nDo you know how many people in the world die every week because of cars? Twenty-eight thousand. That’s a Hiroshima-scale disaster every month. For people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-nine, automobile accidents are the number-one killer. And yet we don’t talk about it. We accept it. We can have silly debates about the ethical dilemmas of driverless cars, which discuss who the car should save in the event that it can’t avoid a fatal crash. But for every week we delay, another twenty-eight thousand people die.\nCan we assume that driverless cars will improve the environment?\nWhen Melba and I began researching the book, we naively thought that autonomous vehicles would be a win for the environment. But it’s not clear. Driverless cars are more convenient, so miles driven will go up. That’s not a good thing.\nBut then you have to look at other factors, like the fact that driving will be more efficient. There will be more consistent speeds, less start and stop, less parking and idling and traffic jams. These things will amount to substantial improvements in performance. Also, the vehicles can be smaller and lighter, so even though we may see that increase in miles, the vehicles will be more efficient.\nThe economic impact of driverless cars is going to be huge, for better and for worse.\nYes, a lot of people will lose their jobs, and not just truck drivers and taxi drivers. Dozens more professions will be transformed. The body shop, where people fix cars after collisions — that’s going away. And how many healthcare hours are devoted to car accidents? A huge number. How much income do parking tickets generate for cities? It’s not negligible. There’s this cascade effect.\nBut then we’ll see some opportunities. There will be a huge ripple effect on new e-commerce models and business models, creating new jobs. More miles driven means more cars sold, regardless of the ownership model, and more cars mean more car maintenance.\nYou end the book by comparing the rise of driverless technology to a new stage of human evolution. Will it really be that significant?\nSome evolutionary biologists believe that vision was an accelerating force of evolution and natural selection. The “light-switch theory” suggests that once changes in the atmosphere allowed more light to reach the earth, and we developed light-sensitive eyes in response, the ability to see enabled a lot of other new technologies, including camouflage, running quickly, and predation. Once you can see, you have to create a model of your world, and you need a bigger brain. It all unfolds from there.\nThat’s exactly the case with deep learning. The ability to see and perceive is not just another item on the laundry list of things you need to make a robot. It is the pivotal piece that sparks everything. This is why it was an inflection point in biology, and I believe it’s going to be the inflection point in autonomous vehicles and robotics.\nWe’ve been dreaming about this moment for decades, centuries, millennia perhaps. Finally it has arrived.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The MOREnergy Lab (http://www.morenergylab.polito.it/) and W4E (https://www.waveforenergy.com/) team have a keen interest in sustainability and are endowed with long experience in the blue energy field. In particular, through oceanographic, mechanical, and economic analyses, several innovative devices able to obtain energy from the wave and offshore wind have been successfully developed. The pilot version of one of these devices, called ISWEC (Inertial Sea Wave Energy Converter), was deployed for the first time off the North coast of Pantelleria in 2015 and has been continuously operating near Ravenna in the Adriatic Sea since 2019. Another device, called WEPA (Water & energy Point Absorber) is going to be installed near Porto Conte, in Sardinia. The achievement of these goals has been possible thanks to the team’s twenty years of experience and to the collaboration with ENI and FINCANTIERI. The team also has an interest in all aspects of sustainability and can provide support in implementing decarbonization strategies. Indeed, the MOREnergy Lab has contributed to the drafting of the transition agenda for the island of Pantelleria and is currently providing a similar support to the islands of Carloforte and Favignana. Finally, the team believes that community involvement is crucial and plays a key role in the future roadmap for reducing environmental impact. Therefore, the MOREnergy Lab has begun an outreach campaign to spread awareness of environmental and energy issues in all their aspects.\nDuring several projects, the team had the possibility to analyze several possibilities in order to improve the energy supply among various sectors. Since our main topic is offshore renewable energies, several solutions have been investigated in order to be integrated into the aquaculture sector. One of the major problems that modern aquaculture is facing worldwide, is the increased production cost which is directly linked to the increased operational and maintenance cost of the hatchery stations. A marine fish hatchery station is a very intensive production system and exhibits high energy demand. Our goal is to supply the energy demand in-situ through the exploitation of different renewable energy sources, thus mitigating the intermittence of the single source of energy. The team proposes to analyze the availability of renewable energy sources with modeling techniques and an on-field measurement instrument (weather station, floating or fixed mast, etc.).\nBased on these activities, it is important to elaborate preliminary techno-economic feasibility analysis that takes into consideration renewable energy systems plants and storage plants.\nIn parallel, it is important to involve in an open discussion all the main stakeholders, like local administration, protected areas administration, touristic operators, economic operators, citizens, and soo on, to have a comprehensive understanding of the context in which blue energy projects are planned.\nThe objective is to define a strategic plan for:\n– Defining future energy scenarios\n– Design development and definition of the optimal Wave Energy Converters (WEC) device\n– Evaluating risks and vulnerabilities\n– Defining mitigation actions\nIn particular, the team has all the knowledge and skills necessary to go from preliminary design to installation, that is:\n– Seabed characteristics evaluation to choose the most suitable mooring type\n– Bathymetric trend analysis to identify the mostly flat area\n– Intervisibility analysis to assess the possible visual impact of the device\n– Wave and wind detailed assessment through numerical models able to reproduce the propagation of the waves and the wind\n– Wave and wind statistical analysis to identify the main project parameters\n– Choice of the most appropriate WEC and then optimization of the chosen device, to adapt its shape and its operation to the wave characteristics\nAt the same time, the aspect related to the choice of material is taken into consideration, in particular materials with the following characteristics are preferred:\n– Short supply chain\n– Low environmental impact\n– Possibility of disassembly, reuse, and recycling\n– Resistance to aggressive materials\nTwo main ideas have been identified to be appropriate to address the challenge:\n– Pendulum Wave Energy Converter (PEWEC)\n– Solar photovoltaic and Oscillating Water Column (SPOWC)\nThe Pendulum Wave Energy Converter (PeWEC) is, according to usual classifications, an offshore, floating, single-body, point-absorber, pendulum-based device. This device is composed of a sealed hull enclosing a pendulum and the power take-off (PTO) which begins its motion when the waves hit the hull.\nThe major characteristics of the PeWEC are:\nAdaptability: it has the ability to align itself concerning the dominant wave direction. This property can be achieved with a proper design of the hull and mooring line and constitutes a strong point of the PeWEC, as it allows to maximize the extracted power, especially when the installation site is characterized by a variable wave’s direction during the year. The latter depends on the PTO that acts as a spring-damper system\n– Reliability: The pendulum, the electrical generator, and all the other equipment necessary for the device’s functioning are enclosed in the hull and protected against the corrosive action of sea water, enhancing the durability of the device and lowering maintenance costs\n– Affordability: it is classified as a passive device since it does not need to be powered to produce an inertial effect\n– Sustainability: with no significant environmental impact (close to no visual obstacle and slack quiet moorings)\nTherefore, the PeWEC presents a great potential for providing clean and renewable energy to coastal areas, paving the roadmap to decarbonization\nConcerning the PeWEC device story, it is born in 2014 from the collaboration between ENEA (the Italian national agency for new technologies, energy, and sustainable economic development) and Politecnico di Torino, which was initially financed by the Italian Government through the grant Accordo di Programma ENEA-MiSE 2015. Currently, a 1:12 scaled prototype has been designed and widely tested at the INSEAN (National Institute for Studies and Experiences in Naval Architecture) wave basin, in both regular and irregular wave regimes, reaching TRL5. Moreover, the numerical model validation against the experimental results carried out at the INSEAN tank testing on the intermediate scale prototype allowed to creation of a design and optimization methodology, suitable for the development of a full-scale PeWEC device.\nSolar Photovoltaic and Oscillating Water Column (SPOWC) is conceived as a floater consisting of a deck with an equilateral triangular shape connected to three partly submerged cylinders. The large deck surface provides the space for PV panels and wind turbine installation, while the submerged cylinders are oscillating water column devices.\nThe oscillating water column devices are allocated in the three hollow cylinders that create an enclosed air chamber. In particular, when the air in the chamber is compressed by the rising level of the water, due to the waves, the swelling of the water forces the air through an air turbine, which rotates and generates electricity.\nWave energy is abundant, especially offshore, but a combination with other renewable energy sources has the advantage of capturing also wind energy as well as solar energy. In addition, the energy mix reduces the problems of renewable energy variability. The SPOWC solution is based on the integration of different existing technologies in a single device capable of operating independently.\nThe innovation of SPOWC lies in the coupling and optimization of the individual components to maximize productivity and reduce costs and impacts. In particular:\n– Adaptability: devices capable of converting energy from both sea, wind, and sun allows to acquire energy in a multitude of situations. In particular, such a device is able to adapt to external conditions by providing energy in the absence of waves but in the presence of wind and/or sun\nNegligible environmental impact: They present low environmental impact considering the careful selection of the materials and their possible recycling. Moreover, the mooring of the devices does not alter the seabed condition and fish activities.\nCost-sharing: the WEC, PV, and wind turbine are coupled in the same device, and this significantly reduces the investment amount required\nThe team’s expertise also concerns the optimization of devices. This activity is important since the optimal device shape can be defined according to the specific site of interest to obtain the maximum return. Therefore, the shape and properties of the device are optimized through advanced genetic algorithms based on evolutionary theory, achieving the best compromise between cost and performance. In particular, operating on the device sizes according to the most probable waves, it is possible to increase the extraction potential.\nA preliminary analysis of the wind and wave resources has already been performed, as shown in the following wind rose plot and wave occurrence scatter diagram, respectively, taking into account 6 years of data, from 2015 to 2020. The site characteristics will be used for the optimal design of the wave energy converter.\nOverall, each designed device has the following characteristics:\n– Low or near-zero environmental impact\n– Scalability, so that the power extracted can be varied as needed\n– Modularity, so it can progressively become an array according to the electrical demand\n– Versatility and adaptability according to different contexts and sea states\n– Easiness and practicality access to the mechanical part, to facilitate the maintenance phases\n– Safety towards ships, through appropriate radar and light signals\n– Power immediately provided to the grid, also including power conditioning directly onshore without bulk constraints\nThese direct benefits lead, moreover, to a series of indirect benefits, but very attractive:\n– Lower energy costs\n– Energy independence, especially for small islands\n– Strong media impact for the local community, gaining in terms of image and tourism promotion\n– Development and increase in employment, using local companies and workers\nMOREnergy Lab @Polito\nThe Marine Offshore Renewable Energy Lab (MORE) research center is based at Politecnico di Torino and represents the result of the experience gained by Politecnico in the marine energy field. The Team is highly multidisciplinary and enumerates more than 50 members between permanent and temporary researchers, PhD students and research fellows that constitute the propulsive core of the Centre. The MOREnergy Lab main activities focus on the developments of analysis methods, design, and test of marine energy powerplants technologies with activities focused on design, numerical modeling, control systems development, tests both in Tanks and in Open Sea.\nWave for Energy (W4E)\nW4E is a dynamic young spinoff company (from MOREnergy Lab), born upon several years of research and studies on mechanics and waves interactions. The company has completed the technology transfer of a wave energy converter, named ISWEC, moving from the laboratory of the Politecnico di Torino (TRL 3) to designing, constructing, installing, and operating two full-scale devices in the open sea (TRL 6) and up to licensing the technology to the global energy player, Eni Spa. The team includes 11 people of staff with expertise in mechanical, electrical, mooring and control design, project management, and offshore operations. On top of the technical know-how, W4E can bring to the table also market and technology transfer capabilities, as also demonstrated by a current collaboration with the European Space Agency, for the completion of a feasibility study of the application of space-based assets to the ocean energy industry, and with the public administration of the Parco Speciale di Porto Conte, for the development of an ad-hoc wave energy converter for desalination and electricity generation needs.\nThe two groups have collaborated since 2010 in several projects, both at local, regional, national, European, and international levels. The activities carried over at Pantelleria where the integrated team has developed a test site where the first ISWEC wave energy converter has been installed is a key example of the capability of the group in a relevant context for the activities hereby proposed.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Simulation of dynamic processes is carried out in power transmissions at the design stage. The procedure for using the digital packages such as MATLab – Simulink and Simscape was considered for the numerical simulation of dynamic processes in mechanical systems based on the example of the theoretical calculation of K-744 tractor transmission dynamics. A digital model of K-744 tractor transmission is constructed, its calculation scheme is given, the initial characteristics are determined. A digital model of the tractor engine was created by means of the Simulink package. A nature of change in tractor engine torqueis determined by it. The calculated analysis of normal transmission frequencies is performed. Forced torsional vibrations are calculated in the tractor change gearbox generated by the vehicle engine operation. The conditions of resonance in the transmission are analyzed. The unfavorable modes of joint operation of the engine and the gearbox are determined for K-744 tractor.\nThe present research work has been carried out with financial support from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in the frames of the federal targeted program “Research and Development in the Priority Areas for the Development of Science and Technology Sector of the Russian Federation for 2014-2020” pursuant to the project: “The Design Of The New Model Series Of Automated Boxes Change Gears For Agricultural And Road-Building Equipment In The Range Of 140-440 kW, Adapted For Use In Complex Systems Unmanned Tractor”(Unique Project Identifier RFMEFI57816X0213)\n© The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018\nThis is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

The troughs focus the sun's heat on an axial tube containing a heat transfer fluid (HTF). Once the fluid reaches a high temperature (up to 500°C for some fluids), it flows to a water system, where it releases its heat to produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine and generates power.\nParalic Coal Basin\nSedimentary basin that originated near the sea, often taking the form of large, elongated lagoons parallel to the coast.\nParts Per Million (ppm)\nDimensionless quantity representing 10-6 (1 to 1 million). This proportion can be used for both weight (mass) and volume. For example, 400 ppm (or more precisely, ppmv – parts per million by volume) of CO2 in the atmosphere means an average concentration of 0.4 milliliters of carbon dioxide per 1 liter of air.\nPassive Solar Architecture\nDesign intended to efficiently harness solar energy in buildings or homes. It focuses on shape, orientation, insulation, component quality and ventilation.\nUnit used to rate the performance of photovoltaic systems. It corresponds to output of 1 W of electrical power under standardized conditions (1,000 W/m² of solar insolation and temperature of 25°C).\nRefers to the ability of a rock to transmit fluids. It is a critical factor in production, because it determines the flow rate of oil and gas wells. Permeability is typically measured in darcys (D) or millidarcys (mD).\nPetrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the conversion of crude and natural gas into useful products or raw materials oil derivatives. It is applied in the manufacture of many everyday products.\nPetroleum Cut (Fraction)\nA product obtained through the fractional distillation of oil. Crude oil is heated to 370°C before transfer to a column where it separates naturally as the vapor gradually condenses as it rises. The heaviest components (bitumen and wax) collect first at the bottom, followed by heavy fuel oil, fuel oil, diesel, kerosene, naphtha and finally gas (LPG), each one higher up the column.\nParticle associated with electromagnetic radiation and the quantum of light. It is electrically neutral and has zero mass and very low energy (of around 2 eV).\nProcess used by plants to fuel their growth. Light energy from the Sun is utilized to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (sugars) and oxygen.\nPhotovoltaic Cell (Solar Cell)\nElectronic component that converts energy from sunlight into electricity.\nA photovoltaic solar collector converts sunlight (photons) into electricity via a specific photoelectric effect. The collector is made up of many thin layers of silicon, a semiconductor that, when impinged by photons, transfers the resulting energy to its electrons, generating electrical voltage.\nCreation of electric current when a semiconductor material is struck by light photons.\nPhotovoltaic Solar Energy\nEnergy produced by the photovoltaic effect.\nPipeline (Oil or Gas)\nPipeline used to transport crude oil, petroleum products or gas.\nAn instability phenomenon that occurs when seepage through a dam is not properly filtered and soil particles continue to progress, forming sink holes in the dam. This can result in a sudden, spectacular dam failure.\nPolyethylenes (PE) are the simplest synthetic polymers and the cheapest to produce. They are polymers of ethylene (see definition). Low-density polyethylenes (LDPE) are used to make plastic bags, garbage bags, food-grade plastic wrap and flexible containers. High-density polyethylenes (HDPE) are used in more rigid plastics of the kind found in bottles and other containers. Cross-linked polyethylenes (XLPE) are used to make cable insulation.\nPolyethylene Terephthalate (PET)\nPolyethylene terephthalate, PET for short, is a plastic used to make bottles, many food-grade plastic wrap and packaging solutions and transparent films for LCD screens and other optical devices. It also has medical applications, such as the manufacture of plastics for synthetic ligaments and prosthetic cardiac devices. PET is recyclable and is used to make textile fibers such as polar fleece. Chemically, PET is a polymer of terephthalic acid ester and ethylene glycol.\nProcess in which a large number of relatively small molecules known as monomers combine to form a single macromolecule called a polymer. The synthesis reaction requires specific temperature and pressure conditions and a catalyst. Synthetic monomers are often alkenes, a type of unsaturated hydrocarbon. There are also natural polymers such as cellulose (polysaccharides), collagen (alpha-polypeptides found in leather) and keratin (polypeptides found in dander and silk).\nPolypropylene is a semi-rigid, hard plastic material that is highly scratch-resistant. It is used to make automotive parts such as bumpers, dashboards and gas tanks. It is also used to make grease-proof food packaging, heavy-duty textiles used by building trade workers, disposable work wear, cord and rope, synthetic rugs and carpeting, and upholstery fabric. It is even used for banknotes in Israel, Mexico and Australia. Chemically, polypropylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic whose monomer is the CH2=CH-CH3 propylene (propene).\nPolystyrene is a plastic with a wide range of uses, the most common being expanded polystyrene, a compact white foam used to pack and cushion fragile objects from knocks and vibrations and for thermal insulation in buildings. However, it is also found in office equipment, CD cases, models, fresh food trays and disposable dishware. Chemically, polystyrene is a polymer of the styrene CH2=CH-[phenyl].\nPercentage of pore volume or void space within rock. In subsurface rock, this void space can contain fluids, usually water and sometimes oil or gas. Porosity varies significantly depending on rock type and depth, from zero for evaporates, found in salt crystals, and up to 50% for clays.\nThe potential hydrocarbon reserves that could be extracted from a deposit.\nEnergy contained in an object or physical system that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy. All objects on Earth possess gravitational potential energy, which causes them to move towards the center of the Earth until a fixed obstacle blocks this movement.\nIn physics, power is the amount of energy supplied by a system per unit time. In simpler terms, power can be viewed as energy output. Power is always work done using force or pressure, multiplied by speed or output. The watt (see definition) is the derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI).\nThe final phase in petroleum system formation, after a deposit has accumulated. Threats to preservation include bacteria capable of damaging crude oil in deposits near the surface, where temperatures are below 50°C.\nPressurized Water Reactor (PWR)\nType of nuclear reactor that uses pressurized water (which remains in a liquid state in the primary system) as both coolant and moderator. Water in the secondary system is vaporized in steam generators. The steam drives a turbine to generate power. Known as second-generation reactors, PWRs are the most widely used in the world.\nAll energy sources that have not undergone any conversion process and remain in their natural state. Examples include crude oil, natural gas and sunlight.\nA reactor in a nuclear power plant has three major systems: the primary, secondary and cooling water systems. The primary system, also called the reactor coolant system, transfers heat produced by the fission of uranium and plutonium atoms to the steam generator.\nThe commercial operation of an oil or gas deposit.\nProduction Sharing Contract (or Agreement)\nOil contract under which the oil that is produced is shared between the state and the oil company. The company is entitled to a predetermined percentage of any oil produced to recoup its exploration and production costs; this is known as cost oil. The remaining production, known as profit oil, is shared between the state and the oil company (roughly 82% and 18% respectively). The state sets the production rate. This type of contract is the subject of hard bargaining, particularly when costs are being negotiated.\nPropylene or propene is an alkene (olefin, see definition) with three carbon atoms and a formula of CH2=CH-CH3. It is the monomer of polypropylene plastics (see definition). Propylene is produced by three main processes: thermal cracking in oil refineries, propane dehydrogenation and as a byproduct of producing ethylene.\nA potential hydrocarbon deposit. Explorationists seek to locate prospects, determine their configuration and size, estimate the volumes of oil and gas that they could contain, and calculate the likelihood of encountering these volumes.\nA positively charged particle. Protons and neutrons form the nucleus of an atom.\nThermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures, carried out in an oxygen-free or low-oxygen environment to avoid oxidization or combustion. The temperature varies between 200 and 1,000°C, depending on the compound being processed (wood, coal, etc.). Generally it produces a liquid (oil), gas (syngas) and a carbon-rich solid residue. Also called thermolysis.\nPyrolysis is thermochemical decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis units produce gases and a solid residue known as pyrolysis coke. The gases — CO, H2, CH4 and others — are burned and generate heat, some of which is used for pyrolysis and the rest by manufacturers and municipalities. Coke can also be used as a fuel.

Therefore, when performing car interior repair, remember to also work on the dashboard. A properly functioning dashboard reminds you when it’s necessary to gas, how fast you are driving and also warns you when your car encounters a problem.\nThe benefits of repairing your dashboard are discussed below on the basis of its components. A dashboard is basically a combination of gauges, warning lights and other additional advanced features like a camera, GPS, music players, internet enabled devices and so on.\nGauges occupy a large space on your car’s dashboard meaning they have major functions to perform as far as your car is concerned. These gauges include: a fuel gauge, tachometer, speedometer, odometer and temperature gauge. Repairing gauges on your dashboard literally means restoring important functions. For instance, restoring a speedometer means you are in control of your car’s speed. On the other hand, a tachometer shows your car’s rpm of your car engine. It is perhaps one of the important components of your car that will notify you in case of a problem with your car’s engine.\nWhen performing interior car repair, also work on fuel gauge. This lets you get back in control of gas. Without this gauge on your dashboard, it will be almost impossible to tell when gas levels hit a minimum. Also, the life of your engine lies in the hands of your dashboard’s temperature gauge. Only the temperature gauge will warn you when your car engine overheats. The odometer shows the distance you have driven so far. It is dangerous to drive your car without proper functioning of any of these gauges.\nYour car dashboard has warning lights, so always keep an eye on them. Once you see any warning lights, it’s typically time to take your vehicle to a mechanic to help identify the problem that is causing the lights to illuminate. A simple or serious problem can cause them to illuminate. A simple problem could be a need to change oil while more serious issues could be related to your car engine. Any car dashboard typically has at least one warning light for the battery, coolant, brakes, fuel, air bag, door, seat belt, anti-lock brake system and the engine.\nChanges in technology are resulting in additional features to a car’s dashboard. Some cars now have advanced features like cameras for backups, jacks for mp3 devices, digital music players, internet access and GPS. Prevent damage to your car vinyl dashboard by ensuring its topcoat remains intact. The topcoat is important in sealing plasticizers that keep the dashboard flexible and supple without which your dashboard will crack and dry out. Lastly, the topcoat may wear away with each dashboard cleaning exercise unless you take special precautions. Do not wait until the light begin illuminating for you to perform interior car repair. Whenever you spot any problem, find a qualified mechanic to handle it immediately for proper functioning of dashboard and its components.\nAt ColorMate, we offer same day dashboard repair services, headlight restoration, rim repair, paint and bumper repair in Miami-Dade, Broward and West Palm Beach County regions.

The three plants plan to manufacture 330 000 cars in the current year, which constitutes growth compared to last year’s number.\nIn 2012, 1.92 million engines and 33,553 cars were manufactured at Audi Hungária in Győr. At the moment they assemble TT Coupé, Roadster, and A3 Cabriolet models; from the summer of 2013, production will start at a brand new manufacturing site that provides space for every production phase (pressing, bodywork, painting, vehicle assembly).\nCommunications Manager Péter Lőre informed us that the complex, which was built within a 900-million-euro investment project, will provide 2100 new jobs, thus the number of employees will amount to 8600. In parallel with the increase in the new plant’s production rate, the engine sector can expand at the place of the current vehicle assembly plant. Based on our information, 50 000 Audi cars will be manufactured in Győr this year, and 125 000 in 2014.\nAt the Kecskemét production site of Mercedes–Benz Manufacturing Hungary Kft., which was inaugurated last March, 40 000 B-Class cars were made in 2012, and the plan for the current year is 100 000 vehicles, 60 percent of which will already be CLA models. Communications Manager Edina Sztipichné Kozári shared with our reporter that the number of their staff exceeded 3000, and in the middle of the previous summer they switched from one-shift to two-shift production. As of this year, as many as 300 vehicles per day will roll off the assembly line at the Daimler plant in Hungary. The introduction of the new CLA model brought with it the creation of 500 new jobs for Kecskemét. In the case of B-Class cars, which have been produced since last March, they worked with 17 domestic component suppliers; with CLA, this number has increased to 25.\nDue to the decline of the European market and domestic demand, production speed in the Esztergom plant was slowed down for two months. At Magyar Suzuki, which boasts an annual capacity of 300 000 and actually produced 155 000 vehicles in 2012, the number of shifts was reduced from two to one in November, while the number of employees remained 3100. In January, they switched back to two shifts again, commented spokesperson Viktória Ruska.\nThanks partly to this year’s novelty, they can newly increase their production, although the output of 180 000 cars falls way behind the 282 000 pieces manufactured in the record year of 2008. According to our information, during the summer standstill in production, they will switch for the manufacturing of a completely new model. 200 million euros will be spent for this purpose in Esztergom where the Japanese Suzuki Motor Corporation has invested nearly one and a half billion euros into its only manufacturing base in Europe since 1991.\nDuring the past twenty years, 2.2 million cars have rolled off the assembly lines of Hungary with Subaru, FIAT, Opel, and Vauxhall badges on them. In Geneva in March, the wider public will already have the opportunity to take a good look at the Suzuki sports jeep that will be produced serially in Esztergom. Suzuki can cherish high hopes concerning this fashionable crossover, because it is the most dynamically expanding segment of the European market that has otherwise declined by 10 percent. (It increased by 34 percent.) The new model is all the more important because several subcontractor agreements will soon expire, which means that from next year, following Opel and Vauxhall Agila, FIAT Sedicik cars will not be manufactured in Esztergom, either.\nThe picture is slightly overshadowed by the downsizing of suppliers. At the time of the economic crisis, several motor vehicle industry companies reduced their number of staff; most jobs were lost in 2010, but there were layoffs last year as well. The management of Remy Automotive Hungary, which manufactures starter motors and generators, informed their 200 employees in July that their jobs would be terminated at the end of the year, the reason for this being the decline in European orders and the objective to reduce costs. As a consequence, following the decision of the parent company, they wound up production in Mezőkövesd and relocated manufacturing activities to China, South Korea and Mexico.\nCar-Inside Kft, which manufactures car seat upholstery and used to employ 800 people as recently as last summer, closed its plants in Jánosháza and Lenti and from now on maintains only 500 jobs in Körmend and Nagykanizsa.\n|HUF / EUR||309,3|\n|HUF / CHF||268,43|\n|HUF / USD||258,07|", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

I recently had the oppourtunity to visit the flagship Tesla showroom in Sydney. One word... WOW. Have heard and read about Tesla for a while, but to actually see the cars in person was amazing, a vision into the future of automobiles.\nHad a great time with my cousin Raj getting a full demonstration of the Model S P85. Check that interior, beautiful futuristic design. Unfortunately, no test drive this time :(\nWith the worlds reliance on fossil fuels as an energy resource and the issues surrounding global warming, we require steps towards sustainable energy solutions. So what is Tesla Motors about? Tesla is a startup automotive (and energy) company making all electric cars. Ok when you hear electric cars, you think boring... but no Tesla make very cool luxury electric cars! Elon's agenda: to save the world and make humans an interplanetary species.\nThe real iron man, Elon Musk, is touted to have founded Tesla Motors, however, I would like to clear this misconception.\nMay I have your attention please? Will the real Tesla founders please stand up, please stand up, please stand up (LOL): Tesla Motors was actually founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning back in 2003. \"The name was given to both pay homage to the inventor and electric motor pioneer Nikola Tesla and because it sounded cool.\"\nTesla needed a lead investor to put up the money required to produce its prototype electric vehicle. This is where Elon comes in, where he made a $6.5 million investment (from money he made after the sale of PayPal to Ebay) leading him to become the largest shareholder and chairman of the company. After years of issues regarding the company and production between Eberhard and Musk, Eberhard was replaced by an outside CEO in 2007. When this still didnt work out, Musk put up his fortune and took over as CEO.\nTesla automobiles have really come forward from the early days as an independent automaker. The ultimate aim being to produce electric cars at an affordable price for the everyday consumer. The first car produced was the Tesla Roadster (photo ->), followed by the current Model S and new Model X, and upcoming Model 3.\nFor one man to be such a visionary and build up a successful automotive (electric vehicle!) company in this day is incredible (while also running his two other companies SpaceX and SolarCity!).\nI think Elon is the greatest thinker and doer of our time. His knowledge and ability to combine engineering and business is next level. In the next 15 years, when solar becomes the main source of energy for the world, Tesla Motors will really shine with its automotive and energy solutions. Elon Musk will leave a legacy like no other.\nYou can take it as insight, or you can take it as Just BS.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

We are often asked what lubricant to use on garage doors. The best product is our garage door lubricant, available at all of our locations, or a general purpose penetrating oil. Do not use WD-40, as it is a Water Dispersant, and does not have the same lubrication properties as a garage door lube. Also, avoid using silicone sprays. Silicone is long-lasting and paint will not adhere to silicone, which might give you problems if you want to paint your garage door sometime in the future.\nLubrication is best done in small sprays, and with a rag to wipe off any excess spray. Excess lube will run down the door and hold dead bugs, which is not the look most people prefer on the inside of their garage door! Sparingly lubricate the hinges and roller stems; a short spray is all that is needed. If you have an exposed torsion spring, run a light stream of spray down the spring with the door in the closed position, then repeat with the door in the open position. Spray may bounce off the spring and stain your wall, so consider using a piece of cardboard to prevent overspray from staining your wall. If you have a Wayne-Dalton Torquemaster™ spring, it is oil coated and then placed in the tube, so no lubrication is needed. As a good reminder, lubricate your door every six months, at the same time you replace the batteries in your smoke detector and change your clocks!\nPlease check back in July, as we discuss checking the safety of your garage door operator.

(73779483) U.S.A\nAbrasion and Wear Resistance:\nConventional indentation hardness tests or Rockwell tests do not generally determine the relative wear resistance of REXALLOY®™ as compared with other materials such as tool steels. High carbon-high chrome tool steels commonly used for maximum resistance to abrasion or wear can be heat treated to about 64 Rockwell C (885 VPN). REXALLOY®™ , for non-cutting applications, has a hardness of about 54 Rockwell C (654 VPN). However, the hardness of the individual micro-constituents gives an entirely different picture:\nThe primary carbides in REXALLOY®™ are much harder than the large carbides in high carbon-high chrome tool steel, 1810 VPN as compared to 1390 VPN, although the matrix in REXALLOY®™ is softer, 488 VPN as compared to 840 VPN. Thus, the conventional Rockwell tests provide an average hardness which mask the effect of hard and soft constituents in a CAST heterogeneous alloy of this type. It is the large surface area of massive primary high-hardness carbides which produces the wear resistant quality of REXALLOY®™ .\nTABER Wear Test Results\nThe samples were tested to 10,000 cycles with a 1000 gram load – 500 grams on each wheel. The abrading wheel was H-1O calibrade, a wheel designed for alloys resistant to abrasion.\nAfter 10,000 cycles, results as follows:\n|REXALLOY®™ 33||Milligrams Lost||Wear Factor||Hardness|\n|4\" x 4\" x 1/8\" Sample||28.3||2.83||56|\nResistance to Scaling:\nREXALLOY®™ has considerable resistance to oxidation and scaling. During heating no visible oxide film is formed until the temperature exceeds 9001Ú4 F. Scaling tests indicate that REXALLOY®™ has a scale resistance comparable to Rezistal 310 at temperatures up to 20001Ú4 F.\nForming and Heat Treatment:\nREXALLOY®™ 33 cannot be formed in any way by hot or cold working and does not respond to heat treatment. Its high hardness is obtained in the AS-CAST condition, and is not appreciably affected by heating at temperatures up to 20001Ú4 F. However, heating REXALLOY®™ cutting tools at temperatures above 1600 F causes a gradual reduction in their cutting life over time.\nREXALLOY®™ is generally finished by grinding. Any soft wheel, not coarser than 46 or finer than 60 in Grade “X” or “J”, is suitable for machine-grinding REXALLOY®™ . Light feeds should be taken to avoid heat checking. REXALLOY®™ tools should not be quenched during grinding.\n|REXALLOY ®™ 33||(AIM)|\n|BALANCE CONFIDENTIAL (2.75%)|\nREQUEST A QUOTE\nThe lower-hardness type of REXALLOY®™ for non-cutting applications can be machined with tungsten carbide tools. All types of REXALLOY®™ castings are being successfully turned with several grades of carbide tools at a surface speed of 25-40 feet/minute, a feed of .003″/revolution and a cutting depth of .010/.020 inches without coolant. REXALLOY®™ can be drilled or reamed with masonry-type carbide drills using slow speeds fine feeds and a coolant.\nREXALLOY®™ is most satisfactorily joined to steel or other REXALLOY®™ parts by brazing. It is never recommended to attempt to weld REXALLOY®™ . Silver solder and a paste flux are recommended for brazing. The essentials of the process consist of grinding and cleaning the face, applying the flux, inserting the brazing strip between the faces binding the parts together with Nichrome wire, heating carefully to 13501Ú4F to 14501Ú4 F and applying pressure as the brazed solidifies on cooling.\n(Handy and Harman’s Handy Flux and Easy Flo #3 (carbide type) are recommended)\n- Standard Tool Bits\n- Wood Working Tools\n- Valve, Valve Seats\n- Balls Valves\n- Tipped Tools\n- Reamer Blades\n- Hot Extrusion Dies\n- Forming Tools\n- Plug Gages\n- Wear Liners\n- Wear Bushings\n- Seal Rings\n- Milling Cutter Blades\n- Cut-off Blades\n- Indicator Anvils\n- Roller Guides\n- Wire Guides\n- Extreme Service Gears\n- Wear Strips\n- Work Rests\n- High Pressure Pump Valves\n- Food Processing Valves\nTools for Cutting Applications 55 to 63 Rockwell C\nParts for Non-Cutting Applications 50 to 57 Rockwell C\n- 50,000-60,000 PSI\n- Average range provided is not guaranteed.\n- Material is not sought after for it’s tensile strength.\nElevated Temperature Hardness:\nREXALLOY ®™ has a high degree of red hardness. The comparison between REXALLOY ®™ and hardened Rex AA, 18-4-1, high speed steel is shown in the following tabulations:\nHardness at temperature — BHN\n18-4-1 High Speed\n|Temperature 1Ú4F||Rex AA||REXALLOY®™|\nComments: Converted to BHN from Impact Brinell at temperature. On cooling to room temperature, REXALLOY ®™ attains its original hardness.\n|Modulus of Elasticity — psi||35,300,000|\n|Specific Electrical Resistance Room Temperature — Michrohms/cu. in.||39.8|\n|Specific Heat BTU/lb./1Ú4F||0.093|\n|Thermal Conductivity (Room Temperature) Btu./hr./sq. ft./1Ú4F/ft||4.8|\n|Mean Coefficient of Thermal Expansion-linear Range|\n|85- 5001Ú4 F||6.37 x 10-(6) in./in./1Ú4F|\n|Magnetic Permeability at 200 Oersteds||1.004|\nGeneral Corrosion Resistance:\nThe next important property of REXALLOY®™ is its superior resistance to corrosion. In laboratory tests, standard REXALLOY®™ 33 was found to be resistant to the following:\n|REXALLOY®™||0.18 - 0.20|\n|XCR Valve Steel||4.30 - 4.40|\nOn the other hand, REXALLOY®™ is not satisfactorily resistant to 2% Hydrochloric Acid at 15001Ú4 F, nor to boiling 65% Nitric Acid.\nThus REXALLOY®™ successfully resists corrosion by moist atmosphere salt spray, the milder acids and certain of the stronger acids and alkalies. When the use of REXALLOY®™ in highly corrosive media other than those listed above is contemplated, specific inquiry is recommended, and testing should be done for your proposed application.\nLead Oxide Corrosion Resistance:\nREXALLOY®™ has excellent resistance to lead oxide corrosion as shown by the following comparison:\nLead Oxide Corrosion at 17001Ú4 F, Weight Loss — grams/sq. in./hr.\n|REXALLOY®™||0.18 - 0.20|\n|XCR Valve Steel||4.30 - 4.40|", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

January 29th 2019.\nAustralian tech start-up Emesent announced today at the International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF) in Denver-CO, the commercial availability of their revolutionary Hovermap™ drone payload, which dramatically improves the value of drone-based asset inspection and mapping.\nHovermap is a self-contained plug-and-play payload which is easily integrated into a range of drones to provide them with advanced capabilities.\nIt includes omni-directional LiDAR-based collision avoidance and GPS-denied flight, allowing drones to be flown safely underground, indoors or up close to structures to inspect and map them.\nHovermap also provides world-leading SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) capability, allowing accurate LiDAR mapping even when GPS is not available.\nSpeaking at ILMF, Emesent CEO and Co-Founder Dr Stefan Hrabar highlighted the unique value that Hovermap offers:\n“Hovermap is the first drone payload of its kind, using LiDAR to provide both mapping and autonomy functions. It allows drones to fly autonomously even in GPS-denied environments to collect valuable data that was not previously possible. This provides a step change in the data collection possibilities for Mining, Energy, Construction, Asset Management and many more”.\n“There is increasing demand for these industries to digitise and remotely inspect their assets but access to hazardous areas and the lack of GPS has been a limiting factor until now. Hovermap’s unique capabilities are helping to overcome these hurdles”, says Dr Hrabar.\nHovermap keeps the drone a safe distance from assets while mapping them in great detail. Bridges, telecom towers, power transmission towers and industrial plant interiors are just a few examples that can now be mapped and inspected safely.\nIn the underground mining industry, Hovermap allows the mapping of hazardous inaccessible areas such as stopes and ore passes.\nAccording to Dr Hrabar, “sending in a Hovermap-enabled drone to autonomously map and explore these areas keeps the surveyors safe and provides data at unprecedented resolution and quality. This data provides new valuable insights, leading to productivity gains and increased safety from better understanding of the geology”.\nThe commercial launch comes after more than five years of R&D by world-leading researchers in drone autonomy and SLAM-based LiDAR mapping, as well as extensive testing over the last 18 months by early adopters in the US, Canada, Australia, China and Japan.\nMatt MacKinnon of Canadian-based UAS Inc. explains: “We’ve been using Hovermap to fly into inaccessible areas of underground mines to map them. We’ve conducted more than 60 commercial flights in 12 mines, capturing extremely valuable data for our clients without putting humans at risk. Hovermap truly is a game-changer for underground mining and other GPS-denied environments”.\nMr Shinji Inaba, president of Mirukuru Co., said that “they are proud to have been an early adopter of Hovermap since April 2017 and they are now an Emesent distributor in Japan”.\n“We’ve been testing and demonstrating Hovermap extensively to enterprise customers in energy, construction, telecom, rail and road, forestry etc. Hovermap’s unique features have led to significant demand and we’re excited to be fulfilling our first purchase orders now that Hovermap is commercially available”, says Mr Inaba.\nFor a video showing the Hovermap mapping workflow and examples, see below.\n- Mining Magazine: Getting total cover with Hovermap.\n- CIO Australia: Data61 spin-out launches LIDAR-mapping autonomous drone payload product.\n- C-Drone Review: Australia’s Emesent launches Hovermap drone payload at International LiDAR Mapping Forum.\n- Mining International: Emesent Hovermap is first autonomous LiDAR mapping payload for mining drones.\n- sUAS News: Hovermap autonomous GPS denied LiDAR mapping.\n- Spar3D: Emesent releases Hovermap, a payload that turns your UAV into a powerful autonomous mapper (that doesn’t need GPS).\n- UAS weekly: Emesent Launches Hovermap, Autonomous LiDAR Mapping Payload For Drones.\nFor more information contact us or email Dr Stefan Hrabar, Emesent’s CEO on email@example.com\nClick here for a list of our distributors.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The heavy-duty plate chain assembly line is sometimes called the partition assembly line, and it is generally used as ground logistics transportation equipment. The heavy-duty plate chain assembly line is widely used in automobiles, motorcycles, home appliances (TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.), large electrical appliances, electromechanical industries and other industries. The heavy-duty plate chain assembly line can usually be combined with the suspension assembly line, the drum assembly line, the hoist, etc. to form a three-dimensional automatic production line, and make full use of their respective advantages to achieve the effect of improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring product quality. It is the automation of modern large-scale enterprises. The combined form of production. Heavy-duty plate chain assembly line conveyor chain plates are made of stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum alloy. The frame material is usually carbon steel.\nWorking principle of plate chain line, plate chain assembly line, plate chain conveyor line:\nThe machine is mainly composed of a head wheel, a tail wheel, a conveyor chain, a casing and a driving device. Symmetrical L-shaped round steel is welded at regular intervals on the conveyor chain to carry animal materials. When the chain assembly line is working, the chain at the bottom of the machine trough moves forward to increase the internal pressure of the material in the machine trough, and the internal friction between the material particles increases accordingly. When the internal friction of the material is greater than that between the material and the wall of the machine trough During friction, the material moves forward continuously along with the conveyor chain.\nTechnical characteristics of plate chain line, plate chain assembly line and plate chain conveyor line:\n1. The material with high conveying efficiency flows as a whole in the machine trough of the chain assembly line, so a small machine trough space can convey a large amount of materials, and the external dimensions of the equipment are correspondingly smaller.\n2. Low energy consumption The machine uses the friction force in the material to transport, and the conveyor chain and the casing move without friction. Under the conditions of the same conveying volume and longer conveying distance, the power consumption of this machine is about 40% lower than that of the spiral assembly line.\n3. Low failure rate The rollers on the conveyor chain roll on the guide rails, and there is no friction between the conveyor chain and the casing. The chain is made of alloy steel heat treatment, and its normal service life is about 3 years, and the failure rate during operation is low. Except for the head and tail bearings, there is no lubrication point in the assembly line.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Metal buildings have gained popularity due to their affordability, durability, and versatility. Here we will explore five ways constructing metal buildings can help you save money in various aspects of construction and maintenance, making them a smart choice for budget-conscious individuals and businesses.\nOne of the significant advantages of constructing metal buildings is their lower construction costs compared to traditional construction methods. Metal building components are often pre-engineered and fabricated off-site, reducing labor and material costs. Additionally, the assembly process is faster and more efficient, resulting in reduced construction time and associated expenses. By opting for a metal building, you can save significantly on construction costs, making it an attractive option for those working within a budget.\nMetal buildings are known for their excellent energy efficiency. They can be insulated with high-quality materials, reducing heat transfer and improving temperature regulation. This insulation helps to keep the interior comfortable and minimizes the need for excessive heating or cooling. Consequently, constructing metal buildings versus traditional builds can significantly lower energy consumption, reducing utility bills over time. The long-term energy savings make metal buildings a cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial applications.\nMetal buildings require minimal maintenance compared to traditional structures. Metal is resistant to rot, pests, and weather damage, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements. Additionally, metal buildings are known for their durability and longevity, withstanding harsh environmental conditions for many years. The reduced maintenance and repair costs associated with constructing metal buildings translate into long-term savings and greater peace of mind for property owners.\nInsurance providers often consider metal buildings a lower risk due to their fire-resistant properties and structural stability. As a result, insurance premiums for finished metal buildings tend to be lower than those for traditional structures. By opting for a metal building, you can potentially save a significant amount of money on insurance premiums over the lifespan of the building.\nMetal buildings offer great flexibility in terms of design and future expansion. The clear-span construction of metal buildings allows for versatile floor plans, providing ample space for various purposes. Additionally, metal buildings can be easily modified or expanded in the future, minimizing the need for costly renovations or additional construction projects. This adaptability allows businesses and homeowners to accommodate changing conditions and growth without incurring substantial expenses.\nMetal buildings offer numerous cost-saving benefits in construction projects. From lower construction costs and energy efficiency to minimal maintenance requirements, insurance savings, and the flexibility for future expansion, metal buildings provide an excellent opportunity to save money while ensuring durability and functionality.

There is a scientific consensus that perpetual motion in an isolated system would violate the first and/orsecond law of thermodynamics.\nMachines which extract energy from seemingly perpetual sources—such as ocean currents—are capable of moving “perpetually” (for as long as that energy source itself endures), but they are not considered to be perpetual motion machines because they are consuming energy from an external source and are not isolated systems (in reality, no system can ever be a fully isolated system). Similarly, machines which comply with both laws of thermodynamics but access energy from obscure sources are sometimes referred to as perpetual motion machines, although they also do not meet the standard criteria for the name.\nDespite the fact that successful isolated system perpetual motion devices are physically impossible in terms of the current understanding of the laws of physics, the pursuit of perpetual motion remains popular.\nThere is a scientific consensus that perpetual motion in an isolated system violates either the first law of thermodynamics, the second law of thermodynamics, or both. The first law of thermodynamics is essentially a statement of conservation of energy. The second law can be phrased in several different ways, the most intuitive of which is that heat flows spontaneously from hotter to colder places; the most well known statement is that entropy tends to increase (see entropy production), or at the least stay the same; another statement is that no heat engine (an engine which produces work while moving heat from a high temperature to a low temperature) can be more efficient than a Carnot heat engine.\nIn other words:\n- In any isolated system, one cannot create new energy (first law of thermodynamics)\n- The output power of heat engines is always smaller than the input heating power. The rest of the energy is removed as heat at ambient temperature. The efficiency (this is the produced power divided by the input heating power) has a maximum, given by the Carnot efficiency. It is always lower than one\n- The efficiency of real heat engines is even lower than the Carnot efficiency due to irreversible processes.\nThe statements 2 and 3 only apply to heat engines. Other types of engines, which convert e.g. mechanical into electromagnetic energy, can, in principle, operate with 100% efficiency.\nMachines which comply with both laws of thermodynamics by accessing energy from unconventional sources are sometimes referred to as perpetual motion machines, although they do not meet the standard criteria for the name. By way of example, clocks and other low-power machines, such as Cox’s timepiece, have been designed to run on the differences in barometric pressure or temperature between night and day. These machines have a source of energy, albeit one which is not readily apparent so that they only seem to violate the laws of thermodynamics.\nMachines which extract energy from seemingly perpetual sources – such as ocean currents – are indeed capable of moving “perpetually” until that energy source runs down. They are not considered to be perpetual motion machines because they are consuming energy from an external source and are not isolated systems.\nOne classification of perpetual motion machines refers to the particular law of thermodynamics the machines purport to violate:\n- A perpetual motion machine of the first kind produces work without the input of energy. It thus violates the first law of thermodynamics: the law of conservation of energy.\n- A perpetual motion machine of the second kind is a machine which spontaneously converts thermal energy into mechanical work. When the thermal energy is equivalent to the work done, this does not violate the law of conservation of energy. However it does violate the more subtle second law of thermodynamics (see also entropy). The signature of a perpetual motion machine of the second kind is that there is only one heat reservoir involved, which is being spontaneously cooled without involving a transfer of heat to a cooler reservoir. This conversion of heat into useful work, without any side effect, is impossible, according to the second law of thermodynamics.\n- A more obscure category is a perpetual motion machine of the third kind, usually (but not always) defined as one that completely eliminates friction and other dissipative forces, to maintain motion forever (due to its mass inertia). Third in this case refers solely to the position in the above classification scheme, not the third law of thermodynamics. Although it is impossible to make such a machine, as dissipation can never be 100% eliminated in a mechanical system, it is nevertheless possible to get very close to this ideal (see examples in the Low Friction section). Such a machine would not serve as a source of energy but would have utility as a perpetual energy storage device.\nUse of the term “impossible” and perpetual motion\nOctober 1920 issue of Popular Science magazine, on perpetual motion. Although scientists have established them to be impossible under the known laws of physics, perpetual motion continues to capture the imagination of inventors. The device shown is a “mass leverage” device, where the spherical weights on the right have more leverage than those on the left, supposedly creating a perpetual rotation. However, there are a greater number of weights on the left, balancing the device.\n“Epistemic impossibility” describes things which absolutely cannot occur within our current formulation of the physical laws. This interpretation of the word “impossible” is what is intended in discussions of the impossibility of perpetual motion in a closed system.\nThe conservation laws are particularly robust from a mathematical perspective. Noether’s theorem, which was proven mathematically in 1915, states that any conservation law can be derived from a corresponding continuous symmetry of the action of a physical system. This means that if the laws of physics (not necessarily the current understanding of them, but the actual laws, which may still be undiscovered) and the various physical constants remain invariant over time — if the laws of the universe are fixed — then the conservation laws must hold. On the other hand, if the conservation laws are invalid, then much of modern physics would be incorrect as well.\nScientific investigations as to whether the laws of physics are invariant over time use telescopes to examine the universe in the distant past to discover, to the limits of our measurements, whether ancient stars were identical to stars today. Combining different measurements such as spectroscopy, direct measurement of the speed of light in the past and similar measurements demonstrates that physics has remained substantially the same, if not identical, for all of observable history spanning billions of years.\nThe principles of thermodynamics are so well established, both theoretically and experimentally, that proposals for perpetual motion machines are universally met with disbelief on the part of physicists. Any proposed perpetual motion design offers a potentially instructive challenge to physicists: one is almost completely certain that it can’t work, so one must explain how it fails to work. The difficulty (and the value) of such an exercise depends on the subtlety of the proposal; the best ones tend to arise from physicists’ own thought experimentsand often shed light upon certain aspects of physics. So, for example, the thought experiment of a Brownian ratchet as a perpetual motion machine was first discussed by Gabriel Lippmann in 1900 but it was not until 1912 that Marian Smoluchowski gave an adequate explanation for why it cannot work. However, during that twelve year period scientists did not believe that the machine was possible. They were merely unaware of the exact mechanism by which it would inevitably fail.\nThe law that entropy always increases, holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell’s equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell’s equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.—Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1927)\nIn the mid 19th-century Henry Dircks investigated the history of perpetual motion experiments, writing a vitriolic attack on those who continued to attempt what he believed to be impossible:\n“There is something lamentable, degrading, and almost insane in pursuing the visionary schemes of past ages with dogged determination, in paths of learning which have been investigated by superior minds, and with which such adventurous persons are totally unacquainted. The history of Perpetual Motion is a history of the fool-hardiness of either half-learned, or totally ignorant persons.”—Henry Dircks, Perpetuum Mobile: Or, A History of the Search for Self-motive (1861)\n|This section needs additionalcitations for verification.(August 2010)|\n|“||One day man will connect his apparatus to the very wheelwork of the universe […] and the very forces that motivate the planets in their orbits and cause them to rotate will rotate his own machinery.||”|\nSome common ideas reoccur repeatedly in perpetual motion machine designs. Many ideas that continue to appear today were stated as early as 1670 by John Wilkins, Bishop of Chester and an official of the Royal Society. He outlined three potential sources of power for a perpetual motion machine, “Chymical Extractions”, “Magnetical Virtues” and “the Natural Affection of Gravity”.\nThe seemingly mysterious ability of magnets to influence motion at a distance without any apparent energy source has long appealed to inventors. One of the earliest examples of a magnetic motor was proposed by Wilkins and has been widely copied since: it consists of a ramp with a magnet at the top, which pulled a metal ball up the ramp. Near the magnet was a small hole that was supposed to allow the ball to drop under the ramp and return to the bottom, where a flap allowed it to return to the top again. The device simply could not work: any magnet strong enough to pull the ball up the ramp would necessarily be too powerful to allow it to drop through the hole. Faced with this problem, more modern versions typically use a series of ramps and magnets, positioned so the ball is to be handed off from one magnet to another as it moves. The problem remains the same.\nGravity also acts at a distance, without an apparent energy source. But to get energy out of a gravitational field (for instance, by dropping a heavy object, producing kinetic energy as it falls) one has to put energy in (for instance, by lifting the object up), and some energy is always dissipated in the process. A typical application of gravity in a perpetual motion machine is Bhaskara‘s wheel in the 12th century, whose key idea is itself a recurring theme, often called the overbalanced wheel: Moving weights are attached to a wheel in such a way that they fall to a position further from the wheel’s center for one half of the wheel’s rotation, and closer to the center for the other half. Since weights further from the center apply a greater torque, the result is (or would be, if such a device worked) that the wheel rotates forever. The moving weights may be hammers on pivoted arms, or rolling balls, or mercury in tubes; the principle is the same.\nYet another theoretical machine involves a frictionless environment for motion. This involves the use of diamagnetic or electromagnet levitation to float an object. This is done in a vacuum to eliminate air friction and friction from an axle. The levitated object is then free to rotate around its center of gravity without interference. However, this machine has no practical purpose because the rotated object cannot do any work as work requires the levitated object to cause motion in other objects, bringing friction into the problem. Furthermore, aperfect vacuum is an unattainable goal since both the container and the object itself would slowly vaporize, thereby degrading the vacuum.\nTo extract work from heat, thus producing a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, the most common approach (dating back at least to Maxwell’s demon) is unidirectionality. Only molecules moving fast enough and in the right direction are allowed through the demon’s trap door. In a Brownian ratchet, forces tending to turn the ratchet one way are able to do so while forces in the other direction aren’t. A diode in a heat bath allows through currents in one direction and not the other. These schemes typically fail in two ways: either maintaining the unidirectionality costs energy (Maxwell’s demon needs light to look at all those particles and see what they’re doing)[dubious – discuss], or the unidirectionality is an illusion and occasional big violations make up for the frequent small non-violations (the Brownian ratchet will be subject to internal Brownian forces and therefore will sometimes turn the wrong way).\nBuoyancy is another frequently-misunderstood phenomenon. Some proposed perpetual-motion machines miss the fact that to push a volume of air down in a fluid takes the same work as to raise a corresponding volume of fluid up against gravity. These types of machines may involve two chambers with pistons, and a mechanism to squeeze the air out of the top chamber into the bottom one, which then becomes buoyant and floats to the top. The squeezing mechanism in these designs would not be able to do enough work to move the air down, or would leave no excess work available to be extracted.\nThe 8th century Bavarian “magic wheel” was a disc mounted on an axle powered by lodestones, claimed to be able to rotate forever.\nVillard de Honnecourt in 1235 described, in a 33 page manuscript, a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. His idea was based on the changing torque of a series of weights attached with hinges to the rim of a wheel. While ascending they would hang close to the wheel and have little torque, but they would topple after reaching the top and drag the wheel down on descent due to their greater torque during the swing. His device spawned a variety of imitators who continued to refine the basic design.\nFollowing the example of Villard, Peter of Maricourt designed a magnetic globe which when mounted without friction parallel to the celestial axis would rotate once a day and serve as an automatic armillary sphere.\nIn 1607 Cornelius Drebbel in “Wonder-vondt van de eeuwighe bewegingh” dedicated a Perpetuum motion machine toJames I of England. It was described by Heinrich Hiesserle von Chodaw in 1621. Also in the 17th century, Robert Boyle‘s proposed self-flowing flask purports to fill itself through siphon action and Blaise Pascal introduced a primitive form of roulette and the roulette wheel in his search for a perpetual motion machine.\nIn the 18th century, Johann Bessler (also known as Orffyreus) created a series of claimed perpetual motion machines. In 1775 the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris issued the statement that the Academy “will no longer accept or deal with proposals concerning perpetual motion”.\nIn the 19th century, the invention of perpetual motion machines became an obsession for many scientists. Many machines were designed based on electricity. John Gamgeedeveloped the Zeromotor, a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. Devising these machines is a favourite pastime of many eccentrics, who often devised elaborate machines in the style of Rube Goldberg or Heath Robinson. Such designs appeared to work on paper, though various flaws or obfuscated external energy sources are eventually understood to have been incorporated into the machine (unintentionally or intentionally).\nProposals for such inoperable machines have become so common that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has made an official policy of refusing to grantpatents for perpetual motion machines without a working model. The USPTO Manual of Patent Examining Practice states:\nWith the exception of cases involving perpetual motion, a model is not ordinarily required by the Office to demonstrate the operability of a device. If operability of a device is questioned, the applicant must establish it to the satisfaction of the examiner, but he or she may choose his or her own way of so doing.\nAnd, further, that:\nA rejection [of a patent application] on the ground of lack of utility includes the more specific grounds of inoperativeness, involving perpetual motion. A rejection under 35 U.S.C. 101 for lack of utility should not be based on grounds that the invention is frivolous, fraudulent or against public policy.\nThe filing of a patent application is a clerical task, and the USPTO won’t refuse filings for perpetual motion machines; the application will be filed and then most probably rejected by the patent examiner, after he has done a formal examination. Even if a patent is granted, it doesn’t mean that the invention actually works; it just means that the examiner thinks that it works, or that he couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t work.\nThe USPTO maintains a collection of Perpetual Motion Gimmicks as Digest 9 in Class 74\nThe USPTO has granted a few patents for motors that are claimed to run without net energy input. Some of these are:\n|Howard R.

[…] When atoms enter into suitable micro Casimir cavities a decrease in the orbital energies of electrons in atoms will thus occur. Such energy will be captured in the claimed devices. Upon emergence form such micro Casimir cavities the atoms will be re-energized by the ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum. […] process is also consistent with the conservation of energy in that all usable energy does come at the expense of the energy content of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum.”\nIn 1979, Joseph Newman filed a US Patent application for his “energy machine” which unambiguously claimed over-unity operation, where power output exceeded power input; the source of energy was claimed to be the atoms of the machine’s copper conductor. The Patent Office rejected the application after the National Bureau of Standards measured the electrical input to be greater than the electrical output. Newman challenged the decision in court and lost.\nOther patent offices around the world, such as the United Kingdom Patent Office, have similar practices. Section 4.05 of the UKPO Manual of Patent Practice states:\nProcesses or articles alleged to operate in a manner which is clearly contrary to well-established physical laws, such as perpetual motion machines, are regarded as not having industrial application.\nExamples of decisions by the UK Patent Office to refuse patent applications for perpetual motion machines include:\n- Decision BL O/044/06, John Frederick Willmott’s application no. 0502841\n- Decision BL O/150/06, Ezra Shimshi’s application no. 0417271\nThe European Patent Classification (ECLA) has classes including patent applications on perpetual motion systems: ECLA classes “F03B17/04: Alleged perpetua mobilia …” and “F03B17/00B: [… machines or engines] (with closed loop circulation or similar : … Installations wherein the liquid circulates in a closed loop; Alleged perpetua mobilia of this or similar kind …”.\nIn the late 19th century the term “perpetual motion” increasingly became associated with fraud and since then inventors have referred to perpetual motion devices using various alternatives such as “over-unity”, “free energy”, “zero point energy“. Here are some representative examples of contemporary proposed perpetual motion designs:\n- Motionless Electromagnetic Generator, a device that supposedly taps vacuum energy.\n- Perepiteia, a device that claims to utilize back EMF.\n- There continue to be frequent claims of water powered cars, which purportedly work by converting water into hydrogen and harnessing the energy of hydrogen combustion. The combustion process, in turn, reproduces water vapor, thus qualifying the process as perpetual motion.\nApparent perpetual motion machines\nEven though they fully respect the laws of thermodynamics, there are a few conceptual or real devices that appear to be in “perpetual motion.” Closer analysis reveals that they actually “consume” some sort of natural resource or latent energy, such as the phase changes of water or other fluids or small natural temperature gradients. In general, extracting large amounts of work using these devices is difficult to impossible.\nSome examples of such devices include:\n- The drinking bird toy functions using small ambient temperature gradients and evaporation.\n- A capillarity based water pump functions using small ambient temperature gradients and vapour pressure differences.\n- A Crookes radiometer consists of a partial vacuum glass container with a lightweight propeller moved by (light-induced) temperature gradients.\n- Any device picking up minimal amounts of energy from the natural electromagnetic radiation around it, such as a solar powered motor.\n- The Atmos clock uses changes in the vapor pressure of ethyl chloride with temperature to wind the clock spring.\n- A device powered by radioactive decay from an isotope with a relatively long half-life; such a device could plausibly operate for hundreds or thousands of years.\n- The Oxford Electric Bell and Karpen Pile driven by dry pile batteries.\n- Cox’s timepiece and the Beverly Clock powered by changes in atmospheric pressure.\n- In flywheel energy storage, “modern flywheels can have a zero-load rundown time measurable in years.”\n- Once spun up, objects in the vacuum of space—stars, black holes, planets, moons, spin-stabilized satellites, etc.—continue spinning almost indefinitely with no further energy input. Tide on Earth is dissipating the gravitational energy of the Moon/Earth system at an average rate of about 3.75 terawatts.\n- In certain quantum-mechanical systems (such as superfluidity and superconductivity), dissipation-free “motion” is possible.\nIn some cases a thought (or “gedanken”) experiment appears to suggest that perpetual motion may be possible through accepted and understood physical processes. However, in all cases, a flaw has been found when all of the relevant physics is considered. Examples include:\n- Maxwell’s Demon: This was originally proposed to show that the Second Law of Thermodynamics applied in the statistical sense only, by postulating a “demon” that could select energetic molecules and extract their energy. Subsequent analysis (and experiment) have shown there is no way to physically implement such a system that does not result in an overall increase in entropy.\n- Brownian Ratchet: In this thought experiment, one imagines a paddle wheel connected to a ratchet. Brownian motion would cause surrounding gas molecules to strike the paddles, but the ratchet would only allow it to turn in one direction. A more thorough analysis showed that when a physical ratchet was considered at this molecular scale, Brownian motion would also affect the ratchet and cause it to randomly fail resulting in no net gain. Thus, the device would not violate the Laws of thermodynamics.\nFree energy suppression\nBecause perpetual motion claims have been around for some time, conspiracy theories are often invoked to explain the lack of acceptance and/or availability of such technology.\nThis is a gallery of some of the perpetual motion machine plans.\nThe “Capillary Bowl”. It was thought that thecapillary action would keep the water flowing in the tube, but since the cohesion force that draws the liquid up the tube in the first place holds the droplet from releasing into the bowl, the flow is not perpetual.\n- History of perpetual motion machines\n- Incredible utility (patent concept)\n- Entropy production\n- Pathological science\n- ^ a b Angrist, Stanley (January 1968). “Perpetual Motion Machines”.

The freestanding jib has a circular coverage area. One great feature of this jib is that it offers more head room than other cranes. It can be placed closer to an overhead ceiling or structure. The electric hoist is quiet and emissions free. This crane is great for outdoor use as well, in an area such as a loading dock. The jib boom is sturdy and can withstand constant use. It can be made at home for applications below a larger bridge crane. This crane works best in open areas. This will allow the crane to be used for multiple service areas. It can be overlapped with other jibs to offer a staged work area.\nNext, we will look at wall bracket cranes. With wall bracket cranes you can have coverage in individual work areas. They can be used for applications along the walls and columns of your building. These work great in production plants at various work stations that are near a wall or support column. These can work in addition to an overhead or monorail crane. They provide localized coverage, which saves time over using the overhead crane for a smaller job. These wall bracket jibs can have up to two hundred degrees rotation, and this feature is usually powered.\nFoundationless jibs are the last option we will discuss. These crane structures are a true piece of innovation at work. The foundationless jib offers easy movement. It provides load positioning that is precise. Safety is crucial when operating a crane. The head of this jib is resistant to being dislodged by upward motion. This safety feature comes via the head retaining pin. This is a safe and efficient way to work.\nGorbel is the largest manufacturer of jib cranes. They offer varieties that include each of the mentioned types of jib crane. There is a perfect fit for your need. These cranes can be overlapped with one another and integrated into a smooth system of operation. Jib cranes are a bit of a speciality item but can be found and decent and affordable prices. There happens to be a perfect jib for every job. With a small amount of evaluation, the right one can be found for you. They can be shipped in a short amount of time and installed quickly.\nAs you search for a jib crane, take your time in determining the right match for you. This is a decision that will last you a life time. The options available should be taken into consideration, and evaluated individually. If you will need a system of jibs to get the job done, this system should be laid out with the help of a professional.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

We love its flexible rack storage system, concealed control panel with time-remaining display, and its quiet operation. Miele itself has an impressive reputation for reliability and durability, and this dishwasher has received great feedback from customers and experts alike. We had to deduct a few points because the G 5575 SC is pretty expensive to buy and install, but we still highly recommend this dishwasher (or any Dimension dishwasher) if you can afford it and if you don't mind cleaning out the filters every so often.\nYou can see how the Miele Futura Dimension G 5575 SC dishwasher compares to other dishwashers in our Dishwasher Review.\nEditor's Note: Miele has released the updated version of this model, which you can learn more about in our in-depth review.\nPart of Miele's Futura Dimension dishwasher line, the popular G 5575 SC is a full-size, ENERGY STAR® rated dishwasher. It will use about 285 kWh/year, and Miele estimates that it will cost around $23/year to run (estimate based on natural gas water heater, 4 wash loads per week and average electricity costs from 2007).\nFor superior cleaning performance with less noise and wasted energy, the G 5575 SC is designed with 3 spray arms and a triple filtration system that requires manual cleaning. It features sensor technology (AutoSensor) that can automatically detect the load's soil level and adjust the wash cycle accordingly. It is also engineered with Miele's Double WaterProof System, which immediately shuts off the water supply to the dishwasher if it detects a leak or blockage. Lastly, to help improve overall cleaning results, the G 5575 SC comes equipped with an automatic water-softening system in addition to its rinse aid dispenser.\nThe G 5575 SC has a total of six wash cycles including \"Pots & Pans\", \"Normal\", \"China & Crystal\", \"SaniWash\" (wash/sanitize), \"Rinse & Hold\" (rinsing items in between complete cycles), and \"Express\". In addition, you have the option of selecting \"Turbo Mode\" if you want to reduce the cycle time by 30% or \"Intensive Mode\" if you would like a heavier wash on the lower rack but a gentler wash on the upper rack. It also uses the CleanAir™ Drying System and SensorDry technology to effectively and hygienically dry the entire load. Leveraging the natural heat retention and water-condensing properties of its stainless steel tub, the dishwasher's CleanAir™ system heats up air pulled from its surroundings in a sealed external chamber, which helps to condense/evaporate dishwater against the dishwasher's walls and prevents external air from contaminating the load. The G 5575 SC's SensorDry technology simply adjusts drying time automatically based on its sensors readings of internal humidity and temperature conditions.\nThe Futura Dimension G 5575 SC can fit up to sixteen place settings and has three racks of storage designed with Miele's FlexiCare Premium basket configuration and 3D Cutlery Tray. Engineered to protect even the most delicate items, the racks can be adjusted in many different ways to accommodate almost any type of load. The lower rack can fit 3 rows of dishes up to 35cm in height, and it has 2 rows of foldable tines that can be lowered to create a flat space for larger items when necessary. At the back of the lower rack, there are also 2 height-adjustable supports for glassware. The entire upper rack can be adjusted to create more room above or below it for taller items. It has foldable tines, large cup racks (hinged) and a height-adjustable rail for long-stemmed glasses. The 3D Cutlery Tray can also be adjusted in height, as well as in width and depth to accommodate various items. The center can be lowered to fit larger utensils, and the sides can be pushed in to fit long-stemmed glassware in the upper basket.\nThe Miele Futura Dimension G 5575 SC has a concealed control panel (fully integrated) with a touchpad LED display where you can program a cycle, delay the start of a cycle by up to 24 hours and check the status/time remaining in a current cycle. The control panel will also indicate when you need to refill the rinse aid or salt or when there is another issue with the dishwasher. The G 5575 SC is relatively quiet throughout all cycles, and it has Q3 Acoustics™ according to Miele's acoustics scale, which ranks noise levels from Q1 – Q5 (Q5 being the quietest). When we asked Miele customer service to assign a decibel level to Q3, they refused saying that the decibel level would change based on the load and wash cycle. In general, Miele dishwashers are known to be among the quietest dishwashers on the market. Lastly, if you are trying to distinguish between the G 5575 SC and the and the other full-size Dimension models, the only differences are that the G 5570 SC is ADA-compliant and the G 5505 SC has an exposed control panel and a child-safety lock.\nIn terms of appearance, the Miele Futura Dimension G 5575 SC can be fitted with custom paneling (G 5575 SCVi) to make it disappear completely in your kitchen or you can purchase the prefinished model (G 5575 SCSF). The prefinished model features Clean Touch Steel™, a stainless steel finish that is scratch-resistant and won't show smudges or fingerprints. Both models have a full-length bar handle and the door has a ComfortClose design, so it is easy to open/close and will stay in place at any angle.\nMiele is a family-owned and operated German appliance manufacturer known for its high-end household appliances that are built with superior design, functionality, durability and overall quality in mind. While there haven't been many customers who have reviewed the Miele Futura Dimension G 5575 SC online, Miele dishwashers have received numerous accolades and excellent feedback from industry experts over the years. In a 2012 JD Power & Associates study on customer satisfaction with different dishwasher manufacturers, Miele received near perfect ratings in all categories except price (2/5). For two years in a row, House & Garden named Miele the #1 dishwasher in their The Best on The Best report, which surveys the nation's top interior designers for their secrets and advice on the top products. Miele dishwashers have also received the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and are recommended exclusively by Riedel as the best dishwashers for washing their glassware. In a Consumer Reports dishwashers study, the G 5575 SC was awarded 80/100 points, which is truly exceptional considering that the highest rated dishwasher only earned 81 points. The Consumer Reports study also noted that Miele was a very reliable brand and that its dishwashers were among the least repair-prone of major manufacturers. Given that Miele dishwashers are designed to last for 20 years, we feel that the up-front cost will pay off in the long run, so, if you can afford it, we highly recommend the G 5575 SC dishwasher or any dishwasher in the Dimension series. For this model, Miele also offers a 1-year limited warranty and a 90-day satisfaction guarantee with a full refund.\nThe Miele Futura Dimension G 5575 SC has only received a few customer reviews online on Amazon.com. While one review was negative, it was only because the customer was unhappy with the shipper, and everyone seems to be happy with the performance of the Miele Dimension dishwashers overall.Editor's Note: Miele has released the updated version of this model, which you can learn more about here.\n* indicates required field", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It is so interesting that the new owners moved the company from a loss making one to an extremely profitable one. It was always a car that I adored for its strength. One of my friends is a fan and has had 3 different models of the Land Rover series.\nThis car specifically had a lot of changes made in 2007. It was almost like a reintroduction of the defender. Most of the changes were internal, the major being one to meet the emissions criteria. They changed the bonnet slightly too. Defender in general was one of the toughest vehicles in the land rover series. It was used in the British Army, Armies of Commonwealth of Nations, as police cars etc. It has been used an off roader around the world. It is one of the best off road cars to maintain. According to my understanding, with changes in the engine, people would have doubted the cars capabilities and might have started thinking of it as a lesser powerful car than its previous versions. Through this advertisement the intention of portraying it as an even more powerful car can be seen. This advertisement is mostly geared towards men between the ages of 25 to 50. It shows the aspect of immense strength to pull two heavy water vehicles much larger than the car itself. The size of the second ship is kept somewhat a mystery as they have not shown the complete ship creating a feeling that it is much bigger than it looks.\nSo the car is shown at the forefront of this picture so the clear emphasis on it is clear. If we study the lines in the picture we see two types, diagonal for the dock/road that goes by the water and curves of the ropes used to tie water vehicles to 2007 Defender. This shows that even within the agitation there is calm and grace by which the car is pulling the two water vehicles gently. Agitation part is also emphasized by showing a prominent dividing line between tiles and some cracks on the road.\nOverall I think the ad was pretty well done but if asked if I would make changes, I would reply saying that there are two which I think should have been done differently. The skies should either be clear or stormy. Gloomy skies kill the attitude being shown slightly. Second would be to remove the birds from where they have been placed and put them somewhere over the ship. The birds do make it look more natural but where and how they have been placed make them a distraction which could be avoided.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Its function is to atomize the fuel into tiny droplets according to the characteristics of the diesel engine mixture formation, and inject them to specific parts of the combustion chamber, so that the engine can start normally. However, once the fuel injector fails, the engine cannot be started, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle or machinery. So how should we check whether the fuel injector is good or bad? Now Megicar Auto Parts Co.,Ltd makes a simple analysis for you.\n1. Special equipment inspection: remove the fuel injector and take it to the fuel injector test bench for inspection. If the detected injection pressure fails to meet the corresponding technical standards, the atomization of the injector is poor, there is oil dripping or leakage, and the injector cannot be recovered after cleaning and adjustment, the injector is faulty.\n2. Judge whether the fuel injector is good or bad by the difficulty of starting the cold engine and the exhaust smoke color after starting: it is difficult to start the cold engine, and the exhaust smoke color after starting has white smoke or black smoke. If the fuel supply angle and cylinder pressure are normal, the fuel injector may be faulty.\n3. Cylinder cut-off method: After the engine is started, maintain a stable speed, and then loosen the high-pressure fuel pipes one by one to see if the engine speed changes. If the generator speed drops significantly after the cylinder is cut off, it means that the combustion of this cylinder has an effect on the engine, and the injector of this cylinder is good. If the rotation speed of the generator does not decrease significantly after the cylinder is cut off, it means that the combustion of this cylinder has no effect on the engine, and the white smoke or black smoke of the engine is less, it means that the injector of this cylinder is broken.\n4. Remove the fuel injector. If the fuel injector has a lot of carbon and is wet, the fuel injector will not work well.\n5. If it is found that the engine oil becomes thin and the engine oil smells of diesel, it is often related to injector failure.\nMegicar Auto Parts Co.,Ltd is a professional supplier and manufacturer of common-rail fuel injector in China. We are keen to develop customers who need fuel injectors worldwide and provide our good products to Achieve long-term cooperation.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

His group is strongly interdisciplinary, combines computational and experimental work, and currently involves 5 PhD students and 5 postdocs. Computational models relate to the use of mesh-based and meshless (particle-based, agent-based) methods and study cell-matrix mechanics and angiogenesis, and its relation to tissue regeneration. Experimental work aims at quantifying cell-matrix mechanics and solute transport, among others by means of optical microscopy imaging and image data analysis. Challenges relate to integrating computational and experimental data to generate novel understanding on cell-matrix mechanics and angiogenesis. Hans Van Oosterwyck has been a Council Member of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) since 2006. He has been the President of the ESB between 2012-2014.\n“Quantifying cellular forces during endothelial cell migration and vascular invasion”\nAngiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature, is a process that is fundamental to tissue and organ development, growth, repair and disease. Numerous studies have focused on the biochemical regulation of angiogenesis. In contrast, studies that target the mechanical regulation of angiogenesis are rare. In our group, we develop experimental and computational tools to quantify cell-matrix mechanical interactions and to investigate their importance for angiogenesis, both at the single cell scale as well as multicellular scale of an invading angiogenic sprout.\nIn vitro model of single endothelial cell adhesion and migration\nEndothelial cells were cultured on soft polyacrylamide hydrogels of different stiffness values (1.4, 2.7, and 4.5kPa) and coated with different adhesion proteins (fibronectin or collagen). Cellular tractions were quantified by means of Traction Force Microscopy (TFM). Two spatiotemporal analysis methods were implemented and applied to the TFM data. A first analysis zooms into the acquired traction maps and define subsets of tractions associated with a local single peak of maximal traction, termed traction foci, in this way analyzing tractions at a subcellular scale close to the length scale of focal adhesion complexes. A second analysis clusters cells based on spatial distribution, magnitude, and temporal evolution of tractions at each time-point into distinct transient states. These states characterize cell mechanical behavior in terms of force polarization and strength.\nTraction foci were found to be larger in cells on collagen than on fibronectin, and stronger on stiffer hydrogels. The trends with which tractions increased with stiffness were different for foci and whole-cells, and depended on the adhesion protein used. Differences could be explained from the number of foci and their average strength. On fibronectin, a large number of short-lived weak foci were noticed, together being responsible for up to 30% to the total traction.\nClustering analysis demonstrated that in all conditions, cell traction exertion is polarized, particularly on collagen. By looking into state transitions it was found that cells do not easily change simultaneously their force polarization and strength.\nIn vitro model of vascular invasion\nDisplacement fields around an angiogenic sprout that invades a collagen hydrogel were characterized in relation to sprout morphology and dynamics. Collagen displacement calculations were performed by means of a B-spline-based 3D non-rigid image registration process that warps the image of the deformed gel to the image of the relaxed gel. The latter was obtained by disrupting the cell’s actin cytoskeleton. We found that maximum displacements are of the order of 2 to 10 µms and are located at the sprout tips as well as sprout bases. Between bases and tips, traction-induced matrix displacements become negligible, suggesting that single sprouts mechanically behave as a force dipole along the sprout axis. By downregulating actin polymerization with cytochalasin D, displacement magnitudes were reduced, which also influenced sprout dynamics at different length scales: total sprout invasion length and individual sprout dynamics were reduced and sprout protrusions were found to retract.\nIn silico models of cell-matrix mechanical interactions\nTwo different models were implemented that capture a mechanically active cell in either a 2D or 3D environment, by using meshless, particle-based methods. A first model describes a three-dimensional cell on a planar substrate, and captures the dynamics of cell protrusion, adhesion and stress fiber formation by means of the discrete element method. A second model makes a 2D representation of a cell embedded in a viscoelastic, degradable extracellular matrix (ECM), modeled by means of smoothed particle hydrodynamics. Protrusions follow from local reduction of cortex stiffness and the application of small protrusive forces, and stabilized through adhesion formation. Curvature-dependent cortex contractility is implemented as well, leading to cellular tractions.\nModel sensitivity focused on the effect on traction polarization, morphology, and cellular traction magnitude of parameters accounting for protrusion, adhesion, actomyosin contraction, ECM stiffness, and ECM degradation. Simulations are compared to TFM experimental results. Results among others suggested that long-range deformations, as observed experimentally around invading sprouts, require collagen hydrogel to strain stiffen.\nAcknowledgements: FP7/2007-2013)/ERC n° 308223, FWO-Vlaanderen (n° G.0821.13, n° G.0821.13", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

A year later, the R4 will hit the market in SUV format.\nThe three models are developed and marketed by Ampere, but operate under the Renault name. The brand wants to have a total of seven electric models on offer by 2031. The goal is to sell 300,000 electric cars in 2025, and the number is expected to increase to one million by 2031. That would be half of the total cars produced.\nThis is the subsidiary of Renault Ampere\nFrench car manufacturer Renault plans to IPO its newly founded electric car subsidiary Ampere next year.\nAmpere employs more than 11 thousand people, a third of whom are engineers.

There’s a surprising amount of science and engineering that goes into making hay, and now that I live in hay-making country I thought it prudent to learn more about how hay is made.\nOf course, many factors contribute to the quality of hay.\n- You have the type of hay, the soil it’s grown in, how “weedy” the fields are, how much rain happens (or not), and how it’s turned from grass into bales of hay. When all of the stars align, your horse can munch down on some amazing hay.\nFirst things first – the cutting of hay.\n- Basically, the hayfield is mowed using a mower-conditioner. The best time is when the grass is mature, but not old. The mowing needs to happen when there is a window of three to five days AFTER when the hay can dry. Wet hay is a mold party waiting to happen.\n- When the hay is cut, the mower conditioner cuts the grass, which then goes through the conditioner to crimp the hay. This makes the drying process a little faster. Most mower conditioners will crimp the hay every 4 inches, but some super mower conditioners crimp the hay at smaller increments to speed up drying.\nWindrows of drying hay.\nThe mower-conditioner machine also creates those rows of cut grass in the fields.\n- These are called windrows, and the mower conditioner determines how wide the windrows are.\n- If you need to, you can then come over the windrows with a tedder. This handy machine spreads out the windrows. To speed up the grass drying process. Must outrun the rain!\n- A few more steps – if the windrows have been spread out by the tedder, then the rake can come along and put them back into windrows. Alternatively, the rake can turn over the windrows if they were not spread out by the tedder.\nThe tedding machine – all about helping the cut grass dry.\nNow it’s finally time to bale the hay.\n- The baler sucks up the windrows, and creates bales or round bales.\n- Different balers create different sizes of bales. It may be a two-string, a three-string, or a baby-sized round bale, or a monster round bale.\nA baler. This one creates small round bales.\nThere’s quite a lot of land, equipment, and dodging weather for this to happen. And, it can just as easily be ruined with the wrong timing or busted equipment.\nDo you know where your hay comes from?", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

What took half a day in the past can now be accomplished in less than an hour. One of these technological breakthroughs is the convergence of CCTV and surveying, the result being portable video inspection equipment like the Pearpoint Flexiprobe pipe camera we use at Wetwork Plumbing.\nBelow you’ll find out more about challenges facing the construction and maintenance industries, how our Wetwork Plumbing pipeline inspections work, who can benefit from as-needed inspections, and how to book a drain or pipe inspection in Durban and Johannesburg:\nMost metropolitan utilities, such as water pipes and drainage systems, are found just a few feet below the ground. The world would look like a completely different place if we didn’t bury pipes and drains! The issue with sub-terranean utilities is that finding faults when something goes wrong can be a challenge. Many a back yard have been churned up in the search for water pipe leaks and other pipeline issues.\nTime is money in the maintenance and construction industry, and finding faults can sometimes take the better part of a day. Not only do workers have to physically access the pipeline, which is often in hard to reach locations, but they also need to inspect every inch of the pipe manually until the fault is found. Luckily, technology has made this a whole lot easier.\nWetwork Plumbing bridges the divide between traditional plumbing and inspection technologies, offering professional pipeline inspections with state-of-the-art UK-manufactured portable CCTV equipment. We’re able to send a probe into any conduit ranging from 70mm to 300mm in diameter – be it a drainage system or a water pipe – and assess the situation. This frees up your time and resources to focus on fixing the fault without unnecessary inspection delays!\nWetwork Plumbing, with branches in Durban and Johannesburg, is uniquely positioned to assess and document pipe faults for any industry in South Africa. We charge no call-out fees, and we won’t charge you for a quotation! Got a fault you’re struggling to find?

They are usually 14 to 14½ inches wide and as long as building code allows in order to fit the specific opening.\nHow are they stored?\nThey can be stored stacked, usually in a garage, usually against a wall or flat on the floor.\nHow are they installed in my residence?\nThere are two basic methods of installing panels. The most economical is the so called Direct Mount Method. We install anchors in the wall that accept a threaded bolt so that its head sits flush with the wall (the part of the head that shows can be painted over to disguise it). When the Tracking Method is used, we install tracking which is usually permanent but can be made removable.\nHow would I put them up?\nWith the Direct Mount method, the person who is putting them up needs to use a power tool to unscrew each of the bolts and once the panel is hung up then it is secured by screwing the bolt back in. With the Tracking Method, they are usually inserted into an upper inverted-U shaped track and at the bottom they are secured with a Studded Angle (this is an L-shaped angle that has studs in it). The panel has holes that the stud from the angle goes through and the panel is then fastened with a wing nut — so no tools are needed in this method of installation.\nWhat colors do the tracks come in?\nThe tracks can be white, bronze or mill finish in color.\nAre they recommended for use on second stories?\nThey're not recommended for second stories or if you need to get on a ladder to put them up.\nWhat are Accordion Shutters?\nAccordion Shutters are typically made of 4 to 6 inch blades that are hinged so they can fold like an accordion (hence the name). These hinged blades slide sideways alongside tracks so that where they meet they usually lock. The folding blades are fit into a frame that is custom cut so it wraps around the outside of the specific opening. What provides strength to the Accordion Shutters is the top and bottom attachments — there is practically no limitation to their width.\nAre they easy to operate?\nOn a first story, they are usually installed with most of the locks to the outside and as many doors as possible with the locks toward the inside. They generally slide as easily as a sliding glass door does. On a second story, they can be installed if you have single hung windows or sideway sliders or sliding glass doors. Sometimes, they can be installed even with louvered windows. Please inquire.\nWhat Accordion brands do you use?\nThere are many accordion shutter products on the market, and we use the best quality product available. We provide our customers with as expedient an installation as possible under present demand conditions.\nHow long is the waiting time to installation?\nAt present we estimate that generally we can do an installation within four to six weeks after a permit is obtained. Accordions are available in white, ivory, beige and dark bronze. However, please inquire as to color availability.\nWhat are Roll Downs?\nRoll Downs are formed by joined aluminum extruded slats that run vertically up and down along two vertically installed side tracks. What gives impact resisting strength to the Roll Downs are these vertical tracks -they are installed along the outer edge of the opening. Depending on the size of the roll down, they can be either manually operated with a crank handle or with an electric motor. They roll up into a metal box that sits at the top of the opening.\nback to top", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The author is trying to explain the amount of force required to overcome the weight falling down and then accelerate it upwards. The 275lbs was given as an example of an amount of force used to overcome a 135lb weight. The force you apply has to be greater than 135lbs because you decelerate the bar and then accelerate it upwards. For simplicity, if you applied constant force, which results in constant acceleration applied to the weight, the time it takes to travel a certain distance can be calculated. You can use the equation below assuming constant force/acceleration:\n(Force - Weight) = acceleration x mass = (2 x distance)/(time^2) x mass\nUsing the author’s example, lets say you applied a 275lb force (1223.3N) to overcome the 135lb weight (600.5N) over a length of 0.5m from the bottom position to the top position of a clean. We’re able to calculate exactly how long it takes if we assume constant acceleration:\n(1223.3N - 600.5N) = (2 x 0.5m)/(time^2) x (61.23kg)\n=> time = .3136 seconds\nYou can manipulate the equation however you like to solve for one variable. All the author is saying is that it requires more force than the actual weight to overcome it’s inertia or momentum and accelerate it. If you had a 135lb weight and picked it up slowly, you would apply less force and generate less power in comparison to if you picked it up as quickly as possible. It sounds like the underlying message the author is trying to get across is that you control how much force you generate and it is not equal to how much weight is on the bar. You could apply the concept of maximum power output to your training. I remember reading an article in the past couple years about some device that could be attached to a barbell to measure power output. That way, it doesn’t really matter how much weight is on the bar, only that you’re training for peak power.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

But the woodpile stacked to the side of the building suggested that LaPier’s was an old-fashioned operation, one that still ran on wood for fuel rather than gas or electric. And a sign out front advertised an open house.\nInside we met Wayne LaPier, 75 years old, who has run this operation since 1985 when he bought it from his father. He’s standing next to the evaporator, the key piece of equipment in making maple syrup, and the producer of the smoke and steam that alerted us a boil was taking place.\nSap used to be collected in wooden or metal pails and then carried to the syrup house. Now a system of plastic tubing connects the trees and gravity carries the sap down to a drum for collection.\nThose drums are gathered when they fill, brought to the syrup house, and poured into a larger collection tank.\nSap from nearby trees bypasses the collection drums and is pulled directly into the sugar house via a simple vacuum system hidden in a back closet.\nIn another closet sits this reverse osmosis machine. It takes the sap from the collection drums and vacuum system and rather like a household water filter, separates the water from the impurities – except in this case it’s the “impurities” that become the syrup. The process cuts the fuel needed for running the evaporator by two-thirds.\nAfter going through the RO system, the syrup is stored in an overhead vat and gradually drained into the evaporator. Wayne bought this evaporator when he took over the operation in 1985. It’s made by the Canadian company Dominion & Grimm. Matthew Thomas’s Maple Sugar History blog has a short history of the firm, including an advertisement from 1909 with an evaporator that looks very much like this one.\nThere’s a pile of wood ready to be burned.\nThe rest of the family is moving the wood into place…\n…so Wayne can keep the fire going.\nSap boils inside the evaporator, further reducing the water content.\nWayne uses a hygrometer to test the syrup from the evaporator. When the syrup reaches a particular density, it’s nearly ready for consumption.\nIt only needs to run through a series of filters…\n…and the result is fresh, warm syrup, with a flavor much richer than even good syrup that has been packaged and stored.\nReader, should you ever have the chance to drink hot maple syrup right from the evaporator, please, do not pass it by.\nThanks to Wayne LaPier, Christine, and the rest of the family for letting us stay for an hour, answering all our questions, and giving us a taste of the syrup at its best.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Drain your water heater: Over the course of a year, hard water sediment tends to collect at the bottom of your water heater tank. The sediment deposits reduce the efficiency of your heater, costing you money!\nTo drain your water heater, first turn off the water supply and power to the water heater. Next, connect an ordinary garden hose to the outlet spigot near the bottom of the water heater tank. If possible, drain the water into a sink, tub, or floor drain. (Pumping the hot water outside is likely to kill your grass due to the temperature of the draining water.)\n2. Sharpen and clean your garbage disposal all at once: Put a few ice cubes into your disposal and run the unit, this will quickly clean and sharpen the blades, all at the same time!\n3. Change your furnace air filter: Experts recommend changing your furnace filter once a month. If you haven’t done it in a while, there’s no time like the present!\nUsing cheap fiberglass filters is actually preferred as opposed to more expensive HEPA filters for two reasons: First, replacing the more expensive filters every month can be costly. Second, the fiberglass filters actually allow for more air to flow into your unit reducing the amount of energy needed to effectively heat or cool your home.\n4. Toilets: Water leaking from your toilet tank will not only cost you money when it comes to your utility bill, but it can also cause water damage to your bathroom floor and premature wear of your toilet’s internal workings. To find out whether your toilet tank is leaking, add some red food coloring to the water in the tank. Come back in about an hour and see if the water in the bowl is pink. If it is, you have a leak. If you find that your toilet is leaking from the tank to the bowl, the flapper needs to be replaced. To do this, simply turn the water valve located directly behind the toilet. Remove the tank lid and flush the toilet in order to empty the tank. Use a towel or sponge to mop out any excess water left in the tank. Remove the flush chain from the lever, and then slide the old flapper up off the overflow tube. Slide the new flapper in place over the overflow tube, reconnect the chain, and turn the water supply back on.\n5. Faucets: The main cause of leaky faucets is worn out washers. The washers inside of the faucet handles are rubber and tend to wear out quickly. Replace them by turning off the main water supply, unscrewing the leaky handle that controls the flow of water to the spout, removing the old washer, and dropping in the new one.\n6. Washing Machine & Dryer: It is important to regularly inspect your washing machine water supply hoses for leaks. One of the top reasons for insurance claims is for water damage caused by leaky washing machine supply lines. Inspect washing machine water supply lines at least annually and replace them every three years if they are plastic. If you notice that the metal ends of your water supply lines are discolored or rusty, replace them immediately.\nFaulty washing machine drain hoses are as important as water supply lines when it comes to keeping water off of your floor and in your drain where it belongs. As with supply lines, regularly inspect the ends of your washing machine drain lines for discoloration or rust, and replace them immediately if you find evidence of leaking.\nAdditionally, check the snugness of the drain lines by using a crescent wrench or a pair of pliers. You should not be able to tighten the line any further if the line is properly tightened.\nWhen it comes to your dryer, it is important to make sure that you regularly clean your lint screen! Not only will a clean lint screen prevent fires, but it will also increase the life of the heating element. Physically remove the lint from the screen between each load of laundry. Also, be sure to remove fabric softener residue by washing the screen with warm water and dish detergent once per week.\n7. Plumbing: In order to keep water flowing freely through your pipes, keep the following things in mind:\nNever pour fats or other oils down your drains. This includes oils that are not solid at room temperature. If you accidentally spill oils or fats down the drain, run hot water down your drain along with a healthy serving of dishwashing liquid. The soap will emulsify the fat or oil and move it on down the pipe, preventing a clog.\nGet a hair strainer for the bathtub drain. If fats and oils are the main source of clogs in the kitchen, hair is the primary culprit in the bathroom. If you have a strainer, make sure that you remove any accumulated hair from it following each shower. This will reduce the amount of hair that finds its way through the strainer and into your plumbing.\nSkip the Drano. Though the acids it contains can help unclog a drain, they also cause significant damage to your plumbing, including premature leaking. If your bathtub or toilet is completely clogged, use a small drain snake – which you can purchase at any hardware store – to pull the offending clog to the surface. If your kitchen sink is clogged, try plunging it before trying to snake the drain. If you cannot remove the clog using a drain snake, call a professional.\n8. Air Conditioning: Air conditioners are among the most overlooked appliances when it comes to performing regular home maintenance. However, they can be one of the most costly appliances to repair.\nRegularly inspect the condensation hose to make sure that water can flow freely from the line. If there is standing water where your condensation line drains, create a drainage path using a small garden trowel and line the path with gravel to keep mold and algae from forming, which can be a serious health hazard when the spores are drawn into the appliance and blown into your home.\nAdditionally, keep the screen around your air conditioner free from debris to keep air flowing easily. This will prevent your air conditioner from using more power than necessary to keep your house cool and keep the internal parts from wearing out too quickly.\n9. Humidifiers: Some climate control systems have in-duct humidifiers that help keep air moist and healthy during the winter when artificial heat systems are in use. But when these systems aren’t working properly, they become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, which can cause serious air quality issues.\nAt the end of each winter season, it is important to drain the unit and close the water valve to keep water from stagnating in the system. Also, cleaning the reservoir with a mixture of water and white vinegar helps to keep mineral deposits to a minimum.\n10. Refrigerators: The main component of your refrigerator that should get your attention is the door seals. Keeping your door seals tight will reduce the amount of energy it takes to keep your food cool or frozen, but will also keep your refrigerator working efficiently, preventing premature wear on internal parts.\nTo test the door seals, close the door on a dollar bill and attempt to pull it out with the door closed. If you cannot easily pull the dollar bill out from the door, your seals are in good shape. However, if the bill slides out without much resistance, it’s time to replace the seals. You can purchase new seals from any home repair outlet store.\nAlso, if you have a refrigerator that has coils along the back, periodically vacuum these coils to remove dirt and dust build up. These coils contain the coolant the refrigerator uses to keep the internal temperature cold. If they become dirty, they won’t work efficiently and your refrigerator may stop cooling altogether.\nAs a general tip, keeping your refrigerator full uses less energy than trying to cool when it’s empty. Therefore, keep as many items in your refrigerator as possible to help reduce energy costs.\n11. Drafty Windows: Drafty windows are a major culprit of high energy bills in the summer and winter months. Periodically check the condition of the caulk line that holds your windows in place. If the caulk appears to be dry, cracked, or otherwise weathered, remove the old caulk with a box cutter or other sharp knife and run a new bead of caulk along the seam.\nFor added utility bill savings, you can further insulate your window by applying an insulating window film over the glass. These methods cost much less than the price of replacing your windows and implementing green energy technologies in your home.\n12. Gutters: While gutters may go practically unnoticed when you look at your house, they are the main line of defense between your foundation and siding and the elements. Gutters are designed to capture water and debris runoff from your roof and divert it away from your foundation, and one of the main causes of water accumulation in basements is a lack of gutter maintenance and proper water diversion.\nClean your gutters at least once per year by physically removing debris from the channels and rinsing them thoroughly by using a garden hose. Avoid installing gutter guards – not only do these not adequately prevent debris from entering your gutters, they also make it extremely difficult (if not impossible) to properly clean your gutter system.\nAlso, be sure to regularly check that your gutters are properly affixed to your fascia boards, and replace any sections that appear to be damaged or leaking.\n13. Roof: Periodically check your roof for damage. Damaged, discolored, or gravel-less shingles should be quickly replaced to prevent the need to replace your roof, water-damaged trusses, or drywall when you finally discover a leak. During the inspection of your roof, pay special attention to shingles that surround skylights, vents, and chimneys, as these areas are the most leak-prone.\nPAINT, PAINT, PAINT\nIt could increase your home’s value 2%\nADD A COLORFUL BACK-SPLASH\nThe kitchen is the #1 upgrade with the greatest return\nSET HOT WATER HEATER TO 120 DEGREES F\nEvery 10-degree drop saves 3-5%\nUPGRADE YOUR FRONT DOOR\nIt could increase your home’s value over 4%\nINSTALL LED LIGHT BULBS\nSave by using 75% less energy\nSTEAL CURB APPEAL\nWith these freebies: pull weeds, trim overgrown bushes, de-clutter\nSo you’ve just moved into your nice new home. You’ve unloaded the boxes and started to unpack your life.\nRight now is the perfect time to walk through a checklist of ways to save money on your home for years to come.\nStarting on these things as early as possible will allow you to start saving money sooner rather than later. Plus, some of them will be easier to accomplish before you hang pictures or get too settled in — and lose your move-in momentum.\nHere are 19 things to check or do immediately that will reduce the energy and maintenance costs of your home over the long haul.\n1. Check the insulation in your attic – and install more if needed.\nIf you have an unfinished attic, pop your head up there and take a look around. You should see insulation up there between the beams, and there should be at least six inches of it everywhere (more if you live in the northern part of the United States).\nIf there’s inadequate insulation up there – or the insulation you have appears to be damaged – install new insulation. Here’s a great guide from the Department of Energy on attic insulation, including specifics on how much you should have depending on where you live. Many states offer financial incentives, up to a 75% refund, for instance, to encourage homeowners to better insulate their homes.\n2. Lower the temperature on your hot water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).\nThis is the optimum temperature for your hot water heater. Most people don’t use water hotter than 120 degrees — indeed, water hotter than that can scald you or a child — and thus the energy needed to keep the water above 120 degrees isn’t used effectively. Lower the temperature, save money on your energy bill, and you’ll never skip a beat.\n3. Toss a water heater blanket over that hot water heater as well.\nWhile most modern hot water heaters are well-insulated, some are insulated better than others, and many older heaters aren’t insulated well at all. A small investment in a blanket for your water heater will slowly and gradually save you money on your heating bill over time by keeping the heat in the water instead of letting it disperse slowly into your basement or utility closet.\nThe Department of Energy recommends being “careful not to cover the water heater’s top, bottom, thermostat, or burner compartment.” And of course, on-demand (or “tankless”) water heaters don’t require this treatment.\n4. Install ceiling fans in most rooms.\nCeiling fans are a low-energy way to keep air moving in your home. Because of the air circulation effect, you can get away with keeping your thermostat a degree or two higher in summer and a degree or two lower in winter, netting a rather large saving.\nA while back, I wrote a guide to maximizing ceiling fan use. The most important thing to know is that the air directly below the fan should be blowing down on you in the summer and should be pulled upwards away from you in the winter — you can use the reversal switch on your fan to switch between the modes at the start of each season.\n5. Wrap exposed water pipes with insulation.\nExposed hot water pipes lose heat as they move water from your heater to your faucet or shower. Wrapping them in pipe insulation, especially in cold basements or garages, can make a two- to a four-degree difference in the temperature of the water, and also allows hot water to reach your faucet faster.\nCheck the pipes into and out of your hot water heater first, as the first three feet out of the heater (and the last few feet of inlet water) are key. Use good-quality pipe insulation for the job, which is actually quite simple — here’s a tutorial.\n6. Install a programmable thermostat – and learn how to use it.\nA programmable thermostat allows you to schedule automatic increases and decreases in your home’s temperature, saving money on cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.\nThey’re easy to install and easy to use, especially if you keep a fairly routine schedule. Just program the thermostat to drop a few degrees at night while you’re sleeping or off at work during the day, and set it to return to your preferred temperature just before you wake up or return home from work. You won’t notice the difference — until you see your lower utility bill.\n7. Replace your air filters.\nWhen you first move in, you almost always need to replace the air handling filter or the filter on your furnace or AC unit. Don’t worry, it’s easy to do – it takes about 10 seconds.\nGo down to your air handling unit, find where the filter is (it’s almost always a large rectangle), and mark down the measurements (printed around the edges). Then, go to the hardware store and pick up a few of them. Go home and replace the old one with a new filter, and save the rest so you always have a clean one ready to go. An outdated filter not only doesn’t filter air as well, but it also has a negative impact on air flow, meaning your air handling system or HVAC unit has to work harder — and use more energy — to pump out lower quality air.\n8. Make sure the vents in all rooms are clear of dust and obstructions.\nNone of the vents in your home should be covered or blocked by anything – doing that makes your heating and cooling work overtime. You should also peek into all of your vents and make sure they’re as dust-free as possible, and brush them out if you see any dust bunnies. This improves airflow into the room, reducing the amount of blowing that needs to happen.\n9. Mark any cracks in the basement with dated masking tape.\nMany homes have a few small cracks in their basement walls from the settling of the foundation and the weight of the house. In a stable home, the small cracks aren’t growing at all – they’re safe. If they’re growing, however, you’ll save a ton of money by getting the problem addressed now rather than later.\nHow do you tell if they’re growing? Take some masking tape and cover up the end of any cracks you notice inside or outside, and write today’s date on the tape. Then, in a few months, check the tape – if you see a crack growing out of the end of the tape, you might have a problem and should call a specialist before the problem gets out of hand.\n10. Hang a clothes rack in your laundry room (or better yet, an outdoor clothesline).\nEven an efficient clothes dryer can really eat up your energy costs, but it’s convenient for many people. If you’re willing to battle that convenience, you can save money by hanging a clothes rack from the wall in the laundry room and using it for some items; t-shirts, underwear, towels, and pillowcases dry great on clothes racks. If you can hang up 20% of the clothes in a load on a rack, you can get away with running the dryer 20% less than before, saving you cash.\nEven better: If you can, install a clothesline in your backyard and hang most of your clothes to dry outside, where a good breeze can do the work of a dryer in no time — and at no cost.\n11. Check all toilets and under-sink plumbing for leaks or constant running – and check faucets, too.\nDo a survey of the plumbing in your home before you settle in. If you find a toilet is running constantly, it’s going to cost you money – here’s how to easily fix that constantly-running toilet.\nYou should also peek under the basin of all the sinks in your home, just to make sure there aren’t any leaks. Got a leaky faucet? You should repair or replace any of those because the drip-drip-drip of water is also a drip-drip-drip of money; not to mention the terrible interplay between mold and home insurance.\n12. Install LED or CFL light bulbs.\nLED and CFL bulbs can save you a lot of money on energy use over the long haul, plus they have much longer lives than normal incandescent bulbs, making them well worth the upfront investment. Consider installing some in various places — especially in areas where the lights may be in use for long periods, like the living room or kitchen, or left on accidentally, like a back hallway or basement. CFL bulbs tend to be cheaper, but LED bulbs are usually preferable in terms of performance and have come down in cost quite a bit over the past few years.\n13. Choose energy efficient appliances, even if you have to pay more up front.\nUnless you were lucky enough to buy a fully-furnished home, you’ll likely have to do some appliance shopping. Focus on reliability and energy efficiency above all, even if that seriously increases the cost you have to pay up front. A refrigerator that uses little energy and lasts 20 years is far, far cheaper over the long run than a fridge that runs for seven years and guzzles electricity. If you plan ahead, you can buy it with a credit card that offers a big sign-up bonus. You’ll pay the balance off immediately and walk away with hundreds in cash or travel rewards.\n14. Set up your home electronics with a SmartStrip or two.\nLooking forward to getting your television, cable box, DVD player, sound system, and video game console set up? When you do it, set things up with proper surge protection (to shield your equipment from electric surges). You might also want to consider a SmartStrip, which makes it easy to “unplug” devices that aren’t in use.\nA SmartStrip allows the on-off status of one device — say, the television — to control whether or not there’s power flowing to other devices (say, the DVD player or the video game console). Having the power cut automatically from such auxiliary devices can save a lot of money over time, especially since many such devices eat quite a bit of power as they sit there in standby mode, constantly draining your money.\n15. Plant shade trees near your house.\nMother nature can help you save significantly on your summer cooling costs — and heating costs in winter, too.\nPlant deciduous trees — the kind that lose their leaves in the fall — on the western and eastern sides of your house. The leafy shade trees will naturally cool your home during the hot summer months by reducing the amount of direct sunlight that hits your house.\nIn the winter, they’ll lose their leaves, allowing that same sunlight to stream through your windows and heat up the home a bit more. And if you plant evergreens on the north and northwest sides of your home, they won’t affect the sunlight, but will shield your home from cold winter winds.\nAs an added benefit, mature trees can increase your property value. Just make sure to plant them a safe distance from power lines and your home itself (no one wants a downed limb poking through their roof). Plant them now, and they’ll grow and shade your house sooner.\n16. Change the locks and make spare keys.\nOne of the first things many homeowners do is change the locks on their new home. You don’t need to be particularly handy to install new door hardware, and a set of basic doorknobs and locks for your front and back door will only set you back $20-$80 or so. It may seem unnecessary, but there’s no way to know whether there are copies of your old key floating around, and who might have them if so. Investing a bit of money and time today can protect you from burglary down the road.\nWhile you’re at it, get an extra copy of your key made and leave it with someone you trust, so you don’t have to shell out $100 to a locksmith when you inevitably lock yourself out.\n17. Air-seal your home.\nThis isn’t such a problem in new homes, some of which are built tight as drums, but in older homes, it’s important to look for any places where air may be leaking directly into or out of your home. Common trouble spots are around doorways, windows, and even electric outlets.\nThese aren’t just air leaks – they’re money leaks. Thankfully, fixing small air leaks is pretty easy – here’s a great Department of Energy guide to caulking and weatherstripping, which will keep such air leaks from sucking the heat – and money – out of your home.\n18. Take advantage of tax benefits and other incentives.\nThe energy tax credit, which was set to expire in 2014, was renewed at the last minute in December. That means homeowners who made energy-based improvements to their homes last year were eligible to receive a tax credit for 10% of the cost, up to $500 lifetime. Whether this popular credit is renewed for another year, however, is anyone’s guess. A whopping 30% tax credit toward the cost of solar energy systems, residential wind turbines, and geothermal heat pumps is in effect through 2016.\nYour state or city may offer even more benefits, from no-interest loans to rebates, so do some research when you invest money improving the efficiency of your home — you may save even more money than you expected.\nMany states and local utility companies also provide home energy audits for free or at a discount. Someone will thoroughly inspect your home to find where you’re wasting energy. They’ll look for air leaks and uninsulated pipes, test the efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment, and even replace any older incandescent light bulbs for free.\n19. Develop a home maintenance checklist, and run through it for the first time.\nOne final tip: Create a home maintenance checklist. This list should include regular home maintenance tasks that you’d want to do on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Then, make it a habit to run through the items on this list every so often. Doing so will extend the life of almost everything in your home, saving you buckets of money over time.\nEaster Dirt Cake\nEveryone loves dirt cake so why not put an Easter spin on this delicious treat! With no baking involved it’s a great recipe to whip up with your little ones! You can’t go wrong with Oreo cookies, pudding, and cool whip. You can add whatever you want to the top, Peeps, jelly beans, edible grass, etc.\nFor the carrots, you can whip up some vanilla frosting, then add food coloring to get the orange. Next, put it in a plastic bag and clip the corner off. Squeeze little orange blobs on some wax paper and put them in the freezer for 10 min. until they are set.

After you gather all the ingredients, take the candy melts and place them in a microwave-safe dish. Melt according to package guidelines. I added about 1/4 a teaspoon of shortening (just a tad!) to help the candy soften. I melted about half the bag for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, checking on it every 30 seconds to mix.\nSTEP 2. Dip each pretzel into the green chocolate with small tongs or fork. You can cover the pretzels completely or let the access chocolate drip off. My pretzels were getting a bit drenched, but they made for even tastier treats!\nSTEP 3. Arrange the pretzels into the shape of a shamrock on wax paper. You’ll need three pretzels for each shamrock, making sure all the pretzels touch — this will help them adhere as the chocolate dries. Place your stick on top of the pretzels and drizzle with more chocolate to seal. Let set for several minutes and decorate with colorful sprinkles.\nShamrock Punch Recipe\nThis is the perfect addition to your St. Patrick’s Day theme party!

I came across a review on Mr. Webb and the HVAC service he provides, so we gave him a call to find out if he could fit us in his schedule for later in the week. I gave him a quick description of what we were dealing with and he offered to swing by that same day. He arrived promptly at the time that was arranged and went right to work at assessing our problem. Mr. Webb gave our AC system a careful, thorough look-through and determined that we had very low coolant levels in our system. Before we knew it, we had cool air pushing out of our vents.\nOverall, extremely professional and courteous. Throughout his whole visit he made it a point to explain everything he was doing and why. Where ever he was working throughout the house, he made sure he kept it nice and orderly (putting on shoe booties while walking in and out of the house, laying out blankets on the carpet where ever he placed his tools/ladder). Without a doubt, I will be using him in the future for any additional maintenance work. As a matter of fact, I requested that he put me in his calendar for seasonal check-ups. Unfortunately, they only allow us to give five stars - if I could, I would put more. If your family was in need any type of HVAC service give him a call first - you will NOT be disappointed!!!\n- Kimberly Santos. 5/13/2019\nAnthony Webb was very professional, knowledgeable and personable as a heating and air technician. He was also extremely patient in helping me understand what the problems were and how to use the thermostat for best results! He was very careful to wear shoe protectors and leave everything as he found it. Anthony was highly recommended to me by people who he had serviced for years!! I will also recommend him with confidence to others for his outstanding work!!!\n- Jean Smith. 2/30/2019\nTony came and took care of my heating needs next day. A week earlier than anyone else I called in town. Found errors in the job done before and got er fixed up. Thanks!\n- Andrew McConnell. 11/27/2018\nTony did a great job, and his price was affordable. He is a very respectful person and cares about the work he does, checking back to make sure everything is working good. I would recommend him to anyone.\n- Barbara Garlock. 11/2/2018\nCant say enough about what s great guy Antonio is. Always available when our air conditioner has issues. If you want a reliable and trustworthy company, this is it\n- Dora Davis. 6/3/2018\nWe have used Antonio several times over the last 10 years he has always been super friendly and efficient and has saved us so much money and kept us up and running. Highly reccomend his services!.\n- laura gamarro. 4/10/2018\nI have had the pleasure of working with Antonio for several years. He is the BEST. He is extremely knowledgeable , always prompt, and a true professional.He is very informative and explains what is going on well, and he always makes the decision based on ME. If you want someone you can trust and you want top quality work, Interior Professional HVAC is exactly what you want, and Antonio IS your guy!\n- Tawnia Moxley. 4/10/2018\nI have done business with Tony for over 20 Years. I have never seen a more honest, caring & professional person in my life. Tony takes prides in his work and assures his customers they will be 100%% satisfied. The fact that Tony is a Veteran explains his meticulous work habit. I have referred Tony to several friends and relatives and they had nothing but praise for Tony and his quality of work.\n- Calmom5 . 4/2/2018\nWe have used Interior Professional Heating and Air (Antonio) on many occasions and have referred him to several friends who have been just as happy with his professionalism, honesty and quality of work. He replaced the heater and air conditioner in our current house and he has serviced and repaired it whenever necessary. He also replaced the heater and air conditioner on our rental property. In addition to getting the job completed in a just a short time at a very reasonable cost, he treated our tenant with the same respect and courtesy he always does us and they were very happy. This is why we continue to refer him to our friends. You wont find a company with more integrity and professionalism. A co-worker was very impressed that he didn't try to just sell them a whole new unit during a service call. He told they still had life left in their HVAC system and advised a different option. Eventually he was the first company they called when they were ready for a new unit in another house. His prices are competitive, his work excellent, but his honesty and professionalism are second to none.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

SPMs are designed to measure local properties, such as height, friction, magnetism, with a probe. To acquire an image, the SPM raster-scans the probe over a small area of the sample, measuring the local property simultaneously.\nHow does AFM work?\nAFMs operate by measuring force between a probe and the sample. Normally, the probe is a sharp tip, which is a 3-6 um tall pyramid with 15-40nm end radius (Figure 1). Though the lateral resolution of AFM is low (~30nm) due to the convolution, the vertical resolution can be up to 0.1nm.\nFigure 1. (a) A new AFM tip; inset: The end of the new tip. (b) A used AFM tip.\nTo acquire the image resolution, AFMs can generally measure the vertical and lateral deflections of the cantilever by using the optical lever. The optical lever operates by reflecting a laser beam off the cantilever. The reflected laser beam strikes a position-sensitive photo-detector consisting of four-segment photo-detector. The differences between the segments of photo-detector of signals indicate the position of the laser spot on the detector and thus the angular deflections of the cantilever (Figure 2).\nFigure 2. AFM is working with an optical lever.\nPiezo-ceramics position the tip with high resolution. Piezoelectric ceramics are a class of materials that expand or contract when in the presence of a voltage gradient. Piezo-ceramics make it possible to create three-dimensional positioning devices of arbitrarily high precision.\nIn contact mode, AFMs use feedback to regulate the force on the sample. The AFM not only measures the force on the sample but also regulates it, allowing acquisition of images at very low forces. The feedback loop consists of the tube scanner that controls the height of the tip; the cantilever and optical lever, which measures the local height of the sample; and a feedback circuit that attempts to keep the cantilever deflection constant by adjusting the voltage applied to the scanner. A well-constructed feedback loop is essential to microscope performance (Figure 3).\nFigure 3. AFM images of ZnO nanobelt.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

There are a lot of things that must work together for a rifle to shoot straight. Basically, in order to get a bullet to fly straight we must first get it out of the barrel straight. That is what this section deals with. For all examples we will assume we are talking about a bolt action rifle. Specifically, a Remington, Model 700, bolt gun.\nThe rifle has 5 basic parts. They are:\nThe bullet must come out of the barrel straight. An important concept is the \"centerline\" of the barrel. This is an imaginary line running right down the center of the barrel bore. We want the centerline of our bullet to match the centerline of the bore. The chamber is reamed into the breech of the barrel. The chamber also has a centerline and it must be the same as the centerline of the bore. Stock rifle barrels are usually pretty good. But for our purposes lets assume price is no object. We want to start with a high quality barrel. Schneider, Krieger, Douglas and others all make match quality barrels.\nWhen a bullet passes down a barrel the barrel goes through a whipping action. The longer and/or thinner the barrel the more it will whip. Benchrest shooters have long held for a shorter and very thick barrel. Lately the trend is toward a little longer barrel with fluting. I can't pretend to be an expert on all aspects of barrel making. Call the people who make accurate rifles (list enclosed) and see what they think. Let's assume though that we want a very thick barrel in the 20 -22 inch range. Fluting a barrel means cutting grooves in the outside of the barrel. They must be equidistant around the barrel and must be cut very precisely. Fluting a barrel changes the internal dimension and can put stress in the metal. If I were to buy a fluted barrel it would be one made by an expert who will take the time to do it right, and stress relieve the barrel properly. Fluting does three things, increases stiffness, reduces weight, and improves cooling (because there is more surface area exposed to the air). Zareh Ohanian - two time winner of the Canadian Sniper Competition, taught me a pretty slick trick that would be a lot cheaper than fluting. Most of you are should be familiar with a process called \"bead blasting\". It is used extensively in repair shops to clean metal parts. It is not as destructive as sand blasting. Bead blasting is usually done in an enclosed cabinet. The cabinet's hopper is filled with glass beads and high-pressure air and beads are forced through a nozzle -- just like sand blasting. Zareh reports that initial testing showed that a bead blasted barrel cooled faster than a fluted barrel.\nI do have some experience with bead blasting, though not on rifle barrels. Glass beads actually remove very little metal. To verify this, bead blast a piece of stainless steel. Before you do it, measure the surface profile of the metal using a profilometer. Imagine dragging a needle across the surface of a record. The record is rough enough that you can feel the needle's vibration as it runs across the grooves. Profilometers measure the roughness in a similar manner, and record the surface finish on a chart. An old measure of roughness, \"rms\", is an average of the recorded difference between high spots and low spots. (A scratch is a \"ditch\" in the metal, with high edges and a low bottom.)\nBead blasting knocks tiny dings and scratches in the metal. Just as big grooves (flutes) on a barrel increase surface are, 10 billion tiny microscopic grooves do the same thing. I believe that the roughness increases the surface area of the barrel slightly more than the big grooves!\nWARNING: Knowledgeable engine builders never bead blast internal engine components. This is why: those beads are so small that you will never get all of them out. Many are actually embedded in the micro scratches of the metal's surface. They will work loose, get into the engine, score cylinder walls and worse, bearing surfaces. This can cause early engine wear, or at high rpms (like a racing engine), catastrophic engine failure. What do you think will happen to the inside of your barrel when beads are trapped between a bullet and the bore? If you choose to do this to your stainless rifle barrel, do a VERY good job of sealing the barrel at both ends before you do it. After blasting, carefully scrub clean the barrel before you remove the seals. Keep your rifles stored in a different building than the cabinet.\nNow while we are on the subject of slick tricks, I'll tell you one I have been thinking of but have never tried. You will need to locate a shop that does \"electropolishing\". Electropolishing does the opposite of bead blasting, it removes high spots. The metal is submerged in a weak acid mixture. An anode is placed next to the surface of the area to be polished. The ground is attached to the metal itself, and the positive is attached to the anode. Electrolysis causes the tiny ridges to dissolve into the solution. Now here is the idea, for an anode could you not use a tightly strung thick wire/rod running down the centerline of the bore? It would be shielded from the barrel using plugs similar to the buttons used to align cleaning rods. They already make electric bore cleaning systems, could not one of these be adapted to perform electropolishing? This process should make the bore EXTREMELY slick if done properly. Electropolishing removes only traces of metal, and would not change the bore diameter any at all.\nThe transition area between the chamber and the rifling is called the throat. The bullet will move out of the case neck and move down the throat until it hits the rifling. We will want to make this dimension long enough for our bullet to fit without touching the rifling. If we jam the bullet into the rifling it may stay there if the round is ejected. Also, there is a potential for dangerously high pressures if the bullet is in contact with the lands. The lands are the raised surface of the rifling. If our throat is too long, our bullet will have to float farther before it comes back under control by the lands. Keep in mind that if the bullet floats it will probably start down the barrel a little off-center. We want our bullets to be as close to the lands as is safe. This is usually .003 - .005 of an inch. You may have heard someone say they can't make their rounds long enough to get close to the lands and still fit in the magazine. In that situation, the throat is too long. I have heard many say that the cartridges like the .220 Swift and 7mm Remington Magnum are hard on the throats. This is because there is a large amount of powder burning (heat) at the throat area. In the 7mm RM the problem is more often found in Auto-Loaders (like the BAR) where the owners have engaged in rapid-fire practice. The 220 Swift is just a bad ass cartridge! I think the heat and velocities are enough to burn out the barrel and throat even if the owner is careful and cleans the barrel properly. Beware used .220 Swifts! I have never owned one and I'm only repeating the advice I've heard often from others. They are rumored to have a very short barrel life. (If there are any experienced Swift -O-Philes out there who would care to elaborate on or contradict this assertion I'd love to hear from you.) But I digress.\nZareh also adds that new barrel steels have largely solved the .220 Swift problems, letting the barrel cool between shots, and proper cleaning. Now before we go on lets consider something else. The barrel is threaded into the action. In the factory the machines that thread barrels and cut the threads in actions are different. Each machine cuts the same size threads a little different. Each barrel threaded on the same machine will be a little different because the tooling is being dulled. If we want our action and barrel to fit perfectly we need to have the threads on the barrel cut to match the threads on the action. Machinists call this \"chasing\" the threads. If I were to spend $1,000 dollars or so on a barrel, I'm not sure I would want someone else cutting threads on it! The preferred method would be to have the barrel guy do the entire fitting. This is not something most people can do in their garage. Good barrels can be had already chambered for $250 - $500 dollars. Add to this the cost of fluting, bead blasting, cryogenic treatment and fitting, and you are getting close to $1000 worth of barrel.\nA good action has a number of important qualities. The action must be rigid. Because, its face fits against the barrel, the face of the action needs to be perfectly square, if the barrel is to fit perfectly against it. The spacer between the barrel and action needs to be milled perfectly flat also. On the 700, this is the only change I know of that really needs to be made. Be careful when using actions other than the Remington. The Savage is pretty good, but the Winchester is rumored to be overly flexible.\nNow that we have a perfect barrel fitted perfectly to a square action we need a square bolt. On the 700 the bolt has two locking lugs. These lugs lock-up at the 12:00 and 6:00 positions. If the locking lugs do not contact the grooves evenly, when a round is fired the case will move up or down in the back. This of course is a very slight movement, but it is enough to start our bullet out on a crooked path. \"Lapping\" the lugs, means polishing the one or both lugs so that each will lock up with the same \"0\" clearance in their grooves. The base of our cartridge rests against the face of the bolt. If the face of the bolt is not perpendicular to the centerline of the chamber, the case can move in whatever direction the face is canted. We must then have the face of our bolt ground perfectly square. The tolerances we are dealing with are on the order .001 - .005 of an inch. This is best left up to people who have the precision equipment to cut and measure things this close.\nWhen the gun fires we do not want it moving around in the stock. If the barrel touches the stock anywhere past the first 1 -1/2\" from the action we will have a problem. The stock must be relieved until the barrel floats freely over it. Bedding is the term used to describe filling all voids in the stock next to the action. This provides a strong smooth surface for the action to bind tightly to. Accuracy International has designed a sniper rifle for the British Army that needs no bedding. The action is attached to a steel skeleton that the stock clamps to with bolts. This rifle is also being built under license at the Gunsite Training Center in Arizona. Word has it that all of the current production run is already spoken for.\nBedding an action using Acra-Glass and aluminum powder is pretty easy to do yourself. You may want to try it first on an older/extra stock first. This is how I do it. Take some fine powder like carpenter's chalk and very lightly oil the all of the outside of the action -- anywhere contact with the stock is likely. Now dust the action with the chalk. You want a very light coat of dust all over the parts that may come in contact with the stock. Now fit the stock carefully and tighten down. Carefully remove and observe where the action touched. Anywhere the chalk is light or non-existent is a void that needs to be filled. Now instead of just smearing in the acra-glass as is, it is a good idea to hog out the stock everywhere you have enough material to work with so you can put a lot of filler in. You will not have to worry about the filler being so thin that it doesn't stay put. A Dremel tool is good for this job. You need to pencil the outline of the action on the stock so you know where to cut. I have always bedded out to the first 1-1/2 \" of barrel.\nFollow the instructions on mixing the glass and aluminum powder. Don't get cheap and do it without the aluminum. Acra-Glass comes in a kit that includes this blue stuff that you apply to the action to keep it from sticking to the glass. Do a very good job on this part! After you lay in the filler press the rifle back together and tighten. Be careful not to get filler where it can get into the trigger group! Let the stuff set and after it's almost hard, remove the action. Trim off the excess and let it dry completely. Now you clean the action and you have a bedded rifle. Follow all kit instructions completely and you should not have any problems.\nMcMillan Fiberglass Stocks, Inc. is the world's premier synthetic stock manufacturer. Consider that McMillan has supplied over 1,000 stocks to the military and federal agencies for use in sniper systems. All spec-ops unit's use the McMillan stock, as does the USMC.I had the pleasure of meeting the McMillan family at the SHOT Show '96 and was most impressed by the quality and variety of their product line. If you have ever wondered what the difference is between a McMillan and \"all the rest\", you really need to take a look at both. The difference is obvious, even to a novice.\nI don't think I'm going to go to deeply into this for a couple of reason. First of all I have always had someone else do my trigger work. There is a reason that most sane people recommend pulls of AT LEAST 3 pounds. Any less and the chance of an accidental discharge becomes a very likely possibility. \"Set\" trigger systems are triggers that require two stages to pull. The first stage sets the trigger. Then the trigger can be set to a very low pull. Target shooters have been known to set theirs in ounces, not pounds. Of course, you would not set the trigger until you are certain that you are ready to fire. Many factory rifles now come with pulls set around 7 pounds. It is almost impossible to shoot accurately with the pull set that high. The pressure you must exert on the trigger to fire the rifle is so great that it moves the muzzle too much. (See section on basic marksmanship). I do recommend that you have your trigger set by an expert. I do not mean the guy down the street whose main work includes recoil pads, cold bluing, and cleaning. Find someone who does a lot of this so your trigger and safety will be safe for you to handle.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us?\nHand tools have been revolutionizing the way we live for 2.6 million years.\nTools make us human, but we are not the only ones who use tools. Some birds drop rocks to crack shells open, and certain apes use sticks to get food or groom themselves. What makes us different is the thought we put into toolmaking, says Ian Tattersall, PhD, curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Around 2.6 million years ago, our ancestors realized there was a superior type of rock for sharp-cutting edges (likely used to butcher animals). They chose these rocks, shaped them, and carried them for later use.\n“If our predecessors had never started making stone tools, we would not be the reasoning creatures that we are today. The invention of the cutting tool opened a whole world of possibilities,” says Tattersall. The lever, however, might be the most important tool to advance civilization beyond meeting our basic needs of clothing and food, says Voula Saridakis, PhD, curator for the collections and archives at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. “So many tools depend on the principals of the lever.” Wrenches, pliers, hammers, shovels, and jacks all helped build our world by harnessing the mechanical advantage of leverage.\nThose descendants of the first levers are among our list of greatest tools, and they’re not the only ones with a mechanical lineage that dates back millennia. But all the tools here, new and old, and in no particular order, celebrate humankind’s capacity to shape the world.\nCarpenters have this amazing ability to see the unrealized potential in a tool, a piece of scrap wood, even a drywall screw. And if there’s any construction-site artifact that seems to have inspired their imagination, it’s the humble carpenter’s pencil. Really, it’s more than a all-purpose marking instrument that won’t roll away. It’s also a scribing tool, a spacer (the thin side is ¼ inch and the wider face is 9⁄16 inch), and the perfect accompaniment to a tape measure or square.\nTypically, carpenters drop these wide, flat pencils—about $3 for a 10-pack, any brand will do—into their nail bag tip first so they can pluck them out and strike a quick line. To do this, put your index finger along the side of the pencil like it’s an extension of your digit, instead of pinching it like you would to write with it. To scribe an uneven shape onto wood, like for lining up a cabinet on a brick wall, lay the pencil on its flat side to translate the shape of the surface (the wall) you want to match the wood to. For curves with a smaller radius or bumpy surfaces, hold the pencil down on its edge.\nAlthough there are dedicated carpenter-pencil sharpeners, it’s another gadget to own, lose, or break. Most carpenters use a utility knife to sharpen their pencils. This allows you more control over the shape of the tip and how much lead you want exposed.\nTo sharpen the pencil, start on the broad surface with the knife blade ⅝ inch to ¾ inch away from the end. With the blade square to the body of the pencil, use your thumb to push the blade forward, gradually leaning it back so that by the end of the stroke, the utility knife’s blade is just about parallel with the pencil’s lead. Rotate the pencil 90 degrees, and repeat the process on the adjacent edge. Repeat on the broad edge and the remaining narrow edge.\nOf all the tools you use to shape wood, the handplane has come to symbolize craftsmanship of the highest order. It’s a cutting tool that’s designed to create truth: dead straight and flat surfaces ready for finishing and joinery. The Lie-Nielsen Handplane is a longtime PM favorite. Sure, it’s stunning to look at, but the beauty is in its flawless flat surfaces, wickedly sharp (and easy to resharpen) cutting edge, and precise adjustment capable of producing tissue-thin shavings.\nThe Speed Square is arguably one of the most useful building tools. Its markings help speed up repetitive procedures when framing walls or cutting rafters. The original Swanson Speed Square Pro comes with Swanson’s Blue Book, which contains instructions and explanations of the geometry, calculation, and layout of virtually any rafter configuration. If you’re only framing occasionally, it’s a fantastic resource. Aside from framing, the Speed Square can be used for just about every woodworking project, including sheds, shelves, firewood racks, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, workbenches, and sawhorses.\nIn addition to marking angles and parallel lines, and laying out rafter cuts, the tool’s flat base makes it easy to check that studs or joints are square (as shown above). One more use: a saw guide. Hold the lip of the square against the bottom edge of the piece you’re cutting and press down on the top to guide the saw for perfectly straight cuts. You can also flip it around to cut at a 45-degree angle or rotate it on the pivot point to cut at any angle.\nWith locking pliers, suddenly you’re Superman. Use them to clamp metal for welding, grab onto stripped bolts, pull nails. The original Irwin Vise-Grip 10WR locking plier is simple, well-built, and still great in all respects. The new model has built-in wire cutters and a recess in its adjusting knob to accept a 3/16-inch Allen wrench that lets you more easily and precisely adjust and release the tightening force.\nThe Skil worm-gear circular saw (Skilsaw) will turn 100 in a couple years. A century is a blip in the timeline of tools, though among powered, handheld implements, it approaches an eternity. The Skilsaw makes use of a spiral steel “worm” on the end of its motor shaft, which spins a worm gear below it. The output from that gear drives the blade, reducing motor speed and increasing torque. Today’s descendant, the 7¼-inch Lightweight Skilsaw, is an impressive refinement of the early models, now about half the weight (a reasonable 11 pounds 8 ounces), faster, and undoubtedly safer. And its revelatory capability—a portable saw ready to frame your next house, and the one after that—remains.\nThere are few landscaping tools as useful as a round-point shovel. It digs and moves dirt, gravel, sand, snow and ice, debris, asphalt, and concrete. It scrapes, pries, and chisels its way through roots, and is even helpful in fighting brush fires.\nA shovel also makes an amazingly effective fulcrum to move the practically immovable from your lawn: Lay an open-back shovel facedown on the ground, place the tip of the digging bar under what you want to lift (such as a fence), and place the length of the digging bar into the blade crevice. You can use your foot on the digging bar to provide force. The round nose gives you the ability to rock the shovel slightly left or right as needed to aid in the lift.\nA quick note: Square-nose shovels are quite agile in demolition work, where they can pry off drywall, scoop out insulation, and lift appliances for removal. But for its versatility, our desert-island shovel is this Bully Tools 14-Gauge Round Point.\nThe tools that literally built civilization predate records. But we can place the first level, the plumb bob, in Egypt as far back as 2700 B.C., Saridakis says. There, it guided the builders of the pyramids and other perfectly squared structures that still survive.\nThe Egyptians’ tool looked and functioned almost exactly as it does today: a pointed weight, hanging from a string. When you suspend it, for example, from the top of a doorway, you can compare the distance from the side of the doorway at the top of the string to the distance from the side to the bottom of the weight to determine whether it is square. It can also be suspended from an A-frame to act as a horizontal level.\nIts name comes from the Latin word for lead (plumbum), and it was a vital tool in the construction of the Roman Empire, says Saridakis. The tool even earned itself a Biblical metaphor in Isaiah 28:16–17, which reads that God “will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet” in Zion.\nA modern laser level from Bosch or Milwaukee is a fine addition to any tool kit today, but we still carry a plumb, like the Empire 8 oz. Steel Plumb Bob, as well. It’s indestructible and immune to ambient light, and the battery never dies.\nThe screwdriver is so fundamental today that it’s tough to think of any professional trade job or DIY project that doesn’t require at least one. More likely, you’ll need two or three, maybe more, which is why, since its introduction in 1988, we’ve been huge fans of the Picquic multi-bit screwdriver. The Canadian toolmaker now offers 10 versions, with the Picquic Sixpac Plus as its flagship. In its body, the screwdriver stores six ¼-inch bits—tough enough to use with an impact driver—while the aluminum shank with a magnetic base holds the working bit (a seventh one) firmly in place.\nIf there’s anything a Leatherman tool is, it’s an achievement of engineering. The Leatherman Wave+ is typical in that respect. It would be one thing if the tool packed in knife blades, pliers, and screwdrivers, and only some of them functioned. But everything works on a Leatherman. Tetris 18 tools into an 8.5-oz. package that is 4 inches long and about ¾ inch thick; if that isn’t a marvel, we’d like to know what is.\nWhen a generation of new American families wanted to settle down after WWII, the early Paslode pneumatic nailer ensured they got roofs over their heads. From the 1940s to 1950s, new-home construction doubled. This feat was pulled off with new time-saving technology like the nailer and circular saw. Instead of taking seconds to pound in a single nail, multiple nails could be fired in a second. Builders and framers gained a new level of mastery over the worksite.\nToday’s favored pneumatic nailer from Paslode, the 3½-inch 30-Degree PowerMaster, is a heavy-duty nailer that doesn’t sacrifice convenience. It features manual or sequential firing trigger options and is capable of sinking up to 12 nails per second. It’s also designed for simple depth adjustment, so you can easily calibrate the depth of your nails. This model is also perfect for toe-nailing, thanks to a spiked nosepiece that allows you to securely bite into wood as you fire.\nEvery trade has its hammers. Metalworking has the ball peen, masonry has stone and brick hammers, carpentry has framing hammers. Each hammer is optimized to its tasks, perfect in its own way. But there is one universal hammer everyone old enough to carry a toolbox should own: the trim hammer. Our shop has had this simple, all-steel 16 oz. Estwing Rip trim hammer for about a decade. The thing is indispensable and unbreakable, and will handle everything but framing—and frankly, it will handle even that for small DIY projects.\nIt can cut up a box, but don’t call it a box cutter. On a jobsite, it cuts shingles, roofing paper, drywall, and building paper. It can trim mason’s string and scribe lines on wood—and if needed, scribe on steel and aluminum. The nearly indestructible Stanley 99 maintains its 1960s industrial look, but now it also has a reinforced nose to better hold the blade in place.\nThe floor jack opens up a world of possibilities to the home mechanic. Beyond the oil change, it lets you quickly swap out wheels, repair brakes, or install a catalytic converter cage. It can also lift or lower components such as the suspension, exhaust, and even a differential or transmission.\nThe first known use of hydraulic power dates back 8,000 years to irrigation channels in Mesopotamia, though water wasn’t pressurized and used as a tool until the mid-18th century, and the first hydraulic press was patented in 1795. Hydraulic jacks (lifting instead of pressing) appeared in the following decades.\nToday’s floor jack is a horizontal hydraulic bottle jack with a short lever on one side to lift and a long lever (handle) on the other to apply pressure. That detachable handle might be the second-most useful tool in a garage; slip it over the end of a breaker bar to dislodge especially stubborn bolts.\nA good floor jack is made to be serviced, says Craig Hoffman, spokesman for Harbor Freight Tools, makers of floor jacks like the Daytona 3 Ton Professional used by many of our staff and writers. The chrome ram can be cleaned and relubricated, and the rollers underneath it can be greased for easier movement. And changing the oil every three years maintains the jack’s power.\nA reciprocating saw can cut through lumber even if it’s embedded with nails. Heck, it can cut through just about everything short of a rock. It’s the go-to tool for remodeling and demolition. You may also know it as a Sawzall, due to the dominance of that Milwaukee Tool recip saw. And while the category has become crowded, we still recommend, use, and try not to abuse too badly the Milwaukee 15 Amp Super Sawzall. It can cut all common forms of metal: steel, aluminum, copper, and cast iron. Of course, the blade you pick makes all the difference (see below).\nFor cutting through construction lumber, which typically has nails embedded in it, use a blade like Lenox Gold. You can also use a demolition blade, which is wider and thicker, making it better able to resist bending. If you expect to cut metal and want a single blade to handle everything, choose one with 10 teeth per inch (tpi). Although this blade will cut less aggressively, it will be easier to control. As a rule of thumb for metal cutting, use a relatively coarse blade (fewer teeth, like 18 tpi) for thick metal, such as when cutting bar stock. Use a blade with more teeth (24 tpi) for cutting thin metal and tubing.\nChoose a longer blade if you want to cut wood or metal flush to a surface. The extra blade length allows you to flex the blade into a curved shape, letting you saw away the wood or metal as you run the blade against the surface from which you are removing it.\nIf there is one power tool that can get you out of a tough spot during a home repair or remodel, it’s the oscillating multitool. It saws, grinds, sands, scrapes, and polishes. It does nearly anything you need to do, with the exception of drilling holes, and works in places other power tools can’t reach, such as undercutting wood door trim to clear thin-plank flooring. And it works on a variety of materials: steel, aluminum, carpet, hard tile, soft tile, hardwood, softwood, and various plastics. The Fein Multimaster has gained a following over the last 25 years as tradespeople and accomplished amateurs have recognized its outsize ability and durability. It’s practically our right hand in most home projects.\nA digital multimeter is an indispensable tool for testing, diagnosing, and troubleshooting electrical circuits, components, and devices. The first digital multimeter was introduced in the late 1970s, and has proven much more reliable than the old needle-based analog meters. It’s used primarily to measure voltage (volts), current (amps), and resistance (ohms). We regularly turn to the highly accurate Fluke 115 Digital Multimeter, which also measures continuity, frequency, and capacitance, and can display the minimum, maximum, and average readings on its large screen.\nIf a cordless power tool is dying faster than usual, you can check it by measuring the voltage with a multimeter: First, run the tool until the battery is nearly but not quite drained. Then recharge it and check it with the multimeter set to VDC (voltage direct current). Use the next-highest setting above the battery’s voltage, such as 20 volts for a 12v or 18v battery. Press the test leads against the battery terminals. A low voltage indicates that the battery is ready to be recycled (Lowe’s and Home Depot will take them) and replaced.\nThe familiar pistol-grip power-drill shape emerged from the labs of S. Duncan Black and Alonzo Decker around 1917. And WWII spurred the creation of lighter drills for the factory women that kept America running. These smaller drills became prized for home repair work and had a tendency to walk out of the factories, says Peter Liebhold, curator emeritus for the Division of Work and Industry at the Smithsonian.\nCordless models emerged in the 1960s, but they were expensive and the batteries were more useful as doorstops. By the 1980s, Makita’s 7.2v cordless drill began to catch on, first with repair technicians for small jobs. By the end of the decade, remodelers, electricians, and plumbers similarly embraced the handy tool.\nToday’s lithium-ion-battery drills are a revolution in themselves for their power and reliability. And our favorite drill in the shop today is DeWalt’s DCD999 for the control provided by its three-speed transmission and an 11-position clutch ring.\nThe 2.6 million years since our first stone chopping tools is an intimidating history to stand up against. It’s unfair to expect that we—as multiple species over this timeline—would create the greatest tool known to any life-form. Instead, we seek a platonic ideal of the axe itself: What is today’s perfect chopping tool? Our best answer is the Council Tool Velvicut 2lb Hudson Bay. Its carbon-steel head is sharpened and honed by hand and sits atop an American hickory handle, all balanced to help you hit your target every time.\nThe wrench, one of the most obvious descendants of our prehistoric levers, largely operates on the premise that for every fastener there is a matching wrench or wrench socket waiting to rotate its flat, consistent surfaces.\nExcept that’s not how the world works. Try to remove a stuck hex bolt with a 12-point wrench, and those six sides can become one. When it looks like you’ve got nothing to wrench with, a pipe wrench will save the day. (They’re also unmatched on pipes, of course.)\nDeveloped by inventor Daniel Stillson around 1869, the pipe wrench is set apart by its intentionally loose, adjustable upper jaw with hard serrated teeth. That play allows it to bind and clamp down on a pipe or stripped screw when you push the handle of the wrench down. It also spares you from having to reset the wrench when you pull up on the handle, as pulling up unbinds the jaw from your stripped nut or pipe. Just make sure you’ve left a space between the back of the wrench opening (the side without teeth) and the object being turned to give the jaws space to tighten down.\nSince Stillson’s patented design, the greatest advancement has been the aluminum wrench body, which can reduce the tool’s heft by around 40 percent. That’s a crucial weight savings, whether you’ve got the tool in your hand all day or just need to reach a single awkwardly placed pipe. Ridgid’s 12-inch aluminum straight-body pipe wrench clocks in at a reasonable 2.5 pounds despite a heavy-duty build. It’s also made entirely of replaceable—and warranty-covered—parts. It’s a tool you can expect to never replace.\nGreek mythology offers this origin for the saw: Talos, nephew of prolific inventor Daedalus, found inspiration in a fish spine and modeled a jagged strip of iron after it to invent the first saw. Historically accurate? Not a chance. The first known metal pull-saws date back almost 7,000 years. And by the end of Talos’s tale, he’d been turned into a partridge as protection from his now-jealous, murderous uncle.\nThe 19th century’s mass production of steel gave us today’s saws. For most of the last two millennia, saws were made of iron, says Ted Ingraham, director of the Zlotoff Tool Museum in South Hero, Vermont. Iron isn’t a particularly hard metal. And the ensuing kinking, or twisting, of the blade was such a problem it earned the old two-person saw the name “misery whip.”\nAround the 1880s, a golden age of saws dawned with the wide availability of more durable and flexible steel. Two-person steel saws drove the booming American timber industry while smaller steel hand saws offered a vast improvement for woodworkers. The saws of this era were built to last—built for someone to make their living using it. Many of these steel saws remain today, but if you don’t have the time and patience to hunt one down, 181-year-old toolmaker Disston is reintroducing its D-8 hand saw.\nThe earliest tools of measurement were nothing more than notches marked in a length of wood or stone, but evidence of measurement systems shows up in writings on cuneiform tablets from ancient Sumer roughly 6,000 years ago, says Saridakis. Ancient Egypt had the first known standard measure, the royal cubit (about 21 inches), based on the length of an early pharaoh’s arm from elbow to middle fingertip. Inscribed wood rods—the first rulers—used to measure out the royal cubit and its fractions still survive after roughly 3,000 years.\nThe next great leap in handheld measuring tools didn’t arrive until the 1820s with the spring-back measuring tape, though it still required a large, donut-shaped carrying case. The first truly pocket-size tape measure arrived in 1963 with the Stanley PowerLock. That design is so rugged and reliable that Stanley still uses it—and we’re still using our PowerLocks.\nPlace the tape’s hook where you’ll be making the cut. Put the tip of the utility knife blade against the hook and pinch the blade there with your thumb. Your other hand goes at the end of the drywall, pinching the appropriate-length measurement on the tape. From there you move both hands at the same time, drawing the knife and tape down the drywall with consistent downward pressure. Crack off the piece of drywall and cut the paper on the other side to release it.\nFew tools still used the world over were so perfect at inception that they remain largely unchanged. Yet some of the early needles from around 27,000 years ago could absolutely put a button back on your flannel today. The sewing needle was also a key technology that set humans apart from Neanderthals, who never discovered or adopted the tool. Back then, sewing allowed our ancestors to build weathertight shelters from animal hides and create warmer, less-drafty clothes for our long procession around the globe. A starter pack for this auspicious tool, like the Singer Assorted Hand Needles, may not fit in with the rest of the implements in your toolbox, but it deserves a spot next to it. And about that button you’ve been meaning to reattach…\nStarting at the inside of the shirt, poke the needle through the fabric and thread it through the button. Bring the needle downward and thread it through the diagonal opposite hole and the shirt. Repeat three times, then do the same on the other two holes. Once the button is secure, poke the needle up through the fabric at its base. Loop the thread around the stitching underneath the button six times. Then poke the needle through that stem sideways three times and cut to secure it.\nA.C.

They were established by two Quaker families, the Foxes of Falmouth and the Prices, who had worked with James Watt at Falkirk. They brought Cornish technical expertise in casting and engineering to this part of south Wales. As you walk from the abbey to the main road, straight ahead of you is Ty Mawr, the ironmasters’ house, built by Peter Price in 1801. A plaque commemorates Joseph Tregelles Price, founder of the Peace Society.\nThere is now no entrance to the ironworks from the main road, though you can peer through the gates of the builders’ yard and see the engine manufactory and the great masonry furnaces. Turn right up Longford Road. To your right is the charging platform for one of the iron furnaces. Just after the railway viaduct, a path goes down to your right towards the old tramroad bridge across the Clydach.The parapet of the bridge is made from carved blocks of copper slag which probably came from the works in the abbey. Under the bridge is a weir which would have held water back to power the iron works. You can turn right again before the bridge for a closer look at the iron works.\nThe most impressive part of the ruins are the late eighteenth-century furnaces, two of the highest masonry blast furnaces ever constructed. The casting houses which would have stood in front of them have gone, but you can still the line of the railway which would have taken materials to the charging houses at the top of the furnaces.\nA little further on, the roofless building to the right of the entrance, behind the ironmasters’ house, is the shell of the engine manufactory. A projecting wing of this building extended towards the Clydach river and a water wheel powered by a leat from higher up the stream drove a series of machines. Much of the machinery for the works was made on site. There were two cylinder-boring workshops on the ground floor of this building, a fitting shop and smithy. Upstairs was the pattern-makers’ workshop.\nOpposite the furnaces and almost completely overgrown (you can just see them in winter) are the ruins of the forge with its water-wheel housing. Here there was a wrought iron bar and tinplating mill.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

These are cyclone dust collectors and they come in many shapes and sizes. If you are curious how they work or are wondering which one will be the right one for your process, read on.\nHOW THEY WORK\nCyclone dust collectors filter dust by utilizing centrifugal, buoyant and drag force. When dust laden air enters the cyclone at a controlled speed, the heaver dust particles are forced to the outside of the cyclone wall. This friction allows the dust particles to drop to the bottom of the cyclone into a collection device. The spinning air creates a secondary vortex in the middle of the cyclone that that exhausts the clean air out the top. Cyclones operate at various efficiencies depending on factors such as height to width ratio, water pressure drop, cfm and inlet type.\nMost cyclone collectors never operate at peak efficiency. In order to reach maximum efficiency, all the factors mentioned above need to measured precisely and the cyclone manufactured to the specifications based on those measurements. If designing a new system, these measurements can be estimated closely with a knowledgeable engineer and precise measurements of duct length runs and sizes. However, the expense of manufacturing a custom cyclone collector to match these measurements is cost prohibitive. Instead, purchasers should look for a cyclone that shows efficiency based on CFM to water pressure drop and choose the appropriate cyclone for their application.\nEfficient cyclones are capable of filtering 90% of particulate down to 15 microns. Options for collecting more particulate may consist of adding an additional cyclone in a series increasing the efficiency an additional 90%, making the total efficiency 99% down to 15 microns. If smaller particulate size is the issue for additional filtration, a bag house filtration system can added to a single cyclone or after the secondary cyclone.\nTHE INVOLUTE INLET\nThe involute inlet is an important part of any cyclone dust collection system. The involute initiates the cyclonic action of the dust laden air when entering the dust collector. This allows the clean air vortex to exhaust without the disruption of particulate entering the cyclone. Without this feature, dust laden air would enter the cyclone directly into the exhaust vortex removing much of the efficiency.\nDO YOUR HOMEWORK\nIf you are in the market for a cyclone dust collector, there are some steps you can take to insure you obtain the efficiency that you require for your application. Know your CFM requirement. This is calculated by knowing how much airflow you require at each pickup point within your system. This can be a single pickup point or several. Know your water pressure drop. This is calculated by understanding how much force it will take to move the air at the CFM you require. If these calculations are beyond your knowledge, make sure to hire an engineer who is knowledgeable in dust collection or a dust collector manufacturer that has the engineering experience and willingness to assist you in making these important calculations.\nOne of the latest trends in down draft benches is the addition of return air flow, also called air-makup. The idea is that re-directing the exhaust air back toward the bench will force more particulate down toward the filers, thus increasing the amount of dust that can be collected. There are several reasons why this is a bad idea.\nStandard filters used in these systems are capable of filtering up to 99% of dust down to 1/2 micron, which is excellent. However, the 1% of dust that makes it through the filter is typically dispersed throughout the ambient environment to expose workers to safe levels of the dust. By redirecting the exhaust air back at the worker, the contaminated air is concentrated around the worker at the table. Additionally, this is air with the most dangerous dust. At 1/2 micron or less, the dust is easily ingested by the worker and is easily absorbed by the body.\nThe best scenario for airflow at the work deck is to pull ambient air into the system. The less disruption to this airflow the more efficient the equipment will be in capturing dust. The disruption caused by the return air flow blowing can create “eddys” (just like in a river) around the worker and/or the material being processed on the bench. This again can lead to the worker being exposed to higher dust levels.\nIt turns out that return air flow is an add on expense that just doesn’t make sense. It sounds like a nice option and it allows manufactures to under power the equipment to achieve a higher FPM (feet per minute) at the deck.

Tornado TXE high efficiency cyclones are some of the most maintenance free dust collectors available. With no moving parts other than the motor and no filters to replace, they will provide years of low-maintenance, reliable service.\nFor applications involving particulate below 15 microns, optional after-filter assemblies are also available. Polyester Felt Bags provide standard efficiencies of 96% down to 5 micron. Alternate filtration media can also be used to further increase particle collection efficiency—including HEPA for 99.97% to .3 micron.\nOur Involute Inlet\nCentrifugal force causes heavier dust particles to move outward toward the cyclone wall. Friction and gravity then force the dust to fall into a receiver. Cleaned air spirals up the center vortex of the cyclone and exits at the top.\nIt is extremely important that the vortex that forms in the center of the cyclone and exits the exhaust is not contaminated by particulate entering the cyclone. The ProVent TORNADO TXE prevents this by initiating centrifugal force in the inlet forcing particulate to the outside of the cyclone prior to entering the cyclone. This is known in the industry as an involute inlet and makes ProVent dust collectors the most efficient in the industry.\nTornado TXE and TXEF are the best designed, built and efficient cyclone dust collectors on the market.\nCyclones can be utilized on a number of different applications. Volume (CFM), pressure (wg), and velocity (FPM) all impact performance. ProVent can help you make the proper selection based on your specific application.\nContact your ProVent agent today!\nProVent will be happy to assist in the precise sizing of your fan assembly. There are many factors other than CFM that will deter-mine the equipment size and fan package that will be needed to meet your performance requirements.

We do not provide standard designs which may require oversizing equipment to meet your CFM requirements.\nMany manufacturing and processing facilities have operations that expose their employees to dangerous levels of airborne contaminants. The installation of proper process ventilation systems can save companies from the hassle of dealing with OSHA citations.\nIndustrial ventilation is necessary to ensure clean air standards are met for the health and safety of industrial and manufacturing employees. This is of particular importance for industries involving toxic chemicals, flammable vapors and debris, welding fumes, solvent vapors, oil mists, and unwanted affluent of all kinds. Industrial ventilation typically involves installing systems to supply and exhaust ventilation to control emissions, exposure, and chemical dangers in the workplace environment. Installing ventilation systems, such as downdraft benches, oil mist collectors, and dust collection booths are much easier and cost effective for industrial companies than some of the alternatives such as process changes and chemical or material substitutions or eliminations. When employees are exposed to dangerous levels of chemicals, dust, flammable vapors, and other air contaminants, OSHA requires that the employers take steps to reduce exposure to safer levels.\nThe design and troubleshooting of industrial ventilation systems should be handled by a qualified ventilation engineer or companies specializing in the field through an onsite inspection of a company’s process ventilation needs. An inspection such as this can save a company thousands of dollars by preventing improper equipment selection and system design by staff in a hurry to bring their facility up to OSHA standards.\nSome industries require very specialized ventilation systems. Oil mist collectors are required for industries that have airborne process oil and coolant from industrial machining operations such as vehicle and vehicle parts manufacturing. Oil mist collectors are particularly easy to fit into existing operations. Another more specialized type of ventilation system are a down draft bench systems which are self-contained ventilated workstations. These are particularly useful for hand grinding, sanding, and deburring operations. Down draft bench systems are also excellent choices for mixing and weighing operations, as well as, sparking operations or combustible metal processing and fiberglass finishing operations. When the process requires a larger area, dust collection booths are more appropriate. These are also useful for grinding, deburring, sanding, and polishing operations.\nMany industrial ventilation manufacturers and installers offer jobsite consultations to determine the best ventilation equipment and systems are best for a particular facility. These engineers can help decide if a company should choose equipment such as oil mist collectors, down draft benches, or dust collection booths are best for their type of facility.\nSee www.proventilation.com for more information on industrial ventilation systems and oil mist collectors, down draft benches, and dust collection booths.\nThe Wet-Type dust collection market has been steadily growing over the past ten years for several reasons. Companies’ awareness of NFPA Guidelines has increased over this time period and they now realize that wet-type dust collection is a worthy and often necessary investment for their operation. The risk of a fire and the consequences which include significant production down time, employee injury or even death makes wet-type dust collection necessary in certain applications.\nNFPA 484 is the Standard for Combustible Metals. This standard applies to the production, processing, finishing, handling, recycling, storage, and use of all metals and alloys that are in a form that is capable of combustion or explosion, as well as to operations where metal or metal alloys are subjected to processing or finishing operations that produce combustible powder or dust. (www.nfpa.org/484). If your process involves aluminum, titanium, magnesium, zirconium, tantalum, and/or niobium, NFPA 484 pertains to you. In most instances a wet type dust collection system is preferred for rendering these combustible materials inert. There are no expensive filters to replace, no chemical isolation systems to re-charge. While dry filtration systems become less effective as their filters load with dust, orifice impingement wet systems do not.\nThe cost of outfitting dry filtration systems with appropriate passive and active controls to comply with NFPA requirements has become prohibitively expensive. Passive controls involve special explosion vents and ducting to control pressure and to direct and extinguish flames. Active controls involve pressure/flame detection, and chemical isolation and extinguishing systems. These systems need to be regularly checked and re-charged, adding further to the cost of a dry filtration system. Wet collectors simply do not require these systems because the combustion hazard is removed immediately when the process material enters the water scrub.\nThere are two main types of wet-type dust collectors. The orifice / impingement design and the internal / venturi design. The O/I design utilizes a large cone-shaped orifice and an impingement plate that resides inside and on top of the cone. This creates an extremely efficient “scrub”. The scrub is where the dust entering the collector is mixed with water and sinks to the bottom of the collector and is the most important part of removing particulate. The process works best when the water surface to air ratio is highest within the scrub, thus making the most water to particulate contact. The O/I design does this most efficiently by removing 95% particulate down to 3 micron with just 3” wg of pressure drop. Additionally, by utilizing a wide opening in the cone, the O/I design will never clog.\nA contributing factor increasing demand for wet-type dust collection is the increased use of materials suited for wet-type dust collection in products being manufactured. Aluminum and Titanium are the two most common metals where processes that create dust need to be rendered inert in a wet-type collection system. From aerospace to golf clubs, these metals are turning up in our products more often.\nOther emerging markets for wet collection include food processing and pharmaceutical industries. Wet dust collection systems are used very effectively when process dust is water soluble and biodegradable. The wet system effectively captures dust where it is thoroughly scrubbed out of the air, dissolves, then simply drains away. There is no combustion hazard. There no exposure to workers by contaminated filters and little down time wasted by filter changes. Processing this way is less expensive and reduces a company’s environmental impact by avoiding costly trips to the land-fill with dirty filters. We have seen a move in this direction just in the past year. More and more companies are beginning to see that these simple advantages add up to significant savings and public relations advantages over time.\nCurrently, about half of the wet-type dust collectors we manufacture are stainless steel. Companies in the food processing industry are finding uses for wet-type dust collection and require the sanitary benefits of stainless steel for their applications. Stainless steel also increases the life of the dust collector approximately 70% making it an attractive option for companies willing to spend a little more money now and reap the benefits later.\nLooking forward, companies are increasingly utilizing wet-type dust collection for unique applications that, we as a manufacturer, never considered. Recently a company had a process that created dust with a sticky residue. They were constantly replacing cartridge filters in their very large dry collection system. The ductwork required frequent cleaning and production needed to be halted during these maintenance operations. The process dust tested to be soluble and biodegradable and they are in the process of replacing a large dry cartridge dust collection system with a wet-type dust collection system. This solution will save the company hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance and production down-time in the coming years.\nWet-type dust collectors have been around since the late 1930’s. However, with today’s highly technical processes and materials, the benefits of wet-type dust collection is just beginning to be realized. Configurations such as piped systems, booth systems and down draft bench systems has allowed wet-type dust collection to be available for a wide range of processes. This, together with the small footprint requirements, elimination of expensive ductwork, and low maintenance requirements will continue to make wet-type dust collection more popular than ever in the coming years.\nJames K. Will,\nSenior Sales Engineer\nHarbor Springs, Michigan, USA\nIf there is too much dust in the workplace, it can cause many problems and the most serious is the short and long term health problems. Not only does dust make the place all messy and dusty, but also means you and your employees are breathing in harmful particles. The problems usually start off by allergic reactions and can turn into major respiratory problems. Also, a large amount of dust at work interrupts machinery and causes several malfunctions, which can result in a costly experience for you. However, the solution to your problems are dust collection booths.\nWhat They Are\nDust collection booths are ideal pieces of equipment for workplaces that produce both a small and large amount of dust. They are perfect systems for those who wish to have a healthier and safer work environment. A dust collection booth is directly setup inside the workplace and controls the dust.\nWhat They Offer\nDust collection booths offer a high level of control for dust, pollutants and dangerous particles that can be harmful to both the equipment and employees. With one of these systems in place, all pollutants are removed from the workplace, which results in cleaner air both inside and out.\nA dust booth works perfectly well with dangerous materials, especially if a wet filter dust collection system is included. A dust booth is designed to work with dusts that are potentially explosive and provides a safe collection of the materials, as well as clean air that is OSHA and NFPA approved.\nThere is a huge variety of dust booths and these include the wet-type dust collection model, flood curtain booths, and the environmental work cell. The environmental booth is specifically for projects that involve sanding, finishing operations, chemical mixing, welding, and grinding of tools. A flood curtain booth suits projects like deburring, hand sanding, media blasting, and metal spraying. Lastly, the wet-type booths are designed for dangerous materials.\nWhen selecting the dust booth for your workplace, it is important you consider the materials you work with. Speaking to an expert prior to choosing the final system is recommended, and ensures you make the right choice.\nWorking with metal and wood results in the release of harmful dust particles into the atmosphere, which is dangerous to the workers’ health. Continuous exposure to these particles means your employees will be breathing in the dust, which can lead to both short and long term health problems. In order to maintain the health and safety of your employees in the workplace, downdraft tables must be in place. They are made to solve the problem and controldust by cleaning the air, and give you a healthier and safer work environment.\nWhat They Do\nDowndraft tables give workstations a built-in ventilation system that is intended to catch and filter fumes, smoke, and dust. The air that gets filtered is driven back into the environment, which eliminates energy loss and any need for costly in-house exhaust systems.\nDowndraft tables are highly efficient in controlling dust from buffing and sanding, which is caused in woodworking places. Metal workers can also benefit from a downdraft table, as their work can result in the production of large amounts of highly toxic dust. These systems are also a must for workstations dealing with composites, welding and plastics.\nA downdraft table is made from high quality materials, which helps it to resist a multitude of tasks. You will find they come in numerous types, which includes portable cartridge, cartridge, wet, stationary tables, and walk-around ventilated. The one you choose highly depends on the materials that you work with.\nBecause of the huge variety in types and sizes, you will always find the ideal ventilation that is suitable for your workplace. This ventilation system can increase both yours and employees’ health, as it will limit the exposure to the harmful dust particles and offer you cleaner and purer air to breathe in.\nA downdraft table is a multipurpose way to protect employees and easily meets the safety standards set forth by industries. You will be provided with a reliable and safe workstation, which you employees can safely work in.\nSpeaking to someone who specializes in industrial air collection will always help with selecting the setup that will work best for your industry.\nFactories that produce heavy dust particles require a dust collector system in place, so employees can breathe in clean and pure air at all times. Also, with one of these systems in place, machinery functions well and lasts longer. Dust collection booths also help limit dust into a closed area and safely trap it inside a closed space for easy removal. When it comes to dust collection booths, there are many available, and the most common ones are listed below.\nFlood curtain booth\nThese are used mainly when working with metal spraying, media blasting and hand sanding. They require the use of water, which is stored in a tank in order to flood a stainless steel vertical wall, where the procedure affluent is absorbed. Flood curtain booths can use roof and wall panels to trap extra dust and they can also contain illumination for the booth.\nEnvironmental Work Cells\nThese are used in numerous working conditions, which include welding, sanding, chemical mixing, powder coating and grinding. They are made from 12-gauge all linked construction that is high quality. Environmental work cells incorporate pleated cellulose cartridge filters with high efficiency fan assemblages, and feature dust drawers; these are easy to access from inside the booth.\nWet-Type Dust Collection\nThe last of the dust collection booths is the wet-type dust collection. This requires a formation of blowers to power dust particles and pollutants against a series of water walls. The water walls wet the airborne pollutants and trap them away from workers and machinery. These are mostly used for sanding operations, deburring, and grinding. They are made from solid-fused heavy sheet steel and come in the availability of numerous sizes.\nA dust collection booth is used to capture particles and other pollutants that can affect workers’ health in the workplace. Another thing that can be affected by the continuous dust is the machinery in the workplace, as the constant exposure of dust means it eventually builds-up and causes malfunctions in the equipment, which means more repairs. This device saves companies and industries a lot of money, as they don’t have to repair machinery often and because the worker’s health is better, they will also perform efficiently. Save the health of your employees and your expensive equipment with this ventilation system.\nDowndraft benches allow a more comfortable practice with collection of dust in your factory or office. They have many other advantages apart from just taking care of all the dust and these are listed below.\nDowndraft benches feature special filters that let you clean up dust from almost any type of work setting. They are well-known for this feature and the whole process is a breeze, one you know how.\nHow It Works\nA downdraft bench system filters out the air within your work or office space and returns the cleaned air into the floor. This means you will always be free from hazardous particles and dust, which are both dangerous for health. Downdraft benches also save a lot of power, which is a brilliant factor to help you cut down on energy costs.\nHow Downdraft Systems Benefit Employees\nOnce this system enters an office, it increases employees’ work performance, which is due to the much healthier environment they will be working in. Employees become more efficient workers, as they can breathe in air that is both pure and clean, which has a healthy effect and lessens absent rates.\nHowever, there’s more! As well as benefiting employees, this system also benefits machinery as it is less likely to rust, dust and stop functioning. Machinery also needs taking care of and if you have well-functioning machinery, this results in little wear and tear and fewer repair costs.\nOverall, a downdraft bench system decreases working costs and increases profit by helping your workers perform better. You are also saved on power costs and the whole procedure is hands free. This means it requires less manual effort.\nThe durable system is made of stainless steel, which is the kind that doesn’t rust. Before creating these tools, the material used was both tried and tested. With the help of this system, you can easily clean fumes and dust from your work setting and reduce the risk these particles can have on the health. These systems are a must for all industries and are really helpful tools, which should not be overlooked.\nPollution is a common factor in today’s environment and it is vital to find a system that will help to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. Not only will a system like this help us in personal activities, but will also do the society a huge favor. The only way to achieve this goal of maintaining a pollution-free and environmentally friendly environment is with downdraft benches.\nDowndraft benches are specifically designed workstations or tables with ventilation that enables them to filter out the contaminants and return clean air to the environment, including your workspace. Downdraft benches come in various sizes, which allows you to browse through a variety of options and choices before you select the final one. These systems can be used on various applications, and can even clean up building or fused materials that have been wasted or used.\nOne of the first things that will change is the quality of air that is breathed in by you and your employees. This workstation also increases efficiency of both your industry employees and machinery. If the air is cleaner, your employees will be breathing in pure air, which results in better performance, less illnesses; therefore, less absence rates. Also, the machinery in your business will stay well-maintained as the excess dust will be sucked up by the downdraft bench, which results in less wear and tear of theequipment.\nThe filtration system in a downdraft bench saves energy, which means you will never face a heavy electricity bill because of this system. Also, if the contaminants are filtered away from any machinery in your industry, they will not be clogged and will function well and last longer.\nThe downdraft tables will not only clean your work environment, but also raise the effectiveness of your machinery. The majority of these tables work on filters that are easily maintained, and these also don’t need replacing so soon. Again, this will save you money.\nTo sum it all up, these downdraft tables have many advantages, which will always improve the health and safety of you, your employees and your equipment.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The second is extreme energy efficiency. He Wenbo said that low-carbon development should start from the foundation and start from the data. Since its official launch in December last year, the extreme energy efficiency work has been progressing smoothly, and more and more enterprises have entered the ranks of energy efficiency standards. The third is to launch the work plan for the revision and upgrading of China's steel carbon neutral vision and technology roadmap, including the deployment and implementation of breakthrough cutting-edge low-carbon technologies, to keep pace with the green development of steel in the world. The fourth is to improve the environmental product declaration (EPD) platform of the steel industry, achieve the effective accumulation and openness of environmental data of the industry, and actively promote international mutual recognition. Fifth, accelerate the research process of low-carbon emission steel standards, and play China's role in the process of green development of steel in the world.\nHe Wenbo believes that the three forces from \"government requirements, standard constraints and user orientation\" have prompted the steel industry to accelerate the development of green steel (low carbon emission steel or near-zero carbon steel) in the green transformation. To be specific, the first is the request of governments, including China and other governments and international organizations; The second is the standard constraint, including all kinds of newly created and emerging new standards; The third is user-oriented, from some leading industries and leading enterprises at home and abroad. \"The steel industry is the main force for China's economy and society to achieve comprehensive green transformation, and China's steel industry should actively pursue the road of carbon neutrality.\" He Wenbo said.\nChina's steel development environment faces three challenges\nHe Wenbo introduced that the current development environment of China's steel industry faces at least three challenges:\nFirst, the market pressure, the market environment has changed. He Wenbo said that the steel industry in developed countries has gone through such a stage decades ago, has basically adapted, and our way of thinking has not really jumped out of the environment of continuous expansion of the market, coupled with the concentration of China's steel industry is still significantly low, this \"soft and hard\" two significant defects on the efficient operation and high-quality development of China's steel industry has formed constraints.\nSecond, environmental pressure, environmental requirements have changed. \"The global steel industry, including China, is vigorously promoting low-carbon transformation, but China's steel industry is implementing the dual tasks of reducing pollution and carbon simultaneously.\" He Wenbo said.\nThe third is cost pressure, the basis of competition has changed. He Wenbo believes: \"Although China's steel through continuous reform and transformation continue to improve efficiency and improve costs, but the gradual increase in labor costs and environmental costs is an inevitable trend, the era of relying on costs to win the world has passed.\"\nFaced with challenges, innovation is the only way to go. \"So we say, innovation is not easy, but there is no alternative. And it requires not only technological innovation and management innovation, but also institutional innovation and governance innovation, which is a challenge for business management and industrial governance of the government.\" He Wenbo stressed.\n\"Although facing the above challenges, China's huge market base and the upgrading of demand in new downstream areas and the comprehensive improvement of the environment have provided a new development foundation for the development of steel, as well as the talent group accumulated in the long-term rapid development of the steel industry, which is a solid foundation and reliable guarantee for us to overcome difficulties and cope with challenges.\" He Wenbo said.\nThe transformation of the steel industry is essentially a green transformation\n\"The 'three processes' of urbanization, marketization and internationalization have achieved the world status of China's steel industry, and the two constraints of resources and environment have forced the rapid transformation of China's steel industry.\" He Wenbo shared his three insights on the overall transformation of China's steel industry.\nFirst, the transformation of the steel industry is essentially a green transformation. \"This is determined by the fundamental role of the steel industry in the national economic system and the high-load energy characteristics of the industry itself.\" He Wenbo said, \"The green low-carbon steel through and cover the whole process, the whole industry, everywhere in the use of steel, if the steel is not transformed, the entire industrial system is difficult to achieve green low-carbon.\"\nSecond, the fundamental question of green low-carbon transformation is at what cost to achieve the transformation goal. \"The degree to which steel is carbon neutral is also determined by the cost tolerance. Various low-carbon technologies are constantly being developed, whether they have vitality and whether they are accepted by the industry depends on the balance between technical possibility and economic feasibility. How to achieve the green transformation of the steel industry under the premise of effectively fulfilling the industrial mission and continuously maintaining and enhancing the industrial competitiveness is a major issue we must face.\" He Wenbo said.\nThird, the green transformation of the steel industry is a systematic project, a social project, not only the steel industry itself. He Wenbo proposed that on the basis of the existing policy framework, a package of overall transformation plans that can fully support industrial transformation and effectively support the realization of national climate goals should be planned.\nIt is necessary to correctly understand and handle the eight relationships of steel layout\nIn order to cope with the future complex situation, He Wenbo proposed that it is necessary to correctly understand and deal with the eight relationships of steel layout. These eight relationships can be briefly summarized as \"more and less, big and small; In and out, inside and out; Sea and land, long and short; The relationship between country and people, iron and carbon.\n\"More and less\" refers to the more and less production capacity relative to demand, and studies the most basic supply and demand relationship in the market economy, discussing production and consumption, supply and demand. The frequently mentioned problem is how to deal with \"overcapacity\" and the goal of pursuing \"supply and demand balance\". In the long cycle of rapid growth and continuous expansion of steel demand, China's steel has strongly supported the rapid development of China's economy with its strong and rich production capacity. With the increasing maturity of the national economic system and the changes in the industrial structure and consumption structure, the trend of continuous growth of the total social steel consumption has changed periodically. The main contradiction in the industry has shifted to how to meet the limited steel demand with sufficient steel production capacity. There are many ways to solve the imbalance between supply and demand, and both governments and enterprises can make a difference, but the experience of the steel industry in developed countries over the decades shows that this will be a difficult process and a historical stage that must be passed, and we must have a clear understanding of this. He Wenbo said that our current task is to do our best to create a \"new mechanism for production capacity management\", give play to the institutional advantages of China's socialist market economy, and adapt to this historic change in supply and demand in as short a time as possible.\nHe Wenbo further explained that the new mechanism of production capacity governance we are talking about is: the gradual formation of both environmental, energy efficiency, carbon emission policy constraints, industry self-discipline, government supervision, in line with the law of the market, conducive to the transformation and upgrading of oriented industries and the survival of the fittest, guaranteed, flexible supply and demand balance adjustment of the new mechanism.\n\"Big and small\" refers to the size of the enterprise relative to the size of the market, the study is the degree and way of industrial concentration on the market order and fair competition, fair trade. He Wenbo said that it is clear that China's steel is still in a state of excessive dispersion and industrial concentration is obviously low, and further measures need to be taken to vigorously promote the joint reorganization of enterprises, which is the key to all problems. Therefore, \"Creating a new mechanism for capacity governance\" and \"optimizing new policies for joint restructuring\" are listed by the association as the two basic initiatives for the steel industry to span the market cycle.\n\"In and out.\" \"In and out.\" \"These two relations are closely related issues, two sides of the same problem of internationalization and globalization, which mainly study the investment and trade policies of countries and the international business behavior of enterprises.\" He Wenbo specifically mentioned that due to the previously mentioned resource constraints and environmental constraints, China's steel does not have the conditions to maintain a high proportion of exports, but must encourage and support the export of high value-added products, steel enterprises must be encouraged to develop long-term cooperative relations with downstream leading enterprises on a global scale, which is an important source of power for enterprises to continue to maintain technological innovation.\nHe Wenbo believes that there are three driving forces for product exports, one is market-driven, the second is supply chain driven, and the third is industrial investment driven. The market drive is mainly price driven, while the investment drive depends on the investment intensity of the steel and downstream industries in the countries where they are invested. The export of high value-added products highlighted above currently mainly refers to the export of products driven by the supply chain. In recent years, the product structure of China's steel exports has been continuously optimized, reflecting the results of the overall technological progress of the steel industry, but the international market competition is fierce, various tariff and non-tariff barriers and trade discrimination are increasingly common, and it is crucial to strive for and create a fair competitive environment for Chinese enterprises.\nIn his speech, He Wenbo also talked about how to implement the key work idea of \"continuously promoting the internationalization process of China's steel\" proposed by the industry and the work arrangement for next year, and combined with various problems and suggestions put forward in the recent exchanges and communication between the association's leaders and various international organizations, and put forward relevant suggestions on the principles of overseas green steel investment.\n\"Sea and land,\" \"long and short.\" He Wenbo said: \"These two topics study the spatial layout and process layout of the steel industry, discussing the layout of steel in the coast and inland, and the layout of long and short processes.\"\nHe Wenbo revealed that as of now, the steel production capacity within 100 kilometers near the coastline has reached 380 million tons, and with the production of some projects under construction, the coastal steel production capacity will reach 400 million tons. According to the requirements of the coastal steel layout issued by the national ministries and commissions, we believe that the purpose of adjusting the layout of the coastal steel production base has been achieved and the task has been completed. He Wenbo believes that with the development and utilization of inland resources and renewable energy more and more attention, according to the perspective of \"economic, ecological, and safety three-dimensional dynamic assessment\", the value of some inland steel should also be re-recognized.\nAt present, the short process production capacity of electric furnaces accounts for 16.7%, and the actual crude steel output in 2022 accounts for 9.5%, indicating that the actual input rate of electric furnaces production capacity is low, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Steel Association have further promoted the application of short process as a key work topic. He also mentioned in particular that the current concept of long process and short process can not fully cover the layout of the process of steel, including hydrogen reduction, including some new low-carbon processes have been developed, iron and steel processes have brought different combinations of new changes in the process, it is necessary to pay attention to the new development of such third processes.\n\"Nation and people,\" \"Iron and carbon.\" \"State and people\" refers to the proportion and combination form of state-owned capital and private capital in the steel industry, that is, the capital layout problem in the steel field. \"This is not a problem unique to the steel industry, is beyond steel issues, here will not be discussed in detail, but the capital layout and spatial layout, process layout, is an important part of the layout of the steel industry.\" He Wenbo went on to say that \"iron and carbon\" is not an independent issue, but is almost related to the above issues, and can be divided into broad \"iron and carbon\" and narrow \"iron and carbon\".\nHe further explained that the broad definition of \"iron and carbon\" refers to how to deal with the relationship between steel production and carbon reduction. \"This is also an important issue that has attracted more and more attention and weight in the development and planning of steel in recent years, and has more and more substantial impact on the long-term development and overall layout of the steel industry.\" 'he said.\nHe Wenbo introduced that the narrow \"iron and carbon\" study is the specific \"iron cycle\" and \"carbon cycle\". In particular, he spoke of rethinking the \"carbon cycle\". Everyone is relatively familiar with the iron cycle, but the understanding of the carbon footprint accompanying the iron cycle is far from enough, as the new low-carbon process is gradually clear, the acquisition and supply of iron resources and its product form, including steel and mining industry boundaries will change. The \"Cornerstone Plan Upgrade\" proposed by the Association is mainly to propose an updated version of iron resource solutions in response to this new change. In this sense, the \"Cornerstone Plan\" is not only a resource guarantee plan, but also an industrial chain cooperation plan, and a future-oriented green resource development plan.\n\"In the face of complex economic situation and volatile international situation, we must adhere to systematic thinking, overall planning, complete and accurate comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, look at the direction, maintain strategic focus, and jointly promote the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry and high-quality development.\" He Wenbo said.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

If you recall, we don’t own a car. In small towns in this part of México, a golf cart is sometimes called a carrito, and functions for many, such as Jon and me, as a little battery-operated car. We depend on our golf cart to get us to the mini-supermarket, produce stand, and meat market to shop once or twice a week. It hauls three loads of laundry in the three blue Rubbermaid totes strapped to the back when we drive it to the lavandería once or twice a week. We load our paddleboard onto the custom top rack and our beach gear on the back when we head to the beach for some Stand Up Paddleboarding. This inexpensive vehicle does a lot of work for us.\n|Three Rubbermaid Totes & a Cargo Net Hauls a Lot of Stuff|\nWhat could be wrong? Jon was faithful about filling the six battery water reservoirs with distilled water. He always charged the batteries after every trip to town. When we got home that day, he tested the batteries with his volt meter and found one of the six well-used batteries was no longer holding a charge. We didn’t have it in our budget to buy six new 6-volt deep-cell batteries at the time. So, Jon asked around at a couple of golf cart rental places in town to see if he could buy one used battery to get us by. There were none to be found. We decided we would pick up a used battery while we were in the U.S. and hope that would fix our power issue.\n|We Were Back to Riding Bikes to Town Again|\nWe really missed our carrito! But, there was nothing more we could do for it until we returned from our travels to Oregon. We unplugged it from the battery charger, covered it with a tarp to protect it during the rainy season in Nayarit, and called a taxi to take us to our motorhome. We knew when we returned in the fall, golf cart repairs would be a high priority.\nWhen we returned from Oregon, Jon had a “new” used battery and wasted no time installing it and attaching the charger to the carrito. But, the six batteries would not come to full charge. It was time to find a golf cart repairman. I had remembered one of my Facebook friends, Gabe, had recently posted a photo and information about a golf cart expert who works at two golf courses in the Riviera Nayarit. So, I did some digging on Facebook (what a wealth of information that social media provides!) and found his name and phone number.\n|Ari and His Wife Checking the Batteries|\nAri then mentioned that the ball joints and brakes were badly worn, the steering was loose and mushy, the brakes barely functioning. He said that he could fix those, too. Jon said he knew they were in pretty poor condition and asked for a price to have them rebuilt. Ari gave him a fair price to do the work and came the next day as promised. He arranged his supply of parts and his tools and set to tearing the front end off of our golf cart. The poor, dirty thing looked pretty sad without its front tires and other key parts disassembled. When I looked at the disabled carrito propped up, sitting on its tires that were lying on their sides in the gravel, I thought, “That’s one way to jack up a vehicle. I guess that’s how they do it here in México.”\n|Ari Working on the Golf Cart's Ball Joints & Brakes|\n|Jon Straps the Paddleboard Onto the Carrito for a Trip to the Beach|\nNow for the bad news. The auto repair shop does not repair golf cart tires. Jon insisted that there had to be a way to fix it because we couldn’t get home otherwise. The young man thought about this for a few minutes, shook his head, and then wandered off, leaving Jon and me wondering what we were going to do next.\nA while later, he sauntered back to Jon with a full-sized automobile inner tube in his hand, deflated and old. He said, in Spanish, that he had an idea. We watched in amazement as he proceeded to pull the golf cart tire off, stuff the wad of tube into the tire, and reinstall it on the carrito. He then attached his air compressor to the tube stem and began adding air to the inner tube until it inflated just enough to fill the golf cart’s tire. Fixed! The amazing thing is that in the year since that ingenious repair job, the tire has never gone flat.\nOur carrito’s tires may be old and bald, but we don’t have to climb extremely steep hills. The tread is about gone and the batteries don’t have the power Jon would need to “peel out” anyway, so why change the tires yet. The Mexican way is to use things until they stop working, and then fix them so they will work a while longer.

It's important that these lines be accurately placed if you're trying to use the grid to transfer a thumbnail sketch you made, or represent proportion correctly when working from a photo. I happen to have studied a bit of drafting, and discovered a wonderful little tool used by draftsmen, sea captains, and metalworkers alike. It's a pair of dividers, sometimes called compass-dividers, the same thing as a compass with a second hard point instead of a pencil or pen. (You could use a regular compass for the following, but you may end up making some unwanted marks.)\nLet's say I need to divide a an 10” x 12” sheet of paper into a 3 by 5 block grid. I start by adjusting the legs of the dividers to approximate 1/3 of the 10” width of the paper; (by the way, there is a “proper” handhold for adjusting/using the dividers, but I generally don't bother with it). I then “walk” them along the 10” edge of the paper, twisting them back and forth with each step in the conventional way until I reach the corner; (see picture). Chances are, I won't hit the corner exactly on the first try, but I note by how much I overshot or undershot it; (see photos).\nThe last “step” of the dividers will tell the story. If the point has ended up hanging off the paper onto the drawing board, I note the distance between this point and the corner of the paper. I then close the dividers by approximately 1/3 of this distance and try again. If instead, I find I've closed them too far, I open them by about 1/3 of the shortfall. When the last \"step\" of the point touches the edge of the paper exactly, I walk them along the edge again, this time making a tiny pencil mark right next to each point as it comes down.\nIt makes sense to step off the other 10” edge at this time, while the dividers are set at the correct distance for it. After marking off the 12” edges in the same way, all that's left to be done is connect the lines with a ruler.\nAs with many tools, it takes a little patience to get the hang of it, but I still prefer it to trying to measure off thirds of an inch, or seeing if I can find an easier dividend for the length I'm dealing with, (which might produce sectors of less than ideal size).\nThere are some other possible artistic uses for this versatile tool, such as:\n- Dividing a picture into \"rule of thirds\" sectors.\n- Symmetrically locating fence posts.\n- Comparing elements within a picture, based on an arbitrary unit, such as “eye lengths” in a head-portrait, or “rocking-chair-heights” in a porch scene, (perhaps using two pairs; one for the painting, the other for the reference photo).", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

These windows have come a long way since their inception in the mid-20th century, and their evolution reflects the growing concern for safety and durability in construction.\nThe earliest hurricane windows were made of glass laminated with plastic, which could resist breaking when hit with a blunt object. This type of window was first developed in the 1950s, in response to the growing frequency of hurricanes and the resulting damage to homes and buildings. However, these early versions were heavy, expensive, and not very effective in protecting against high-speed winds.\nIn the 1970s, new manufacturing processes enabled the production of lighter, more affordable hurricane windows. These windows were made of multiple layers of tempered glass and plastic, and they could resist the force of a Category 3 hurricane (wind speeds of up to 129 miles per hour). These windows were an improvement over their predecessors, but they were still limited in their ability to protect against the most severe storms.\nThe 1990s saw a major breakthrough in the development of hurricane windows, with the introduction of interlayer technology. This technology involves placing a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between the layers of glass, which creates a strong, flexible bond that can absorb impact and prevent the glass from shattering. This innovation greatly increased the strength and durability of hurricane windows, making them more effective in protecting against Category 5 hurricanes (wind speeds of up to 157 miles per hour).\nToday, hurricane windows are an essential feature of homes and buildings in hurricane-prone regions, such as Florida and the Gulf Coast. They are designed to meet strict building codes and are tested for impact resistance using methods such as the Large Missile Impact Test and the Small Missile Impact Test. Hurricane windows come in a variety of styles and materials, including vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass, and can be customized to match the aesthetic of any home or building.\nIn addition to protecting against hurricane damage, hurricane windows offer other benefits as well. They can reduce energy costs by providing better insulation and reducing the amount of UV radiation that enters a building. They also offer improved sound insulation, which can be beneficial in noisy urban areas.\nIn conclusion, the history of hurricane windows reflects the ongoing efforts to improve safety and durability in construction. From the early laminated glass to the latest interlayer technology, hurricane windows have come a long way in protecting homes and buildings from the devastating effects of hurricanes. As the threat of severe storms continues to grow, these windows will undoubtedly continue to evolve and improve.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

And these have to be in tune with your swing speed, handicap, etc.\nNow golf balls are pretty much the same after all, it’s not just a round, tiny thing built out of nothing. Even though that’s what it looks like on the outside, there’s a lot of going on inside that is responsible for crucial factors like distance, spin, etc. And one such aspect of the construction is golf ball compression.\nIt’s the compression rating that categorizes golf balls as slow-swing-speed-friendly or Tour-grade.\nBut then you should also know that compression used to be more important a few decades ago. Now the scene has changed because not all golf ball manufacturing companies use the same standard for measuring compression ratings. So let’s get to know more about this and also about what the compression of a golf ball actually means.\nIn This Post\n- What Does Golf Ball Compression Really Mean?\n- How Does It Affect Your Game or How You Play?\n- But How Exactly Does A Golf Ball Produce More or Less Compression?\n- Who Do They Say That Compression Doesn’t Matter Anymore?\n- So What Compression Rating Works For YOU?\n- How Long Does Golf Ball Compression Last?\n- Does Your Swing Speed Decide Which Golf Ball to Choose?\n- What Role Does Weather Play In Golf Ball Compression?\n- How Is the Compression of Golf Balls Measured?\n- Do Lower Compression Golf Balls Travel Longer?\n- Who Should Be Using Low Compression Golf Balls?\n- Who Should Be Using High Compression Golf Balls?\n- How to Choose the Right Golf Ball for My Swing Speed?\n- What Compression of Golf Ball Works Best for Slow Swing Speed?\n- Are Higher Compression Golf Balls Better?\n- Should Beginners Use High Spin or Low Spin Golf Balls?\n- The End Is Here!\nWhat Does Golf Ball Compression Really Mean?\nWhen the clubface comes in contact with the golf ball, the latter is compelled forward by the former through compression. Your golf club literally sets the ball in motion by interacting with its core (the core is like an engine that carries the ball long distances) and simply compressing it on the point of impact.\nNow let me talk about how slow/fast you strike the golf ball. This would mean golfers with a fast swing speed can hit that ball harder at impact. Hence, higher compression of the golf ball, so it recoils properly without breaking apart because of the high-speed, hard impact.\nLow Compression Golf Balls\n80 compression golf balls or below are labeled as low compression. These have the softest core for a greater rebound at impact, which makes the balls travel much farther than their high-compression counterparts.\nBut then, comparatively speaking, you also cannot expect the former to create a straight flight path like the latter. Thus, control is not a part of a lower compression rating.\n- Soft-core golf balls.\n- Easily compressed, so no need to swing fast or hard for core activation.\n- With low compression, maximizing distance with a slow swing speed is very easy.\nHigh Compression Golf Balls\nThe opposite of low is high, which would mean these golf balls are played by the fastest and hardest hitters.\nThese are 100 compression golf balls that maximize accuracy above all else.\n- Hard-core golf balls.\n- Slow to compress, so a hard swing is required for core activation.\n- With high compression, you can maximize distance with a fast swing speed.\nMedium Compression Golf Balls\nHere the compression rating is about 90. And they give you the best of both worlds i.e. distance (of low compression) and control (of high compression).\n- Average core, standard golf balls.\n- Neither the softest nor the hardest feel, somewhere in between. Hence, fit for a wide range of golfers.\n- With medium compression, distance is maximized with an average or standard swing speed.\nHow Does It Affect Your Game or How You Play?\nIf you just apply simple logic, you’ll understand that fast-swing players compress the golf ball without even trying to do that. Therefore, it’s easy for them to achieve maximum distance because the ball jumps right off the clubface.\nOn the other hand, slow-swing golfers as it is struggle with their swing speed, so compressing the golf ball is a whole other problem for them. Thus, resorting to low compression golf balls is becoming more and more common these days since this type of construction helps to maximize every slow swingers’ distance potential.\nBut then if a high-speed player uses low compression, he/she cannot really benefit much (although it doesn’t necessarily hurt the game). It just means that all that extra speed and energy you have as a faster, more proficient golfer will only go to waste and not be utilized to its max limit by high compression.\nBut How Exactly Does A Golf Ball Produce More or Less Compression?\nIt All Depends On Your Swing Speed\nWhen your swing speed is faster, the clubface meets the golf ball with more force at the point of impact. So the ball compresses more, therefore high compression golf balls are a must.\nBy the same line of reasoning, one with a slower swing speed then requires a lower compression rating to make the golf ball compress like it should for yielding longer distances.\nGolf Ball Also Compresses More or Less Depending On Its Core (not cover)\nNaturally, a harder or firmer core compresses less while a softer core golf ball compresses more.\nSo what really happens when the ball compresses more? A higher level of energy is transferred to the golf ball from the clubface. The result of which is the ball springing off the face and generating maximum distance.\nAnd now here’s the other side of that explanation. When there’s less compression at impact, less energy is transferred to the golf ball. And that is exactly what fast-swing players look for. For them, hard-core golf balls are the best precisely because high-speed golfers don’t exactly need that additional energy transfer; they’re quite capable of producing that on their own because of their faster swing speed.\nNow please note that I’m referring to the core of the golf ball here, and not its cover. Many use both terms interchangeably and that could be misleading. Golf ball core and golf ball cover are two separate things. The inner core is the compression. And the cover is actually the very factor that determines its hardness, which has nothing to do with compression rating as much as it does with the feel of the ball.\nHard-cover golf balls are low in terms of feel with lower spin and green-stopping power.\nSoft-cover golf balls give you more feel with higher spin and green-stopping power.\nWho Do They Say That Compression Doesn’t Matter Anymore?\nI get why the compression rating of a golf ball has now become a sort of an outdated approach.\nSince we’re now living in the 21st century, golf clubs and golf balls have been subjected to SO MUCH technological advancement that there are many other traits besides compression in golf balls that can give you the upper hand. Technologies, materials, you name it!\nBecause Brands Hardly Mention Compression Ratings\nCompanies that now manufacture golf balls rarely reveal compression ratings. Instead, they focus more on informing golfers across all spectrums about modern manufacturing processes and the use of advanced materials, and stuff like that.\nSpeaking of which, modern-day golf balls, and this goes without saying, don’t feel the same anymore. As a Senior Tour player now, I can tell you for sure that they don’t. A 70 compression golf ball can now easily pass off as a 60 compression rating, in terms of “feel” of course.\nBecause There Isn’t Any Universal Compression Rating Test\nCompression ratings are not tested in any given manner. Every manufacturer out there uses its own rule or standard for testing the compression of golf balls. Here, let me explain.\nThe ball is subjected to static pressure, which causes it to deform. But then how much static load is applied? What is a standard load to begin with? Not every brand uses the same static load after all.\nBy that logic, golf balls with a compression rating of 60 from brand A can be the same as those with a 70 compression rating from brand B or a 55 compression rating from brand C.\nSo What Compression Rating Works For YOU?\nLow compression (80 or below) or high compression (100 or above)? Or something in the middle (around 90)? Well, it all depends on what your swing speed is. So have you measured your swing speed? If not, here’s to go about it.\nIf your swing speed is 85 mph or less\nThen you need low compression golf balls. Only a lower compression rating, at this point, allows you to achieve the extra distance or yardages you have in mind.\nIf your swing speed is between 85 mph and 104 mph\nChoose medium compression golf balls if you have an average swing speed. Because a lower compression rating will jeopardize control. And your swing speed isn’t fast or hard enough yet for a higher compression rating.\nIf your swing speed is 105 mph or more\nNothing works as perfectly as high compression golf balls. These give you good distance as well as control. Whereas mid or low compression, even though they may boost distance, is only going to produce too high launch and too much spin that you simply cannot control.\nI would also like to add here that the compression of a golf ball is not the only thing that determines the distance. Other factors like golf ball cover, core, mantle material, and dimple pattern also play a significant role.\nAlso, don’t be under the impression that golf balls that travel farther are always the right choice FOR YOU. Not every golfer, after all, prioritizes distance. For some, spin, flight, or feel are more important.\nHow Long Does Golf Ball Compression Last?\nGolf balls, in general, are fit to play for about 7 rounds of 18-hole golf. And when left unused (room temperature storage), they can preserve their original condition for around 10 years. The same can be said about the core and compression of golf balls.\nIf you ask me, losing your golf balls is more likely than they actually becoming obsolete over a period of time.\nDoes Your Swing Speed Decide Which Golf Ball to Choose?\nIf it were otherwise, I don’t think I would be writing this article for you. It’s precisely your swing speed that your whole golf ball selection is based on.\nGolfers with a slower swing speed need a lower compression rating to get the golf ball to spring harder off that clubface. Conversely, players with a faster swing speed use high compression to gain more control over the ball.\nWhat Role Does Weather Play In Golf Ball Compression?\nWhen the weather is cold, high compression golf balls are bound to feel as hard as a rock. So it’s best, at such times, to use low compression golf balls to make way for more flexibility off the clubface.\nAs it is in cold weather, compression apparently decreases. So it only makes sense to choose a lower compression rating.\nHow Is the Compression of Golf Balls Measured?\nIt’s the extent to which a golf ball is compressed when a certain weight or load is applied to it. The compression ratings start from zero and go all the way up to 200.\nWhen the compression is at zero, it means that the golf ball compresses the most at two-tenth of an inch. While 200 implies no compression at all. Each compression point, by the way, is equal to 1/1000th of an inch.\nDo Lower Compression Golf Balls Travel Longer?\nA lower compressing rating means the golf ball is easily compressed, hence greater transfer and release of energy at impact. As a result of which the ball certainly travels farther in comparison to higher compression.\nWho Should Be Using Low Compression Golf Balls?\nMore often than not, the longest golf balls that obviously have the lowest compression rating are quite popular among slow-swing golfers (below 85 mph). Such as beginners, seniors, and amateurs.\nBut this doesn’t mean you cannot use one of these as a better, faster-swing player; it’s just that you won’t be able to gain maximum distance with lower compression.\nWho Should Be Using High Compression Golf Balls?\nThat would definitely be golfers with a fast swing speed (above 105 mph). Only the better players can compress the golf ball less and still be able to maximize distance, control, AND feel.\nHow to Choose the Right Golf Ball for My Swing Speed?\nIt’s as simple as taking numbers and analytics into account:\nWhen your swing speed is <85 mph and you have a high handicap, pick 2-piece, low compression golf balls.\nWhen your swing speed is between 85 mph and 104 mph with a mid-handicap, go for medium compression, 3-piece golf balls since they’re the best for distance, feel, and control.\nAnd when your swing speed is >105 mph and you have a low handicap, choose nothing but multi-layered, high compression golf balls.\nWhat Compression of Golf Ball Works Best for Slow Swing Speed?\nOnce again, if your swing speed is slow i.e. 85 mph or lower, you should be using only low compression golf balls. These would be those that have a 70-80 compression rating. Only then will you be able to produce longer yardages with better feel off the clubface.\nAre Higher Compression Golf Balls Better?\nWell, YES they are better, but for better players. If your swing speed is fast and hard, you don’t need the golf ball to compress a whole lot in order to produce more distance.\nOn top of that, a higher compression rating in a golf ball hands over greater control, which is just what better golfers demand.\nShould Beginners Use High Spin or Low Spin Golf Balls?\nAs a beginner highly prone to hooking or slicing your shots, you should be using low spin golf balls (generally, these are also low compression). Because with high spin golf balls, the chances of hitting slices and hooks get maximized. So unless you, as a beginner, can produce a straight ball flight, go with lower spin.\nThe End Is Here!\nCheck the packaging of the golf ball to get to know its compression rating. It must be printed somewhere there in the description. It’s going to be a number between 70 and 110, in most cases at least.\nAs for summing it up:\n- Choose low compression if you have a slow swing speed. While a higher compression rating is better if your swing speed is faster.\n- Compression is actually how much a golf ball is squeezed or compressed at impact.\n- Factors that decide how much compression occurs include your swing speed and the core of the ball.\n- You have to make sure your swing speed is what determines the compression rating that works for YOU.\n- And lastly, the weather does indeed have an impact on the compression of a golf ball.\nIn the end, I would also like to add that do not overestimate the importance of compression. It is ONE of the factors that guide you through the whole journey of choosing the right golf balls for yourself, not the ONLY factor.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

All aspects of the design have been perfected to the smallest detail, resulting in truly revolutionary woofer performance. Subzero is capable of an incredible 2.5\"excursion (10\" Subzero). With excursion of this magnitude, Subzero produces levels of bass unattainable by conventional woofers. The extreme excursion ability coupled with the unique suspension makes Subzero extremely transient proficient. Even a light touch on the cone, easily moves it several centimeters. This ease of movement combined with the ultra-powerful magnet system results in a spectacularly fast and precise response. Subzero is free of the mechanical and electrical constraints inherent to common woofers.\nLava-fused Octo Helix voice coil\nSubzero is equipped with a unique voice coil of oversized proportions. All aspects of the voice coil design are optimized for maximum performance, durability and sound quality.\nIn the creation of the Subzero voice coil, Earthquake scientists have boldly challenged the very genesis of the voice coil itself.\nTraditionally, a lot of effort goes into choosing the right voice coil former (the cylinder to which the coil is wound). The former must be light, have similar heat expansion properties to the voice coil and it must promote cooling. Constantly advancing the state of the art, Earthquake engineers theorized that the best solution must be to have no former at all. While this theory flies in the face of all conventional wisdom, our engineers pressed on. During this proof-of-concept phase, it was realized that the technology needed to do away with the former simply did not exist. Instead of abandoning the quest for formerless technology, the research was extended to include facilitating technologies. In place of the structural support provided by the former, a super strong ultra high temperature adhesive was needed. A new insulator for the coil wire was also needed as traditional lacquer insulator does not have sufficient bonding properties for it to fuse together at the required tensile strength. This challenge was constructive in its own right as the biggest threat to woofer survival is heat, if the essence of this new technology would bring forth a temperature resilient voice coil it would serve to improve all other aspects of woofer operation.\nThe creation of the needed high temperature adhesive proved difficult and the next break would come as an unlikely discovery by our Chief engineer while on vacation in Hawaii. Taking a scenic tour of Hawaii, he was walking through an area with volcanic ash and realized that the ideal base substance for a high temperature adhesive would be a material with no combustible elements left. Volcanic ash fits this description perfectly as it has been exposed to extreme heat - it has been combusted to the point where further heat exposure will not change its molecular structure. The volcanic ash was taken to our German adhesive manufacturing partner and six months later we had our next generation temperature invariant super adhesive. Now we just needed an equally temperature resistant insulator. The only known insulator capable of withstanding this immense heat was anodizing. Anodizing however is problematic because it breaks off the host material if it is bent beyond a certain point. After much experimentation it was discovered that it is possible to prevent the anodizing from breaking off if the coil wire is heated to red hot temperature at the time of winding. Finally, the first former-less voice coil could be made. The audible qualities springing from this new lighter and stronger coil type is nothing less than remarkable.\nSignature technologies such as the Octo-Helix winding scheme has evolved for use in the new Subzero. The Octo-Helix design requires a very advanced production process. The Helix design is unique because it allows identical electromagnetic coupling and thermal signatures of two voice coils. In a conventional subwoofer with dual voice coils, they are wound one on top of the other, resulting in asymmetrical electromagnetic coupling and heat dissipation capability. The Helix structure is free of these limitations, since the two coils are wound synchronously in-phase. The Helix wound voice coil is characterized by several obvious advantages - perfect electromagnetic coupling, identical thermal signature, lower distortion, higher performance and durability.\nThe voice coil is comprised of eight (octo) layers of edge wound oxygen-free copper wire. This special copper wire is of the flat-wire type. Flat-wire has a much greater surface area than conventional round wire and can thus dissipate considerably more heat it. Another advantage is the coil can be wound closer - increasing motor power. The coil assembly meets mil-std specifications for temperature resilience - specifications set by the U.S. Department of Defense for use in military equipment. This guarantees peak performance even during hard and continuous operation.\nTCT - Turbine Cooled Transducer\nSubzero is equipped with the patented TCT (Turbine Cooled Transducer) technology. TCT creates cooling airflow similar to a tornado around the voice coil. The tornado is created by air forced through cooling channels milled in a vortex structure. Traditional voice coil cooling is done by drilling out the pole piece and the woofer stroke then pushes air back and forth. This cooling scheme only has a linear increase as a function of woofer stroke. TCT is different. TCT creates an exponential increase in cooling capacity as a function of woofer stroke. This is achieved by harnessing the centrifugal forces in the mini tornado to increase surface area contact between the air and voice coil. TCT is so effective that the voice coil temperature is reduced 50% compared to the same woofer without TCT. This prevents heat derived compression and keeps the woofer at maximum efficiency.. The compression is a result of the increased electrical resistance of the voice coil - the higher the temperature, the higher the resistance. Since TCT's cooling capacity increases exponentially with excursion, heat is not allowed to build up. The harder you drive Subzero the more it cools itself.\nPoly-Ether draw SWE (Super Wide Edge) suspension\nFor Subzero our unique SWE (Super Wide Edge) suspension design has been enhanced by the use of Poly-Ether draw material. Sporting an extreme curve height of 62 mm the stage has been set for incredible excursion. The manufacturing of this advanced suspension is a complex process spanning several stages. Poly-Ether draw is used primarily in military applications because of its high strength and flexibility. The sophisticated and costly processing requirements has so far limited its use outside the military. Thanks to the obsessive high-tech emphasis by Earthquake, the entire Poly-Ether draw manufacturing process can be done in-house. As part of the manufacturing process, the Poly-Ether material is thermally pressed and laminated giving it extreme strength and mobility. The suspension geometry is of the single-layer type and allows ultra long excursion without mechanical breakup. This results in woofer stroke potential in excess of 100 mm without deformation or increased mechanical resistance.This ensures perfect reproduction of even the most bass heavy soundtracks\nParabolic deep dish woofer cone\nThe Subzero cone is made of a proprietary non-pressed fiber reinforced cellulose pulp substance with extreme stiffness. The cone is then superimposed with a parabolic deep dish made of a strong space age polymer that obtains additional rigidity by its geometric shape. The cone does not flex or deform regardless of input power and frequency.\nDual Super-Spider with composite center and symmetric stitched tinsel leads\nThe Subzero spider is of the super spider type, which means the spider has the same diameter as the cone -this ensures the spider is not limiting excursion. The Subzero is equipped with a double super spider unit comprised of a Nomax /Romax hybrid material that has been epoxy coated for increased strength. The individual super spider units are arranged as identical opposites - canceling nonlinearities inherent to typical single or dual spider designs.The result is a clean sound - free from mechanical artifacts. For optimal performance the edge suspension and spider must have the same excursion potential, this is not possible with a traditional spider of limited diameter.\nTraditionally, the spider is glued to the voice coil, this results in heat transfer from the voice coil to the spider. This heat transfer effects the spiders compliance and can over time degrade the spider. The Subzero super spider is not glued the voice coil, but attached to a composite center ring that in turn is bonded to the voice coil. The special composite material is neither heat sensitive nor a thermal conductor. Thus the endurance and longevity of the Subzero is not affected regardless of drive level.\nThe tinsel leads to the voice coil are sewn into the spider to ensure against collision with the cone during extreme excursion. This also extends the life of the tinsel leads, as they now bend more gently over a longer distance. The symmetrical design of the tinsel leads prevents an asymmetrical pull on the cone. The result is longer woofer life, and greater endurance.\nDouble stacked Cobalt-Ceramic high gauss magnet system\nSubzero is built around a gigantic magnet system. It consists of two huge Cobalt-Ceramic magnets which have been hyper magnetised in-house by Earthquakes military grade Magnetiser. The two magnets have a total thickness of 6 cm, the top plate alone is 1 cm and the pole piece is 5 cm. With a total height of 12 cm - the voice coil is given unhindered travel space far beyond its mechanical limits. This ensures that not even the strongest transient may cause the device to run out of electromagnetic coupling. At the same time the high gap height contributes to voice coil cooling, as the immense mass of metal effectively absorbs heat.\nDiamond cut chassis with XLT geometry\nThe Subzero is based on Earthquakes signature XLT chassis geometry. It is the optimal design for extreme excursion. The XLT chassis allows for extra length between the spider (center suspension) and the magnetic gap. It is designed to accommodate oversized spiders and voice coils.\nThe Subzero chassis feature another advanced design detail unique to the Subzero. All other woofers have the chassis mounted on top of the magnet. The Subzero encases the magnet within the chassis and the chassis is mounted to the magnet from behind. This special design prevents the chassis from degrading the magnetic flux asserted on the voice coil. The oversized and rigid chassis is made of cast aluminum which is then diamond cut. This results in an ultra-rigid and robust chassis featuring stunning good looks. The chassis is further characterized by all components of the assembly being bolted together with stainless steel machine screws. This design is extremely rugged compared to ordinary assemblies where the chassis and magnet system is often glued and / or tabbed together. The technically superior design ensures exceptional durability, sound quality and pride of ownership.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The cleaning of the compartments is rotated, allowing continuous use unless it is bag filter that is quite small.\n- Continuously – In this type of cleaning, cleaning is automatic and the filtration process can continue during the cleaning. There is always a set of bags being cleaned with continuous cleaning.\nWhen you require bag filter services in Edmonton, look no further than McGregor-Sharp Filtering Equipment. We treat your business like our own.\nWhat is a Bag Filter?\nBag filters, which are also referred to as baghouses and fabric filters, are instrumental in maintaining good air quality at a commercial or industrial site. Essentially, they are air filters that reduce air pollution and remove particulates from the air. Their performance does not vary widely: a baghouse that is functioning well typically collects particulates at 99% efficiency. This stays true even when the particulates are very small.\nBag filters are usually made up of cylindrical tubes or bags that are made out of woven or felt fabric. This is the filter medium. When the air enters the filter, a cake of dust or other particulates forms on the surface of the fabric. There are three different types of bag filters:\n- Mechanical shakers – wide side range, simple design and operation, low air-to-cloth ratio\n- Reverse air – allow for continuous operation, cleaned with reverse air flow, rigid rings sewn into the bags to prevent collapse\n- Pulse jet – cleaned with a short burst of compressed air, allow for continuous operation, the bag can be changed without having to enter the baghouse\nWhat is the Filter Bag Made Out Of?\nThe filter bag itself is usually made of cotton, nylon, polyester, and fiberglass, as well as other materials. Both woven and nonwoven materials are used. When the nonwoven material is felted, it is fixed onto a woven backing called a scrim. When the nonwoven fabric is instead a thin, porous membrane, it is bound to the same scrim. Woven materials are usually plain weave, twill weave, or sateen weave, which allows for either an increase or a decrease in the space between individual fibers depending on the type of weave.\nBook Your Inspection & Cleaning\nEnsure that your bag filter is in good working condition when you choose the services of McGregor-Sharpe Filtering Equipment.

In fact, they are one of the most important assets of your truck. Truck tires significantly contribute to fleet operating costs and fuel consumption. A good tire management program can end up saving you thousands as a small business owner, helping you keep more money in your pocket.\nTruck tires found on commercial vehicles usually weigh more than 10,000 pounds in Gross Vehicle Weight. Generally constructed of a single steel body ply with three or four steel belts under the tread, truck tires are designed to last hundreds of thousands of miles on their original tread. Afterwards, they can be retreaded and put back into service for many more miles.\nMore importantly, tires for big trucks play different roles depending on their mounting position. The front tires are used for steering, the trailer tires bear the payload, and the rear tires on the trailer help shoulder the weight of heavier loads while equally distributing energy onto the road itself. Therefore, when a tire is scrapped, it’s usually not a result of the tire itself. It’s often due to preventable problems.\nThe following includes the suspects of premature tire death, and what you can do to ensure you get the most out of yours.\n1. Underinflated Truck Tires\nThis is the most common factor in tires that are ruined prematurely. According to the American Trucking Associations’ Technology and Maintenance Council, you should be checking your tire pressure once a week. This should take you no longer than 20 minutes and could save you lots of money in the long run.\nJust 10 percent underinflation will shorten tread life by approximately 9 to 16 percent. When tires are underinflated, there’s not enough air to properly support the load, which causes heat buildup and results in the softening of the rubber.\nTo get the most out of your tires, experts suggest tire inflation monitors or using an accurately calibrated tire gauge. Some companies even offer ways to help drivers offset the costs of tires over time. Here at Bennett, we understand the importance of preserving tires for as long as possible, which is why we also offer exclusive tire discounts for our owner-operators.\n2. Road Hazards\nUnfortunately, the most unpredictable road hazards are the most difficult to manage when it comes to tires. Curb strikes and glass or a nail in the tire often results in having to purchase a replacement. However, you can moderate this issue by getting the proper repairs when applicable. Inspect your tires for this type of damage to prevent a roadside service call.\n3. Duels That Don’t Match\nMismatched duels can cause early wear and tear on your truck tires. If there’s an inflation mismatch greater than 5 psi, this means the larger tire will drag the smaller one; for roughly 246 miles for every 100,000 miles driven. The larger tire does the heavy lifting, while the underinflated tire doesn’t make proper contact with the road. This ultimately cases the tire to wear faster. Once again, this problem can be prevented by using a tire gauge to ensure even pressure on the duels.\nThere are several different types of tire problemsthat result from misalignment including toe-in wear, toe-out wear, full shoulder wear, one-sided wear, feather wear and thrust angle-induced full shoulder wear. Alignment refers to more than just the various angles of the steer axle geometry, but also includes the trailer and tracking of all axles on the vehicle.\nIn order to check trailers for accurate alignment, you must first measure from the kingpin to the front axle, and then from the front axle to the rear. If the dimensions are nearly identical, this means your truck is properly aligned. Check out this helpful video to see how to properly measure your trailer alignment.\nOverall, your truck tires need some TLC to get the most use out of them. However, when you do need new tires, Bennett has great discounts with several of the most well-known manufacturers.

The main LPG components are hydrocarbons (mainly in the C3-C4 range), propane and butane.\nThe process utilizes a closed propane refrigeration loop (green streams) around a brazed plate fin heat exchanger.\nThe description of the process follows.\nThe initial gas mixture (Methane and LPGs) is sent in a two-phase separator (S101) in order to eliminate the heaviest compounds which are sent to the distillation column (C101). The others leave at the top of the vessel and are cooled in the brazed plate fin heat exchanger (E101). They are then forwarded in another two-phase separator (S102) to separate heavy and lights. The two output streams (stream C03in and C04in) are sent back in the plate-fin heat exchanger as cold streams.\nOnce treated, the gas is mainly composed of methane and ethane and flows out of the exchanger (stream C04out).\nThis gas, not entirely liquefied, is sent in a deethanizer column (C101), like the bottom stream of the first two-phase separator (C14).\nThis column is set to recover at the bottom, a liquid having a minimal, specified mass-fraction of methane (0.05 lb/h).\nThe main cold streams of the plate-fin heat exchanger are the two propane streams (C05out and C06out).\nOn the outlet side of the plate-fin heat exchanger, they are mixed and sent in a compressor (K101) which increases their pressure and their temperature. The heat generated is recovered in an exchanger (E102).\nPropane then flows in an expansion valve (v101) in order to decrease its pressure. A liquid-gas mixture is formed and sent in a separator (S104). Liquid propane is returned in the plate-fin heat exchanger (streams C05in and C06in). The gas propane (stream C12) is mixed with hot streams of propane leaving the brazed plate fin heat exchanger (E101).\nPropane circulates in closed loop in the system where it acts as a refrigerant.\nHeat exchanger description\nThis process implements a brazed plate-fin heat exchanger (E101). Only one of these exchangers can contain more than ten different hot and cold streams.\nThanks to its low cost of production and its high performances (they are generally made of brazed aluminum), it is increasingly used in cryogenic processes.\nThe model implemented in ProSimPlus is a detailed model which takes into account all the complexity of the geometry of this type of exchangers.\nThe single assumption made is of a common wall temperature off stacking (known as TPC assumption).\nAnother ProSim software, ProSec, makes it possible to bypass this assumption for even more accurate calculations.\nThe exchanger is composed of three references paths, shared by the hot and cold streams. The main stream (C02) flows throughout the heat exchanger, the secondary streams are withdrawn (C05, C06) or fed (C03, C04) on the side of the unit.\nThe figures below present the fins used for the several flow paths in the heat exchanger as well as their topology (exchange, distribution and dead zones). Only one fin is used in this example (Fin #2873 from Fives Cryo (formerly called Nordon Cryogénie)):\nComponents taken into account in the simulation are extracted from the ProSimPlus standard database:\n|Name|| Chemical formula |\nThe thermodynamic model is based on an equation of state approach. The chosen equation of state is the Peng Robinson (PR) equation with binary interaction parameters extracted from the ProSimPlus database.\nContact ProSim by e-mail (sales @ prosim.net) or through the contact page from ProSim website (click on the button):", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

These valves are designed to automatically release water in the event that the pressure or temperature in the hot water tank exceeds safe levels.\nIf a TPR valve is missing or malfunctions, water within the system may become superheated (surpassing the boiling point) and a tank rupture is possible. When super heated water is exposed to the atmosphere, it will expand into steam almost instantly, and this process can propel a hot water tank like a rocket through multiple floors, causing personal injury and property damage.\nWhile water heater explosions are rare, because they require a combination of unusual conditions and failure of the safety components, it has happened and the results are catastrophic.\nClick Here to see what a hot water heater tank under extreme pressure is capable of doing.\nSo what am I looking for when I inspect the TPR valve?\nA properly installed TPR valve should meet these requirements:\nBe constructed of a plumbing material rated for hot water, typically CPVC, copper, or galvanized steel.\nBe properly rated for the hot water tank\nInstalled so the sensing element is within 6 inches of the top of the water heater\nIs same diameter, or larger, than the supply pipe serving the water heater. (Usually ¾”)\nBe as short and as straight as possible, to avoid undue stress on the valve, and installed so that it drains by gravity (downward).\nNot have a valve, T-fitting, or threaded end, to avoid any scenario that might result in a restriction or capping of the discharge piping\nNot be trapped, since standing water may become contaminated and backflow into the drinking water.\nThe valve should be connected to a discharge pipe (also called a drain line) that runs down the length of the water heater tank to within 6inches of the floor, or to a waste receptor with an air gap, or to visible exterior location.\nWhat you should look for as a Home Owner?\nFirst off I’m going to say that a missing TPR valve is extremely rare, (I have yet to find one missing ) but if it is missing, somebody who didn’t know what they were doing has endangered the occupants safety and you should immediately contact a qualified plumber.\nAssuming a TPR valve is present; confirm that the data plate located on valve complies with the water tank data plate, if the data plate is missing replace the valve. The most common rating for TPR valve is 210 degrees and 150 PSI. Which means that the valve should activate if the water temperature in the tank exceeds 210 degrees F or the pressure within the tank exceeds 150 PSI. (Pounds Square Inch)\nMake sure a discharge pipe is connected and appropriately sized. The discharge pipe should NOT be smaller diameter than the threaded portion of the valve, it should NOT be threaded or capped at the discharge point , and it SHOULD terminate within 6 inches of the floor.\nIf your tank is missing a discharge pipe have one installed.A missing or improperly installed discharge pipe is one of the most notable problems I find while inspecting hot water tanks, and is a relatively inexpensive safety item to have installed.\nIf you notice that the TPR valve on the tank is slowly leaking it’s a good indication that the valve requires replacement. If the TPR valve ever ejects a powerful stream of hot water it is alerting you that a problem exists, and you should immediately shut off the water and contact a qualified plumber for repair.\nAlthough most TPR valves rarely become activated, it is an essential safety component on domestic hot water heaters. Guidelines concerning these valves and their discharge pipes reflect real hazards that every homeowner should take seriously. If you are unsure if your hot water tank is installed properly and that all the safety devices are in place contact a qualified plumber to further investigate.\nBlue Owl Inspections provides Professional Reliable Home Inspection services throughout the lower mainland.\nCall today and experience the difference from a home inspector that cares!", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Prosthetic components for the Inclusive® Tapered Implant System include a wide array of esthetic and multi-unit titanium abutments, along with analogs, screws, temporary and UCLA abutments, digital and conventional transfer copings, and more. Prismatik Dentalcraft also has FDA 510(k) clearance for prosthetic connections that are compatible with several of the industry’s other leading implant manufacturers. Specific component offerings are constantly being expanded.\nInclusive brand prosthetic components are produced in Irvine, California, in an ISO 13485 certified environment operating under FDA Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs). We ensure tight tolerances, precision machining, state-of-the-art processing and cleaning, and extensive validation testing — from fatigue strength assessment to packaging integrity analysis. Uniform component costs across systems allows for predictable pricing. The result is a product that offers immediate value and lasting quality.\nHealing and Temporization\nInclusive® Healing Abutments\nAn Inclusive® Healing Abutment is delivered post-implant placement to close the implant connection and aid in soft-tissue management during the healing phase. Healing abutments may be delivered immediately (single-stage protocol) or after an initial healing period (two-stage protocol), depending upon implant stability. Healing abutments are precisely machined from titanium alloy, with a threaded shaft for integration with the internal connection of a seated implant. The occlusal surface of the healing abutment contains a female instrumentation port compatible with the restorative driver recommended by the implant manufacturer. Inclusive Healing Abutments are available in multiple heights to accommodate varying gingival thickness.\nInclusive® Bite Verification Cylinders\nInclusive® Bite Verification Cylinders are indicated for the fabrication of temporary screw-retained restorations. Provisional restorations can be made chairside using any standard fabrication technique. Bite verification cylinders are precisely machined from titanium alloy and attached to the implant fixture or implant analog by a titanium screw or provisional guide pin.\nEngaging bite verification cylinders are indicated for single-unit restorations to prevent rotation of the provisional crown. Non-engaging bite verification cylinders are indicated for multi-unit bridges, and therefore permit rotational connection to allow for a passive path of insertion.\nImpressions and Analogs\nInclusive® Transfer Copings\nInclusive® Transfer Copings are used to transmit the position, angulation, and connection feature orientation of seated implants when captured in an elastomeric impression. Impressions may be taken with either the indirect or direct technique, depending on the clinician’s preference and chairside conditions. Transfer copings are precisely machined from titanium alloy and attached to the implant fixture by a titanium screw or guide pin. Closed-tray transfer copings are for use when employing an indirect impression technique. Open-tray transfer copings are for use when using a direct impression technique.\nInclusive® Scanning Abutments\nInclusive® Scanning Abutments are used to transmit highly accurate position and angulation data of seated implants when scanned with an intraoral or desktop digital scanner. Each scanning abutment consists of an abutment body manufactured from biocompatible PEEK material, with a captured titanium screw for attachment to the implant or analog.\nClinical Scanning Abutments containing a radiopaque, barium-sulfate material, are designed for chairside use with intraoral scanners. Their opacity on a radiograph allows accurate confirmation of complete seating. Use clinical scanning abutments to avoid the costs and distortion factor associated with conventional, elastomeric impressions. With its comprehensive support for digital impression technology, Glidewell Laboratories provides dentists with a convenient, affordable, effective restorative process for implant cases.\nLaboratory Scanning Abutments, available for both red-light and blue-light desktop scanners, are produced from radiolucent material, and are designed to be used with implant analogs on a stone model. Paired with the powerful 3Shape AbutmentDesigner™ module and the Glidewell Digital Abutment Library, laboratory scanning abutments can be used to scan and design custom implant abutments for most major implant systems.\nInclusive® Implant Analogs\nInclusive® Implant Analogs are platform-specific replicas of dental implant fixtures, used in a working model to represent the location and platform orientation of a seated implant fixture. Prior to the casting process, the appropriate analog is attached to each impression coping captured in an elastomeric impression. Because each analog is specific to the restorative platform of the seated implant, it is critical that the analog platform matches that of the actual fixture in the oral environment.\nInclusive® Abutment Analogs\nInclusive® Abutment Analogs are platform-specific replicas of unmodified, prefabricated dental implant abutments attached to dental implant fixtures seated in the patient’s mouth. Each abutment analog is used in a working model to represent the location and orientation of a seated implant-abutment assembly. Prior to the casting process, the appropriate analog is attached to each impression coping captured in an elastomeric impression. Because each analog represents an abutment of specific dimensions mated to the restorative platform of a seated implant, it is critical that the analog reflects the supragingival dimensions of the actual fixture and abutment in the oral environment.\nMulti-Unit Abutment System\nInclusive® Multi-Unit Abutments\nInclusive® Multi-Unit Abutments are prefabricated, screw-retained intraoral abutments intended to be connected directly to endosseous implants in partially or fully edentulous patients for the retention of cast or milled bar overdentures. Multi-unit abutments are precisely machined from titanium alloy, and are available with a variety of collar heights to achieve optimal emergence from shallow or deep gingival wells.\nStraight multi-unit abutments lack any anti-rotational features at the implant-abutment interface. The apical portion of a straight multi-unit abutment is threaded for integration with the internal connection of a seated implant.\nAngled multi-unit abutments of 17 degrees or 30 degrees enable clinicians to compensate for the divergence of seated implants or to otherwise accommodate an angled path of insertion. Angled multi-unit abutments feature an anti-rotational connection interface specific to the matching implant platform, and are attached to the implant fixture with an angled multi-unit abutment screw.\nInclusive® Multi-Unit Accessories\nTo simplify the restorative process, all Inclusive® Multi-Unit Abutments are supported by the same, comprehensive line of Inclusive® Multi-Unit Accessories. From healing caps and temporary cylinders to an array of copings and prosthetic screws, this assortment enables clinicians to provide a provisional or definitive prosthesis for multi-unit abutment patients regardless of the underlying implant system.\nCrown & Bridge Abutments\nInclusive® Titanium Abutments\nInclusive® Titanium Abutments are prefabricated, screw-retained intraoral abutments intended to be connected directly to an endosseous implant for retention of a cemented dental prosthesis. They may be indicated for single- and multiple-tooth restorations. Titanium abutments are precisely machined from titanium alloy and attached to the implant fixture with a titanium screw. For use in any region of the mouth, they contain a standard, circular emergence profile and straight abutment body available in 4.5 mm and 6 mm vertical height options.\nInclusive® Titanium Esthetic Abutments\nInclusive® Titanium Esthetic Abutments are prefabricated, screw-retained intraoral abutments intended to be connected directly to an endosseous implant for retention of a cemented dental prosthesis. They may be indicated for single- and multiple-tooth restorations. Titanium esthetic abutments are precisely machined from titanium alloy and attached to the implant fixture with a titanium screw. Unlike the circular emergence profile of standard stock abutments, esthetic abutments are manufactured with a tapered emergence profile for more natural-looking contouring of the soft tissue at the implant site. Each esthetic abutment is anatomically designed for the connection site’s region (anterior or posterior).\nIn addition to the standard, straight abutment body, angled abutment bodies, produced with a 15 degree slope to compensate for an undesirable path of insertion are available.\nInclusive® UCLA Abutments\nInclusive® Universal Clearance-Limited Abutments (UCLAs) are indicated for laboratory use to manually create an implant-level custom abutment for a cement- or screw-retained restoration. UCLA abutments are precisely machined from acetal copolymer and attached to the implant fixture (or implant analog) with a titanium screw or provisional guide pin. A plastic sleeve mounted to the abutment provides a castable pattern on which to wax a custom abutment. Plastic UCLAs will burn out completely during the casting process to create a monolithic abutment. For most implant systems, they are available with an engaging or non-engaging connection interface. Engaging UCLAs are indicated for single-unit restorations to prevent rotation. A non-engaging UCLA is indicated for multi-unit bridges to allow passive path of insertion without anti-rotational restrictions.\nScrews & Guide Pins\nInclusive® Titanium Screws & Guide Pins\nInclusive® Titanium Screws and Inclusive® Guide Pins are threaded fasteners used to attach implant prosthetic components to dental implant fixtures or implant analogs on a temporary or long-term basis. Each screw or guide pin is precisely machined from titanium alloy and is specific to the system or the restorative platform of the seated implant.

Electric space heaters probably didn’t pop into your mind just now. But the adage applies to them, too. The right timing and placement of electric portable or “space” heaters is important if you’re at all concerned about heating and electricity costs. And if you want to create extra comfort where you need it most at home, or in your business or office using space heaters, here are a few tips for you.\nSpace heaters have proven themselves effective for heating small areas. why waste energy and money cranking up the central heat in your house or building when you only really need extra heat in one or two areas — like on your toes while you’re sitting at your desk creating a blog about space heaters. (How delightfully coincidental is that?)\nWhen you use them at the proper time (only when you need them) in the proper place (with the help of portability), space heaters are not only smart economically, but they’re also a greener solution.\nBesides being portable (to varying degrees), thus easy to install in any room with an electrical outlet, can they save money? Generally speaking, you can expect to consume less energy and save money only if you’re warming one or two rooms — and if you remember to shut them off when you’re not around.\nIf you find that your home or business has turned into a kind of space heater farm, you not likely saving money. In fact, you’re probably paying much more. And it likely means it’s time to assess your overall heating situation. Have you checked your furnace? Is it functioning properly? If you have electric baseboard heating, has it been adequately installed to meet your needs?\nPerhaps you’re using space heaters where cold air is seeping into your home. Weatherstripping and better insulation are likely better solutions. If you can keep less cold air from coming in, the less heating you’ll have to do. Simple, right? And more economical in the long run.\nSo, let’s assume that you’ve decided to use space heaters as they should be used — in thoughtful moderation.\nThere are three main types of electric space heaters available:\n- Radiative (infra-red) heaters\n- Convection heaters\n- Oil-filled radiators\nAll of the above can not only save you money (again, we emphasize) when properly used. They can also add some extra toasty-warm comfort that central heating can’t. Radiant infra-red space heaters are a good example. Turn them on and they immediately radiate a sun-like warmth to warm your body. Thus, they’re particularly popular in bathrooms. But they’re not ideal for the room itself. So, in selecting and placing a space heater, it’s important to keep in mind its primary use.\nIf it’s quiet operation in a room where you like to rest, watching TV, read or just relax you need, a fan-forced convection heater is your least desirable choice. However, a low-profile, “old-school” baseboard convection heater is worth considering.\nConsider not only the room’s function but also its size, when selecting a space heater. Don’t purchase oversized heaters. Most come with a general sizing table that allows you to match it to the room’s size.\nLast, but not least, make safety your primary concern. Even though any heater you buy should have a shut-off feature that is activated when the heater is tipped over, it’s best not to put this to the test– especially if it’s a room used by kids or pets. Look for a sensor that shuts the heater off if it overheats.\nLook also for a label from a recognized testing laboratory such as UL (Underwriters Laboratory), ETL (Intertek), or CSA (Canadian Standards Association). These labels verify the heater’s construction and performance meet voluntary safety standards.\nWherever you place your new space heater, make sure to regularly inspect its electrical cord for damage. And never use an extension cord with an electric heater!\nIf it’s time to install a heater but find there aren’t enough electrical outlets in the room to allow you to plug them in without an extension cord, don’t risk electrocution or fire! Call us at Stapleton Electric if you’re short an outlet or two. Also waste no time in calling us at 778-985-9395 if, after you install your heaters, your breaker keeps tripping or your fuses continue to blow. When these things happen regularly, it’s always a safety concern.\nKeep checking our regularly-posted blogs for all things electrical, practical and safe. Again, don’t hesitate to call us. You’re also welcome to get in touch with us on our contact page. Meanwhile, stay warm, stay safe.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The latest version of the standard is always available on this website.\nMEC blocks are designed in 0.3 inch increments (a block’s nominal size in each dimension can be 0.3 inches, 0.6 inches, 0.9 inches, and so on). Each dimension of a MEC is actually designed to be 0.005 inches smaller than a 0.3-inch multiple to allow space for two MECs to be connected side-by-side (for example, the 0.3 inch thick mechanical baseboard MEC is actually 0.295 inches thick). Surfaces of MECs contain rectilinear arrays of holes spaced on 0.3 inch increments. The diameter of each hole changes along the depth of the hole: the topmost (and bottommost) 0.0865 inches of the hole has a diameter of 0.125 inches, and the middle of the hole has a diameter of 0.092 inches. The larger 0.125-inch diameter portion of the hole is designed to receive a 0.125 inch diameter and 0.175 inch long pin. Using these pins, two MECs can be connected together using a simple and reversible friction-fit assembly. Alternately, a standard 2-56 screw can fit through the 0.092-inch-diameter portion of a hole and self-thread into a 0.076-inch-diameter hole on a MEC part. This provides a mechanically stronger alternative to the pins for connecting two MECs together.\nThe holes on 0.3-inch-spaced increments can be sized to accommodate flexible tubing (e.g., Tygon brand) with 3/32 inch outer diameter and a 1/32 inch inner diameter. A short length of tubing inserted into a hole can then serve as a fluidic socket. A 20-gauge rigid tube (e.g., stainless steel) can then be inserted into the tubing-based fluidic socket. This creates a simple and reversible friction-fit fluidic connection between two MECs. Alternately, two MECs whose faces do not touch (and therefore cannot be easily connected by the rigid tube) may be connected using a length of flexible tubing. In this case, a 20-gauge rigid tube is permanently inserted into each MEC (extending at least 0.29 inches out of the MEC surface), and flexible tubing is slipped onto these tubes to form a reversible fluidic connection between the two MECs. For applications that must withstand higher fluid pressures, a retaining ring (0.125 inches outer diameter, 0.086 inches inner diameter, and 0.175 inches long) can be slipped on the outside of the flexible tubing at each MEC to serve as a compression fitting.\nThe 0.3-inch-spaced holes described above can also accommodate metal pins, conductive rubber pins, metal springs, or metal screws to provide electrical connectivity between MECs.\nOptical elements like light emitting diodes, phototransistors, and fiber optics can be designed into the 0.3-inch-spaced holes and used to provide optical interfaces between MECs.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Since MFO (HFO) is generally 20 to 40% cheaper than light oil as well as it has better fuel efficiency of 8 to 12% depending on the calory, approximately 30% of the electricity generation cost can be saved by using FRHS.\n2. Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO)? Marin Fuel Oil (MFO)?\n(The same type) Considering that MFO (HFO) mainly consists of residual oils and is not chemically refined, the quality is relatively low among petroleum products. However, it is produced with an obvious purpose of reprocessing it to make lubricant, asphalt, petroleum cokes, etc.\nMoreover, MFO (HFO) features less heat loss, easy combustion control, and simple ignition and extinguishment, which makes it widely used as a power source of a large-scale engine or a heat source of a boiler. Although MFO (HFO) has a high heating value and is economical due to its cheap price, its high viscosity and poor fluidity at room temperature make it difficult to be supplied and handled as fuel. Therefore, it is mainly used for large boilers in the industry.\nIt should be heated to about 50℃ while being transported and used to make it flow smoothly. MFO-A, MFO-B and MFO-C (HFO-A, HFO-B, HFO-C) are the fuels that are produced by mixing MFO (HFO) with light distillate (diesel distillate mostly) to improve the ease-of-use. MFO-A (HFO-A) is mainly used for small industrial boilers and small and middle vessels; MFO-B (HFO-B) for middle boilers and middle vessels; and MFO-C (HFO-C) for large boilers.\nAccording to the Energy Conversion Factors of the Enforcement Regulations of the Energy Act, the total heating value of MFO-A (HFO-A) is 9,300 kcal/L, MFO-B (HFO-B) is 9,650kcal/L, and MFO-C (HFO-C) is 9,800kcal/L, among which the bunker C has the highest heating value. As mentioned above, however, as they are difficult to handle, the size and characteristics of equipment should be considered when choosing an appropriate fuel\nbottom of page", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Hoberman’s work is a combination of precise mathematics and an integration of organic movements inspired by nature. We will be unveiling five sculptures at the 2019 New York Art Fair- one in our booth, ANY306, and four in the VIP lounge and adjoining public areas. This is the first time Hoberman’s sculptures will be commercially available in a gallery.\n“The underlying theme of my kinetic sculpture is transformation itself. Since everything changes all the time (including ourselves), it’s a topic that seems almost too large to grasp. My primary inspiration comes from nature- watching the endlessly changing shapes of clouds on a clear day, the curling flow of a turbulent fluid, or a time-lapse film of a growing plant. My creative focus is to make our experience of transformation visible and visceral. The viewer sees the artwork fluidly transform as it rearranges all of its parts, similar to how natural organisms grow by rearranging their own cells and molecules.”\n— Chuck Hoberman\nIncluded in the Art New York installation is the world famous Iris Dome, which was featured at the Museum of Modern Art, NY (MoMA). Hoberman designed the Iris Dome in 1994 as a new type of retractable roof that opens and closes like the iris of an eye. The dome has rigid covering panels attached to its structure, which glide smoothly over one another to form a continuous skin covering the dome when fully extended. The first outdoor installation of the Iris Dome appeared beside the German Pavilion at Expo 2000, the World’s Fair held in Hanover, Germany. The dome celebrated the reconstruction of Dresden’s legendary Frauenkirche Cathedral, which was destroyed during the WWII.\nHoberman used the dome’s design to create the Arch for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. This was his introduction to the world of live entertainment. In 2009, he created the Expanding Video Screen as the centerpiece for the U2 360° tour, a giant shape-shifting screen having a height of seven stories and weighing over thirty tons. As part of the design team for Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz stadium, Hoberman’s Iris Dome was a key inspiration for its unique retractable roof, seen by millions during Super Bowl 2019.\nWith the sculpture Helicoid, Hoberman explores the helix, a form that has fascinated artists and mathematicians for centuries. The shape is prevalent in nature, occurring in shells and in our DNA. Helicoid expands and contracts using Hoberman’s own unique system of complex scissor-like connections, creating a hypnotic, mesmerizing effect. He refers to these works as shape-invariant expanding structures - objects that expand without changing their shape.\nMorphing Sculptures is a new body of work which has never been publicly displayed in which Hoberman investigates what happens when one form transforms into another. Mitosis is inspired by a cell dividing into two. Morphing Sphere portrays a sphere changing into a cylinder, while Spiral consists of a spinning spiral which seemingly continues endlessly in an imaginative vertical space above and below the sculpture. The shifting metal splines of these sculptures trick the eye, seeming to change form in front of us, and creating intricate patterns as they move. All three Morphing Sculptures are available in editions of 6.\nChuck Hoberman (born 1956 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US) is an artist, engineer and inventor whose creations range from architectural structures, sets for live entertainment, and emergency shelters to best-selling toys and medical research. His most renowned invention, the Hoberman Sphere (1994) was added to the permanent collection of MoMA in 2010. Hoberman won the Chrysler Design Award for Innovation and Design in 1997 and was a finalist for the 2000 Smithsonian National Design Award. Hoberman’s work has been exhibited several times at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, including his commissioned installation, Emergent Surface, that was part of the 2008 exhibit “Design and the Elastic Mind.” Hoberman began his career as a sculptor, working with Hans Haacke and Vito Acconci. He holds over twenty patents for his transformable inventions. He’s been featured in Architectural Digest, The Boston Globe, Wired, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. Hoberman holds a bachelor’s degree in sculpture from Cooper Union and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Columbia University. He is a professor of Design Engineering at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The time has come to clean your boat or wave runners one last time, create some room in your storage unit, and make sure your valuable recreational asset is properly protected from the frigid temperatures that will soon arrive.\nYou may be tempted to leave your boat as is thinking it should be fine in storage. It doesn’t get that cold, right? Wrong! Need I remind you of that insurance policy that may not cover damages caused by your neglect or lack of maintenance? Don’t neglect your boat in the winter because it may come to haunt you in the spring when you’re stuck on trailer at the boat ramp rather than cruising on the lake after your quick pain free launch.\nCheck your owner’s manual for proper winterizing steps on your specific make and model.\nThe following is a suggested checklist for sterndrives, inboards, and outboards.\n1) Flush the engine with fresh water – this will flush any dirt, grim, salt, or other particles that could potentially block or corrode your engine.\na) Outboard motors, you may need a flushing kit to attach to the water intakes on your engine. Once the flushing kit is in place, hook up a water hose and let the engine run in neutral until the water runs out clean.\nb) Newer outboard motors have built-in water hose attachments. Check owner’s manual for more info.\n2) Add gas stabilizer - gasoline will break down while sitting inactive. Add a fuel stabilizer to the tank and idle the engine for a few minutes to mix the stabilizer throughout the system.\n3) Spray fogging oil into the cylinders and carburetor intakes - to prevent corrosion and rust spray fogging oil down the carburetor with the engine in neutral. Shut off the engine and pull the spark plugs and spray into the cylinders before replacing/reinstalling them.\n4) Flush engine with antifreeze – using antifreeze with prevent any water from freezing in your engine block that can cause serious damage.\n5) Oil change – for inboard motors, you should change your transmission and engine oil. This is easiest if the oil is hot so it will flow quicker. Might be a good idea to replace your oil filter. Check owner’s manual for info on type and grade of oil you should use. Dispose of old oil properly (recycling facility)\n6) Drain and replace the gear case lubricant – this will flush out water and other potential corroding or rusting causing contaminates.\n7) Remove the battery - disconnect the battery and store it in a dry place for the winter. Retain the charge and maintain water level in battery.\n8) Check the following items and replace as needed – plugs, wires, rotor, cap, belts, hoses, shift/throttle cables, steering and power trim fluids, propeller, grease u-joints, and replace water pump impeller.\n9) Clean and wax you boat – check your boat for chips or cracks and fill them before storing it for the winter. Deep cleaning your boat before putting it away for the winter will help prevent any molding or rotting of the interior. Using a professional grade wax on the exterior will protect your shine through the cold months and make spring cleaning much simpler.\n10) Cover and/or store your boat – boat storage is an ideal way to keep your boat protected all winter long, however, it can be expensive. If this isn’t an option, consider shrink wrapping your boat and obtaining a good tie-down or snap-down cover to prevent any water from seeping into the interior.\nRemember the time you put into winterizing your boat is well worth the money in damages it may cost you if you don’t. It is important to baby your boat with professional grade products. The steps above are suggestions on how to winterize your boat. Remember to check the owner’s manual for any questions..", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The force of the cutter is at its best where the to blades of the cutter meet.\nAfter the cut, remove the old connectors.\nConnectors enable you to build your project with empty Cup Chain units, no soldering necessary!\nInsert the connectors in the hole of the empty Cup Chain and pinch the point inside with a cutter or a flat nose plier. If you use the cutter, be careful not to cut it totally.\nYou can use a flat nose plier to hold the connector and push it into the hole. After you deform the connector inside the cup, use the plier to check if the connector is well connected. Give it a pull.\nJump Rings enable you to connect the pieces of your project.\nOpen the rings by bending the ring to opposite sides.\nWith two pliers that job is done in seconds.\nCup Chain End Connectors enable you to use (already finished) Crystal Cup Chain in your projects.\nIt is a combination of gluing and embedding.\nEmbedding means placing the stones in the cup and bending the prongs to close the crystal in the cup.\nWith a nylon jaw plier you can safely push the metal onto the crystal.\nStart with bending one prong. Do not bend it too far - if you do, the crystal may end up askew in the cup. Then bend the prong opposite to the one you first did. Then repeat the technique with the other 2 prongs.\nWith four claws the crystal is firmly fixed in the cup.\nBe sure to push the prongs as close as possible onto the crystal. Leaving a gap can cause problems like catching hair or clothes.\nYou can remove the stone by carefully bending the prongs back. This way you can change the stones of your project after some time. Be careful, the prongs can break eventually.\nThe quality thick plating of the cups can sometimes cause the connector hole to be too small, so the connector will not fit.\nYou can make the hole a little bit bigger by using a flat nose plier.\nPut the side of the tip of the plier into the hole, pinch the plier and bend it carefully downwards.\nBe careful not to make the hole too big. If the hole is too big, there is a chance the connector will slip through.\nStarters Kit Bracelet only € 9,95 includes:\n-- 15 Cups 8 mm --\n-- 15 Preciosa Crystal Chatons --\n-- 2 Cup Chain Connectors --\n-- 2 Jump Rings --\n-- 1 Clasp --\n-- 1 Extension Chain --", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

But it also has other, less well-known functions:\n- Cools hot areas of an engine and moving parts.\n- Reduces friction: A lubricant helps to improve engine efficiency and helps to reduce fuel consumption.\n- Protects mechanical parts against wear and corrosion: guaranteeing long life and efficiency of the engine.\n- Keeps the engine clean: it helps to guarantee long engine life and helps to keep all engine parts in a good and clean condition, while evacuating any impurities to the oil filter and through oil changes\nWhy is an engine oil’s ability to cleanse important?\nKeeping engine components clean is essential as it keeps them in good condition. If your engine components are dirty, oil may not be lubricating and protecting the engine properly. Dirt build-up can also lead to premature engine damage. Shell Helix engine oils are designed to clean and protect engines for improved performance.\nWhat is engine oil made from?\nEngine oils are made up from three important ingredients – base oils, viscosity modifiers and performance additives. These are carefully selected and skilfully blended to enable the oil to provide maximum engine protection.\nWhy is Shell Helix any better than other leading brands?\nWe have put Shell’s years of know-how in oil development into every aspect of the Shell Helix formula – from the base-oil technology through to the additives’ selection and blending. We have also channelled the experience we have gained in supporting leading racing teams, such as Scuderia Ferrari, into the Shell Helix formula. It is designed to meet challenges, so no matter how stressful your driving conditions, Shell Helix will help to clean and protect your engine.\nWhy should I buy Shell Helix when I can buy additives off the shelf and mix them with existing oil?\nAdding an uncontrolled volume of additives to your oil is like putting salt on your dessert. It takes years of additive blending experience to come up with the right formula for Shell Helix oil, and the way the various additives are mixed in with the base oil is crucial to the oil’s overall performance. So our strong advice is “do not add additives” if you aim to get the most from your car. The addition of additives may lead to expiration of the vehicle manufacturer’s guarantee.\nWill I really notice the difference if I don’t make frequent oil changes?\nNot changing your oil on a regular basis can significantly reduce the level of protection provided against engine wear. Engine oil acts as a reservoir for all kinds of by-products that form when the fuel burns, including soot, sludge, water and acidic material, as well as unburned and partially burned fuel. At the same time, the stress placed on the oil during engine operation gradually depletes the components that determine the oil’s performance. Refreshing the oil on a regular basis ensures that the right balance of components is present in the oil.\nIt also removes waste materials that might otherwise result in increased deposit formation, corrosion of metal components and increased wear.\nWhy not just keep topping up the engine oil?\nIf you simply keep on topping up your oil, you put more stress on the older oil that remains in the engine. And this stress issue has become worse in recent years as lighter, modern engines now run with about 25% less oil in their sumps. Shell Helix oil has a powerful ability to clean up your engine components and goes on keeping engines clean through to the next oil change.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It also equips us to partner with the University of Aberdeen to develop ground-breaking research, further improving patient care in the future.” \nThe da Vinci line of robots have been designed to decrease the need for more invasive operations with smaller incisions as well as seeing a reduction in pain and blood loss due to the higher precision afforded by the technology.  The da Vinci robot was originally introduced by NHS Grampian in 2015, and has been used to treat gynaecology and urology patients. It will now be reserved for staff training purposes.\nThe Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery system, which was created by the formerly trading US-based MAKO Surgical Corp. before the company was acquired by Stryker Corporation in 2013, was designed for orthopaedic joint operations, including knee and hip replacements.  NHS Grampian’s new Mako robot will be based at Aberdeen’s Woodend Hospital, whilst the two new da Vinci robots will be situated at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.\nAfter six years of use of the initial da Vinci surgical robot, feedback collated by surgeons has been overwhelmingly positive, with shorter recovery times and a better quality of healing subsequent to procedures.\nConsultant urological surgeon Justine Royle  noted:\n“Surgeons have been using our first da Vinci robot for the last six years and in that time we’ve really seen a benefit for our patients … Since becoming the first territorial board to start using these machines we have really seen the advantages and have striven to place ourselves as a centre of excellence within Scotland with this technology. It’s all an investment in the future of our patients and NHS Grampian.” \nMs Royle elaborated further, saying:\n“The setting and equipment it provides really is ideal for developing and honing skills that are going to become more and more desirable and, indeed, necessary in the future.”\n“Some patients do still arrive in hospital apprehensive, believing that the machine is doing all the work using artificial intelligence, but the machines are very much controlled by our surgeons – they don’t ‘think’ and operate on their own, it’s no different from a car in that sense, we are fully in control.” \nThe first patient to be treated by one of the latest robots, Alan Black, was very pleased with the service provided, saying:\n“I was operated on with the robot, it’s smaller holes needed, so I think I’m feeling better than I could have otherwise.” \n“If anyone is worried about undergoing surgery where a robot is used, there’s nothing to be apprehensive about. The surgeon is still in full control and ultimately it benefits us as patients … Ms Shaikh was in charge of it all and has been into the ward every day to see me … The level of care has been exceptional – you can’t fault anything.”", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It was definitely the envy of all of the kids in the room, and I hear more than once “I want to build this at our house”. And what kid would not want a Hot Wheels® track that zooms up over your bed, under your desk and climbs the walls!\nI will be the first to admit that Hot Wheels® is a new area for me. As a child I played with a lot of Barbies, X-men and even Ninja Turtles. But I don’t think I had any Hot Wheels® sets of my own. Well that has all changed as the mom of 2 boys and we are having tons of fun building tracks and racing Hot Wheels® cars around the house.\nI know my boys are still young, with Monkey being 3.5 yrs and Little Bear 1.5 years, but they both enjoy playing with Hot Wheels® in their own way. I love that the different sets are versatile enough to keep them both interested in playing now and for years to come. We are still keeping things fairly basic right now, with Little Bear enjoying the Daredevil Drop the most. He is able to load up the car and release the lever all by himself to watch the cars go flying.\nPlaying with Hot Wheels® is just not all about fun, I have been able to sneak in some great teaching moments while playing with Monkey. Using the 3-speed launcher we have been able to discuss the amount of “energy” we give the cars to go around the track. Too much and they will fly off, and not enough and they won’t make it very far. It is wonderful watching him play, having fun and learning new concepts at the same time.\nRemember to break out the creativity when you are building you are not limited to keeping tracks on the floor! Use tables, chairs or even boxes to create multi-level tracks to race around. Hot Wheels® offers some great tips for successful track building to help you create an awesome track for your Hot Wheels® cars to zoom around.\nRight now you can take part in the Hot Wheels® Track Builder Challenge! You may not be ready to take on a 1000 piece track build, but that does not mean your kids can’t create their own unique ultimate track for a chance to win a custom built track for your home and a Track Party hosted by Hot Wheels®!!!

People facing severe illnesses, or patients who are not in a condition to be brought into the room for taking their MRI scans face a lot of issues with the existing MRI machine. However, researchers have found a solution to fix this. Here is the solution that has been developed using the advancements in science and technology:\nAccording to recent reports by leading science and technology portals, a company called Hypperfine has developed a portable MRI machine. The MRI machine can be shifted from one room to another and be kept at the bedside. The MRI machine costs $50,000, which is a lesser amount when compared to the costs of the traditional MRI machines.\nMoreover, powering the portable MRI machine is a 0.064 Tesla magnet, which roughly translates to 10 times less power in comparison to the 1.5 Tesla magnet that is present in the conventional MRI machines. This MRI machine also does not require patients to be in a 'no-metal room', and they can use the device to take MRI scans even while wearing belts, watches, and other jewellery; which is a safety hazard in traditional MRI machines. According to the reports, the MRI machine also received clearance from the FDA for taking MRI scans of people's brain over the age of two years. On the same day as that of the FDA clearance of the portable MRI machine, a study was published about the machine involving 85 stroke patients who used the bedside MRI machine for a week. According to the data collected during the study, only six patients experienced claustrophobia, and a few could not fit into the portable MRI machine.\nAccording to Kevin Seth, MD, Senior Author and chief physician at the Yale School of medicine, the medical fraternity, along with advancements in science and technology, have tried and flipped the concept of MRI. He says that the portable MRI machine is a crucial development in the transition from having to get the patients to the MRI facilities to bringing the MRI to the patients. Kevin Seth also confirms that their early work suggests that Hyperfine’s portable MRI machine is safe and viable to take MRI scans in a complex clinical care environment.\n(with inputs from agencies)", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

We have processed hundreds\nof lots, ranging in size from 1 component to thousands of components. The SolderQuik\nTM BGA Preform consists of an array of solder spheres held in a water dispersible\npaper/polymer carrier. These preforms provide a simple, extremely flexible, repeatable\nprocess, which requires very little operator skill.\nProcess Flow of SIX SIGMA BGA Reballing Lots\nReballing lots first receive an incoming QA inspection for catastrophic defects,\nsuch as damaged or missing pads, exposed or damaged metallization, and substrate\ncracks. The parts are then sent through an aqueous batch cleaning process, designed\nto remove flux residues left on the part during board placement and removal. After\ncleaning, the components are sent through a moisture removing bake of 125oC\nfor eight hours, and then dry packaged to prevent \"popcorn\" cracking and delamination\nThe next step is to remove the residual solder from the components which is typically\nleft from the board removal process. For lots containing only a few components,\nwe use solder wick and a temperature controlled soldering iron. For lots with larger\nnumbers of components, we remove residual solder using the Flexline«\nRobotic Wave Solder System. Both \"deballing\" processes are followed by another clean\n***Improper procedure for removal of residual solder can cause irreparable\ndamage making the pads unsolderable. Customer should never remove residual solder\nbefore sending parts to SIX SIGMA for reballing.***\nNew solder sphere arrays are then attached using SolderQuik TM BGA\nPreforms on an inline Heller convection oven.\nAfter ball attach, the parts undergo a thorough post clean process.

We focus on design and manufacturing excellence, paired with exceptional service, to achieve customer satisfaction with every project. We maintain a range of certifications, including ISO, Intertek, IPC and ITAR. We maintain strict processes and provide extensive testing services to ensure top quality.\nArgo EMS has been ISO certified since 2002, when we became the first contract manufacturer of printed circuit board assemblies in the Northeast to gain registration. We have continuously maintained ISO registration and successfully transitioned to each new standard, including the current ISO 9001:2015 standard. Our ISO registration is a testament to the strict control of our processes, reporting, record keeping and documentation controls.\nArgo understands that quality starts with employee training. We have IPC certified instructors on staff to ensure employees are highly skilled. Most employees are cross trained to fully understand our processes and have the ability to handle the majority of responsibilities in the manufacturing process. We maintain thorough detailed training procedures and records in accordance with ISO and IPC standards.\nArgo uses Siemens Valor Process Prep and Unicam software for CAD translation of your PCB design. This software establishes many points of manufacturing precision and control:\n- Programs Pick & Place equipment\n- Programs Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) equipment\n- Creates Work and Assembly Instructions\n- Generates Inspection Documentation used in our ViewStation Inspection Stations\nBy using this software, we are able to produce boards exactly to your design specifications and bill of materials quickly and accurately. To further ensure accuracy and consistency, we include photos and color descriptions for each step of the manufacturing process. The color-coded part numbering block diagrams match the appropriate color-coded component location on the assembly diagrams along with all necessary part characteristics, such as polarity marks and component shape outlines.\nWe maintain a rigorous first piece inspection system where each step of the assembly process is verified for completion and accuracy by a certified inspector prior to continuing production. This ensures your product is flawless throughout the manufacturing process. We use acceptable quality limits (AQL) to determine the frequency of in-process inspections. These continual inspections provide immediate feedback if any issues arise during manufacturing.\nShould an issue arise, our technical service team reviews documentation and component information, and addresses any manufacturing difficulties. We believe in open communication with our customers, to minimize any lost time and ensure all decisions are correct and verified.\nOur standard for final inspection is 100%. We utilize both manual visual inspection using 40x magnification and Automatic Optical Inspection using a Viscom SO3088 AOI. AOI provides 100% component and solder joint inspection through 8 high-resolution cameras. With advanced lighting, optics, and image processing capabilities, AOI greatly enhances inspection repeatability, accuracy and throughput.\nIn accordance with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 standards, we perform an annual calibration on all test equipment ensuring accurate measurements are performed on your products and assemblies. All calibration records are maintained and archived in accordance with our AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 Quality System.\nOn August 22, 2012 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published the regulations implementing the conflict minerals reporting obligations of Section 1502 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. Argo EMS is in the process of meeting the requirements of these regulations and will be in compliance well before the initial reporting date of May 31st, 2014.\nArgo EMS is committed to a responsible supply chain that, among other requirements, is Conflict Free. To this end, we continue working with our supply chain to strengthen compliance and ensure only “DRC Conflict Free” materials are used.\nArgo EMS and its suppliers do not purchase tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold directly from smelters or mines. Further, there are many supply chain layers that separate us from the smelters and mines from which these metals are sourced. Consequently, we require our suppliers to determine the sources and conflict status of the materials supplied to Argo EMS and its customers. More specifically, we require all Argo EMS suppliers to certify the smelters or mines from which the metals were obtained. Based on the written assurances Argo EMS has received from its suppliers, we have no indication that printed circuit board assemblies supplied by Argo EMS contain minerals from conflict mines or smelters in and around the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Argo EMS is pleased to announce that we are a conflict free supplier. Detailed compliance declarations are available upon request.\nArgo EMS is committed to working within the EICC framework to provide verification of compliance throughout our supply chain. Information on the EICC and compliance tools available may be found at www.eciaonline.org and www.conflictfreesmelter.org. We fully understand the importance of this issue and we will continue gathering compliance information from our supply chain as sources are added and or changed.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Under the terms of the Agreement, MAN PrimeServ, MAN Energy Solutions’ after-sales division, will deliver 15 engine retrofit solutions for conversion of vessels powered by conventional S90 engines from the Seaspan and Hapag-Lloyd fleets to dual-fuel engines capable of running on methanol. This Agreement includes 45 optional engine retrofit solutions. Each conversion can provide a CO2 reduction of 50,000 –70,000 tonnes each year when operating on green methanol. MAN will build and test a base engine to qualify the methanol conversion technology and kits for the S90 engine, as these engines are no longer in production.\nPeter Curtis, Seaspan Executive Advisor, said, “Developing this solution with MAN will enable the marine industry to progress its advances in decarbonization by means of improving performance of in-service conventional vessels. The challenges ahead cannot be met by newbuilding alone. We believe that retrofitting will be a necessary and major component of both our emissions abatement program, and that of the maritime industry. In addition, this solution creates an effective way to extend operational lifetimes of the existing fleet, deliver fuel flexibility, and avoid unnecessary additional newbuilds.\n“This industry-leading effort between Seaspan, Hapag-Lloyd, and MAN demonstrates the necessity for increased collaboration across many aspects of our industry as we increasingly seek novel and innovative solutions to more complex and difficult challenges than we had in the past. Our forward thinking and collaborative mindset, working with our customers and technology partners for many years, has consistently provided a solid foundation for the continued growth and leadership position of Seaspan,” concluded Curtis.\nSeaspan is the largest global containership lessor, primarily focused on long-term time charters with the world’s leading container shipping lines. With an industry-leading newbuild program of 70 vessels, Seaspan will bring its owned fleet to a total of 200 vessels and 1.9mn TEU capacity.\nWith a fleet of 250 modern containerships and a total transport capacity of 1.8 million TEU, Hapag-Lloyd is one of the world’s leading liner shipping companies. Hapag-Lloyd aims at operating its vessels in a climate-neutral manner to become net-zero carbon by 2045.\nBing Chen, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Torsten Pedersen, Chief Operating Officer, signed the Agreement on behalf of Seaspan Corporation, while Thomas Leander, Head of Solutions and Site Manager, Frederikshavn, Denmark; Jens Seeberg, Head of Retrofits & Upgrades, MAN PrimeServ Denmark; and Brian Østergaard Sørensen, Vice President and Head of R&D, Two-Stroke Business signed on behalf of MAN Energy Solutions.

He graduated to an Indian and continued through a variety of bikes. But two back surgeries in the 1980s coupled with the unsafe drivers of Florida prompted him to give up his motorcycle license when he lived in that Southern state.\n“I can walk and all that, but it’s difficult to hold a two-wheeled motorcycle up,” he said.\nPlomaritis rekindled his love for riding in 2004 after he met the owner of Motor Trike at a Myrtle Beach, S.C., gathering. The Troup, Texas, company manufactures kits that convert select motorcycles to three-wheeled trikes.\nPlomaritis has been a Motor Trike dealer since 2005, converting larger touring motorcycles to three-wheeled trikes.\n“I got into this because I was in the situation many people are in where I can’t ride a two-wheeled motorcycle,” he said. “I was looking for a way to continue, and that’s this.\n“I enjoy doing the same for other riders in my situation. I enjoy making trikes for those in the same situation.”\nThe kits replace a bike’s rear wheel, drive train and swingarm with replacement manufactured parts and a fiberglass rear body. Unlike some other conversion kits on the market, Motor Trike doesn’t require any welding or the alternation of remaining parts, Plomaritis said.\nCustomers include those too small to be comfortable on the large touring motorcycles that lend themselves to conversion, such as a woman from Junction City who wrecked the Harley Davidson she got to ride with her husband.\n“After the crash, she was afraid to ride it and parked the bike in the garage,” he said. “They got a conversion, and she rides that bike everywhere. She’s got over 10,000 miles on it since the conversion.”\nBut Plomaritis said the bulk of his customers and those driving the popularity of Motor Trike, its competitors and the introduction of Can-Am two-wheel front-end trike are, like him, Baby Boomers.\nIt is a growing market he hopes to further tap into with his new Tonganoxie showroom and shop at 1601 Commerce Dr. in the Urban Hess Business Center.\n“This location appeals to me because it is on the route I used to take from Leavenworth to Lawrence,” Plomaritis said. “It’s a very scenic route. When motorcyclists are out running, they take Leavenworth Road to Tonganoxie Road to connect to (U.S. Highway) 24.\n“On any good riding Saturday, I can look out the window and see motorcycles.”\nWith the move from a home-based business, Plomaritis is offering after-market motorcycle products, while his wife, Barbara Gail, will offer apparel, he said.\nThe shop is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

And yes, that meant that, in the swelter of a July or August mid-afternoon, all we were doing was blowing hot air around. But it was better than nothing.\nThe day that the fans would be dragged up from the basement and dusted off for the season was an exciting one, indeed, for it meant that school was almost out for the summer, that our pool membership would soon kick in, and that shoes and sneakers were soon going to be ditched for bare feet.\nWe had a number of fans in the house. My parents had a large window fan that screwed into the casing. The placement of this unit was key: It was put in a window that not only blew air across my parents' bed but also blocked the steady, screamy noise that came from our neighbors' use of their in-ground pool. This fan was dual-action, meaning its rotation could be reversed, therefore making it suitable for both blowing cool air in but also sucking hot air out.\nMy bedroom had a side-by-side fan that we inherited from somewhere. It looked like a 1940s prop plane, with its two blades left and right. Dad used to sit it in my window and close the sash to keep it in place. Airflow could be directed by the pivot points that were built into each side, but for the most part, I was content to let it blow forward. I also distinctly remember that one of the blades must have bent just a centimeter or so, causing it to touch repeatedly on the metal protective grating that covered its face.\nI learned very early on to ignore this soft ping-ping-ping, especially at night.\nI loved sleeping with the fan on. I not only enjoyed the rush of coolness that it brought in after the sun went down, but I also let its steady drone lull me to sleep. The concept of \"white noise\" wasn't formally known back then -- at least to me -- but I understood at an early age its power and comfort.\nThe granddaddy of all our fans, however, was the green giant that occupied the kitchen.\nThis was a heavy-duty monster that my parents received as a wedding gift in 1957. It weighed a ton, had a motor that looked like it could drive the screws on the Titanic, and best of all, it moved a hurricane's worth of air.\nThe casing had gotten a little battered over the years. And one of its features -- a set of louvers that could be set to oscillate back and forth to vary the direction of its breeze -- hadn't worked in a long time. But this powerhouse served us well season after season.\nThe big fan had a tough job: Cooling the kitchen. My mother directed summer meals to be as least reliant on the stove as possible. And the oven was an absolute no-no in July and August. But even still, the five of us would gather at the table each evening, the roasty setting sun blasting in from the back window, and eat, relying on the big fan to make the meal bearable.\nThis thing was loud, too. When it would start up, you'd think a B-52 was readying for takeoff: Brrn-Brnn-BRNN-BRNN-BRNN-BRNNNNNNN... Conversations around the table were often shouted to be heard above the din: \"CAN YOU PASS MORE CORN, PLEASE?\" \"CAN I HAVE SOME MORE ICED TEA?\" \"ANOTHER SLICE OF TOMATO, PLEASE!\"\nMy mother also employed the big fan to help with that chore that is now long extinct: Defrosting the freezer. Once a summer, she would clean the refrigerator from top to bottom and then turn her attention to the large, drawer-like freezer unit below it. After unplugging the appliance, she'd remove all the contents, open the drawer, and let the mounds of accumulated frost melt away. This involved a steady emptying of the drip pan below. And to force more hot air inside, speeding the task, she'd position the big fan right in front of it and let it do its work.\nThis whole affair was fun for we kids because: A) we could stand nearby and enjoy \"air conditioning,\" as the fan disbursed the cool air. B) we could wriggle off large pieces of the frosty accumulation, form them into snowballs, and pelt each other in the backyard.\nFast-forward to today. The summers are now less arduous, thanks to central air conditioning throughout our home. We flick it on without a thought, let it keep us comfortable, and pay the jump in the electric bill each month.\nBut we still have a couple of fans, for that late-spring and early-summer period when it's too cool to use the A.C. full-time but it's still worth moving some air around.\nAnd as much as I appreciate air conditioned comfort on those humid nights when, without it, our sheets would be a sodden mess and sleep would be difficult to find...\nI still prefer the nights when I can leave the bedroom windows open.\nNestle under a cool sheet.\nAnd let the steady sound of the fan lull me off to sleep.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Over the next six months, Toyota will be building and deploying 600 examples of the plug-in Prius for testing, primarily in Japan, the United States and Europe. The Japanese market will get 230 units, with 150 coming here and 200 going to Europe. The cars will be leased to government, commercial, and university fleets for field testing that help to gather more data on how PHEVs are used in the real world.\nTo accommodate plug-in charging, the Prius gets a 5.2 kWh lithium ion battery pack in place of the standard nickel metal hydride unit. The battery and associated charging hardware appear to be the only significant mechanical changes to the PHEV. The motor and other hybrid hardware are apparently carried over intact. Even with the standard motor, Toyota claims a maximum EV speed of 62 mph.\nOn the Japanese JC08 cycle, the Prius can run about 14.5 miles before depleting the battery. It's not clear what the performance level will be in EV mode and what sort of driving will trigger the engine to start up while the battery still has available power. Based on that driving cycle, the PHEV is rated at 72 mpg (U.S.) in post-EV hybrid mode which compares with the 50 mpg or so that we typically see in real use. Since the hybrid system is essentially unchanged, the 14-mile range is probably a bit optimistic. The combined efficiency based on a utility factor of .436 (43.6 percent of driving in EV mode) the Prius is rated at 134 mpg (U.S.). The PHEV Prius will undoubtedly get very good mileage, but triple digits are unlikely for most people. During the presentation, Toyota also announced a target of retail sales for the PHEV of late 2011 at an 'affordable' price.

In this article we view this supply chain through the eyes of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers. We highlight external forces impacting the market, suggest approaches for those looking to move up the value chain, and give insight into the future of the industry.\nThe automotive industry can be brutal in the tightness of its margins and balance of power, with suppliers often super-reliant on a small number of high-value contracts on whose continuation the business depends. The industry, like many others, is also sensitive in its exposure to technological disruption, shifting economic forces and the political winds of change.\nThis is nothing new. The global vigour of the industry suggests that the market for automotives will always be with us, in one shape or form, for as long as people want to get from one place to another in relative comfort and privacy\nThe global automotive market has an outstanding record for adapting to change and successfully responding to the stresses and pressures upon it. But there’s equally no doubt that right now is an exceptionally testing and challenging moment for automotive suppliers as they face an unprecedented fusion of political, technological, commercial and strategic issues.\nThe global forces of change\nFirst and foremost, the US administration’s 'America First' approach to foreign policy and its impacts on trading alliances – from NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership to the Korean Free Trade Agreement – are un-settling the market. Over the Atlantic, Brexit is having a similar (if not so widespread) impact.\nEnvironmental and automation technologies are revolutionising vehicle design, manufacture and marketing to such an extent that even the concept of what a vehicle could and should be is increasingly uncertain. This changing landscape is putting OEMs in the spotlight. As the name suggests, OEMs make auto parts which are then used in the assembly and installation of a new vehicle. So, when the definition of a vehicle itself is under question, the whole supply chain feels the impact.\nManufacturers are consolidating their models onto fewer and fewer platforms, exposing suppliers working on older models and platforms to significant risk. And, as OEM strategic planning becomes increasingly global, suppliers are finding it harder to predict, adapt to and influence the decisions that will shape their future.\nTime for more guidance for suppliers\nA quick Google search will reveal academic and business papers on all these trends, the political ones in particular. But what seems to be broadly lacking is any guidance on what suppliers should be doing to protect and grow their business with OEMs.\nWe think that the time is here for that to change – so here goes.\nFirst and foremost, it’s vital that suppliers take a little time to step back and consider the state of their OEM relationships. How much life is left in the model or models you’re working on? Is the platform you supply there for the long term? If not, are there alternatives for you to target?\nThen look at your own organisation. Are you in good shape to offer the pricing and quality OEMs will be looking for? How can you simplify your business and strip out unnecessary areas of cost?\nScenarios for assured future success\nNext, focus on reading the future. Follow this four-point action plan:\n- Consider what future strategic direction the OEMs are most likely to take. (While you cannot necessarily influence their decision-making, you should try hard to understand the issues and influences that OEMs are most likely to consider.)\n- Next, use that insight to predict and consider a range of possible future scenarios. (We recommend you aim for a five-year window.)\n- Develop a series of action plans based on every scenario, so you’re well-placed to adapt to changing circumstances as they emerge.\n- Then, in an environment of changing taxes and tariffs, undertake a granular analysis of the costs of doing business and how these are likely to change over the months and years ahead.\nThat will give you the insight needed to maximise your price-competitiveness while protecting the margins needed for growth and investment.\nClimbing the value chain\nIn our experience of working with automotive clients, once you’ve done all this work, you’re in a position to move up the OEM value chain.\nYou can see examples of this happening in markets across the world. For example, suppliers in Mexico are gaining a global reputation for their R&D work on environmental technologies. This is additionally stimulated by their government’s focus on green automotive tech, which is also driving strong sales of hybrid and electric vehicles.\nBut you might need some help on the way. If the right direction to take involves working across multiple jurisdictions, for example, you might wish to seek partnerships with other suppliers.\nWorking with a consultant can also help you mitigate risk, take the pain out of contract negotiations and ultimately maximise your margins. This applies as much to working with supply partners as with OEMs.\nCritically, consultants with experience of the global automotive industry often have access to levels of seniority – where the decisions get made – that are closed to many suppliers.\nAbove all, though, take that time out to consider your position, both today and into the years to come.\nIt’s at moments like today, when the industry finds itself in a complex and uncertain place, that the value of properly thinking through the options for creating a more certain future truly comes into its own.\nSpecialists from our network of member firms can help automotive suppliers to navigate the complex global challenges ahead.

Paul Arzens designed colorful TEE carriages and sharp-cut locomotives for the French national railways.\nMatching posters for these SNCF carriages were created by graphic designer Philippe Foré. He played with lines and colors to express speed and strength. The posters promoted legendary trains such as the Mistral and Capitole.\nIn 1950 the SNCF started a fast train from Paris to Marseille with first-class seats only. It was named Le Mistral after the wind blowing from the northwest to the Mediterranean. In 1952 its route was extended to Nice. For a long time the Mistral was the fastest regular train service in the world. Originally hauled by steam, the train's speed increased further as electrification progressed. It reached Lyon in 1952 and Marseille ten years later. The 861 kilometers were covered in around 7 hours (an average of 120 kilometers per hour), almost 2 hours faster than in the early years.\nThe Mistral was usually hauled by a CC 7100 locomotive, which had set a speed record of 331 kilometers per hour in 1955. These locomotives were built by Alsthom between 1952 and 1955 according to a design by Paul Arzens.\n'This beautiful two-toned-green locomotive, trimmed with chrome lines and splashes of red, wheels an express that typifies elegance as well as speed', Freeman Hubbard wrote about the Mistral in Railroad Magazine in 1962.\nThe carriages certainly contributed to the elegant appearance. In 1956 the Mistral was equipped with streamlined stainless steel carriages, called Inox (acier inoxydable) in French. These were deluxe versions of the steel DEV coaches that the SNCF was using since 1950. The French Inox carriages were inspired by American 'streamliners'. The Mistral 56 series consisted of two types: a five-compartment bar car and eight-compartment coaches. There were no Inox dining cars because Wagons-Lits carriages were added to the Mistral for this purpose.\nUn nouveau Mistral\nIn 1965 the international criterion was abandoned for the Trans Europ Express (TEE), a network of first-class day trains linking over 100 European cities, which had started in 1957. Domestic long-distance trains were added to the TEE network, the Mistral being one of the first in France. The existing Inox coaches were fitted with a red band with a Trans Europ Express inscription.\nIn 1969 it was time for un nouveau Mistral with new, even more luxurious Inox coaches. These were based on the PBA type carriages that were introduced in 1964 for the TEE service on the Paris-Brussels Amsterdam (PBA) route. The new train composition also had an Inox restaurant car and a service car wit bar, kiosk, hairdressing salon and a secretary service where businessmen could dictate letters and telegrams. A characteristic detail of the carriages were the horizontal blinds between the double glazing of the windows.\nPhilippe Foré created a poster for the Nouveau Mistral featuring the distinctive horizontal Inox ripples. Foré later described the process of conceiving the poster: 'I was in the train, looking out of the window. All was cut into stripes. The sun projected the shape of the windows. All broke down into lines while the train was speeding ahead. The idea came to me to translate this visually into bands. That's how the Mistral poster was born.'\nA few years later two additional domestic TEE trains switched to the 'style Mistral' using new Inox coaches: Le Rhodanien and Le Lyonnais. The former was the evening train from Paris to Marseille, while the Mistral ran during daytime. The Rhodanien started in 1964 as an international train between Geneva and Marseille, named after the Rhone Valley through which the railway runs. In 1971 the Rhodanien became part of the TEE network. It was fitted with Mistral 69 coaches and the northern terminus shifted from Geneva to Paris.\nThe Rhodanien's travel time from Paris to Marseille was only 6.5 hours. Another luxury express train ran along the first 500 kilometers of the same route, up to Lyon: the Lyonnais, named after the geographical region around Lyon. The train only stopped in Dijon on the outbound journey from Paris; passengers who wanted to return to Dijon from Lyon in the evening could use the Mistral. When introduced in 1968 the Lyonnais was using 'discarded' Mistral 56 coaches; upon becoming a TEE service it switched to the new Inox coaches.\nPhilippe Foré designed altered versions of his Mistral poster for the two other 'style Mistral' TEE trains. An orange-striped edition was issued for the Rhodanian and a blue-toned version for the Lyonnais. While the Mistral original was presented at the Third International Poster Biennale in Warsaw, the Lyonnais version won several awards, including a Sirène d'Or at Milan and the Prix National de l'Affiche of April 1970.\nAccording to the jury report: 'This work of Foré has determined the choice of the jurors by the sobriety of its form and the quality of its interpretation. The jury considers it remarkable for the use of parallels without changing the perspective of the abstracted train. The designer has played with lines and colors to express speed and strength.'\nThe Rhodanien and Lyonnais also had a dining car and a service carriage with all kinds of facilities. An SNCF leaflet stated: 'Dans le Lyonnais vous trouverez les mêmes services que dans le Mistral: boutique, secrétariat, salon de coiffure pour hommes et dames, et bien entendu bar, restauration et aussi des hôtesses qui accompagnant le train pendant tout le voyage.' The predominant color for all these services was red: the synthetic leather chairs in the dining car, the walls of the hairdressing salon as well as the capes of the hostesses.\nPhilippe Fauré (1927-2018) was from the Midi-Pyrénées region and studied design at the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse. After moving to Paris he would become one of the most prolific French poster designers, working for cosmetics and fashion companies. For better legibility Fauré simplified his name and signed his posters with foré only. He created the first of many posters for the French Railways in 1958, cartoonishly depicting a traveling family.\nBy the end of the 1960s his posters became more abstract. His style, soon called 'lignisme', was based on the dynamics of parallel lines at variable spacing, sometimes combined with curves or gaps, all intended to express movement and speed. He was inspired by kinetic art and cinematographic framing. His favorite medium was gouache because it allowed easy retouching.\nAnother legendary French train that became a domestic TEE around 1970 was Le Capitole. This luxury express train connected Paris to Toulouse and was named after the Capitole de Toulouse, the historic heart of the city with the Opera and City Hall.\nThe Capitole started in 1960 with first-class Inox 56-type coaches. The 700-kilometer stretch was completed in exactly 7 hours, but travel time further decreased when special Capitole rolling stock was developed for speeds up to 200 km/h. Six BB 9200 locomotives were altered for high speed. They were equipped with a single pantograph that was more resistant to speed than regular double (diamond-shaped) pantographs. The new carriages (UIC-Y type) were also adapted for speed. Both the locomotive (nicknamed BB rouge) and the carriages were given a red livery with a white band, specific to the Capitole.\nIn 1967 a timetable speed of 200 km/h was actually achieved on part of the route. This speed record (for a regular train service) caused the number of passengers to increase sharply. The next year both a morning and an evening train where deployed.\nIn 1970 the Capitole was upgraded to a TEE service. For that occasion completely new carriages and locomotives were introduced, also suitable for 200 kilometers per hour. They had a partly red livery that referred to the 'old' Capitole, but could also be used on other trains. The new coaches were named Grand Confort and the interior was similar to the Mistral 69 type, with comparable facilities and versions (compartment and corridor coaches and bar and dining cars). The main difference was the exterior that was not constructed from stainless steel but less expensive regular steel. The carriages also had sloping sides so they could be converted to a tilting train, which would allow for faster cornering. But this conversion was never executed.\nDesigner Paul Arzens fitted the Grand Confort coaches with a red-grey livery and orange stripes. He also designed the matching CC 6500 locomotive with its well-known Nez Cassé (sharp nose). The Grand Confort livery of the locomotive featured the same colors as the carriages. Arzens' goal was to create a visual unity, something that was previously only achieved with trainsets. The CC 6500 locomotive was also used for other domestic TEE trains such as the Mistral, although these did not have matching Grand Confort coaches.\nAquitaine and Stanislas\nMore domestic TEE services existed in the southwest of France. In 1968, L'Étendard (French for banner) was introduced with Capitole rolling stock on the Paris-Bordeaux connection. This train was added to the TEE network in 1971 with Grand Confort coaches. A 'mirror train' was also introduced on the same route: l'Aquitaine (named after the region surrounding Bordeaux).\nOne train left Paris for Bordeaux in the morning, the other one in the afternoon and vice versa. This way businessmen could visit one of the two cities and return home on the same day. The 584 kilometer stretch was completed in 4 hours. With an average speed of 145 km/h the Aquitaine was the fastest train in the Trans Europ Express network.\nThe Aquitaine poster by Foré was again using parallel stripes to catch the characteristics of the carriages, but this time the lines were curved and multicolored like a rainbow. The lettering of the train's name was also filled with colors. The same design was adapted for Le Kleber (Paris-Nancy-Strasbourg), while a version with a dark background was used for the 'mirror train' in the opposite direction in the evening: Le Stanislas.\nBoth trains were named after historical figures from the region Alsace-Lorraine to which they connected. The Kléber bore the name of General Jean-Baptiste Kléber, Napoleon's commander of the French troops in Egypt, who was born in Strasbourg. The Stanislas was named after King Stanislaus I of Poland who became Duke of Lorraine in 1709, with Nancy as the capital. The Kleber and Stanislas were promoted to TEE trains with Grand Confort carriages in 1971.\nIndustrial designer Paul Arzens (1903-1990) created aerodynamically shaped experimental cars in the 1930s. From 1947 onwards he worked for the SNCF, designing the electric locomotives of the iconic BB and CC series. Besides their shape Arzens considered the livery colors of great importance, preferably matching the carriages. He conducted tests on a model railway in his workshop, painting existing model trains in different colors to get an impression of the result in a landscape.\nIn the early 1960s Arzens developed the CC 40100 locomotive with a tilted windshield, taking inspiration from the shape of a sprinter (runner) in a starting block. This design evolved in the slightly simplified Nez Cassé locomotives like the forementioned CC 6500.\nThe TEE network reached its largest extend around 1975, but soon afterwards the decline started. Aviation increased and became more affordable. TEE trains with only first class seating at a surcharge were comparatively expensive. Intercity trains with a choice between two classes were more successful. At the same time high-speed trains emerged, such as the TGV in 1981. French domestic TEEs were replaced by two-class express trains between 1976 (Le Lyonnais) and 1984 (Le Capitole). The Grand Confort carriages were partly converted into second-class coaches. They could be recognized from the outside by a green instead of orange stripe above the windows. In the end all former TEE trains in France were replaced by TGVs.\nIn 1975 Philippe Foré designed his last award-winning SNCF poster, titled Air Pur (clean air). It was less abstract in style, but the Grand Confort carriages were still present. In the 1970s Paul Arzens designed the Livrée Béton (light grey livery with orange trimming), but the SNCF's new flag ship - the TGV - was designed by Jacques Cooper, with the color orange prevailing.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The last of three East River suspension bridges to be built, it took over eight years to complete and opened on December 31, 1909.\nIn 2009, the American Society of Civil Engineers named it a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.\nWith more architectural embellishments than any other bridge in the city, the Manhattan entrance features a charming baroque arch and colonnade modeled on the Porte St. Denis in Paris. It is painted in signature blue, and a hidden diamond pattern can be found beneath the walkway and on top of the towers.\nAt one time, two female statues representing Manhattan and Brooklyn stood at the Brooklyn entrance, but they were removed in the 1960s for ease of passage and now stand in front of the Brooklyn Art Museum.\nThe bridge was built to alleviate overcrowding on the Brooklyn Bridge caused by the elevated train and the trolley line, which left only one lane for horse and carriage traffic.\nIn 1901, Gustav Lindenthal, architect and commissioner of the New York City Department of Bridges, presented his plans for “Suspension Bridge Number 3,” which combined elements from the Brooklyn Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge. Construction began in 1901, but Lindenthal’s plans were ultimately rejected, and he was replaced by a new chief architect, Leon Moisseiff.\nThe Deflection Theory\nMoisseiff implemented some of Lindenthal’s ideas, such as two-dimensional towers supported by wire-spun cables. The four main cables were spun in a record four months time in 1908, and the 31 million dollar bridge finally opened in 1909. The new design incorporated a radical new theory, the deflection theory, which held that the inherent structure of suspension bridges made them stronger, thereby allowing for cost cutting measures. This was the first bridge to be built based on the deflection theory, and it became the model for others.\nHowever, the theory failed to account for the development of subway traffic on the outer parts of the lower deck, and by the 1940s the bridge was showing signs of wear. As a result of this design flaw, when two trains crossed the bridge from opposite ends at the same time, each side would dip four feet causing a total deflection of up to eight feet.\nRead More : Top Q And A’s For Biking In New York City\nRepairs and Investments\nIn 1982, New York City Transit invested 920 million dollars to repair the bridge. It finally reopened in the early 2000s and is now structurally sound. A truss stiffening system has been added and subway tracks have been reduced. The Manhattan Plaza, arch, and colonnade have been restored, the south walkway reconstructed, and the lower roadway replaced.\nThe original mile-long pedestrian walkway, which offers spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge, downtown Manhattan, and beautiful New York sunsets, was reopened on the southside in June 2001.\nA new north bikeway was added in 2004. Approximately 450,000 commuters travel across the bridge each day, over seventy-five percent of them by public transit. As of today, no tolls are charged.\nOne Of The Most Popular Film Locations\nFilms that feature the bridge include Eat Pray Love, Ghostbusters, Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and They all Laughed. The iconic view of the bridge from Washington Street in Brooklyn was prominently featured in the classic film, Once Upon a Time in America.\nSo if you are planning a trip to New York City, be sure to include a visit to this historic landmark. And don’t forget to check out the unique tours offered by Liberty Cruise NYC. Boat cruises into the New York Harbor by Liberty Cruise NYC offer excellent views of the Manhattan Bridge and many other sights of this amazing city.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

They had been working on this, but hadn't yet been able to create a system that worked reliably. The small DC motor they had been using would just whine when a low voltage was applied, then start spinning wildly once it got enough voltage.\nWe proposed using a stepper motor. Steppers work great for tasks where a specific angle needs to be moved, and I had experience with controlling them from a previous robotics project.\nBy the time we got involved, it was just a few days (mostly over a weekend) before \"tech\" needed to be complete. This added additional challenge to the project since not only did we need to create a final working product in just a few days, we could only use parts that we had or could get locally (no time for mail order).\nFortunately, we had several stepper motors and various other parts that we knew would be necessary for the project, so we dove right in!\nAdditional technical details will appear in the sections below.\nThey will appear in this format, indented with a teal bar on the left.\nThere were two basic things to do: (1) demonstrate a stepper motor moving a specified amount, and (2) figure out how to get notification from the theatre's control system when it's time to run the motor.\nRunning the stepper motor\nGetting a stepper rotating was pretty easy. I had the necessary parts in my stash and wired up a circuit. For the software, I wrote some simple code to spin the motor when a button was pressed.\nThe picture below shows this test setup. Next to the batteries (on the left) is a\nbreadboard which has a controller (the brains; this is what runs my program) and the\npushbutton that starts the motor running. In the lower right of the picture is a board\nthat I had from a prior robot project. Most of the contents of that board are\nirrelevant for this project, but it was a useful way to connect to the chip that\nhelps control the stepper motor. That board gets power and control signals via the blue wires.\nThe other four wires connect to the motor. Mounted on the motor is a wheel that has\na silver dot to make it easy to track motion when it spins.\nFor MCUs, I like using the Atmel AVR series. The green PCB in the breadboard is a custom board that I designed a while ago. It has an ATmega644 and a voltage regulator (plus a power switch, power-indicator LED, and headers for programming and serial I/O). All of the MCU's pins are available on the breadboard, plus regulated and battery power. The breadboard has a variety of capacitors to help keep the voltage stable.\nThe yellow-brown PCB is also a custom board, designed when I was building a robot that used stepper motors. It doesn't have a solder mask over it, which is why its coloring is different. The IC you can see in the photo is a stepper motor driver. It takes care of sending the appropriate sequence of power and ground signals to each of the coils in the motor. To control it, I just need to pulse a clock line. Another input line indicates whether to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The unpopulated DIP socket on the right side is for another stepper driver IC since the robot had two motors.\nThe software waits for a press of the button, then outputs pulses to have the motor spin. I wanted an easy way to be able to show different speeds and numbers of steps without having to change parameters and recompile, so I ended up outputting different pulses on several lines. The wire connected to the breadboard PCB's upper right pin is the clock input to the stepper driver. I could connect it to any of the first four pins to show different speeds and angles of rotation.\nThe motor is a small stepper that I got for a robotics project several years ago. At that time, I got it running with a setup similar to this one, spinning the wheels in the air. Unfortunately, when I put the weight of the robot on the wheels, the motors weren't powerful enough to move the robot; disappointing considering that its weight was primarily comprised of the motors and some batteries. So, one concern that we had about this was whether the motor would be powerful enough to move the clock mechanism and hands. The motors I got to replace these in the robot are much larger, heavier, and noisier when running, but were also available for this project if necessary.\nI got the stepper surplus somewhere, so I'm not sure about its specs. It seems OK running at 7.2 V, which is the minimum that the stepper driver allows, so that's what we're using. The one downside of this motor is that there are just 20 steps per revolution. The larger ones are 200 steps, but their considerable noise and weight made them less appealing for this project.\nOnce we had the sample motor demo working, we showed it to the theatre staff. They seemed excited by its potential!\nWe got a chance to see the clock mechanism at this point and were pleased to see that it was small and that the hands were very lightweight. I figured that the small, lightweight stepper motor would be able to handle it without any problems.\nWe left a motor with the theatre crew so they could mount it to the mechanism (along with another gearing stage). We still had the second one to use for testing at home.\nInterfacing with the control system\nThe theatre's lighting system, in addition to controlling brightness levels, colors, and movements of lights, also triggers a wide variety of other actions, such as running motors to move scenery. The clock mechanism needs to get its cue from this system.\nFrom conversations with theatre staff, we knew that the light board communicates via \"DMX,\" but we weren't familiar with that protocol. We discussed options with them and decided that the simplest plan would likely be to use an existing LED-control module designed to work with the lighting control system. The module would handle receiving the DMX communications and detecting the appropriate triggers from the light board, and we'd watch the module's outputs to determine when to run the motor.\nWe hooked up the output from the LED module to an oscilloscope to determine what its output looked like. Unfortunately, it wasn't at all what we expected. After a couple hours of experiments and head-scratching, Tom finally suggested that we should abandon the LED module plan and just listen to the lighting board signal directly. I realized that was an excellent idea, so Tom did some research on that system and we both took a little break to watch some of the rehearsals.\nThe LED module is designed to control red, green, and blue LEDs in a strip, reportedly outputting up to 12 V based on the level specified by the light board. We expected that for dimmed values this wouldn't actually be a steady voltage level, but would be a PWM signal -- a pulse from 0 to 12 V with a duty cycle corresponding to the desired brightness level. We had also expected to be able to use one of the colors to provide power to our board and then use the other two colors as triggers.\nThe output was nothing like the square wave we expected, and not conducive to being used as an input trigger. We also had problems with the plan to use one color as power. The three LED outputs share a common power, and asking for an LED to be fully on gave us the expected 12V drop to that color's output, providing what we intended to use as ground. But, we were unable to reliably measure voltage between this \"ground\" and the other color outputs. We experimented with pull-up and pull-down resistors to no avail.\nThis process was of course an ongoing series of attempts to understand or overcome a problem, with the answer appearing to be just within reach. I became so engrossed in this process that I needed Tom's outside observation to break me out of the cycle of trying just one more thing! The reality was that there were too many problems and we really didn't have any solutions.\nTom found some good information on the DMX protocol and we decided that we'd be able to handle listening to the light board directly, so we officially abandoned the LED-module plan. Our next step involved some more work at home, so we borrowed a device that sends a signal that we could use to test our DMX-listening code.\nRevised plan for interfacing with the control system\nThe data sent from the light board turns out to be very easy to interpret. The issue was that the signal is at a voltage that is outside the range that our controller can handle. As you might imagine, there are chips that can do the conversion; there are a wide variety available online, but it's not a common enough consumer-level part to be carried at local retailers. We needed this on a Saturday, which effectively ruled out mail-order.\nThe DMX protocol runs on an RS-485 bus, which has three signal wires: ground, DATA+, and DATA-. The two data lines basically mirror each other as something like +1.5V and -1.5V, with a '1' indicated by DATA+ higher than DATA-, and a '0' for the flip state. The MCU can't tolerate negative voltages, so can't read the data lines directly. Standard RS-485 transceivers do the conversion, so would be the ideal solution.\nWe looked online to see if we could get an RS-485 transceiver locally at Vetco, Supertronix, Fry's, or Radio Shack, but couldn't find one. Local friends also didn't have any.\nI asked for advice from friends in an online robotics chat, and got a suggestion from Richard for a solution for which I had parts. I was quite elated, as the main component was something I had purchased because it seemed like a useful part to have on hand!\nRichard suggested using an op amp and also provided information on the resistors to use in that circuit.\nWe wired this circuit on a breadboard and tested it; it seemed to work fine. We had now done proof-of-concept tests for all the parts of this project and were ready to build the final device.\nBuilding our Device\nI made a list of all the items that needed to be on the board, then planned out where to put things on a perf board. I even had a little extra room for some LEDs and a button; they are useful for testing. After I had a layout, I started soldering.\nI used EAGLE CAD to enter the schematic and also to lay out the board. Even for perf boards I'll be wiring manually, it helps me visualize the component placements and connections. (I don't bother routing traces, but do use the \"air wires\" to identify connections that will need to be made.)\nGetting Messages from the Light Board\nWhile I was working on soldering the board, Tom researched the DMX protocol and wrote code to interpret the DMX communication, watching for the \"channels\" that convey the triggers to which we need to respond. His code collects and stores the values for our channels, then supplies those values to the code that runs the motor.\nIt turns out that the DMX protocol is fairly straightforward: the input is idle high, a low on the line for a minimum specified period indicates the start of a packet, which is followed by a string of 512 bytes, one for each channel. Format is 1 low start bit, 8 bits of data, then 2 high stop bits.\nThe MCU has built-in support for serial communications. After setting up the USART to indicate the baud rate, number of bits, etc, we can just instruct the MCU to watch for data. It watches the input line and provides notification when a full byte has been received.\nBut, we have to detect the low start-of-packet signal manually and then wait for the transition back to high before asking the USART to receive bytes. And of course, we need to ensure that we've seen the low signal for a long enough period to indicate that it's the start of a packet.\nTom's code watches for the signal that a packet is starting, asks the USART to start receiving, counts bytes until the first channel in our series, then caches the received values in an array. At that point, we stop watching the DMX bus and execute the code to run the motor. When that is done, we go back to watching the bus, waiting for the start-of-packet signal.\nOne challenge with receiving the DMX signal is that it is sending data very quickly relative to the speed at which the controller runs. It was an interesting problem to make sure that the code was fast enough to handle all the issues that arise as a result of this.\nThe DMX bus runs at a zippy 250 kHz, so the whole 512-byte sequence can be sent over 40 times per second. This is why we don't bother watching while we're running the motor; as soon as we're done with the motor and ready to process another command, we'll get another packet nearly immediately.\nWhen we need to time something (e.g. the low signal), we typically use one of the MCU's counters: we record the beginning state, loop until the terminating condition is satisfied, then look up the current counter value and calculate the elapsed time. The counter runs at a steady rate, so this is a convenient, reliable way to measure time.\nIn the case of timing the duration of the low input from DMX, we were concerned about the number of MCU clock cycles that this process would take. Once the end condition is detected, we have just two bits before the data is allowed to start. For a 250 kHz signal processed by an 8 MHz MCU, that's just 64 clock cycles. In that short time, we need to detect the input's change to a high state, exit the loop, read the current counter bytes, calculate the corresponding elapsed time, compare it to the required minimum, and start watching for bytes if we saw the low input for long enough.\nWe realized that the data transmission could start before we were ready if we waited until the signal had transitioned to high before spending the time to calculate the duration of the low signal we'd seen. So, we decided to do the timing check during the low period. This meant that the instructions required to check the counter and calculate elapsed time happened before we got to the short two-bit period before data starts, leaving us plenty of time to get ready to receive data.\nWhen testing this code, we found that we correctly picked up the values on the channels we were watching, but we also erroneously picked up values from other channels, acting as if these were our channels.\nMuch head-scratching and thrashing on code ensued. We finally realized exactly what was causing this problem, but still needed to devise a solution.\nWe eventually hooked up the oscilloscope to see what was happening. That didn't really shed much light since it looked as we expected, but in discussing our observations, we had a revelation: during the low period, we were spending so many clock cycles checking the counter and calculating elapsed time (in addition to watching for a high signal) that we missed the brief high stop-bit period between sequences of 0 values; this caused us to believe that the low period had continued uninterrupted, which could cause us to falsely detect a start-of-packet signal. This meant that we would randomly start reading in the middle of the channel sequence.\nSo, we found ourselves once again considering how to minimize the clock cycles spent detecting and reacting to the low start-of-packet signal. Our current code made sure that we could react quickly when the signal transitioned to high, but in return it caused us to spend too much time distracted during the low period.\nAt this point we went to get dinner, because I always think better when I'm not hungry! That worked quite well: by the end of dinner we had a plan. A little more work in the code, and things appeared to be working better.\nWe concluded that we had to minimize our activities during the low period while watching for the transition to high. That meant deferring the check of elapsed time until the high was detected. This of course brought us back to the original issue of having so few clock cycles before the data started. Fortunately, we came up with two solutions to this.\nOur first change was to tell the MCU to start receiving serial data as soon as we detect the high input. This ensures that we don't miss any data. We then have the duration of the first byte (which is conveyed in 11 bits -- 1 start + 8 data + 2 stop) to check to see whether we saw the low input for long enough to indicate that we've got the start of a new DMX packet. If it was too short a time, we just turn off the MCU receiver and go back to looking for a long low input.\nWith this change alone, it is possible that we would have had enough time to check a counter and calculate elapsed time, but it seemed like we were still running the risk of taking too long, so we decided that we should also speed up the calculation of how much time had elapsed during the low signal.\nSo, our second optimization was to time using MCU clock cycles. This can be a risky strategy since any interrupts that happen will not be accounted for, and you can't count clock cycles directly from C++ code. In this case, we have disabled interrupts, and we can look at the generated assembly code to see exactly how the compiler translated our C++ code to machine code.\nDuring the low period, we loop to check the input pin and simply increment a counter each time through the loop. We can look at the compiled code to see the assembly instructions executed while in the loop, then calculate how many clock cycles are used for each iteration. Since interrupts are disabled when this code is running, we have a very accurate measure of the amount of time we spent in the loop. Once we see the transition, it's just a simple compare to see if we've looped enough times.\nThe code uses a 32-bit variable to count iterations of the loop. (A 16-bit variable would wrap back to 0 after just 41 ms.) The input signal is checked by looking at the low bit (bit 0) in register PIND.\nThis is the C++ code:\nulong c = 0;\nwhile (!(PIND & 0x01))\nThis is the assembly code generated (with our comments added for explanation here):\nldi r24, 0x00 ; initialize counter variable to 0\nldi r25, 0x00\nldi r26, 0x00\nldi r27, 0x00\nrjmp .+6 ; jump to check (sbis)\n; the following instructions are executed\n; each time through the loop\nadiw r24, 0x01 ; increment of 2 low bytes of 4-byte counter\nadc r26, r1 ; handle carry to upper bytes from increment\nadc r27, r1\nsbis 0x10, 0 ; skip next inst. if D0 is set (exit loop)\nrjmp .-10 ; loop to check again\nKnowing how many clock cycles are used each time through the loop (7), we can calculate the number of loops corresponding to the minimum time required to indicate that a new packet is starting.\nHere's the final result of the code speed-up:\nWhen a low signal is detected, we enter the 7-clock-cycle loop that watches for the transition to high and counts iterations of the loop. This is fast enough that we won't miss the brief high stop-bit pulses between 0-value channel values.\nOnce the signal goes high, we start the USART so it can catch any data that appears.\nAfter starting the USART, we check to see if the low signal was a long enough duration to indicate the start of a packet. This is a simple comparison of the loop count with a pre-determined minimum number of loops required (based on the MCU clock speed and the clock cycles per loop).\nIf the low was long enough, we start processing the bytes collected by the USART. If not, we just turn off the USART (no harm done in running it briefly and ignoring anything it might have seen) and start watching for another low signal.\nRunning the Motor\nThe demonstration code used a somewhat brute-force approach to generate the signal that goes to the chip that controls the stepper motor. I decided to make the code a bit more robust and flexible, so I re-wrote the main part of the motor-movement code. The new code uses a feature of the controller that I've used many times before, so creating the code was a fairly quick, but this did of course mean that I had new code that needed to be tested.\nThe motor rotates one step each time the clock input to the stepper motor driver goes high. I set up the 16-bit timer/counter to toggle the output line (OC1A) when the counter value reaches a specified value. Changing that target value controls the speed of the rotation. (I knew I wanted to make this change, so I took this into account when designing the board and made sure that the clock input to the stepper driver was coming from one of the counter output pins.)\nThe motor rotation code looks at values from three channels. It uses values on the \"clockwise\" and \"counterclockwise\" channels as the number of steps to make (which correlates to a distance to move), and the value on the \"speed\" channel sets the rate at which the movement happens.\nTesting and Troubleshooting\nSince the DMX testing device we'd borrowed was easiest to use with low channels, we set our code to collect values starting at channel 1. We tried running clockwise and counterclockwise at various speeds, and things seemed to work great.\nBut, we were getting indications (via the LEDs) that sometimes errors were detected when reading the DMX data. Of even more concern, watching for data at channel 200 was very unreliable, and we got communication errors consistently. Our assigned channel was over 200, so this presented a problem.\nWe had one of the LEDs set up to indicate frame errors. It would flicker a bit when we used low channels, but was on nearly solid when we were trying to read from high channels.\nWe spent quite a bit of time trying to track down this problem. We both looked at code and tried many experiments to diagnose what was happening. Tom finally requested that we hook the circuit up to the oscilloscope to see what the signal looked like.\nHere is an oscilloscope reading of the original signal (red) and the corresponding output\nfrom our conversion circuit (yellow). The slight shift isn't a problem, but the shape of the\nwaves is. In our circuit, the transitions between high and low are not instantaneous, and\nshorter pulses don't achieve full voltage before dropping back to zero. This \"sloppy\"\nwave means that the controller sees high values for a shorter time (50-75% of the original),\nwhich ends up corrupting the data.\nThe red trace is the RS-485 signal; it's a calculation of DATA+ minus DATA-. The yellow trace is the output of the op amp. Indicators on the left side show the 0 mark for each trace. Vertical scale is 1 V per gridline; horizontal is 5 μs.\nThe spec sheet for the ATtiny2313 shows that when powered at 5V, it will transition to high at around 3 V, then back to low around 1.5 V (inputs have hysteresis). The MCU's USART will sample the wave several times per bit, so the slow rise time may cause it to erroneously conclude that a bit is 0 when 1 is intended, and also to adjust its interpretation of when a frame starts. This error accumulates as bytes go by and we get frame errors after a number of bytes.\nIt was clear that we truly needed the right part for this job, that our replacement circuit, while seeming to work in simple cases, was not up to the task. By this time, is was Monday evening, too late to order for overnight delivery on Tuesday, and our deadline was Tuesday at 2:00. We considered asking the theatre whether we could get a different (low-number) channel assignment, but were unhappy with the fact that our device was clearly not working correctly.\nRevising the Hardware\nI returned to the online robotics chat and got more advice. David suggested a part that was designed to do the voltage conversion we needed. It's not the specialized chip that I originally looked for, but is an appropriate tool for this job.\nI found a local electronic store that indicated they had it in stock. Tom planned to get up early the next morning to arrive there when they opened. I proposed waiting until we could call and confirm that they actually had it, but Tom wanted to give me maximal time with the part and the store was 30 minutes away. Of course, Tom got there and the peg was empty. Turns out there's a little notice on the site that mentioned that they don't actually have the parts they're showing, they're just in hundreds of warehouses around the country. Gee, that's useful... Fortunately, Tom noticed that the parts were grouped by functionality, so he read me part numbers from nearby pegs. I looked up spec sheets and was delighted to find a couple that looked like they would work; Tom got them both.\nWhile Tom was driving home, I looked at the spec sheets in more detail and selected the part I wanted to use. Both of the new parts were larger than would fit on the existing board, so I grabbed another small board and worked on mounting it to the original board and making the connections for the new chip.\nOnline searching at Supertronix leaves something to be desired, but I'm glad we have a store with specialized parts in the area.\nDavid suggested using 75176, which is a transceiver in a nice little 8-pin DIP. We ended up getting 75173 and 75175, which are 16-pin packages. They are nearly identical, just have slightly different enable options. I ended up using the 75175.\nHere is the completed, updated board:\nThe final board has the controller (an ATtiny2313), stepper motor driver and connection headers, transceiver for RS-485 / DMX communications, a voltage regulator to convert from the input 12 V to 5 V for the controller, another regulator for 7.2 V to the motors, a programming header, various capacitors, a diode for reverse voltage protection, and the LEDs and pushbutton.\nWith the new part wired up, the board worked beautifully! We were cleanly reading our channels, not picking up any extraneous values, and no longer seeing any indication of communication errors.\nAfter the clock was installed, we were ready for the final test: checking to see whether it worked correctly with the actual system. The cue would come from the light board instead of the test device, and the signal had to travel over a much longer wire.\nIt worked great! It responded as expected to all the commands it was supposed to handle and didn't react to commands on other channels. It seemed to move consistently, and as we left, the master electrician was experimenting with the different movements and speeds. Later that evening, the crew would work on getting the light board programmed to move the hands the correct amount at the designated time and would work with the directors on selecting an appropriate speed for the motion.\nWe left to go home and catch up on sleep. We didn't hear anything from the theatre after that, and hoped that no news was good news, but did wonder a little whether they had encountered problems and scrapped it. On opening night, we saw the set designer before the show and mentioned our apprehension about whether the clock had continued to perform correctly. He assured us that it had, and we were elated to see it work during the show.\nAlthough the clock is only briefly featured in the show, it is the center of attention for those few seconds. Even on our second viewing of the show, I felt a bit nervous wondering if it would perform correctly. I've never been a stage mother before! By my third time, I was able to relax and just enjoy the scene.\n|©2000-2024 Idle Loop Software Design, LLC.

But what about your plumbing system? Did you know that there are some things you can do to help prolong the life of your plumbing and dodge costly repairs?\nThis blog post will look at one preventative measure: backflow preventers. We’ll discuss what they are, their various types, why they’re important, and how to choose the right one for your home. Read on to learn more!\nWhat are Backflow Preventers?\nBackflow preventers are devices installed in your plumbing system to help protect your home from contaminated water. Suppose there is a sudden change in pressure in the municipal water system. In that case, they keep water from flowing back into your home’s clean water supply.\nWhy are Backflow Preventers Important?\nBackflow preventers are important because they can help you avoid serious health problems that could occur if your home’s water supply becomes contaminated. In addition, backflow preventers can also help save you money by preventing costly repairs to your plumbing system.\nWhat are the Various Types of Backflow Prevention Devices?\nThere are four main types of backflow prevention devices:\n- Atmospheric Vacuum Breakers (AVBs)\n- Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PCBs)\n- Double Check Valve Assemblies (DCVAs)\n- Reduced Pressure Zone Devices (RPZDs)\nAtmospheric Vacuum Breakers (AVBs)\nThese are the most common type of backflow prevention devices. They’re typically used on irrigation systems, hoses, and other outdoor faucets.\nPressure Vacuum Breakers (PVBs)\nThey are similar to AVBs but can handle higher water pressure. They’re often used on fire sprinkler systems.\nDouble Check Valve Assemblies (DCVAs)\nThese are more complex than AVBs and PCBs. They have two check valves that prevent backflow, an air inlet, and a relief valve. DCVAs are typically used on commercial properties.\nReduced Pressure Zone Devices (RPZDs)\nThese are the most complex and expensive types of backflow preventers. They have two check valves, an air inlet valve, a relief valve, and a pressure-reducing valve. RPZDs are typically used in properties where there is very high water pressure.\nNow that you know the different types of backflow preventers, how do you know which one is right for your home? Continue reading to discover the answer.\nHow to Choose the Right Backflow Preventer for Your Home?\nHere are three factors to consider when choosing a backflow preventer for your home:\nWhat’s the size of your home?\nIf you have a large house with several bathrooms, you’ll need a bigger backflow preventer than someone with a small apartment with just one bathroom.\nWhat type of plumbing system do you have?\nIf you have a standard home plumbing system, you’ll need a different backflow preventer than someone with a well water system.\nHow is the water pressure in your home?\nYou’ll need to determine the water pressure on your property. You can gain this information from your local water utility company. If your home has high water pressure, you’ll need a backflow preventer that can withstand that pressure.\nSo, there you have it. Everything you wished to know about backflow preventers but were afraid to ask. Now that Accurate Backflow Testing & Plumbing has armed you with this knowledge, what are you waiting for?\nSchedule a backflow test and ensure the safety of your water supply!\nIf you need any help with backflow preventer installation and repairs near Parish, FL, don’t hesitate to give us a call.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Perhaps you’ve decided that your bathroom radiators or heated towel rails are long overdue a replacement, and if that’s the case you’ll be wise to consider the following guide. It’s not always easy to know where to begin with designer radiators, so focus on these points.\nHow will your radiator work?\nThis needs to be your first consideration in most cases. Plumbed hot water radiators may or may not be installed in your home, and if that is the case then your best choice is probably to work with that rather than go for electric heating.\nHow much heat do you need?\nThe heat output required to satisfactorily heat a room can be worked out mathematically using a BTU (British Thermal Units) calculator. Radiators will all carry a BTU so you can judge how appropriate each one would be for your room.\nWhere can you fix it?\nMost radiators will need to be permanently attached to your wall. If the wall in your room is built from solid brick or similar strong materials, you shouldn’t be too limited with where you place a radiator. Thin walls which are hollow inside may not be able to take the weight, and you’ll only be able to attach your radiator to the studs or supporting beams are.\nAre your pipes suitable?\nYou need your plumbing to be in top working order when fitting a new radiator, and the pipes need to be able to physically connect up to the new heater as well. If the pipes run through the floor in your room this is often more complicated than if they run straight along the wall, unless the new radiator fits in exactly the same way as your old one.\nAre valves necessary?\nMost radiators designs are fitted with either one or two valves which can be used to adjust their output, sometimes including a thermostat to make this easier to do. Many different styles and types of valves are available, so you should be able to easily coordinate your valves with your chosen radiator.\nHow does it look?\nDespite all these practical points above, the overall look is often what people start with when they’re looking for designer radiators, which is understandable. After all, you may be looking at your radiator every single day and it’s usually a noticeable feature in any room, so it’s well worth investing in an attractive option that fits the visual style you’re going for.\nAt TradePlumbing we specialise in balancing all the above requirements and more, making sure our product range caters to as many different styles as possible.

Irish Journal of Agricultural and Food Research, 2008, 47, 205–209|\n|Series/Report no.: ||Irish Journal of Agricultural and Food Research;vol 47|\n|Abstract: ||In automatic milking units single independent teatcups or shell/liner combinations are required. The milking characteristics of three designs of single-teatcup milking units were compared with a conventional milking unit in a pipeline milking system. The combined weight of each single-teatcup shell and liner used in the single-teatcup units was 0.18 kg, 0.38 kg or 0.56 kg. The conventional milking cluster had a claw volume of 150 mL and a weight of 3.16 kg. The single sets of teatcups were applied manually and removed automatically when milk flow from the four teatcups reached 0.2 kg/min. The experiment involved a latin square design with four groups of Friesian cows (10 cows/group), four 2-day periods and four treatments. At a flow rate of 4 L/min during simulated milking the mean vacuum level at the teat-end (artificial teat) during the “bphase” of pulsation was 43.8 kPa with the conventional milking unit and 33 kPa for the three single-teatcup units.

Using a heat conduction theory incorporating coherence, we demonstrate that the strong phase correlation between local and non-propagating modes, commonly named diffusons in the terminology of amorphous systems, triggers the conduction of heat. By treating the thermal vibrations as collective excitations, the significant contribution of diffusons, predominantly relying on coherence, further reveals interesting temperature and length dependences of thermal conductivity. The propagation length of diffuson clusters is found to reach the micron, overpassing the one of propagons. The explored wavelike behavior of diffusons uncovers the unsolved physical picture of mode correlation in prevailing models and further provides an interpretation of their ability to transport heat. This work introduces a framework for understanding thermal vibrations and transport in amorphous materials, as well as an unexpected insight into the wave nature of thermal vibrations.\nFig. 1: Dynamical structure factor.

Among these, the racing helmet is a critical piece of equipment, serving not just as a safety device but also as a component influencing the overall aerodynamics of the driver in the cockpit.\nThis article explores the significant role aerodynamics plays in the design of race car helmets, discussing how advancements in this field have led to the development of helmets that contribute to both safety and performance enhancements on the track.\nUnderstanding Aerodynamics in Racing\nAerodynamics, the study of the dynamics of air and its interaction with solid objects, is a foundational aspect of race car design. It involves managing airflow over a vehicle to minimize drag and maximize downforce, thereby increasing speed and stability. However, the driver’s helmet can also impact the vehicle’s aerodynamics, necessitating design considerations that go beyond mere protection.\nThe Evolution of Helmet Aerodynamics\nInitially, car racing helmets were designed with a primary focus on protection, without much consideration for aerodynamic efficiency. Early helmets were often round and bulky, creating significant air resistance that could impact the driver’s head and neck at high speeds, leading to fatigue and reduced control.\nIntegration of Aerodynamic Principles\nAs the understanding of aerodynamics in racing evolved, so too did helmet design. Engineers and designers began to incorporate aerodynamic principles into helmets, aiming to reduce drag and mitigate the aerodynamic lift that could destabilize the helmet at high speeds.\nAerodynamic Features in Modern Racing Helmets\nModern racing helmets feature streamlined shapes that smoothly deflect air around the helmet, reducing drag. The top and sides are designed to guide airflow seamlessly, minimizing turbulence and the potential for aerodynamic lift.\nVents and Ducts\nWhile ventilation is crucial for driver comfort, unmanaged air intakes and exhausts can disrupt airflow and increase drag. Advanced helmets integrate aerodynamically optimized vents and ducts that provide cooling without compromising aerodynamic efficiency. These features are carefully positioned and shaped to align with the helmet’s overall aerodynamic profile.\nSpoilers and Gurneys\nSome high-performance racing helmets incorporate spoilers and gurney flaps at the rear. These elements work to manage airflow at the back of the helmet, reducing lift and stabilizing the helmet at high speeds. This is particularly important in open-cockpit racing, where the driver’s head is more exposed to airflow.\nThe visor is another critical component in helmet aerodynamics. Beyond providing visibility and protection, the visor must seamlessly integrate with the helmet’s shape to avoid creating drag. Modern visors are designed to fit flush with the helmet’s surface, and some are shaped to direct airflow across the helmet to reduce resistance further.\nThe Impact of Aerodynamics on Helmet Performance\nReduced Neck Strain\nBy minimizing aerodynamic lift and drag, modern helmets help reduce the physical strain on a driver’s neck and shoulders. At high speeds, even slight reductions in these forces can significantly impact driver endurance and concentration.\nEnhanced Stability and Control\nAerodynamic optimization ensures that the helmet remains stable on the driver’s head, even at the highest speeds. This stability is crucial for maintaining control and focus, allowing drivers to make precise movements without battling against the force of the wind.\nImproved Ventilation Efficiency\nAerodynamically integrated ventilation systems ensure that drivers remain cool and comfortable without sacrificing aerodynamic performance. Effective cooling is essential for maintaining driver alertness and preventing heat exhaustion, especially in longer races.\nThe Future of Helmet Aerodynamics\nThe pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency in helmet design is an ongoing endeavor, with manufacturers continually exploring new technologies and materials. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel testing have become standard tools in this process, allowing designers to simulate and refine the aerodynamic performance of helmets before they even reach the prototype stage.\nInnovations on the Horizon\nEmerging technologies, such as active aerodynamics, where elements of the helmet can adjust in real-time to optimize airflow, are on the horizon. Materials that can change shape or properties to better manage airflow may also play a role in future helmet designs.\nThe role of aerodynamics in race car helmet design is a critical factor that intersects the domains of safety and performance. As racing evolves and speeds increase, the importance of aerodynamically optimized helmets will continue to grow. Through a combination of innovative design, advanced materials, and rigorous testing, helmet manufacturers are poised to deliver products that meet the demands of the modern racer—offering protection, comfort, and a competitive edge. The helmet, once a simple piece of safety equipment, has become an integral component of a race car driver’s aerodynamic arsenal, contributing to the relentless pursuit of speed and stability on the racetrack.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

During the day was a complete estimate except midday. This didn’t work at all during the night, season changes and cloudy days.\nAround 3500 B.C.,the Egyptians began to use huge obelisks as sun dials. They would cast shadows on the ground which changed position during the day as the sun traveled across the sky.\nThis along with smaller sun dials by 1500 B.C,was a slight improvement. The problem of nights and cloudy days still existed.\nShadow Clock (Sun Dial)\nAnother Egyptian sundial or shadow clock, possibly the first portable timepiece, came into use around 1500 B.C. This device divided a sunlit day into 10 parts in the morning and evening.\nWhen the long stem with 5 variably spaced marks was oriented east and west in the morning, an elevated crossbar on the east end cast a moving shadow over the marks. At noon, the device was turned in the opposite direction to measure the afternoon “hours”.\nWater Hour Glass\nHour glasses came on the scene about 3400 B.C.,which were very primitive and fraught with problem.\nThese hour glasses consisted of a bowl with a hole in the bottom that water dripped through.\nConsistancy couldn’t be maintained because of the pressure of the water traveling through the hole. All though it did take care of the problem of night time and cloudyness temperture change and freezing was also a big problem.\nSand Hour Glass\nSand hour glasses came about around 700 A.D. This hour glass used sand being poured through a small hole into a glass tube. This was much improved over the water hour glass. The problem with this time keeping device was it only measured small amounts of time and was effected by humitity.\nA huge leap accured in the 14th century when mechanical clocks appeared. The first clock during this period had no face, hour or minute hands. They struck a bell every hour. More improvements brought about faces and hands on the clocks. These early mechanical clock movements worked by having a lever that pivated and mashed with a toothed wheel(gear) at certain intervals. The speed of the clock movements was powered by weights or springs.\nKeywind Clock Movement\nIn the 15th century, Coiled springs unwinding could be used to drive the movement of the hand of the clock was discovered This clock movement was in addition to weight or springs that made smaller clocks and later watches possible. This is the same dependable movement used in our grandfather clocks, wall clocks, and table / mantel clocks.\nPendulum Clock Movement\nIn 1656,Christian Huygens invented the pendulum clock. Whether using coil springs being wound (keywind) or weighted chain drive the pendulum made the clocks accurate with in a minute or two per day compared to 15 minutes a day of earlier clocks. This is the same movement used today in grandfather clocks, cuckoo clocks, and wall clocks.\nThe need for accurate time keeping at sea was so crusial that in 1714 the British Parliament offered a cash reward to invent one. To know the exact location at sea through latatude and longatude,an accurate and small time piece was needed. Large pendulum clocks were impractical on ships. After 4 attempts in 1761,John Harrison succeeded in inventing a small enough clock to be used for navigation at sea. The tiny pocket watch lost only 5 seconds in 6 1/2 weeks. This was the fore runner of wrist watches.\nIn the early 19th century the most important event not only in clock making,but in history took place. the introduction of mass production and interchangable part. This was fueled by the industrial revolution. Before this time grandfather clocks or any other clocks were only available to the wealthy. Eli Terry was the main driver in the clock industry at the time receiving the first patent issued by the Patent Office in 1801.\nDuring the mid to late 19th century the need for uniform time standards brought about worldwide time zones. In 1852,England implemented a telegraph network that transmitted “Greanwich Means Time”,so the whole country was on the same time. In 1884, 4 time zones were created in the United States. In 1884, worldwide time zones were adopted by 25 countries.\nAt the beginning of the 20th century,only women wore wrist watches. Wide spread use by men happened after the first World War.Wearing watches by men was not seen as manly.\nThe military implemented wide spread use of wrist watches because it was much more efficiant during battle as apposed to a pocket watches.\nBy the 1950’s digital watches came about which used electrical currents running through quartz crystals to cause vibrations to operate the movements. This is the type movement used in our grandfather clock, cuckoo clocks, wall clocks, and table /mantel clock.\nThe latest leap in time keeping was acheived in 1967, when atomic clocks were invented using oscillations of cesium-133 atoms to tell time. This clock has an error ratio of 1 second for every 1.4 million years. In 1999 with the development of the cesium fountain atomic clock the error rate dropped to only one second every 20 million years. This is the most accurated clock in the world.\nRapid advancements in technology will keep scientists striving to create the perfect clock in the future. 100% accuratey may not be attainable but we have come a very close. Remarkable improvements of already discovered time keeping devices are destined to continue.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The autoharp is a fretless zither with 36 or more strings and a mechanism of chord bars that mutes specific strings when the player applies pressure to a bar. The air chamber inside the autoharp body is relatively small and contains abundant bracing to support the extreme tension (approx. 2000 lbs.) when all the strings are tuned to pitch. The soundboard is thicker than the soundboards seen on other instruments for this same reason. As a result, the instrument body does not vibrate with the same type of intensity seen in other stringed instruments and leads to lower overall volume. This makes the autoharp sometimes difficult to hear in a group of other instruments. The chord bar mechanism for muting the strings often creates unwanted and very noticeable mechanical sound. Great strides have been made in recent years to reduce the mechanical noise with the introduction of custom made chord bar assemblies, but it can still be an issue. Another factor to consider is the noise created when the fingers and/or finger picks strike muted strings while playing (the so-called “dead wire” noise). The final blow to giving sufficient voice to the autoharp is the fact that it is generally held close to the body when played. This causes a good deal of sound that naturally escapes through the back and sides of the instrument to be absorbed by the player’s body and lost. Those of us who have had the pleasure of playing an autoharp while holding it closely and having our head and ear gently laid against its side are acutely aware of the amount of incredible sound coming out of that autoharp that is never heard by the audience. The goal then, is to find a way to capture this sound and get it out to the audience so they can enjoy it just as much as the player does.\nThe autoharp is not a mainstream instrument for the most part and is rarely seen in live settings. The limited information currently available about amplifying an autoharp seems to be largely anecdotal, with players recommending a particular setup because it’s what they use and fits their particular needs. Although a lot of work has been done by luthiers to improve the overall sound of the instrument as well as document the sonic qualities of various wood species and construction techniques, there is no documentation I am aware of that shows how various autoharp amplification methods compare to each other. This post is my attempt to get more documented knowledge out there by sharing my personal experiences with autoharp amplification over the past several years.\nWhen an autoharp player shows up at a live event, like a casual open-mic session, the typical response is to stick a microphone in front of it, aim at the sound hole and adjust the mix. This usually means a using standard dynamic instrument mic such as Shure SM-57, or an SM-58 vocal mic. This works for casual situations where the sound system may consist of a small PA and a number of different musicians will be rotating on and off stage. But for other situations such as a formal concert or paid venue, a single dynamic microphone is woefully inadequate for amplifying an autoharp. Another common practice, regardless of the type of microphone used, is to apply a heavy hand to the settings at the board by turning the gain up too high and boosting the low frequencies because the autoharp is a relatively quiet instrument and doesn’t have much bass. Doing this makes the autoharp sound boomy and hot. It’s hard to find any fault with the folks running the sound, because few (if any) have ever heard an autoharp played before. How are they supposed to know the best way to amplify an instrument they’ve only rarely seen and probably never heard?\nThe lack of knowledge about autoharps on the part of an average sound crew is compounded by the autoharp player’s own lack of knowledge about how to amplify. Nine times out of ten, the players themselves have little to no experience amplifying their own instruments and no idea what kind of advice to give the sound guy. How do I know this? Because this was ME. For years, I didn’t have a clue — and I’ve talked to dozens of other players with similar live-sound experiences. The vast majority of autoharp players rarely (if ever) find themselves in a position to play publicly unless it’s with a large group of other folk instruments, such as a jam session where amplification isn’t used. But the tragedy in this lack of knowledge is that people who might get the rare opportunity to hear an autoharp played live won’t get to hear what one really sounds like. To me, this is unacceptable.\nOver the past 20 years or so I have used several methods to amplify my autoharps.. My first experiences playing live were usually brief, open-mic sessions using just a dynamic instrument microphone provided by the venue (like a Shure SM57) that was aimed at the front of the autoharp. When I began playing with a small bluegrass band, we used much the same type of setup with dynamic microphones for both vocals and instruments. None of us in the band had any experience running sound either, so we were “flying by the seat of our pants” for the most part. Later on I began playing solo gigs with my diatonic autoharps, and I started looking for a better way to amplify — something that would bring out the subtle sounds of the instrument that a dynamic mic alone simply could not. My first setups involved piezo-type pickups run through an LR Baggs Para-Acoustic DI. The sound of the piezo’s tended to be hot-sounding and invariably amplified the strings closest to the pickup module itself, even when the pickup was mounted on the frame. The LR Baggs DI provided a 4-level EQ which allowed me to shape the resulting sound. But because I play several different autoharps in a single set and each had the piezo placed in a different spot, I had to EQ each one individually. I started out by determining the best EQ settings ahead of time for each one, but when I arrived at the venue the settings didn’t work at all due to variations in room size and sound equipment. I wasn’t happy with the sound anyway because — even when combined with a mic in front of the autoharp — the piezo pickups sounded harsh and edgy to me.\nOnce I gave up on the piezo pickups, I began using a high-quality lavaliere condenser mic by Audio-Technica on my clothing directly behind the autoharp, along with a good quality small-diaphragm condenser mic out front (Shure PG81). Blending the two signals gave me the sound that I wanted, but unless I had a sound guy that knew what he was doing I was left with no way to adjust the sound myself. The only control I could manage from the stage was varying the distance of the ‘harp from both the front mic and the lavaliere. But if the setup wasn’t a “set and forget” type of sound setup with no one controlling the board in real time, any adjustments I would attempt to make from the stage would be offset by the well-intentioned sound tech adjusting the mix to compensate. If the mix was off, I had to live with it. The lavaliere also had its own set of problems, from picking up the noise of my clothing rubbing against it to amplifying my breath sounds if they had the gain turned up too high, etc. When the combo worked, it was awesome. But it only worked satisfactorily about half the time, and I depended heavily upon having a sound tech who knew what the autoharp should sound like. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen very often.\nA few months before a gig I had booked at Winfield, KS in September of 2018, I took a serious look again at how I planned to amplify my autoharps. The Winfield (Walnut Valley Festival) sound crew are some of the best sound techs I’ve worked with and I knew they would do a great job no matter what kind of setup I brought. But I still wanted to get a setup figured out that was going to work well, not just at this festival but also anywhere else I decided to go in the future. Knowing that my typical sets involve at least three different autoharps and that I would be dealing with a different sound system at each of the different stages (plus outdoor conditions like wind, etc.), I started looking at what kind of pickup was going to give me the most consistent signal from instrument to instrument and from stage to stage. The only thing that was going to do that was a magnetic pickup, because a magnetic pickup runs underneath all of the strings and picks up the vibrations from the individual strings equally across the top. At the time, I had only one autoharp with a magnetic pickup installed and I had never used it. The reason I had never used it and why it took me so long to even consider using a magnetic pickup was because I had heard so many negative comments from other players about how “artificial\", “organ-like” and “electric” the magnetic pickups sounded. I wanted sound that was as purely acoustic as possible, so I had not considered them to be a viable option.\nIn spite of my bias against magnetic pickups, I was desperate to get some kind of consistent setup figured out so I could put the issue of live sound for my autoharps to rest once and for all — even if it meant drifting slightly from “pure” acoustic. So I pulled out my trusty LR Baggs Para-Acoustic DI box that I had squirreled away in a closet after giving up on the piezo pickups. I grabbed a cable and connected the autoharp with the magnetic pickup to the DI. I set a flat EQ and ran a cable into my portable amp. I adjusted the gain and volume and started playing something. That’s when the epiphany happened. Guess what? It did NOT sound “artificial”. It did NOT sound “organ-like” and it did NOT sound “electric”. When I got over the initial shock of how good it sounded, I began to listen closely to exactly what I was hearing to see if I could pick up what (if anything) was missing from the sound I was used to hearing when playing un-amplified. Was anything missing? Yes, but not much.\nWhat *was* missing was the brightness of the strings — the high-frequency “sparkle” that comes out of the front of the ‘harp and is a result of the strings interacting with the surrounding air, contact with the finger picks, etc. So I plugged a good large-diaphragm condenser microphone I had at the time into the second channel on my amp and set the mic about 8-10 inches away from the front of the autoharp. I began playing again and mixed the two signals with very little EQ’ing on either the pickup or the mic. Not only did it sound good — it sounded VERY good. I continued to play around with this setup for several days at home to make sure what I was hearing didn’t amount to wishful thinking. When I noticed that I was always smiling whenever I’d play through this setup I knew I’d found what I was looking for.\nIt was at this point that I made the decision to have magnetic pickups installed in all of the autoharps I planned to perform or record with. Because I was looking at putting pickups in eight different autoharps (I play single-key diatonics) I decided to do the work myself in order to have it done within the time frame I was needing and also to keep costs down. I educated myself as to the installation process and armed myself with the tools necessary to do the job properly. I then ordered magnetic pickups from Greg Schreiber and installed them. Once I was finished with the installations, I turned my attention to the rest of the equipment I would need for my live setups: Direct box, preamp, microphones, cables, mic stands, etc.\nFor small gigs, I had been using a small, 100 watt PA (Fender Acoustic100) with 2 instrument/mic channels. Most portable amps are designed with a particular setup or instrument in mind, and mine is no different. It’s intended use is for solo acoustic guitar and vocals, with 3-level EQ on both channels and several built-in effects. Any PA, Direct Box or preamp is going to add its own particular “color” to the resulting sound, depending upon the type of instrument the amp is designed to be used with. The perfect DI/preamp is transparent, adding little if any of its own personality to the sound and is also very quiet, adding no extraneous noise to the mix. The best preamps (those that tout their “transparency” and claim to be “colorless” and “silent”) are typically high-priced items found in recording studios and professional rack systems — not those generally built into portable amplifiers. So I decided to compare the sound of the magnetic pickup when I ran it through the built-in preamp on my little portable amp with the sound when I ran it through my own LR Baggs Para-Acoustic DI box. The result? The sound coming through the LR Baggs unit was quiet, warm, and sounded very authentic. The sound coming through the built-in preamp in my amp was good, but it was more cool-sounding and lacked presence, sounding more one-dimensional than the LR Baggs. Okay — I liked the sound of the LR Baggs DI, and the unit has on-board EQ, a necessity when playing multiple instruments. But it there were a couple of things that made this DI inconvenient: Relatively short battery life and no mute switch to use when disconnecting/switching instruments.\nBattery life on the LR Baggs Para-Acoustic DI is adequate for most situations, and it will bypass the 9v battery if 48v phantom power is available from the house system. But the unit can only be turned on or off by plugging in or unplugging the instrument cable. If phantom power is not available, the battery drain begins the minute you plug in your instrument. If you forget to unplug your instrument during a break, you may not have enough juice to finish the set. Switching instruments can be awkward, requiring a reach down to the floor to turn down the volume knob on the box before unplugging one instrument and then reaching down again to turn it back up once the next one is plugged in. Neither issue was a real deal-breaker, but I wondered if there was something similar out there — maybe a new and improved LR Baggs DI with a mute switch and an option for AC power so I wouldn’t have to worry about batteries? With these issues in mind I started searching online to see what was available.\nPerhaps it was a case of good timing, but when I went to the L.R. Baggs website I discovered that they had just released a new set of acoustic instrument modules a couple of months earlier. They still had their flagship Para Acoustic DI box which had remained unchanged, but in addition they had just added a new set of gadgets that was designed specifically for live acoustic sessions called the “Align Series”. If you follow the link, you’ll see that they are PEDALS. After reading the literature, it appeared to me that they took the DI and preamp circuitry of their popular Para Acoustic DI unit and housed it in a single pedal unit. They call this one the ”Active DI”. Next up comes the “Equalizer” pedal, which takes the EQ control of the Para Acoustic DI and kicks it up a notch with Six bands of EQ plus notch filters and boost. There are four other pedal modules, the “Reverb” (with a very natural-sounding and infinitely adjustable reverb,) the “Chorus”, the “Delay” and the “Session”, which adds compression and saturation. The biggest selling point for me when looking at these pedals was that they all had foot-activated mute switches. This meant I could very easily mute the signal before unplugging one autoharp and plugging in another. In addition, they all had the option of obtaining power by plugging into an A/C source through an adapter. No more worrying about dead batteries in the middle of a set. The icing on the cake was the fact that these units were made by the same company that made the Para-Acoustic DI — whose sound I really liked. So I reasoned that the sound from these modules should be similar. I ordered the DI and the EQ pedals, along with an inexpensive pedal board and a suitable 9v to A/C adapter. When they arrived, I set them up and gave them a go. Did they work? Oh, YES. They worked and sounded just as fantastic as I had hoped they would.\nThe next issue to tackle was determining what kind of microphone would work best for my sets. I rarely sing when I perform, so my focus was on obtaining a mic that was best for the autoharps. I had a small-diaphragm condenser mic (a Shure PG81) that I had been using along with the lavaliere. It did a good job, but if I used that mic for the autoharps I would still need a vocal mic to talk into during the set or sing into on the rare occasions that I actually do sing. I did NOT want to have to bring along another microphone or any more equipment than was absolutely necessary because I’m usually traveling solo. So I pulled out the large-diaphragm microphone I had purchased years earlier which was adequate — but which had also given me problems with feedback on several occasions. It’s focal depth was rather close, meaning I would have to place it within striking distance of my playing hand if I expected it to pick up both the autoharps and my voice. So I began looking at other large-diaphragm condenser microphones that would be suitable for live settings, and in the process I remembered an experience I had a couple of years earlier.\nIn the summer of 2016 I had performed and taught workshops at the Mountain Laurel Autoharp Gathering (MLAG) in Newport, PA. The gentleman who ran sound for me during the workshops had set me up with a single Ear Trumpet Labs large-diaphragm condenser microphone. I was very impressed at the time with how well this mic not only picked up my autoharps, but also my voice as I spoke to the attendees. It managed to do this without me having to stay really close to it. On top of that, the sound was great. So I went to the Ear Trumpet Labs website to see what models they had, what they would recommend for the type of setup I needed. After exploring the available models and options (and visiting with one of their very helpful and knowledgeable staff members), I settled on their Delphina model. When it arrived, I set it up and tried it out. What impressed me most, besides its natural/warm sound, was that it was extremely resistant to feedback. In fact, it was almost as if I had to force it to give me feedback. It did a really good job of picking up the autoharp and my voice without having to be right on top of it. Once I had this mic set up appropriately, I then added the signal from the magnetic pickup and gave the setup a good workout. I adjusted the EQ and the mix until I had something that I thought sounded pretty good. But what sounds good at home doesn’t necessarily translate to what sounds good at the venue. I had learned that lesson the hard way.\nI realized that I would most likely need different EQ settings for each and every autoharp I used, not only because they are from different makers and composed of different woods, but also because each one is tuned in a different key and produces a different frequency range. This told me I would need to change the EQ settings each time I changed autoharps, if my previous experience with piezo pickups was any indication. I wasn’t confident in my ability to pick up the subtle differences between each autoharp and make the appropriate adjustments without some professional help. So I called on Walt Bowers, who recorded and helped produce my last album \"Lyrical\". I packed up all eight autoharps, along with my preamp, EQ module and microphone and headed to his recording studio in Tulsa. We hooked up each autoharp to the preamp only — and then pulled a short recording from each one into the recording system for analysis. Once that was done, we ran an effects loop with the EQ module into the system and played the recordings back. (This way we could adjust the EQ for each autoharp using a perfectly consistent signal from instrument to instrument.) Here’s the shocker: ALL of the autoharps — with the exception of my little Oscar Schmidt B model — used virtually the same EQ settings. Every single luthier model: The Fladmarks. The Schreiber. The Blue Ridge. The Daigle. ALL of the settings were almost flat, with only a very small boost in the bass. I had been dreading the results, thinking that the autoharps would all be so different that I would need at least a couple of separate EQ modules in order to keep from making big changes to the settings every time I changed instruments on stage. But instead, I discovered that the opposite was true. My relief was enormous!\nWhile I was at Walt’s studio, we also checked to see how well-isolated the pickups were from surrounding noise in the room, because I’d heard that some folks had experienced trouble with a “hum” when using magnetic pickups. We found no evidence whatsoever that the pickup itself was either generating electrical interference or picking up anything other than the string vibrations. We tried everything we could think of to re-create anything abnormal, but we came up empty — and Walt commented on how well-isolated the pickups were. As far as the Delphina mic was concerned, Walt was impressed with it also. Not only by its resistance to feedback but also its nice sound. We positioned the Delphina about 12 inches away from the front of the autoharp, slightly above my right hand and aiming slightly downward. This put it in a good spot to pick up vocals also, meaning I wouldn’t need an extra vocal mic for my sets.\nBottom line, this combination is giving me the best live autoharp sound I’ve ever had. Setup is simple as well. When I arrive at the venue and set up, I hand the sound guy two cables: One for the pickup and one for the mic. I tell them to give me a flat EQ — and an open mind ;) . From there, the sound crew can adjust the mix to fit the house and their own acoustics without having to EQ the instrument because I’m sending them a signal that is consistent from beginning to end, no matter which autoharp I pick up. The sound crew appreciates having no surprises. I knew I had a good setup when I glanced over at the sound crew midway through one of my sets and they were sitting with their chairs leaned back and sipping coffee. As far as stage monitors are concerned, I generally tell the crew to give me only the signal from the pickup. Doing this avoids any problems with feedback from the condenser mic (not that I’ve ever had any — it’s worked very well so far). I really don’t need to hear the mic anyway because I’m already getting an earful directly from the autoharp. When I’m doing a small gig, I take my little 100 w amp and run the pickup signal through the pedals and into the instrument channel so as to bypass the built-in preamp.\nYou can put almost any kind of FX module in the pickup signal chain and create some really cool sounds, too. But if you’re wanting a sound that’s as acoustic as possible and big enough for a large venue, this WORKS. NOTE: I use the LR Baggs Align Active DI and the EQ modules almost exclusively. I also got the Reverb module, but use it only rarely and only for specific songs. I did not purchase the others, as I have no need for them at this point.\nTo summarize, the Ear Trumpet Labs Delphina large-diaphragm condenser mic captures the high frequency sparkle of the strings while the magnetic pickup, run through an LR Baggs Align Series DI and EQ modules, gives the fullness of the body — and this combination gives me the most authentic, true and acoustic autoharp sound I’ve been able to find for live settings.\nAs always, YMMV.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

A spray gun gives an electrostatic charge to the powder coating particles, which then are attracted to the grounded substrate being sprayed.\nThe components being powder coated are then cured in a powder coating oven. During the curing process, a chemical reaction takes places in the coating particles, resulting in long molecular chains, creating high cross-link density. This is where the powder coating forms into a protective coating. The end result is a hard, durable coating.\nPowder coating has many benefits compared to other coating methods. Here are some examples:\n- More durable than paint. Resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, abrasions, rust and corrosion.\n- Finishes have an even thickness without runs.\n- Better for the environment than paint. No solvent, fully recyclable, less waste.\n- Attractive finishes in a variety of colors and textures, unique effects are possible.\n- Powder coating is resistant to chemical solvents.\nBefore bringing in your pieces to be powder coated:\n- All parts need holes in order to be hung. If there is no hole you will need to tell us where a small hole can be created.\n- Disassembly is required. Please remove any material that will melt in 400 degrees. All valve stems, center caps and sensors need to be removed from rims.\n- Parts that have pitting marks from rust, could potentially experience more pitting during the sand blasting process. If your material does have severe pitting marks, powder coating will not fill in those marks, leaving them still visible. There are some powder coating finishes that can help “cover up” the pits, texture or hammer finished, but the powder will not fill in the pit marks.\n- We recommend that all material is completely welded at connection points. For example: If a handrail does not get completely welded around the pickets over time those areas that are exposed will rust. Finish Solutions is not responsible for future rust on material that is not fully welded.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Scholastica’s Mission Hospital, a 25-bed facility located at Pambujan, Northern Samar, Philippines eventually has to deal with Covid 19 patients, their need for more equipment that will be useful in the management of such patients is becoming extremely urgent.\nSadly, the small mission hospital is not sufficiently equipped to handle such patients because of engineering and funding issues. “We don’t have enough equipment to deliver oxygen to multiple patients and the oxygen itself is very expensive. It cost over 800 pesos to fill a tank”, said Sister Amadea Donadilla, the hospital administrator. “We rely a lot on donations so we can’t afford to produce our own oxygen like big hospitals do. We don’t have sufficient funds to buy a commercial hospital-grade oxygen generator that cost thousands”.\nHearing such issues, the D4EVF set out to help and find a solution.\nThe answer came in the form of portable oxygen concentrators.\nThese relatively small machines can deliver as much a 10 liters per minute of continuous flow of oxygen and can run for 24 hours, an issue that is very important for patients with breathing problems. They are also designed to deliver “pulse doses” depending on the need of the patient. Unlike old fashion oxygen metal cylinders, they are portable and can be easily moved from bed to bed as they are on rolling wheel casters.\nOxygen Concentrators are also much less dangerous than traditional oxygen cylinders, which can, if ruptured or leaking, cause or increase the combustion rate of a fire. And they are very simple to operate.\nThese machines work by processing room air that is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. Through a filtration process they separate the nitrogen from the oxygen and the resulting product is 90-95% oxygen.\nThe foundation staff did some research to find suitable oxygen concentrators for the hospital. They settled on Respironics Millennium M10 that comes with oxygen percentage indicators. These units are marketed by Phillips Healthcare, a very refutable US health care company. The Foundation also purchased extra Salter Oxygen Kits and Oxygen face masks to complement those that came with the main units.\nThe D4EVF wish to thank the following kind-hearted and generous people that contributed resources to purchase the two (2) units of oxygen generators and other equipment previously sent last year to the hospital.\nPlatinum Level Donors:\n- Maritoni Olaer, DMD (Eagle Rock, CA)\n- Victor Rosales, DMD (Covina, CA)\nGold Level Donors:\n- Russell Rayman, MD (Alexandria, VA)\n- Lourdes Aquino, DMD (Van Nuys, CA)\n- Loida Parungao, DMD (Los Angeles, CA)\n- Ramil Macasaet, DMD (Chatsworth, CA)\n- Racquel Macasaet, DMD (Chatsworth, CA)\n- Carolina Pablo, DMD (Winnetka, CA)\n- Domingo Espiritu, DMD (Iselin, NJ)\n- Grace Serrano, DMD (Los Angeles, CA)\n- Mojgan Ghiai, DDS (Northridge, CA)\nSilver Level Donors:\n- Corazon Bustos-Ali, DMD (Escondido, CA)\n- Jack Moreno, DMD (Chatsworth, CA)\n- Tom Wright (Encino, CA)\n- Glenda Joson, DMD (San Dimas, CA)\n- Armaine de Vela, DDS (Los Angeles, CA)\n- Debbie de Vela (San Gabriel, CA)\n- Luisa de Vela (San Gabriel, CA)\n- Ma.

The application area will determine the need for material properties of the film such as elasticity, light weight, softness, transparency, stickiness, resilience to harsher environments or biocompatibility. This same technology can also be used to produce porous membranes.\nHow it’s Made\nThe films are made up of fillers surrounded by a matrix, usually conductive particles and a polymer. The mechanical properties of the films are mainly given by the matrix, while the conductive properties are defined by the particles.\nAn electric field is used to structure and align the filler particles in a liquid matrix. When applying the electric field, electric dipoles are induced in the particles causing chain formation. The alignment occurs due to electrophoresis, thus it is also possible to align non-conductive particles. This means the particles do neither need to be electrically conductive nor magnetic.\nThese particle chains form conductive pathways through the material. Depending on the type of particles used, the film can be either electrically or thermally conductive. After alignment, the particles are locked into their aligned positions by curing the surrounding matrix. The result is an aligned anisotropic conductive film.\nTraditional conductive composites are typically particle rich systems because they must reach the percolation threshold to achieve conductivity. With our process we can achieve conductivity with particle loadings at 0.1% and below. This means particle alignment of CondAlign’s materials can permit at least a tenfold reduction of particle content compared to traditional materials. Significant reduction of filler particles can both lower costs and improve polymer properties, thereby enhancing functionality of the film.\nThe CondAlign technology has been demonstrated on roll-to-roll manufacturing equipment and the process is scalable and cost effective.\nSome Demonstrated Parameters\nFilm properties: Conductive, hard, soft, transparent, flexible, sticky, stretchable\nFilm thickness: 3 µm – 3 mm\nMatrix materials: Polyurethane, acrylics, silicon, epoxy\nParticle size: nanometers – 150 µm\nFiller particles: Metals, alloys, nanotubes, carbon, alumina, ceramics\nChain density: < 14.000 chains per mm²\nPitch: > 8 µm\nResistance: 0.01 Ω - MΩ through 1 cm²\nFiller fraction: 0.005 % – 70 % per volume", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The same holds true for HVAC systems. HVAC equipment maintenance isn’t nearly expensive compared to what you might spend if your system degrades (and ultimately fails). Not to mention being without climate control in extreme temperatures for an unexpected failure.\n*Why buy a preventative maintenance plan?\n*REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BILL: By keeping your equipment cleaned and calibrated your heating and cooling unit will be running in top condition thereby maximizing performance and lowering energy use.\n*PROLONG EQUIPMENT LIFE: Routine maintenance will keep your equipment in tip top shape which will prolong the equipment life and ensure your equipment manufacturer warranty.\n*ENSURE PROPER OPERATION: Most all emergency service calls due to unit not working could have been prevented by having your system serviced before the heat or cold season.\nEfficiency: As with the life of the system, a well-maintained HVAC unit will run more efficiently. Research shows that dirty or unmaintained equipment needs to work 20 percent harder to produce the same amount of cooling or heating as a well-maintained system. The less wear and tear on the system means simple maintenance during the spring and fall months. Maintenance will be much quicker and smoother if a person takes the preventive steps to keep a system running in tip-top shape.\n*MAXIMIZE SAFETY: Routine maintenance of your equipment assures safe operation – we can catch potential issues before they become safety problems that could save you big time in the long run!\n*KEEP YOUR FAMILY HEALTHY: Over the years Visalia-Porterville-Hanford (Central Valley) Has been ranked in the top 10 most polluted cities in California by the American Lung Association!

Costs associated with vehicle downtime include lost vehicle revenue opportunity per day, loss of driver productivity and penalties resulting from late deliveries. And now, with skyrocketing costs and labor, part and replacement vehicle shortages, preventing downtime and unscheduled maintenance events has become more important than ever. These reports and tools, available through MyGeotab and the Geotab Marketplace, support proactive fleet maintenance management and can help protect your business from unnecessary downtime and expenses.\n1. Dynamic Vehicle Maintenance Report\nKeep maintenance on track by setting rules based on date, distance driven or engine hours. Use the free Dynamic Vehicle Maintenance Report to set reminder conditions for preventative maintenance, based on date, distance driven, or engine hours. Access reports that identify vehicles due for maintenance, the specific service they need (oil change, tire rotation, etc.), and the reminder conditions that were triggered. This report is a simple and effective tool for staying on top of maintenance needs. It helps you maximize asset utilization and maintenance planning.\n2. Advanced Reminders Report Proactively manage resources and track individual and fleet-wide maintenance events. The Advanced Reminders Report, a built-in-report that does not need to be accessed through the Geotab Marketplace, works with the Maintenance Reminder Rules feature to help you meet scheduled maintenance goals to prevent downtime and avoid more expensive repairs. Set reminders for individual vehicle and fleet-wide events from tire rotation and oil changes to DOT fleet safety inspections. Receive a custom report via email to see what’s coming up, so you don’t have to go looking for the information. Plus, since it’s shared in either PDF or Excel format, it’s easy to pass along to others in the organization.\n3. Aggressive and after hours driving rules Manage safety and extend the life of your vehicles with customized rules. Aggressive habits, such as stomping on the gas or acceleration pedal to speed ahead can take a toll — both on the condition of the vehicle and the company’s bottom line. Enabling these built-in safety rules in MyGeotab can help combat aggressive driving and reduce maintenance costs:\nThe After Hours Usage rule prevents extra miles being put on vehicles when they are supposed to be parked for the day. Sliders enable you to customize rule sensitivity. For example, if you know that harsh cornering has been an issue in the past, you can increase the sensitivity by moving the slider to the right and the rule will trigger at a lower g-force value. MyGeotab rules help you automate management. When rules are broken, you receive notifications via email or alerts so you can take the necessary action. Read this blog post to learn more about the value of setting rules in MyGeotab.\nEffective maintenance helps extend vehicle life, increase uptime and reduce costs Proactive management involves knowing when vehicles are due for service, being aware of unexpected faults, and managing and prioritizing schedules to prevent too many vehicles from being out-of-service on any given day.\nMyGeotab reports let you track maintenance needs from a central location, monitor fleet goals and metrics, and easily schedule current and upcoming events. They enable preventative and predictive maintenance of your growing fleet so you can keep costs down and maximize vehicle uptime.\nReach out to New England Mobile with any questions on MyGeotab's reports or for assistance getting started.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

For over 80 years, FilterQueen® products have been sold exclusively through direct, in-home sales. This channel of distribution offers a greater level of customer service, a more complete presentation of the products' benefits and convenience to the customer. Today there is a network of independent FilterQueen® Distributors throughout the United States, Canada, and over forty other countries world-wide.\nIn 1928, Frank and Martin Callahan, along with Ray Owen, founded what is now known as HMI Industries. Their original company, Sanitation Systems, Inc., was located in Chicago, Illinois.\nIn May 1930, Sanitation Systems, Inc. changed its name to Health-Mor Sanitation Systems, Inc. and became the largest direct selling organization selling any electric appliance within the city of Chicago.\nA few years later, Ed Yonkers, an appliance shop owner in Chicago, was inspired to design a home cleaning system based on cyclonic action after seeing a tornado in Arizona. Ed brought his idea to the Callahan brothers, who promptly bought it, and the Health-Mor FilterQueen® was born. FilterQueen® soon revolutionized the market with its cyclonic action and design innovations. Along with the Defender air purifier, introduced in 1996, the FilterQueen® indoor air quality system has become an integral part of creating healthy home environments throughout the world.\nOn February 3, 2008, HMI Industries proudly entered its 80th year in business!", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Various concepts, such as the Moon Village promoted by the European Space Agency (ESA), offer a vision of collaboration via assets (infrastructure and robotic systems) owned (and operated) independently, by different nations, yet engaged in mutual support and assistance, in a robotic ecosystem. The private companies are now joining the space family and their presence on the surface of the Moon is imminent. The space economy, which has proven to investors that it can bring profits (with Earth-orbiting satellites), has the cis-lunar space as its natural extension beyond Earth orbit, and in time will expand further, to Mars. The talk will review current and planned Moon and Mars missions, illustrating the state-of-the-art in technologies and operations; then, it will take a leap into the future, presenting a vision of lunar robotic villages, robotic mining operations, and human presence, permanent colonies, and tourism and entertainment zones. It will point out what technologies need maturation, in order to make this future possible. Among those, perhaps within the next decade, and, if not, almost certainly before the end of the following one, exploration by robotic intelligence will exceed the capabilities of current human-driven exploration, and become the determining factor in conquering space. The consequences of such a disruptive technology are difficult to imagine.\nBio Note: Dr Adrian Stoica has over 22 years of work at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology. Known primarily for building the first US Satellite, Explorer 1, for building and operating the Voyager spacecraft that has now travel beyond the boundaries of our solar system, and for building and operating the Mars rovers, JPL is the leading NASA Center for robotic space exploration. JPL has over 6000 researchers involved in imagining, planning and execution of space missions. Adrian is currently Manager of the Robotic Systems Estimation and Controls Group. He also acts as Program Executive for Blue Sky Studies Program, and Coordinator of the Innovation to Flight Program at JPL. He is a NIAC Fellow (NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts) having led a study on a solar power infrastructure at the lunar south pole. His research interests include robotic intelligence and learning, collaboration between humans and teams of robots, non-conventional computing, and technologies for enhanced quality of life. He has started three conferences, the oldest, NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems, running yearly since 1999. He is also Vice-President for Membership and Student Activities in the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society.\nProfessor Colin Cunningham FIET, FInstP, FSPIE, CEng\nTechnology Champion at the UK Astronomy Technology Centre, Royal Observatory Edinburgh and Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor, University of Edinburgh\nTitle: Future Space Systems: Constellations of Nanosatellites to Giant Telescopes\nAbstract: Next year will see the launch of the biggest space telescope ever: the James Webb Space Telescope. The development of the Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) was led by the UK Astronomy Centre in Edinburgh. I will show how space telescopes have their origins in the 1920’s, explain the UK role in the JWST and discuss the next projects being studied now. I will then speculate on how revolutionary technology could enable much bigger telescopes to be built in space, for instance, to detect signs of life on planets outside our solar system. Could we build a hyper-telescope from a swarm of CubeSats, or even use additive manufacturing to build a giant mirror in space?\nBio: Professor Colin Cunningham is the Technology Champion at the UK Astronomy Centre, a role that makes use of his extensive experience and connections to guide future developments and projects at the UK ATC through roadmapping activities and working with project partners, particularly through the Scottish Universities and Industry. Partially retired now, from 2005 to 2016 he was the Programme Director for the UK’s £88M contribution to the European Extremely Large Telescope, which will be the world’s largest optical and infrared telescope when it is completed by the European Southern Observatory in the mid 2020’s. He also ran the EU FP7 OPTICON Innovation Network for optical and infrared astronomy, and was previously chair of the UK Space Agency’s Space Projects Review Panel and a member of the scientific committee for the ESF/ESA TECHBREAK technology foresight activity. He started work as an electronics engineer, designing and building instruments for a range of scientific applications from plant physiology through freshwater ecology to geophysics. In 1987 he moved into astronomical instrumentation and became project manager for the SCUBA submillimetre camera for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, the first operational camera in this waveband, and then was systems engineer for the SPIRE instrument on the largest infrared telescope ever launched, the Herschel Space Observatory. He was one of two symposium chairs for the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation meeting held in Edinburgh in 2016, attended by 1,700 delegates. He is Honorary Professor at Heriot-Watt University, Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Glasgow University and is a Fellow of the IET, the SPIE and the IoP, and is Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor in Innovation, Instrumentation and Systems Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Common applications are:\n- Steel pipelines and storage tanks\n- Ship hulls\n- Offshore oil platforms and onshore oil well casings\n- Metal reinforcement bars in concrete\n- Galvanized steel\nCathodic protection is feasible when the surfaces to be protected are buried or submerged. The anodes in sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems must be periodically inspected and replaced when consumed.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

At ServiceMaster Clean by Jouny, we provide the most powerful truck mounted cleaning systems in the industry to provide your building with the power needed to clean large vents and complicated HVAC systems.\nCleaning the air ducts will provide cleaner air throughout your closed building and has been shown to remove particulate matter in the air which can lead to increased asthma and allergy attacks associated with dust and allergens circulated through your heating and air conditioning system. Improved breathing can increase student health, focus, and concentration. Call us today to have our technicians visit your facility and provide you with a detailed price quote.\nWhy ServiceMaster Clean for your Air Ducts?\nAccording to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25-40% of the energy used for heating or cooling is wasted.\nIndoor air pollutants require an HVAC system to work harder to heat and cool a facility.\nPollutants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated an average of 5 to 7 times per day. Over time, this recirculation causes a build-up of pollutants in the duct work.\nRemoving these pollutants allows the HVAC system to work more efficiently and results in energy savings.*\nIndoor air pollutants can also cause serious health problems for employees who have respiratory conditions, autoimmune disorders or environmental allergies.\nOur Cleaning Process\nOur powerful vacuum system will first be connected to the air duct near the furnace.\nCommercial grade products and equipment will then be used to dislodge the contaminants and debris in the air ducts.\nThe powerful vacuum will then pull the contaminants out of the ducts and through the filtration system, returning clean air back into the facility.\nOnce the system is cleaned, all access holes are resealed, returning the duct system to a like new, clean condition.\nBenefits of Air Duct Cleaning\n- reduced potential for mold growth\n- extended HVAC equipment life\n- a healthier environment for allergy sufferers\n- removal of unpleasant odors\nHow long will my cleaning take?\nCleaning times are dependent upon several factors; size of the facility, number of return ventilations surfaces, and the square footage of the ductwork are all factors that make each cleaning unique. Our technicians will work efficiently to ensure not only that your cleaning is done quickly, but more importantly effectively.\nWill this disrupt school function?\nWe recommend cleaning during off school hours and can even arrange to perform cleanings during school holiday breaks to ensure thoroughness of the cleaning and limited disruption to students.\nCan you clean roof mounted HVAC systems?\nAbsolutely!

The fire broke out 40 feet off the ground in the leg of pellet mill that lifts feed with a mechanical elevator. According to Assistant Fire Chief Vance Farmer, the drive belt on the elevator broke and jammed. Gears continued to turn, which caught the belt on fire inside the tower. From the outside, flames were not visible at all. The fire was contained entirely to the inside of the mill.\nTo extinguish the blaze, firefighters threaded an empty hose up a ladder to the top of the mill and flushed water down through the opening inside. Nick Tooley of the WSFD manned the hose from a vantage 100 feet from the ground. Two other firefighters were stationed along the length of the hose to manage the weight of the water.\nAsst. Chief Farmer said the fire was out in ten minutes.\n“It was a simple fire for us,” he said, “but a major [disaster] for the business.”\nJessica Brown, Vice President of Grow Smart, confirmed to Howell County News that the fire affected a leg of their pellet mill, but agreed with the firefighters that the damage was contained to a single area.\nRetail customers should not experience an interruption in service, Brown said. Grow Smart has “measures in place to keep production going.”\nAt the time of the interview, Vice President Brown did not have an expected timeline for completion of repairs.\nBecause the call came in as a structure fire, Mountain View, Eleven Point, and Pomona Fire Departments were automatically toned to respond.

A bar magnet has no markings to indicate its poles. How would you find out near which end is its north pole located?\nSuspend the magnet freely with a thread and allow it to come to the rest. The end of the bar magnet pointing towards the north direction is the north pole.\n8). You are given an iron strip. How will you make it into a magnet?\nThere are several methods of making magnets. Let us learn the simplest one.\ni). Take a rectangular piece of iron. Place it on the table.\nii). Now take a bar magnet and place one of its poles near one edge\nof the bar of iron.\niii) Without lifting the bar magnet, move it along the length of the iron bar till you reach the other end.\niv). Now, lift the magnet and bring the pole (the same pole you started with) to the same point of the iron bar from which you began.\nv).

Remember that the pole of the magnet and the direction of its\nmovement should not change.\n9). How is a compass used to find directions?\nA compass is usually a small box with a glass cover on it. A magnetized needle is pivoted inside the box, which can rotate freely. The compass also has a dial with directions marked on it. The compass is kept at the place where we wish to know the directions. Its needle indicates the north-south direction when it comes to rest. The compass is then rotated until the north and south marked on the dial are at the two ends of the needle. To identify the north-pole of the magnetic needle, it is usually painted in a different colour.\n10).

At least according to that little sticker on my windshield. How kind of that garage to remind me. I’ve been sticking to the “every 3,000 miles” rule pretty much since I got my license. However, now that I’m driving a car that wasn’t built before the year 2000, it’s just not necessary anymore. Advances in engine and oil technology have put this old rule to rest.\nSo how do you know how often to change your car’s oil? CHECK YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL. Not all cars have the same maintenance schedules. I opened up the book for my 2005 Subaru, and lo and behold… change oil at 7,500 mile intervals.\nThat’s twice the industry standard that I have followed since high school!\nFrom now on, I’ll just add another 4,500 miles to that number on the sticker.\nMoving past the outdated 3,000 mile rule will save me about $50 a year (2 oil changes). It’s not that much, but why spend it when it’s truly unnecessary. Some people might say “Is saving $50 worth the risk of damaging your engine? Better safe than sorry.” Well, to that I say… there is no risk. I’m following my vehicle’s recommended maintenance schedule of 7,500 miles. The 3,000 mile rule doesn’t apply to me. Now get away from me, old-timer.\nPeople have been so ingrained with the idea of an oil change every 3,000 miles that anything longer seems dangerous. IT IS NOT.\nReach in your glove box, open up the owner’s manual, and look up “oil change” or “Maintenance”.\nOne more thing… pay attention to the manual’s recommendation for the oil filter as well. It may need to be replaced more frequently than the oil itself.\nWhen it comes to vehicle maintenance, always look in your owner’s manual before making a decision based on a “general rule.” As I found out in this example, not all cars are the same.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

From combustion engine cars to electric vehicles and automation, the automotive landscape is transforming and expanding rapidly.\nThe innovations and trends are set to reshape the industry and enhance the performance and safety of cars on the road. In this article, we’ll take you through the top 6 automotive industry innovations and trends you expect to see in the coming years.\nWith concerns over climate change and pollution, the automotive industry is significantly shifting. With more people becoming conscious of the adverse effects of fossil fuels, there is a substantial need for sustainable transportation solutions.\nElectric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as the most promising alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. But what exactly is driving the rise of electric cars, and how will it impact the future of mobility?\nEnvironmental concerns are among the most significant drivers for the rise of electric vehicles. The burning of fossil fuels to power traditional vehicles emits harmful greenhouse gases that have been linked to global warming.\nOn the other hand, electric vehicles are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which do not release harmful fumes into the air. As consumers continue to prioritize sustainability, there is expected to be an increase in the adoption of electric vehicles.\nAs technology has continued to advance, electric car manufacturers have been able to improve the efficiency and convenience of electric vehicles. For example, EVs can now travel longer distances on a single charge, and more charging stations have been built for convenient recharging.\nElectric vehicles are becoming more affordable, with numerous incentives and tax breaks available for buyers. With cost-effective electric cars on the horizon, more drivers are expected to switch from traditional gas-powered vehicles.\nAutonomous driving is another rapidly evolving trend in the automotive industry. With advancements in technology, self-driving cars bring opportunities to reduce accident rates and enhance mobility for those who can’t drive. With the introduction of Level 5 automation technology, we’ll be on the brink of a fully self-driving vehicle that can operate without human intervention.\nSun Protection Technology\nSun protection technology is making its way into the automotive industry. This technology will allow windows to tint or darken automatically in response to the sun’s bright rays, protecting people and the car from ultraviolet radiation. Not only that, but this new tech can also help reduce energy consumption and keep cars more relaxed on hot days.\nIf you want to stay ahead of the curve. In that case, you should look into professional auto window tinting services near you and be sure to ask about the latest sun protection technology available. This will ensure the best protection for your vehicle and its occupants.\nAdvanced Safety Technology\nWith the increased use of technology in cars, advanced safety features are becoming the norm. Many new vehicles come with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind-Spot Detection technology. These features help prevent accidents and keep drivers and passengers safe.\nMost people, at some point in their lives, have to deal with the hassle of owning a car or finding other means of transportation. With the rise of ride-sharing apps, however, getting around town has never been more convenient.\nRide-sharing has changed how we travel, facilitating people to travel without worrying about their vehicles’ maintenance costs, parking expenses, and other related expenses. It’s also an eco-friendly alternative to traditional modes of transportation.\nBenefits of Ride-Sharing\nRide-sharing has many benefits, including providing affordable transportation options for those who don’t own cars, reducing road congestion, and decreasing pressure on parking spaces.\nAdditionally, ride-sharing has created numerous income opportunities for drivers who can work flexibly. Moreover, ride-sharing apps are a much safer option than traditional taxis or other modes of public transportation since they offer a tracking system, the availability of driver information, and ratings to ensure riders’ safety.\nThe Impact of Ride-Sharing on Transportation and Climate\nRide-sharing has been revolutionary in changing how people approach transportation. With the growing use of ride-sharing and carpooling, people own fewer cars, resulting in more open spaces that were previously occupied by parked vehicles. Additionally, ride-sharing companies have introduced electric vehicles into their fleets, helping reduce the carbon footprints that classic cars leave behind.\nThe automotive industry is continually evolving with new technologies and trends. There’s much to be excited about in the future for the industry, as innovative features make driving more efficient, convenient, and safer. The trends will revolutionize the automotive industry in the coming years, from electric vehicles to autonomous driving. It’s a thrilling time for the automotive industry, and we eagerly await the future.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This gives our customers freshly batched concrete that is mixed on your site!\nThe advantages are as follows:\n- We can batch up to 8 yards onsite, and up to 1 yard per minute.\n- Mixing only what is needed eliminates waste and extra charges.\n- Our system allows us to carry extra material on board in case more concrete is needed than ordered, eliminating delays.\n- Our concrete is metered as mixed, customers are charged for the first yard, after the first-yard concrete is charged in 1/4 yard increments.\n- The mix design can be easily altered on site.\n- Fiber mesh can be easily added on site.\n- Specialty jobs such as rapid set, CDF, and latex.\nConcrete Line Pump Truck\n- Pumping concrete is faster than placement using other methods.\n- Pumped concrete can be placed in areas that are difficult or impossible to reach by other placement methods. Our hoses can access hard to reach areas, pass through narrow spaces, travel over or under walls, through doorways etc.\n- Pumping often results in a savings in labor and equipment cost and cycle time.\n- Pumping is not limited by weather conditions, (snow, rain, heat) as the concrete is protected during transport to the placement area.\n- Pumping can be used when the space available for construction equipment is limited.\n- Pumping concrete frees cranes and hoists for other construction operations, such as delivering materials.\nAdvantages of Using a Concrete Pump:\nOur line pump truck is for hard to reach areas that a concrete truck cannot reach with a chute, such as going around home, buildings, through a building, over tall walls, etc. We carry 150 feet of hose on the pump truck, but have additional hose if needed. Call the office for more information. Our driver is knowledgeable, helping to make your job efficient, clean and simple.\n- Pumped concrete can be easier to handle because the flow of concrete is directed to the exact spot of placement. (Whereas cranes and conveyors deposit large piles of concrete that must be moved manually).\n- A continuous supply of pumped concrete remains steady and controlled, helping set a steady work pace for the placement crew.\nWhat Makes Concrete Pumpable?\n\"Pumpable concrete is pushed under pressure through a pipeline as a cylinder, separated from the pipeline wall by a lubricating layer of water, cementitious material and sand (paste).\" A concrete mix must be such that the concrete can pass through reducers in the pipeline system, and can go around bends in the line. In order to obtain this type of pumpability, the mix must be dense, cohesive, and have sufficient cement.\nWhy Choose Us?\n- Deliveries 24/7 from 3 locations by appointments\n- Dependable delivery timelines\n- Work with homeowners and contractors\n- Residential, commercial, and industrial pouring available\n- Very knowledgeable and trained staff and crew\n- From small to large jobs, we will assist you\n- Locally and family owned company, since 1979\n- Serving all of Western Washington state\n- Our line pump truck can reach most areas\nWe deliver concrete to Pierce, South King, Lewis and Thurston Counties. Upon request we can go anywhere and are capable of pouring in remote wilderness areas, on barges in our waterways, whatever you need is, we will try our best to accommodate you.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Regular checks of your tyres can help to increase their life span and save unnecessary premature replacement.\nThe tyre placard, fixed in a front door aperture or in another accessible part of your vehicle, specifies the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements for wheel and tyre combinations, air pressure, load capacity and speed rating.\nHere is our checklist of the top 10 tips to help maintain safe, economical tyres:\n- Legal tread depth minimum is 1.5mm. When the tread reaches the level of the tread depth indicator, it is time to replace the tyre.\n- Check the air pressure at least once a month, or more if your vehicle travels high kilometres, and ensure they are inflated as recommended on the tyre placard. Tyre pressure may need to vary according to driving conditions and load.\n- Ensure caps are fitted to tyre valves to prevent the entry of dust that may allow air to escape.\n- Remove objects such as stones which may have become embedded in the tread.\n- Check for irregularities such as cuts or bulges and if found have the tyre checked by a dealer for internal damage.\n- Have a wheel balance and or alignment performed annually, if tyres are wearing unevenly, if there has been severe impact with a kerb or pothole or when replacing tyres.\n- Tyres can be rotated to maximise their life span, but check with the manufacturer’s requirements and a tyre dealer as some tyres are directional and may only be changed from front to back.\n- Minimise excessive and erratic braking or acceleration to reduce wear.\n- Ensure tyres do not impact with the kerb when parking.\n- Remember to check the pressure and condition of your spare tyre at the same time.\nReplacing Your Tyres\nEnsure tyre replacement occurs as soon as it becomes necessary. When replacing tyres you do not necessarily have to retain the same type of tyre that was originally fitted to the vehicle as long as the tyres are an approved alternative. The driving and road conditions particular to your vehicle should influence your choice of tyres. The most expensive is not always the best choice for your vehicle.\nProper maintenance should ensure safer driving and prolong the life of your tyres.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It’s used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, showering and washing clothes, and it is imperative that the water that flows through all your taps is free of harmful contaminants. Here at Nu Flow in Chicago, we take the safety of your potable water extremely seriously, which is why we have all the required national and local approvals for lining potable water pipes.\nNational Nu Flow Approvals\nBefore any plumbing product can be put on the market for sale or used, it must have certain approvals from the NSF/ANSI, IAPMO and ICC-ES, if applicable. Here at Nu Flow, we always make sure our products are safe and that they adhere to all the applicable building codes and usage requirements.\nNational Sanitary Foundation (NSF) – NSF/ANSI 61\nThe NSF is the public health and safety organization that is responsible for testing and ensuring that everything connected to or used inside your potable water system is safe to use for drinking water. This includes potable water plumbing pipes, faucets, showers, drinking fountains, pipe sealants, coatings, paints, plastics and cements. All of those components must comply with NSF/ANSI 61.\nHere at Nu Flow, serving the greater Chicago area, we have acquired our NSF/ANSI 61 certification. This means that we applied for approval and submitted all the relevant data on our pipe coatings and liners that are used for potable water pipes, including the formulations and materials used. The NSF then performed a plant audit and collecting samples. After extensive testing and evaluation of the collected samples, we were granted NSF/ANSI 61 approval and certification.\nThe International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) – Research and Testing (RAT)\nThe IAPMO is responsible for making sure the potable water system materials are continuously safe. They also perform product testing and evaluation for the NSF so that plumbing manufacturers can attain NSF/ANSI certification. When products are tested, the process follows a specific IAPMO R&T flow chart that includes:\n- An inquiry from the manufacturer\n- A determination of standards and a quote for services\n- PO authorization to move forward with the product testing\n- Preparation for receiving the samples\n- Acceptance and inspection of samples\n- Engineer or technician assigned to test samples\n- Samples are tested and evaluated\n- A report on the samples is created\n- The report is sent to the client\nInternational Code Council Evaluation Services (ICC-ES)\nThe ICC-ES is responsible for evaluating the products, components and materials used in buildings as well as evaluating methods in order to ensure the building meets certain code requirements. In order to determine if a product or method meets all the applicable codes, a quality inspection of the manufacturer’s facilities, materials and end-products. Once the inspection is complete, a report is generated. The ICC-ES also requires follow-up inspections or annual inspections for every manufacturer that holds a report. This is to ensure continual compliance.\nLocal Nu Flow Approvals for Chicago and Illinois\nIn addition to the national and international testing, evaluations and compliance, Nu Flow is also responsible for adhering to all local codes and regulations in Chicago and the state of Illinois. To achieve this, we met with the Illinois Department of Public Health for two years in order to ensure that our pipelining systems both inside buildings and outside buildings were compliant with all applicable codes and safety standards, and we are proud to say that we are approved for use in both indoor and outdoor pipelining applications within the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois.\nThis process involved meeting with the Plumbing Advisory Council and the city of Chicago in order to present out methods, materials and data so that they could determine if pipelining was safe and effective. All of the applicable state and city agencies signed off on our pipelining technologies. In fact, our first project was with the Water Department of Chicago.\nChicago Pipelining with Nu Flow\nOur pipelining technicians are authorized, certified and experienced in lining all types of plumbing pipes, including potable water pipes, drain line and sewer lines. When we line the pipes in your building or on your property, you can be assured that we will have a licensed plumber available and an inspection will be performed after every pipelining service to ensure that the liner was installed correctly and performs as expected. You can also be assured that all of our products adhere to the applicable standards, including NSF/ANSI standards and all building and plumbing codes.\nTo learn more about our pipelining services and to request an estimate, call us at 815-790-9000.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Therefore, the ultrasonic cutting does not require a sharp cutting edge, nor does it require a large pressure, and does not cause chipping or breakage of the material to be cut.\nThe basic structure of the ultrasonic cutter is an ultrasonic transducer, a horn, a tool head (knife body), and a driving power source. The ultrasonic drive power source converts the commercial power into a high-frequency high-voltage alternating current and outputs it to the ultrasonic transducer. An ultrasonic transducer is actually equivalent to an energy conversion device that converts input electrical energy into mechanical energy, ie, ultrasonic waves. Its manifestation is that the transducer moves back and forth in the longitudinal direction. The frequency of the telescopic motion is equivalent to the frequency of the high frequency alternating current supplied by the driving power source. The role of the horn is to fix the entire ultrasonic vibration system and to adjust the output amplitude of the transducer. The tool head (knife body) on the one hand amplifies the amplitude and focuses the ultrasound. On the other hand, the ultrasonic wave is output, and the ultrasonic energy is concentratedly input to the cutting portion of the material to be cut by using a similar cutting edge of the cutting blade. Under the action of huge ultrasonic energy, the part softens and melts instantaneously, and the strength is greatly reduced. At this time, as long as a small cutting force is applied, the purpose of cutting can be achieved.\n|Voltage||220V or 110V|\n|Weight of blade||0.35kgs|\nFeatures of Traditional cutting knife:\nConventional cutting uses a sharp-edged tool to press against the material being cut. This pressure is concentrated at the cutting edge, and the pressure is very large, exceeding the shear strength of the material being cut. The molecular combination of the material is pulled apart and cut. Since the material is pulled hard by the strong pressure, the cutting edge of the cutting tool should be very sharp, and the material itself must withstand relatively high pressure. For soft, flexible materials, the cutting efficiency is not high.\nAdvantages of ultrasonic tire rubber cutting:\n1. High cutting precision, no deformation of rubber compound\n2. Good surface finish and good bonding performance\n3. Easy to apply to automated production\n4.

Weight capacity for any RV (or tow vehicle) is measured by its gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which simply refers to the total weight allowed for the vehicle itself and anything added (this includes people, fuel, water, propane and supplies). By itself, the GVWR is of little significance. It only has meaning when it is compared to the actual weight of the unit when it's ready for use. Only then can you tell if the weight falls within the allowable limit (the GVWR) set by the manufacturer. Of course, the total weight can't be known until the fully-loaded RV is driven onto a scale, but for evaluation purposes you can make an educated guess about the usable weight capacity of an RV with just a few simple calculations.\nYour weight-carrying calculations can be simplified and made more accurate by observing the unit's unloaded vehicle weight (UVW), or dry weight, and net-carrying capacity (NCC) label. All RVs manufactured since September 1996 are required to carry the new label, as specified by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) for its member/manufacturers.\nThe UVW represents the vehicle's actual weight, minus cargo, water, propane and passengers. NCC is the amount of payload the unit can carry. Some manufacturers weigh every RV as it comes off the assembly line, while others only estimate the weight. The UVW and NCC figures may not include factory or dealer-installed options, so even these figures are not etched in stone. You still need to add the weight of the unit's fresh water and propane, and possibly motor fuel if it's a motorhome, to arrive at a reasonably accurate cargo-carrying capacity.\n* Fresh water weighs about 8.4 pounds per gallon.\n* Propane is approximately 4.23 pounds per gallon.\n* Gasoline weighs about 6 pounds per gallon.\n* Diesel is about 8 pounds per gallon.\nUse the manufacturer's fluid tank-size specifications to add the proper amount of fluid weights to the RV, by multiplying the tank capacity in gallons by the pounds/gallons figures above.\nDon't forget to figure about 150 pounds per extra passenger in addition to the driver.\nSome of the manufacturers seem to use a different scale than the rest of the world, so don't penalize the honest ones by not considering their products. Weight capacity costs money. To increase it requires a heavier-duty chassis, larger tires, heavier springs, etc., so manufacturers, in trying to keep prices in line, are prone to skimp a bit on extra-weight capacity. But excess-load capacity is not all good; it can make for a hard-riding RV. The ideal is slightly more capacity (a few hundred to around 1000 pounds) than needed with a normal load.\n|Total Weight of Rig||Gas Mileage||Diesel Mileage|\n|20,000 lbs or over||5 to 8 mpg||5 to 10 mpg|\n|15,000 to 19,000 lbs||6 to 8 mpg||8 to 11 mpg|\n|12,000 to 14,000 lbs||7 to 9 mpg||10 to 13 mpg|\n|9000 to 11,000 lbs||8 to 11 mpg||12 to 15 mpg|\n|6000 to 8000 lbs||12 to 15 mpg||16 to 20 mpg|\n|3000 to 5000 lbs||20 mpg or over||25 mpg or over|\nThis table may help give you some idea of fuel economy in relation to total weight.\nWhile it's certainly not exact, it can be useful as a planning tool.\nFinally, gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the maximum total combined weight of any vehicle and its towed load, which can be a truck and trailer or a motorhome and a towed car, for example. GCWR is another figure that must not be exceeded if you are to be driving a safe, reliable RV combination. Weight also has a major influence on economy of operation, specifically regarding fuel consumption. While overall size has an important bearing on livability, it also has a strong influence on total weight. The larger the unit, the heavier it generally is, and the more fuel it will consume getting to your destination. So if you plan a lot of travel and fuel costs are important, select a smaller unit, which may also be easier to drive.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

We are one day closer to Friday, and what better way to start off your morning than to talk about another vehicle that will help you survive in a collision? Today we are featuring the infamous Honda Odyssey, from a make that is one of the most highly regarded and most supported, for a reason! After reading through several reviews of Honda, you will start to notice a common theme-Honda is raved as having a wealth of integrity in their vehicle designs, excellent fuel economy, a knack for out-lasting most vehicles in every given model class, and most importantly, for their impeccable attention to safety.\nIn fact, a recent article in the AJC discussed a wreck involving a Chrysler Sebring, a Toyota Camry, and a Honda Civic, in which an underage driver lost control of the Chrysler Sebring, crossed the median, and was hit by the Honda Civic at \"a high rate of speed\". The Toyota Camry then hit the Civic from behind. The outcome of this crash involved the death of the Sebring's passenger and serious injuries of the driver, but the Civic's and Camry's drivers and passengers both had small, non life-threatening injuries. Although the Sebring driver was reckless and traveling at a high speed rate, his larger vehicle was overtaken by a considerably smaller Honda sedan, which protected its occupants from both a front and rear-end collision! Honda's reputation for always putting safety first is no doubt demonstrated by this wreck. Read the full article here.\nNow let's take a look at Honda's mini-van, which was featured as one of nine top safety vehicles that reported no vehicular deaths per one million users inthis article.\nHonda lists a whopping 15 safety features of the Odyssey, by far the most safety features out of all of the nine vehicles that are featured in AJC's article from the study discussed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:\n1. Multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines: The rear-view camera seen from the dashboard guides the driver into parking spaces with extra precision.\n2. Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure: In frontal collisions, this frame design evenly distributes energy around the vehicle instead of through it. This design enables the passenger to be protected as well as the other vehicle(s) involved in a collision-this body structure system has the capability to distribute the impact of a wreck evenly among other vehicles, essentially protecting both the vehicle's own passengers and others.\n3. Anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights, and active head restraints: Honda's braking system pulsates the brakes to prevent wheel lock-up and the Electronic Brake Distribution system balances forces of heavy braking between the front and back. Daytime running lights enhance the visibility of the vehicle to other vehicles, while its head restraints move upward and forward so that neck injury risks are reduced in the event of a rear-end collision.\n4. Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front Airbags (SRS): These front-end airbags are all equipped with the smart technology to inflate at different rates depending on the intensity of the impact, and they support the seat belts by helping to reduce head and upper body injury risks. The Smart Vent front side airbags, in addition, deploy and inflate quickly in the event of an acute collision, which helps protect a front passenger from personal injury, as well as venting before maximum inflation in order to decrease the risk of injury related to the airbag.\n5. Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Available on the more expensive models, this front-end camera, which is located at the top of the windshield, picks up vehicles that are in front, and warns the driver with audio and visual alerts.\n6. Front 3-Point seat belts with automatic tensioning system: Honda's seat belts are designed to automatically increase or decrease tension depending on the driver's movements.\n7. Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Audio and visual alerts resonate to the driver if the driver changes lanes without indication. A front small camera is positioned on the front windshield that tracks lane markings.\n8. Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) and three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensor: These models are available with up to five child seat-compatible anchors and tethers to maximize protection for all passengers in the front and rear, as well as airbags that deploy based on information from a sensor that monitors the rate of a collision impact, especially in the case of a possible impending rollover.\n9. Tire pressure monitoring system and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control: The tire pressure monitoring system keeps tabs on all four tires and alerts the driver if pressure from any given tire becomes lower than the standard threshold. VSA monitors the driver's intended travel path and acts to keep the vehicle on that path by detecting oversteer, understeer, and braking individual wheels.\nThis is a pretty impressive basic list of safety technology that incorporates quality over quantity. Some super safe vehicles arguably contain so many advanced safety features that the car almost drives itself or can confuse the driver of how to properly use the technology system. Honda uses a balanced system of technology and crash test-proven methods to provide a high-standard safety experience in addition to a fun driving experience. See all that the Odyssey has to offer here.\nCome back and read our blog tomorrow for number five!", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Below will be considered the construction of the roof from metal sheets with their own hands.\nFeatures of the material\nMetal tiles are steel sheets with a thickness ranging from 0.35 mm to 0.7 mm. And the rigidity and stability of the roof directly depends on this indicator. Sheets are galvanized on both sides, the outer coated with a special compound, polyester or plastisol. Dimensions of metal roofing tiles are as follows: sheet width is usually 1 m, length varies from 1 m to 8 m.\nThe main advantages of the roofing material in question include:\n- low weight (no more than 6 kg per square meter);\n- ability to easily withstand temperature fluctuations;\n- ease of replacing damaged elements;\n- corrosion resistance (subject to certain conditions);\n- reliability and long service life (up to 50 years);\n- relatively low cost;\n- color variety.\nRules of Arrangement.\nWhen working independently on the creation of the roof, you must clearly follow the technology of installation of metal roofing. Allowed slope angle of at least 14 degrees.\nWhen installing a gable roof, start laying from the bottom corner of the left side. The next sheet is superimposed on the previous one with an overlap of one wave. If a hipped roof is meant, the work begins at the highest point, gradually descending on the opposite sides.\nThe last metal sheets should be hung over the final board of purlins by about 5 centimeters. They are fastened with special screws of the appropriate color, with rubberized gaskets. The ridge is covered with special gaskets, over which the ridge metal element is installed.\nA variety of additional elements of the roof brings with it the emergence of gaps, which must be sealed. For this purpose, silicone-based sealant, special sealing tapes are used.\nUnder-roof space is the place where the cold prevails and condensation can form. Therefore, it is necessary to make a quality roofing pie, taking care of proper vapor and waterproofing component, as well as ventilation.\nTo work you will need: a screwdriver with a bit for roofing screws, cutting tools, a special rail to maintain the same distance between the crates, a tape measure, tapping cord, marker, sealant, hammer.\nProfessionals do not recommend using an angle grinder to cut sheets, as it will burn the edges of the cut, can leave traces of hot dross on the surface. This will subsequently lead to corrosion of the metal.\nWarm roofing pie.\nLayers of the roofing pie must be arranged in strict sequence. The composition of the warm roof is represented by: rafter system, vapor barrier film thermal insulation layer, waterproofing, counter-battens, lathing and, finally, the metal roofing tiles.\nThe rafters and additional reinforcement of their load-bearing capacity constitute the framework of the roof. Vapor barrier releases steam from the room, it is attached to the inner side of the boards of purlins. Thermal insulation is placed between the rafters, for example, it may be mineral wool.\nWaterproofing of the roof under the metal tile is necessary to prevent condensation, which falls on the back side of the metal. Lattice presses against the rafters waterproofing layer and creates the necessary ventilation gap between the waterproofing and purlins. Lath boards are nailed to the counter-battens, and metal tiles are attached to them with self-tapping screws.\nCold roofing pie\nA waterproofing layer is laid over the rafters, which is previously secured with a construction stapler. Then the counter battens are nailed. The boards of the purlins are attached to it, and then the metal comes.\nAs in the case of a warm pie in this case also needs proper ventilation of the roof of metal. It is achieved through counter-battens, which gives a gap between the waterproofing film and sheathing boards.\nFor the considered roofing pie device additional vapor barrier layer is not required. The technology itself is used very rarely, because the roof without insulation gives large heat losses and poorly copes with noise. It is possible to insulate the ceiling, which serves as the ceiling of the house.\nInstalling a roof ridge\nThe knots of a metal roof need special attention. One of the knots is the ridge. If it is flat, the slats are attached with an overlap to each other. And the resulting gap should look in the opposite direction to the one from which the prevailing winds.\nSemicircular ridge is fastened along the lines of the metal tile. When the slope is triangular or trapezoidal shape, the ridge bar is adjusted to the slope of the ridge, if necessary, it is bent or unbent.\nInstalling a valley.\nFixing the slats carried out with an overlap of 20-40 cm. It is necessary to move from the eaves to the ridge. The end of the bottom eave board is made under the ridge. A seal is made on the last slat near the ridge.\nSheets of metal suitable for the valley, cut about 7 cm from the axis of the laid slat. The valley itself is fixed with self-tapping screws, the cut edge of the metal is fixed in places of contact with the slat.\nYou can decorate the edges of the trimmed metal sheeting with special overlays. The latter are laid starting from the bottom of the roof, the overlap should be about 10 cm. Overlaps prevent the snow from blowing under the sheet cuts, simplify the rolling of water into the valley.\nNuances of chimney trim\nAfter the arrangement of waterproofing around the pipe and on the entire surface of the slope, a special gutter is installed, which will act as a water drain.\nThe entire construction requires some general rules to be followed:\n- Fixing the apron involves the use of a sealant;\n- The apron itself must cover the top of the wave sheet metal;\n- First attached to the inner apron, which is laid in the established gutter, then the outer.\nProperly assembled roof of metal roofing is characterized by strength and durability. If you follow the technology of laying sheets, as well as the arrangement of the entire roofing structure, including insulation, you can get a perfect roof over your head. And your photo of metal roofing, posted on the network, will help beginners to cope easily with this stage of building your own house.\nPhotos of metal roofing", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Thanks to the compactness of the reactor and the use of an ad hoc imaging system and processing, the axial evolution of bubble lengths and velocities could be recorded and extracted along the whole reactor length (~3 m). The experimental results showed a significant linear increase of bubble length and velocity with axial position. Very long, stable Taylor bubbles (LB/dit up to 40) and liquid slugs were generated, in particular due to the poor wettability of the surface and the important role it played in bubble formation. At identical inertial force (i.e., identical Reynolds number), a higher centrifugal force (i.e., lower tube curvature ratio) likely led to shorter Taylor bubble lengths while only slightly affecting the liquid slug lengths. The axial pressure drop could be estimated from the axial increase in bubble volume, and compared with the measured pressure drop and that predicted by the correlations from literatures. By considering both the friction and capillary pressure drops, it was observed that the predicted two-phase pressure drop was slightly dependent on the centrifugal force and that the capillary pressure drop, determined from the unit cell number, capillary number and static contact angle, was dominant.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

There is true craftsmanship and love at play with each creation.\nThis video captures a beautiful portrait of Luigi in his study, a magical world where he is surrounded by dozens of ships hanging by a strand of nylon. A breath of fresh air in the high-tech world of today, this fascinating man exhibits a unique and delicate touch completed with expert craftsmanship.\nA national aircraft-modelling champion at the age of 16, he has honed his skill and his handcrafted flying models have evolved into incredible designs. Flying models made of delicate paper and balsa wood, and powered by a simple elastic band made of pure Indian rubber, which can last for over 20 years, reminds one of Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches of flying machines from the 15th century.\n\"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.\"\nClearly a lifelong passion, Luigi looks on with devoted eyes, following his flying ship on its journey. His face lights up with a child-like smile watching his handmade creation as it circles the room. We admire his enduring affection for the intricate flying ships that he so lovingly creates, and sets sailing through clouds.\n\"When the ship began to go around the ceiling it seemed as if the clouds were moving.\"\nVideo: Blinking City\nQuotes (in order): Leonardo da Vinci, Luigi Prina", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The founding fathers of the Company were Josiah White and Erskine Hazzard who pioneered anthracite coal mining and played a significant role in the Industrial Revolution. These two entrepreneurs created the world’s first iron wire suspension bridge; and then went on to create an effective navigation system, hydrostatic locks, to transport large amounts of coal to Philadelphia.\nTo increase their efficiency and bring more coal from their mines to the navigation system the Company constructed America’s second railroad in 1827-28. By 1829 the conversion of this system was developed into a two-way system, which improved Lehigh Navigation. With the completion of the Morris and Delaware Canals in 1832-1833, this system had the largest carrying capacity of any canal in the U.S. stretching to Mauch Chunk to Easton, into New York and Philadelphia. By 1840, Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company employed over 1,000 men in a dozen or more manufacturing establishments. At its peak capacity in 1919 the company had 11,000 employees and was producing 5 million tons of coal all by underground mining methods.\nAround 1942, during World War II, the coal industry shifted from underground to surface mining, and it was at that time that the employees built Split Rock Club on the shores of Lake Harmony as a company retreat. The club consisted of Split Rock Lodge and the adjoining Hazzard (Erskine Hazzard) ski slope. When the lodge sold in 1949, Hazzard ski slope became known as Big Boulder Ski Area. This was the first commercial ski resort in Pennsylvania, and it was here that snowmaking was first used successfully in a commercial application.\nThe idea for snowmaking came from an article reported on December 22, 1950 describing the story of the Tropeano brothers from Lexington, Massachusetts who made snow using an experimental portable irrigation system. Another report dated December 14, 1950 states that a Mr. Wayne Pierce of Milford Connecticut filed the first patent application for the making of snow by blowing water through a nozzle. These two events lead to further investigation of snowmaking at both Mohawk Mountain in Connecticut and Big Boulder Mountain in Pennsylvania.\nJohn Guresh, an employee who was instrumental in building Big Boulder Ski Area was the pioneer who perfected the snowmaking machine. What spurred the making of this system was the purchase of the original system, which didn’t work, plus inspiration from the Larchmont Engineering Company to incorporate an irrigation nozzle, which again proved unworkable.\nGuresh did not give up, and in 1956/57 a machine that resembled a lawn sprinkler was used to emit crystals that looked and acted like snow. Guresh said of his first efforts, “One of the biggest problems was keeping the water moving fast enough to prevent freezing before it could be sprayed.” He also stated “It never bothered me that I didn’t become rich and famous from the invention. I made a lot of friends and got a lot of recognition, that was more important.”\nWhen Jack Frost opened in 1972, the experiences from Big Boulder laid the groundwork for a well thought out ski resort. All of the slopes, lifts, buildings, and snowmaking that would be required were planned as part of the original construction. Today, Jack Frost Ski Area is a companion resort to Big Boulder Ski Area.\nWith roots in the industrial age these two ski resorts have become the heart and soul of the Poconos Mountains ski industry of Northeastern Pennsylvania.\nJack Frost Mountain provides an inviting ski area with a summit elevation of 2000 feet, base elevation of 1400 feet and vertical drop of 600 feet. 21 different slopes to include: ski school learning slope, 4 Easiest (beginner slopes, 6 More Difficult (intermediate slopes), 8 Most Difficult (advanced slopes) and 2 Terrain Parks. There are 9 lifts: 1 quad, 2 triples, 6 doubles and 1 ski carpet (used for kids lesons only).\nBig Boulder Ski Area is devoting 50% of its overall terrain to park features. The base elevation is 1700 feet with a summit elevation of 2175 feet and a vertical drop of 475 feet. Big Boulder boasts the most progressive and innovative terrain park program. 15 different slopes to include: 4 Easiest (beginner slopes), 3 More Difficult (intermediate slopes), 3 Most Difficult (advanced slopes) and 5 Terrain Parks. There are 8 lifts:2 triples, 5 doubles and 1 ski carpet.\nBB 11/29/10 (open only this day then reopened 12/3/10 for season)", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This material is placed over the cast of the patient’s feet and formed under vacuum. This shell is then shaped to specifications indicated by the pedorthist using various grinding wheels and belts. The covering layers are selected based on functionality and clinician’s preference, with attention given to specific cushioning needs of the patient. These covering materials range from thicknesses of 1mm to 3mm depending on what type of footwear the orthotic will be placed into.\nOrthotics can be made to fit a large number of shoes", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Finally the inside of the seat tube is cleaned out with a nylon brush to remove any metal debris\nCost for this work is £60 - 80 for a successful extraction\nIf the extraction is unsuccessful £30\nI do offer other methods off seatpost removal with Finishline Freeze Spray or penetrating oil and/or adding heat via a heat gun. These methods are cheaper and less risky but less successful.\nThis removal process does not come without its risk, the seatpost is sometimes damaged during the process due to the clamping of the tool or in some cases a hole is needed to be drilled through for a clamping rod to be fitted, it is also possible that the frame welds or carbon can fail due to the amount of force needed to remove the post before the post becomes free, (In simple terms the frame gives before the seat post / the frame is weaker than the force needed to remove the post)\nThis work I call a last ditch effort if penetrating oil, freeze fluid or other methods fail to have any affect.

Yet, not a week goes by when I don’t see a car or truck driving around with a cracked, or worst yet, missing rear view mirror glass. Even if it’s not illegal in your area, they are a necessity for safe driving.\nIt all starts by backing out of the garage while parked a little too close to the garage door or backing out of your parking spot at the mall, where someone has not left you enough room to open your door and BANG! you have a broken mirror.\nPrice Matters–Especially in a Difficult Economy\nWe’ve found the reason so many people drive around with broken mirror is because of the price they receive when they make a phone call to their local car dealerships parts department.\nMost parts departments only sell the entire mirror with the housing and all the adjusting motors, heating elements, turn indicators and wires that goes with it. Most outside rear view mirrors of this type typically cost in excess of $300-$400 not including the labor to install it. The reason is that the automobile manufacturer buys the mirror and housing as an entire unit for ease of installation during the assembly process.\nDon’t Sacrifice Safety\nWhat most consumers don’t know is that there is an alternative. Most reputable glass shops can replace just the glass portion of the mirror housing. Auto Glass companies have access to mirrors that are pre-cut to fit your particular make and model of vehicle.\nIf a Redi-cut mirror is not available for your vehicle, one can be custom cut for you. Most standard mirrors of this kind can usually be installed for $100 or less. The more options you have on the mirror, such as heated mirrors or turn signals in the mirror, tends to increase the mirror cost and labor costs slightly. So next time this happens to you don’t wait until a broken mirror causes you an accident call your local glass shop and ask to just replace the glass.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

They are also popular for recreation and sport.\nThere are many different types of bikes, each one having its own unique qualities that make them appealing to people. Some of them are strictly utilitarian while others are designed for purely aesthetic reasons.\nThe basic parts of any motorcycle include an engine, a chassis, a transmission and wheels. Each of these parts has its own role in making your bike function properly.\nA motorcycle’s engine is often a single-cylinder or dual-cylinder, although there are some four-cylinder machines as well. The engine is a vital component that determines how fast the bike can go. The engine is a central point for all other components to connect to, so it’s important to choose the right type of engine that will suit your riding needs.\nMost motorcycles have a transmission with four to six speeds, usually controlled by twist-type controls on the handgrips. The clutch and throttle control the engine’s speed, and the front-wheel and rear-wheel brakes are controlled by levers on the handlebars.\nThe frame of a motorcycle is typically a steel structure, though aluminum and cast alloys are increasingly common. The tires are similar to automobile tires, except they’re smaller and rounded to allow leaning, which can improve stability in turns.\nRiding a motorcycle is different from riding a bicycle, because you have more power and more weight on two wheels.

They allow you to peek into the world of the possible and see what’s coming. I find it very exciting to see what will be impacting my world in various ways over the next 3-5 years. The topic is around the RIP/MOD/FAB Maker community that is building with 3-D printing at its core.\nThe keynote speaker on the first day of Learning Solutions was Steve Wujec, a senior fellow at Autodesk.\nHere is a video from June 2014 that is very similar to his presentation he shared with us.\nThis model of industry is going to have massive ripple effects across the world and across many industries. What are we talking about?\n2012 is a good example. In this year, Kodak (a major film and photography product company) filed for bankruptcy. But, in the same year, a startup with about 30 employees changed the photography space and made about $1 BILLION in sales. That company is Instagram.\nThe pattern is similar to VCR > DVD > Netflix > YouTube. We are talking about the democratization of products and industries.\nThere is a mix of things that is occurring and it started with the Maker space. But, it has been the combination of things that can sense what is going on around us (FitBit, Google Glass, Mobile Devices), computers that have incredible processing power and capabilities (social, mobile, laptops), and the upcoming revolution with 3-D printing.\nWrap your head around this… There are 1.5 billion cellphones on the planet right now. That means there were more transistors and sensors produced last year than there were grains of rice produced on the entire planet last year. WHAT? There are about a million of them in each phone.\nI had no idea that 3-D printers were being used for materials beyond basic resin. I have seen that many times. But, TODAY, they also print using metals, glass, and fabric.\nThe most common structure designs that keep coming back look like a web. This structure is stronger than steel.\nI saw car that was built in 44 hours, out of metal and plastics, with a 3-D printer. This car gets 180 miles per gallon. What does this mean? It can be totally customized to the buyer and delivered in TWO DAYS.\nYou may think this is not a big deal because it is one car and it will never go mainstream. WRONG! Every major auto manufacturer has a prototype of this type of car in play now. According to Mr. Wujec, they demoed them at the Detroit Auto Show this year.\nHe also shared a video of the Google driverless car and a video of the experience. WOW! This car is more aware of its surroundings than any human could possibly be. It is capable of capturing billions points of data A SECOND. Here are some more videos of this concept and experience if you are curious.\nI saw a Japanese office structure built for $5000 using 3-D Printing and quick-dry cement. It cost less to build this small office than it would cost to hire a crew to build it, not counting the materials.\nI also saw a team of drones (maybe a dozen) that lifted bricks and built a large structure. So what? This team acted like a bee hive and it was controlled by a computer – not a human. They worked in symphony with each other. They were smart enough to know if one was having trouble with a heavy item. Several would fly over and help. The others would slow down and adjust their build speed to match.\nIn the past, a person would create several designs, test them, and fabricate prototypes to test the design quality. Now, a computer can capture the goals of what the designer wants and run through billions of prototypes in a matter of hours and present the designer with the best options.\nImagine going into a shoe store and picking a design you like. Then, they measure your feet, your walking style, determine in what environments you will use the shoe in, and within 45 minutes, you have a totally custom shoe to which you own the design. In this model, you are leasing the materials. When the show wears out, you bring back the design, pay for a review and the materials. They then 3-D print you a new shoe. This exists today – it did not two years ago.\nJournalism and Big Data\nDid you know that somewhere around half or more of sports stories are not written by a human? I didn’t! Computers dig into the statistical data surrounding a game of series of games and completely create the article or news story about that article. The human just verifies the language of the information.\nPersonal Health and Medicine\nHave you heard of Watson? In 2011, this IBM computer beat the two longest reigning champions of Jeopardy? Watson had much of the Internet and the entirety of Wikipedia downloaded to its physical computer. It did not just win. It destroyed the champion.\nWatson has been busy…now, it can run on a cell phone and it exists in the cloud. It also has the ENTIRE American Medical Journal in its system. They tested it against 12 board certified physicians in diagnosing and treating various illnesses and diseases. It was more effective than all 12 of the physicians together.\nHere is an article that talks about Watson in a little more detail.\nAnother use of big data is in a tool called the Scandu – also known as a tricorder (Star Trek reference). This captures various points of data about you and seems to repeatedly be more accurate than a doctor.\nTraining & Learning\nWe really need to think about what this new reality will require, in the way of skills and how to train people for this new environment. You also may be dealing with training individuals that are connected to industries that use this technology (so, they don’t need to know how to operate it, but they need to understand the impact of this tech on how they do their business). Skills this new way of thinking could require include:\n- Goal setting and constraint definitions\n- Researching ideas and being able to show others how they think\n- Designing of systems, rather than the individual components of the systems\nWhat Does this All Mean?\nThis is all coming or is in existence right now. Your role as a learning professional continues to evolve. What you do, how you do it, and the information you offer your learners will be impacted in the next several years by all these changes.\nA one-year old today won’t know a world without these things! That’s where this impact will occur. I expect it be another 10X shift in how learning operates.\nWhat do you think? How will these technologies and advancements impact the training and development industry?", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The pollution of the system directly affects the reliability of the hydraulic system and the service life of the components. Statistics, about 70% of hydraulic system failures at home and abroad are caused by pollution.\nHydraulic and electrical related technical support\nThe hydraulic electrical system is a metallurgical term. The hydraulic system adopts the K-type three-position five-way electromagnetic reversing valve as the main reversing valve, and the main reversing valve and the two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve are connected in parallel, and then connected to the hydraulic cylinder to form a partial liquid resistance. And the shortest differential fast-forward loop of the pipeline.\nCustom processing of hydraulic valve blocks\nBlocks are very common and very important components in hydraulic systems. They are compact and easy to maintain, install, adjust and replace hydraulic components. Generally, the oil hole inside the hydraulic valve block is processed by drilling or boring.\nAssembly of hydraulic accessories\nHydraulic components are hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic valves, superchargers and other components used in hydraulic systems. The failure of hydraulic components leads to noise, and the suction phenomenon is one of the main causes of excessive noise of the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump distribution plate is also one of the important components that cause noise.\nCustom processing of hydraulic systems\nThe function of the hydraulic system is to increase the force by changing the pressure. A complete hydraulic system consists of five parts, namely the power element, the actuator, the control element, the auxiliary element (accessory) and the hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic systems can be divided into two categories: hydraulic drive systems and hydraulic control systems.\nHydraulic system repair and after-sales\nThe hydraulic system consists of a power component, a control component, and an actuator component, among which there is a heat dissipation system. The main maintenance of the hydraulic system is to maintain the cleanliness of the oil and the choice of hydraulic oil. Regularly change the oil suction and return oil filter, and replace the sealing rubber ring of the air filter at the fuel filler port regularly.\nHydraulic oil pipe production\nThe production of hydraulic oil pipes has many equipments, many kinds of raw materials, and complicated production processes. However, in recent years, the production process of hydraulic oil pipes using plastic or thermoplastic elastomer as the main raw material can be appropriately simplified, and the raw material price is high, and the market is still mainly based on rubber raw materials.\nCompany Address: No. 91 Yinchuan Road, Taicang City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province\nPostal code: 215400", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

But do you even know that you can use your air conditioner for both hot and cold air purposes? Yes, you heard it right. A reversible air conditioner which is also called a hot and cold air conditioners performs more duty than cooling a room. In this blog, we will cover major highlights about reversible air conditioners and their advantages for use at home.\nAbout Reversible Air Conditioners\nReversible Air Conditioners are also called hot and cold air conditioners that adjust to both cold and warm room temperatures. An air conditioner uses warm air that exists in the environment and then passes it to a refrigerant before circulating it in the room. A hot and cold air conditioner has a heat pump included in it which does the same process but reversely. Nowadays, it has become convenient for people to buy one air conditioner and enjoy both hot and cold air in different seasons.\nRelated Article: https://gadgetsbynow.com\nAdvantages of hot and cold air conditioners\nThe Best Split ACs in India are usually the reversible ones, that have the capability of giving both cold and hot air. It is somewhat beneficial for people with small-sized rooms with no or less space for heaters. Also, these air conditioners consume less energy in comparison to a heater. A reversible air conditioner also doesn’t harm the decor of the room and is easy to manage. Some of the other key advantages of using a hot and cold air conditioner in a room during winter are:\n1. Uniformity in Temperature:\nMost of the hot and cold air conditioners distribute heat uniformly at high capacity as compared to room heaters.\nChances of device and equipment damage are possible while using a room heater in the room. It is not a point of concern though, while using a hot and cold air conditioner.\n3. Oxygen level:\nElectric room heaters cause the burning of oxygen whereas reversible air conditioners do not run at high temperatures. This, therefore, does not decrease oxygen levels in the room.\nPeople with children at home usually have concerns about their safety while using room heaters. Children cannot reach or touch the height at which the hot and cold air conditioner is installed on the walls.\n5. Energy utilization:\nA hot and cold air conditioner uses 1 KW of electrical energy to produce 2-4 KW of heat energy. Also, it varies on the outdoor and room temperature as well.\nThe best Split ACs in India are also reversible air conditioners. They might be expensive when considering the buying price, but also perform 2-in-1 operations. These air conditioners have also eliminated the need for heaters in the winter season. In such cases, they are also referred to as worth-buying options.\nTop-Picked Hot and Cold Air Conditioners (2024)\nWeather air conditioners, also known as reversible air conditioners, are the best options for countries like India with extreme weather conditions. In summer, people can’t live in high temperatures without an air conditioner and in the same way, winters are quite impossible to bear without a heater. Following is the list of some top picks of hot and cold air conditioners as per the latest rankings and surveys:\n- Voltas 1.5 Ton Split AC (1.5 ton)\n- LG 3 Star 5-in-1 convertible AC (1.5 ton)\n- Daikin 4 Star Hot & Cold Inverter AC (1.5 ton)\n- Panasonic 3 Star Hot and Cold Smart Wi-Fi Inverter AC (2 Ton)\n- Lloyd 5 Star Hot & Cold Inverter Split AC (1.5 ton)\n- What capacity AC is ideal for a 200 Sq Ft Room?\nAns. 1 or 1.25-ton capacity AC is ideal for a 200 Sq Ft Room in India. For rooms smaller than this size, 1-ton AC is a good choice.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

(Length Over All): Total length of vessel from bow to stern.\nD.W.L. (Distance at Waterline): Hull length at the waterline. This number is somewhat dynamic, changing with respect to the heeling moment. Typically, a longer D.W.L. is one of the factors which translates to increased hull speed.\nBEAM: The widest dimension atwartships at the waterline.\nDRAFT: The depth of water that the vessel draws, or displaces, especially when loaded\nDISPLACEMENT: The volume or weight of water, in long tons (1 long ton = 2240 lbs.), displaced by the vessel.\nBALLAST: Anything heavy in a ship (e.g., lead, in the keel of a sailing vessel) to give stability.\nSAIL AREA: Sail area is the total of the main sail and, for example, in the case of a sloop, the area of the front triangle (based on a 100% jib).\nI: Distance from highest sheave for jib halyard measured vertically to the shear at deck abreast the mast (NOT cabin top, or deck at mast).\nJ: Horizontal distance from front of mast to forestay fitting or Jib Tack at bow or bowsprint.\nP: Vertical distance from top of boom or tack to head; luff length of mainsail.\nE: Distance along boom from aft side of mast at Tack, to Clew of mainsail; footlength of sail.\nMAST HEIGHT ABOVE D.W.L.:\nHEADROOM: Standing room inside cabin (typically measured. by the manufacturer, between the cabin sole and the hatch cover. Perhaps a more meaningful dimension would be from the cabin sole to the overhead liner which is typically a few inches lower than the hatch cover on boats constructed with a liner and comprises, by far, the greatest percentage of the cabin's work space.\nCOCKPIT LENGTH: Inside dimensions of distance between stern and companionway bulkheads\nTHEORETICAL HULL SPEED: The theoretical maximum speed a deep-keeled vessel (e.g., sailboat) can travel through water. It should be noted that boats surfing down waves, or lightish-displacment boats that can plane over the surface of waves can generate higher speeds than the theoretical maximum. Hull speed is calculated as follows: 1.34 * square root of waterline length (D.W.L.) in feet.\nD/L RATIO (Displacement/Length Ratio): D/L = displacement in long tons (divide displacement by a long ton (2240 lbs.) to find displacement value) / (.01 * D.W.L.)3. A value of 100 or so would indicate an ultralight-displacement boat (ULDB) such as a racer. A medium-displacement value (typical of cruiser/racers) is about 200-300, and heavy-displacement cruisers at around 300 or more.\nSA/D RATIO (Sail Area/Displacement Ratio): SA/D = sail area / (displacement in cubic feet) 2/3 -- where 2/3 means square the displacement in cubic feet (for salt water, divide displacement by 64 to get displacement in cubic feet) and then take the cubic root of that number. A high-performance racer (typically large sail area and light displacement) may have an SA/D value of 18 or higher. A heavier-displacement cruiser may show a value of around 14 or lower. Moderate-dispacement cruiser/racers typically show a SA/D value of around 16.\nCAPSIZE SCREENING FORMULA (CSF): To calculate the CSF, first divide the displacement by 64 (volume in cubic feet for salt water). Then, find the cubic root of that number (i.e., the cubic root of the displacement in cubic feet). Finally, divide the beam by the number you just arrived at (i.e., divide the beam by the cubic root of the displacement in cubic feet) to determine the CSF. A value of less than 2 translates to a relatively safe boat in rough conditions. Greater than 2 indicates rough weather vulnerability. The CSF gives a quick and dirty capsize vulnerability indicator. It is, however, less rigorous than the mathematical formula used by most naval architects to determine the maximum angle a boat can heel and still right itself without doing a 360. If a sailing vessel could right itself up to a heeling angle of about 100 degrees--it would be a good thing.\nMOTION COMFORT RATIO (MCR): MCR = displacement / (0.65 * (0.7 * D.W.L + 0.3 * L.O.A) * beam 4/3). This ratio is a relative measure of the motion comfort of a boat. A boat that is less affected by significant wave action is generally considered more comfortable. Smaller, beamier boats tend to have a lower ratio while longer (D.W.L.) less beamy boats, a higher number. Typical MCRs range between about 14-38.\nBALLAST RATIO (BR): BR = displacement/ballast. Typical BR values range between 2:1 and 3:1. Tradeoffs between speed, stability, comfort and manuverability are factored in when determining the BR. These tradeoffs depend on the vessel's intended use (i.e., blue water cruising, coastal cruising, daysailing, racing or some combination thereof).\nMAXIMUM RANGE OF POSITIVE STABILITY: Naval architects determine the maximum range of positive stability by the combination of a rigorous mathematical formula based on the section area curves, as well as an experimental inclination test. The results yield the maximum angle a boat can heel and still reright. Most offshore cruisers would want to have a range of maximum positive stability of at least 120 degrees. In the event of a knockdown, the mast will initially be submerged at about an angle of 90-100 degrees. The greater the range of positive stability--the better the chance of rerighting after a knockdown. US Sailing Association's IMS certificates for Pearson 30s typically yield a maximum of about 120 degrees of positive stability.\nPHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) : Performance handicapping systems are based on the speed potential of a yacht, and the ratings have been derived from observations of previous race data. Base ratings, have been determined from past performance of a class or similar type yachts, and some simple measurements are taken to make adjustments, i.e. larger sails, propulsion and others. Ratings vary slightly, depending on the region, and other factors. Generally, and arguably, the lower the PHRF number, the faster the boat.\nThe Pearson 30 was designed by naval architect Bill Shaw. Approximately 1,185 fin-keeled, spade-rudder P30 sloops were produced in Portsmouth, Rhode Island from 1971 to 1981 attesting to her tremendous popularity. The P30 was designed, primarily as a coastal cruiser, however, she had a good turn of speed and was successfully and actively raced throughout the country under PHRF, IOR, and MORC certification. She won the 3/4 Ton North American Championship in 1972.\nPearson was one of the oldest fiberglass boatbuilders in the country. Their Triton and Alberg 35, preceeding the P30, are two of the classic modern boats. In the 1970's, with over 20 years of fiberglass boatbuilding research and development, and practical experience, Pearson had solved most of the construction problems that seemed to plaque some builders. The hull structure is a hand layup in a one-piece mold of alternating plies of 1 1/2-ounce mat and 18-ounce woven roving. Two layers of omnidirectional mat are used beneath the gelcoat. Below the waterline is a solid seven-ply layup, yielding an average bottom thickness of .29 inches. Along the keel, the the plies from each side are overlapped, doubling the thickness. The topside skin is five plies of mat and roving with an average thickness of .21 inches. The deck is a fiberglass/end-grain balsa sandwich. The hull-to-deck joint is made by glassing together the external flanges of the hull and deck and backed up with stainless steel screws every four inches. The ballast is molded lead which is encapsulated in the fiberglass keel molding. Resin is poured over the ballast and locked in place avoiding the need for keel bolts. The mast is deck stepped and made of 6061-T aluminum. It is supported by an oak compression post that is glassed into the top of the keel. Chainplates are bolted to primary structural bulkheads that are glassed in. Much of the interior construction is bonded to the hull, including the fiberglass floorpan and molded headliner. Pearson hull strength is considerate, having slightly heavier scantlings than average. The rigging is strong and somewhat larger than most boats of her type making her very suitable for the coastal cruising conditions she was designed for.\nThe interior is spacious considering a boat of this vintage and relatively narrow beam. There is plenty of compartmentalized stowage both belowdecks and in the cockpit locker and lazerette. Headroom, in the main cabin is five feet, eleven inches, and six feet, one inch, in the area just under the companionway hatch, near the galley. The cabinet and locker face sufaces are easily cleaned, low-maintenance white formica, trimmed with teak. The headliner is smooth, rounded, and light colored. The forward and aft bulkheads, as well as the door seperating the forward and aft cabins from the head were constructed of plywood and covered with a teak-patterned (non wood) veneer that makes a good candidate for renovating with a fresh coat of mildew-resistant marine-grade paint to lighten up the interior even further, while at the same time reducing the inherent mismatch of simulated wood grain contrasted with real teak. With four portlights (including one in the head, that opens), a forward opening transparent hatch, and two long, main cabin windows, the interior has a clean, airy feeling. There is enough teak trim in the form of handrails, cockpit storage bins, companionway hatch coverings, winch and turning block bases, etc. to provide a classic touch without the heavy maintenance required of traditional all teak interiors and heavily teaked exterior decks and cockpits.\nThe original 30hp Atomic 4 engine provides adequate power to move through chop and windy conditions. A recent trip in 30 knots of wind with 6 foot chop yielded an average speed, going to windward, with an opposing current of about one knot, of 3 knots/hr. Typical cruising speed is 6 knots plus under power. The venerable A4 engine is relatively quiet and smooth. Access to the engine is easily gained by removing the companionway steps, the quarterberth access cover, or by access from the sail locker. Engine access for routine maintenance is reasonable once you, literally, get the feel for it (some tasks like checking the oil require that you reach around, behind the engine to retrieve the diptick -- since you can't see the dipstick from the access door on the front side of the engine compartment you must feel for it, and with a little practise it becomes easy to find, remove and replace the dipstick. This is necessary when draining the oil as well. However, it's easy to add or replace oil, as the oil filler cap is right in front). Some tasks require some extraodinary flexibility on the part of the mechanic, a common trade-off on a sailboat of this size. My A4 mechanic says the P30's engine compartment is a \"ballroom\". You've got to like a guy like that. The P30 has excellent handling characteristics under sail. She is very responsive and turns within a very small radius, a useful characteristic when negotiating tight marinas, etc. She will heel over in a breeze quite readily, but seems to love it, even if you manage to bury her rail she is responsive and moves quickly and with a light touch on the helm. She's not stiff, but she feels very secure and has excellent secondary stability, with a maximum range of positive stability of about 120 degrees, according to IMS certificates obtained on a number of P30s that underwent stability testing. When heeled to angles of more than 20 degrees the P30 retains its light, very well-balanced helm making her easy to handle when the breeze kicks up. With the proper sail combination the P30 is comfortable in a wide range of wind conditions. In a 25-30 knot breeze, with a double reef in the main, and 100% jib, she will sail comfortably to windward, heeling to about 25 degrees or so. With the chop at around 3-5 feet she will still make between 5 to 7 knots under sail, assuming no significant opposing current. Under ideal wind and sea conditions (not factoring in a favorable current) she will cruise at around 7+ knots under full sail. Heeled over, her waterline is a bit longer and results in a better than theoretical speed (6.7 knots) for her D.W.L.\nThe Pearson 30 is simple, clean, well built, safe, fast, and sturdy -- generally speaking, bulletproof. She is very comfortable for two people, such as a cruising couple, and easy to single hand as well, an important consideration when practising crew-overboard rescues. One could comfortably undertake a moderately long trip, for instance, from Seattle's Puget Sound to SE Alaska, encompassing a range of sea and weather conditions, from protected (although not without some very fast currents) inside passage work, through cautious open-ocean coastal cruising on the outside of the islands along the route. The P30 has a nice motion through waves and chop and is surprisingly seakindly, for a moderate-displacement, fin-keeled sailboat. Pearson delivered P30s to many locations, including a number of skippered-deliveries to Bermuda, a 700 mile ocean passage from the east coast of the US where the Pearson 30s where built.\nAlthough the P30 is built rather sturdily and has seen some ocean time, I wouldn't be inclined to sail her offshore on extended passages. The stresses and conditions associated with long ocean crossings are considerably more intense than those related to coastal passages where shelter from harsh weather and seas can usually be found within 1-2 days or less. This is important because it's not likely that you'll be able to wait out a serious storm or series of storms, in the middle of the ocean, without potentially comprimising the structural integrity of a vessel designed primarily for coastal cruising.\nFor near offshore coastal cruising with the opportunity to duck in out of severe conditions within a day or so, the P30 excels. She is a remarkably good example of an understated, well found, responsive, and very well-balanced production boat with an excellent turn of speed and characteristic of the quality and innovation for which Pearson Yachts built their well-deserved reputation.\nOriginal P30 Specifications\nHULL: One-piece molded reinforced fiberglass laminate (hand lay-up) with integrally bonded bulkheads.

We needed a 14,000 GVWR truck that could haul our pickup camper and tow our utility trailer at the same time, and would be economical to drive long distances with our slide-in camper; so, we picked a truck with the 6.7L Power Stroke engine. We had never owned a diesel powered vehicle, but after many test drives and some research, we were amazed by the quiet, clean, and powerful diesel engines that power the new Ford, Chevrolet, GM, and Dodge RAM full size pickups (we test drove each before deciding on the Ford). We travel with our pets and wanted a bigger camper which meant we had to have a big diesel truck.\nWe were curious about the Diesel Exhaust Fluid system on the truck and questioned the dealer about how often we would need to refill the tank and where we could get DEF. The dealer showed us the sections in the owner’s manual where we could find the DEF usage information, and we were relieved to read that a DEF refill would likely not be needed for at least 5000 miles. We found DEF by the gallon at a local auto parts store in Kent, WA, but the Ford owner’s manual advises not to store DEF inside the vehicle so we decided not to carry it in the truck or our pickup camper.\nOne week after taking delivery of our new F350 Super Duty, we loaded up the pickup camper, provisions, two dogs, one cat, and took off for a month-long road trip to visit family across the country. We prefer to avoid crowded freeways and enjoy driving less travelled roads with plentiful, quiet RV campgrounds. We had the trip planned out to arrive at our first stop to visit family in Waterloo, IA five days and 1800 miles after departing our home in Kent, WA.\nThe new truck/camper combination exceeded our expectations: plenty of power to climb hills and pass slow traffic on 2- lane roads, very quiet, and good fuel economy. The new truck averaged 10-11 MPG vs. our previous V10 gas F350/camper combination that got 7-8 MPG in similar conditions. We got familiar with all the new features of the new truck, including Ford’s information and message center where we could track fuel economy and lots of other useful information, including whether the DEF level was OK. It seemed odd there was not a gauge for monitoring how much DEF was in the tank (like a fuel gauge), but it did not seem to be a big deal (more on this later). We got in the habit of checking the Exhaust Fluid level each day.\nPosted on Sun, August 25, 2013\nby Erich filed under", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This article will discuss and address many reasons why this happens and offer some solutions to help you avoid it happening again! The first step is identifying where your noise may be coming from, for example, if an area of your home or property is less insulated.\nThe second step is identifying where the noise may be staying; for example, in a certain area of your home or property.\nThe third step is ensuring the issue does not happen again by addressing or finding where the issue was and removing or repairing the problem causing the issue. You can either do this yourself to avoid any costs, hire a professional to help with any environmentally-unsafe problems, install new AC parts to allow it to work better on its own, or use a cooling tower that will circulate air throughout your home by connecting numerous vents to one central location.\n1. The Blower May Be Loose\nThe blower is a part of the air conditioner that allows air to be blown into other rooms within the home, so if it falls off or becomes loose, it will make loud noises, which may cause concern for your neighbors and you. If this happens to your AC unit, you may try adding washers to the screws securing the blower cap, and tightening them slightly. If this does not work, remove the screws and reattach them with new washers under them.\n2. The Thermostat May Be Defective\nIf you have a defective thermostat, it may be stuck in the “on” or “off” position, which will then cause your air conditioner to turn off prematurely. While this is not harmful to your unit, it can make a lot of noise and stay on longer than it should. Reach out to a professional to get your AC repair.\n3. The Air Ducts May Be Blocked\nIf the air ducts are blocked with debris, dirt, or lint, this can also cause your AC unit to run continuously, even when it’s off. This will also cause your AC unit to make a lot of noise while running, even when it’s off. The best way to unblock your air ducts is using a vacuum cleaner, followed by a water hose to remove any standing water or dirt that may have built up.\n4. Your Refrigerant Levels May Be Too Low\nYour refrigerant levels allow your AC unit to work; these should be checked annually and refilled if needed. If your refrigerant levels are too low, this can cause your air conditioner to make a lot of noise while it is running and eventually stop working. The best way to check your refrigerant levels is by checking the refrigerant level window on your AC unit.\nFor any kind of Air Conditioner Repair, contact Elite Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning.\nBusiness Name – Elite Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning\nAddress: 3085 E Post Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89120, United States\nPhone Number: 702-263-2665", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Recent occurrences have seen landlords being fined for safety failings and for letting properties with dangerous gas boilers and equipment not checked by certified engineers.\nAlthough it is unclear why there have been more of these incidences in the past year, the AIIC is now urging landlords to ensure that all gas systems in their rental properties, including boilers and gas appliances are safe. Carbon monoxide detectors have now become a requirement.\nWhat can you do as a landlord to ensure that the gas appliances in your rental property are safe and working correctly? This guide will help.\nYour Requirements as a Landlord\nAs a landlord, your duty is to ensure the maintenance of all flues and gas fittings to ensure their safe condition. This includes ensuring that all gas appliances are regularly and properly serviced according to manufacturer’s instructions or on the advice of an engineer registered with Gas Safe. Annual safety checks should be carried out on each appliance and its flue before the start of any new lease, or should have been inspected within one year before the start of the new lease. Appliances installed in a rental property for under 12 months will require inspection within one year of installation.\nSafety check records for each appliance must be kept for two years or more, and a copy of the latest safety check issued to existing tenants within 28 days of check completion. If new tenants are moving into the property, they must be given a copy of the record prior to moving in.\nTaking All Reasonable Steps\nIt is the landlord’s duty to ensure they’ve taken all reasonable steps to ensure the safety of tenant appliances. This can mean requesting access to a tenant’s rental property in written form, including this access in their rental contract, or any other reasonable means.\nSafety is not the Tenant’s Duty\nOverall, the responsibility of ensuring compliance with the law belongs to the landlord. The landlord cannot delegate maintenance or safety check duties to the tenant, even if a managing agent is being used. Sub-let properties require the landlord to retain safety duties. However, these duties may overlap with those of the individual who sub-lets. In these cases, communication between the parties to ensure current checks and records are being kept is strongly recommended.\nRisk of Prosecution, Penalty and Imprisonment\nNot taking steps to maintain the gas appliances in tenant residences can result in injury and loss of life. Fines for not maintaining tenants’ gas appliances can reach £20,000, and offending landlords can be placed in prison for non-compliance. In some cases, both a fine and an order for imprisonment may be given. Unlimited fines may be the result of the case if is referred to the Crown Court.\nChecking Certification of Engineer\nAny engineer entering a premises to conduct maintenance and safety checks on an appliance must be confirmed as certified by the landlord. Engineers should be willing and able to provide a current card containing their photo, company name, registration number, security hologram, business registration number and start and expiry date. The back of the card should contain detailed information about the kind of gas work the engineer is registered to do.\nIf ever in doubt about the certification of an engineer, landlords can call the Gas Safe Register during office hours on 0800 408 5500, or visit http://www.gassaferregister.co.uk.\nAny appliances which fail the safety check must be re-examined and the problem rectified by a certified Gas Safe engineer before using the equipment again. No appliance deemed unsafe should be turned on or placed into use until the identified problem has been rectified.\nShould the smell of gas be detected, immediately open all windows and doors. Next, you’ll need to ensure the gas supply is shut off at the meter control valve. If this valve is unable to be found, and gas continues to leak, call the Gas Emergency Freephone Number 0800 111 999.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This does not always happen, but when it does, it can be taken as a quality paradigm for what you are doing, recognizing the results and positive consequences thereof. Even after decades, in every continent.\nIn each of the three reference markets - Household appliances, Automotive and Industrial sectors - we selected a story that tells about our journey and shows how a systemic, qualitative approach, that has been adopted for several years now, can even today give us the impetus to enhance the research and development paths which we started a long time ago: competitiveness, strategic advantages, edge over competitors and market position are in various ways consequences thereof and, in turn, new bases on which to continue growing together. With the pride of being able to tell a story that encompasses a worldwide process even if it solely refers to our corporate world, with the ability of foreign subsidiary companies to act as cognitive, manufacturing and development extensions of all the scenarios we are involved in.\nThat is why we want to tell you about our “Butterfly Effect”. This phenomenon, known in the era of globalization due to the relationship and the concatenation of consequences that local actions may have at a global level, takes on a very special meaning if used to analyse the development of some MTU products.\nWe hope you enjoy the read.\nSince the early nineties, in an effort to try and solve noise problems and issues due to the gasket getting stuck as a result of long periods of inactivity, the household appliance pump market has called for the power of water pump motors to be reduced.\nMeccanotecnica Umbra took up the challenge 25 years ago, developing a material for sliding rings capable of reducing sliding friction. PTFE patented by MTU with appropriate fillers: Mecflon. “Basically”, said Marco Benincasa, “in the early 90s, the market for household appliances, and specifically for dishwashers, called for a motor power reduction and the elimination of noise, which was also caused by the gasket and mechanical seal. Furthermore, reducing the motor power, which is linked to the starting torque, will reduce costs. To do this, a material was needed that would not get stuck, especially in the periods following long breaks in use.” At the core of this long development process was therefore a market requirement, which MTU was challenged to meet, “overcoming the intrinsic limits of a material which, as a plastic, has known limits of use. Our Mecflon exceeds the structural limits of materials, making the most of their advantages. Ongoing product development has continued for 25 years. The first development leap occurred when we were able to replace the carbon ring.\nThe Y1 type, therefore, allowed us to first reduce the absorbed pump power and to somehow eliminate noise and pump locking, thereby immediately placing us at the forefront with respect to the rest of the market.\nIn Mecflon, PTFE (polytetraflurethylene) acts as a “base”, a plastic matrix to be added with fillers, such as glass fibres (in the first Y1 version), or a carbon micro powder in the more recent Y4 one. All versions have therefore been widely used in the market, with Y4 progressively replacing previous versions in all applications. With Y4, we achieved significant improvements also in terms of wear resistance, which is a key issue as these materials are subject to the action of abrasive contaminants”.\nThe process was therefore developed over a long time: “from Y1 (1992) to Y4 (2003-2004), work required further study, trying to understand how to improve our seal which is, as already mentioned, mainly used in the pumps of dishwashers and other machines, such as coffee machines. The first phase was quite rapid, allowing us to reach the market quickly. Then it took over 10 years to fine-tune performance.\nToday, when compared to other PTFE grades, Mecflon is specifically designed to provide greater efficiency, improved wear resistance and lower starting torque.\nMecflon’s effect was therefore once again a key factor to avoid getting stuck and noise. We also achieved remarkable results in defining the design for brushless motors with clear advantages also in terms of wear, for the natural damage caused by the use and movement of the parts”.\nHowever, what really is a winning point at company level is the approach underlying the Mecflon development process that was adopted by the Research and Development team at the Campello facility. “Then, however, for the main part of production and application in the field, MTU China factory’s work became strategic and fundamental, since most customers had already outsourced their production there. We therefore succeeded in pleasing our customers by supporting the production phase in China, without leaving Campello: thus, manufacturing in China but developing in Italy and keeping our methods and approach characteristics unchanged. The consequent growth of our Chinese Subsidiary, therefore, also allowed for Campello’s well-structured growth. What we did was not actually outsource but rather use a form of widespread operational intelligence that brought about a virtuous network economy”.\nBalanced growth, in which all foreign plants manage to seize opportunities in a well-structured way along with headquarters – a further consequence of this special Butterfly Effect produced by choices that were made years ago and that today, find confirmation and are brought forward along with better control of know how.\n“Mecflon was a key product for MTU, making us become a reference point for the market: in the last few 25\nin the last few 25 years, all dishwasher manufacturers who mostly use pump and seal technology have purchased our products.\nOur market share is over 50% in Europe and 30% to 40% worldwide. The volume of MTU sales in the household appliance sector largely depends on this material, and on our ability to fully and competitively manufacture it in house, continuously following up on the early insight that led to the product development”.\nMTU is active in the automotive industry, in particular as a manufacturer of mechanical seals for motor water pumps. In recent years, the whole sector has had to deal with changes that occurred in the market as a result of modifications in environmental regulations and a tendency to cut motor power in order to reduce consumption and the ecological impact. Marco Benincasa and Francesco Valentini talk about the 25-year journey that led to the development and improvement of MTU’s response to these various issues.\n“It all started with the emergence of a new market requirement: on the one hand, it was necessary to reduce the physiological cosmetic micro loss that mechanical seal parts must have; on the other hand, as a result of the environmental regulations becoming increasingly stringent, the composition of antifreeze liquids, which in the past were very polluting, had been changed, thereby determining different behaviours, both as cooling liquids and as lubricants, bringing about a change in the mechanical parts coming into contact with these liquids due to physical (a risk of surface abrasion of the seals of the pumps moving them) and chemical (a tendency of antifreeze to form deposits due to the presence of mineral salts) reasons. We therefore had to react to these changes, which had been brought about precisely as a result of modifications to the regulations and motor working conditions: both a general reduction in power and a tendency to produce smaller, faster and hotter motors, causing greater stress for all affected components. Also in the automotive sector, the minimum power absorbed by a water pump has become a significant element in the overall reduction of motor power: in many cases, in new electric or hybrid vehicles, the electric pump has lower power, which is an edge for those who can manufacture it functionally.\nThe early phase of development involved identifying the ideal materials to make the two seal rings of. In some applications, working temperatures require the use of carbon rings: we therefore had to look for a type of carbon that had all ideal characteristics at the same time: the lowest possible friction, the greatest resistance to wear and the least possible thermal expansion in the application ( -40° +140°) to avoid size variations that could affect the pump operation.\nWe thus, ended up defining C.U.G. (Carbon Ultra Graphite or Hard Carbon Graphite) by focusing on a resin-free sintering process and gradually defining the appropriate mix of carbon and graphite.\nTo optimise the sealing capacity while looking for the best material to be coupled to C.U.G., we considered the use of ceramics, including silicon carbide, with their greater resistance to thermal shock. The problem was, however, to maintain a minimum amount of liquid between the two surfaces in contact, to ensure the necessary lubrication between sealing elements. These materials were developed by a single team that managed to work on both materials and develop each according to the needs of the other, in a mutual, parallel process.\nFor automotive applications, today we are the only ones to have used this type of silicon carbide and carbon, in the wake of recent\nyears’ technological challenge, namely the search for a raw material with particle sizes below 20 microns.\nThese materials have therefore been developed to feature the least possible friction in working conditions and a stable lubrication film between parts, thus not only ensuring a low, uniform temperature but also keeping material buildups, noise and excessive torsion under control. Therefore, the request for friction reduction and the reaction to the variation of fluids and the contingent market needs have urged us to follow a path of research and development that has led us to change and evolve the components of our product and their structural and surface conditions.\nCarbon has gradually had an increasingly fine micro-grain. Silicon carbide surface porosity, which we have obtained with Laser technology instead of by pressing since 2010, was widened, making us gain a significant edge in precision terms. This also definitely improved the problem of noise resulting from rubbing: thanks to this parallel development, graphite powder particle size has been studied to perfectly interact with Silicon Carbide porosity, allowing us to avoid the suppliers’ “blackmail” for “standard” material supplies, as well as guaranteeing us far higher performance benefits with respect to our competitors. This process allowed us to position ahead of Japanese and German competitors, since we managed to industrialise production in a competitive way and, above all, within a functional process related to manufactured quantities: we still carry out mass production that requires low costs. So we can say that we optimised precision in light of the costs imposed on us by market conditions and production volumes.\nThis is a 25-year story focused on continuous research, which today, continues to look to the next 25 years with the same attitude that in recent years has made it possible for customers to appreciate our difference.\nThe market share we are currently holding in this area is entirely the result of our ability to solve customer problems. And if we have managed to give these answers, it is because we did not focus only on production costs, but we realized that design had to be moved from the product to the material.\nWe can proudly say that instead of designing “only” the product, we designed the materials to build the product with.\nIt is in this sense that talking, for example, of Designed Porosity for our silicon rings is tantamount to telling a complete vision, a method and a work approach typical of MTU: all design elements are instrumental to the customer’s result.\nThe entire research and development phase took place in Campello sul Clitunno: an investment was needed here in Campello to serve all the manufacturing facilities for silicon carbide and laser surface finishing. A strategic choice we have made for 15 years, even at the expense of some competitiveness, but which guarantees control, quality and a certain degree of confidentiality. For manufacturing and marketing phases, however, foreign subsidiaries have come into the game as critical players to fiercely hit markets with the most competitive conditions ever, but above all with highly effective local logistic and manufacturing facilities. Just as the after-sales phase is fundamental for our type of relationship with customers, which is the tangible reason why we continue doing research, thanks to a structured continuous feedback process. Thus, the high-tech investments made in Campello have their raison d’être and are paid off by the group logic, allowing continuous and virtuous flow between product research and marketing, and allowing for mass production in the volumes required for its own subsistence, thanks to multiple requests from subsidiaries. It is precisely global sales that can support the required figures. Otherwise, manufacturing limited quantities of rings to only serve a local market would not be advantageous for anyone.\n30 years ago we were the smallest of the 13 companies that operated in the automotive industry. Today, we are the second of three companies that survived, and all this is largely due to our research on materials. This allowed us to capitalise on an enormous competitive edge, with respect to competitors who have to purchase materials externally, which are sometimes not even specific to their applications, with consequent difficulties to adapt to technological leaps or market innovations. We managed to acquire 20-25% of the market share of our competitors who, especially due to technical matters rather than economic ones, have proven to be less flexible than we are. By researching, designing and building materials in house we have had more opportunities to meet requests, and more adequate reaction times”.\nThis story describes how developing a seal for a given application has actually broadened the application base of the product it is used in. The growth of twin-screw pumps is intertwined with the design and reliability of the seals developed by Huhnseal, used in the food and beverage industry, “custom-made design” gains an even greater meaning and scope, as Daniele Ficorilli and Luca Tamburelli told us.\nScrew Pumps are pumps that are used for viscous products, such as honey or fruit they handle the product in a very gentle way, so much so that even strawberries are not damaged.\nIt all began about 20 years ago. In early 2000, our collaboration with a customer who is still one of the industry leaders\nled us to develop some twin-screw pump seals for the food and beverage industry, for the first time. So we can say that it all started with this customer’s insight, which we made possible by contributing to the success of this technology for the food industry.\nDeveloping the product and fostering its natural growth required twenty years. In this period, there have been several generations of seals for twin-screw pumps, developed and modified according to changing industry standards and legislation.\nHuhnseal’s participation in the European Committee that oversees the design of hygienic equipment, the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering Design Group — www.ehedg.org) was a major benefit for us. Huhnseal is an active member of this committee, whose function is to define the standards for the design of the hygienic components of engineering products. As a result we were able to apply rigorous technical design practices, making components more hygienic.\nOver time, not only has our product – the seal – evolved, but so has the pump itself, for use in new hygienic applications, for exampleits use with chocolate, where the mechanical seal was a limiting factor preventing Twin Screw Pump from being used with this product.\nToday Huhnseal is the main supplier of reliable seal solutions to OEM’s manufacturing twin screw pumps to be used for chocolate processing.\nAs you can imagine, there are many parameters to monitor even for very slight use variations. We are proud to see how Huhnseal's research and development contribution has basically made it possible to help our partners develop the market and, thanks to a mechanical seal used in certain applications, to see the twin-screw pump as a possible solution.\nOur seal development has had a significant impact on the success of twin-screw pumps used in chocolate applications.\nAll this is the result of our ability to custom design solutions that satisfies the needs of all stakeholders. Huhnseal is today a market leader in mechanical seals for pumps and rotating equipment to be used in the food and beverage industry.\nDecember 17, 2018 was a very special day for MTU Brazil. We organised the annual Solidarity Campaign, collecting and donating objects for children charities in need. Heartfelt thanks to all those who contributed to the donation. The objects collected were delivered to the Casa di Gesù Maria José Orphanage and the Casa della Madre Maria nursery.\nA Cultural Association was founded in 2017 among the employees of MTU to enhance the free time of all those who interact with our company with recreational, sports and cultural activities. Below are the pictures of the visit to the Royal Palace of Caserta on 11 May 2019.\nOn 21 March 2019 we were pleased to host Francesca Pasinelli, Telethon’s General Manager. She discussed the crucial role played by this Foundation in the field of medical scientific research.\nWe invest in our future and in Educational change and Development projects. A unique teaching experience, combining the English language with a theatre workshop, to enhance skills to be strengthened and made expendable. A collaboration with Primo Circolo Didattico Spoleto, which we are proud of, that took place directly at the Campello Sul Clitunno Nursery School. Thanks to the Principal, to the teachers, to the professionalism of Artelingua and its teacher, and of course thanks to all those who believed in our project and in a certainly innovative teaching proposal. And thanks to the children who have welcomed this teaching project with great effort and enthusiasm.\nOn 22 December 2018, during the usual end-of-year party, we celebrated the 90th birthday of our vice president and Meccanotecnica Umbra founder, Fulvio Ginobri. A party in which the whole company participated with emotion, to exchange greetings and pay tribute to our beloved Mr Ginobri.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

We sell Listeroid engines from India. Listeroids are copies or clones of the original 1930's Lister with two Large flywheels and come with one or two cylinders. Average rpm's on these engines is between 400 and 900.\nQuestion: I heard the EPA band these engines in the U.S.A.?\nAnswer: That's not entirely true. Currently only Listeroid engines coming into the U.S. must be EPA certified to clear customs. U.S. engine builders like WCAEAPS fall under different EPA rules and regulations. As of August 19, 2014 anyone in the U.S. can buy, sell, trade or own a Listeroid engine. When people ask me this question, I always smile and say (How many Listeroid engines would you like?)\nQuestion: I see Listeroid engines listed on E-Bay for $2,895.00, will you match there price?\nAnswer: Yes! I will match or in some cases even offer the same Listeroid engine for much less. Example: 6/1 engine parts kit start at $1,495.00 and complete India Green engines start at $ 1,995.00. If you find a lower price send us proof that you can actually purchase the Listeroid engine at that price in the U.S. and I will match it.\nOld Style Listers has been selling Listeroid engines since 2000 and we are still selling Listeroids today. Why buy an incomplete Listeroid (Compressor) when you can buy a real working Listeroid from Old Style Listers instead!\n- Yes we have complete Listeroid engines\n- Yes we have Listeroid parts\n- Yes we sell Listeroid engine kits\n- Yes we offer heavy duty tools that will help you remove those stubborn flywheel keys\n- Yes we stand behind every Listeroid engine we sell with a warehouse full of parts\n- Yes we also customize parts for any Listeroid engine. See WCAEAPS for more information\n- Yes we can be reached anytime with one simple phone call or text message\n- Yes we have the answers to 97% of your Listeroid engine questions so go-ahead and ask\n- Yes we are the only true LISTEROID ENGINE DEALER IN THE U.S.A.\n- Yes all other Listeroid engine dealers have stopped selling Listeroid engines in the U.S.A.. Some may offer you a so called COMPRESSOR! Buyer Beware!!!\nA Listeroid engine is only as good as the parts you put into it. Soft cast-iron and out of round parts are always used in the lowest (Cheap) priced engines along with casting sand, thin casted cylinder blocks and so on. If you are serous about longevity then you must use parts like: steel idler gears, steel camshaft gears, induction hardened crankshafts, induction hardened camshaft lobes, custom camshafts, CNC machined pistons, CNC machined connecting rods, copper shell bearings, American grade 8 bolts, hardened, steel valve seats, steel valve guides, extra large roller bearings and so on. This is only a very small list of over 100 custom add-ons and features we can add to any Listeroid engine that will increase the life from 10,000 hours all the way to 120,000 + hours.\nNo two customers will order the exact same engine with all the same upgrades from us so it is very important that you have a reasonable goal in mind and the budget to get it all done correctly the first time. Let us know what your budget is so we can build a custom engine to fit into your budget.\nAlways include you full name, address and phone number when contacting us.\nNo other engine comes close to one of these, plus if you install all our recommended upgrades your investment will also increase over time, just like your home.\nIn the next few photos you will see how our customer has installed the engine for his home.\nBefore you receive your engine from us you will need to build a proper cement foundation as shown.\nThe engine should be high enough off the ground so you can hand start it easily.\nBuild the enclosure (building) so it looks just like the rest of your home or office.\nHere you see that the exhaust has been run down into the cement and out side. On other installations the heat from the exhaust is used to make fresh hot water for showers, laundry and kitchen use.\nIn this installation they decided to go with a radiator to keep the engine running at it's designed operating temperature. The alternative method is to use insulated storage tanks that keep the engine at it's designed operating temperature while storing the engines heat for other more important uses like heating your home, shop and excreta.\nAfter completion of your Listeroid power system and building as shown above the Listeroid system will actually increase the valve of your home so if you ever decide to sell your home you will receive back every penny spent and then some.

Given some of the manufacturer’s ingredients were heat sensitive, an out-of-the-box solution would not meet all their requirements so customization was critical.\nThe manufacturer worked closely with Sturtevant, creators of particle size reduction and air classification equipment, to find suitable machines for their purposes. Initially, Sturtevant recommended the Simpactor, a centrifugal, pin-type impact mill but boasts a versatility in its functions including high-impact grinding and slower, RPM mixing and blending. The food manufacturer used the smallest version of the Simpactor for research and development purposes for particle reduction and high-intensity mixing but another recommendation was made when it came to light they also needed a solution for infestation control.\nThe Infestroyer is a centrigual, pin-type impact mill that has shown a 100% kill rate on red flour beetles and their larvae. This machine could kill infestations before feeding the ingredients to the Simpactor that could then offer the particle reduction and mixing but the Simpactor needed to be customized to protect the food manufacturer’s ingredients,and avoid contamination, during the grinding process. In conjunction with Sturtevant’s engineering department, the dedicated Product Manager for the Simpactor presented customizations to the food manufacturer including being fabricated with stainless steel contact parts and a patent pending cooling technology.\n“Every application, even for the same material, has to be assessed individually and customizations suggested,” explains Steve Puleo, Product Manager for Sturtevant. Understanding specific needs of each inquiry allows for changes to machines that benefit the customer.\nSturtevant Inc. is the leading family-owned manufacturer of material processing equipment including its patented Micronizer jet mill which produces sub-micron sized particles, Powderizer an air-swept impact mill with integral classifier, Simpactor and Infestroyer, centrifugal, pin-type mills and three types of high performance air classifiers that separate fine and coarse particles with precision and accuracy.\nFor more information, check out the Simpactor product page, Infestroyer product page, or please contact the company at 1-800-992-0209 or email sales[at]sturtevantinc.com or visit https://sturtevantinc.com.

This applies to measurements taken, for example, in the combustion chambers of reciprocating engines or in gas turbines. In these cases, external charge amplifiers are used, which convert the charge signal to a voltage signal outside the high-temperature zone.\nWith the Ifta ChargeAmp, IfTA has introduced a new Ex nA (ATEX zone 2) certified differential in-line charge amplifier to the market; one specifically tailored to the requirements of high-temperature applications.\n- Selectable gain from 5 to 250 mV/pC\n- Output signal: 10 Vpp\n- Integrated band-pass filter (low-pass at 3 Hz – high-pass 20 kHz)\n- IEPE supply: 8-12mA recommended (functional with 4mA)\ncompatible with ICP®, CCLD, Isotron®, Deltatron®, Piezotron® etc.\n- Very good 116 dB SNR\n- Excellent EMC properties\n- Differential input (single-ended version available)\n- Compensation for the pyroelectric \"popcorn effect\" with piezoelectric sensors\n- Ex nA (ATEX zone 2) certified (in conjunction with IfTA OMDS / DynaMaster)\n- Proven under harsh conditions (up to IP65)\nThe IfTA ChargeAmp can be integrated between sensors and measuring devices without the need for an external power supply because it receives its power from an IEPE (compatible with ICP®, Piezotron® etc.) This simplifies the measurement chain and makes the charge amplifier universally compatible and inherently short-circuit-proof.\nEx nA certification\nA version with Ex nA (ATEX) certification is available for use in hazardous environments. With this option, the charge amp can be located in zone 2, and the evaluation/plotting unit can be located outside of that zone.\nThe IfTA Charge Amp is a differential charge amplifier that ensures optimal protection against common-mode noise such as mains hum, thus optimizing signal quality. A version with optimized CMRR is available for single-ended sensors.\nIn order to obtain the optimal gain for all measuring chains, sensitivities from 5 to 250 mV / pC can be selected. 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 250 mV / pC are standardly available. With the modular amplifier concept, even individual customizations can be realized at low cost.\nExcellent EMC properties\nIn industrial environments, it is important to pay attention to the electromagnetic compatibility of measuring equipment. This aspect has been given special consideration in the development of IfTA Charge Amp, the development phase of which was the subject of numerous tests, both in the EMC laboratory and in the field.\nIn high-end A/D converters, such as those used in the IfTA AD4 line, for example, 24-bit precision is now available. To make the most of this precision, IfTA charge amplifier offers particularly low-noise amplification. At 1 kHz, the SNR is 116 dB.\nSensor cracker during the charge amplification of high-temperature sensors presents a particular challenge. They arise when a sensor is heated so quickly that thermal stresses build up in the piezoelectric element. If a sudden expansion of the material occurs, large amounts of electric charge can be abruptly released. In simple charge amplifiers, this so-called pyroelectric effect(\"popcorn- effect\") can overload the electronics for seconds and effectively blind a sensor.\nTo meet this challenge, special measures have been taken to minimize the impact of this effect with the IfTA Charge Amp. In addition, the software detects the typical pattern of a sensor \"shot\" and can take this information into consideration during the analysis.\nThe result is a charge amplifier with highest availability.\nApplication in gas turbines\nA typical application for such a measurement chain is the measurement of pressure in the combustion chambers of stationary gas turbines in order to identify thermoacoustic combustion instabilities.\nFor this purpose, the voltage signal that the charge amplifier generates is sampled by an analog input card (e.g. AD4 IEPE). The IfTA OMDS System performs special analyses of the frequency and time domains and, via a communication interface with the gas turbine controller, protects the machine against damage caused by combustion oscillations.\nEffective compensation for sensor \"shots\" is particularly important with such applications, so that costly spurious shutdown of the machine can be avoided.\nThe alternative: IfTA AD4Pro with integrated charge amplifier\nIn situations where the distance to the measuring system to be bridged is just a few meters, IfTA AD4Pro can be used. Each input of the measuring board has its own integrated full-fledged optionally-switchable IfTA ChargeAmp.\nDue to the charge signal's short transmission paths, this design enables optimal signal quality and flexibility.\nThis option is also suitable for mobile applications, as additional electronics are eliminated. The amplification is configured via software and stored along with all of the measuring system's other configuration data. Especially with larger test setups, this has the decisive advantage that changes logged for past configurations can be easily restored. Thus, sources of error will be avoided and set-up is more flexible.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

However, non-economic factors such as COVID-19 and sanctions against Korea by Japan and China pose obstacles to economic cooperation among CJK. Therefore, this study derives policy implications for the efficient management of global value chains (GVCs) in the materials, parts and equipment industries by comparing the supply chain structure of Korea’s materials, parts and equipment industries with Japan and China. The main contents of this study consist of four parts.\nFirst, this study analyzes changes in the trade structure and mutual connections between Korea, China and Japan in the materials, parts and equipment industries, from 2000 to 2018.\nOver the past 20 years, Korea’s materials, parts and equipment industries have grown significantly. During this period, the top industries for Korean exports/imports in the materials, parts and equipment sectors have been electronic components (1st), chemicals and chemical products (2nd), and primary metal products (3rd) ‒ areas of high competition with Japan and China in the global market.\nThe biggest change in Korea’s materials, parts and equipment industries came in 2018, when the import and export rankings of textile products and non-metallic mineral products sharply declined, and the transportation machinery parts and semiconductor display equipment industries rose in their ranking. These changes reflect the fall in production of general-purpose technology industries in Korea, accompanied by an increase in the proportion of industries requiring advanced technology and specialization in related industries. General purpose technology products have changed to a trend of importing from China or third countries.\nTrade in China’s materials, parts and equipment industries also grew rapidly during the same period, and imports and exports of general-purpose technology products increased significantly. The top trade items of China’s materials, parts and equipment industries are electronic products, electrical equipment parts, chemicals and chemical products. China shows very high competitiveness in textile products, but when compared to other industries in terms of export and import data for 2018, these were found to have declined significantly in terms of size and competitiveness against 2001 levels.\nJapan’s materials, parts and equipment industries are still highly competitive. However, the share of industries related to general-purpose technology has been reduced, and only industries specializing in advanced technology fields remain visibly competitive. The remarkable changes in the Japanese materials, parts and equipment industries over the past 20 years have led to a decline in the stature of the textile industry, and the status of the semiconductor display equipment industry has risen far higher than in the past.\nMeanwhile, the characteristics of imports and exports between Korea and China, Korea and Japan, and Japan and China were identified by classifying the materials, parts, and equipment industries into 231 fields. Trade between Korea and China in the materials, parts and equipment industries is concentrated in 20 items, each accounting for more than 1% of the import and export items. As for Japan’s exports in materials, parts and equipment industries to China, there was no detectable phenomenon of specific items dominating exports. The characteristics of Japanese imports from China are similar to those of Korea, but differed in that no items account for more than 1% of imports from China in the equipment industries.\nSecond, the study examined the competitiveness of materials, parts and equipment industries of CJK by comparing the share of imports and exports of materials, parts, and equipment industries, and calculating Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage Index (RSCA), Export Similarity Index (ESI), and Trade Specialization Index (TSI) for each country.\nWhen looking at the share of imports and exports of the materials, parts and equipment industries by CJK in the global market, the rise of China (3.2% in 2001 → 14.4% in 2018) is prominent. On the other hand, Japan’s share of exports declined, while Korea’s increased. A field in which Japan occupies an overwhelming position in the export market of the global materials, parts and equipment industries is the semiconductor display equipment industry. The Korean semiconductor display equipment industry relies on overseas sources for over 90% of its procurement, indicating the need for caution of dependence on Japan in the field.\nWhen analyzing RSCA, Japan had the highest competitiveness, but the gap with Korea has been narrowing since 2016 after peaking in 2011. China continues to show a large gap with Korea and Japan.\nKorea-China, Korea-Japan, and Japan-China ESI has steadily increased over the past 20 years. During the same period, ESI between Korea and China (56.4 → 66.9) increased the most. ESI between Korea and Japan (57.5 → 61.3) and ESI between Japan and China (55.0 → 60.2) also increased.\nWhen examining TSI data, Korea’s competitiveness in textile products, rubber and plastic products, and semiconductor display equipment has weakened compared to the beginning of 2000. All other 13 fields show improved competitiveness. China has improved its competitiveness in all 16 fields. On the other hand, Japan’s competitiveness in the primary metal products, semiconductor display equipment, and measurement equipment industries has improved, while its competitiveness in the other 13 fields has weakened.\nThird, the study analyzed the changes and characteristics of GVCs in the materials, parts and equipment industries of CJK using the World Input-Output Table.\nTaking into account the structural characteristics of production and trade taking place from 2010 to 2018 in the materials, parts and equipment industries of China, Japan and Korea, the production-induced effects (feedback effects, spillover effects, domestic induced effects, etc.) generated under global value chains in the three nations were calculated. It was also analyzed how each country’s production and trade induce other countries’ production and trade. The analysis results are as follows.\n1) The backward linkage effect of materials, parts and equipment industries in CJK was significantly different in 2018 compared to the year 2000, leading to a significant change in GVC from the perspective of production technology.\n2) It was observed that the level of production-induced effects to partner countries in the materials, parts and equipment industries of CJK has also changed significantly.\n3) The globalization of the economy among CJK is having a significant impact on the GVCs change in the materials, parts and equipment industries. In addition, Korea’s import-dependent GVCs linkage with China and Japan is becoming relatively deeper than that of China and Japan.\n4) All three nations show deeper GVCs linkage of production technology, focusing on key export products such as electrical equipment and electronic parts, primary metals and metal processing products, textile products, general machinery parts and equipment, and transportation machinery parts. Through this, it was confirmed that a horizontal division of labor and competition systems are being established not only in the global market but in partner markets as well.\n5) Measuring the inducement structure of production and trade in the materials, parts and equipment industries of CJK shows that the spillover effects of all three countries increased in each other, indicating the formation of interdependent GVC linkage.\n6) The direction of CJK spillover effect changed from “China → Japan, Japan → China, Korea → Japan” in 2000 to “China → Korea, Japan → China, Korea → China” in 2000, signifying a rise in China’s influence.\n7) When examining the results of direct and indirect decomposition of the spillover effects among the three countries, indirect spillover effects were found to be quite small.\n8) Overall, Japan’s materials, parts and equipment industries are highly concentrated in domestic production and show a relatively low level of production-induced effects for other countries.\nFourth, GVC linkage was verified through a survey of materials, parts and equipment companies. The survey was conducted on 3,260 materials, parts and equipment companies during January 2021, and 502 valid samples were obtained.\nThe importance of China and Japan was once again confirmed as a result of a survey on the need to reorganize the supply chain of the materials, parts and equipment industries in Japan and China caused by COVID-19 and diplomatic issues. The results indicate it will be difficult for a new form of GVCs to replace Japan and China for the time being.\nThe importance of Japan and China as trading partners is still high, and there is low possibility of changing sources of procurement from Japan or China. In the end, despite many restrictions due to non-economic issues, Japan and China remain important partners for Korean’s materials, parts and equipment companies. Therefore, the government needs to take this situation into account and actively engage in diplomatic efforts for a win-win approach with China and Japan.\nHowever, CJK represent one of the most sensitive regions to non-economic shocks such as natural disasters and disputes between the United States and China. Therefore, it is necessary to shift from the existing cost- and efficiency-based global value chains (GVC) management to a rational GVC management based on supply chain stabilization.\nAs the trend of strategic weaponization is expected to continue gaining strength in the core materials, parts and equipment industries, it is necessary to move away from monopolistic supply chains and pursue a strategy for multi-polarization of the supply chain, and reasonable decoupling from countries where potential risks exist.\nIn addition, domestic self-reliance should be promoted in fields with high foreign dependence, such as the semiconductor display equipment industry. Also, most companies in the materials, parts and equipment industries are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) greatly lacking in terms of technology development and market dominance, meaning that measures are urgently needed to address this concern.\nFinally, considering the pace of development in China’s materials, parts and equipment industries over the past 20 years, the gap in competitiveness of the materials, parts and equipment industries in CJK will be greatly reduced, and the GVCs of China-centered materials, parts and equipment industries are expected to show significant advances. It will be necessary to prepare countermeasures by the government and companies accordingly.\nThe materials, parts and equipment industries in Korea should transition from general-purpose technology to more specialized and advanced technology. Towards this, the policy proposals in this report, based on an analysis of competitiveness and corporate satisfaction with government policies, merit careful consideration.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The thermal conductivity of this material is relatively low, which blocks the contact with the air, so that the temperature inside the bag can gather in the bag and can not be directly dispersed. In this way, the time of temperature loss in the bag is prolonged, and the purpose of thermal insulation is achieved. Generally speaking, the thermal insulation bag material has poor thermal conductivity and slow heat dissipation.\nInsulation package features:\n1. Heat and cold insulation\nHeat and cold insulation is the basic function of thermal insulation bag. It is a special bag with short-term thermal insulation effect. It can keep cold / heat. The product insulation layer is pearl cotton + aluminum foil tin paper, which can provide good thermal insulation effect.\nTo have superior impact resistance, it is not easy to break and leave scratches when pressed or impacted.\nThis is the first consideration in choosing insulation package. Although different products have different sealing methods, sealing is a necessary condition for the lasting preservation of stored food.\nThe international sealing measurement standard is evaluated by moisture permeability test. The moisture permeability of high-quality insulation package is 200 times lower than that of similar products, which can keep things fresh for a longer time.\nPrecautions for insulation tape:\n1. Open flame contact or sharp tool cutting is disabled.\n2. Avoid long-term exposure to rain, humidity and sunlight, which will affect the thermal insulation effect.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This blog presents a case example of the use of construction data in forecasting developments in the construction equipment rental market.\nMany studies have been conducted in Finland on the use and rental markets of construction equipment in the 2010’s. Methods and systematics for predicting the demand for them have been developed. The work began with extensive research. All important parties involved in equipment rental took part: construction equipment renters, sellers and importers as well as large construction companies. This was necessary since it was essential to get data on the kinds of equipment used on different types of sites, their number and hours of use, and timing of use during a building project, and operating costs.\nIt is often also necessary to know the client’s other markets besides construction. For instance, rental equipment are well suited for industrial maintenance, which is why industry rents a lot of construction equipment. Purchasing own equipment would not be sensible since the utilisation rate is often low. Renters provide modern equipment just right for the purpose that meet the ever-increasing legal requirements.\nThe Nordic equipment rental business has been in a very interesting situation recently. Corporate acquisitions tell about the attractiveness of the industry. French Loxam acquired Finnish international rental company Ramirent and Belgian Boels Rental has launched a bid to acquire the other big Finnish rental company Cramo. Both Ramirent and Cramo are operating in the Nordic market and other foreign countries. High volume, strong growth and positive prospects of the rental services have also interested investors. Accurate knowledge of market developments creates confidence for investors.\nConstruction equipment rental market is more than EUR 3.6 bn in the Nordic countries\nRenting of construction equipment is one step on the way towards a circular, sharing economy. Renting of equipment improves resource efficiency, construction work safety, and productivity. The environmental impacts of construction can also be ameliorated with constantly renewed equipment that is used effectively and efficiently.\nThe rental market has been growing strongly for many years. Growth has focused primarily on new building construction in recent years. Rental market looks favorable in coming years, even though the construction market is already turning into a slight downward trend next years.\nThe strong growth of rental volume in construction machinery and equipment will level off. Rental will grow a bit in 2020 in Nordic countries mainly due renovation and civil engineering. Rental business will grow, although construction is expected to decrease slightly. The sharp decline in construction of block of flats will not turn the whole rental business growth negative. The share of equipment that has been used in the block of flats construction is only 15 per cent in the current rental market.\nNon-residential construction is the most important sector for machinery, and it is becoming the engine of construction equipment rental market. Rental is growing strongly in commercial, office and healthcare building construction. Non-residential construction uses much more construction machinery and equipment than residential construction.\nThe penetration rate for construction equipment rental in Sweden is high and probably the highest across Europe. Penetration shows the share of usage of rental equipment of the total equipment use in building construction. Rental penetration is expected to continue to grow. High utilization of construction capacity and the shortage of labor is increasing demand for construction equipment.\nEven if the majority (2/3) of machinery and equipment rental serves construction business, the use of other industries is large. The remainder is rented to other branches such as industry, service producers, public administration and private persons for maintenance, installation etc. Service industries have increased the use of rental equipment. Especially in Sweden the other use is very important, namely due to specialized industries, such as mining.\nConstruction equipment rental growth will continue in renovation sector. Growth is accelerated due to replacement of human labor with construction machinery, higher quality requirements and challenging working conditions. Renovation focuses on professional renovation sector, which contributes to equipment rental growth.\nConstruction equipment rental has the potential to grow in the future, not only in the Nordic countries, where penetration is already high, but also elsewhere in Europe. The European construction equipment rental market is currently highly fragmented and there are lot of construction equipment rental companies. The trend where large companies acquire small ones is likely to continue and the industry will attract interest of capital investors.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

On this tenth anniversary, a new version of Eichi II is released, this time in an 18k rose gold version.\nEichi is the Japanese word for “widsom” and reflects the fusion of traditional Japanese watchmaking skills with the highest and most advanced Spring Drive technology. Eichi II is made by the elite watchmakers at the Micro Artist Studio in Shiojiri in central Japan. This studio, founded in the year 2000, garnered a worldwide reputation for creating masterpieces like the Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie in 2006, the Credor Spring Drive Minute Repeater in 2011, the Credor Spring Drive Eichi II in 2014, and the Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8 Day Power Reserve in 2016.\nThe Spring Drive technology is a remarkable piece of work. It offers a precision of one second a day. The Torque Return System is a propriety mechanism that maximizes the advantages of the Spring Drive movement’s high torque. On regular watches, after the mainspring has been fully wound, the torque that is stored is, of course, at its highest. Releasing that torque to the mechanism may be too much for the movement to handle. So a good percentage of that power is “let go”. That much power is “thrown away” to make sure that the movement is not damaged.\nSeiko’s patented Torque Return System is ingeniously built in such a way that the “excess energy” is used to rewind the mainspring. This results in a 25% increase in the power reserve. Because of this system, the watch now has a 60-hour power reserve, enough stored power to last through an entire weekend.\nThe rose gold case of the Credor Spring Drive Eichi II went through a cold forging process. Hot forging involves heating metal to such high temperatures then pressing it into shape to form the watch case. Cold forging is done at room temperature, and pressed with much greater force. This process is repeated several times to create the case. And because of this, the case has a greater density, and is more resilient against scratches. The surfaces are then Zaratsu polished, which creates a mirror-like finish with practically no distortions.\nThe mechanism driving The Credor Spring Drive Eichi II 18k Rose Gold watch is the Calibre 7R14, a manual winding movement that has an accuracy of +/- 1 second per day (+/- 15 seconds per month), and a power reserve indicator.\nThis watch is a well-crafted timepiece, bearing the qualities that the Japanese are well known for: simple, beautiful, and technologically advanced.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It’s just a little too far for a quick ride, and I enjoy dirt riding much more than highway slogging—no offense to those who can punch out the miles.\nAMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame\nSince I was solo, I had time to linger and study bikes in the design and engineering section, followed by dirt track bikes, motocross and specialty bikes, and that was just a quarter of the place.\nIt took about three laps and five hours for me to get my fill.\nThe dirt trackers section brought back memories of seeing Kenny Roberts win the amateur race at Oklahoma City in 1971 and his kindness to this wide-eyed kid in the pits.\nEach display has a brief history and key info, which, combined with the info from the website, makes for an in-depth picture of the people and bikes that make up American motorcycle history.\nMy favorite bike was the 1968 Penton 125 Six-Day in the International Six Days Enduro display. The Penton is on loan to the museum by John Born.\nIt was fun to track how early water cooling, mono shocks, shaft drives, telescoping forks and other technical achievements came into being. Those guys in the early 1900s were amazing.\nThe International Six Days Enduro-winning team’s bikes were a great special exhibit. But every bike, brand and rider had a unique tale.\nFor history and stories, aka tradition, this is the place.\nBarber Vintage Motorsports Museum\nA quick flight to Alabama and Barber Motorsports Museum was next up.\nThis museum is huge, the biggest in the United States, with more than 1,400 bikes.\nThere’s a race track outside, and part of the museum is dedicated to Lotus cars, which is also part of Barber’s heritage.\nI challenge any true motorcyclist to walk in and not drop their jaw.\nThey have some of the rarest, weirdest bikes, along with samples of every era and genre.\nThe museum leans towards street and race bikes, but it has an incredible number of bikes from the turn of the 20th century to recent models.\nEvery bike is restored and displayed expertly. If you want to feel inadequate about your garage, this is the place. I didn’t see a drop of oil during the whole tour, even under the three-story bike tower.\nEver heard of a 1950s Zimmer? Emil Zimmerman cast the metal himself, with a rotary valve engine. How about 1920s A.B.C.—front and rear suspension, drum brakes, multi-plate clutch? Or a 1920s Scott with water cooling, oil injection and more than 50 patents?\nOf course, there are also the usual plethora of Harleys, Indians and BMWs and a sampling of many brands I never knew existed.\nThere are so many pristine examples, it’s obvious Mr. Barber loves bikes very much and a lot of time, talent and money has been invested here.\nIf you like motorcycles at all and appreciate history, technology or stories of people who made a difference in our sport, you need to see both these museums.\nIt’s a great way to induce smiles and try to get a motorcycle hangover.\nJoe Boyce is an AMA Life Member from Albuquerque, N.M.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

There’s no cord to limit movement and they’re lighter than petrol models, making them easier to carry around. They generally match the power of corded types, though are less powerful than petrol and so suit smaller jobs. They’re quiet so good if using in a busy residential area, and require little maintenance – ideal if using once or twice a year. Working from a battery, they only have a certain period of charge and so it can be worth investing in a spare battery to prevent unwelcome breaks.\nUsing an electric saw is also practical and comfortable, since the vibrations are smaller and it is less noisy. And you don’t have to worry about fumes and emissions.\nFor electric saws, consider amperages. An electric motor’s amp rating describes how much power it can handle before internals may start to break down. Saws with a 14-amp rating are more than suitable for most home uses. The battery’s ampere hour (Ah) or amp rating goes hand-in-hand with its voltage. This measures the electric charge and dictates the capacity of the battery supplied. The higher the capacity, the longer the battery will run for.\nA 14- to 18-inch-long bar saw is an excellent meet-in-the-middle size that can handle most DIY-type jobs. They can fell small trees, buck large branches, and cut firewood without much issue. These bars also are easy to find if they need to be replaced.\nCorded electric saws and battery-powered saws are often the lightest chainsaws on the market. They don’t require a full tank of fuel mix, and their motors are smaller, so they are lighter weight and easier to use in a variety of scenarios.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Please take this warning seriously.\nHand cranking a Model A can be fairly simple to do if you know how. It was there for more reasons than timing the engine. Keep in mind that if the engine is prone to backfire you might not want to hand crank.\n- Make sure the emergency brake is engaged. The Transmission must be in neutral. The ignition should be turned OFF.\n- Fully retard the spark by moving the spark advance lever to the top position.\n- The throttle should be set to just above a normal idle.\n- Set the fuel mixture as normal for starting.\n- Place the hand crank in position. It should be facing at about the 9 o’clock position. Hold the hand crank from standing from the driver’s side of the car with an overhand (fingers on top, thumb under) grasp.\n- Pull the hand crank towards you quickly. Do not push the crank down or try to keep cranking continuously. It should be a yank from about 9 o’clock to about 1 o’clock. You may need to repeat 2-3 times before starting.\n- Turn the ignition on. Do not set the choke closed when starting or you may experience a dangerous kickback.\n- Again set the hand crank in position at 9 o’clock.

When combined with water and aggregate, powdered Portland cement hardens by hydration. The concrete is poured semi-liquid, laid, and then compacted to solidify. Concrete floor sealing is important to maintain the floor. Concrete is the most-used man-made substance.\nConcrete Floor Sealing: The Curing Process\nAfter 28 days, you will need to seal the concrete. New concrete is alkaline and will harm the sealant. Concrete cures via hydration and shouldn’t be sealed with more than 4 to 5% moisture. Wet concrete sealer fails.\nConcrete Floor Sealing: Why Seal Concrete?\nNatural concrete floors need sealing to prevent:\n- Sealing minimises concrete porosity and discoloration from, for example, engine oil\n- Sealing protects against acids and alkalis.\n- Sealing increases the concrete’s appearance.\n- Sealing avoids surface wear and dusting.\n- Sealing increases abrasion resistance and surface protection.\nRecommended Concrete Floor Sealing Products\nPre-sealer Floor Cleaning\nSurface filth, contamination, red soil stains, and laitance may all be removed from concrete with acid-based cleaners such as Stoneshield Brick and Masonry Cleaner.\nAcid-based cleansers may remove surface filth, pollution, red soil stains, and laitance from concrete. Surface etching is crucial for adherence. Sealer failure results from improper etching. Etch concrete using an inhibited acid that prevents metal rust such as Stoneshield Brick and Masonry Cleaner™\nConcrete must be fully dry, with 4-5 percent moisture and a 80-grit sandpaper-like finish before proceeding with sealing.\nStoneshield Premium Plus™\nThe Stoneshield Premium Plus™ is a twin pack, premium non-yellowing solvent-based urethane sealer that delivers high gloss, superior stain resistance, anti-dusting, and maximum stain and surface protection. Penetrating sealer that intensifies colour with a ‘wet look’ finish. Limited to indoor use.\n- Natural and oxided cement screeds and floors\n- Impression paving\n- Industrial and oxided concrete\n- Oxided cement screeds\n- Best for high-traffic industrial and commercial concrete flooring, including garages and warehouses\n- Commercial and household concrete floors that require high surface protection and stain resistance\nStoneshield Cement-Sealer™ is a non-yellowing solvent-based resin sealant with a satin finish, improved stain resistance, and surface protection. Penetrating sealer that intensifies colour with a ‘wet look’ finish. Suitable for indoor and outdoor purposes.\n- Natural and oxided cement flooring\n- Impression paving\n- Cement tiles\n- Pavers and cobbles\n- Low-traffic and domestic concrete floors\nThe Stoneshield Wall-Cladding-Sealer™ is a premium grade, natural appearance, solvent-based penetrating water repellent that protects against rain, moisture, airborne filth, pollution, mould, and mildew. Transmits water vapour. The sealer is suitable for both Interior and exterior usage.\n- Cement bricks and blocks\n- Fibre cement\n- Artificial stone\nLimitations: To ensure that the best results are achieved when using this sealant, take note of the following limitations and precautions:\n- Do not apply to wet floors or surfaces.\n- Wash the floor surface, and wait 24 hours before sealing.\n- Consult the product label for drying timeframes.\n- Do not moisten sealed flooring for 24 hours.\n- Depending on the sealer, allow 4-8 hours before foot traffic.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

These pipelines are typically small diameter polyethylene pipes that are either buried about 12 inches below ground or placed above ground along fencelines.\n- Pasture pipelines are only used in the summer and ought to be drained or blown out with an air compressor in the fall. When using above ground lines, strategic breaks in the lines connected with quick couplers, allow the operator to use gravity when draining the lines in the fall.\n- Pasture pipelines have the distinct advantage of being able to deliver water to strategic sites on the pasture ensuring that little manure is transferred from the place that the plants were grazed.\n- Pipelines are a cost effective alternative when pressure systems already exist. Typically a pipeline is hooked into an existing stock waterer and the water is transferred to the outer reaches of a pasture.\n- When providing water in paddocks of 20 acres or less, animals tend not to herd to water. Rather, animals come to drink individually, as they are thirsty. This reduces congestion around the water tank, eliminates trailing and allows for a smaller watering system as compared to where animals need to travel to water.\n- By using lightweight tanks, operators can move the tanks to fresh paddocks with the animals. By changing the location of the tanks, the pasture around the tanks can grow back without permanent damage to the stand.\n- Aluminum quick couplers and ball valves work well in connecting sections of pipeline within a pasture layout. Always make connections so that the male ends flow water into the female ends to help keep the lines organized. Always use the same manufacturer's fittings to make maintenance and modifications easier.\n- Consider the number of livestock and the expected peak water consumption per animal when designing your pipeline system.\n- To fulfill water requirements the system must either be able to store water for peak use times in a large enough water tank or provide enough flow into the tank when the animals are drinking.\n- Pump and well capacity, distance to the farthest watering point, vertical lift from the pressure tank to the watering point, operating pressure at the pressure tank, and friction loss in the pipeline and float valve will all affect the capacity to deliver water during the peak times.\n- Be sure to consider future expansion of the water system for more cattle or longer pipelines when planning the initial layout.\n- Surface pipelines are prone to damage by livestock, rodents and equipment crossing.\nPasture Pipeline Design\nPipelines for Watering Range Livestock - available in PDF format only", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Depending on the type of drone, their speed can vary drastically.\nSo how fast can drones fly? Read more as we’ll get into the specifics of this matter in today’s article.\nWhat Is The Average Speed Of UAVs\nProfessional racing drones are capable of reaching top speeds near 100 mph, while more commercial or industrial drones often hover around 25-35 mph. On the other hand, the average speed of a consumer drone is dependent on its model and design, but typically they can fly anywhere between 40 and 60 kilometers per hour (kph). Generally speaking, high-performance drones – such as those designed for use in racing or aerial photography – tend to be faster than the average drone.\nThe maximum speed limit for many commercial drones is 40-70kph, but most long-range drones are capable of flying far faster than this. For example, the Barrage Drone from Skydio can reach speeds of up to 98kph.\nFor reference, a helicopter typically has a top speed of around 150kph. However, consumer drones are not designed for high-speed flight and will usually have shorter battery lives when travelling at higher speeds.\nHowever, the speed of UAVs depend on many factors. The main factor that affects a drone’s flight speed is the type of motor used. Racing drones typically use brushless electric motors, while commercial and industrial drones typically use slower brushed motors.\nThe speed of a drone also depends on external factors such as wind speed and the drone’s payload. A higher payload makes the drone heavier, resulting in lower average speeds, while wind resistance can also reduce the flight speed of a drone. In addition, some drones have features that allow them to fly at different speeds based on user preference.\nAdditionally, certain environmental factors like wind speed can affect a drone’s flight speed. High winds can greatly reduce the speed of a drone, making them much less maneuverable and potentially dangerous to fly in those conditions.\nIt is also important to note that some countries have laws in place to restrict the speed of drones. This is generally done for safety reasons, so it’s important to be aware of the applicable regulations before flying a drone. Understanding the speed limitations of a drone is key to ensuring that you are operating within safe parameters.\nUltimately, the maximum speed of a drone depends largely on its design and purpose. Racing drones can fly incredibly fast and maneuver quickly, while more commercial or industrial drones are designed for slower speeds and greater stability. Operating a drone outside of its designed parameters can result in injury or property damage, so it is important to understand the speed limitations of the particular drone you are using. With proper understanding and consideration of these factors, you can safely enjoy your flying experience.\nCan You Customize Your Drone So It Can Fly Faster\nWhen it comes to customization of drones, there is a wide range of modifications that can be made to make them fly faster. The most impactful changes typically come in the form of increasing the power and capacity of propulsion systems, reducing weight, and adjusting the design of the drone body.\nFirst off, you can increase the power and capacity of the propulsion system. By increasing the power, you can make your drone fly faster and more efficiently. You can do this by adding a larger motor or using a better quality motor with higher torque output and efficiency. Additionally, optimizing propellers for speed will help increase the top speed of your drone.\nThe second way to make your drone fly faster is to reduce its weight. Reducing the overall weight of your drone can help make it more responsive and agile in the air, allowing it to reach higher speeds. Things like reducing the size of motors, using lighter materials for structure, and limiting extra components are good ways to start reducing your drone’s weight.\nCan Drones Fly Faster Than Commercial Airplanes\nThe answer is yes, with some limitations. A traditional commercial airplane is limited by its weight and size, while drones are much smaller and lighter. This gives them a distinct advantage in speed as they do not have to carry the same amount of cargo or passengers that an airplane would. Additionally, modern drone technology offers superior capabilities when it comes to maneuverability and lift-off due to their small size, allowing them to reach speeds much faster than traditional aircraft.\nIn conclusion, drones come in a variety of types and sizes and each one has its own speed capabilities. Racing drones are designed for extreme speeds, while commercial and industrial drones typically fly at slower speeds for greater stability. Understanding the speed limitations of a particular drone is key to ensuring a safe and enjoyable flying experience. With proper consideration of these factors, you can enjoy your flight experience without any risk of injury or property damage.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This 36-inch propane gas built-in grill features three 25,000 BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners that push an impressive total of 75,000 BTUs of cooking power. Each burner features a heat shield that directs heat upwards, maximizing grilling efficiency. DCS grills offer Ceramic Radiant Technology, which is a layer of ceramic rods placed between the burners and cooking grate. The rods provide intense, yet even heat, ensuring the temperature is consistent across the entire grilling surface. This innovative feature allows you to sear meat to perfection anywhere on the cooking grid. This grill boasts an 630 square inch main cooking surface with durable, double-sided cast stainless steel cooking grids. One side has a gentle curve which supports and handles fish and vegetables. The other side of the grates accommodates steaks and other cuts of meat, capturing grease while creating perfect sear lines. Large food items can comfortably fit on the grill, thanks to a hood designed with extra space and a full 90 degrees of movement. DCS Series 9 grills feature a wider range of cooking temperatures with valves that can be turned down to as low as 300 degrees at the grilling surface. The patented Grease Management system effectively channels grease and oil away from the flame while grilling, which greatly reduces flare-ups. The 14,000 BTU infrared rear burner functions perfectly for slow-roasting, and the included rotisserie kit can accommodate up to 50 lbs! The rotisserie is not in use, the spit rod can conveniently be stored under the drip pan handle. The charcoal smoker tray includes its own cooking grate and can easily be placed over one of the burners. Simply remove one of the cast stainless steel cooking grids and ceramic rod trays, then place the charcoal smoker box over the burner. Either grill directly over it, or fill it with wood chunks to add more smoke to everything on your grill. This grill has a multi-level warming area with 2 warming racks and a broiling pan that can be rearranged to suit your needs. This gives you 534 square inches of additional versatile cooking area. The push and turn hot surface ignition operates with the ease of an indoor range, while intuitive lighting from a 40-watt halogen Smart Beam BBQ grill light, as well as the two hood lights, add visibility while you grill. LED lights in the knob bezels glow white when the grill is on, and orange when that specific burner is in use. The temperature gauge allows you to control cooking temperatures. Every DCS grill is handcrafted and constructed entirely of heavy gauge, type 304 stainless steel.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Opened in 1948, after a fire destroyed much of what was then the Blanche Male and Female Academy, the school’s infrastructure is failing, even though the building gets the greatest amount of attention when it comes to maintenance compared to other Lincoln County schools, at least from the standpoint of square footage.\nAt 50,572 square feet, the school claims more than 13 percent of all the maintenance time and dollars spent by the department. That compares to Ninth Grade Academy, almost twice its size and responsible for 16.5 percent, and Lincoln County High School, nearly four times larger, at 19.6 percent.\nFollowing last week’s County Budget Committee meeting, The Times asked for a tour of the building. That tour, led by Ricky Bryant, supervisor of facilities and maintenance for the county school system, and Christy Wright, principal, was Thursday.\nThe most looming need is a new roof over a large wing of the building, said Bryant, noting that while its current roof is metal, it has less than a two-percent grade and consistently leaks. Estimates put the cost of replacement with a pitched roof at $5 million.\nExcept for the entryway, which has been redone over the years, much of the brick and mortar forming the exterior of the building have become very porous with age. On the opposing sides of those walls, where concrete blocks were laid in place by prisoner labor all those decades ago, water seeps through. Sealants work for a month or so, Bryant said, but then the problem returns.\nHVAC systems serving the building include a mismatched variety, from split units and compact wall units at the front of the building, to a basement boiler and other units on the backside. Among them is a new 25-ton HVAC unit just recently installed as well as a unit for which parts are no longer produced, resulting in department personnel having to make them by hand. Window units cool the cafeteria.\nOnce served by a well, the school still houses many of the 11 lines that run from the well to various parts of the building. Though the lines have been capped off, locating the pipes and valves and resolving backflow issues has been almost like solving an impossible puzzle.\nAnother waterline, which goes to the kitchen, is leaking currently, but digging it up without time to make needed repairs could result in closing the kitchen and, consequently, the school, for a few days, so the department is waiting until fall break to make those repairs. Still, the issues are another symptom of the building’s failing infrastructure.\nOverall, plumbing work at the school is responsible for about half of the dollars spent on like problems system-wide, said Bryant.\nAnother somewhat related issue is traffic and parking, said Wright, noting that traffic frequently backs up down the Ardmore Highway, and while deputies regularly help the situation, accidents have occurred due to the congestion. Parking is also very limited, and often visitors park along the highway.\nTo accommodate more vehicles, car riders are routed to the back of the building along a gravel drive – a drive that won’t ever be paved, because of the sheer fact that every single year, the roadway is dug up to repair some type of leak.\nSandwiched between the highway and football field, which backs up to the cemetery, the school is somewhat landlocked. Even if additional property could be acquired, it wouldn’t accommodate the sewer fields that would be needed. Existing sewer fields occupy space that one might think could be used for parking, but that isn’t feasible either as the earth would sink under the weight of the vehicles.\nThe gym, however, remains a source of pride. “It is a beautiful gym and a testament to how well the school has been kept up, in my opinion, and that goes back to way before my time,” said Bryant. “We’ve just refinished the floors, but it’s the last time that can be done.”\nStill, Wright notes, the gym has no storage, no offices for coaches, and little room for teams to sit courtside.\n“We’ve got some folks who think that we haven’t done a good job keeping this building up — we’ve got some commissioners who think that,” said Bryant. “It would be difficult to find a 1948 gym, let alone one that still functions, but then to have one that looks this good is a testament to the administration and the parents.”\nEmergency sewer patches, old electric panels in some areas, condensation issues, broken seals in all the doors at the back of the building, a single bathroom that serves all the school’s teachers, student bathrooms accessed through mechanical closets, the lack of a sprinkler system under a partially wooden roof, non-regulation size and oddly shaped classrooms without space for storage or closets, classrooms open to each other, and a teachers’ lounge unable to be equipped with running water and stifled by an inadequate cooling system are among other obstacles throughout the school.\nA cramped library, the smallest of any in the system, serves the school’s 360 students, even though it doesn’t have adequate space to shelve all its books. Still, somehow it manages, even incorporating into its space a small area for class. For the student count, the library should be twice its size. A similar scenario is true for the cafeteria.\n“To me, it isn’t about how well this building has been kept up, but rather, it’s more about how old the building is and that it’s simply taken a lot of wear,” said Bryant. “Every day we have to make decisions about whether to spend money fixing it, especially if there’s going to be a new school.”\n“We want everyone to know we’ve done the best we could with what we have, but frankly, these kids deserve better,” said Wright, commending the job administration and maintenance staff do. “We’re all willing to work through these issues, especially if we know a new school is coming.”", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The General was in co-operation agreements with both parties back then.\nThe following year, around the time GM sold off its remaining stake in Suzuki, Maruti engineers took advantage of a sub-1200 cc tax break by shortening the Opel four-cylinder’s stroke by 2.7 millimetres to bring it down to 1197 cc.\nThey also did a few other things – like shorter piston skirts and nutless connecting rods to make them lighter, resin coating and low-tension rings to reduce friction, rocker-less camshafts, a plastic intake manifold, an offset crankshaft that turns more easily, distributorless ignition, a high pressure fuel system with advanced injectors for better atomisation and a longer-lasting silent timing chain to reduce noise.\nThen they trimmed operating costs by switching to higher grade oil so you can skip the traditional first lubricant change at 1 000 kilometres, long life spark plugs that only need changing at 40 000 km intervals and a revised tappet design that stretches the distance between adjustments.\nWhat this means is a zippy little engine with decent low-rev pulling power, very adequate performance and affordable maintenance. Liveable space for four grown-ups or an occasional fifth (only two rear head restraints and a fully manual lap belt for the central passenger), good all ‘round view outward (marred slightly by wide rear pillars) and a tight, 9.4-metre turning circle for zip-in-and-out parking, make this an excellent little city car that holds its own on freeways too.\nA bonus is that having been built in India, home to roads rather like ours, it has suspension that can cope and enough ground clearance (170 mm) to deal with most humps, holes and awkward driveways.\nThe boot loads at upper thigh level, is not too deep at 21 centimetres, and is neatly rectangular. There are no lights, lashing rings or power sockets but a pair of bag hooks provides some assistance. A fully sized spare is in the usual place under the floor board. It’s steel to match the original road wheels, but alloys are available optionally. So are reverse parking beepers, a wide range of accessories, or a rain sensor to give your wipers that modern touch.\nStorage space for those seated in the back is limited to magazine pockets, but folks in front fare better. There’s a selection of open trays, an open glove compartment, a bigger one with lid, a dash-top lidded tray and narrow bins on both doors. The driver might feel a bit cheated at first because the steering wheel does elevation only and his or her chair offers just legroom and recline adjustments. No problem: Our 6’1” tester found more than a fist’s-width of air between scalp and hood lining, so most users should fit.\nOther pointers to this being no common car are its tall and wedge-shaped appearance, its stylish rear end, the short lever for the five-speed manual gearbox mounted bus-style, on a tower, the big white speedometer, small and separate rev counter on top of the dash and unevenly spaced control pedals. Accelerator and brake are close together for quick switching but the clutch is offset a little further left than usual, although there’s still enough space for one’s left foot to find the floor.\nBecause the test car had upper-spec GL trim, it featured nice things like front fog lamps; electric windows and mirrors; a stash tray under the front passenger’s chair; the previously mentioned tachometer; rear window wiper, washer and defogger; a radio and CD player with remote buttons on the wheel; keyless entry and central locking. There are also a few extra trim items and warning lamps. Automatic transmission is available on this level only.\nEven the basic GA version gives you a pair of airbags, ABS brakes, filtered manual air conditioner, childproof locks, digital clock, a trip computer and electrically assisted steering.\nAlthough the Suzuki Splash might seem a little quirky in some ways, it’s practical, fun, does its job well and should be economical to run and maintain.\nTest unit from Suzuki Auto SA press fleet.\nThe cheat sheet\nPrice: R137 400\nEngine: 1197 cc, DOHC, 16-valve four-cylinder\nPower: 63 kW at 6000 rpm\nTorque: 113 Nm at 4500 rpm\nZero to 100 km/h: 12.3 seconds\nMaximum speed: 160 km/h\nReal life fuel consumption: About 6.0 l/100 km\nTank: 43 litres\nLuggage: 236 – 462 litres\nWarranty: 3 years/100 000 km; with roadside assistance\nService plan: 2 years/30 000 km; at 15 000 km intervals\nText: Gordon Hall", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Managed to somehow chew through one of the sprockets? We can supply just that one, and you can easily replace it, without throwing away a handful of perfectly usable sprockets in the process.\nThe other thing this system offers is flexibility - been working hard over the winter and need a different range? Swap out the sprockets you won't use for some that you will! Normally a bit of a TT specialist but been convinced to try some climbing? Add in a couple of big sprockets in place of some of the little ones, again without wasting a whole cassette, nor splashing out for one you may not keep for very long.\nWe have both Shimano/SRAM- and Campag-splined sprockets, along with a range of spacers to suit. For the moment, we can provide up to 10-speed cassettes, but hope to source some 11-speed spacers soon to enable us to offer cassettes for a much wider range of groupsets.\nSadly, it looks like Marchisio Engineering are no longer in business, so there will be no more of these made.

Let’s explore the key milestones in the evolution of slot machines.\n1. The Birth of the Slot Machine:\n- The journey begins in the late 19th century with Charles Fey, a San Francisco mechanic. In 1887, Fey created the first-ever slot machine, known as the “Liberty Bell.” Featuring three spinning reels and five symbols – horseshoes, diamonds, spades, hearts, and the Liberty Bell – this mechanical marvel marked the inception of the slot machine era.\n2. Early Innovations:\n- In the early 20th century, as slot machines gained popularity, various improvements and innovations were introduced. The introduction of fruit symbols, including the iconic cherry and melon, aimed to sidestep anti-gambling laws by presenting the machines as vending machines that dispensed gum or candy.\n3. Electromechanical Era:\n- The 1960s witnessed a significant leap with the advent of electromechanical slot machines. These machines featured electrical components alongside mechanical elements, allowing for more sophisticated gameplay and the introduction of new features, such as the ability to offer multiple payouts.\n4. The Digital Revolution:\n- The late 20th century marked the transition from mechanical and electromechanical slots to fully electronic versions. The use of random number generators (RNGs) replaced physical reels, making the outcomes truly random. Video slots emerged, incorporating advanced graphics and themes, offering players a more engaging experience.\n5. Online Slots Take Center Stage:\n- The 1990s saw the dawn of the internet age, paving the way for online casinos. Online slots, digital versions of their land-based counterparts, became increasingly popular. Players could now enjoy their favorite slots from the comfort of their homes, with a vast array of themes and features.\n6. Advancements in Technology:\n- The 21st century brought about rapid technological advancements, influencing the slot landscape. Mobile gaming became a dominant force, allowing players to spin the reels on smartphones and tablets. Graphics, animations, and sound effects reached new heights, creating a more immersive gaming experience.\n7. Introduction of 3D and VR Slots:\n- Recent years have seen the rise of 3D slots and virtual reality (VR) technology. These innovations add an extra layer of realism and interactivity to the gaming experience, allowing players to feel as if they are inside the game itself.\n8. Integration of Skill-Based Elements:\n- Some modern slots incorporate skill-based elements, where players’ decisions and abilities can influence the outcome. This shift caters to a new generation of players who seek a more interactive and skill-dependent form of entertainment.\nFrom the clunky mechanics of the Liberty Bell to the sophisticated technology powering online and VR slots, the history of slot machines is a testament to continuous innovation and adaptation. As technology continues to advance, one can only imagine the exciting developments that lie ahead for the ever-evolving world of slot gaming.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

You can therefore tailor the tiller either for working larger areas (such as when preparing land for seeding) or for greater precision when working between narrowly planted rows of crops, thus ensuring superb results every time.\n• A 50cm rotary tiller attachment designed for use with Bertolini’s 401 and 403 two-wheeled tractor units\n• Rotary tiller array features sixteen blades for effective tilling of all kinds of soil and can be adjusted for a working width of either 50cm or 35cm\n• Set includes rotary tiller, adjustable cowling and QuickFit coupling system and is compatible with Bertolini’s 401 and 403 two-wheeled tractors\nAbout BertoliniBertolini was founded in 1953, at first producing pumps for the agricultural industry, and a year later expanded their range to include a mower, the Bertolini BFR 54. With their reputation for quality firmly established Bertolini went on to produce a range of cultivators and tillers that became the standard tool for the market gardeners and vineyard owners of the Mediterranean hillsides, favoured due to their outstanding durability in the hot and dusty conditions. Bertolini wheel tractor units gained a reputation as flexible and easy to use on rough terrain.\nThese cultivators became indispensable tools. It wasn't long before customers were asking for bespoke machinery to suit their particular horticultural needs, a demand that Bertolini were happy to answer until it became economically impossible to continue as manufacturing costs began to soar. More recently, the Emak Group acquired the Bertolini brand and since November 2008 awareness of the large range of tillers, cultivators, scythe cutter bar mowers, flail mowers and transporters has increased dramatically with the demand for their two-wheeled tractor units growing at-a-pace. The range of products available in the U.K. is still slightly limited, but with a rapid increase of interest in their excellent equipment, the Bertolini range of horticultural machinery is here to stay.\nSo why buy from Lawnmowers Direct?\nWell firstly, we're pretty good at what we do.

Over the years, it developed multiple leaks, which damaged parts of the roof’s structure. The roof was beyond the patching or recoating stage, the insulation was compromised in spots, and long-term exposure to water resulted in some damage to the roof deck. Liberty wanted a new top-quality roof system with an affordable price tag.\nBecause Liberty’s facility houses business tenants, the company wanted an energy efficient roof that would reduce the costs of heating and cooling the building, while giving the tenants a comfortable work environment. During a detailed inspection, North American Roofing determined the need for partial deck replacement in areas where the metal roof deck had rusted through. Areas with only surface rust were singled out for rust remediation. The entire built-up roof system was to be torn off and replaced with high R-Value insulation, followed by the installation of a cool roof.\nFor the Liberty facility, North American Roofing recommended the RhinoBond mechanical attachment system. After attaching the roof’s insulation layer with specially coated plates, the membrane was installed. A special RhinoBond induction-welding tool was positioned on top of the membrane where it electromagnetically seals the underside of the membrane to the coated plates. The RhinoBond fastening system features a grid pattern which eliminates mechanical fastening in the seams and distributes wind uplift resistance load over a larger area of the roof. The denser the grid pattern, the greater the wind resistance factor.\nTear off commenced January 23, 2012. North American Roofing made provisions for Liberty’s business tenants to continue their day to day operations during the project. The entire built-up roof was removed and disposed of. All metal copings, roof edges, and guttering were removed. The damaged parts of the metal decking were replaced with new decking. On other areas, superficial rust was removed and the metal was treated with rust inhibitor.\nAfter securing the deck, North American Roofing installed 3.2-inch isocyanurate (ISO) foam board insulation with RhinoBond plates to meet FM 1-90 wind uplift specifications. A 60-mil PVC membrane, manufactured by Sika Sarnafil, was installed over the ISO, using the RhinoBond heat-welding tool to seal the membrane. New metal copings, roof edges, and new gutters were installed.\nDuring the entire project, which was completed under schedule in less than 60 days, tenant and worker safety was ensured through strict adherence to OSHA regulations.\nLiberty received a new cool roof with white reflectivity, beefed-up insulation for optimal energy efficiency, and a 20-year warranty. Roofing specialist Mary Leiter reinforced North American Roofing’s commitment to the use of cutting-edge technology to offer its customers the best roofing system for their investment dollar. “We’re extremely confident in the RhinoBond system,” Leiter said. “It offers a superior mechanical attachment system at an affordable cost. A true win-win for all parties involved in the project.”\nThe roof of the Skokie Fashion Mall was in bad shape. Leaks were becoming more and more numerous, and for a retail outlet this isn’t acceptable for very long. An inspection of the roof showed that water was penetrating the membrane and had completely soaked the insulation.\nThe existing assembly was an R-Panel roof with spray foam insulation on the underside of the deck. The customer wanted R-Value but did not want it on the underside of the deck because of the environment inside. The process of forging metal had deteriorated the insulation as well as the metal R-Panel decking.\nThe existing EPDM roof on this facility had deteriorated beyond repair, and the budget wouldn’t allow for a total roof replacement. With that in mind, North American Roofing recommended installing a new TPO assembly over the existing EPDM. Not only would the roof leaks stop, but the switch from black EPDM to white TPO would provide significant energy savings over the lifecycle of the new roof.\nMitsubishi Heavy Industries knew the roof system on their facility in Franklin, Indiana was in bad shape. When it was determined that the 118,759-square-foot roof needed to be replaced, North American Roofing knew it was important to specify and install a durable roofing system due to the heavy amount of foot traffic that was partially responsible for the roof’s premature deterioration in the first place. It was also imperative that the new roofing system be Factory Mutual approved, and white, per Mitsubishi’s requirements.\nWilson Warehouse – Baton Rouge, LA\nA 197,539 square foot warehouse in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The roof was replaced with a TPO membrane and received a “Perfect 10” inspection rating from the manufacturer.\nSterigentics was facing the typical problem facilities have when their roofs are 25 years old, leaks. A lot of the flashing around the HVAC units and skylights had deteriorated and was letting water underneath the membrane. After inspecting the existing insulation, we determined not all the insulation was damaged or wet so we were able to salvage most of it, reducing the overall cost of the project.\nAfter 20 years, the ballasted EPDM roof on the HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital in Arlington, Texas was nearing the end of its useful life. Energy costs were a major concern and it was obvious the new system needed to be reflective. HealthSouth Corporation chose North American Roofing to replace the old roof, based on our reputation, our experience and our competitive price.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Wheel sets in which the wheel body is forged and rolled as a disk from steel ingot comprise an important line of production. The Bochumer Verein was the first to produce these in place of the spoke and iron disk wheels that are made by welding individual parts together. The wheel disks, which were subjected to extremely demanding stress tests, demonstrate the astonishing strength and durability of these products. For instance, the center hole of a wheel was expanded when cold from 153 mm to 231 mm by driving in tapered mandrels, without any sign of damage to the wheel. In another experiment, locomotive wheel rims were elongated by the heavy blows of a drop hammer, and the material’s robustness was brilliantly demonstrated. Small and large versions of both products – the wheel rim and the disk – have been arranged in attractive 10-meter-high towers on both sides of the central hall. One can also admire wheel sets made of cast steel or Siemens-Martin steel, ranging from the smallest wheels for narrow-gauge railways to the largest for huge high-speed locomotives. Industry professionals are particularly interested in modern spoked locomotive wheels manufactured in one piece from especially soft yet durable cast steel. [ . . . ]\nThe construction of train cars, which the Bochumer Verein began in 1896, has become an important line of production for the company. On exhibit are various open and covered freight cars, including those produced for the Shantung Railway, the Dutch Railway, and the Royal Prussian Railway. A variety of steel parts for mining equipment and other machines are also presented, including the 7,500-mm-long, 16,000 kg axle of a hoisting engine as well as a heavy crankshaft for the 1,500-HP gas-powered engine of a blast furnace.\nA cast-steel working cylinder weighing an impressive 34,000 kg and destined for a 5,000-ton forging press demonstrates the capacities of the Bochumer Verein in the manufacture of press cylinders. The Bochumer Verein has been using these presses in its own plant for several years because the traditional steam hammer can no longer meet demands arising from the size of today’s shafts and other parts. In addition, the press leads to more favorable results than the steam hammer since it makes possible a constant, even compression of steel right to its core. This is shown by the bored core of the aforementioned marine shaft.\nOf the remaining objects in the Bochumer Verein’s interesting exhibition, we would like to draw attention to a double-spoked magnetic wheel for a dynamo, a 16,500 kg, 3-meter-high cast-steel wheel with double helical teeth for a heavy rolling mill, and an 18,000 kg converter ring with a diameter of 4 meters. A 5-meter-long pipe with an inside diameter of one meter has been forged on the mandrel and partly lathed and partly left in an unfinished state to permit visitors to see the precision of the forging.\nSource: Walther Däbritz, Bochumer Verein für Bergbau und Gußstahlfabrikation in Bochum.

It is a safety feature that enhances the security of passengers in the car. VSC helps in preventing accidents on the road by stabilizing the car in emergencies and slippery road conditions. In a Lexus, VSC works to improve the car’s driving capabilities to improve safety on the road.\nWhen a Lexus driver takes a turn, VSC uses sensors to detect the steering angle, vehicle speed, and direction. If the sensors detect oversteering or understeering, VSC engages and holds the individual wheel brakes and reduces engine power output until the vehicle regains stability. VSC is effective when taking sharp turns as it prevents the car from spinning out of control. VSC works hand in hand with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control to keep the vehicle safe on the road.\nWhen driving a Lexus with VSC, the driver can switch the system on or off. However, it’s recommended to keep VSC on at all times as it improves vehicle stability and reduces the risk of an accident. Additionally, switching off the VSC system can lead to slower reaction time and longer stopping distances, which could be disastrous in an emergency where quick action is required.\nWhen a car equipped with VSC is involved in an accident, the system can store data for use during an investigation. Using this information, authorities can determine the cause of the accident and what led to the VSC failure. Fortunately, VSC rarely fails, and if it does, specialized technicians can diagnose and fix it. VSC repairs in a Lexus are typically costly, but the safety and security the system provides is worth the investment.\nIn summary, VSC is an essential component in modern-day Lexus vehicles that enhances their safety and driving capabilities. Drivers should keep the system on at all times and seek specialized technicians if they notice any malfunction. The cost of fixing VSC on Lexus varies depending on the extent and nature of the problem, but it’s necessary to invest in the system’s proper functioning for optimal safety and peace of mind.\nSigns that indicate your Lexus’ VSC system needs to be fixed\nThe VSC system is one of the most critical systems in your Lexus as it supports and maintains the stability of your vehicle while driving. It’s responsible for keeping the car stable and steady when accelerating or decelerating, especially when the road conditions are slippery or uneven. However, if your Lexus VSC system is faulty, it may end up disturbing the stability of your car, which can lead to accidents.\nAs a responsible driver, you must always be aware of the signs that indicate your Lexus VSC system needs to be fixed. This article outlines some of the most common signs that you may experience so that you can take your car to the nearest Lexus dealer for VSC system repair.\n- 1 1. Warning Light is On\n- 2 2. Unsteady Steering Wheel\n- 3 3. Slower Acceleration\n- 4 4. Unusual sounds and vibrations\n- 5 1. Common causes of VSC malfunctions\n- 6 2. Estimated cost of repairing VSC on a Lexus\n- 7 3. Should you DIY or take it to a mechanic?\n- 8 In conclusion\n- 9 1. Check Reviews Online\n- 10 2. Look for Certification\n- 11 3. Inquire About Warranty\n- 12 4. Visit the Facility\n- 13 1. Regular Maintenance\n- 14 2. Good Driving Habits\n- 15 3. Avoid Overload\n- 16 4. Quality Parts\n- 17 5. Keep The Sensors Clean\n1. Warning Light is On\nThe first and most common sign of a faulty VSC system is when the warning light illuminates on the dashboard. When you see the yellow light with a triangle etched inside and an exclamation mark flashing, it’s a warning that your VSC system is malfunctioning. You should take your car for repair immediately. You may also experience a beeping sound or a chime when the warning light illuminates.\n2. Unsteady Steering Wheel\nAnother sign of a faulty Lexus VSC system is an unsteady steering wheel. When your car’s VSC system is working correctly, you’ll notice that the steering wheel remains steady while you’re driving the car, even when the road conditions are difficult. However, if you start to notice that the steering wheel is vibrating, shaking, or feels harder to control, it’s a good indication that your VSC system needs attention. This may be caused by a malfunctioning sensor or other internal problems.\nThe steering wheel may also drift to the left or right, making it more challenging to keep the car on a straight path, especially at high speed. This can be hard for a driver, and it can lead to accidents.\n3. Slower Acceleration\nIf you notice that your Lexus has slower acceleration than usual, this may also be a sign that your VSC system is malfunctioning. The system is designed to control the engine RPM to ensure that the car accelerates smoothly and safely. However, if there is a problem with the VSC system, the car will hesitate to accelerate, and it may take longer to gain speed, which is unsafe. You may also experience a reduction in power while accelerating.\n4. Unusual sounds and vibrations\nIf you hear unusual sounds or vibrations coming from your Lexus vehicle when driving, it may be a sign that your Lexus VSC system needs attention. These unusual sounds may manifest as grinding or vibrating noises, which can intensify or fade, depending on the driving conditions. Unusual vibrations can affect the performance of your VSC system and can also be hazardous to your driving experience.\nIn conclusion, If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, you should take your Lexus to a licensed dealer or qualified mechanic immediately. If you ignore the signs, it can lead to costly repairs, expensive accident damage, or worse. A faulty VSC system can also put you and your passengers’ safety at risk, so it’s crucial to stay alert while driving your Lexus.\nCost estimates for repairing VSC on a Lexus\nIf you own a Lexus, then you may be familiar with the Vehicle Stability Control System (VSC) light that indicates a malfunction in the car’s stability control system. The VSC system is an important safety feature that helps you maintain control and stability while driving. It uses various sensors around the vehicle to determine if the car is understeering or oversteering, and then automatically applies the brakes to specific wheels to keep the car stable and on the road.\nIf you are experiencing issues with your Lexus’s VSC system, then it is important to get it checked out and repaired as soon as possible to ensure your safety while driving. However, you may be wondering how much it will cost to fix your VSC system. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the cost of repairs will vary depending on the specific issue causing the VSC malfunction.\n1. Common causes of VSC malfunctions\nBefore you can get an accurate estimate for repairing your Lexus’s VSC system, you need to know what is causing the issue. Some common causes of VSC malfunctions include:\n- Malfunctioning ABS sensor: The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and the VSC system use the same sensors to determine when to engage. If the ABS sensor is not working correctly, then it can cause the VSC system to malfunction as well.\n- Faulty steering angle sensor: The steering angle sensor determines the position of the steering wheel. If it is not functioning correctly, then the VSC system may not engage when necessary.\n- Low brake fluid: The VSC system uses the same hydraulic system as the brakes, so if your brake fluid is low, then it can cause the VSC system to malfunction.\n- Faulty VSC actuator: The VSC actuator controls the brake pressure in the individual wheels. If it is not functioning correctly, then the VSC system may not work correctly.\n2. Estimated cost of repairing VSC on a Lexus\nThe cost of repairing a VSC system on a Lexus will depend on the specific issue causing the malfunction. Some common issues and estimated costs include:\n- Abs sensor replacement: $100-$200\n- Steering angle sensor replacement: $200-$300\n- Brake fluid replacement: $50-$100\n- VSC actuator replacement: $800-$1,200\n3. Should you DIY or take it to a mechanic?\nWhile it may be tempting to save money by attempting to fix your Lexus’s VSC system yourself, it is generally not recommended. The VSC system is complex and requires specialized tools and knowledge to diagnose and repair. Attempting to fix it yourself could end up causing more harm than good and may even compromise your safety while driving.\nIt is best to take your Lexus to a trusted mechanic or dealership to get the VSC system checked out and repaired. They have the tools and expertise to properly diagnose and fix the issue, ensuring that your VSC system is working correctly and keeping you safe while driving.\nHaving a malfunctioning VSC system on your Lexus can be concerning, but it is important to address the issue as soon as possible to ensure your safety while driving. The cost of repairs will vary depending on the specific issue causing the malfunction, but it is generally best to take your vehicle to a trusted mechanic or dealership to get it checked out and repaired.\nHow to find a trustworthy mechanic for VSC repairs on your Lexus\nWhen it comes to your Lexus, you want to make sure that it is always in the best condition possible. If you start experiencing issues with the vehicle, it is important to get it checked as soon as possible, especially if it relates to the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). The VSC is a safety feature that helps prevent skidding and loss of control when driving, so it is crucial to ensure it is always functioning correctly. To find a trustworthy mechanic for VSC repairs on your Lexus, consider the following options:\n1. Check Reviews Online\nOne of the best ways to find a trustworthy mechanic for VSC repairs on your Lexus is to read online reviews. Look for reviews on independent websites like Yelp or Google, as they are less likely to manipulate reviews for their gain. Keep an eye out for reviews that mention VSC repairs explicitly and highlight the mechanic’s expertise in this area. If you have friends or family members with a Lexus, ask for their recommendations and experiences with a mechanic. Firsthand, referrals can be valuable and often provide the confidence that the choice of mechanic is reliable and trustworthy.\n2. Look for Certification\nA qualification or certification demonstrates that a mechanic has the necessary skills needed to conduct repairs on your vehicle. Look for a mechanic who has certification with Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). ASE is a professional organization that certifies technicians who have demonstrated mastery of essential automotive skills. An ASE technician is more likely to be familiar with Lexus repairs and be adept at diagnosing and fixing failures related to VSC, among other areas.\n3. Inquire About Warranty\nRepairing VSC on your Lexus can be expensive, so it’s essential to ensure that you will be covered in case of problems. Inquire with the mechanic about the warranty they offer on repairs. Reputable mechanics provide guarantees for their work. A warranty will give you the peace of mind you need, knowing that you can be compensated in case of repeat issues related to VSC.\n4. Visit the Facility\nBefore committing to a mechanic for VSC repairs, pay a visit to their facility. A facility should be orderly and reasonably clean. Dare to ask questions freely. The mechanic should be willing and able to explain the issue with your VSC and how they plan to fix it. Trustworthy mechanics exhibit a willingness to respond to customer concerns and questions transparently. Furthermore, the facility should be stocked with the right equipment and tools needed to diagnose and repair VSC related issues. If you get any bad vibes or sense that something isn’t right, it might be best to continue looking for a mechanic elsewhere.\nIn conclusion, finding a trustworthy mechanic for VSC repairs on your Lexus involves research and verification of the mechanic’s certification, reviews, warranty and visiting their facility. A reliable mechanic should be able to diagnose and repair VSC issues quickly and effectively, minimizing any potential road hazards resulting from VSC failures. Therefore, it is crucial to find a mechanic who has an excellent reputation and offers warranties on their repairs. With careful consideration, you’ll be able to find the right mechanic who’ll keep your Lexus running in top condition all year round.\nPreventative measures to keep your Lexus’ VSC system functioning properly\nIf you’re a Lexus owner, you want to make sure that your vehicle is always running smoothly, and that includes the VSC system. The vehicle stability control (VSC) system is a safety feature that helps prevent accidents by controlling wheel slip and keeping the vehicle stable during sudden changes in direction or speed. If your VSC light comes on, it could mean that there is a problem with the system, and it needs to be checked and fixed as soon as possible. Here are five preventative measures that you can take to keep your Lexus’ VSC system functioning properly.\n1. Regular Maintenance\nRegular maintenance is essential to keep your VSC system functioning properly.\nIt includes checking your brakes, tires, and alignment. If any of these are faulty, it could trigger the VSC system and cause the light to turn on. You should also make sure to keep up with your vehicle’s regular maintenance schedule, which would include oil changes, air filter changes, and other maintenance needs. Not only will it help keep the VSC system functioning properly, but it will also keep your vehicle running smoothly and prevent other issues from occurring.\n2. Good Driving Habits\nYour driving habits can also affect your VSC system. Aggressive driving, such as sudden stops, sharp turns, and high-speed maneuvers, can cause the VSC system to activate. While the system is designed to help prevent accidents, it’s important to drive responsibly and avoid sudden changes in direction or speed that could trigger the system. Just remember to always drive defensively and give yourself plenty of time to react to any situation on the road.\n3. Avoid Overload\nOverloading your vehicle can also cause issues with the VSC system. Be mindful of the weight and size of any cargo that you transport in your vehicle. Excess weight can put a strain on your tires and suspension, causing the VSC system to activate. It’s important to adhere to the vehicle’s load limits, which can be found in your owner’s manual or on the door sticker.\n4. Quality Parts\nIf you need to replace any parts of your vehicle, always go for quality parts. Low-quality parts can cause issues with your VSC system, including triggering the VSC light. Stick with genuine Lexus parts or high-quality aftermarket parts, and make sure that they are installed by a reputable mechanic.\n5. Keep The Sensors Clean\nOne of the most common causes of VSC system issues is dirty or malfunctioning sensors. The sensors are what detect changes in vehicle speed and direction and communicate with the VSC system to stabilize the vehicle. Over time, the sensors can become dirty from road grime, dust, and other contaminants. So, it’s essential to keep them clean to ensure proper functioning. You may also want to have a mechanic check the sensors during regular maintenance to ensure that they are working correctly.\nGone are the days where you get stressed when your car’s warning light goes on because of the lack of information on what that means. With this article, preventative measures are listed above for keeping your Lexus’s VSC system functioning properly. Remember that the VSC system is essential to your car’s performance, safety, and reliability, so be sure to take good care of it.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Cedarland was a pioneer in bringing vacuum kilns to this part of the world.\nThe vacuum system is superior in many ways to conventional systems which employ copious amounts of heat and steam to dry the wood. The vacuum method reduces atmospheric pressure by up to 85% allowing steam to form at relatively low temperatures. It is a self- contained system, gently extracting the water from the wood avoiding collapse and case hardening.\nThe vacuum system is efficient as it utilizes less energy than conventional kilns. It is ideal for drying large timbers as well as standard dimension and board sizes.

The left side walking stick has a hidden camera screw that make it into a monopod. The stick itself is very lightweight, so the weight of the camera it can support is low (about 5 lbs) it does a ver good job. There are rubber grips over the screw so you can use it as a standard, easy to grip walking stick. There is a large, easy to turn locking wheel that is accessible, even while wearing gloves. The screw is standard to almost any camera made (in the last 15 years at least).\nThere are even tripods that weight under 3 lbs. Designed like the walking stick, the tripods are very light weight and easy to carry. Maximum load is low, under 5 lbs is what I felt comfortable with, but story for what it is; not a 4 pound tripod! Spikes on the bottom of the feet ensure a solid grip on firm clay, ice and rocks; while there are rubber boots that you put on when you are indoors and do not want to mar the floors.\nAvailable in Red, Green and Blue; the OFFROAD gear is easy to see and use.\nRight now all OffRoad Waking Sticks include a FREE mobile phone adapter, so you can use the sticks with most cameras or mobile phones.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Titanium has unique properties both for strength, ductility and corrosion resistance especially in sea water. The market for complex components in titanium and titanium alloys is increasing and represents an interesting and promising business opportunity. NTi has two separate subsidiaries:\n• NTi Technology aims at developing and industrializing a cost effective and environmentally friendly method to produce titanium metal.\n• NTi Components are commercializing a novel, proprietory method for 'near net shape' production of complex titanium components, primarily to the aerospace and oil & gas industries.\nIn both cases we take advantage of Norwegian titanium ore resources, as well as Norwegian competence within electrolysis and material science.\nNTi Technology's Integrated Carbothermal-Electrolytic Titanium Process involves carbotermic upgrading of titanium slag feedstocks to a high-purity, titanium oxycarbide (TiOxCy) powder, which is subsequently refined, pressed and sintered into a dense, consumable electrode. The electrolytic process is dissolving the electrode and simultaneously depositing high-purity titanium metal in the electrolyte. The titanium metal is then extracted and separated from the salt.\nThe main process steps have been succesfully demonstrated and titanium powder has been produced.

There’s a good community vibe about the place, with people happy to share their ideas and experience.\nMAKE is a charity venture run by Peacock Visual Arts, with backing from Aberdeen City Council and Creative Scotland and is open to everyone in the region. It’s the city’s creative hub for personal manufacturing and shares premises with gallery space Seventeen.\nYou don’t need to be a computer genius or fully-fledged engineer to make something you’ve always wanted, as MAKE’s Iain Gildea explained, ‘People can come in with a sketch on the back of an envelope and we can help them take their ideas and realise them. It’s incredibly satisfying to make something yourself – especially when you think it’s too difficult or you don’t have the skills to get started.\n‘You can also download designs straight from the internet, then customise them or just use them as they are; it’s a good way to discover the capabilities of the equipment we have. Once people have made their first object, whether it’s a piece of jewellery or a Spiderman mask, they suddenly realise that the possibilities are exciting and almost infinite and it’s great to see people so enthused about the technology and so many ideas generated.\n‘Some members have used the laser cutter to create paper cut wedding invitations and stationery, others have produced custom wooden iPhone cases, or cut out the parts to sew into leather slippers. The laser cutter works with wood, acrylic, leather or paper and card, so just about anything is possible. Architecture students use them to build models, and some people make cosplay accessories or use the printer for gadget prototypes that make life easier. One of my own favourites was a three-storey Victorian doll’s house, which had ramps instead of stairs to each level. It’s probably the world’s most creative home for a tortoise!\nAs well as students, creative professionals and hobbyists, MAKE’s facilities also attract small businesses, oil and engineering companies keen to prototype new ideas. It’s simple to become a member, with annual subscriptions for students costing £72, normal members £144 and small businesses £432. This gives you unlimited access to the shared workspace, personal training on the equipment, and advice on design, fabrication and trade price materials.\nIf you’d rather use the lab on a one-off basis it’s £20 a session, with additional charges for machine time and materials. It’s maybe a bit early to be thinking about Christmas, but you could make some fabulous and unique gifts.\nMAKE is open on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 5pm and on Wednesdays from 1pm till 8pm. There are regular workshops on Wednesday nights and Saturday afternoons, which can be booked in advance by phone. The team hopes to add further workshops in the coming months.\nIt’s a brilliantly supportive way to learn how to use the latest personal manufacturing technologies in a welcoming and helpful environment.\nWhat will you make?

The electric mobility revolution refers to the widespread adoption and transition from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) powered by electricity, typically from batteries or other sources of clean energy.\nAmidst this change, Personal Transit Pods have become a key player. Also known as Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) systems, these pods are a type of public transportation system designed to provide on-demand, point-to-point transportation for individuals or small groups within a city or urban area. These systems are often automated and use small, lightweight vehicles or pods that can carry passengers or cargo.\nAmong its several usages PRTs are proven to be highly effective in public spaces and large open areas under controlled environments. Providing quick locomotion and easy usage transit pods have also been beneficial in law enforcement. PRT systems, can improve community engagement help in and prove a perfect alternative for traditional fuel-based vehicles used in patrolling.\nUnderstanding the pressing need for an electric based mobility vehicle for law enforcement, Cosmic Healers Private Limited (CHPL) came up with CHARIOT. A versatile companion for patrolling, CHARIOT is considered as one of the best electric pod as well as the fastest electric scooter that is exclusively designed as per the needs of the India’s patrolling needs among different security agencies.\nTo explain the versatility of CHARIOT’s let’s compare CHARIOT with world-famous Segway’s i2 SE Community Patroller. While both Chariot and Segway SE Patroller are intended for activities that require visibility and stability Chariot has an edge over Segway SE3 Patroller. Let’s have a look at how it’s different:\nWhat CHARIOT offers?\nMade In India: Chariot is indigenously manufactured for easy and quick transition in ever-increasing traffic on Indian roads keeping in sync with ‘Make in India’ initiative of the government of India. Thus, as a locally manufactured product, Chariot is far more cost-effective as compared to Segway’s SE Community Patroller.\nVersatility: A unique feature that distinguishes Chariot from Segway SE3 Patroller is that Chariot can be deployed in areas that lack maneuverability, for missions that need versatility as well as a quick transit.\nDual Speed Mode: The dual speed mode and emergency brakes in Chariot make it easy and safe to ride the Personal Transit Pod as compared to the Segway SE3 Patroller.\nLow Maintenance: Chariot’s low maintenance makes it a more desirable vehicle for patrolling than the Segway SE3 Patroller.\nSturdy Design: Both the Chariot and Segway SE3 Patroller, though have three-wheel stability however, the Chariot has an advantage over its counterpart with sturdy design, space efficiency and giving it an edge to be an effective partner in two ways patrolling.\nPublic Announcement: Another distinctive feature of the Chariot that distinguishes it from the Segway SE3 Patroller is the public announcement system with a loud siren.\nThe electric micro-mobility revolution has been underway globally since the early aughts and Cosmic Healer Private Limited has been on forefront since then.

The boiler is responsible for providing a constant flow of warm water for bathing, washing dishes and preparing food. When a boiler malfunctions it will often consume more energy than necessary. This is because it takes more power to perform its normal function than if every aspect of the boiler were running smoothly.\nHowever, a malfunctioning boiler may also be unable to determine when it should switch on or off and can then burn energy rather than shutting down. Heating costs make up a large majority of the average home’s energy bill. Maintaining a fully functional boiler will reduce unnecessary energy consumption and lower your energy bill.\nPardo & Son offers quality boiler repair services to the people of Orlando. We understand how important a function boiler can be and also how necessary hot water is to a home. That is why it is our goal to provide Orlando with continuous hot water all year round.

They were visiting Miami for the 24th annual Campus Energy Conference, “Cleaner Energy, Greener Campus,” sponsored by the International District Energy Association, or IDEA.\nThe conference attendees who toured the Miller School campus probably had not, however, heard a flagship facility described quite the way Marcelo Bezos, director of utilities and engineering, put it:\n“The Central Energy Plant is really the heartbeat of the campus,’’ Bezos said. “It has about 6,000 feet of arteries and veins that circulate life-supporting fluid throughout our medical and research facilities, covering 2.8 million square feet of space that’s used for research, hospital and administrative work.”\nOrganized by Ron Bogue, assistant vice president for facilities and services, the tour began when the visitors, who hold staff or consulting positions in utilities, engineering and facilities in various institutions across the nation, assembled at the 15th Street Garage, home to the Central Energy Plant. Standing in the power plant with the Kohler generators humming in the background, Bezos welcomed the group and briefed them on the construction, cost, uses and capacity of the plant, as well as the nearby Biomedical Research Building.\nThey learned that the 47,000-square-foot chiller and generator plant, topped by a nine-story parking garage with 1,400 parking spaces, was built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane, as well as a number of other interesting facts. Among them: The three 4,000-ton chillers evaporate about 150 million gallons of water annually to cool the medical campus. Underground, the “life-supporting” pipes, 36 inches in diameter, extend from the chiller building to the Biomedical Research Building and other buildings across the campus to air-condition them via the energy-efficient system.\nThree 20-cylinder, 2.8-megawatt generators occupy an additional 6,000 square feet.\nThe nine-story Biomedical Research Building, which encompasses 64,700 square feet of office space and 100,928 square feet of research space, houses the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics, and the Braman Family Breast Cancer Institute. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified project was honored in the higher education/research category with a “Best of 2009 Award of Excellence” from Southeast Construction magazine.\nDuring the tour, visitors heard from representatives of Newcomb & Boyd, the Atlanta-based engineering company, Composite Cooling Solutions, L.P., and several other firms that worked on the Miller School projects.\nJuan Ontiveros, executive director of utilities and energy management at the University of Texas at Austin, said the tour and the conference overall provided good learning opportunities for the industry.\n“We operate a very large system,” he said. “We have 54,000 tons of cooling and 135-megawatt power plant and we self-produce all our energy, so it’s good to get a perspective of how other people operate. If there is something I can glean from how other people do business, I want to learn from it. And, on the reverse side, there are things we do that others could perhaps benefit from, and that’s open to them.”\nBezos agreed, adding, “It’s about sharing ideas with your colleagues and, at the same time, showcasing some of the behind-the-scenes efforts that are crucial for the University. What the University is carrying out is truly a noble mission and we are proud to do our part in support of that mission on a day-to-day basis.”", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

For that reason it was important to focus on as many angles and views of the keyboard as possible, all while showcasing the custom parts included in the purchase, through a cinematic lens. Enthusiasts may wait up to 6 months on an order while manufacturing is completed and shipped. This promo allows the Rama buyers to have something to keep coming back to as the arrival date approaches.\nOur direction was to create thoughtful environments that felt on brand and complimented each color finish the keyboard is offered in. I kicked off the design of the environments, and came up with a set of modular parts ready to be rearranged as needed. Much of the set is made to reference other RW products, branding, and raw materials. It was also key to restrain ourselves to a simple landscape so as to focus attention on the keyboard and it’s parts.\nThe environments are both industrial, elemental, and modern.

One just has to fill the boiler with tap water and then he or she needs to plug the appliance into an electrical outlet. As we press the start button, the purification process starts to take place and as the water treatment finishes, it automatically shuts down.\nWith Waterwise 9000 we get a polycarbonate storage bottle which can accommodate 1 gallon of water and can be easily stored in the refrigerator. Water wise 9000 comes with a power cord which is detachable which works with all worldwide requirements. This is very helpful for those who travel frequently.\nIt efficiently removes substances such as chlorine, arsenic, trihalomethane etc from the water. Waterwise 9000 employs the most contemporary method of purification i.e. distillation. Distillation is considered to be much healthier and trusted process of purification. Distillation is much better than filtration, reverse osmosis etc. The working principle of purification of water is based on the principle of hydrologic cycle. Waterwise 9000 provide enough water for 4 people i.e. a gallon of water in 4.5 hours. It requires no installation or any kind of assembly.\nAs we switch on this device, the temperature rises to 212 degrees F, killing bacteria, cyst, and virus. As the steam is produced, it begins to rise leaving behind solids, microbial waste, heavy metals etc. Low boiling gases vent off through gaseous vent. The cooling of steam is now done in stainless steel container called the condenser. This high quality water passes through polished coconut shell polished filter. While passing, the VOC’s are adsorbed giving us ultra pure distilled water. This water gets stored in a collector bottle. Water wise 9000 is tested and certified by water quality association of USA.

Most of our customers are way too busy to make a trip to a laundromat. In order to avoid large piles of dirty laundry everywhere, you’ll probably want to call a local appliance repair company for washer repair or dryer repair. Go with an affordable, dependable appliance repair company that provides same-day service like Smithtown Appliance Repair.\nRepairmen have the necessary tools, training and experience to perform basic and complicated repairs in the original service appointment. We fill our repairmen’s vans with manufacturer parts for popular brands of washers and dryers – including GE, LG, Kenmore, Bryant, Sears, Carrier, Armstrong, Goodman, Lennox, RCA and more!\nThe most reoccurring type of washing machine repair is for strange noises coming from the machine. We is able to diagnose the source of the loud sound and decide if we should repair or replace the broken parts. The origin of the sound is usually because of a worn-down pump motor or worn belt or bearings.\nIn the event your washer does not turn on, first take a look to see if it is not plugged in or if a circuit breaker might have flipped off. The problem could also be from a broken latch, thermal fuse or timer. A washer that will not turn on means the cogs, coupler, drive belt or transmission need immediate repair or need replacement.\nA washing machine that will not spin means there’s an issue with the door latch, wax motor or motor coupling. Smithtown Appliance Repair can repair these issues right away and have your washing machine spinning again very soon!\nThe typical causes for a washer overflowing is either the water level pressure switch, water inlet valve or the air dome tube on the washing machine.\nA malfunctioning temperature control switch or inlet hose is usually the reason a washer won’t produce cold or hot water.\nThe most typical dryer issue is strange sounds coming from the appliance. Broken seals, bearings or worn belts often lead to loud noises from dryers.\nA dryer that does not generate enough heat to dry clothes won’t be very useful. The cause of the issue is likely a broken high-limit thermostat, heating element or cycling thermostat. These same parts can also cause a dryer to be too hot. Our technician will troubleshoot the dryer to determine the issue and solution.\nWhen your dryer does not turn on, you will want to be sure the appliance is plugged in and that every one of the circuit breakers are flipped on. If the appliance isn’t unplugged and still does not start or tumble, the high-limit thermostat, heating element or cycling thermostat will likely need to be repaired or replaced.\nThe opposite issue is if the dryer won’t turn off. The reason for this particular problem is either a broken timer or door switch.\nA dryer timer has to advance in order to complete the cycle. If the timer won’t advance, it could mean there’s a broken cycling thermostat or timer motor.\nCopyright ©2023  Smithtown Appliance Repair", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

But the caveat here is an owner of a concrete floor or patio has to be vigilant enough to detect cracks. Specifically, before it develops into something nastier.\nPreventing concrete cracks is all about minimizing the chances of its development in the first place.\nAs a matter of fact, there are many causes due to which a concrete structure can develop unsightly cracks. The best solution seems to be contacting a local concrete repair and maintenance company to get it fixed on time.\nPrevious experience tells us not taking preliminary steps to Avoid Concrete Cracks can manifest itself through more damage. And the result is always visible in the appearance of the concrete surface.\nYou don’t want that. Right?\nThis leaves us with only one sensible choice and that’s to first understand the causes behind concrete cracks. This makes preventing concrete cracks easier and faster as well.\nLet’s hop in and see what are the leading causes behind crack development in concrete and what you can do about it.\nWhat Causes of Concrete Cracks?\nThe most common cause of concrete cracks is drying shrinkage. Concrete, as it sets, has an innate tendency to shrink.\nAnother thing to keep in mind is concrete’s low tensile strength. What this means is cracks become unavoidable when the inner tensile tension exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete.\nWell, you’ve to first recognize the factors predominantly responsible for this phenomenon. Understanding the below-mentioned causes can help you to Stop Concrete from Cracking.\nNot to mention, you’ll be able to take preventative measures to prevent cracks in the first place.\n#1. Lack of Sub-Grade Preparation\nA sub-grade should be smooth and have proper drainage. The absence of this means the concrete will lack the support as it shrinks. This automatically increases the chance of cracking.\n#2. Excess Water in the Concrete Mix\nIt’s paramount to choose the right concrete mix before application. Excess water in the mix evaporates leading to more shrinkage. Thus, making it hard to Prevent Concrete Floor Cracking.\n#3. Improper Curing\nUsually, a Concrete Pumping Company apply a curing compound after placing the concrete. However, not allowing the required time for the concrete to cure can lead to damage in the surface later on.\nSo, these were the leading causes behind concrete damage. In the next section, we’ll be taking a look at some of the measures you can take for Preventing Cracks in Polished Concrete Floors and other structures\nPreventing Concrete Cracks For A Smooth Surface\nFollowing are some of the factors that play a huge role when it comes to preventing concrete cracks from spreading.\nMoreover, taking care of these factors proves to be useful in Preventing Concrete from Cracking in the future.\n#1. Depth of the Contraction Joints\nConcrete contractors need to pay extra attention when jointing the concrete. This helps in dictating where the concrete will crack, which, by the way, is far better than random cracking.\nExtra care is a must to maintain the depth of the concrete contraction joints. Based on a general estimation, concrete joints should be 1/4th of the slab thickness.\nNOTE: Ensure that the edges are not worn if using a hand tool to joint the concrete. This will play a major role in Preventing Cracks in Concrete.\n#2. Timing of the Joints\nAnother main cause for crack development in concrete is not jointing them quickly. Placing hardboard or plastic preformed strip in the concrete on time helps in preventing concrete cracks.\nMoreover, ensure that these strips are in proper alignment and are not skewed. Contractors should take special care when using a saw to cut the joints. You need to cut it as soon as the concrete can take the sawing.\nIt’s better to saw cut the concrete within the first 6 to 18 hours without waiting any longer. This is, in fact, essential to prevent random cracks in concrete.\n#3. Proper Sealing of the Joints\nNow, this one is an absolute necessity. Using a sealant significantly lowers the chances of surface water infiltration. This can play a big role to prevent damage to the sub-grade layer.\nSealing helps in the expansion and contraction of the concrete without cracking. This translates to better strength in the long-term. This is why contractors usually use sealant even if it’s not mandatory.\nNOTE: Apply sealant only after the completion of concrete shrinkage.\n#4. Curing of the Concrete\nProper curing can never be ignored. In fact, attempts are made to prolong the curing process by maintaining the moist condition of newly placed concrete.\nContinuous spraying and wet coverings are useful in moist curing. Remember to use a wet covering only after the surface has hardened sufficiently. This will help to prevent any further damage to the surface.\nA film of water should remain on the surface throughout the curing process to ensure the durability of the structure.\nWell, a professional contractor is indispensable to ensure proper application of all these steps.\nHire Maple Concrete Pumping to Fix Concrete Cracks\nWe are experts in concrete pumping and maintenance in the Greater Toronto Area.

During the sametime, thanks to him, the production of raw cotton in America had increased six- to eight-fold.\nTen years back, he had visited a plantation in Georgia and seen for himself the bottleneck in cotton production–the arduous task of separating lint from seeds by hand. In ten days, he designed and built a small machine that could be used to gin more cotton in an hour than several men could in a day.\nThe news of this simple and wondrous cotton gin spread through the Southern states like wildfire and within a few weeks an avalanche of new cotton was growing in the fields in anticipation of the new machine. Then followed the widespread pirating of Whitney’s cotton gin throughout the South, which resulted in the evaporation of his expected profits and instead drove him deeply into debt.Whitney spent the next ten years fighting court cases and petitioning state legislatures. The few victories in these battles werebarely enough to pay the costs of waging them.\nMeanwhile, America itself faced a larger problem. The belligerent European powers had not given up their territorial ambitions in the Americas. In the likely event of a war with one of them, America did not have the ability to produce sufficient quantities of firearms needed to sustain a long conflict, for three reasons.\nFirst, each individual musket was hand-made by a gunsmith and was unique. Whenever it broke down–as was common, especially during a war–a gunsmith was needed to remake the unique part needed to fix it.\nSecond, each of the relatively small number of gunsmiths in America could make only a small number of muskets per year. The total number of muskets that could be produced per year fell woefully short of the numbers needed to sustain a war.\nThird, to become an expert gunsmith capable of producing reliable firearms required mastery of several distinct skills through anapprenticeship that could last several years; America could not produce new gunsmiths fast enough.\nEli Whitney approached the US government and offered to solve all three problems and produce ten thousand muskets–an unheard ofnumber at that time–in two years. His name alone, as the inventor of the cotton gin, was sufficient to earn him one of the largestmonetary contracts in early US history.\nHe chose to build his muskets with interchangeable parts. Since any malfunctioning part could easily be replaced, the muskets could be repaired simply and quickly.\nHe devised an assembly line of production where each man would focus on a single, relatively simple function, and the muskets being built would be moved from one work area to the next. This resulted in a dramatically higher speed of production, as a large numberof muskets were being worked on at the same time by a large number of men in an integrated fashion.\nAs each man needed to master a relatively simple skill, a farmhand could learn the needed skill and become part of the production process within days rather than years.\nIt took eight years for Whitney to work out all the problems of this new production system and fulfill the original contract. In the last two years of this period the factory made almost ten thousand muskets, and in the following two years another fifteen thousand more, in time for the war of 1812. More important, by pioneering ideas like interchangeable parts, the assembly line, and an easily trainable workforce, Eli Whitney laid the foundation for industrial revolution in America.\n[Thanks to the Eli Whitney Museum of New Haven, CT for its excellent preservation and presentation of Eli Whitney’s achievements, and to its director, William Brown, for a thought-provoking discussion on the place of Eli Whitney in the history of industrial revolution in America. — Shrikant Rangnekar]", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This was followed with being partaker in washing the inside and outside of the vehicle, topping up the radiator, checking the engine oil level and tyre pressures, and helping to find big stones that served as anti-rolling wedges during a wheel change.\nTransition into sitting directly behind the wheel of a vehicle started with a studious examination of a book my father had bought in the 1960s when he was about to purchase his first car. The book covered virtually all aspects of a vehicle, the difference between a manual and automatic transmission, the technical layout of the gears and the process of shifting through them, the safety regime to follow when driving including manual signalling when your indicators fail for any reason, and above all, how to ensure your vehicle is kept safe for operation through regular maintenance as well as check-ups.\nI have since had the privilege of driving for the last 37 years. The first 12 years were spent driving extensively on Nigerian soil, while the remainder has been spent driving mainly in Europe and North America apart from the occasional foray into other countries for conferences or vacations. Whilst I do not consider myself an A+ driver, I am sure many of those close to me will not fault a modest acclamation of being an A driver. It is on this basis that I write today on why you and your vulcanizer – that man that changes the wheel on your vehicle for you, can be your killer because of ignorance/lack of knowledge. Before I come to you, let me start with the third party.\n(1) You have just bought a brand new tyre and asked him to fix it on a wheel. Since he lacks the right equipment to do the job, he brings out a long flat steel and a huge sledge hammer, he begins to hit the side of the tyre all the way round to force the edges of the tyre inside the rim. When he finishes on one side, he turns the tyre over to start on the other side. Are you aware that the walls of the tyre contributes to its structural integrity and consequently its safety? By hitting the walls forcefully to get the edges of the tyre into the rim, not only has he weakened the structural integrity of the tyre, he has also accelerated the potential for the tyre to fail during normal (to talk less of abnormal) usage.\n(2) After some huffing and panting, he got the new tyre on the rim. Thereafter, he inflated the tyre and having no pressure gauge, employed his fingers to constantly poke the hardness of the tyre wall as a good measure of deciding when the air inside the tyre is enough for the valve to be capped.\n(3) Most concerning, he has no clue as to what the pressure for your make and model of car should be. So, you find a vehicle that should have a pressure of 32psi on the front wheels and 30 psi on the rear wheels having a mismatch of pressures ranging from 28 to 50 psi on the four wheels. Disaster already created.\nYou is inter-changeable for the owner, the driver or the owner-driver.\n(1) When you were buying the new tyre, did you ask for a tyre with an expiry date at least four or five years from the date of purchase since all things being equal, a typical regularly used vehicle in Nigeria would need to have a tyre change every 3 years on an average? I am sure you did not, since you have no idea that tyres have expiration dates.\n(2) Do you even know what the numbers inscribed on the walls of the tyre you have bought signify? Okay, you know that 165/55R15 91T indicates the tyre that will fit the rim of your car because that is what was fitted and you are replacing. For a second-hand car, you do not have a clue if that is the recommended manufacturer size. As such, if the previous owner has changed the tyre size to a non-recommended one in ignorance and stupidity, you also in bliss inherit the ignorance and stupidity. God have mercy.\n(3) You are a speed maniac, who likes to do 170km per hour regardless of the condition of the vehicle, the condition of the roads as well as the speed regulations governing the roads/areas being travelled in. Sadly, since you have no knowledge of what the inscriptions on the tyre indicate, you have no clue that a tyre that has the inscription 205/65R15 95T is different from the one with 205/65R15 95H or 205/65R15 95V (I will be surprised if the tyre seller himself knows the difference apart from the selling price). Since the latter ratings are more expensive, you went for the cheaper one, the one that restricts your maximum speed to 120km/h than the one that provides for a top speed of 210km/h if the tyre is in good condition and with the right pressure inside it.\n(4) The small gadget called a tyre pressure gauge costs less than what you spend on a bottle of Orijin in a week. Have you ever invested a small amount of your money on one? If you did, when last did you carry out a check to ensure the pressure inside your tyres are in compliance with what the vehicle and tyre manufacturers recommended, particularly after visiting your lovely, ignorant in bliss and lacking-equipment vulcanizer?\n(5) I have been told I had no hair on my head when I was born. That baldness is the state you will find a significant amount of tyres on vehicles on Nigerian roads today. The threading on the tyres are not just worn to the recommended point where new ones ought to be fitted, they are worn far beyond the point where the tyres can have any meaningful grip on any road surface.\nMy dear friends, do you see how lack of knowledge, ignorance and sometimes outright stupidity are killing Nigerians in droves on our roads? You trust in God to keep you safe, but you constantly play a love-game with the deadly combination of an extremely hot climatic condition, over-inflated as well as bald tyres, over-speeding, poorly maintained roads, lack of driving training and/or road etiquettes, and you blame God when disaster occurs?\nIf this post has made you angry enough to wonder who the writer think he is to offer you advice on driving as well as maintaining your vehicle, I hope it prompts you to change your ways as we still need you (and others your action/inaction may untimely kill) on this side of humanity.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Though they may not be totally wrong because some metals are not reusable.\nNevertheless, a reasonable amount of scrap metals has economic value. They must pass through some processes before becoming furnace-ready materials that can be used to manufacture new equipment. However, the process must be followed strictly to minimize loss and avoid complications.\nSorting and classification of the metals begin at the scrapyard. This process involves separating metals from the mixed scrap metal stream or the mixed multi-material waste stream.\nThen they are sorted into various types. Scrap metal comes in various types which are classified into Ferrous and Non-Ferrous metals. The distinct difference between these two is that Ferrous metals contain iron and are magnetic while non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, lead, zinc etc. do not have such characteristics.\nSorting is crucial for industrial manufacturing and can be done in an automated sorting process using magnets and sensors.\nThe next stage is processing which involves sorting and reduction into smaller bits to make melting easy. The type of method used is dependent on the metal itself. While most scrap metals are reduced by shredding, some are reduced by touching and bailing. The overall goal is to reduce the metal into smaller bits.\nWhen the metals have been reduced, then they are melted down in large, hot furnaces for two main reasons. The first reason is to remove impurities present in the metal. There are different types of impurities in scrap metals thereby demanding different methods. The most popular method used for removing impurities is Electrolysis—passing a direct electric current through the molten metal. The second reason is to make the solidifying stage of the process possible.\nThe metals are solidified into ingots—blocks of pure metals suitable for transport, storage and further processing—in the solidifying stage. During the solidifying stage, the melted metals are placed on the conveyor belt to cool and shape into blocks.\nThe last stage in the recycling process is Manufacturing. The blocks are either transported to manufacturing companies that use metal for most of their productions or are stored for future purposes.\nUnlike other recycled products, metals can be recycled numerous times without reducing the quality of the final product. Recycling metals reduces the toxic wastes, further damage to the earth from the extraction of metal ore and greenhouse emissions. 354 000 tons of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas is saved per 100 000 tons of recycled aluminum according to research conducted by the Imperial College. Also, our natural metal ores are preserved for longer years due to scrap metal recycling. This is one of the reasons selling off your scrap metals would make the world a safer place.\nIf you are still unsure of where and how to sell your scrap metal, or you want further clarifications, RCM Recycling has knowledgeable and experienced staff that will answer your questions.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Perceiving these side effects can assist you with forestalling a total breakdown and expected inconvenience during blistering climate.\nDiminished Cooling Effectiveness:\nOn the off chance that you notice that your house isn’t cooling as successfully as it used to, regardless of setting the indoor regulator fittingly, your AC condenser may be at fault. A reduction in cooling effectiveness frequently shows that the unit is battling to eliminate heat from your home.\nWarm Air Blowing from Vents:\nAt the point when warm or tepid wind streams from your AC vents rather than cold air, it very well may be an obvious indicator of condenser issues. The condenser is liable for cooling the refrigerant, and when it fizzles, the air coming from the vents won’t be sufficiently cooled.\nOdd commotions, like crushing, shrieking, or banging, coming from your open air condenser unit are reason to worry. These commotions can demonstrate broken down or harmed parts that need consideration.\nIn the event that your AC framework requires continuous fixes, it’s serious areas of strength for a that something is wrong. Consistently fixing minor issues can become expensive over the long haul, and it very well might be more financially savvy to supplant the condenser.\nHigher Energy Bills:\nA failing AC condenser can make your framework work harder and consume more energy. On the off chance that you notice an unexpected spike in your energy charges, it merits examining the effectiveness of your condenser.\nSection 2: When to Think about AC Condenser Substitution\nWhenever you’ve distinguished the indications of a faltering AC condenser, the subsequent stage is deciding if a substitution is vital. A few variables can assist you with settling on this choice:\nAge of the Framework:\nAC condensers normally have a life expectancy of 10-15 years. On the off chance that your unit is approaching the finish of its normal life expectancy and showing issues, it’s a great opportunity to think about a substitution.\nCost of Fixes:\nAscertain the combined expense of fixes over the course of the last little while. In the event that the maintenance costs are becoming significant, it very well may be more practical to put resources into another condenser.\nFresher AC condenser units are intended to be more energy-proficient, assisting you with saving money on your energy bills. Assuming your ongoing unit is a more established, less effective model, an overhaul can bring about long haul reserve funds.\nAssuming your ongoing AC framework utilizes an obsolete refrigerant like R-22, which is being deliberately gotten rid of because of natural worries, you should consider moving up to a framework that utilizes a more eco-accommodating refrigerant.\nSection 3: How to Redesign Your Cooling Framework\nAt the point when you’ve chosen to supplant your AC condenser, here’s a bit by bit guide on the most proficient method to overhaul your cooling framework:\nCounsel an Expert:\nBegin by reaching an authorized central air professional. They will survey your ongoing framework and suggest a suitable substitution unit in view of your home’s cooling needs.\nPick the Right Condenser:\nWork with your central air expert to choose another air conditioner condenser that matches the size and proficiency prerequisites of your home. Present day condenser units are accessible with different energy-proficient elements, so investigate your choices.\nExamine the expense of the substitution, including the cost of the new condenser, work, and any extra parts or changes required for the establishment. Make a financial plan and timetable for the undertaking.\nPass on the establishment to the experts. They will securely eliminate the old condenser unit, introduce the enhanced one, and guarantee it’s appropriately associated with the remainder of your AC framework.\nWhen the new condenser is set up, be proactive about ordinary support. Changing air channels, cleaning the curls, and booking yearly check-ups with an air conditioning specialist will assist with drawing out the existence of your cooling framework.\nPartake in the Advantages:\nAfter the air conditioner condenser substitution, you can expect further developed cooling effectiveness, lower energy bills, and a more happy with living climate. You’ll likewise experience harmony of brain realizing that your new condenser is under guarantee.\nSupplanting your AC condenser is a critical speculation, however keeping an agreeable home environment is in many cases a fundamental one. By perceiving the indications of a faltering condenser, understanding when to think about a substitution, and following the moves toward redesign your cooling framework, you can guarantee a more proficient and solid AC framework that keeps you cool for quite a long time into the future. Feel free to with air conditioning experts to pursue the best decision for your particular requirements and spending plan.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Description of the problem\n1. General description of the procedure\nMost patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be managed with conventional modes of mechanical ventilation. In a minority of cases (<10%), however, routine ventilator strategies fail to achieve adequate oxygenation using lung protective settings and alternative strategies are required. These can include neuromuscular paralysis, prone positioning, inhaled vasodilators, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and alternative modes of mechanical ventilation, including airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) and high frequency ventilation (HFV).\nThere are currently two ongoing randomized clinical trials testing the effectiveness of HFV in patients with ARDS. Until results from these trials are available, HFV is generally regarded as a salvage mode of ventilation for severe cases with refractory hypoxemia from severe ARDS, and should be considered when escalating conventional support requires airway pressures and FiO2 exposures associated with ventilator induced lung injury (VILI).\nWith this ventilator modality, much higher-than-normal breathing frequencies are used (>100 breaths/min in the adult) along with much smaller tidal volumes (eg <1 ml/kg in the alveolar regions) that are often less than anatomic dead space. The rationale for such an approach is that the smaller tidal pressure swings, coupled with appropriate mean airway pressure applications, create a conceptually ideal lung-protective strategy in ARDS that limits over-distention and collapse-reopening VILI (Figure 1).\nAlthough there are different devices that can be used to generate such high frequencies, including jets and oscillators, only oscillators are approved for adult use (specifically, only the SensorMedics 3100b is FDA approved) and this discussion will thus be limited to use of this device.\n2. Mechanism of how HFV works\nHFV using the oscillator (HFO) operates by using a piston mechanism to generate a “to and fro” application of pressure to the airway opening. Fresh gas is supplied into the ventilator circuit as a “bias flow,” and mean airway pressure is adjusted by the relationship between fresh gas inflow and any positive or negative pressure placed on the gas outflow from the bias flow circuit (Figure 2).\nWith oscillators, clinicians usually have the capability to set oscillator frequency, oscillator displacement (volume), inspiratory to expiratory time and bias flow. The actual delivered fresh gas volume to the lung depends on oscillator displacement volume as it interacts with respiratory system mechanics, and both the magnitude and the locations of the bias flow. In general, the bias flow location should be as deep as possible in the airways to minimize dead space.\nWith HFO, peak and baseline pressures in the proximal airway are dampened considerably by the time the oscillations reach alveolar units. However, mean airway and alveolar pressures are probably comparable during HFO in the adult (Figure 3). Because delivered volumes are very difficult to monitor with these systems, ventilation parameters are set using pressure measurements, visual inspection of chest motion and arterial blood gases, as described below in discussion on mechanisms of gas transport in HFO.\n3. Implementing HFO\nHFO use is generally considered in adult respiratory failure when adequate gas exchange cannot be provided using conventional ventilator settings that are “lung protective.” In practical terms, this means the arterial PO2 is below 50-55 mmHg despite end-inspiratory pressures (plateau airway pressures corrected for any chest wall effects) approaching 35 cm H2O and FiO2requirements above 0.60 to 0.70. As stated previously, the timing of when to implement HFO relative to other salvage therapies must be individualized.\nThe other indication for use of HFO in adults is for broncho-pleural fistula, to decrease the air leak owing to a reduced amplitude of pressure swings.\nB. Relative contraindications\nIncreased intracranial pressure, due to the increased mean airway pressures used. In addition, patients with any type of obstructive lung disease should not be placed on this mode as HFO effects on gas transport and alveolar pressures are less well understood or predictable under these circumstances.\nC. Set up: initial ventilator settings\nThe important settings are frequency, power (the piston pressure swings generating the tidal volume), FiO2, and the mean airway pressure (mPaw). Most authorities recommend some form of recruitment maneuver (e.g. 30-40 cm H2O mPaw for 30-40 seconds) and a subsequent mPaw setting 5 cm H2O higher than what had been delivered with the conventional ventilator.\nInitial frequency at 5 Hz.\nFiO2 is 1.0.\nPower (piston displacement force) at 5-6 and adjust subsequently to see an obvious “chest wiggle.”\nInspiratory:expiratory ratio at 1:2.\nCircuit bias flow at 30-40 L/min to assure CO2 clearance and maintenance of mPaw.\nD. Subsequent ventilator settings\nTo adjust ventilation\nTo decrease PaCO2\nIncrease the power setting in single increments.\nIf power setting is maximal, decrease frequency by increments of 0.5 (this increases tidal volume).\nIf PaCO2 is still too high, consider deflating the endotracheal tube cuff to facilitate CO2 clearance. Note that this may decrease mPaw and decrease oxygenation.\nTo increase PaCO2 decrease the power setting in single increments or increase the frequency in 0.5 Hz increments.\nTo improve oxygenation\nAs in other modes of mechanical ventilation, to improve oxygenation one can either increase the mPaw and/or the FiO2. This can be accomplished in a protocolized fashion by referring to mean airway pressure/FiO2 tables similar to the PEEP/FiO2 tables employed in large clinical trials of conventional ventilation. An example of one such titration is given in Table I, with the strategy being to move down the table if below oxygenation goals and to move up the table if oxygenation goals are exceeded:\n|Goal: 55 ≤ PaO2 ≤ 80 Goal: 88 ≤ SpO2 ≤ 95|\nE. Other considerations when using HFO\nAdditional adjustment to vent settings to minimize VILI\nOnce the patient has stabilized on HFO, some authorities suggest increasing the frequency as much as possible to further minimize alveolar cyclical pressures. This is done by adjusting the power settings in 0.5Hz increments to maximal or until CO2 clearance becomes unacceptable (due to decreased tidal volumes).\nUse of sedation and paralysis\nDeep sedation and neuromuscular paralysis are employed commonly in the first few hours of HFO to minimize or eliminate ventilator asynchrony while optimizing ventilator settings to improve gas exchange. Thereafter, paralysis should be discontinued if at all possible. Surprisingly, most patients tolerate HFO quite well without excessive sedative/analgesic requirements. It is important to note that spontaneous breaths can occur during HFO although inspiratory gas flow is limited by the set bias flow.\nSignificant complications can occur using this mode and an extensive “learning curve” is required before operators become skilled at delivering vent support appropriately and safely. The most common complications include the following:\nInsufficient airway humidification:Humidification is difficult to achieve when using high gas flows. Therefore, effective systems that provide adequate heat and humidity are required along with frequent assessments of airway function and sputum consistency.\nHypotension: Since high mean airway pressures are used with HFO this may reduce venous return. As with other ventilation strategies, the first intervention should be to give intravenous fluids.\nAs the patient improves, the FiO2 and mPaw requirements will decrease. When the mPaw is 20-22 cm H2O and the FiO2is 0.40-0.50, consideration can be given to returning the patient to conventional ventilation.\nMechanism of gas transport\nThe tidal breaths in HFO are usually small and often are less than anatomic dead space. For effective CO2 and O2 transfer to take place between alveoli and the environment under these circumstances, mechanisms other than conventional bulk flow transport (i.e., nonconvective gas transport) must be invoked. This is because the traditional relationship between effective alveolar ventilation (VA) and the frequency (f), tidal volume (VT) and dead-space volume (VD) (i.e., VA = f x [VT – VD]) becomes meaningless when VT is less than VD.\nA number of different mechanisms have been proposed to explain gas transport under these seemingly “unphysiologic” conditions.\nIf the gas-flow profile during one phase of the ventilatory cycle is parabolic and square during the other phase, a net flow of gas can occur in one direction through the center of the airway and in the other direction via the periphery (coaxial flow). Measurements in models of the human tracheobronchial tree have demonstrated such asymmetric flow profiles, but they are quite complex and depend heavily on airway geometry (especially bifurcations) and gas velocity during different phases of the ventilatory cycle.\nTaylor dispersion is a complex physical concept that describes gas dispersion along the front of a high-velocity gas flow. The dispersion characteristics are different depending on whether flow is turbulent or laminar. Dispersion also is affected by bifurcations in the airway and development of flow eddies. Net gas transport occurs as a result of this dispersion of gas molecules beyond the bulk flow front.\nMolecular diffusion is responsible for gas mixing within alveolar units during conventional ventilation. Molecular diffusion is also likely to serve this role during conventional ventilation. Molecular diffusion is also likely to serve this role during HFV as well. It is unclear whether augmented molecular diffusion serves any additional role during HFV.\nPendelluft is the phenomenon of intra-unit gas mixing due to impedance differences. This intra-unit mixing also can involve airway gas and thus produce effective alveolar ventilation. Pendelluft may be particularly pronounced when HFV is used in a lung with heterogeneous impedances.\nThe relative importance of each of these mechanisms is not clear. In fact, because these mechanics are not mutually exclusive, all may be operative simultaneously and to varying degrees depending on HFV parameters as well as the effects of lung disease on regional mechanics.\nPredicting gas exchange as a function of ventilator parameters when these nonconvective flow mechanisms are operative during HFV can be difficult. In general, as nonconvective flow mechanisms become more important, alveolar ventilation becomes increasingly a function of frequency times the square of tidal volume (f x VT2). Thus VT has more effect than f in determining VA. Indeed, increases in frequency usually results in VT reduction, which can actually reduce effective VA.\nThe proportionality constant between VA and fx VT2 is quite small and thus, during nonconvective flow HFV, the f x VT product needs to be quite high for effective alveolar ventilation to occur. This is why typical HFV “output” is generally severalfold higher than conventional mechanical ventilation. Importantly, however, these pressure and volume changes in the major airways are considerably dampened by the time they reach the alveoli, and thus alveolar pressure and volume changes are small. Because of this alveolar pressure profile of small oscillations around a substantial mean during HFO, some have termed HFO as being simply “CPAP with a wiggle.”\nAlveolar capillary gas transport during HFV depends on matching effective ventilation with perfusion (V/Q), just as it does with conventional ventilatory strategies. Thus, the alveolar-arterial oxygen difference during HFV remains largely dependent on mean alveolar pressure (and functional residual capacity), just as it does with conventional strategies.\nInterestingly, observational trials with HFV (especially HFO) described below have often safely utilized mean pressures higher than conventional ventilation and sometimes higher than what is considered a “safe” maximal pressure during conventional ventilation (i.e. >35 cm H2O). This may be possible because the tidal pressure swings are so small with HFO (low lung “strain”) and the application of the higher mean pressure is often a gradual process. Because of this, alveolar epithelial cells may be able to “adapt” to this higher mean stretch.]\nSpecial considerations for nursing and allied health professionals.\nWhat's the evidence?\nClinical trials of HFV\nThe strongest clinical data supporting the use of HFV come from studies in neonatal and pediatric populations. In these populations, jet breathing frequencies in the range of 250-600 breaths per minute or oscillatory frequencies of 500-1000 breaths per minute produce adequate gas exchange and often a lower incidence of chronic lung disease in survivors. Several of these studies emphasize the need for HFV to have adequate volume recruitment for successful application.\nHowever, not all studies favor HFV, although most of the negative trials only showed HFV to be no worse than conventional ventilation (i.e. they are equivalent). Importantly, a recent review of the neonatal/pediatric experience with HFV emphasized that while HFV does provide benefit, the magnitude of that benefit has shrunk over the years as new modalities (e.g. surfactant) and a better appreciation for lung protective conventional ventilation has emerged.\nAdult experience with HFV has been limited because devices with adequate ventilation capabilities for adults are few. The largest adult trial to date utilized an oscillator and demonstrated strong trends in improved mortality in favor of HFO. A concern with this trial was the fact that the control group had a tidal volume generally considered now to be excessive.\nIn 2010 the McMaster University Evidenced Based Medicine Group updated a meta-analysis of HFO in ARDS. They analyzed eight clinical trials of HFO in patients with ARDS. This population included some pediatric patients as well who met the criteria for ARDS. In this analysis, six of the eight studies applied HFO within 48 hours of intubation and in five of the eight studies the ARDS Network low tidal volume strategy was used as the control group. 419 patients were included in these studies.\nNone of the trials on their own showed a significant reduction in mortality but the meta-analysis of the group did. The summary results showed that HFO produced a significant reduction in mortality with a risk ratio of .77 and a 95% confidence interval range from 0.61 to 0.98.\nThis certainly suggests that there may be a role for HFO in severe respiratory failure from ARDS. However, the numbers are still small, pediatric patients were included, and the combined results just barely reached statistical significance. There are two large on-going trials of HFO, one in Canada and one in Europe, that should supply much more solid data in the future.\nPlotz, FB, Slutsky, AS, van Vught, AJ. “Ventilator induced lung injury and multiple system organ failure: a critical review of facts and hypotheses”.

In order to conquer this challenge, manufacturers and researchers employ an arsenal of techniques to gauge the corrosion resistance of materials. Among these strategies, the salt spray chamber emerges as a pivotal instrument, providing a meticulously controlled environment to replicate severe conditions. This article delves into the intricacies of the salt spray Salt Spray Chamber chamber, shedding light on its profound importance in the realm of corrosion testing.\nUnderstanding the Salt Spray Chamber: Dubbed as a salt fog or salt mist chamber, the salt spray chamber stands as a specialized testing apparatus tailored to subject materials to a corrosive salt spray. It impeccably mirrors the corrosive aftermath encountered in marine or high-humidity surroundings. This chamber typically encompasses a hermetically sealed testing chamber, a reservoir housing a salt solution, a precision temperature control system, and a finely tuned mechanism for mist creation.\nOperational Mechanism: The operation of a salt spray chamber revolves around a simple yet effective principle. A solution infused with salt, usually sodium chloride (NaCl), undergoes atomization, culminating in a delicate mist composed of salt particles. This mist is subsequently diffused into the confines of the testing chamber. The chamber’s airtight seal serves as a fortress against external disturbances, while meticulous temperature regulation ensures unwavering testing conditions.\nThe Testing Process: Materials designated for evaluation find their place within the chamber, where the introduction of salt spray takes center stage. The duration of this exposure varies, subject to specific criteria or standardized testing protocols. Throughout this testing journey, the materials stand as steadfast sentinels, continuously enveloped by the caustic salt particles suspended within the chamber’s ambience.\nSignificance in Corrosion Testing: At its core, the salt spray chamber emerges as a judicial arena, passing verdict on a material’s resilience against corrosion and delineating its suitability for diverse applications. The meticulously crafted environment within the chamber lends wings to the testing process, empowering researchers and manufacturers to rapidly assess corrosion resistance within a condensed temporal framework.\nBenefits of Salt Spray Chamber Testing:\n- Efficiency of Time: Salt spray chamber testing accelerates the corrosion narrative, delivering results in a fraction of the time required by natural exposure tests. This temporal acceleration fosters agile product development and streamlines the implementation of robust quality control measures.\n- Consistency Redefined: Salt spray chambers are bastions of consistent testing conditions, facilitating precise juxtapositions among diverse materials or coatings. This consistency elevates the credibility of test outcomes.\n- Harmonizing with Standards: Salt spray chamber testing harmoniously aligns with globally acknowledged standards, including the likes of ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and DIN 50021. These standards not only serve as guiding beacons for test procedures but also outline evaluation benchmarks and reporting formats, forging a shared currency for evaluating corrosion resistance.\nLimitations and Considerations:\n- The Velocity of Acceleration: Acknowledging that the expedited corrosion trajectory within the testing environment might not perfectly mirror real-world circumstances, where the pace of corrosion is known to be variable.\n- The Sonata of Surfaces: Salt spray chambers predominantly resonate with surface corrosion, potentially sidelining the intricate symphony of corrosion within recesses, crevices, or intricate structures.\n- The Ensemble of Supplementary Approaches: Salt spray chamber testing often finds companionship with other corrosion assessment methodologies such as cyclic corrosion testing, electrochemical techniques, or outdoor exposure trials, converging to orchestrate a comprehensive evaluation.\nConclusion: In the grand mosaic of assessing the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings, salt spray chambers occupy a throne of significance. By masterfully replicating aggressive environmental conditions, these chambers unravel precious insights that foster the birth of corrosion-resistant materials, the formulation of potent coatings, and the choreography of unyielding quality control protocols. However, it remains quintessential to synthesize salt spray test outcomes with insights garnered from alternative methodologies to craft a comprehensive narrative of a material’s susceptibility to corrosion.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

You can start making vehicle-aware applications that have better interfaces based on context, can minimize distraction while driving, are integrated with other connected services, and can offer you more insight into your car’s operation. This website is the documentation for a reference design of an OpenXC-compatible Vehicle Interface - for more information on the platform in general, visit openxcplatform.com.\nThe Vehicle Interface (VI) is piece of hardware that connects to the car’s CAN bus, translates proprietary CAN messages to the standard OpenXC message format and sends the output over a common interface like USB to a host device - this particular implementation has USB and Bluetooth.\nFord created this design and manufactured a small quantity to seed the developer community. If you have an idea for an OpenXC application and this hardware would help, make sure there aren’t any known issues with the fit for the reference VI in your car.\nThe VI needs to be programmed with firmware before you can get data from a car. You can use the emulator firmware (zip file) to test the data connection to a host device (a computer, smartphone or tablet). To get data from a real car, grab one of the other available firmwares.\nOnce you've downloaded a firmware file (it should be a version for the \"FORDBOARD\" and have the \".bin\" extension) programming the VI is simple - follow the USB programming instructions.\nBesides using binary firmware for app developers, you can build your own code to run on the VI. You can use the official OpenXC VI firmware (the source for most binary firmware, e.g. those from Ford) or start from scratch with a blank project.\nAlternatively, you can use one of a few lower level programming options (some even allow in-circuit debugging). More details are available in the firmware page.\nThis site contains complete documentation of the hardware, design motivations, fabrication and testing plans. Every component is released as open source hardware and the source files are available in the openxc/reference-vi GitHub repository (along with the contents of this website).\nThe particular unit is a reference design for a \"dongle\" style vehicle interface that connects directly to the diagnostic port with no cable. Ford created this design as an iteration from the original, chipKIT-based vehicle interface with the goal to:\nThis streamlined vehicle interface uses a ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller (NXP's LPC1769), a dual-channel CAN transceiver from NXP, the RN-41 Bluetooth module from Roving Networks and includes a micro-USB port. The design also includes a 12v port (with a Molex connector) to power an external device from the car, and this port can be shut off with the car to avoid battery drain.\nWe also designed and prototyped a plastic housing for the board that allows it to be easily gripped and attached/detached from the OBD-II port underneath the steering wheel.\nThe device is not as compact as it could be, primarily because we design it to use only a 2-layer PCB (to make it more accessible for hobbyists). Depending on the placement and angle of the OBD-II port in your vehicle, the VI may protrude too much - we recommend one of the many available OBD-II extension cables if that's the case.\nThe current BOM total cost for the electrical components in 1,000 unit quantities is around $45.\nThe electrical reference design was created by Bug Labs, contracted by Ford and in collaboration with Ford Research and Innovation engineers in both Palo Alto, CA and Dearborn, MI.

The ignition switch needs to be attached to five different sides of the lawnmower with wire. These connections make the mower engine start and keep it running. A safe and secure wired connection is necessary between the ignition and those five different sides.\nThe ignition switch needs to be attached to the mower body first. You can do the whole job done knowing how to wire a lawn mower ignition switch along with the assist from a veteran. Attaching wires with an ignition switch should be done very carefully with following all the safety measurements.\nWhat is Ignition Switch and the necessary Things to Wire a Lawn Mower Ignition Switch\nThe ignition switch is mainly a part of the lawnmower control system. It is used to activate the central electrical system and connection in any lawnmower engine. You can say the mower ignition switch is the main component for starting the lawnmower engine. An ignition switch needs to be connected with five different parts.\nYou will see five pins in the ignition switch with which you need to connect those five components. There will be letters to define those pins, and those five letters are S, M, L, G, and B. These letters direct towards those parts with which you need to connect the ignition switch.\n- B – It stands for battery\n- G – You need to connect this pin with ground\n- L – This pin needs to make a connection with light\n- S – It is for Solenoid\n- M – It should be connected with magneto\nMost possibly, you will have all these five parts attached to your lawnmower body and engine. When you wire these parts with the ignition switch, you will need some tools and materials. Those are:\n1. Wires – To establish the connection between the ignition switch pin and those five components.\n2. Pliers – You will need it to connect the wire with the pin and other parts.\n3. A 15-Amp Fuse – For establishing the connection between battery and ignition switch.\n4. An Electric Tester – To ensure a safe and secure connection.\n5. Rubber Gloves – For the safety of your hands.\n6. Goggles – To keep your eyes secure while wiring the ignition switch.\nHow to Wire a Lawn Mower Ignition Switch – The Step-by-step Process\nWiring the lawnmower ignition switch is not a challenging task if you have the necessary tools and materials. This whole wiring process is either part of the engine replacement or part of the ignition switch replacement. It is the process where you can bypass all the safety switches through a simple and basic procedure.\nOnce you gather the necessary components, you can start the wiring procedure. The step-by-step processes are:\nStep-1: Connection Between Battery and Ignition Switch\nAt first, you need to identify the positive power side of the battery, which will lead to an ignition switch. There will most probably be a red wire for that, and you need to lead it through the rectifier. After you do so, you will have to guide the wire and connect it with one side of the alternator.\nFrom the other side of the alternator, you will have to guide that connection through another red wire. When all of these will be completed, lead the wire to the “B” letter from the ignition switch. You need to use a 15-Amp fuse to connect the battery and ignition switch safe and secure.\nWith the rubber gloves and the goggles on, connect that wire with the ignition switch by the pliers. Use tapes in every connection between wire and other components to stay safe from short-circuit. Your battery will need a ground connection as well. Make sure you did that before the starting of wiring the lawnmower ignition switch with different parts.\nStep-2: The Ground Connection\nThe ground connection is vital for the ignition switch of any battery-powered, gas-powered, or electrical lawnmower. This connection will help to keep the lawnmower safe from sparking or any types of short-circuit issues. The ground connection of the ignition switch is the simplest among all the five connections, and it is the easiest as well.\nAt first, attach the “G” side of the ignition switch with one side of the wire, and use pliers for the process. Then guide the wire to the material that you want to use as the ground. You can use a piece of soil, as you can’t connect it directly to the surface.\nSo, connect the other side of the wire with a strong piece of soil, and it will do the job perfectly.\nStep-3: Connection of the Light\nThe “L” in the ignition switch indicates the lighting circuit of the lawnmower. To establish the connection between the lights and the ignition switch, you need to first attach the “L” with one side of the wire. Then, guide that wire to the headlight’s end, and connect the wire there.\nBut not all the lawnmower comes with the headlight function, and many users don’t want to use the headlights. It is not mandatory to connect the ignition switch always with the light. You can even connect the ignition switch with other parts like the fuel solenoid as well.\nStep-4: Solenoid and Ignition Switch Connection\nConnect one side of a wire with the “S” marked pin of the ignition switch. Lead the wire to the single blade terminal connection, and attach the wire. Use pliers for these two side’s connections, and make sure you are doing it carefully.\nWhen you make the solenoid connection, you need to have the power out of the solenoid. For that, you need to guide the terminal connection to the starter motor. That’s how you can establish the connection between the solenoid and ignition switch.\nStep-5: Connection between Magneto and Ignition Switch\nThe last connection you need to establish is between the magneto and the ignition switch. You need to connect the “M” marked pin with one side of the wire from the ignition switch’s part. Connect the other side of the wire with the alternator, and it will lead the wire directly to the magneto.\nAfter setting up all the connections, check all of them with the electric tester to be sure.\nHow can I wire the ignition switch of my lawnmower?\nWiring the ignition switch of a lawnmower is not challenging if you have all the tools and materials with you. Check all the pins on the ignition switch, and locate where you need to connect those pins. If you are not getting it, take advice from someone experienced in this sector.\nThen establish the connection between those pins and the parts from the mower engine and body.\nHow can I establish a secure connection while wiring a lawnmower ignition switch?\nFirst, make sure you are using the best quality wires with no leakage, and check them before buying. At each connection, use tapes to ensure there are no leakages and stay safe from short circuit issues. Use a tester to check all the connections after you wire the lawnmower ignition switch.\nWiring the ignition switch is part of the engine or ignition switch replacement process. In this case, re-wiring is necessary to establish a connection between the ignition switch and the other components. You can take the mower to any service shop for wiring, but it will cost you a handsome amount of money.\nWhen you know how to wire a lawn mower ignition switch, both your money and hassle can be saved. While wiring the ignition switch, it is mandatory to maintain all the safety procedures. After completing the connection establishing, check them with an electric tester for confirmation.\nRead Our Latest Buying Guide :", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

After many years of trial and (thankfully very little) error, I’ve settled on Edelrid’s 11mm Safety Super Static II (see //www.edelrid.de/en/work-safety/static-ropes/safety-super-ii-11-mm.html). The 150-year-old German manufacturer describes this rope as the workhorse in the Edelrid stable, and its combination of durability, lightness and smooth flow has certainly made it my go-to rope. No, it’s not cheap – I spend more than $1000 on 200 metres (the maximum length) for my 2 x 100-metre twin-rope set-ups – but it’s a price I’m more than willing to pay for confidence and utility.\nIt makes sense that when you’re looking for the best descenders and ascenders (see below), you go to a company founded by a world-renowned caver. French company Petzl’s Rig descender (see //www.petzl.com/INT/en/Professional/Descenders/RIG#.WWWOw4VOKP8) is light, compact and beautifully-engineered so that the rope feed, braking, descent speed and clip-on functions are easy to use or automatic. I should also say that it’s a split hair between the Rig and the Petzl I’D descender (see //www.petzl.com/INT/en/Professional/Descenders/I-D-S#.WWWRTIVOKP8).\nComfortable, simple to use and with an integrated safety catch, the Petzl Ascension (see //www.petzl.com/INT/en/Professional/Rope-clamps/ASCENSION#.WWWcf4VOKP8) makes the business of going up that much easier.\nMOBILE FALL ARREST\nNot so long ago, all rope access fall arrest safety gear came as two separate pieces (Petzl Shunt, old ASAP and all other brands) where you had to separate carabiner with the shock absorber and fall arrest so you end up with a free falling piece in your hand (ASAP) to attach to the rope. What that meant when you were up on a job was one more thing that could go wrong (to drop the fall arrest to the ground) if you weren’t careful, putting people and property below in danger. Then the New Petzl ASAP-LOCK (see //www.petzl.com/INT/en/Professional/Mobile-fall-arresters/ASAP-LOCK ) came onto the market in 2015, and now the shock absorber is always attached to your harness. And as you’d hope, it’s totally hands-free, with any sudden fall triggering the ASAP’s automatic lock. Well done Petzl.\nANCHOR POINT TESTER\nMade in the UK, the Hydrajaws Model 2000 Medium Duty Tester (see //www.hydrajaws.co.uk/products/model-2000) is easy to use, compact, comes with adjustable footings and, in the best British tradition, is built to last forever. Sold here as the MK11 export model, it also has the advantage of coming in a great carry case. And who doesn’t like great carry cases?\nThis is a tricky one, because we all have different body types and, as a result, harnesses are often a very personal choice. For mine, though, you can’t go past the Petzl AVAO Bod Croll Fast (see //www.petzl.com/INT/en/Professional/Harnesses/AVAO-BOD-CROLL-FAST-international-version#.WWWsE4VOKP8), which integrates the company’s superb Croll rope clamp, adjusts easily and even has a fall indicator that tells you when the harness needs to be replaced.\nBefore seats came into vogue, there was always the danger that hanging on the ropes for more than 20 minutes could cut your circulation off – with serious consequences. For a time, the industry had to rely on its own inventiveness: one guy I worked with made a seat out of a skateboard. Now, with the lightweight Petzl Podium (see //www.petzl.com/INT/en/Professional/Harnesses/PODIUM#.WWWiCYVOKP8), you can dangle all day in comfort, and even keep it on you as you move around thanks to its harness attachment design.\nIt might not immediately qualify as a life-and-death decision, but a good rope bag means one less distraction to take your focus off the job at hand. The 145-litre Black Diamond Zion Haulbag (see //blackdiamondequipment.com/en/big-wall-climbing/zion-haul-bag-BD8102800000ALL1.html) is comfortable to wear, has plenty of space and is solid enough to stand upright on its own, a real plus when your packing/unpacking it. As the company says, it’s one big pig!\nSo there you have it, my eight, indispensable pieces of equipment for professional rope access services.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Unfortunately, all those moving parts can sometimes cause problems. Every printer is different, but they can all suffer from paper jams.\nWe can help. We’ll break down many of the common causes of errors, and then show you how to remove paper jams. With this guide, you’ll be able to fix most problems without calling for service.\nHelp! My Printer Keeps Jamming\nAs complex as your printer might be, there are a few common causes behind most paper jams:\n· Misaligned Paper: Paper that has been incorrectly stacked into trays can shift and jam loading mechanisms. Be sure to use only the suggested amount and make sure it is straight.\n· Dust Particles: Dust particles inside the printer can reduce friction on the rollers and cause the paper to jam. Recycled papers might be a great cost-saving measure, but they can contain more dust particles.\n· Incorrect Paper Weight or Tray: Printer trays are designed to automatically feed paper according to specific and pre-determined paper weights and sizes. Using the wrong paper can cause misfeeds.\n· Sticky or Dirty Paper: Before you load the trays, make sure your paper is clean. Paper that is sticky can jam the feeder or roller. Sometimes a glue from the paper manufacturing company can also remain on the paper causing problems.\n· Used Paper: When a paper is reused, it can have a paper clip, staple, sticker, or stamp that can cause a paper jam. Make sure to use only clean and fresh paper.\nIf you have a printer that suffers from paper jams, try to identify what is causing the problem. The reason may be simple to fix.\nHow to Remove a Paper Jam\nLet’s look at how to remove a paper jam. Following these simple steps will fix most problems with paper stuck in a printer.\n1. Open the Cover\nStart by turning off the printer. Leaving it on can be dangerous to you and cause permanent damage to the printer. Next, carefully remove any loose papers outside the printer. Finally, remove the main cover of the printer.\n2. Remove the Paper\nHold the paper firmly and pull it from the printer slowly. Do not let the paper tear, as this can leave fibers or small pieces of paper stuck in the printer. Pulling too fast can also cause an injury and damage to the printer. If you need to, use tweezers to remove the paper from tight areas. Alternately pull from either side of the paper to prevent tearing. You should also try to pull with the printer, in the direction the paper is fed, rather than against the printer.\n3. Check the Output\nIf the printer stopped due to a paper jam, you may need to remove a paper from the output tray. Inspect the slot at the end of the output tray for pieces of paper. If you find some, slowly remove it as you did in step 2. Please note, some printers have a knob or mechanism for removing paper from the output slot.\n4. Test the Printer\nTurn the printer back on to see if the paper jam has been removed. If it hasn’t, turn the printer off and continue with this step. Next, remove the printer head (for inkjet printers) or toner (for laser printers). Look for paper jammed beneath or around these mechanisms. Finally, test the rollers deeper in the printer for paper jams. You may need to remove the side or front covers from the printer.\nHow to Fix a False Paper Jam\nOccasionally, you’ll come across a printer that insists there is a paper jam, but you can’t seem to find the problem. A false paper jam can be caused by a blocked sensor in the printer. A procedure known as a bottom plate cleaning might solve the problem.\nStart by cleaning the inside of the printer. There should be instructions in your printer maintenance kit for this action. You’ll want to remove any stains or dust from the printer. You may also need to replace the rollers in the printer.\nIf the problem persists, take a clean, plain piece of paper, and fold it in half along the width. Unfold the paper and load it in the rear tray. The open side of the paper should face you. Feed this paper through the printer. This will clean the sensors inside the printer. Finally, check the paper when it is finished. If there is ink on the paper, try this procedure again.\nWorking with a Printer Repair Service\nIf your printer keeps jamming, even after going through the steps in this guide, you may need to get in touch with a service technician at ASE. The good news is that our team of service technicians have served as the go-to for printer service and repair for years. Make sure to record the steps you took to fix the printer, so the our experts can quickly identify the problem and keep downtime to a minimum.\nContact the team at ASE for all your office supply and printer service needs.

Whether it’s high-speed straights or challenging curves, the vehicle’s suspension plays a crucial role. This complex system of shocks and springs enables the car to handle high-speed situations while maintaining road-holding grip. But can you improve your rally car’s suspension performance and durability with specific upgrades? Let’s delve into this topic and give you the answers you need.\nBefore we discuss the possible upgrades, let’s understand the role of the suspension in your car’s overall performance. The suspension system is a collection of components designed to ensure a smooth ride regardless of the road conditions. Primarily, it includes the springs, shock absorbers, and linkages that connect a car to its tires.\nYour car’s suspension system has three main roles. First, it maintains correct vehicle height and alignment. Second, it absorbs shock from road bumps to ensure passenger comfort. Finally, it ensures the tires remain in contact with the road surface for better grip. Consequently, a well-functioning suspension system will enhance your car’s speed, handling, and overall performance.\nThe idea of improving the performance of a rally car’s suspension through specific upgrades is not mere speculation. It’s a proven concept adopted by many car enthusiasts and professional rally drivers. Here are some ways to enhance suspension durability and performance.\nOne of the surest ways to improve your vehicle’s suspension is by upgrading to high-performance shocks. These are designed to offer better handling and durability under high-speed and rough terrain conditions. They also reduce the roll, or tilting effect, when taking corners at speed. High-performance shocks generally have larger diameters and better heat dissipation, which can improve your car’s handling even in the most challenging rally conditions.\nJust like shocks, the springs play a vital role in the performance of your vehicle’s suspension. Upgrading to performance-focused springs can significantly improve your car’s grip and handling. Performance springs are usually lower and stiffer, reducing the car’s center of gravity and minimizing body roll during fast cornering. Plus, they offer better tire contact with the road surface, improving grip and overall vehicle stability.\nBesides shocks and springs, other components of the suspension system can be upgraded for better performance and durability. These include sway bars, bushings, and control arms. Upgrading these components can provide increased rigidity, reduce body roll, and improve handling. It’s essential to choose high-quality, durable materials for these components to ensure they can withstand the harsh conditions of rally racing.\nWhile not technically part of the suspension system, tires play a significant role in a vehicle’s handling and grip. As the only part of the car in direct contact with the road, the tire’s performance can greatly affect the suspension’s effectiveness.\nHigh-performance tires designed for rally racing often come with aggressive tread patterns for better grip, particularly on loose surfaces like gravel or mud. Furthermore, the tire pressure can be adjusted according to the racing conditions to achieve optimal grip. Remember, a good suspension system coupled with high-quality tires can significantly improve your car’s speed and handling.\nKnowing when to upgrade your suspension can be as crucial as the upgrade itself. Regular inspection of your vehicle’s suspension system will provide clues on when to consider an upgrade. Signs such as excessive body roll, uneven tire wear, or poor handling could be indicators that your suspension needs attention.\nMoreover, if you’re preparing your car for a rally racing event, upgrading your suspension should be a top priority. After all, your vehicle will be subjected to high-speed conditions and rough terrains that demand excellent handling and grip, conditions that a well-optimized suspension system can provide.\nFrom the front shocks to the rear springs, every detail matters when it comes to rally car racing. And while upgrading your vehicle’s suspension might require a significant investment, the improved handling, grip, and speed can make the difference between winning and losing.\nJust as you can fine-tune your rally car’s engine for more power, you can also make adjustments to your car’s suspension for better handling. Here are some essential suspension tuning techniques worth considering:\nThe ride height of your rally car, which refers to the distance between the base of your vehicle and the ground, can significantly affect its handling. By lowering the ride height, you can lower the car’s center of gravity and reduce body roll, which in turn improves the car’s steadiness, particularly when cornering at high speeds.\nStrut-tower bars, also known as tower braces, are used to improve the car’s rigidity and limit body roll. These components connect the top of your vehicle’s strut towers, preventing them from moving independently. By doing so, they help maintain the alignment of the front wheels, enhancing steering accuracy and power delivery.\nSway bars, on the other hand, are anti-roll bars that further minimize body roll in corners. They work by distributing the force exerted on one wheel across all wheels, making your rally car more stable and responsive during high-speed cornering.\nIn terms of enhancing suspension performance, coilovers and air suspensions are two popular options among rally car enthusiasts. Coilovers, which are basically coil springs over shock absorbers, offer adjustable ride height and damping. This means you can modify your car’s suspension based on the rally conditions, allowing for optimal handling and grip.\nAir suspension, meanwhile, uses air instead of springs to support the vehicle’s weight. This type of suspension is adjustable, allowing you to control ride height and stiffness for better car stability and performance.\nGiven the challenging conditions of rally car racing, investing in suspension upgrades can be highly beneficial. Whether it’s replacing your shocks and springs, strengthening suspension components, or adjusting your ride height, these modifications can significantly improve your vehicle’s handling, grip, and overall performance.\nHowever, it’s important to remember that suspension tuning should not be done in isolation. Instead, it should be part of a comprehensive approach that includes upgrading your tires, maintaining your engine, and even improving your driving skills. After all, a well-tuned suspension can only do so much.\nThe real key to success in rally car racing lies in the synergy of all these elements. And with the right combination, you can ensure that your rally car not only survives the high-speed straights and challenging curves of a rally race but also excels in them.\nSo, can you increase the durability of a rally car’s suspension with specific upgrades? The answer is a resounding yes. But more than durability, these upgrades can improve your car’s speed, handling, and overall performance, giving you a competitive edge on the rally track. Upgrade wisely, drive skillfully, and you might just find yourself at the top of the podium.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

An oil change is usually done after the boating season ends for winterizing or once the engine has run for a certain amount of time as indicated the engine manual.\nNote: Oil changing for winterizing can be done by yourself if you feel comfortable with handling mechanical parts of a machine. However, if you are not comfortable with tools or handling of parts, I suggest you get the oil change done through a marina or a marine technician.\nTo get the oil and filter change done, you will need the following tools:\n- A Torque Wrench which can reach a torque of 210 lb. in.\n- Socket Wrench and socket set\n- Oil Drain Pan or something to collect used motor oil in\n- Cloths or tissue paper to wipe excess motor oil\n- Oil Filter Plier for changing the oil filter\n- Funnel to fill oil\n- There is no need for an oil pump. In fact, the oil pump may damage your engine.\nWhat Type of Oil to Use?\nIf you will be using the boat mostly in warm temperature, 40 degrees Fahrenheit /4 degree Celsius or above, use 25W-40 Engine Oil. 10W-30 is suitable for running the engine in colder temperature, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit /4 degree Celsius. Refer to your engine manual for more information. I usually buy the 25W-40 oil change kit available at most Mercury dealers which includes the oil, filter and gasket. You can also buy alternatives like Quick Silver oil and filter. However, the Mercury kit is more cost effective and includes the necessary items required for the oil change.\nOil and Filter Changing Procedure\nOnce you have all the required tools and the oil and filter kit, follow the steps below to perform the oil change. The engine oil capacity for a 15 or 20 HP 4 Stroke Mercury Outboard Motor is about 1.0 Liter or (1.1 U.S. quart).\nDraining the Used Engine Oil\nStep 1: Tilt your motor all the way up and lock it. Locate the drain plug bolt as pointed by the arrow. When the motor is in full tilt up position, the drain hole will face downward.\nStep 2: Have a oil drain pan handy and remove the drain plug using a socket wrench and drain the used engine oil. Be sure to dispose of the used engine oil as per your local city regulations. Wear gloves.\nStep 3: Once no more oil is draining out, reinstall the drain plug temporarily and lower the motor all the way down. Wait for a few minutes and tilt and lock the motor all the way up again. Remove the drain plug and you will notice that the oil which was trapped in the engine is draining out. Do this 1 or 2 times more to have all the used oil drained out. Wipe out the excess oil around the drain hole using a cloth or paper towel.\nStep 4: It is likely that your existing drain plug seal is damaged or worn out. If so, use a new drain plug seal (a new seal comes with the oil change kit from Mercury). Lubricate the seal using new oil and reinstall the drain plug and the seal. Using a torque wrench, tighten as per the torque indicated in your owner’s manual, usually 210 lb. in. It is important that correct torque is used to tighten the bolts otherwise you could over/under tighten and cause damage.\nReplacing the Oil Filter\nStep 1: Bring the motor down to its fully vertical / upright position or also known as the operating position.\nStep 2: Remove the cover of your motor to locate the engine filter. Put some cloth or paper towels underneath the filter to catch any dripping oil. Then using an oil filter plier to remove the oil filter by turning it counter clockwise or to the left. In some models, you may have to remove the Starter Solenoid to gain access to the filter.\nStep 3: After removing the filter, clean the mounting base.\nStep 4: Apply a film of clean oil to the oil filter gasket.\nStep 5: Hand tighten the filter gasket back into the mounting base until the gasket contacts the base. Then tighten using an oil filter plier 3/4 to 1 turn. Reinstall any parts which may have been removed to gain access to the filter.\nStep 1: Make sure you still have the motor in the fully upright / vertical position also known as the operating position.\nStep 2: Remove the oil cap.\nStep 3: Using a funnel, fill the engine with about 1.0 liter (1.1 U.S. quart) of engine oil.\nStep 4: Check the dipstick to ensure that the oil level range is at the midpoint between the operating range.\nAs long as the level is between the low and the high point, you are fine. Do not overfill the engine. 1.0 liter should be sufficient and bring the dipstick level to the midpoint.\nStep 5: Start the engine and idle for about 5 minutes. Check for any oil leakage.\nStep 6: Stop the engine and check the dip stick again. If there was leakage, add oil if needed.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It increases your range and enjoyment. The product is well make and honest. I would offer a small piece of advice. There are few front forks made of steel and they are not designed to accept the level of initial torque that can be applied at a standing start. Start from manually peddling to reduce the load. I broke one fork before calculating the load. Enjoy and benefit from a quality product that increases riding pleasure.\n2/17/2014 12:35 PM\nVery nice complete kit for people who don't want to spec and build it on their own.

I'm 57 years young and bike to work. going to work is level ground or up hill (3 miles)coming home is an easy ride. I work as a chef so I'm on my feet all day, I found my legs were tiring by the end of the day. I used the hill topper for my trip to work when needed at the hills. I find my legs do not get tired at work any more. I have an old Norco screamer full suspension mountain bike which I'll send pics of. had to go to Manitou shocks which still needed a bit of grinding to fit right. love the product, will be a fan forever\nFaster than a speeding bullet ...\n12/2/2013 9:39 PM\n… well, almost. Very fast, anyway. What a joy it is now for my wife to ride up the hills and inclines near our house. We both are amazed at the acceleration of the Hill Topper, and the smile on my wife's face says it all (you can't see her smile, but trust me, she is very, very happy). Thank you Clean Republic, for building a great product at a competitive price. By the way, Beau has been great to deal with -- please commend him for us.\n11/12/2013 11:52 AM\nI use the Hill Topper with the small lithium batter on remote dirt roads for accessing the back country. I usually have a small pack on the handle bars, a larger pack on the rear rack and another pack on my back. Probably about 100 lbs of gear plus my 225 weight. I usually go about 4 plus miles (round trip) in moderately hilly terrain on dirt roads or paths. I peddle on the way in (about 2 miles) then just let the motor do all the work on the way home, no peddling at all. This uses about 85% of the battery capacity. I just purchased a second one for my granddaughter.\nThe real hill topper\n11/9/2013 6:17 PM\nThere are many hills&rainy days in San Jose, Costa Rica. I put the pro-pack with 10mile-lithium-batt on my Trek mountain bike. It's a real hill topper! It took 15 minutes without the kit on the uphill. Now, it takes only 8 minutes and I am not tired. Also, no problem in the heavy rain. Attach&detach of the batt on the bike is very easy for recharging. Parking the bike without the batt is good to prevent a stealing. I compared some e-bike kits and this kit is the best value for money in conclusion.

I was able to get up the really hard hills especially the one to get on the Queensboro bridge with no problems, I actually was surpassing the season riders around me. This thing is a wonder and am so glad someone came up with a simple and easy setup. Thanks guys!!\nAMAZING !! AWESOME !!\n5/1/2013 11:19 AM\nYesterday I took my old clunker bike out for a ride with my new HillTopper with lithium - 10 mile battery attached. I took a 20 mile round-trip ride uphill and downhill (our town is hilly). This is much more than I have ridden in the past. The bike operated far beyond my highest expectations, and there was still some power left in my battery when I finished.\nI am obviously not a bike \"techie\" and don't fit a normal bike-riding profile. But with the HillTopper I plan to get a lot more biking in. Just for the record, I am 6'6\" tall, 215 pounds and 81 years old.\nLove my hill topper bike kit. Could about 6 days to receive it through mail.\n11/30/2012 10:01 PM\nJust received my hill topper bike kit. It was very easy to assemble and adjust the bike brake to accommodate the rim width. For all the ebikes and kits I saw, this kit was simple to install and affordable. I give it a 10 out of 10. I normally do not review products, but I am excited about this product. I have recently started biking with my 6 year old. I have a kids bike attachment that allows my son to trail behind and now pulling his weight, when he does not want to pedal, has made my biking experience more enjoy. Now my son can now relax when he does not want to pedal and I can use the hill topper to help me get up those hills. Thanks...\nHill Topper Electric Bike Kit\n11/24/2012 5:23 PM\nExcellent product and battery life is good and easy to set up.\nI recommend this product.\nAnother 1100 Miles and My Wife Too.\n9/14/2012 10:45 AM\nI have put another 1100 miles on my Hilltopper equiped bike so far this year. When I say 1100 miles, that means that the Hilltopper is on the bike, but actual miles with the button pushed is certainly less than 10% of that. I can just go and not worry about hills and/or wind. My wife was not able to ride for two years because of severe back problems. She got a hilltopper this spring and has been able to put in several hundred miles of riding with me. She is in love with her Hilltopper and in love with biking again. We have gone on two biking vacations this year riding Rail Trails that she would have found impossible without her Hilltopper. We use the SLA batteries and find this to be an affordable option for our use. I really like the option of just putting the Hilltopper on another bike. With very excellent help of Clean Republic's customer service, I changed my Hilltopper from a 26\" wheel to a 700c wheel this spring. I even laced on the new rim with their help. It worked out great. Two local bike shops refused to do the job, as they know nothing of electric rims! I think they are going to miss out on the next big thing in cycling. Electric bikes are starting bring many more people into cycling. We could be happier. If it matters, I am almost 65.\nFront wheel motor best choice!\n7/14/2012 1:55 PM\nI am extremely happy with my Hill Topper bike kit with the 20+ mile range lithium battery. I purchased this system because I work 6-8 hour shifts at a Trader Joe's specialty foods market and by the time I'm ready to pedal my 9 miles home I'm bushed! Having electric assist means I can avoid overstressing myself during my commute. I'm also a very strong cyclist and part time bike shop employee who enjoys fast road bike riding and touring in my spare time, but need to have enough energy after work for mowing a nearly 2 acre lawn and enjoying my family. The system was easily installed in my Breezer Uptown with 7spd internal gears, a great durable bike perfect for bike commuting. I chose to purchase from Clean Republic because I wanted to insure great customer support and it turned out I did need some. Clean Republic had to replace my initial lithium battery because their supplier at the time sent them a bad lot of batteries. They now have a new supplier and the replacement battery is better made and is gives me a range of over 22 miles. I also lopped off the original \"momentary\" switch with one I liked better from Radio Shack. That cost me less than $4 at Radio Shack. You will need to soder on the new swich. My 9 mile (each way) commute time, including many stop signs and traffic lights, has gone from 70 minutes down to 40 minutes. I've also read that the average electrc bike gets the equivalent of over 1700 miles per gallon and my car is staying parked all the time now. I've used studded bicycle tires over 7 years to travel to/from work during Minnesota winters and already know the Hill Topper system with \"front wheel drive\" should be awesome. Realize that the system is essentially \"all wheel drive\" when I add my own power to the pedals! Anthony at CR is to be commended for his excellent customer service. If someone asks me, \"Isn't bicycling with a motor cheating?\" I respond, \"Driving a 4000 pound car to haul my 170lbs 9 miles at even 40 mpg is cheating and wasteful.\n6/26/2012 11:36 AM\nI am 53, not in bad shape, but found I made excuses for not riding my bike to work. It is a 7 mile round trip with a 3/4 mile hill at the end of about 500 ft elevation gain. On 90+ degree days and after a 12 hr shift I found I just wanted to drive, not ride. I did a little calculating, and figured the Hill Topper, though expensive, may pay for itself in a few years. The batteries (20 mile lithium) were on back-order so it took about a month to arrive. Install was easy. I have an old Panasonic touring bike that has 27 inch wheels. I had to file the drop out slightly for the wheel to fit, but it was only a few strokes with a 12 inch mill-bastard file. I had to adjust the brakes for the wheel size difference also. I bought the quick release for the wheel witch I really like. I have used the bike for about a month now. I use it virtually the whole commute except the downhill. I am riding in my 2nd from highest gear on the flats and not pushing hard on the pedals. I climb the long hill in my 3rd from lowest gear. I figure I am going about twice as fast with about half the effort on the climb. I have not challenged the range yet, as I have only used it on my commute, and recharge it every night. I plan on trying not charging it for a while to check the range soon. Overall, I love it. My hand gets a little tired because you must hold the button for power constantly, so you can't move that hands position w/o the motor stopping. You also can't use that hand to switch gears. I take the motor off and lock it in my locker at work, which adds a bit of hassle, 'tho minor. I would definitely recommend the Hill Topper.\nPerforms as advertised\n6/11/2012 6:52 PM\nI recently installed the SLA Hilltopper kit on my Giant Roam2 bike and it pretty much does exactly what I expected. Installation is self explanatory, especially with the videos on the website. Performance wise I have no complaints. I can now ride comfortably up just about any hill in the area and only on the steepest hills do I even have to pedal hard, whereas previously I would have to get off and walk up. Of course everyone always wants more power and more speed but for a $400 kit that's this easy to install it's fine. Before the Hilltopper I could only get to some areas if I could put my bike up on the rack on a bus but now there's nowhere in the city I wouldn't ride. I already want to upgrade to the Lithium battery though, not so much for the extra range which is nice but the savings in weight.\nrear disk brake\n6/3/2012 10:23 PM\ni would like to know if you can use the disk brake on you bike for this?\nThanks for a great product!\n5/30/2012 9:48 AM\nI received my kit on Friday 4May and installed with no problems (had to buy 4 washers). Ease of install was a breeze, as advertised. I converted a very old Giant 10 speed mountain bike that I bought about 20 years ago. I spent the weekend putting the HT through it's paces on the hilly streets of my neighborhood, and the toughest part of my ride home from work. It handled all challenges with no problems. Going up big hills is now like riding on flat ground. I am a 53yr old guy, 200lbs., and have been shying away from my bike as the hills had become too much for me to take. Now, I'm back in the game thanks to HT. My first ride into and home from work yesterday was a joy, and now I look forward to riding home instead of dreading it! I also have more confidence coming out of intersections, where a boost of speed can definitely help when you're dealing with traffic.\nI also can now spend more time riding with the kids (14 & 12). They want a HT too, but I told them they can have one when they are my age!\nUpdate: 3 weeks into owning the HT, I am enjoying it more than ever. No problems or issues have been encountered. I much prefer riding my bike to driving in my car for most trips.\n5/27/2012 6:50 PM\nThis product is true as the sun for what it does and really works great. However for the money u will spend on it u could almost buy a nice used car. I just can't justify spending over $2000.00 for a front wheel and a battery it's just too much\nI love this Hill Topper Electric bike kit\n(st. francisville, LA)\n5/16/2012 6:34 PM\nI put this motor on an adult tricycle because I have weak gait muscles. It was very easy to set up; I just had to tweak my brakes a bit. I'm now able to get from my house to the local store which is about 1.1 miles away. With out this kit I could never be able to ride a bike more than a few feet. Thanks for a great invention. :)\nDarn Hill Solution\n1/10/2012 2:21 PM\ni have put over 700 miles on my bike with this wheel.\nVisiting here to see if I can drive some traffic this way via the 'Affiliate' program. I have a number of web sites that need some ads that WILL generate income for both of us.\nI feel great, after what my doctor(s) put me through,(I tell them, \"I flunked my autopsy!\") I am fit and able to ascend Mesa's Ellsworth hill (FISHING), Usury Mountain trails (EXERCISE) and Most of eastern Maricopa County on mountain bike.\nSince going 'electric', I've purchased a Bicycle hitch, (for our pickup). It has allowed us to take our bikes to western Colorado, Grand Mesa, 'Buffalo Bill Days' in Golden, Colorado, New Mexico and downtown Phoenix. I can park in places where I do not need 'parking meter change' anymore!\nYour products are simply; \"A 'Life style' changer!\"\n11/30/2011 3:40 AM\nReview from mid 50s man overweight but playing social tennis who was finding excuses to use the car for shortish local trips rather than his bike\nI have had the Hill Topper for a year now it was very easy to install and is still working fine had to replace the SLA batteries after I dropped them on the concrete garage floor. As I live in the UK picked up some standard SLA batteries designed for a disability scooter from e bay cheaply which I wired in easily and are working fine.\nThe charger stooped working after six months but that was replaced quickly and without quibble under the warranty.\nHave done over a thousand miles, all in short round trips under 10 miles but with a couple of biggish hills (over a 100 ft elevation). In short it has replaced my car for any local trip I can climb the local hills easily and on a calm sunny day that is all I use it for but on a windy day it is used all the time gives huge flexibility and makes me want to use the bike.\nI know I should not gloat but it is good to overtake younger fitter riders with clearly more expensive bikes on a hill with panniers clearly full of shopping.\nWhat is bizarre is the comments I get from people, I have been accused of being lazy and cheating etc. by people all of whom have bikes but use cars for shortish trips.\nWould thoroughly recommend.\n10/7/2011 5:03 PM\nI've got over 650 miles on my Hilltopper now. Almost all of these miles would have been in my car without the Hilltopper. I can just go and not worry about the hills on my route or what the wind will be like when I come home. I have an 11 mile round trip every morning. Many days I don't use the Hilltopper more than a couple tenths of a mile. Other days with a stiff wind, I may have it on for a mile or two. Hasn't given me any trouble yet. Charges in less than two hours (SLA).\nphysically challenge biker\n9/29/2011 6:42 AM\nI purchased the hill topper kit in April. I am a post polio survivor with a weakened left leg. This product is amazing, It has made biking fun again. I no longer have to plan my route to avoid hills or wind. It is great for hills, and also really helps with keeping monentum as I ride, but still get the exercise I need.\nGreat product Clean Rebublic.\n9/25/2011 10:31 AM\nI want to reach out to all the big guys thinking about getting the Hill Topper Electric Bike Kit. I weight in at 287 LB and the motor is powerful enough to pull me up all the hills on my commute. I used to have to get dropped off and picked up at the park and ride 5 days a week, but now I ride my bike saving gas and time and get all the exercise I need to lose the weight. I have been riding 3 weeks and lost 5 pounds and would never have done this with Clean Republic amazing Hill Topper Kit giving me the boost I needed.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Excavator buckets are a stellar example of this machinery, being used solely to dig up items or clean a particular area. While this device may seem straightforward, it’s a bit more complicated than that! There are multiple different types of excavator buckets out there, all with different uses depending on the context. In the following sections, we’re going to be taking a look at excavator buckets and how they can make a major difference to your construction projects. Let’s have a gander!\nWhat Are Excavator Buckets?\nExcavator buckets are an attachment that is added to a crane in order to dig up material or clean a specific area. They are mostly used during the earlier stages of the construction process before a building gets built. There are a variety of different types of excavator buckets based on the environment and the surface it’ll be used including rock and dirt. We’re going to be digging deep into these several types right down below.\nTypes Of Excavator Buckets\nDigging excavator buckets are construction attachments that have a claw-like appearance and as in the title, dig through complex and tough grounding. These surfaces can span from rocks to soil. While it has a simple job, digging extensions can be used for a range of different situations. Depending on the size of the attachment, this determines what type of surface this machinery will be used on. This attachment is highly beneficial to reduce the amount of time spent digging during a construction project.\nNext on the list, we have clean-up excavator buckets which are attachments that as in the name clean up messy areas. After working on a construction project for a long day, there are large portions of debris just lying about. In order to make the clean-up process easy and quick, clean-up extensions are attached. These extensions work to clean up and tidy regions that were worked on before. A major benefit that comes with having these attachments in your construction project is that it reduces maintenance costs. That way you can leave the construction done and dusted, knowing it’s ready for use, allowing you to move over to your next project.\nFor a more intensive and thorough digging job, skeleton attachments are perfect! They allow you to finely comb through the ground, allowing you to separate finer and thicker materials away from each other. This attachment requires more attention and care due to its more complicated process. As there are gaps in the attachments, this can allow wider portions of the material to go through it. If there is a particular material that needs to be dug up out of the surface, this is when skeleton attachments are most useful. As a result, this saves time not having to remove materials manually, quickening the progress of your construction project.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Oblong 12mo. N.p., N.d.\nStunning, Archivally-Framed and Matted Signature of Orville Wright\nSigned by Orville Wright\nThe Wright Brothers’ ongoing interest in all things mechanical was put to its first practical application in their Dayton, Ohio shop when they began producing bicycles on a small scale in 1896. That same year, Wilbur became fascinated with aviation after reading about German aviator Otto Lilienthal’s accidental death. Serious aeronautical work and experimentation began in 1899 when Wilbur wrote the Smithsonian Institution to request copies of everything available on the topic, having exhausted his own sources. In 1901, the first Wright glider was tested at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and, after several years of intense experimentation, the brothers returned to test a motor-powered airplane. On December 17, 1903, they made four successful flights, the first sustained flight of a heavier-than-air machine under a pilot’s control. The historic first flight was captured on film by John T. Daniels using the Wright brothers’ camera, and the iconic image became one of aviation and history’s most famous. The Wright brothers’ accomplishment is eloquently summarized on a plaque displayed with the 1903 airplane at the Smithsonian: “By original scientific research, the Wright brothers discovered the principles of human flight. As inventors, builders and flyers, they further developed the aeroplane, taught man to fly, and opened the era of aviation.”\nArchivally matted and framed with a spectacular colorized image of the flight at Kitty Hawk.

You will find that they adapt to your vehicle’s maneuvers, enduring extreme pressure and still being able to deliver responsive steering.\nThere is no doubt that the outer tie end is the main component of the steering system. As a result of constant movement and stress, they will eventually become worn out. You can replace a worn tie rod end yourself if an inspection indicates that it’s worn.\nYou may also like to learn about; How to Replace a Radiator of Your Car?\nWhen To Replace Outer Tire Rode?\nIn steering wheels, tie rod ends provide the connection between the steering knuckle and steering rack, and are largely responsible for turning the wheels. With the turning of the steering wheel, the steering system reacts via rack and pinion, ultimately causing the outer tie rod ends to push or pull to turn the wheel. If a tie rod fails, the vehicle could lose control and the wheel could break completely free, two extremely dangerous situations that can be avoided by preventive maintenance. Some common symptoms of worn outer tie rods include:\n- Lose control of steering wheel\n- The uneven wear of tires\n- Vehicle pulling\n- Hear sounds like rattling noise or chuckling noise\nGenerally, you will notice that the problems occurring with the steering wheel and suspension system share the same signs and noises. So, it would be a better decision to visually inspect the part of the problem. Visual inspection of the tie rod will demonstrate whether the boot cover has been damaged. If the boot cover has been damaged, it will reduce performance or cause the part to fail.\nTest Outer Tie Rod For Excess Wear\nIf you experience any one of the symptoms that have been listed above, then you have to go through a test that will determine if the issue occurs with the outer tie component or with another vehicle part.\n- At first, raise the vehicle just enough to prevent the wheel from touching the ground.\n- Secondly, make sure to put your hands in positions nine and three and move the wheel left and right. If it is in good shape, then the wheel would be turned easily. But, if there is excess wear, then the wheel will shake as though the lug nuts are loose. This is the most common problem that arises and shows the sign to replace the tie rod.\nHow To Replace an Outer Tie Rod End\nThe tire rod ends are the most critical components of the vehicle’s steering system. It connects the wheels to the steering rack, with one on each side. There are composed of two main parts:\n- Inner End\n- Outer End\nEventually, they can wear and tear, decreasing their functionality and compromising their performance.\nFurthermore, you will get to know how to replace your vehicle’s outer tire rod end. If you have the right tools and equipment with you and some basic knowledge, then the job can be fairly done without facing any difficulty even if you are a beginner. If you have a professional mechanic near your neighborhood then you can get service from there but it would be costly. However, why would you even bother if you can do the replacement on your own?\nSteps Of The Replacement Of Outer Tie Rod End\n1. Park Your Car On Plane Surface\nAlways make sure to park your car on a flat surface for your safety. It’s a blessing to have a car ramp in the garage because it will make working so much easier.\nIt’s a blessing to have a car ramp in the garage because it will make working so much easier. Otherwise, you will need to use a floor jack so you can raise the front end.\n2. Remove the Wheel\nAfter this, your car is in a stable position, now you can easily start taking out your wheels. Firstly, tale out all the lug nuts and then the wheel. Otherwise, you will need to use a floor jack so you can raise the front end. You can easily repair it by turning the steering wheel to the left so that the tie rod can be pushed outside.\n3. Remove the Tie Rod End\nUse a wrench to loosen the pinch nut. This is responsible for holding the outer tie rod end in place and keeping it from moving out of place. Once it loosens, it would be easier for you to have it twisted.\n4. Take Out Cotter Pin\nThe next step is that you have to remove the next part which is ‘cotter pin’. It is located between the steering knuckle and the rod. To remove the cotter pin, straighten the pin with needle-nose pliers. You should complete pulling off the castle nut using a socket and a wrench after you have removed the cotter pin. Doing so will allow you to remove the outer tie rod end.\n5. Remove the Outer Tie Rod End\nThere is one special tool that can make the whole replacement process easier, but most of you won’t have it at your home. Another option is to screw the castle nut on the bottom of the nut. You can push the rod out with a hammer or mallet. Loosen the castle nut and pull the rod out.\n6. Replace the Outer Tie Rod End\nOnce it has been successfully removed, the next step you have to do is to replace it. At the start, inspect whether the new one is similar to the old one. The length of the outer tie rod should be the same so that alignment would be straight.\nAttach the tie rod to the end. Continue turning until it is fully secured. Attach the tie rod to the knuckle. Simply hand-tighten the castle nut to replace the previous one. Make sure that the cotter pin hole is aligned and that it is secured. You can secure the tie rod in place by tightening the nut toward the tie rod end.\n7. Put the Tires Back On Position\nEverything must be in place. Make sure that the connections are secure. Once you have checked the tires, return them, and you are done!\nHow an outer tie rod end can be replaced has been discussed above, and it’s evident that if you have the right tools and have knowledge on how to do the job it’s not difficult. Remember, however, to observe caution, as if you do this incorrectly, the performance of your steering system could be compromised.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

A good portion of the information presented applies to the European market only, but some of the new products and technologies highlighted will find their way into North American Volkswagen and Audi products.\nTwenty-five years ago, Volkswagen achieved a breakthrough in passenger-car diesel engines. It is celebrating this anniversary with three technical highlights:\n1) the world's first 10-cylinder TDI diesel engine, with a displacement of five liters and a power output of 230 kW (313 bhp) - currently the most powerful passenger-car diesel in the world\n2) a new generation of transmissions capable of handling the enormous increase in power and torque from the new diesel engines, with provision for all-wheel drive\n3) the many-faceted VW exhaust emission control strategy, which will comply with forthcoming pollution limits by means of internal engine design measures and after-treatment of the exhaust gas.\nIn the spring of 1976, when series production of VW's first diesel passenger-car engine began - the legendary 1.5-liter, 50-bhp naturally aspirated unit for use in the Golf - this was the start of the diesel's triumphal progress, initially in VW Group products but later throughout the automobile world. Whereas many people were reluctant to accept this trend towards a type of engine that in the past had always been a rather rough runner, and doubted its suitability, the compression-ignition engine has long since ceased to be an unusual phenomenon on the passenger-car market and has become a genuine trendsetter with a higher efficiency level than any rival form of power unit. Above all, its response at low engine speeds and the immense reserves of pulling power it can make available instantly are convincing reasons why the modern passenger-car diesel engine has become such a convincing source of driving pleasure.\nToday, the passenger-car diesel has already passed the 10-, 20- and 30-percent market share marks in Germany and is likely to break the 40-percent barrier any time now. Before long it could even account for half of the power units in cars sold on the German market. Progress in its development, for example the introduction of direct injection, turbocharging and exhaust gas recirculation, is also proving of benefit to the spark-ignition engine.\nStimulated by the oil crisis in the early 1970s and encouraged by the first statutory exhaust emission limits, with which the diesel in those days was actually able to comply more readily than the spark-ignition engine, a development process began that had the initial task of making good the performance handicap of a relatively small engine and reducing the diesel's higher noise emissions. Although the 1.5-liter diesel provided the kind of performance expected of it right from the start and was capable of accelerating the Golf from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in only 18 seconds and maintaining a continuous top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph), it was evident that higher power would be needed in the next development stage. This speeded up the transition to forced aspiration by turbocharger in the early 1980s; by 1982 the \"Turbodiesel\" (TD) had appeared and developed 70 bhp from a displacement of 1.6 liters.\nAt the beginning of the 1990s, Volkswagen together with its Audi brand took a further most decisive step forward by introducing direct injection. The first four-cylinder diesel engine with this form of fuel injection appeared in 1991, and was known as the TDI, the initials standing for turbocharged direct injection. Once again, the major problem to be overcome initially concerned the engine's noise emissions, but despite this it was clear that direct injection was the only practicable way to access all the performance reserves inherent in the diesel combustion principle. Compared with comparable indirect injection engines, the TDI had a fuel-saving potential of up to 15 percent, and as the noise problem was brought under control the TDI engines were able to achieve their rightful lead over their competitors.\nA further development stage led to the adoption of the variable-geometry turbocharger, which further improved the flexibility of the four-cylinder TDI engine and enabled the power output of what was by now a 1.9-liter unit to be boosted from 90 to 110 bhp. This development progress was marked by coloring the \"I\" red in the TDI logo.\nVolkswagen once again scaled new heights in diesel engine development by adopting high-pressure fuel injection. Knowing that combustion quality depends directly on the absolute pressure at which fuel can be injected into the cylinders, VW decided to adopt the pump-injector principle, which from the very start was able to guarantee the necessary high injection pressures. At the same time, a defined volume of fuel was injected as a pilot stroke before the main injection stroke - the ideal method of achieving a smooth combustion process in a high-performance diesel engine. The two red letters \"DI\" in the logo are a sign that the pump-injector principle is being used.\nAs a sign of true leading-edge technology, there are also production models with all three letters of the TDI badge in red. With high-performance charge-air intercooling and optimized fuel injection, the most powerful version of the 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine has since the beginning of this year been rated at 150 bhp, the highest power output currently available. The current generation of two-valve, four-cylinder engines is produced in three power outputs, namely 100, 130 and 150 bhp, and is clear evidence of the potential possessed by Volkswagen's TDI engines using the pump injector principle.\nFormula One in diesel engine technology: leading-edge features of the new V-10 TDI\nVolkswagen is celebrating twenty-five years of diesel engine development for its passenger-car range with a new top-level engine for the luxury car and SUV vehicle categories - a ten-cylinder TDI unit with twin ('biturbo') turbochargers and pump-injector fuel injection for the ultimate in tractive force and pulling power. With an output of 230 kW (313 bhp) and a maximum torque of 750 newton-metres (553 lb/ft of torque), this five-liter passenger-car diesel engine has a hitherto unattained performance level.\nIt clearly imposes severe loads on the transmission and driveline components, making a version of the various all-wheel-drive systems developed to production maturity within the Volkswagen Group the only practicable means of transferring this power and torque reliably to the road.\nIt's no coincidence that this new top-level diesel from Volkswagen has ten cylinders and thus an important design element in common with modern Formula One engines. VW's development teams could be said to be emulating their motor sport colleagues by exploring such new paths. Although they were able to make full use of the vast experience already gained from the construction of the existing 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-cylinder TDI engines, the sheer size and power of the new unit made an unconventional design approach and totally new manufacturing methods necessary.\nWeight-saving, compact construction\nWhereas the most widely used of the current TDI engines, the 1.9-liter four-cylinder unit, has a crankcase and cylinder block made from high-quality grey cast iron, the new top-level engine makes use of the weight-saving concept developed for the 1.2-liter, three-cylinder that powers the Lupo \"three-liter\" model. It was of course important for weight saving not to be obtained at the expense of noise. The 10-cylinder engine therefore has a particularly rigid aluminum crankcase with an innovative grey cast iron bearing tunnel into which combustion forces are introduced directly by way of the cylinder head studs.\nThis change to an aluminum cylinder block enables another important new technology to be adopted - plasma coating of the cylinder walls. This process, developed by Volkswagen and used here for the first time on a production diesel engine, creates a surface layer in the cylinders with a thickness of a few tenths of a millimeter and makes the cylinder walls permanently resistant to deformation and wear.\nArranging the cylinders in a V pattern in two rows of five has the advantage that the main auxiliaries such as the water pump and the water-cooled alternator can be located within the V and driven by shaft without lateral forces developing.\nIn order to accommodate the intake pipes within the V as well, the cylinder heads were converted to the cross-flow principle as also used successfully on the four-cylinder TDI engines with pump injector fuel supply and two valves per cylinder. The two exhaust manifolds are on the outer faces of the two cylinder banks of this V10 engine.\nEliminating vibration and torque reactions\nAmong the new engine's most important criteria are not only peak power and torque figures and the supreme performance they permit, but also exceptional freedom from vibration. The choice of a 90-degree included angle between the cylinder banks permits the free inertial forces to be fully balanced out. In addition, the crankshaft throws are offset in such a way that second-order free moments of inertia are negligibly small.\nIn order to suppress the remaining first-order free inertial moments as completely as possible, the engine has, in addition to the usual counterweights on the crankshaft webs, a balance shaft that rotates at the same speed as the crankshaft but in the opposite direction. In addition, vibration under load is smoothed out by the uniform ignition spacing of 72 degrees between the cylinders; this is achieved by offsetting the crankpins by 18 degrees. By these methods, engine oscillation caused by the moving masses can be limited to only a few thousandths of a millimeter, and the V10 TDI engine is capable of standing up to any comparison with a 12-cylinder engine. The torsional vibration damper on the crankshaft is of viscous pattern and occupies a space only 24 millimeters deep.\nThe method used to drive the camshafts also helps to make this engine exceptionally compact. Instead of a timing chain or toothed belt, a helical-cut spur gear train is provided at the flywheel end of the engine. This is also capable of transmitting the high peak loads that occur in the timing gear because the pump-injector units also have to be actuated. The timing case in which the gearwheels is a high-strength casting bolted directly to the engine's bearing tunnel as a means of attenuating the transmission of noise to the engine block. A plate-type joint in the timing gear compensates for the difference in thermal expansion compared with the aluminum engine block. From the timing gear, intermediate shafts and gears drive the auxiliaries such as the air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, water pump and 190 Amp/h alternator.\nSince this engine is destined for use not only in the new high-performance saloon model but also as a powerful, economical unit for the SUV model currently under development, which is required to have good off-road capabilities, its lubricating system must be capable of coping with even extreme operating situations. With its duplex oil delivery pump and two scavenging pumps, its operating reliability has been confirmed in numerous tests performed at extreme operating angles. A sensor is provided to warn the driver when the oil level falls too low, and the engine oil change intervals can be prolonged to as much as 50,000 kilometres (31,000 miles).\nCombustion gas flow and engine management\nThe new V10 TDI engine owes its lead in the mixture formation, combustion and power-output areas to leading-edge fuel injection technology, forced aspiration, exhaust gas recirculation and advanced engine management. This includes use of the latest pump injector system for the fuel supply with five-hole injector nozzles delivering the fuel to the combustion chambers at pressures up to 2050 bar.\nTwin turbochargers supply the combustion air, one for each cylinder bank (the \"biturbo\" principle). The variable turbine blades are not actuated pneumatically as in previous versions of the turbocharger, but electrically, which provides more accurate control of blade movement. In addition to the charge-air intercooler there are coolers integrated into the exhaust gas recirculation lines to increase efficiency. The engine can be regarded as two five-cylinder units coupled together mechanically but with separate air intake and exhaust systems; these two units are jointly controlled by interconnected electronic diesel-engine management systems of the latest type, supplied by the Bosch company.\nThe Volkswagen V10 TDI engine exhaust emissions are below the latest limits and it can, if more stringent demands arise, be equipped with exhaust after-treatment systems such as the CRT particle filter with continuous regeneration which Volkswagen has developed.\n[Back to Main TDI Page] [Links] [E-Mail Me]", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The factory converts it into a workable layout, which it then uses for continuous or semi-continuous production output. The furnace melts the coke and iron ore to get the molten steel. By using the blast of the oxygen, removing the high content of carbon is possible. The molten steel then flows into the molds, where it cools and turns into ingots.\nThe ingots pass through large rollers under extreme pressure. It helps in achieving the desired output, such as bars, rods, sheets, or plates.\nThe next procedure consists of producing slabs or blooms. Manufacturing a bloom is possible by passing an ingot through grooved rollers. These rollers also go by the name “two-high mills,” and sometimes, a factory chooses three rollers. The mounting of the rollers is such that they move in the opposite direction, and the grooves coincide. The rolling action causes the squeezing of the steel and stretches to longer pieces. Reversing the rolling motion causes the bar to become thin and long. The process continues until it achieves the needed shape. A manipulator machine helps in flipping the steel to process it evenly.\nThe blooms pass through further rollers, which increases the length and reduces thickness. Flying shears help in cutting the billets to desired lengths. After the stretching process is complete, it proceeds through a series of tanks that contain sulfuric acid. The acid removes the unwanted deposits on the steel pipes – both externally and internally. After passing through the acid, the pipe heads to the cold and hot water tank. The process helps in rinsing, which removes the acid particles.\nThe next step involves drying the pipe before passing on giant spools. Both billets and skelp help make pipes. A skelp first sits on an unwinding machine. As the steel spool begins unwinding, heating takes place. The steel then passes through grooved rollers. When it passes through the grooves, the pressure of the rollers causes the skelp to curl together. It forms an unwelded pipe.\nThe unwelded pipe passes through welding electrodes. They seal the two ends of the tube together. The welded seam passes through a roller to create a tight weld.\nSquare billets are useful for seamless steel pipe production. The billets pass through the furnace and acquire a round shape. The rollers roll the heated round under high pressure. It causes the billet to form a hole at the center and stretch long. The thickness and shape are irregular. The factory uses a bullet-shaped piercer to correct during roller. After the piercing phase, the round passes through a series of rolling mills to alter the thickness and shape.\nThe straightening machine achieves straightness. Oil coating or zinc coating helps in the prevention of rust formation. So it was the step guide to produce steel pipes in the factory.

It is 507 meters long and the section between the two 30-meter high towers can rise to a height of 23 meters just like an elevator, allowing large vessels to pass underneath. Before the bridge was built, the locals were trying to find a solution to build a railway bridge to allow trains to cross this wide river, with a drastic difference in water level between high and low tide, while not hindering the passage of large vessels, which frequently travelled on Chikugo River. This is when they came up with the bold and innovative idea of a lift bridge. However, the Ariake Sea, with its tidal range of up to 6 meters, meant that the water level of Chikugo River was constantly changing, not to mention the 16-meter thick layer of clay at the bottom of the river was slowing work down, making the work method and construction extremely difficult. Overcoming these great difficulties, a railway bridge for the former national railway, Saga line, was completed on May 25th, 1935 as the first lift bridge in the East, amidst much fan-fare. Since then, the bridge has served an important part in supporting people's lives through enabling both water and land transportation. However, on March 27th, 1987, operation of the Saga railway line ceased at the same time that the moving part of the bridge reached its highest point, and its role as a rail bridge, which it had served faithfully for over 50 years, came to a quiet end. On April 29, 1996, the bridge was reopened as a walking course for pedestrians. The name of that walking course is \"Tower Bridge Walking\". Eight times a day, the moving part lowers and connects Morodomi town with Okawa city, Fukuoka prefecture, located on the opposite bank. An amicable walking course by day, and a beautiful, lit-up spectacle reflected on the water's surface by night, the Chikugo River Lift Bridge provides delightful romantic atmosphere for couples. The silhouette of the bridge in the sunset is another sight not to be missed. In the huge, mid-summer event carried out beside the bridge, \"A Summer Night's Fairytale\", huge rings of around 3000 shells of fireworks light up the night sky and invite onlookers into a magical world. The bridge is also open to pedestrians when the moving part is raised, and people can go as far as the middle section. On May 30th, 2003, the bridge was designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.\nFrom train station: 20-minute taxi ride from Saga Station on the JR Nagasaki Main Line\nCar: 30-minute drive from Nagasaki Expressway Saga-Yamato IC\nBus: Get on Saga City Bus bound for Hayatsue at Saga Station Bus Center, get off at “Shokaibashi Tenbo Koen Mae” stop, and walk for 3 minutes\n● Closed: Mondays (or the following day if a Monday falls on a public holiday) and December 29 - January 3\n● Parking Lot: Available\n● Contact: Morodomi Branch Office, Saga City Government, Tel: +81-952-47-2131", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The model was a close derivative of Giugiaro’s Brera, so the #Pininfarina input on the design was, of course, limited to the rear quarters and the canvas roof, which folded away electrically in just 25 seconds. I must say that, back then, I wasn’t entirely convinced of the final result, and I appreciate it much more now.\nLike the Brera, the Spider was initially available in two powertrain configurations: a front-wheel-drive 2.2 liters four cylinders and a 3.2 V6 with permanent “Q4” all-wheel drive. Both units were developed under the Fiat-GM Powertrain joint-venture and used existing GM aluminum blocks mated to specific Alfa-designed cylinder heads, featuring variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust. Both engines failed to impress potential buyers, though, and the addition of Fiat’s inline-five turbodiesel during 2007 didn’t improve matters. Like the Brera it’s so closely related with, the Spider was misunderstood in period and sold poorly as a result: just 12.488 examples were ever made, and it’s a real pity, as there’s a lot to like about this Spider. Relatively spacious and very comfortable, it’s a stylish cruiser rather than a canyon carver, but that’s not what people typically have in mind when they hear the words “Alfa Romeo Spider.”\nThe exclusive merchandise you can buy to support my channel:\nMy automotive books:\nSix Appeal – The Story Of The Alfa 6\nAlfa Romeo Giulietta – The Story 1977 – 1985\nAlfa Romeo Arna – The Full Story 1980 – 1987 0", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The NEW Baby Lock Gloria Overlocker & Coverstitch Machine marks a new milestone.\nApart from some well-known features from the successful baby lock coverlock machines, the new machine will impress you with the so-called RevolutionAirTM threading system. This fully automated jet-air threading system lets you thread not only the loopers but also the needle eyes easily with just a press of a button.\nThe knee lift and the speed regulation offer unique comfort for complicated stitching projects. When the presser foot is in the raised position, the machine doesn’t start sewing for additional safety. The automatic thread delivery system makes operation even easier because the thread tension no longer has to be adjusted by hand.\nSwitching over from the cover stitch to the overlock stitch is already easy as it is. But the new machine now reduces the number of steps needed to change the needles even further. After taking the needles out of the needle clamp, the fastening screws don‘t have to be tightened by hand anymore.\nThe Gloria provides up to eight threads and thus offers a wide variety of decorative effects and stitch combinations such as the popular baby lock wave stitch.\nThe RevolutionAirTM system helps you thread the looper port at the touch of a button. The system’s automatic needle threader, which also works by simply pressing a button, is really unique.\nThe proven automatic thread delivery system and stitch selector dispel any worries about thread tension adjustment.\nThe presser foot pressure and differential feed (0.6 – 2.0 :1) can be adjusted to your needs at any time.\nThe wide throat space provides maximum flexibility, letting you accomplish even larger projects. The bright LED technology rounds off the overall coverlock package perfectly.\nThe Baby Lock Gloria Overlocker & Coverstitch Machine Features\nThe RevolutionAirTM threading system has been installed in a coverlock machine for the first time and makes threading your Gloria child’s play. From now on, a gust of air will not only thread the loopers but also the eyes of the needles. What’s more, you can thread the machine automatically in any order you like.\nThe Gloria’s workplace layout has been optimised by placing the presser foot lifter on the side.\nThe Gloria’s clearly designed thread path makes it easy for you to thread the chain looper.\nMore or thicker layers of fabric can fit between the foot and feed dog.\nThe coverlock machine will not start sewing as long as the presser foot is in its raised position. This ensures both your safety and perfect seams. The presser foot must be lowered and/or positioned on the fabric before you can continue sewing.\nThe new presser foot pressure dial of the babylock Gloria allows you to handle all kinds of material or fabric individually. Regardless of whether your fabrics are fine, firm or heavy – the presser foot pressure is easily adjusted to the respective requirements. Thanks to the easy-read scale, you can precisely find the basic setting and adjust the controller for lighter and heavier materials.\nThis is what makes the baby lock Gloria perfect: more freedom for your creativity. The wider throat lets you handle larger and more voluminous sewing projects without difficulty. It is no longer your machine but you who decides the size of your sewing projects!\nHow to Buy The Baby Lock Gloria Overlocker & Coverstitch Machine\nThis wonderful machine is NOT available online.

The city of Toronto estimates that 25-35% of household energy use comes from hot water. Much of the hot water energy use is derived from “stand by loads”. This is the energy used to heat the water in hot water tanks when the water is not in use.\nOn demand hot water systems are designed to take very little space, and to heat water at time of demand, only when the hot water tap is on. Condensing on-demand gas hot water heaters are the best on demand solutions. Condo owners, empty nesters, frequent travellers and water conservers will benefit most from on-demand hot water systems. As an example, I have retired clients who travel often and have a cottage. Their on-demand hot water heater investment is paying for itself very quickly because there is no standby load for the 2/3 of the year that they are not in their condo.\nSolar hot water heaters are ideally suited for families and heavy users of domestic hot water. The key opportunity is that water is heated for free, meaning guilt free and bill free hot showers for everyone. The reason family sized consumers of hot water benefit most from these systems is that the displacement of hot water heating costs is the measure of system payback. For example, a family of 4 will have significant demand for hot water for bathing, dishes, and washing. When not using solar the energy the costs for providing hot water to a household like this is significant. Therefore the return on investment, measured in displaced utility costs, is significant. Imagine selling your home with Solar hot water; being able to say “this home comes with free domestic hot water”. The most powerful part of this sales pitch is the math, comparing the operational costs associated with heating the same water volume using electricity or natural gas allows your Realtor to demand a higher price for your home.\nEvery home and condo owner who currently has an electric powered hot water tank should consider migrating to one or both of these technologies immediately – the investment is a no-brainer. Anyone using a gas fired hot water heater should consider switching, because these systems are the emerging standard and you don’t want to be left behind. There are significant grants available for home owners who invest in these systems through the ecoEnergy program – so get an audit before you make the change.

Weighing 73 tonnes and delivering 1,000 horsepower, it was designed to work light mixed freight traffic at up to 75 mph. It has the well-used nickname of “Chopper”, due to the distinctive engine beat under load which resembles the sound of a helicopter.

Photo © David Coombs.\nD8001 was built by English Electric (EE) in 1957 at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton le Willows and was one of a prototype batch of Class 20 locomotives which owed its origins to the 1955 modernisation plan, in which manufacturers were asked to produce trial builds for evaluation. The design was based on one which EE had designed for export and consequently proved extremely successful at home. The prototype batch was first allocated to Devons Road Depot in London (which was the first purpose built diesel depot in the UK) and the locomotives of this class were eventually used throughout almost the entire network. D8001 worked in the construction of the Channel Tunnel and was for some time at the Midland Railway Centre, Butterley.

In doing so, the brand says it has created the world’s fastest gravel bike.\nCreated for gravel racing, the Ostro Gravel draws inspiration from the Ostro VAM, the brand’s aero road bike but with lower speed aerodynamics, fast handling and more focus on comfort.\nThe Ostro Gravel is the newest addition to Factor’s gravel offering, and comes two years after the launch of the LS. While the LS focuses on light weight and the Ostro Gravel on aerodynamic efficiency, Factor claims a weight of just 900g for a size 54 fully painted Ostro Gravel frame.\nAccording to the brand, the bike has clearance for 45mm tires but has a specific geometry to minimize the possibility of low-speed wheel flop with certain tire sizes.\nFactor says the Ostro Gravel is aimed at riders looking for a gravel race bike. Pro gravel racer Dylan Johnson rode the bike at Unbound 2022.\n‘The reason that we created this new bike was because of our commitment to gravel and alternative racing,’ says Factor founder and CEO Rob Gitelis. ‘We have invested heavily in the technology to create what we believe to be the world’s fastest gravel bike.’\nPrices start from £4,730 for a frameset kit (including seatpost, cockpit, CeramicSpeed headset and bottom bracket) and go up to £9,380 for the power meter-equipped SRAM Red eTap AXS full build. Availability is expected from the end of September.\nMade for speed\nFactor says aerodynamics have been a key consideration in the Ostro Gravel’s design, unlike that of the LS, which focuses more on light weight.\nAccording to Factor, its engineering has resulted in a fast, aero gravel bike with lower speed aero-efficient features when compared to the Ostro VAM.\n‘For the LS we made assumptions that gravel speeds were low enough that we didn’t see a benefit in having an aero frame and we really prioritized lightweight instead,’ explains Graham Shrive, engineering director at Factor. ‘But working with riders we realized that in gravel races speed is creeping up and being aero is becoming a major factor.’\nThe brand says it has manipulated the behavior of airflow around the head tube before it can be disrupted by the rider and the bike itself, specifically looking at the laminar separation bubble in that area.\n‘We focussed on the free stream flow, the areas which come in front of the rider and outside of the wheel, so the forks, the headtube and then the handlebar and seatpost,’ explains Shrive.\n‘At lower velocities, the airflow will detach and at some point it reattaches, but if you can trick that airflow to separate earlier it can then reattach quicker and you get lower performance drag further downstream.’\nThe Ostro Gravel’s Black Inc cockpit – Black Inc being Factor’s components brand – has also been designed to support the frameset’s aero rationale.\nFactor says it has been designed to maximize the free air stream flow available before the rider’s body fouls the air moving past the bike and the rider.\nFactor says the cockpit can save up to 9 watts in comparison to a regular bar/stem setup, although it did not specify at which speed this saving would be achieved.\nFactor says the Ostro Gravel’s purpose of gravel racing is reflected in the bike’s aggressive yet comfortable geometry.\n‘We stretched the top tube by about a centimeter to try and promote the slightly further back center of gravity that you want when you are going down a really steep hill on a gravel bike,’ explains Shrive. ‘So you lose that tendency to feel like you have been thrown over the front end of the bike.’\n‘We also coupled that with a slightly steeper seat tube angle, which is a response to the phenomenon of most people being on a zero offset seat post.’\nThe Ostro head tube angle ranges from 71.2 to 72.3 across sizes. Factor says this is because it has prioritized the steepest head tube angle possible, whilst maintaining neutral trail values across the range so it can work with 43mm gravel tires as well as 32mm slicks with no low-speed wheel flop.\nA notable element to the Factor Ostro Gravel is that it is intended to be a ‘cross over’ bike, when ridden outside of pure gravel racing.\nFactor says that the handling geometry was selected to ensure road-like trail values when used with narrower tires, such as 30mm to 35mm, as they have a smaller outside diameter that typically reduces trail.\nThe brand claims that the rear center length, higher stack, and slacker head tube angle contribute to all day comfort, meaning that the bike can be used for more than just racing.\n‘We didn’t want to restrict riders going in either direction. If you are really keen, you could probably race this bike in a crit with a smaller tire. Our philosophy is very much to try not to exclude any riders,’ says Shrive.\nFlexible gravel spec\nThe Ostro Gravel features a removable front derailleur mount with a paint-matched carbon chip which Factor says means that riders can choose a 1× setup and the bike will still look attractive.\nThe bike also has integrated hose routing, but uses the industry standard of 1-1/2 upper and lower bearings and a fork steerer that will fit conventional stems.\n‘With the plethora of cockpit arrangements around for gravel we don’t want to constrain any rider, we want to open up the system to a wide variety of stems and bars,’ says Shrive.\nFactor’s latest gravel bike has electronic shifting, clearance for 45mm tires and is disc brake only.\nIt also comes with the new Black Inc Thirty-Four wheels which are hookless, feature custom CeramicSpeed bearings and have a 25mm internal width.\nThe Thirty-Four wheelset is Black Inc’s first off-road wheel and the brand says while it is primarily made for gravel it is also capable on the road with a 30mm or larger hookless-compatible tire.\nThe Ostro Gravel also has a T47A threaded bottom bracket and features a new two-bolt seatpost, which the brand says is a robust solution for gravel.\nIt has multiple attachment points for bags, boxes, tools, and bottles.\nFactor Ostro Gravel prices and availability\nThe Ostro Gravel is available as a frameset kit (that includes seatpost, barstem, CeramicSpeed bottom bracket and headset), a frameset kit with Black Inc Thirty-Four wheels, or as a complete bike in the following builds:\n- SRAM Force eTap AXS XPLR + power meter ($8,199 / €8,120 / £7,060)\n- SRAM Force eTap AXS ($8,599 / €8,520 / £7,400)\n- SRAM Force eTap AXS + power meter ($8,799 / €8,720 / £7,570)\n- SRAM Red eTap AXS XPLR + power meter ($9,799 / €9,710 / £8,430)\n- SRAM Red eTap AXS ($10,499 / €10,400 / £9,030)\n- SRAM Red eTap AXS + power meter ($10,899 / €10,800 / £9,380)\nColor options include ‘Naked Grunge’ (black), White Grunge (white) and custom paint schemes too.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The Duke heard about the advanced engineering involved in the very latest hybrid and electric vehicles. His Royal Highness also saw a brief snapshot of the extensive archives held by the museum, which include technical documents and many thousands of photographs.\nThe museum was recently completely transformed thanks to a £2.4m refurbishment, made possible by a £1.8m grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The major works programme was completed in January 2019 and has helped to secure the future of the museum, meaning that the important story of Britain’s rich commercial vehicle heritage will be told for generations to come.\nKeith Moyes, manager of the British Commercial Vehicle Museum, said: “We are honoured to have welcomed His Royal Highness to the Museum. He showed great interest in the work of the museum, our volunteers and the many exhibits we have on display. We hope both enthusiasts and families will follow in The Duke’s footsteps, enjoying a day out at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum.”\nHis Royal Highness departed the museum in style, boarding a beautifully preserved 1927 Leyland Lioness Charabanc – a vehicle with its own Royal connections. The coach was originally owned by King George V – The Duke of Kent’s Grandfather – and was used to transport staff and luggage from Buckingham Palace to various Royal estates. The Duke took a much shorter journey in the eye-catching Lioness, just ½ a mile from the British Commercial Vehicle Museum to Brothers of Charity Services’ Roccoco Coffee Shop, the venue of the Leyland Veterans’ Café.\nLeyland Veterans’ Café Founder, Phil Burton, met The Duke in front of an impressive L118 Howitzer Light Gun on loan from The Royal Artillery TA Regiment, and welcomed him to the Veteran’s Café. Inside, His Royal Highness met veterans who have benefitted from the work of the café, along with representatives from the many organisations who provide support to veterans referred from the café including Blind Veterans, SSAFA, Royal British Legion, NHS, Job Centre Plus and many others.\nThe Leyland Veterans’ Café was established in 2017, in partnership with Brothers of Charity Services, after Phil Burton successfully approached South Ribble Borough Council for funding from the Borough’s Armed Forces Covenant. Phil had identified a gap in support for veterans and he was determined to do something about it. His vision was to create a drop-in style, café environment that would enable veterans to meet in a ‘military family’ environment, and a place where they could also get help and support from a vast array of organisations, that can often be difficult for Veterans to navigate.\nPhil explained, “Military camaraderie is really important to many veterans – it is often an important coping mechanism. Following the closure of Leyland’s Royal British Legion Club, I realised there was nowhere specifically for veterans to meet, share stories and seek support. It took a huge amount of time, effort and support – most notably from South Ribble Borough Council, BAE Systems and Brothers of Charity Services – to get the café from being an idea in my head to a reality that is changing lives.\n“Two years after opening our doors, I am delighted to say that we are welcoming around 70 veterans to each café session, they travel from near and far to join us. We’ve had so many success stories already, of people who were at the end of their tether, not knowing where to turn. We offered them friendship and support; and made sure they got access to the services they needed. It’s amazing what can be achieved over a cup of tea and a bacon butty!”\nThe Veterans Café meets on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 10.00 – 13.00 in Roccoco Coffee Shop, a social enterprise run by Brothers of Charity Services to provide support and employment opportunities to adults with learning disabilities. They have been a key partner in delivery of the Leyland Veterans’ Café from day one.\nCommenting after the visit, Mayor of South Ribble, Councillor Harry Hancock said, “It was a tremendous honour to welcome His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent to South Ribble today at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum and the Veteran’s Café.\n“We have such a rich cultural offer here in South Ribble and I am delighted that His Royal Highness was able to visit the Museum which holds such treasured elements of the country’s transport history. In relation to the Veteran’s Café, as a borough we are dedicated to providing help, support and kinship to our veterans and as a former member of the Royal Horse Guards, I am immensely proud that our wonderful Veteran’s Café has been recognised in this way.”\nSubmitted by Unlocked Potential Consulting", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

When you have no car, you may be stranded. You may think you have to spend a lot of money on auto repairs; however, this is not usually the case. There are many simple repairs that even a novice can fix on their own.\nGet yourself a good battery charger, making sure to keep it inside the car. Dead batteries are a common occurrence and you'd be able to aid other drivers who have broken down. Learn to locate the points where you should connect the battery charger on your car.\nMake sure the repair shop technician is familiar with the particular model of your vehicle. If they have experience with your type of car, they are more likely able to correctly diagnose and fix the problems your vehicle is having.\nIt is very important to keep records of all your auto repairs. If your car ends up with more problems later on, your mechanic will appreciate having access to your past records. The records can help the mechanic determine the problem.\nAs the mechanic whether they've worked on your make and model before. If the answer is yes, that's a very good thing.\nMake sure your headlights are clean if they don't look as bright. Sometimes, dirt from the road transfers over to your lights dim them. Clean your car's headlights and taillights with a glass cleaner.\nDo not forget about your windshield wiper blades. You need new windshield wipers if they are making noises or leaving streaks. You should replace wiper blades at least once a year or more often if you live in an area where rain is commonplace or if you notice your wiper blades are worn out.\nYou should check the tire pressure when you go to the gas station. Take a look at each tire and be sure they are free of any debris. If you see anything wrong with them, get the problem fixed right away. Driving on the highway with corrupt tires can be very dangerous.\nTake photos of your car ahead of a visit to the garage. Some shops might strip your car to justify billing you for more repairs. Because of this, it is advisable to get proof of what you vehicle looked like before it goes to the shop, just in case.\nThere are quite a few body shops that are just out there to take off the tires you have and put older ones on. This is a quick way for them to make a profit and take advantage of you. Before you go in, place some chalk on your tires to mark them up. You have been duped if there is no chalk on the tires when you pick it up.\nKnow when your oil needs changing. If you wish for your automobile to run great for a long time, the oil needs to be changed on a regular basis. Your car will not last as long as it should when the oil is not regularly changed, so be sure you have some kind of reminder.\nIf a mechanic gives you a quote that exceeds two hundred dollars, ask for a written estimate. This helps you with complaints down the road. Mechanics aren't as likely to charge you for unrequested repairs as well.\nEven if your car only seems to have a small issue going on, you should definitely have it looked at. Sometimes, the smallest issue can escalate to a major problem if not attended to in a timely manner.\nAlways be wary of sellers claiming they have auto parts that will last a lifetime. This is often simply a sneaky way for unscrupulous parts dealers to get more money out of you. Lifetime deals are typically not legitimate. Although this special transmission fluid does last longer than regular fluid, it still needs to be replaced after 80,000 miles.\nAlways be wary of sellers claiming they have auto parts that will last a lifetime. This is a lie in an attempt to take your money. As an example, some vehicles come with transmission fluid marked as \"lifetime\". It is true that this fluid lasts much longer than standard transmission fluid, but you will still need to change it out at around 80,000 miles.\nIf you get an estimate from a mechanic, tell them you need a few hours to think about it before making your decision. Call other dealerships or garages to inquire what they charge for the type of repair the original mechanic is recommending. If you find something less expensive, pay them for their labor, but take your car somewhere else.\nWhen discussing your car's problem with a mechanic, question him about the repair and why it is needed. You need a thorough understanding of the repair, not just a price quote. How long are the repairs going to take? What's being worked on? Find out how much the new parts cost. Make a long list of questions. This will not only show the mechanic that you are well informed, it will also help should the same issue pop up again.\nEach time you wash the car, remove the car mats and shake them vigorously. Dirt gets trapped in the rubber, which can lead to tearing. These holes are unattractive and allow dirt to reach the carpet.\nRight now, you should feel a bit more confident about having your auto repaired. Although nobody loves getting their car fixed, you'll find that the process doesn't have to be a painful ordeal. Use these tips for all of your own auto repair needs.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

To put it another way, the building’s foundation is almost seven stories deep. The pit already has approximately 450 tons of reinforcing steel weighing roughly as much as 250 mid-size cars.\nThere will be about 3,500 tons of concrete poured into the foundation base — enough concrete to pave more than a half-mile of a two-lane interstate or for the slabs of about 225 two-car garages.\nThe massive pour will last through the night to take advantage of generally calmer weather conditions and minimize traffic congestion. The operation is expected to take up to about 12 hours.\nClick here to view a streaming web cam of the testing facility construction site.\nThe operation has taken months of planning and thousands of man-hours of preparation and field work. Engineers must consider environmental conditions, influence from local traffic and other factors that could cause an inconsistent flow of concrete.\nThe pour marks a milestone for the massive construction project. After breaking ground in October 2010, construction began the following year. In May last year, the engineering team from Choate poured the foundation for the smaller test rig. The pour for the 7.5-megawatt test rig required 750 cubic yards of concrete.\nThe project involves completely redeveloping an 82,000-square-foot warehouse on the former Navy base. Engineering design was performed by AEC Engineering of Minneapolis.\nIn November 2009, Clemson and its partners were awarded a $45 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, which was combined with $53 million of matching funds, to build and operate the large-scale testing facility for next-generation wind turbine drivetrains.\nWhen complete later this year, the facility will have the capability for full-scale highly accelerated testing of advanced drivetrain systems for wind turbines in the five- to 15-megawatt range.\nIt also will have 50 hertz and 60 hertz testing capability, which means it can accommodate test specimens destined for anywhere in the world.\nAbout Choate Construction\nAs one of the largest general contractors in the Southeast, Choate Construction Company considers its Reputation as its number one asset, with future success founded upon the strength of its client relationships. Choate Construction excels in both base and interior construction with office locations in Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Savannah.

In the USA, the key world market for ATVs, annual sales routinely exceeded 100,000 units.\nWith the main ATV manufacturers all fighting for a slice of the US market, it should come as no surprise that building a diesel bike for Europe in general, but the UK in particular, would not meet with much success. But it was not for want of trying.\nIn 1993, Oxfordshire-based E.P. Barrus developed its D-Bat diesel. In simple terms, the original models matched a Polaris 250cc petrol ATV chassis to a 300cc Yanmar single cylinder diesel power unit.\nThe resulting machine underwent a degree of evolution – a switch to a 350cc chassis and 400cc diesel engine, boosting both reliability and performance. But these chain-driven machines did need careful owners. Production ceased in 1997.\nThen there was the Diablo from independent engineer Gifford Langley and latterly his Diesel Quads company on Anglesey. The Diablo diesel was powered by a series of different engines, the most appealing of which was the 850cc Yanmar liquid-cooled triple cylinder.\nThe D-Bat was a modest success, with promising initial sales that prompted Polaris to develop its own diesel model.\nThe Diablo project meanwhile soldiered on with little financial backing and sales volumes remained low.\nThe relative success of the D-Bat prompted US maker Polaris to develop its own diesel-powered machine.\nLaunched in 1999, the Polaris 455 diesel had all the ingredients to be a success: shaft drive, 4WD, independent suspension and a decent power unit – the Fuji liquid-cooled single developed 11hp and 21.6Nm of torque at a modest 2,500rpm. This made the diesel a good machine for towing.\nThe initial production run of Polaris models all suffered from a weak big end in the engine, which led to a raft of warranty and modification work.\nThe next batches made in 2000 and 2001 were pretty much sorted out, constant velocity joints replacing plain universal joints used on the drive shafts of the original.\nDespite its promise, however, the Diesel 455 just did not sell well enough to justify its production costs and manufacturing ceased.\nSales outside the UK had proven pretty slow, with unsold diesel machines from other markets allowing Polaris in the UK to continue to sell the diesel into 2003.\nThese Polaris machines are now sought after as a used buy, incidentally, but it is increasingly difficult to find a good one these days.\nFast forward to 2005 and Massey Ferguson stepped into the diesel market with its MF700D ‘AgTV’.\nPowered by a Lombardini 686cc SOHC twin-cylinder liquid cooled diesel developing 17.0hp at 3,600rpm and torque of 40.5Nm at 2,000rpm, this machine has enjoyed sales since launch at the back end of 2006 equivalent to 400 to 450 units a year.\nIt would be good to say this machine was purpose developed for agriculture, but the reality is somewhat more prosaic. The US military needed an ATV that could run on diesel, so Arctic Cat and military specialists Roush Technologies came up with a solution that subsequently, with red plastic and badging, morphed into the Massey.\nThe MF700D has been produced by Arctic Cat in Austria. Originally, the plan was that Massey would sell the ATV through its dealers, but by late 2007 the marketing of the machine had altered to the stage where Arctic Cat dealers are now the more active in the market.\nThis essentially means you can buy the same diesel ATV with Massey or Arctic decals. It is always tricky to talk about pricing, but the £7,500 sticker price of the MF700D when launched can be seriously bettered by shopping around.\nIn common with its diesel predecessors, the MF700D/ Arctic Cat 700D are not the nimblest of machines. Get up and go is perfectly acceptable, but probably tardy in comparison to a petrol ATV with a decent-sized engine.\nBased around the three-in-one ‘long wheelbase’ chassis that affords two-up seating, the 700D is not the most manoeuvrable either – a turn radius of around 4.65m – but with the intitial purchase price having drifted downwards and petrol prices drifting upwards, some buyers are prepared to overlook manoeuvrability.\nThe flip side is that the 700D is a very comfortable machine, the extra 200mm in its wheelbase helping to smooth the ride already made good with independent suspension. It is also designed to take two riders or, perhaps more usefully, a rear load platform.\nIn terms of dependability, reports from users suggest the 700D is not prone to any major issues, a weak shaft on the initial batch of machines having replaced by a much meatier design that is common to all current production machines.\nRunning costs are harder to pin down, but as a guide the manufacturer was suggesting at the model’s launch that users should expect to at least halve their fuel bills.\nThis is a pretty modest claim and one that overlooks the key diesel strength; the ability to run on ‘red’.\nBut this is not the only diesel quad currently on offer, the Scottish-built Ecorider Ecoquad has just entered the arena (see page 6).\nPowered by a 440cc diesel unit, this 2WD machine mixes lightness and simplicity with a claimed 90mpg potential. Those used to the 10 to 25mpg of a petrol ATV will no doubt covet this level of frugality. Of equal importance, the Ecoquad has an affordable sub-£4,000 price tag.\nSo, if you want a diesel ATV you can now buy one. For some, the lack of out and out pep and general refinement of a petrol-powered machine will still see them live with the ever rising cost of running a petrol ATV or consider an LPG conversion, but at least you now have some choices.\nAs it stands, those favouring diesel can now take another option – the side-by-side. A diesel-powered utility machine, such as a Kawasaki Mule 3000D, Massey MF 20MD, Kubota RTV or a John Deere Gator HPX can make a viable alternative to an ATV.\nThese machines are no longer as pricey as they used to be either.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It’s the question I asked myself after a representative from MiniMotors USA suggested I try the company’s new Dualtron Victor. It’s also a question a colleague, who has been riding a sub-$500 e-scooter, asked me.\nAfter several weeks of riding it … well, I get it. This is the only scooter I’ve ridden that feels like it’s made for long treks. I took it on a 24-mile round trip from Brooklyn to New Jersey, and it still had 30 percent battery left in the tank. That’s probably the farthest I’ve ever traveled while standing upright!\nIt’s so powerful it casually zoomed up steep hills that would’ve crippled most e-scooters, and its suspension makes for a well-cushioned ride. It has a few quirks—and one big con—but this thing is practically perfect.\nThe Victor arrived on my doorstep in a giant, heavy box. No, I don’t know who Victor is, but I’m glad this e-scooter takes just minutes to set up. Tighten the clamp on the stem, then unfold the handlebars and secure them with their respective clamps.\nThere’s a hook at the end of the deck, so you can clip on the handlebar stem when you fold it. It keeps the stem from collapsing when it’s stored, and it makes it much easier to carry the Victor. Here is where I should mention my biggest problem: It’s heavy. It’s 73 pounds, which is even more than most electric bikes. Even lifting it to mount a curb is cumbersome. Thankfully, I live in an apartment with an elevator. But there was one day when the elevator wasn’t working and … well, let’s just say the stairwell heard some choice words.\nIt’s impossible to find a comparable scooter with this much range and power at a significantly lighter weight, but that doesn’t mean I won’t complain about it. If you can manage to lift it, it will fit into a trunk. It’s surprisingly compact when folded.\nThe Victor is almost fully equipped out of the box. There are front headlights, taillights, and rear and front mudguards. (A bell would’ve been nice.) It also has LEDs to illuminate the underside of the deck, and the Dualtron branding on the handlebar lights up like an RGB gaming PC. You can use the included remote to tweak the colors and lighting patterns if you like.\nYou’ll need to turn on the power switch on the underside of the deck before you can power the Victor on, via the dashboard on the top-right handlebar. There’s a Mode button here to switch the onscreen ride data, and the third button (with a dot on it) will change the e-scooter’s gear. These three gears will regulate your speed. The first gear, for example, limits you to 15 miles per hour.\nOn the left handlebar, there are two switches. The first toggles between Eco and Turbo—Eco dramatically slows the e-scooter to conserve power, whereas Turbo will hit the top speed of whatever gear you’re in. The second toggle switches between Single and Dual (more on this later) motors. It’s hard to tell exactly what mode you’re in with these buttons, which can be a problem. Trust me, you don’t want to hit the throttle while accidentally in Dual motor mode without preparing for the kickback.\nThe display also shows battery life, and it’s one of the more accurate battery indicators I’ve seen. It’s also very easy to read the screen in broad daylight, which is an issue I’ve had with some other e-scooters.\nThe first thing I noticed on my very first ride with the Victor was how high the deck is off the ground. The handlebars are lower, to compensate, which means that when I was riding the scooter my arms were quite outstretched. Since I’m 6′ 4″, it took me awhile to get used to the reach. MiniMotors USA does sell stem adapters.\nI had some of the comfiest e-scooter rides I’ve ever had, though, thanks to the ultrawide tires and the excellent suspension. I only really felt some jerkiness when I went over cobbled road, but I probably would’ve had to get off and walk on any other e-scooter.\nDid I mention the Victor can go up to 50 miles per hour? You read that right. That’s because of the 4,000-watt dual-motor design (yes, four thousand). When you toggle on Single motor, you’re going to be restricted to a little under 30 mph. Toggle on Dual, and you’ll feel the torque. Your head will whip back and you’ll be zooming up to 50. I … didn’t quite try that. I can’t legally operate this e-scooter at those speeds in New York City.\nIn New Jersey, I did give it a spin on a wide stretch of open road that didn’t have any traffic, and I hit nearly 40 mph before I had to slow down. Those speeds are terrifying when there’s nothing protecting you but a metal handlebar and stem. However, you can use the gears to limit your speed to what you’re comfortable with (and what’s legal). You need to make sure you’re legally operating the e-scooter, just like you would for a car.\nOn the only other dual-motor e-scooter I’ve tried, the Apollo Ghost ($1,500), I was warned never to downshift from Dual to Single motor while riding, in case I hurt myself when it abruptly slowed. MiniMotors USA says you don’t need to worry about this on the Victor; you can engage and disengage the front motor at any time during a ride. I can’t imagine doing this at 30 to 40 mph, so I switched between them only when I came to a full stop. Thanks, Apollo.\nThe Victor uses powerful hydraulic disc brakes for the front and rear, with ABS so that the wheels don’t lock up. I had zero issues coming to a full stop very quickly, but make sure to hit the rear brake first, so you don’t tip yourself onto your face. You also never really want to slam the brakes when you’re going really fast.\nAs for range, MiniMotors USA claims 62 miles from the 60-volt LG battery. I rode for 24 miles, and the Victor had 30 percent left in the tank, which doesn’t seem like a lot considering that I also mostly rode it in Single motor mode. Dual mode would exhaust the battery faster. Range also varies depending on the rider and terrain, but I can’t see someone hitting more than 35 or 40 miles on this thing.\nEven if that’s not quite the promised 62-mile range, that’s still fantastic. Most e-scooters I’ve tried tap out around the 20 mile mark, or even 10. The Apollo Ghost sat a little under 20 miles before needing a recharge.\nThe Victor takes a whopping 20 hours to charge, with the charger that’s included, so don’t expect to quickly top it off. You can buy another charger to juice it up with two (there are two ports), and that will trim the time down to 10 hours, or buy the fast charger for a much more reasonable five-hour recharge. For the price, it’d be nice if a faster charger was included.\nThe display and brake levers on the handlebar can sit a little loose. Perhaps more annoying is that the tires are not tubeless. Tube tires are more prone to flats and usually require more maintenance. Boo!\nMiniMotors USA prides itself on its use of high-quality LG batteries, which it claims don’t degrade as quickly over time. I can’t quite test for that, but the good news is that it’s easy to replace the batteries. For any repairs you might need, the company stocks parts and components, and it has service partners and its own locations around the country if you don’t want to tweak anything yourself.\nThis is the e-scooter for anyone that puts serious miles on the road every single day. You won’t get range anxiety, which is freeing. And just because you buy an e-scooter that can go 50 miles per hour doesn’t mean you have to use it anywhere near those speeds. My favorite part is how I can crush any hill without going at a snail’s pace. That’s thanks to the heaps of power in the Victor.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This meeting was entitled, “Industrial Heritage”\nIt is not customary to open a lecture on industrial heritage by singing a chorus. Professor Margaret Bennett had us sing the “Weavers song” before delivering a talk focusing on the Scottish Flax industry and the Stanley Mills in particular.\nThe Mill, built by Richard Arkwright, better known for his cotton mills in Lancashire, was opened in 1787. He chose the site to exploit the fast flowing waters of the Tay. The mill processed flax to produce linen. The mill required large numbers of female workers who at that time were confined to domestic or farm work and a smaller number of men. Professor Bennett told of farm girls who preferred the 12 hour days in the mill to being at home on the farm. It was a sign of early female emancipation and the movement of agricultural workers into industry. The village of Stanley was created from the houses the company built. The company also provided a range of cultural and sporting facilities.\nThe unfinished linen was set out on what were known as bleach fields. These fields situated at Stanley and Luncarty were extensive. As production increased the area required for bleaching increased from 80 Acres in 1791 to 130 acres in 1846. After the linen had lost most of its colour it was pounded to soften the fabric to make it suitable for its final uses. Eventually Arkwright turned to chemicals to give a more assured result. The machinery in the mill encouraged the birth of engineering activities. The town of Kirkcaldy became well known for its innovations in weaving machinery.\nThe development of shuttles which were safer than those previously used, resulted in the company of McFarlane & Sons becoming supplier to most of the British weaving industry. There were three major employers in the town producing weaving machines which were exported in large numbers to the Baltic States. The need for skilled engineers to build and maintain the machinery was recognised leading to the introduction of apprenticeship for new entrants. The skills the apprentices learnt on weaving and similar machines were transferable to other aspects of engineering.\nThe Scottish apprentice engineers who had received this training went throughout the world to work on major project. An example was Sir Sandford Fleming, born in Kirkcaldy, where he served his engineering apprenticeship,\nwho went on to become the main engineer responsible for the construction of the Trans Canadian railway. His engineering and practical brain also saw the need for standardised timekeeping on the railways and his suggestions form the basis of the system used today. Professor Bennett told us that although he is an iconic figure in Canada he is largely unknown in Scotland.\nProfessor Bennett traced the beginning of Scotland’s industrial heritage to places like the Stanley Mills. The increase in the urban population and the freedom from the land for young women began at this time. The importance of education and training became apparent leading to the introduction of training for engineers.\nAt the next meeting on 19th October in the Aytoun Hall, Lynne McGeachie will talk on Beatrix Potter’s Scotland, “Her Perthshire Inspiration”.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The Firebird was offered with both six and eight cylinder\nengines, like the Mustang and Camaro, and was based heavily on the Chevrolet\nCamaro chassis. Pontiac did try to make it their own and would create a\nEuropean styled and mannered pony car that could hold its own against its more\n1967 Pontiac Firebird\nComments: The Pontiac Firebird was released five months after the Chevrolet\nCamaro, and offered buyers choices of six and eight cylinder engines. Pontiac\nwas able to use that additional time to create a unique identity for the Firebird,\ndespite having to use the Camaro chassis and some body panels. Despite using the same\nfront fenders, doors, and rear fenders as the Camaro, the Firebird's styled\nsplit front grille, beaked hood, and GTO-slitted taillights gave it a distinctly\nPontiac apperance. But the key differentiator was under the hood, where the Firebird\noffered a range of Pontiac engines. Initially, five different Firebirds were available,\nnamed after their respective engine choices. At the bottom was the lowly 230 cubic inch\nOHC six cylinder engine with a single 1bbl carb, rated at a measily 165 bhp. Stepping\nup to the \"Sprint\" version got the buyer a 230 I6 with a 4bbl carb rated at 215bhp. Either\nsix cylinder was linked to either a three or four speed manual or two-speed automatic\ntransmission. Although the six cylinder engines were more powerful than Chevy's offerings,\nmost buyers wisely opted for one of the available V8 engines. At the bottom was Pontiac's\n326 V8 with a two barrel carb that was rated at 250 bhp. A special \"H.O.\" (High Output) version\nof the 326 V8 fitted with a four barrel carb was rated at 285bhp. At the top was the\n400 V8 borrowed from the GTO. This engine was rated at 325 bhp, and was available\nwith or without Ram Air (which suspiciously didn't affect the engine rating, hmm.)\nThe Ram Air engine included a hotter cam, stronger valve springs, and made use of the\notherwise decrorative hood scoops. With no publicized power increase and a hefty $600 price\ntag, the Ram Air option was rarely ordered. All V8s came with a standard heavy-duty three speed\nmanual transmission; a four speed manual and three speed automatic were optional. Performance\naxle ratios up to 4.33:1 were available as well as front disk brakes. Firebird prices\nwere roughly $200 more than comparable Camaros and the Camaro outsold it two to one.\nBut Pontiac's pony car had arrived.\n400/325: 0-60 in 6.2 sec, 1/4 mile in 14.7 sec @ 98 mph.\n1968 Pontiac Firebird\nComments: The Pontiac Firebird underwent minor changes for its second year.\nOn the exterior, it lost its side vent windows and gained fender marker lights.\nThe interior was revised and the rear suspension was refined with the adoption of\nstaggered shocks in the rear (one in front of the rear axle and one behind) and the\nuse of new multi-leaf rear springs. The big news was under the hood. The standard\n400 engine gained 5 bhp to 330 while the Ram Air engine was rated at 335 bhp.\nIn mid year, it was replaced by the 340 bhp Ram Air II. Newly available was a\nthird 400 V8, named the HO (High Output) that was slotted between the two other\nengines. The 400 HO cam with free-flow exhausts and its own revised cam (when\nmated to the four speed manual). It too was rated at 335 bhp. On the lower side\nof the model line, the 230 I6 was replaced by a new 250 I6 and the 326 V8s were\nreplaced by new 350 V8s. Performance was definitely the key at Pontiac.\n400/335 (HO): 0-60 in 5.5 sec, 1/4 mile in 14.2 sec @ 100 mph.\n1969 Pontiac Firebird\nComments: The Pontiac Firebird underwent a major restyling for the 1969 model\nyear. The front end was redone and the rear end and interior were changed\nslightly. The redesign did not do well with customers, and sales fell, despite the\nfact that production lasted for 17 months, well into 1970 due to production\nproblems with the 1970 model. The Ram Air 400 was renamed the Ram Air IV and had\na slight increase in power. The 400 HO option was known as either the Ram Air, Ram\nAir III, or simply HO. It too received a slight increase in power. In March of 1969,\nPontiac released a little publicized option package, the Trans Am Performance and\nAppearance Package. Conceived to campaign in the SCCA's road racing series (with a\nspecial 303 cubic inch V8 which was never offered in production cars), Pontiac\npaid a $5 license fee to SCCA for each Trans Am sold to use the name. Offered as\na $725 option, only 689 Firebird coupes and 8 convertibles (talk about a collectible)\nwere built. Although not apparent at the time, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am,\nalong with the Chevrolet Corvette, would be the only American high performance cars\nthat would remain in continuous production since their inception. The Trans Am came\nstandard with the HO engine with Ram Air (also called the Ram Air III). The only other\nengine option was the 400 Ram Air IV, ordered on just 55 coupes.\nAll Trans Ams were Polar White with blue racing stripes, tail panel, and decals.\nThe exclusive hood had functional air intakes which could be closed by the driver\nand functional fender scoops designed to vent the engine bay. A 60 inch rear foil\n(spoiler) was mounted on the trunk. Although the Trans Am was no faster than\nsimilarly equiped Firebirds, it represented the peak of Pontiac performance excitement.\nHardtop Coupe: 76,059\nTrans Am Hardtop Coupe: 689\nTrans Am Convertible: 8", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Grinding ring and other crusher accessories, ball mill accessories and coal mill accessories; formed 3 series of wear-resistant parts, high manganese steel castings, wear-resistant alloy steel castings, high and low chromium castings.\nMain production equipment: 8 sets of medium frequency induction electric furnace 0.3-5000kg, 7 van-type resistance furnaces, 14 large and small lifting equipment and several vertical lathes; quality inspection equipment: one NCS750B precision direct reading spark spectrometer, DK7735B wire cutting machine tool One, one XJP-20 metallurgical microscope, one JB-300B impact testing machine, one TH140 Leeb hardness tester, one set of chemical analysis equipment; two production lines for lost foam casting and one production line for V method casting.\nWater glass sand casting\nThe wear-resistant parts of sand casting crushers are still very common in China, such as jaw plates, high chromium hammers, crushing walls, rolling mortar walls, etc., because in the crusher equipment, as a relatively large wear-resistant casting, Relatively speaking, the accuracy is not very high, especially for the jaws, the finished product is almost not polished by a lathe, and the broken wall, rolling mortar wall, roll skin and the like only need to be polished by a lathe, so it is especially suitable for sand casting Because the wear-resistant parts of sand casting jaws, high chromium hammers, broken walls, rolling mortar walls, roll skins, etc., are more than 20% durable than other products such as lost foam casting.\nLost foam casting\nLost foam casting\" is also called \"gasification mold modeling\", \"foamed polystyrene plastic mold casting\", \"solid casting\" or \"cavityless casting\", etc. The essence of this casting method is to use foamed polystyrene plastic instead Ordinary shape, after making the shape, pour the molten metal without taking out the shape. Under the heat of the hot liquid metal, the foam plastic mold vaporizes, burns and disappears, and the molten metal replaces the space occupied by the original foam plastic mold. After solidification, the required castings can be obtained.\nV method casting\nV method casting and lost foam casting are also known as negative pressure casting, named after the initial \"V\" of the word \"Vacuum\" in English. The biggest advantage of it different from traditional sand casting is that it does not use adhesives. V method casting uses plastic film to seal the sand box, and draws out the air in the mold by a vacuum exhaust system. For the required cavity, the casting is solidified by lowering the core, closing the box, pouring and vacuuming, and the negative pressure is relieved, and the casting sand is collapsed to obtain the casting.\nResin sand casting\nResin sand casting is a general term. Molding sand and core sand that have been covered with a solid resin film before molding and core making are called coated sand, or shell (core) sand. Resin sand casting is to mix raw sand and resin to form resin sand. The resin sand is driven into the mold cavity and molded by heating or catalyst. The molded core is then placed in a casting mold for casting. Resin sand castings have the characteristics of small surface roughness, high dimensional accuracy and good quality.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

In this study, we first derive a range of linear modal instabilities in self-gravitating disks. Improved resolution permits identification of slowly-growing instabilities, which may have a close connection to structures observed by ALMA. We use our linear solutions to the hydrodynamic governing equations to assess the fidelity of meshless and conventional grid-based hydrodynamic solvers. We then study the weakly nonlinear long-term development of endogenously developed spiral modes. We also explore how modern fluid codes maintain recently discovered eccentric disk mode solutions that display unperturbed structure at the inner and outer disk radii.

The first competition was in January, and the Michigan Institute of Technology and Delft University of Technology ended up the winning schools.\nThe Hornet Hyperloop team found out this semester that it had made it into the final 24 teams, placing them with the top engineering schools in the world and one of three teams from California to compete.\nTeam members said they are honored to compete among the greatest engineering schools in the world and for a project that may change the world of transportation forever.\n“It’s pretty much the best engineering schools in the world and the fact that Sac State has made it that far — it shows that our engineering department and knowledge here at Sac State is on par with some of those big schools,” said lead engineer Dylan Cracraft.\nTeam captain and mechanical engineering senior Paul Orozco started Hornet Hyperloop in 2016 and struggled to get a solid team around him. It wasn’t until last summer that he was able to get a team together from disciplines to bring this pod to life.\n“This is a new club,” Orozco said. “There really hasn’t been any ground set as to how to do and what to do, and one of the things I like is the interdisciplinary relationship between courses.”\nHornet Hyperloop is building a scaled-downed pod that will only take a year to build from the ground up and will operate around 200mph.\nHowever, it will still use the same principals of the propulsion system, aerodynamic principles and environment as the full-scale model, as the team has built its pod to be easily scaleable to fullsize without changing much of the structure.\n“A lot of our systems are pretty scaleable,” Orozco said. “Our overall structure is just kind of lengthened and widened a little bit, because it’s based off a normal airplane structure, so that also means that construction cost is a little cheaper because you don’t have to train people you can just grab people from the aerospace industry.”\nMost of the materials used on the pod are different types of aluminium. Stainless steel is used on the joints as it is not as magnetic and less likely to rip away from the pod because of the high energy of the magnets.\nThe movement of the pod is not the same as a conventional train with wheels and tracks. It is actually levitating by the force between the magnets on the pod and the magnets on the floor of the tube to reduce drag and friction.\nThe blistering speed of the pod is achieved by using the kinetic energy of the magnets to push the pod along, as a compressor at the front of the pod sucks in the air that forms around the front of the pod from the high speed and pushes it out the back of the pod for propulsion and the bottom of the pod to assist with levitation.\nWorking technology like this in a way never done before, some serious problem-solving has been required, but Cracraft said that the challenge is what the team thrives off of.\n“The main thing is that you are working on something that has never been done before and being able to be super creative and coming up with your own ideas on how to solve things,” Cracraft said.\nCracraft, a senior in majoring mechanical engineering, has leadership experience from working at Hewlett-Packard Co. and has an internship with Aerojet in the summer to help design rockets.\n“The Hyperloop has helped me to learn how to take a concept and an idea and turn it into an actual final design,” he said. “As far as going forward I want to be in the aerospace industry so working on a project like this is definitely helpful in that.”\nFunding a project like this has not been easy, with an estimated cost of $55,000 or more for testing, materials, building and transportation to the competition.\n“So far a lot of funding has been through the school, but right now we are reaching out to companies,” Orozco said. “This morning I was on a phone call with a company in Italy. We’re just trying to reach out and get either monetary or material sponsorships from various companies.”\nBusiness lead and senior Kevin Nguyen came on knowing that the team needed more help on the business side and has since been recruiting more students and searching for sponsors.\nNguyen is focusing on Sacramento-based companies that have designated departments for sponsorships by sending proposals and sometimes speaking with companies and organizations on the phone, even if they aren’t in the tech industry, such as Golden 1, the Sacramento Kings and Sacramento Republic FC.\nAs Sac State is the only Northern California team competing, he is hopeful that companies in the Bay Area will be more inclined to help as well.\nNguyen has learned that patience is a virtue while looking for sponsors and expects more intensity now that the team has been placed in the finals and will need materials to build the pod.\n“Companies have to have some interest in us,” Nguyen said. “It’s like pitching an investment — there has to be a return for them.”\nThose returns include space for the company’s logo on the pod and a walk around the factory.\nA completed physical model is expected to be finished this August in time for the competition. Until then the team will continue to test, build and find funding for the project.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The HVAC means heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, and it is responsible for maintaining temperature and flow of air in homes, offices, or even boats and ships. As this machine system runs almost every day, the wear and tear probability is high compared to other home and building systems. So, it would be best if you consider finding the right HVAC contractor.\nBut, first, you have to know the differences between HVAC systems and find the one that suits you.\nDifferences Of HVAC For Homes, Commercial Buildings, And Boats\nMost home and office buildings have HVAC systems. Boats also have HVAC systems. The purpose may be the same for these cases, but there are differences in the design and function of each one.\nHVAC For Homes\nHVAC systems for homes allow for proper air filtration and ventilation, improve the quality of air, and deliver thermal relief. The design of the HVAC system for homes varies with the size of your home. The examples of equipment for an HVAC system for houses are thru-wall air conditioner, packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC), and packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP). Usually, houses in northern latitude places have HVAC systems ready due to extreme winter.\nMost of the states in the US that experience extreme cold, like in Colorado, have HVAC systems for their homes for heating purposes. If you are looking for an HVAC Colorado Springs contractor, there are tips to help you choose, which will be mentioned later in this article.\nHVAC For Commercial Building\nThe HVAC system for office or commercial buildings has bigger designs than the type used in regular homes. In fact, the HVAC designs for buildings play a significant role in the design of the building itself. The HVAC system for buildings are usually incorporated with rooftop cooling units that use filtered outside air for ventilation. The primary purpose of the system is to provide comfort for customers and employees.\nHVAC For Boats\nWhile it is undoubtedly windy when you are on a boat or yacht, HVAC systems are still necessary. The design varies with the size of the boat, plus the indoor and outdoor heating system are both suitable. The primary purposes of the HVAC system for boats are reducing air moisture content and humidity to prolong the life of electronics and fabrics inside the vessel and the lower deck.\nFinding The Excellent HVAC Contractor\nHVAC systems are complex. It takes years of experience and training to perfect installation, maintenance, and repair. There are many contractors out there to choose from, especially in Colorado, where the temperature is cooler than usual.\nHere are key points to remember when finding the best home heating service Colorado Springs contractor:\n1. Seek Referrals From Friends And Colleagues\nAsking friends and colleagues who already own an HVAC system is an excellent way to determine the best contractor for you, plus it can save you a lot of time. Typically, the first-hand experiences from clients are reliable and trustworthy. The clients who are satisfied with services rendered by an HVAC contractor refer them to friends and colleagues who need their services.\nMost of the HVAC contractors in the business have their own websites, which means you can find their services and other offerings while sitting on your couch. Researching for the best HVAC contractor gives you an overview of what they have to offer. There are also business rating bodies, which rates businesses, including HVAC contracting services. The highest grade a business can get is A+, so be sure to look for contractors with that rating.\n3. Look for Licensed Professional\nHVAC systems are complex as these are composed of many components. Ideally, it would be best to look for a competent and licensed professional to do the job rather than take matters into your own hands. The highest standard for HVAC contractors is the North American Technician Excellence (also known as NATE) certification. The contractors who are NATE certified have undergone specialized training and continuing professional development. Its sole purpose is to keep the professionals updated with the latest trends and changes. Certified technicians are also required to take an exam to renew the certification every two years.\nIf you want to cut the cost your HVAC system entails, you can look for special offers to save your money. Another factor to consider is the insurance for your HVAC system as it is prone to wear and tear. In extreme weather conditions, the HVAC system may work continuously for several weeks. This activity can damage the component or the system, and having insurance can save you from trouble when something goes wrong.\nAside from finding the right architect for your home, finding the right HVAC contractor is also vital as they can upkeep your home, property building, or boat’s HVAC system. The cooling and heating capabilities of HVAC systems are essential in many areas around the globe. Looking for and hiring qualified and knowledgeable professionals to do any HVAC-related project provides you with confidence and better peace of mind.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

As you might already know, driving with a damaged frame is quite risky; worse, it might result in more damage if you leave it in disrepair.\nBut if it’s any consolation, the good news is that frame damage is often repairable. Below are a few basics you should know about vehicle frame damage.\nTable of Contents:\nWhat is a Car Frame?\nThe frame of a car, also called the chassis, is the structural support system of your car. This is made of aluminum or steel and has several purposes and functions, such as:\n- Protect the passengers and all internal parts of the car during a collision\n- Support the vehicle’s mechanical components\n- Support the shape or body of the car\n- Support the vehicle’s weight\nCar frames have two primary types: the body-on-frame design and the unibody design. A unibody design is meant to be part of the vehicle’s body, which means these two are attached, working together to support the car. This type of frame is common in passenger cars.\nVehicles with a body-on-frame design, or ladder frame, have two different parts that are not attached. It means that the car’s body is usually bolted down to the frame. This style of car frame can be frequently seen in SUVs, buses, and trucks.\nMechanics usually pertain to the vehicle frame according to sectional components including:\n- A, B, & C pillars\n- Core support\n- Floor plan\n- Quarter panel\n- Rear support\n- Rocker panel\n- Strut tower\nEvery section has its designated purpose and supports or protects a certain part of the car. Breaking down the frame’s sections makes it easier for mechanics to determine damage and repair it effectively and efficiently.\nAll About Frame Damage\nFrame damage may pertain to any damage to vehicle parts meant to support its structural integrity. The damage is often due to outside forces like disrepair or collisions.\nWhen there is damage to the structural support of the vehicle, it can result in the car being too unstable to drive. It can also expose risk to other parts of the vehicle being supported by the frame. As a result, the potential hazards may end up compromising the safety of passengers because these can make it unsafe to drive the car.\nDifferent frame damage levels can occur depending on the damage’s depth. Minor damage might pertain to injuries to the car frame that don’t directly affect the main structural support of the vehicle.\nIt can include things like scratches on the paint job of the car or dents in the outer panels. Meanwhile, major damage might pertain to damage jeopardizing the main structural support such as compromised alignment support, crumpled panels, and bent beams.\nThe crumple zones are areas of the car frame that you must consider when checking for frame damage. These zones are meant to protect passengers during a collision and can be found at the rear or front of the car. The zones are meant to absorb kinetic energy during a collision. They crumple or fold to protect the passengers and ultimately reduce the fatalities among passengers during collisions.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The Casting dates can be found on the right side of the block opposite the casting number. Special note for 68 and early 69 427 dates; these are located on the lower right side near the freeze plug and engine mount in the front of the starter motor. Another special note is for the 65 Tonawanda 327 block cast number 3858180; this number is located adjacent to the block number ending in the two year numbers, 65.\nEngine casting date codes start with the letter A through L corresponding with each month of the year January to December. Then followed by one or 2 numbers, 1 to 31, representing the day of the month. The ending number is for they year of production.\nThe engines came from 2 places and were then sent to St. Louis. The big block V 8's came from Tonawanda and the small block V 8's were from Flint. The castings for the small blocks, 265, 283, 327 and the 350 were done in the Saginaw Plant and then shipped to the Flint plant for assembly and machining. It seems the only exception was for the 65 small block, as noted above, that ended in a 2 year designation at the end of the casting date.\nEngine Identification Code Location\nEngine type identification and manufacturing code stamping was placed on a machined surface that is called a Boss. The location of the Boss is just to the rear of the ignition distributor opening for the 1953 to 1955 6 cylinder engines. For 1955 and later V8 engines the Boss is located at the right front top of the engine, on the pad just in front of the cylinder head. Take special note that the letter \"I\" is often the Roman numeral one when it is used for serial date coding.\nThe LAY prefix indicates the 1953 model year. The \"A\" is for the passenger engine type (not truck) and the Corvette 150 horsepower 235 cubic inch engine with Powerglide transmission. It is also indicative of being manufactured at the Tonawanda, New York, engine plant as shown by the Y. The last 6 digits are for the sequential production number.\n1954 to 1956\n1001 was the starting number used for the production numbers at the beginning of each production year. There is no correlation between the production numbers and the serial numbers other than higher serial numbered corvettes tend to have higher production numbers. A source identifier \"F\" for the Flint engine plant followed the serial numbers. Then the numbers 54, 55, 56 for the year of model and then the engine suffix code. Each year page in the Corvette Fact Section will have this information for each Corvette engine code. Chevrolet specified the model year in 1955 to be 255 for the 1955 Corvette with a 3-speed transmission. However, this has not been verified.\n1957 and beyond\nAs of 1957 the use of continuous serial numbering of the engine was discontinued. Engines were prefixed with source designations instead. F for Flint for the 1955 to 1966 small blocks, V or Flint V8 Engine Plant for the 1967 and later small blocks and T for the Tonawanda Plant for the 1965 big blocks and later. The next 1 or 2 digits were for the month of manufacture and after 1959 the 01 style was used making the use of 2 digits as standard. The next 2 numbers were for the month of manufacture and then everything was followed by the suffix code. Sometime in 1960 a VIN derivative was added to the engine pad.\nCasting Numbers for the Heads\nHead casting numbers for the 6 cylinder can be viewed without removing the valve covers. The number is located between the number 2 and the number 3 cylinder between the valves, directly above their exhaust outlet port. The valve cover must be removed to view the date code. The date code is the same as for engine blocks.\nThe 8 cylinder head valve covers must be removed to view both the number and the date code. The number is in the rocker area. The date code is read the same as the engine block dates. Special note for aluminum heads; casting dates re usually mold dates and these may not be casting dates. Aluminum heads also have a W inside a snowflake design, which stands for the Winters Aluminum Foundry Company. It should also be noted that in 1960 aluminum heads were not available for retail sale.\nCasting Numbers for the Exhaust Manifolds\nThe casting dates, when installed, may not be visible. Some manifolds do not have a casting date. The casting date is the same as for engine code dates except the code does not include a year. On the left manifold for a fuel injection 63 to 65, the manifolds do not have a machined hole for a heat tube. On the right exhaust manifold of the 57 to 65 there is no hole for the heat tube.\nVIN Plate Locations\nThe Vehicle Identification Serial Number or VIN plate is attached to the top left hand door hinge pillar below the remote door switch of the courtesy lamp. Phillips head screws attach it and the plate has rounded corners. Very early plates were magnetic stainless steel. The attachment holes were hand drilled. Later the plates were made of aluminum and machine stamping made the holes. Resign overcoats were used to cover the VIN plate and the screw heads were also filled to make it more difficult to remove the plate.\n1956 to Early 1960\nVin plate still has rounded corners and is attached to the door hinge pillar just below the top hinge and is still attached with Phillips screws.\nEarly 1960 to 1962\nThe placement has been moved to the top of the steering column mast jacket. It is about 13 inches towards the rear of the steering gear housing. The plate is attached by spot welding. The corners are still rounded\n1963 to 1964\nVIN plate has been moved to the body hinge pillar and is spot-welded. It is below the glove compartment. On June 15, 1963, a new design that still kept the rounded corners was placed in production. The letters DD were added for Delivery Date and a blank space provided so the dealer to stamp the delivery date of the vehicle to the purchaser. Many of the plates do not contain a delivery date due to the dealer breaking the weld when a stamp was applied to the plate.\n1965 to 1967\nAnother new design started in 1965. The plate had square corners and was riveted to the body hinge pillar brace below the glove compartment. The dealers broke many of the welds when they stamped the plates, hence the change in design to the use of rivets. Early 1965 rivets are circular and the later rivets are rosette shaped. There were still many dealers that did not stamp them with the delivery date.\n1968 to 1972\nOne more change to the placement happened in 1968. The plate was still attached by the rosette rivets and was now under the front window glass on the left hand windshield pillar. This made it more difficult to remove the plate, as it would now require the removal of the windshield.\nAdditional notes on the VIN\n1953 to 1959: \"E\"(53 to 57) or \"J\" (58 to 59) prefix indicates Corvette model. The \"V\" was used in 1955 to reference the V-8 engine. The prefix was followed by a 2 digit model year. The word \"Flint\" (in 1953), the \"F\" for Flint and the \"S\" for St. Louis came next and then a 6 digit sequential production number was last.\n1960 to 1964: The first place of the VIN number was for they last digit of the model year. In 1963 and 1964 the 4th digit a 6 was used to indicate Coupe or a 3 to indicate a Convertible. The S was the code for the St. Louis plant and was followed by a 6 digit sequential production number.\n1965 to 1971: All Corvettes in this time frame start with 19467 or 19437. The 1 shows it is from the Chevrolet Motor division. The 9 shows that it is a Corvette model. The 4 is for the V-8 engine. The 67 is for Convertible and the 37 is for Coupe. The sixth place is for the last digit of the model year. The S is for the St. Louis plant. In addition, the last 6 numbers are the production sequence numbers.\n1972: The meaning of the numbers change again. Another space has been added. The 1Z is for the Chevrolet Corvette model. The next 2 are 67 for convertible and the 37 for coupe. The next place is a single letter, which is for the engine type and will be a K for the base V8, L for LT1 or W for the 454 engine. The next number is for the last digit of the model year, which is followed by the S for the St. Louis plant. Than the last 6 numbers are the production sequence numbers.\nThe Carter carburetor number will appear on a metal triangle shaped tag attached to the bowl on YH models or the air horn of WFBC and AFB models. The throttle body base of the AFB models are stamped with the identification numbers and may not have a tag affixed. The tag also has a date code. The code was just the Letter A to M, not including the I to represent each month from January to December.\nThe identification number and the date of manufacture for the Holly are stamped into the forward vertical surface of the air horn. The code is broken down as follows. The first place is the last digit of the manufacture year. The second place is used for the month. The month was coded as a number 1 through 0 for January to October and then the letters A and B for November and December. The 3rd digit in the code is used to indicate the week of the month. There is a variation of the numbering system used for the Holley. This code was 4 digits and the first 3 are used to designate the day of the year and the last one was used for the year of manufacture.\nThe Rochester Quadrajet has the Identification numbers stamped into the vertical boss on the driver's side secondary throttle shaft. The code of manufacture is also at this location. Rochester had some carburetors that were made by Carter and show the Carter designation.\nFor the Fuel Injection identification there is a metal tag riveted to the plenum on the left side. The model number and a serial number started with 1001 for each series. About 100 that were used on the 1957 Corvette had no tags and has instead a number that has been hand stamped into the plenum. The fuel meters have a triangle inspection tag mounted at the 10 o'clock screw position on the power enrichment diaphragm cover. The tag contains the model number and the manufacture date code standard.\nThe air and fuel meter part numbers and the serial numbers were all hand stamped.\nRear Axle Identification\n1953 to 1962\nThe serial code is stamped on the front right side of the differential housing. The prefix code is followed by 1 or 2 numbers for the month of manufacture followed by the day of the month. Standard rules apply.\n1963 and Beyond\nThe codes for the Axle are stamped just forward of the cover on the bottom of the differential housing. The standard code of dating is used that indicates the manufacture date, the plant and the type of the axle.\nStarter Motor Information\n1953 to 1956\nThe serial number is the date of manufacture and is stamped onto a Delco-Remy tag that has been riveted to the starter housing.\n1957 to 1972\nThe date code serial number is stamped directly on to housing. The standard date code rules apply. No I was used for the month code.\nDistributor number and the date coding\nThe distributor cap must be removed to view the code number, as it is visible on the contact point plate. For the Carbureted unit a black metal Delco tag is riveted to the housing up to 1962. After 1962 their number is located on an aluminum band that is wrapped around the neck of the distributor shaft. For the fuel injection unit the date information is on a plate that attaches to the body starting with the 1110914 model. Earlier fuel injection models have the black Delco tag. The standard date code rules apply where \"I\" is not used.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Surprisingly, the turbine kind of jumps out of the photo too. The sky looks rather gray and dreary, yet the turbine, most of which are generally white, isn’t lost in the image. Kudos to the photographer. Everything is toned just right.\nAlso, I think the centerpiece package in which the picture was used works well. The design is very clean. The headline and deck both fit perfectly between the blades of the turbine, and the story fits nicely down the side of the turbine’s support column, leaving the right portion of the picture void of text. This is good because it allows the composition of the photo to shine so the reader can see the row of turbine’s stretch out to the horizon.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

With over 700 horsepower available right off the showroom floor, how could anyone top that? Give it a few years and the Ram 1500 has entered the high-powered truck wars. No longer is the Ford F-150 Raptor the only show in town. Make way for the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX.\nTuro host Sean’s Ram truck is anything but sedate. While MoPar fans will be familiar with the 1500 model, the addition of the TRX name cranks up the extreme factor to 11… and then some. Under the hood of the Ram TRX is the familiar 6.2L Hemi V8 engine. However, unlike the “standard” Hemi, the TRX is supercharged like its Dodge Hellcat brethren. That means the TRX pumps out a monstrous 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque good for a sub-four second 60 mph sprint — in a pickup truck! To put that into perspective, the Ford Raptor is anything but a slouch, but its 450-horse twin-turbo 3.5L V6 is going to have a lot of ground to make up when pitted against the Ram TRX.\nWhile the TRX can impress with numbers alone, there’s more to this pickup’s story. The power is sent through an eight-speed automatic, but more importantly, the TRX is a full-time 4×4. So whether it’s dry pavement, fresh powder, or maybe loose sand in the desert, the Ram TRX is ready to tear things up (Keep in mind off-roading is prohibited with any vehicle booked on Turo).\nA lot of trucks have four-wheel drive, but the TRX takes things a step further in the chassis department with a beefed-up frame and additional ground clearance, and its special Bilstein shock absorbers and 35-inch all-terrain tires are ready to handle the rigors of heavy truck stuff.\nA truck with gargantuan muscle like the Ram TRX isn’t going to have a subtle appearance like more pedestrian trucks. To make sure you don’t mistake the TRX for anything else, it comes equipped with bulging fender flares, plus an aggressive hood scoop to feed air into the supercharged power plant. Sean’s TRX looks extra menacing on the road thanks to its black exterior paint.\nDespite the drag racer performance, passengers of the Ram TRX don’t have to worry about a spartan interior in the name of all-out speed. Hop inside the five-seater quad cab and you’ll be treated to leather upholstery and special TRX themed red stitching that nicely adds a bright contrast to the otherwise dark interior scheme. For those rare moments when you want to just cruise at a mellow pace and enjoy the scenery, there’s even a panoramic sunroof. The TRX also comes with a 19 speaker Harman Kardon audio system, so you can listen to your favorite tunes wherever your adventures might take you.\nIn a world shifting to autonomous and electric vehicles, it’s refreshing to know that enthusiasts can still look forward to raw creations with bonkers performance, even at the sacrifice of any semblance of fuel efficiency (12 mpg combined). The Ram 1500 TRX is one of those rare occasions when an automaker sets practicality aside in pursuit of making a statement. A Ram TRX may not be a common sight on the road, but when you’re in the presence of one, everyone will see it, hear it, and a Ford Raptor may want to move over before the TRX eats it.\nAuthor: Joey Crosetti\nSeptember 22, 2021", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The task of finding a qualified, affordable contractor is something that many simply dread. However, by applying the guidance that follows below, the process can actually be far easier than many might have imagined, so keep on reading.\nDo not be surprised if the HVAC contractor you choose does an evaluation on your home. Any good contractor will spend time looking at the system you currently have and what the needs are for your home. They will also take a look at your duct system and look for air leaks.\nDon't hire a contractor until you know a little about what you are facing. It will be hard for a contractor to give you a price estimate over the phone if they have not seen your current system. Getting an estimate will be even more difficult if you cannot adequately describe the problem. So, know this information in advance.\nOne of the most important things to consider when purchasing a new heating and cooling system is the manufacturer's warranty. Units come with a variety of warranties. Choose one with a long warranty for maximum long term savings. Generally, it is advised that homeowners should purchase the extended warranty if one is offered.\nIn order to cheaply cool your home, turn the temperature up. If you take a few showers a day or just drink a cold ice water, you'll find that you're saving a lot of money on your utility bills by keeping the thermostat a little higher than usual in your home.\nIn the winter, wearing layers can save you a ton of money on your utility bill. If you can install a digital thermostat that makes the house cooler when you're asleep and warmer just before you get up, you can see significant savings on your next bill when it arrives.\nAvoid showering your outdoor unit with grass clippings when you mow the lawn. Aim your grass cuttings in a direction away from your unit. This is the same if you are using a leaf blower.\nThe correct HVAC system should have sealed air ducts to minimize heating or cooling loss as air travels to different rooms. The heating or cooling requirements of different rooms in the home should be taken into consideration. There is no reason to increase energy usage by controlling the temperature in rooms that are used very little.\nWhen you are no longer using your outdoor air conditioning unit, be sure to protect it with a tight cover. This will keep it free of debris, frost and snow so that you'll have a working unit when the spring comes and you are ready to uncover it and use it again.\nManage the heat flow into your home with window coverings to help out your HVAC system. In the warmer months, use drapes, curtains and blinds to block out sunward facing windows to keep heat from building up through the greenhouse effect. Alternatively, make sure that sunlit windows are letting light and warmth in during the colder months.\nTo boost your home HVAC's efficiency, install solar screening. It reflects sunlight back outside, stopping it from heating up your home. Your air conditioner will be able to run less in the daytime, and your energy bill will plummet as a result. You can install this on any glass you have, doors or windows.\nLooking for an efficient way to cool your home? Consider installing a whole-house evaporative cooler. They use water to cool air instead of traditional chemical coolants, using a ton less energy to cool your home than those other units. That said, they do work best in dry climates and not at all in humid ones.\nYou should focus on finding an HVAC contractor that can offer you a warranty on the work they are doing. This is a sign that they are confident in their ability to get the job done well. This will protect you in the event that is not done right and needs to be fixed.\nWhen you are looking to buy a new air conditioner, consider your climate. If you live in a hot, dry area, then an evaporative cooler will be your best bet. If you live in a humid area, opt for a compressor-style unit as it's the only one which will work.\nAlways ask for references before you allow anyone to start doing work on your HVAC system. Call several of them to make sure that they are legitimate. Many people take the word of the contractor when it comes to customer satisfaction and that can prove to more info be a mistake in the end.\nMake sure things don't get too hot or cold where your thermostat is. Any electronics or heat sources like lamps or televisions nearby can trick the thermostat into thinking the home is warmer than it actually is. This just means it runs your air conditioning longer than necessary, wasting energy and money.\nWhen you have a short list of contractors to consider, ask the people on their reference list about not only the service they received, but also how well the system is still running. Did they need more work down the road? Has the company come back to make things right?\nWhen your HVAC system is older than 15 years, the time has come to get yearly check-ups. These systems aren't expected to make it past two decades, so you have to monitor them for any issues which may crop up. In fact, new systems will be more efficient, so it might be time for an upgrade.\nAsk your neighbors who they have fixing their HVAC systems. Neighborhoods are often built at the same time and will have the same set-ups for heating and cooling. That means if someone did a good job on their unit, they should offer you the same high quality service as well.\nDon't just hire the first contractor you meet or call. Be sure to compare multiple options before going ahead with one. They should meet all of your requirements, be it offering a great guarantee to being able to come and do the work on your budget and within your timeline.\nKeeping your home's HVAC system working properly is a must if you want to avoid extremes of heat and cold. However, sorting through all of the different options that are available to you can be tricky.

With passenger rail the preferred mode of short and medium distance travel, the route would likely be attractive to travelers making the trip be it business, educational trips and student travelers, cultural and sports outings, and tourism. Travelers from Dubuque to Chicago and Chicago to Dubuque would be well-served by a passenger train.\nImportant is the plans for improved infrastructure, new equipment and new technology that makes travel time competitive with other modes. Several states working cooperatively means high-speed Next Generation equipment is on order. Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and California joined together for a large order of engines and passenger cars. The engines are on order with the Siemens Company and are being built in California. Nippon Sharyo won the contract for the cars and built a new plant at Rochelle, Illinois. Regrettably, the latter encountered a failure in an 800,000-pound stress test and is back to the design board to correct the problem.\nAbove is the engine being built by the Siemens Company. The representation below shows a typical unit that would serve the Chicago-Dubuque route. Note the color scheme is for illustration purposes only.\nThe passenger car initially announced for the train as shown above failed a production stress test. A November 2017 announcement notes new passenger coaches for California and Midwest corridor trains will now be filled by Siemens. The joint order by Caltrans and Illinois Department of Transportation is for 137 cars, 88 of which are for the Midwest. The coaches are expected to be similar to the cars Siemens is delivering to Brightline.\nThe press release touts “spacious, modern interiors that focus on passenger comfort and convenience, such as Wi-Fi, spacious seats with convenient power outlets, large windows with great views for all passengers, bike racks, overhead luggage storage, work tables, state-of-the-art restrooms with touchless controls and full ADA accessibility throughout the cars.”", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

However, when it comes to AI, robotics, hyperautomation, or any of those other buzzing innovations of the Digital Age, they can all be regarded to owe their conceptions to the systems and processes of a particular innovation that goes back to even before the 1900s: CNC machining.\nIt’s known well that CNC machining can produce virtually every kind of machinery needed in any type of manufacturing. What might not be such broadly-held knowledge is that the systems and processes grown for CNC machining are the roots from which the very similar systems and processes of most highly-complex modern digital capabilities have sprouted.\nWhat is it about CNC machining to which modern digital capabilities owe their existences? Let’s break it down to the core components: CNC machining is all about establishing better precision, better efficiencies, and altogether better costs. Think about AI and robotics. What do those do for the many industries that utilize them? That’s rights–just like CNC machining, when you break them down to their base purposes, AI and robotics too are all about improving precision, efficiencies, and costs.\nThis is not a new concept. The Digital Revolution is also known as the Third Industrial Revolution. And just what CNC machining did between the first and second industrial revolutions is what AI and robotics are accomplishing in the third now. But guess what? CNC machining is right there with AI and robotics helping them to accomplish what they are doing.\nComputer numerical control (CNC) is automation itself. Via CNC in machining, products have become programs. The programs now behind products have established a different way of thinking which emphasizes scalability in addition to performance. Performance is important and a factor which CNC machining has never lost sight of; but in an ever- (and sometimes sporadically) changing environment members of most modern industries can attest to living in, the ability to rapidly scale is of equal importance to establishing high-level performance. How do we stay on top of this? Back to our main subject: it’s automation.\nBottom line: further enhanced automation is the force that keeps industries and individual companies afloat through the turbulent waters of all steady as well as rapid changes that can be expected in current times–especially from 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic, and whatever may eventually lie beyond. If you are interested in exploring automation for your business, start with where it began. Start with CNC machining.\nJim Dunkin, Owner of Deluxe Machine & Manufacturing in Burnsville, Minnesota is particularly apt to translate the vague concepts of automation through the (arguably) most practical source of automation since the First Industrial Revolution: CNC machining.

The semi-automatic Cartavox machine, developed and manufactured in West Germany by Dr. Rudolf Wobser in 1956, was an attempt to capitalise on the increased popularity of audio-messaging via discs and coin-operated disc-recording booths. The machine is an adaptation of a conventional disc-recorder but its ingeniously simple automatic push-button controlled system and light-guided microphone console, similar to that encountered in a recording booth, enables an unskilled operator to use the device. However, in spite of relatively strong sales of the recorder in Britain, the Cartavox enterprise met with misfortune and production of machines and recordable postcards ceased in 1958. The recently restored model used for this project is the only fully working machine of its kind in existence.\nThe Musée de la Carte Postale in Antibes has a large collection of historical sound postcards and many rare examples.

Why did he give it that name? He believed that the rotor of his machine would twist and penetrate the air, just as a screw or a drill does in the wood when they turn. In this way, Leonardo correctly interpreted that the air had consistency and we could lean on it to ascend.\nDescription and operation of the Leonardo da Vinci helicopter\nThe helicopter, whose structure measures about 15 meters in diameter, consists of two main parts:\nOn a structure of canes and wood, a spiral of linen fabric treated with starch is joined to cover the pores. A metal strip covers the outer edge of the spiral to reinforce it.\nThe central mast is fixed with four rods, which the crew would have to push to keep the rotor rotating.\nFixed disk under the rotor\nThe crew would walk on this disk and push the rotor rods. This makes the propeller rotate on the base.\nThe strength of four men would not have been enough to lift the weight of this structure. The helicopter might have been able to fly with a powerful modern engine. It would also be necessary to drastically reduce its size and weight.\nLeonardo also did not realize that when he got up from the ground, the fixed disc of the base would start to turn in the opposite direction to the propeller. His helicopter would have needed a tail rotor, as modern helicopters incorporate, to prevent the rotation of the base.\nThe historical background of the helicopter\nAround 400 B.C., the “bamboo dragonfly” existed in China. A toy made up of a propeller attached to a thin, cylindrical stick. Turning this stick between the hands quickly, the artifact quickly rose upwards.\nYou may want to see drawings of other flying machines thought up by Leonardo da Vinci in this other article in El Reloj de Sol.\nYou can find more information about Leonardo’s inventions in this Wikipedia article.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Well, people are having a different perspective already when it comes to their shower remodel since they want it to have a spa retreat ambiance.\nPerhaps, you’re thinking of having a rain overhead shower or a massage body multiple showers? Then you’ll ask how to accurately select a good one and install that on our next budget shower remodel.\nTherefore, for you to avoid expensive mistakes, you need to hire a remodeling contractor for this project and Fairfax Kitchen and Bath is here for you.\nWe have extensive experience and training that’ll ensure the stylish and timely completion of your shower renovation today! Inline, here are some of the important fixtures for your shower renovation.\n#1 Shower Valves\nOur technicians will help you choose and install the right kind of shower valve for your shower bath remodeling. This fixture is responsible for controlling water pressure and temperature.\nBasically, there are four types of shower valves and there are also diverters in the market. Let’s know each one of them below:\n- Temperature-control shower valves: This type regulates the temperature of the water coming out from your shower head. The water used for your shower comes from the same source for the water on your toilet, tub, and sink. Therefore, there’s a chance that it could be too cold or hot, depending on the weather.\n- Pressure-control shower valves: It controls the water pressure coming out from your shower head, toilet, and tub. We usually incorporate it inside your shower system.\n- Thermostatic shower valve: This is a high-end type since it has both functions: controlling water pressure and temperature. It also has some buttons and an LCD screen display to show you water temperature and pressure.\n- Mixing shower valve: This is the older version of the former, wherein you have two knobs for separately controlling water temperature and pressure.\n- Diverter valves: It’s a modern shower valve that comes in three types: tee, two- and three-valve diverter. In most homes, it’s the second and third types, which we commonly use for their shower redo.\n- Transfer valves: We install this valve if you want to install multiple shower heads since it can have two to four outlets. Also, we can install a digital control, so you can seamlessly regulate water.\n#2 Shower Trim\nOnce you’re done selecting the perfect shower valve, will move forward with shower trim kits. These are the ones you see on the outside, which include your shower head, handle, flange, shower arm, escutcheon plate, and shower cartridge.\nAlso, if you plan on having a tub and shower combo, then you’ll also be having a tub spout. If you’re having a difficult time finding the best shower trim brands, then our designer can help you.\nSo far, the best brands of shower trims are Moen, Embather, Delta, and Senselen. Choosing and installing this shower fixture is critical to the overall appearance and style of your best shower remodeling.\n#3 Tub Spout\nThis fixture helps you control the volume of water flowing to your bathtub. If you want your water flow to be gradual, then we’ll choose a longer and higher design. Additionally, here are the common types of tub spouts in the industry:\n- Diverter or non-diverter: It has a lift tub at the end where you need to lift it or push down if you want to redirect water from your shower to your tub.\n- Metallic or non-metallic: It’s made from stainless steel which adds beauty and durability to your remodel.\n- IPS Threaded or Slip Fit Connection: Your tub spout can be connected to the pipe in two ways: IPS threaded or slip fit. Check the bottom part of your tub spout, if it has a screw, then you’ll have a slip fit connection. If there is no screw, then it’s an IPS threaded connection.\nAmong all shower fixtures, your shower head dictates the spa retreat function and ambiance for your shower remodeling ideas. Our bathroom designers and shower remodel contractors will help you select the right shower head type for your lifestyle and budget.\nBasically, here are the popular types of shower head for your shower bath redo:\nThis is the standard choice among classic and modern homes, where we can install it on your wall or ceiling. Also, this type can be easily modified to suit your pipe system.\nThis type mimics the rainfall as the water gently massages your head and body. It usually has a wider spray head so that the water is evenly distributed like raindrops.\nThis type delivers more water than the rainfall, which imitates a waterfall. It gives a massage-like feeling on your body and head.\nWe usually recommend this type to complement your tub and fixed Showerhead. Likewise, it’s an excellent choice for children.\nMassage Shower Panel\nIt’s also called vertical tower spa, which is a combination of a fixed, handheld, and body Showerhead sprayers. You have a panel for controlling water flow and temperature.\n#5 Shower Arms\nYou need this fixture for connecting your Showerhead to your water pipe. Besides style, it also impacts water flow and how high your Showerhead must be based on the tallest person in your family.\nBasically, there four types of shower arms for you to choose from:\n- Standard: This type is usually 6” to 8” long and goes on a J-bend shape where it’ll be connected to a Showerhead. It’s easy to install and flexible in style. Conversely, its main setback is that water flow can be restricted or slower.\n- Straight: This shower arm is parallel with the previous one without the J-bent shape. The showerhead is installed at a right angle at the end of this shower arm. Also, it’s an excellent choice for modern shower remodels.\n- Gooseneck or S-Shaped: This type is gaining popularity among homeowners since it can elevate the height of your Showerhead. It comes pretty usefully for those shower areas with low headroom.\n- Ceiling mount: If you want gravity to pull down the water from your showerhead, then going for this shower arm type is best. Also, it works well for your rain showerhead.\nLooking for A Certified Shower Bath Remodeling Contractor?\nIf you still haven’t found a reliable remodeling contractor for your budget shower renovation, then call Fairfax Kitchen and Bath today!\nWe are a family-owned, licensed, and bonded remodeling company registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

To create this article, 11 people, some anonymous, worked to edit and improve it over time.\nThis article has been viewed 53,554 times.\nThe concepts in checking a late-model 5-speed or 6-speed Ford automatic transmission are very similar to checking the fluid level in a differential. You remove a plug and see if some dribbles out. This article will walk you through the process, step by step.\n1Drive the vehicle for 10-15 minutes to warm it up. No need to get racy, just bring it up to operating temperature.\n2When you get back to your garage or favorite shade tree, drive it up on equal-height ramps or blocks. Give yourself enough room to work, and make sure it is both secure and level.\n3Move the range selector lever slowly through each gear. Stop in each position and allow the transmission to engage.\n4Place the range selector lever in the PARK position.\n5Set the emergency brake. Make sure the vehicle is stable. Get out and leave it idling in PARK and with the brake set.\n6Don your protective gear. Carefully crawl under the vehicle. Warning: The hot exhaust pipes will burn you in an instant! Move slowly and carefully; no need to rush.\n7Position your drain pan underneath the drain. Bring rags.\n8Hold the larger drain plug with a wrench and remove the small (center) fluid level indicating plug using the Torx bit. Don't loosen that larger plug or you'll be walking! The fluid that will come out will be very hot!\n9Keep the motor running until you have replaced the drain plug, tightening it to 89 inch (226.1 cm)-pounds (hand tight with a screwdriver-handled tool).\n- A little bit of fluid should dribble out - this is normal.\nMethod 1 of 1:\nIf you need to add some fluid\n1Keep the motor running. The transmission needs to have fluid actively being pumped into all the passages.\n2Screw your (clean) fluid pump onto your bottle of high quality transmission fluid.\n3Carefully screw the special Ford transmission plug adapter into the drain hole.\n4Push the output-hose onto the special Ford transmission plug adapter.\n5Carefully pump about half the quart into the transmission, then pause to check.\n6Make sure your drip pan is in place, then remove the hose and watch for fluid flowing out.\n7Once fluid starts flowing out you're almost done. You just need to be patient for a couple of minutes until the flood subsides, then wrap it up.\n8Keep the motor running until you have replaced the drain plug, tightening it to 89 inch (226.1 cm)-pounds (hand tight with a screwdriver-handled tool).\n9With the engine at operating temperature, and the transmission in park, remove the transmission dipstick located conveniently under the hood. If the level is in the crosshatch area, you are good. If it's low, add til full. If it smells burnt, have it flushed. No need to crawl under the vehicle to check the level unless you have a manual transmission.Advertisement\nQuestionMy 2003 Ford Explorer transmission doesn't have a dip stick, how do I check the level?Community AnswerThere's a plug on the side of the transmission. With the vehicle running, in park, and on level ground, fluid should drip from the plug-hole if full.\nQuestionWhat type of fluid goes in a manual 91 Ford Ranger transmission?Community AnswerATF Dexron.\n- 2002-2005 Thunderbird\n- 2005-2009 Mustang\n- 2002-2009 Explorer\n- 2007-2009 Explorer Sport Trac\n- Applications: This was written for a 2004 Ford Explorer equipped with a 5-speed 5R55W automatic transmission. The same procedures should apply for other Ford vehicles with 5R555/5R55N/5R55W transmissions.\n- 2002-2006 Lincoln LS\n- 2003-2005 Aviator\n- 2002-2009 Mountaineer\n- Time: Approximately 2.5 hours\n- As of this writing, the example vehicle has nearly 100,000 miles (160,000 km) on it, with over 10,000 of those miles pulling a 4,000 pound full size travel trailer from the Southeastern US to the Southwestern US to the Rocky Mountains and to the Great Lakes. Under these severe conditions, the fluid is changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) and the vehicle has no problems so far.\n- You will be doing this with the vehicle hot and idling. There is a world of instant pain and permanent scarring if you're not careful here. Wear long a heavy sleeve shirt with a high wool or cotton content.\n- About over-filling and under-filling: Others have published research on what happens if you get too little or too much fluid in an automatic transmission. Neither is good. Over-filling can cause foaming, excess pressures, and leaks. Under-filling can cause slipping, starvation for lubricant, and wildly fluctuating pressures. Both cause premature transmission failure.\n- Throughout this whole process you have to keep your motor running, because as soon as you turn it off, fluid will start draining out of passages and cooler lines down and out of your transmission. That's bad.\nThings You'll Need\nSupport wikiHow's Educational Mission\nEvery day at wikiHow, we work hard to give you access to instructions and information that will help you live a better life, whether it's keeping you safer, healthier, or improving your well-being.

This is based on a design by Ingo Maurer. Here's a picture of the Maurer lamp.\nHere is the schematic for the first 9 strings of LEDs and resistors:\nIn reality, however, there will be 168 strings, for a total of 504 LEDs. Notice that these 9 strings only draw 187.1 mA. This means that the entire lamp will probably draw about 3.5 Amps at it's brightest, and it will be extremely bright. The lamp will be powered by a simple ~ 4Amp 12-volt power supply with a variable current limiter using a MOSFET and variable resistor.\nHere's the board layout of a smaller version with only 26 strings:\nAs this circuit board isn't an \"off-the-shelf\" item, I'm having the good folks at ExpressPCB etch one to my specifications. They have a great process where one can use their software to \"build\" your schematic and board, and then send it to them electronically. They then etch it and ship it overnight. You can have a custom board delivered to your door within a few days (or faster, if you're willing to pay to expedite the service). Pretty neat.\nThe board will be held above the desk by a small vice-grip pliers, welded to a steel rod. At its other end, the rod will be welded to a 2\" diameter solid metal ball, held in place by a large metal bushing welded to a steel plate. I've not yet completed designing the armature apparatus. Because it's relatively low voltage, I've decided to leave the circuit board completely exposed - It's cooler looking that way. Although, I may coat it with a few layers of varnish to afford some protection against accidental spills.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It was given in memory of Thomas William (Willie) Kite, son of Thomas Kite of “Woolstone”.\nIt was manufactured in Clapham, London in 1883 and shipped across the world by ship and bullock wagon to its present site. It was first played on Sunday 29 July 1883.\nThe maker, A Hunter and Son, showed great understanding of the Australian circumstances which existed at the time. The organ lacks any reed stops, no doubt because such stops require regular tuning and he anticipated the lack of skilled people to do this work.\nThe organ has been in use every Sunday with the exception of a period during 2020 when church services were prohibited due to Coronavirus. To the best of our knowledge it has never broken down and remains in “almost” original condition, with the exceptions of an electric blower, an electric light, and a modified swell pedal.\nOriginally the organ was installed on a mezzanine level above the entrance to the church, but was moved to its current position in 1894. The manual pumping handle, which is still serviceable, would appear to have been moved from the left hand side to the right hand side at this time.\nThe manual pumping provision was used as recently as 2019 when the electrical supply authority needed to carry out maintenance and decided that shutting off electricity would cause minimal disturbance if they did it on a Sunday morning.\nThe specification of the organ is limited, but despite the small number of different ranks, the builder has provided an adequate variety for normal use in leading church worship. It is not a concert instrument, but represents a masterly compromise in the selection of a limited number of stops which allow it to deliver from some quiet string pipes for meditative voluntaries, up to a full chorus for lively congregational singing.\nThe following is a link to the organ’s entry on the Organ Historical Trust of Australia website.\nNowadays we are again faced with a shortage of skilled organ builders and tuners, but we are fortunate that Ian Brown and Associates attends once or twice a year from Ballina. Conveniently, they also maintain the organ in the Bathurst All Saints Cathedral, which is a much bigger instrument than ours and requires attention about four times a year, so it is possible to schedule visits to both organs during the same trip.\nTime has taken its toll on the organ and the most significant things are the drying out of the timbers in the windchests leading to cracking and air leakage, drying and deterioration of the stoppers in the stopped pipes, which affects their tuning and tone, and deterioration of the leather in the bellows, which while not giving any trouble so far, cannot be expected to last much longer.\nThe cost of a rebuild would be in the order of $50,000 to $80,000 and we cannot see it being possible to make such an expenditure at the present time.\nThis was not the first organ installed in this Church. In 1841 a Barrel Organ was installed which played 12 tunes. At the time it was the largest musical instrument brought over the mountains. In 1863 it was converted to allow it to be played from a keyboard.\nThe Original Church Hall has now been sold and is in private ownership. There was an organ installed in that Hall which has recently been reinstalled at West Granville. Details of this organ are available on the Organ Historical Trust Website.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Finally, drone operators are not always responsible people and still do not understand all the risks of using drones near the airports.\nBel Trading & Consulting Ltd, a company specializing in protecting aircrafts from birds and drones, pays great attention to the problem of uncontrolled and dangerous use of drones near the takeoff strips of civilian airports.\nAccording to the information of manufacturers of the most civil passenger airplanes, the modern aircraft engines are designed to resist the hit of small birds. However, drones are much heavier than birds; the drones are made not only of plastic, but also of very hard metal, and unlike birds they can damage the engines and windshields of the aircrafts and endanger the aircrafts. Therefore, it is impossible and dangerous to completely deny the risk of the drones slapping into the aeroengines on the take-off and landing.\nBel Trading & Consulting Ltd introduces automated systems for detecting UAVs and drones near the airports and integrated systems for suppressing control of UAVs and drones. Using powerful microwave pulses, such systems perturb the drone control channel before approaching the dangerous areas of the airports, and such UAVs and drones lose control and fall before reaching the boundaries of the hazardous areas.\nThe system for suppressing UAVs and drones is certified by the Civil Aviation Administration and is absolutely safe for the aircrafts and does not perturb the operation of the aircraft systems. The system can be deployed at any aerodrome in any climatic zone since all modules of the system are tight and moisture-proof and also designed to operate both in winter temperatures as well as in hot climates.\nMany modern airports in Europe and Asia are already installing similar security systems to protect airport runways from UAVs and drones. The products offered by Bel Trading & Consulting Ltd are currently important and necessary in the market and meet all modern standards and requirements.\nThe experience of Bel Trading & Consulting Ltd in the supply, installation, commissioning, adjustment, integration of automatic drone suppression systems for airports allows us to solve multifaceted and demanding tasks achieving the best results.\nBel Trading & Consulting Ltd is ready to cooperate in this field with both equipment manufacturers and system consumers and customers.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

These are essentially the mechanisms of a door – the accouterments that adorn a door in a functional sense, above and beyond its basic form (i.e. a rectangular piece of wood, metal, or other material in a frame). Let’s take a look at some of these common pieces of door hardware:\nLocks and Latches\nDoor locks come in a huge variety and this variety gets even greater if you look at how they have evolved through time. The basic principle of most locks is a bolt of some sort. This bolt need only be some sort of bar, cylinder, lug, or other contrivance that extends from the swinging part of the door into some kind of receiving area on the frame. This simply stops the door from swinging open.\nThis basic idea leads to locks of all types – ordinary keyed locks, hand operated dead bolt locks, simple latched locks, and so on. These all employ this same sort of locking mechanism. Even the ordinary latch that is turned by the door handle and fits into the latch plate is a kind of bolt, and on many ordinary keyed locks the handle is prevented to from turning when the door is locked so that this latch or bolt stays where it is, holding the door shut.\nHandles are directly related to locks as noted above. Turning the handle generally makes the latch come out of the latch plate, allowing the door to open. Handles are often of the common circular shape or have some other form such as straight, bar-like handles and so on.\nHinges are also an essential piece of door hardware. They, of course, allow the door to swing. They are mounted on one side of the door and on to the frame. Generally made of steel, brass, or some alloy, they need to be strong to support the weight of the door and to keep it swinging accurately and smoothly.\nThe foregoing are the main types of door hardware. These are all a door needs to function in a basic sense. There is, however, the possibility of adding other types of hardware to a door. For instance, one could conceivably add a door sweep at the bottom. This is most often a thin piece of aluminum with either a piece of rubber or a brush like fibers of some natural or synthetic material that prevent drafts from coming in under the door. These are very handy for drafty exterior doors and are often included with screen doors. They are usually screwed to the front of the door or otherwise affixed.\nOther pieces of additional hardware common to find are racks and hooks. Racks and hooks allow items to be hung on the door. Like the other pieces of hardware mentioned, they come in all shapes and sizes. They are often purchased by the end user of the door and screwed into place.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

However, there may be progress in this area. About an hour east of San Francisco, Altamont Pass has been testing solutions to resolve this issue plaguing the wind energy sector.\nOver the past years, Altamont has made efforts in reducing bird deaths by shutting down turbines in low wind months of winter as well as removing particularly hazardous turbines. Though today, an even larger effort is underway in order to decommission old turbines and replace them with new ones that will ideally kill fewer birds.\nThese new turbines are made with bonnet-like flaps that ring the perimeter of the turbine. The compact design is said to not only boost efficiency, but as they also sit above the typical height of bird flight paths, will greatly reduce the amount of bird deaths. However, there are still many tradeoffs. The larger, more efficient structures replacing the traditional turbines tend to sit four to five times taller than the older turbine, which still end up causing a great amount of deaths.\nAccording to Graham Martin, an ornithologist in the UK, experiments have shown that migratory birds do not pay attention to what’s ahead of them, rather looking side to side and to the ground for hunting efforts. So simply changing the visibility of a turbine is not an effective solution in reducing this problem.\nHowever, when comparing the costs and advantages of wind power over something like coal-powered plants, the impact on bird species may outweigh the environmental costs of nonrenewable resources. Ultimately, no technology comes without costs, but researchers will continue to work to mitigate its impacts.\nFor more information about this visit here:", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It leaves an oxidized cut surface. Compressed air can also be used for plasma gouging on carbon steel.\nHow many amps does a plasma cutter draw?\nFor 3/8” cut, 40 amps works out well for most brands of plasma cutters. For ½” cut, 50 amps works out well, etc. Keep in mind this isn’t the maximum thickness of cut that a plasma cutter is capable of cutting but rather, it is a good rule to follow for decent cutting speed and quality.\nWhat size breaker do I need for a plasma cutter?\nSeveral 12- and 25-amp plasma cutters, such as the Spectrum 125C or Spectrum 375, operate using 115 or 230 V power. If your input circuit has a 30-amp breaker, you even get equal cutting capacity at both voltages (with a 20-amp breaker, cutting capacity drops by 20 percent).\nHow thick can a 50 amp plasma cutter cut?\n1.0″50 Amp Digital Air Inverter Plasma Cutter handles cuts up to 1.0″. Designed for both demanding industrial and construction work, or home and hobby use. You can cut stainless steel, alloy steel, mild steel, copper aluminum, and other metal materials.\nHow thick can plasma cutter cut?\nabout 1 inchPlasma cutters are used to perform cutting and gouging operations, with the average hand-held system capable of cutting a maximum metal thickness of about 1 inch. Plasma typically requires a source for compressed air and a substantial amount of electrical power.\nWhat does a plasma cutter use to cut?\nPlasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well.\nCan I run my welder off a generator?\nThe truthful answer is not always a “yes”. Sure, plug virtually any inverter welder into a generator and it will likely operate to some level. But not all machines have the protection required to avoid damage from ‘dirty’ or unpredictable generator power supply in the long term.\nWill a 7000 watt generator run a welder?\nSubject: Re: 7000 Watt Generator, what will it handle? Size wise it should do fine with the MIG, Occasionally a generator and a load like a welder with an active rectifier section will have problems with instability. The factory units are tested as the combination welder/generator, but all bets are off in the others.\nHow much does it cost to run a plasma cutter?\nWhen it comes to operating cost, you have to take into consideration power, gases, consumables, abrasive, and routine maintenance cost. Plasma operating cost would again be the lowest, and is typically estimated at approximately $15/hour.\nCan you run a plasma cutter off a generator?\nRe: Running plasma off a generator Not all plasma systems work the same on a generator output. Plasma systems tend to have a relatively high inrush current…..which often can cause a voltage droop as soon as the arc tries to fire, which will cause the plasma to not fire.\nHow many watts does a plasma cutter use?\n1,320 wattsThe power of your plasma cutter can be determined by multiplying the voltage by the amperage. For instance, when you use a 12-amp cutter with a 110-volt power source, you will have up to 1,320 watts of cutting power, which can cut through quarter-inch steel [source: Miller].\nDo you need an air compressor for a plasma cutter?\nTherefore, all plasma cutters need an air compressor to generate enough air pressure for the task. If you buy a plasma cutter without a built-in source of air, you’ll need a separate air compressor.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Over the years, they’ve produced an impressive string of bikes—despite living hundreds of miles apart.That distance has proved hard to manage, so these equally talented builders each handle their own projects nowadays. Chris operates as Chappell Customs out of Los Angeles, while Rob spins wrenches in Ontario, Canada, under the alias Origin8or.\nThis is Rob’s newest build, and we’re still trying to pick our jaws up off the floor.\nIt’s a 1981 Honda CB900F. Or rather, it was: Rob’s bumped it up to 985cc and thrown enough upgrades at it to make our eyes water.\n“This build began three years ago,” Rob tells us, “right after I sold the white CB985 featured on Bike EXIF.”\n“I figured I would spend the winter building the white bike’s replacement. Fast forward to the present: After six more client builds and a GSX-R1100 personal ride later, I finally got the CB finished.”\nRob wanted his new CB985 to stand apart from its predecessor—so he decided to finish it in black and play with its lines a bit.\nEven though the donor bike’s fuel tank was in pristine condition he cut into it—reshaping it with knee indents and flush mounting a new pop-up cap.\nRob then customized a Kawasaki KZ1000 tailpiece to fit the Honda.\n(He’s made a mold of it, so that he can offer the unit to others via his\nwebsite). Brother Chris also makes seats under the ‘Tuffside‘ label, so Rob commissioned a one-off perch for his CB.\nIt’s an absolute knockout—upholstered with suede, carbon and leather, and finished with yellow stitching.\nUnderneath is a superbly crafted subframe, with a triangulated single\nshock mount. It’s hooked up to a 2008 Yamaha R6 swingarm and shock.\nMatching it up front is a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R750 front-end, capped off with a top triple clamp from Cognito Moto. Rob took care to clean up and brace the main frame where needed too.\nThe Honda’s rolling on new Carrozzeria V-Track forged wheels, with\nDunlop GP-A rubber (120 at the front with a whopping 190 at the rear).\nWave rotors at both ends, and braided hoses, add a smidgen more stopping\nAs mentioned, Rob tore the engine down and rebuilt it a little bigger. It’s now packing 985cc, helped along by a set of Keihin CR31 carbs and K&N filters. There’s also a new oil cooler, with braided lines and Earl’s fittings, and a stunning four-into-two exhaust from Cycle-X.\nAll the engine bits have been powder-coated gloss black, to\ncompliment the matte black engine block. There are stainless fasteners\nthroughout—and an anodized black billet sprocket cover from RICCI\nEngineering in Australia.\nRob ripped out the electrical system too—rewiring the entire bike with a car-style start switch, Dynatek ignition, new coils and an Antigravity lithium-ion battery. Everything’s been neatly tucked away, leaving the big four with a lean look (despite its brawny demeanor).\nThe CB985 is finished off with a long list of carefully selected parts. The clip-ons and foot controls are from Woodcraft; the latter are mated to adjustable Yamaha R6 rearset mounts.\nThere’s also an LED taillight with integrated turn signals, and a\nlicense plate bracket with illumination. With everything combined, the\nbike is totally street legal (there’s a Rizoma mirror too, but it didn’t\nmake it into the photos).\nThroughout the project, Rob wanted to walk the line between classic and contemporary. So finding the right color scheme was crucial.\n“I played around with many different themes—solid black, black\nsilver, solid silver—but they all made the bike look too new. I wanted\nto showcase the new parts, of course, but still wanted a retro feel that\nwould highlight some of the bike’s heritage.”\nThe final scheme turned out to be a cocktail of black pearl, metallic silver, lemon sting, liquid copper and metallic red. Rob handled the paint himself—along with all the welding, fabrication and engine work involved.\nAnd he’s completely nailed it: his CB985 is refined and crisp, but\nretains an air of brawniness and purpose. Now excuse us while we wipe\nthe drool from our keyboards.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Like most great classical artists, Michelangelo had apprentices who helped bring his visions to life. Today, some modern sculptors are inspired by the same materials as the Florentine master, but their assistants are less prone to error or fatigue—because they’re robots.\nStone carving and sculpture are fairly obvious applications for robots—computer numerical controlled (CNC) gantry-cutting devices, to be more precise. For decades, robots have been able to re-create virtually anything humans can design or make, only faster, more precisely, and less expensively.\nFor the Digital Stone Project, a nonprofit organization that connects artists with digital-design engineers and robotic stonework fabricators, the more interesting challenge is pushing the boundaries of automated stone-carving systems. The resulting artwork benefits from the imagination-stretching capabilities of digital-design software, as well as the precision of robotic drilling and chiseling.\nA participant at the Digital Stone Project workshop puts the finishing touches on her work. Courtesy Garfagnana Innovazione.\n“The robot just does what the 3D-design document tells it to do,” says Jon Isherwood, a sculptor who founded the Digital Stone Project in 2003. “The robot just does whatever you tell it to do and doesn’t take breaks. What an amazing assistant!”\nAutomation also accurately estimates the length of the fabrication process. “You have a better idea of your project’s economics than you ever would working by hand with human assistance,” Isherwood says.\nBut beyond the practical, the Digital Stone Project aims to discover what the software and robots can produce uniquely. “A Michelangelo, working in the 16th century, would use steel-forged tools like flathead chisels, points, and so forth, which would produce a certain surface,” Isherwood says. “A good example at the Accademia Gallery in Florence, where you can see the finely carved against the rough-carved surfaces. The robotic process is a removal process with a spinning head that moves across the surface. Artists and architects are beginning to embrace that and explore what it can do.”\nIn 2005, the Johnson Atelier (founded by sculptor Seward Johnson of the Johnson & Johnson empire) in Hamilton, NJ, decided to sell its stone division. Isherwood raised funds to buy out the foundation’s stake and, with a group of five sculptors, founded the Digital Stone Project to let artists continue to explore carving stone with digital technologies at a low cost. Their not-for-profit board ran the facility, providing services until 2011, when Isherwood refocused the mission solely on running artist’s workshops.\nThat left Isherwood without the infrastructure for digital design and fabrication. For that, he turned to the birthplace of the marble sculpture tradition: the mountains of Tuscany. Isherwood established a relationship with Garfagnana Innovazione, a company with the necessary technical depth and production capacity. Garfagnana is based in Gramolazzo, less than 90 minutes from Carrara, the source of the white or blue-gray marble prized in classical architecture and sculpture since the Roman era. Garfagnana was founded in 2011 to provide digital fabrication for architectural stonework. Italy is still the source of much of the world’s finest marble and boasts a substantial industry producing machine-milled ornamental stonework. Digital design and robotics are relatively new in that industry.\nSince 2013, Garfagnana has provided engineering, machinery, and materials—including robotics and scanning technology—for the Digital Stone Project.\n“The artists send us physical or digital models, and we translate them into designs in our software and do the actual fabrication,” says Lorenzo Busti, programmer/technician at Garfagnana. Although the engineers typically work from 3D computer-aided design files, they can 3D scan a physical model and scale it to the artist’s requirements.\nGarfagnana’s robots work on marble blocks about 1 square meter by 2 meters high (approximately 10.7 square feet by 6.5 feet high)—large enough to fashion a human figure. That’s about 6 tons of stone. Fabrication of a reasonably complex sculpture takes about four weeks. “For sculptors working in the traditional way by hand, that kind of project would take 10 or 11 months,” says Gabriel Ferri, a programmer of Garfagnana’s scanning and cutting software.\nThe carving typically proceeds in two stages, each managed by a separate program. Staging the process this way lets operators change the diamond-cutting tools as they wear out at predictable intervals or swap tools to apply specific edges. Marble is relatively soft compared to granite, which wears out cutting tools three times as fast as marble.\nUsing robotics could expand the market for architectural and ornamental stonework, making it available beyond its current luxury clients, Busti says. Designers could even have machines mass-produce the David or Pietà.\nThe Digital Stone Project’s annual workshop gives professional artists, designers, and architects a chance to work with advanced digital-sculpting technologies on a beautiful work site in Gramolazzo, Italy. Courtesy Digital Stone Project. “We do have customers who want to re-create classical designs,” Busti says. But that might miss the point: Robotics offer precision and measurability that augment human skill and imagination, enabling artists to dream far beyond the classical repertoire.\n“I’ve been exploring this intersection between form and surface,” Isherwood says. “It’s that moment when surface can have an identifiable marking from a tool that’s been instructed through digital processes. That’s bringing something new to my approach. I’m exploring the skin of the material. The robot allows specific incisions on the surface of the material that have a relationship to the overall form. They can swell; they can push, turn, twist, and accentuate the volumetric dynamic—the sensuality—of the form.” Explore the software that makes programming robotics a snap. READ MORE The robot acts on the stone, moving through seven axes to carve the material. “I just did a project for the Verona Stone Fair that brought together two surfaces that merged through one another,” Isherwood says. “Imagine a patterned surface that is concave and another surface that’s also concave; if you push them together, they intersect and create a third pattern.” New digital tools help bring the robot ever closer to the design process. Last summer’s Digital Stone Project workshop group used 3D scanners and virtual-reality tools to digitally sculpt the marble, and then Autodesk PowerMill sent instructions directly to the fabrication and milling robots.\nThe technology lets sculptors expand their creative vocabulary, which Isherwood likens to the impact computers have had on music. “Just as the software can create digital sounds that don’t come from analog instruments, the robot can give you a shape and form that doesn’t come from analog tools,” he says.\nStone sculptors exploring the possibilities in digital design, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will inevitably circle back to Michelangelo’s classic challenge: to discover the statue inhabiting the stone, waiting to emerge.\n“One artist, Michael Rees, requested from the engineers who programmed the software that the first cut into the stone would not be informed by anything other than the decision to remove material,” Isherwood says. “Then the next move would be a response to that change, and each additional cut would be driven by the previous changes. The robot would continuously work in a way you might call intuitive.”\nThat approach, Isherwood suggests, only scratches the surface of what machine learning could contribute to the creative process.\nThe Digital Stone project has run workshops for professionals for six years in Gramolazzo. “As long as artists, designers, and architects want to come out and experiment, I’m happy to keep it going,” Isherwood says. “Autodesk’s sponsorship over the past few years helps subsidize several graduate students’ participation. We run the program at cost. You go into the mountains and work with the robot, eat great food, and drink great wine—what better way to spend a month?”\nOriginally published Autodesk.com/redshift\nBy Peter Dorfman\nDecember 5, 2018", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

A forestry mulcher is a versatile and effective machine that not just removes trees and greenery yet also changes them into mulch right away. In this write-up, we will certainly discover the advantages and applications of forestry mulchers in land administration.\nForestry mulchers are made to be attached to different types of heavy tools, such as excavators, skid steers, or tractors, depending upon the size and range of the task. These equipments are furnished with a turning drum, fitted with sharp teeth or hammers, that shreds trees, brush, and other greenery into tiny items. This shredded material, or compost, can after that be left on-site to decompose naturally or made use of for other purposes, such as disintegration control, landscape design, or biomass fuel.\nOne of the significant benefits of making use of a forestry mulcher is its ability to clear land swiftly and successfully. Unlike standard land cleaning techniques, such as manual labor or excavators, which typically leave behind stumps and debris that require to be carried away, a mulcher can grind every little thing in its path. This not only conserves time yet also removes the demand for added devices and labor.\nAn additional benefit of using a forestry mulcher is its very little impact on the surrounding environment. With exact control and maneuverability, drivers can uniquely eliminate trees and greenery without creating unneeded damage to the dirt, root systems, or nearby structures. The mulched product works as an all-natural ground cover, which aids to stop dirt disintegration and preserve moisture, advertising healthy plants development.\nForestry mulchers are extensively utilized in various markets and applications. They are commonly employed in forestry and land administration jobs, such as getting rid of treking routes, maintaining power line passages, or developing firebreaks. Building firms additionally utilize these machines for site prep work, roadway building, and land recovery. Moreover, homeowners and towns use forestry mulchers for home growth, invasive plant species regulate, and storm damage cleaning.\nFinally, the forestry mulcher has actually become an essential device for effective land clearing up and administration. Its ability to quickly and successfully grind trees, brush, and greenery right into mulch makes it a flexible and green solution.

They're the skis that make it through hundreds of hours of engineering and crafting, testing and demo-turning to evolve into the best product on the market for mass amounts of skiers. And don't get us wrong: they're usually pretty great skis. The thing is, about ten years ago a new kind of ski climbed the ranks of the ski market: the custom ski. Born out of dissatisfaction with performance, demand for big mountain durability, and longing for personalized design, skiing enthusiasts with a knack for engineering started experimenting with building their own skis. These companies usually started as experiments out of college house garages, and with perseverance and commitment to great products, grew into highly successful businesses dedicated to making enthusiastic skiers the skis of their dreams.\nThere are some setbacks. One of them is cost. In general, you can expect a pair of custom skis to cash in at double the price of a mass produced pair. The upside is that the custom pair is built to last longer. Another setback is time – while it's possible to demo a pair of mass produced skis in the morning and walk out of the shop with a brand new pair of your own in the afternoon, custom skis take time. Expect to wait a matter of weeks – and sometimes months, if they're backed up – between the time of starting the design/order process to clicking in. But if you've got the time – and the investment – there's no reason you shouldn't be looking into your very own pair of custom skis. Here are five stellar reasons to buy custom skis:\n1. Improved Skiing Experience\nThis is the big one. An improved skiing experience was the reason that companies like Igneous in Jackson Hole got into the custom ski biz. The Tetons are notorious for wrecking skis of hard charging big mountain skiers: founder Mike Parris set out in the early 1990s on a mission to develop a high quality, creative product that could carry the most serious skiers through multiple seasons. One of the first custom ski companies, Igneous set the bar for highly personalized design that caters to an individual skier's height, weight, ability, skiing style, and terrain interests. When a ski is crafted so specifically, the result is a stable, playful, intuitive connection to the slopes. Backcountry skiers can request lightweight materials, big mountain experts specialized sidewalls, and speed junkies oversized edges for maximum stability. Master craftsman will help with design, but you've got the final say in your unique product. In the end, better skis make a better skier: that's what you can expect out of custom skis.\n2. Personal Flair\nHave you ever chosen a pair of skis because they look cool? No? Well, plenty of us skiers have. When I was about 10 I remember feeling extremely disappointed that the Salomons I wanted that season – the ones with fire graphics on the top sheets – were out of stock. I had chosen them solely based on the cool graphics. My ski selection has matured since then, but I'd be lying if I said the graphics on a ski didn't matter to me – and I'm betting that goes for a lot of skiers. When buying custom skis, part of the process is choosing what they actually look like. Companies like Folsom in Denver take their top sheet art seriously, employing local artists to craft custom designs for their retail products. If you have your own ideas for something uniquely \"you,\" designers welcome submission of your own graphics. You can also team up with an artist to craft something together. With custom builds, you don't have to choose between high quality product and personalized expression: the skis are entirely you.\n3. Small Business Support\nSupporting small businesses is not only cool – it's practical. Because of the nature of custom ski businesses, opting to purchase your pair through them directly supports the owners, artists, and community in which they all live. Custom ski companies are small operations that support the businesses in which they live by skiing and riding local resorts to test their products, employing local designers, and purchasing materials from local businesses. Companies like Praxis in North Lake Tahoe keep everything in-house: skis are designed and constructed 100% in the Incline Village warehouse, and tested on local ski hills. When you buy custom, your support stays community oriented.\n4. Eco-Conscious Practices\nThere's a dark side to the ski industry, and that's environmental impact. In the past five years, major resorts have taken steps to decrease ecological footprints with sustainable practices – and some custom ski companies have also taken notice. Seneca, which runs out of Bozeman, prides itself on its \"farm-to foot\" practices, which includes using FCS certified maple and poplar woods to support sustainable harvesting and use less plastic in the skis' cores. This construction design, which is demonstrative of many custom ski companies, cuts down on plastic and therefore waste when old skis are dumped into landfills. Custom skis are also designed to last years longer than mass produced brands.\n5. Commitment to Quality\nSkiers love to geek out on their gear, and custom ski engineers take that to the next level. Pete Wagner, founder of Wagner Custom in Telluride, developed his signature Skier DNA Design process to craft custom skis with painstakingly serious precision. His goal was to create a \"computer-assisted design and manufacturing package that could optimize shape and flex parameters for any specific skier.\" Today, Wagner backs its promise to quality with a money-back guarantee if a skier is not 100% satisfied with their product. In 2013, Wagner cranked out 1,000 pairs of custom skis, and were asked to rebuild 3. When you buy custom skis, you can expect a personalized, respectful exchange throughout the entire process – a commitment to quality service and quality product.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

In these cases the ideal tool is a spanner, but what do you do when you don’t have a spanner?\nDon’t stress, we have collected a list of common household objects you can use instead of a spanner.\nWhat is a Spanner Used for?\nSpanners are available in numerous types and sizes for a variety of various tasks and are a vital part of any tool kit. Used to loosen or tighten up nuts, bolts, pipes and pipes fittings they show their effectiveness sometimes over.\nWhat to Use if You Don’t Have a Spanner\nDuct tape works in nearly any scenario but you might be surprised to find out that you can use it to loosen up bolts. First tear off a section approximately 12 inches in length, after this tear it down the middle so you are left with two 12 inch strips.\nMake a strong tape strip by sticking one strip to the back (the non-sticky side), next wrap part of the strip around the nut leaving a ‘tail’ 6-8 inches long and press securely to guarantee it has abided by the metal nut. Pull the duct tape tail in the instructions required to loosen up the nut to easily remove it.\nWho would think that cash can be used as a makeshift tool? Take two big coins (2 cent coins work perfectly for this) and place them on either side of the nut. Grip the coins in between the knuckles of your index and middle fingers for additional grip and twist in the direction required to loosen up the nut.\nThese fantastic little tool kit devices aren’t simply utilised to clean cables and attach hubcaps, they can likewise be utilised in place of a spanner.\nPlace the zip-tie around the nut as securely as possible and utilising the tail of the zip-tie pull in the instructions needed to loosen or tighten the nut.\nAnother nut and bolt\nIf you don’t have any of the formerly mentioned objects but have lots of nuts and bolts lying around, you can still create a makeshift spanner with 2 nuts and 2 bolts.\nFirst, attach one of the nuts to among the bolts and place it on top of the nut you want to loosen up or tighten (so that the thread of the bolt is on top of the nut). Adjust up until the nut is grasped tightly between the head of the bolt and the nut.\nNow take the 2nd nut and connect it so that you can connect the two bolts, make certain that whatever is connected tightly and turn your production in the instructions needed.\nThere we have it, four options you can utilize to loosen up or tighten up nuts without a spanner. With this guide, there are no more reasons for why you have not done any of the jobs you stated couldn’t be done yet due to the fact that you do not have the tools!\nNaturally, it is constantly much better to have a tool kit with the basic tools required for basic DIY however with these quick fixes, you won’t be caught in a pinch again.\nPost Sponsored by ‘Emergency Glazier Stoke‘.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Francesco Schiavone, PhD, (PhD, BEng (Mech) – University of Florence, Italy, Senior Research Associate – Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia) compared the heat transmission from STEP Warmfloor® self‐regulating heating element with electric cable systems and water tubing systems.\nHis key findings was:\n- To give the same heat output, an Electric Cable system would require 2.5 times more wattage\n- To give the same heat output, a water tubing system (Hydronic) would require 2.08 times more wattage\nHow is this possible? “Watts are watts and give the same heat output.”\nThere is no discussion that an equal amount of wattage will generate the same energy output. So how can Francesco Schiavone claim that STEP Warmfloor® flat heating elements require less wattage to heat a floor? Is it to fantastic too be true?\nLet us take an example from the kitchen that most people are familiar with; You want to boil 10 cups of water in a large pot using 1000 watts.\nFirst you place the pot (A) on a large cooking plate, which has the same diameter as the pot. Then you place an identical pot (B), but on a smaller cooking plate. In which pot will the water boil faster?\nAs most of us have experienced, the stock pot (A) on the larger cooking plate will have the fastest boiling water with the same amount of energy.\nIt is all about distribution and transmission of heat. If you compare the surface area of a cable or water tubing with STEP Warmfloor®’s flat heating element it is similar to the different sizes of cooking plates. While cables and tubing only cover a fraction of the floor, an installation of STEP Warmfloor® flat heating element will cover more than 60% of the surface.\nThe challenge lies in changing the thought process from an efficient component to an efficient system. To have an efficient heating system, it is not sufficient that the heating product is good, it is as important that the heat distribution is designed properly.\nFor efficiency, it will also be necessary to take into consideration the location and type of construction, including thermal insulation and floor covering installed.\nWhen Francesco Schiavone made his calculations he based it on Newton’s law. According to Newton’s law, the rate of heat transfer to the surrounding air is proportional to the floor exposed area and to the difference between the floor temperature and the air temperature.\nWatt is still Watt, but when it comes to radiant heating of a house STEP Warmfloor™ is more efficient than cables and water tubing.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Among the various types available, water-based and electric underfloor heating systems stand out as two distinct options, each with its own set of advantages and considerations. It can be difficult to identify which system is best for your home, so we have curated this simple guide to help you decide.\n1. Installation and Complexity:\nWater Underfloor Heating: Water-based systems involve the installation of pipes beneath the floor, through which warm water is circulated. This type of underfloor heating is typically more complex to install, often requiring professional assistance and careful integration with the existing heating system. Water underfloor heating systems often require drawings created from the buildings architectural drawings. With the pipes secured to the floor through several techniques dependent on the flooring and underfloor heating manufacturer.\nElectric Underfloor Heating: Electric systems, on the other hand, consist of electric cables or mats installed beneath the floor surface. They are generally simpler and quicker to install, making them a more accessible option for DIY enthusiasts.\n2. When to Choose Water Underfloor Heating:\nNew Builds or Renovations: Water underfloor heating is often recommended for new builds or major renovations, where the installation process can be seamlessly integrated into the construction plans for the overall building.\nWhole House Heating: For larger spaces or entire houses, water underfloor heating is a preferred choice due to its ability to distribute heat more evenly. The system can be connected to a central boiler, allowing for efficient heating throughout the entire property.\nIntegration with Existing Heating Systems: If you already have a hydronic heating system in place, extending it to include water underfloor heating makes sense. This integration can improve energy efficiency and reduce overall heating costs.\nLower Operating Costs in the Long Run: While the initial installation cost may be higher, water underfloor heating systems can offer lower operating costs over time, especially when paired with energy-efficient boilers.\n3. When to Choose Electric Underfloor Heating:\nRoom-by-Room Heating: Electric underfloor heating is ideal for specific rooms or areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or home extensions. Its simplicity makes it well-suited for targeted heating solutions.\nRetrofitting: If you're looking to add underfloor heating to an existing space without undergoing major renovations, electric systems are a more practical choice. The installation process is less invasive, making it suitable for retrofitting. Electric underfloor heating often has a much lower profile than water underfloor heating, so does not increase height of the floor dramatically.\nInstallation Time: Electric underfloor heating can be installed rapidly. Small areas such as bathrooms could have underfloor heating installed in just a day.\nIndividual Temperature Control: Electric underfloor heating allows for more precise temperature control on a room-by-room basis. This is advantageous when different areas of the house have varying heating requirements.\nQuick Warm-Up Time: Electric systems heat up quickly, providing almost instant warmth. This feature is beneficial for spaces where on-demand heating is desired.\n4. Considerations for Both Types:\nFlooring Types: Both water and electric systems are compatible with a variety of flooring types, but it's essential to consider the specific requirements and limitations for each. For example, certain electric systems may be better suited for use under tile or stone floors, you can find out more about this in our Information Hub.\nEnergy Efficiency: Both systems can be energy-efficient, but the overall efficiency depends on factors such as insulation, the type of flooring, and the heating demands of the space. Proper insulation is crucial to maximize the efficiency of either system. For large rooms, water underfloor heating will generally yield higher efficiency.\nCost Considerations: While electric underfloor heating systems may have lower upfront costs, water systems can offer long-term savings in terms of operational expenses. Consider your budget and long-term heating needs when making a decision.\nThe choice between water and electric underfloor heating ultimately depends on your specific requirements, budget, and the nature of the project. Water systems are well-suited for larger spaces and new builds, offering efficient whole-house heating. Electric systems, on the other hand, are more versatile and cost-effective for targeted heating solutions and retrofitting. Before making a decision, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org and we can discuss your options further.\nIf you have decided what type of system you need, we stock a wide range of electric and water underfloor heating that can be found here.\nAbove is an example of an installation plan completed by our experts here at Reid Heating Supplies.

See shearing, hot-forging, roll threading, and hot-dip galvanizing of these 3/4″ x 24″ timber bolts. See more videos on our channel at www.youtube.com/pdxbolt.\nHello, my name is Mike Monlux with Portland Bolt & Manufacturing Co.\nI’m holding in my hand a 3/4″ x 24″ galvanized timber bolt. These are also referred to as economy bolts, dome-head bolts, or mushroom head bolts. The oversized, dome-shaped head on these bolts creates a large bearing surface eliminating the need for a malleable iron washer under the head. These bolts are commonly used in marine construction and the final destination for this particular bolt is Hydaburg, Alaska.\nFor this order, we made over 6,000 timber bolts in various lengths, in both 3/4″ and 5/8″ diameter. Portland Bolt manufactures timber bolts for marine projects throughout the country, and even overseas. And we perform all of the manufacturing processes, including hot-dip galvanizing, right here in our facility in Portland, Oregon. Right now we’ll take you through a step-by-step look at the various manufacturing processes involved in making these bolts.\nThe timber bolts for this order are manufactured from A36 mild steel material, which we receive in 20-foot lengths from a steel mill just down the road in McMinnville, Oregon. After the steel is taken off the racks, the first step in the manufacturing process is cutting the bars of steel to length. This is done by shearing the steel, a process which cuts the steel extremely efficiently, chopping the steel like a guillotine.\nThe next step in making timber bolts, is to hot-forge the head of the bolt. An induction heating coil heats the end of the round bar to approximately 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The timber bolt head is then forged onto the heated end of the bar. After the bolts are headed, they move on to threading.\nThere are two distinctly different ways that bolts can be threaded: cut threading and roll threading. These bolts will be roll threaded. Roll threading is an extrusion process in which steel round bar is forced between two dies to form the threaded portion of the bolt, instead of being removed as in cut threading. Roll threading is another very efficient operation, which results in a cost savings for the customer.\nNow that the bolts have been made, the final step is to galvanize them in our hot-dip galvanizing tank. Before the bolts are dipped in zinc, however, they must be prepared so that the steel bonds properly with the zinc.\nThe pickling process involves submerging the bolts in caustic soda, rinsing them, and submerging them in sulfuric acid. These processes remove any scale and prepares the surface of the steel to accept the zinc. The bolts are then placed in our hot-dip galvanizing tank, which is filled with 840 degree molten zinc.\nAfter the bolts are removed from the zinc, they are spun in a high-speed, centrifuge system to spin any excess zinc from the threads, so that they easily accept a nut. The bolts are then cooled in quench tanks, and inspected to ensure that the excess zinc has been properly spun out of the threads.\nThe bolts are then put in boxes, palletized, and marked clearly with the destination, contents, and any other relevant information. The order is then put on a truck, on the day we’ve promised to ship, and sent on its way, to its final destination.\nFor more information on timber bolts, or Portland Bolt in general, please visit www.portlandbolt.com", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

We assume a full quasi-Keplerian disk with the azimuthal velocity deviating from the Keplerian fashion by a factor of ξ (0 < ξ < 2). In our approach, we vertically integrate the radial component of the momentum equation to obtain the radial pressure gradient equation for a thin quasi-Keplerian accretion disk. Our results show that, at large radial distance, the accretion disk behaves in a Keplerian fashion. However, close to the neutron star, pressure gradient force (PGF) largely modifies the disk structure, resulting into sudden dynamical changes in the accretion disk. The corotation radius is shifted inward (outward) for ξ > 1 (for ξ < 1), and the position of the inner edge with respect to the new corotation radius is also relocated accordingly, as compared to the Keplerian model. The resulting PGF torque couples with viscous torque (when ξ < 1) to provide a spin-down torque and a spin-up torque (when ξ > 1) while in the advective state. Therefore, neglecting the PGF, as has been the case in previous models, is a glaring omission. Our result has the potential to explain the observable dynamic consequences of accretion disks around magnetized neutron stars.\n- Research Articles", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Pressure cookers combine high heat and high pressure to save time cooking meals.\nPressure cookers, insta-posts, and similar kitchen devices have become quite trendy in recent years. Unfortunately, as their popularity grows, more and more people are suffering severe injuries because of pressure cooker explosions.\nSome injured victims of pressure cooker explosions have filed lawsuits against manufacturers, alleging they were defective and dangerous. If you suffered serious injuries from a defective pressure cooker, you might be entitled to file a lawsuit and collect substantial damages for those injuries.\nHow Do Pressure Cookers Work?\nPressure cookers work by using pressure and heat to quickly break down and flavor the foods that are cooking inside the pot. They cook under high heat and high pressure.\nPressure cookers have various safety features that are supposed to prevent accidents and injuries. Because of the high pressure, however, if any of the safety valves or other parts do not work properly, the result can be a dangerous explosion that propels the scorching contents and parts of the pressure cooker in all directions, causing serious burns and other injuries.\nHow Can Pressure Cooker Explosions Cause Injuries?\nWhen a pressure cooker explodes, the lid blows off the top, sending extremely hot contents into the air. Anyone nearby can suffer severe burns when it with hot food and liquid.\nThe lid itself can cause also injuries when it flies into the air, hitting innocent victims in the eyes, head or other body parts. Pieces of debris can become embedded in the victims causing severe lacerations and other injuries.\nAccording to NLR, the people have allegedly suffered some of the following injuries and required medical treatments because of exploding pressure cookers:\n- Third-degree burns\n- Second degree burns\n- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and concussion\n- Broken bones\n- Permanent scarring\n- Skin grafts\n- Painful debridement\n- Eye injuries, including temporary and permanent loss of vision\n- Blood loss\nThese injuries can happen to the person using the pressure cooker as well as others in a vicinity when an explosion occurs.\nPressure Cooker Lawsuits are Being Filed By Victims Who Suffered Serious Injuries\nThere is, according to the NLR, quite a long list of lawsuits that injured victims have filed against the makers of pressure cookers. The writer states, “in many of these lawsuits, claimants have argued that some design or manufacturing defect led to the explosion and its subsequent injuries.”\nSome individuals claim the combination of built-up pressure and faulty safety features caused their injures. Others suggest that the manufacturers should be liable for selling defectively designed pressure cookers. Some lawsuits claim that the defective pressure cookers that caused their injuries were the result of negligence.\nThere have been lawsuits filed related to some of the following pressure cooker brands:\n- Crock Pot\n- Instant Pot\n- Wolfgang puck pressure cooker\n- QVC electric pressure cooker\n- Tristar power pressure cooker\nUnder various laws, manufacturers must ensure that their products are safe for their intended use. When a person uses the product as instructed, and injuries result, the victim often tries to prove that the manufacturer was negligent by making and selling a defective product. The injured victim might be able to collect compensation for their injuries.\nThese lawsuits are personal injury claims but can be more specifically referred to as product liability claims, defective product lawsuits, or design defect cases.\nAre You Eligible to File a Pressure Cooker Lawsuit?\nAsk yourself some questions:\n- Did my pressure cooker malfunction and cause injuries?\n- Was I burned by my insta-pot?\n- Did my crockpot explode?\n- Did I use my pressure cooker properly and get hurt?\n- Did the instructions warn me about the dangers of using the pressure cooker?\n- Have my injuries required medical treatments, caused me to lose income, and caused physical and/or emotional pain and suffering?\nAfter answering these questions, consider seeking legal counsel to find out if you are entitled to file a lawsuit against the maker and manufacturer of the pressure cooker that caused your injuries.\nCall Alonso Krangle, LLP. Our Pressure Cooker Injury Lawyers are Reviewing Claims\nIf you or someone you love suffered burn injuries or other serious injuries because of a pressure cooker, call our lawyers today to schedule a free consultation. We can help you collect the maximum damages the laws allow. Financial compensation can include lost wages, medical expenses, and more.\nIf you suffered severe burns because of one of the many popular pressure cookers on the market, call us at 800-403-6191.

With a foot or better of snowpack on the ground and daily temperatures struggling to reach double digits, Old Man Winter snuck up on me this morning and gave me a friendly kick in the rear end.\n“Hope you didn’t need water this morning, Johnny!” he said, as I turned the kitchen faucet on. Nothing. Not even a drip. We were, as my dad would like to say, froze up.\nMy wife asked, “Do you think the bulb blew out in the well house?” Sudden fear gripped me as I realized I hadn’t turned the light back on after an unseasonably warm 20 degree afternoon several days ago. We watch every bit of energy we use, Maine’s soaring electricity costs being a constant challenge in a rural area.\nThe well house is a smallish structure roughly four feet square across the driveway and about fifty feet from the cabin. It houses our above ground jet well pump and tank. While insulated when initially built, the field mice have had their run at it for years and the evidence of their nefarious activities litters the floor from time to time.\nIn addition to insulating the structure, we use a single incandescent bulb in the secondary enclosure during the dead of winter to keep the well pump and lines from freezing. This isn’t the most desired solution I know, but when you live out here you just do what works.\nAnd it does work, when you remember the light.\nAs I pulled my boots on, I ran through the possible scenarios. Where is the freeze up? Did the water line under the house freeze? If so, how can I get under there with 2 feet of frozen snow pack drifted up to the access door? Maybe it’s just the well pump frozen? If so, how am I going to thaw it out?\nLastly, the biggest and scariest question of them all; What if the pipe split from freezing? It’s one thing to get the freeze up thawed out. If that pipe or well head is damaged, I’m really going to be in trouble.\nI headed into the shop in search of the Mr Heater. This marvelous invention is a must have out here in the Maine woods. It is a simple propane burner and igniter head that attaches right to a 20lb propane grill tank. I use it to heat small spaces outside on the property when I’m working, to warm the engine block of my diesel tractor in the winter and as back up heat source in the shop.\nI grabbed the heater and headed to the well house figuring I’d hope for the best, that the well motor was frozen and all the lines were intact. I opened the secondary enclosure inside the house and peered in. No light on and the pressure gauge on the pump pegged to the red line.\nI lit the heater and set it on the low setting. If the metal on the pump housing heats too rapidly it could crack. Similarly, if the water in the lines heats too rapidly the result is hot steam. That also can cause damage to the lines. I positioned the heater in a corner and closed the door.\nBack inside the cabin, my wife and I opened some faucets and crossed our fingers. Opening the faucets would help the water expand as the freeze up melted. We still didn’t know if the freeze was all the way through the lines, so it seemed a good idea to be safe. We settled by the wood stove, thankful it was a Sunday and wondering when and if the water would return.\nAs I ran through my mental check list of supplies I might need and various repairs I might need to make, the tell tale whoosh of running water came from the bathroom faucet. Only twenty minutes had passed. We had water!\nWhile happy to have running water again, I was cautiously optimistic. I still had to check the lines and pump to see if there was any damage or leaks. Back to the well house I went.\nI checked the pump housing and lines inside the well house. No cracks or visible damage to the lines were present. I monitored the pressure gauge after the water pressure had built back up and the motor shut off. If there was a break or leak under the driveway or under the house, the pressure indicated on the gauge would slowly drop as the water leaked out. After 15 minutes I was satisfied we didn’t have any breaks. I turned off the heater and pulled the string for the well light.\nAs I walked through the front door, my wife was putting a fresh pot of coffee on for me. We looked at each other and grinned. We had gotten lucky this time.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The whole Fish Feed Production Process can be highly automatically controlled.\n●Production capacity 0.06 to 5 ton per hour is available.\nRelated Machines of Fish Feed Wet Extrusion\nFeed grinder→Feed mixer→wet type Fish feed extruder→Pellets dryer→Automatic weighing and packing machine\n- Material grinding—feed hammer mill\nRaw material ingredients should be grinded to the required size by feed grinder. We supply three types of feed grinders to meet your different requirements: ZW-A series feed Hammer Mill is suitable for small or medium sized feed extruding factories; ZW-C Series feed Hammer mill is used for grinding raw materials by large and medium livestock and aqua feed mills; ZW-B series hammer mill, also called Wide chamber Fine feed Hammer Mill, is mainly applied to fine grinding of meals for special aqua feed.\n- Material mixing—feed mixer\nMixing the material thoroughly can ensure extruding efficiency and improve the feed quality. We supply two kinds of feed mixers for you to choose: double-shaft efficient mixer can be applied to mixing powdery, granular, flaky and blocky materials while feed ribbon type mixer is mostly used for mixing powdery materials. These two kinds of mixers can be customized with atomizing spraying system which will add liquid like molasses and grease to material more evenly.\n- Extruding process—Wet type floating feed pellet extruder\nThe wet typefish feed machineis with the conditioner and need to equip the steam boiler. Capacity of wet type fish feed extruder is higher than dry type ones, so usually the wet type extruder machine is suitable for large feed pellet factory.\n- Pellets drying—feed pellet dryer\nOur mesh belt dryer is a continuous convective belt dryer. Pellets formed through the extruder are stacked in layers on a wire mesh or perforated plate belt conveyor and conveyed continuously through drying chambers. During this process, the drying air is passed repeatedly through the products layer until pellets have the optimum moisture content before leaving the dryer. While if you choose wet type fish feed machine, we recommend the gas type pellet dryer.\n- Pellet packing—electronic packing machine\nTo make the finished pellets easy to store, transport and catch the clients’ eyes, they should be packed properly. With our electronic weighing and packing machine, the finished pellets can be packed into bags, weighed, conveyed, and sealed automatically, which saves labor and time greatly and meet the requirements of large scale production. For this packing machine, automatic heat typing code, automatic bag sewing and automatic thread cutting can be optional functions.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Unfortunately, turbulences of the atmosphere limit the resolution even of the largest telescopes to 0.6″ – 1.0″. With Adaptive Optics one can reach the diffraction limit, i.e. better resolution (about 0.1″, depending on the wavelength and aperture size). Using astronomical interferometry these limits can be overcome. An astro-interferometer consists of two or more distant telescopes the gathered light of which can interfere with each other. This way a resolution can be achieved close to the limiting resolution of single telescopes with their apertures equal to the separation between the two telescopes of the interferometer.\nThe light from a star that will be combined in an interferometer must propagate through two different passages of equal length (Fig. 1). “Equal” means, the difference must be clearly smaller than the wavelength of the light. To achieve this, several high-precision controlling systems are used to compensate for earth's movement and atmospheric turbulences. Such controllers cannot yet compensate for all vibrations.\n|Fig. 1: Main principle of an astro-interferometer|\nOne of the biggest interferometers in the world is the “Very Large Telescope Interferometer” (VLTI) of the European Southern Observatory ESO in Chile.\nFast mechanical vibrations, originating in the VLTI infrastructure cause fast and large changes of the Optical Path Difference (OPD) [1, 2]. Their compensation is required in order to access the full sensitivity of the instrument. In the joined project MAMMUT (Mirror vibrAtion Metrology systeM for the Unit Telescope) of the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena (Astrophysical Institute and Institute of Applied Physics) and ESO, a system was developed aimed at evaluating the potential of telecom fiber technology for mirror vibration sensing.\nThe ultimate goal is to monitor the OPD changes between mirrors number 2 (M2) and 9 (M9, Coudé room) of the Unit Telescope (UT, Fig. 2). As a result of the initial study phase, we have built and tested a 250+250-meter-long actively stabilized fiber interferometer which can be used as a coherent beacon for mirror vibration metrology by means of active homodyne detecion .\n|Fig. 2: MAMMUT will measure vibrations occuring between M2 and Coudé focus (based on a figure from “The VLT White Book”, ESO 1998)|\nTo benchmark the performance of MAMMUT several minimal requirements have been selected at the beginning of the project:\nOperation wavelengths: 1353 nm & 1368 nm\nMeasured frequency range: 1 – 100 Hz\nMaximum acceptable power spectral density (PSD) of noise in the measurements: ≤ 1 nm²/Hz (in the range of 1 – 100 Hz)\nMaximum detectable stroke: ≥ ±5 µm, excluding DC component\nMAMMUT consists of two units: an actively stabilized fiber interferometer ('beacon') and a Fringe Sensor Unit (FSU). The system uses two laser diodes operating at close wavelengths in the near-IR J band (λ1, λ2).\n|Fig. 3: Conceptual scheme of the laboratory prototype of MAMMUT. Main subsystems: Source Unit (SU), Active Phase Control Unit (APCU), Free-Space Propagation Unit (FSPU), and Fringe Sensor Unit (FSU)|\nInternal metrology of the fiber interferometer:\nλ1 (green in Fig. 3) is reflected by Fiber Bragg Gratings and recombined at the Phase Measurement Unit (PHAMU) of the Active Phase Control Unit (APCU). The calculated OPD is used by a PID controller to drive the Fiber Stretcher.\nMirror vibration measurement:\nλ2 (red in Fig. 3) is injected into Free-Space Propagation Unit (FSPU) and coupled back into the input fiber of the FSU, where it is mixed with the reference channel provided by the second arm of the interferometer. By means of active homodyne technique the FSU calculates the phase distortions experienced at the FSPU from the feedback signal applied to the electro-optical modulator (EOM) .\nThe software for controlling MAMMUT was realized using LabVIEW™ and runs on a Real-time Desktop PC (LabVIEW™ is a trademark of National Instruments. This publication is independent of National Instruments, which is not affiliated with the publisher or the author, and does not authorize, sponsor, endorse or otherwise approve this publication).\nThe prototype of MAMMUT was delivered to the ESO and is now (2012) at the VLT on Cerro Paranal for evaluation and testing.\n Sahlmann, J., Abuter, R., Di Lieto, N., Ménardi, S., Delplancke, F., Bartko, H., Eisenhauer, F., Léveque, S., Pfuhl, O., Schuhler, N., van Belle, G., Vasisht, G. “Resluts from the VLTI-PRIMA fringe tracking testbed”, Proc.

Depending on what you are looking for in a water treatment product, they might not be. Without the proper information, you may end up with a water treatment system that doesn’t fit your needs.\nWater Conditioner vs Water Softeners – The Basics\nA water conditioner, sometimes incorrectly referred to as a “salt-free water softener”, does address some of the problems associated with hard water, but they do not produce soft water. A water conditioner works to temporarily change the chemistry of hardness particles, resulting in a reduction of scale build-up in plumbing, for a certain amount of time. A water conditioner will remove additional chemicals, such as chlorine, from your water, and wastes less water than a water softener.\nConversely, a water softener removes hardness particles from your water. The result is a reduction of scale build-up on fixtures and appliances, softer skin and hair, and reduced soap and detergent use.\nHow Does a Water Softener Work?\nA water softener uses an ion exchange process to remove hardness particles, such as calcium, magnesium, and limestone, from your water. As hard water passes through a bed of softening resin, hardness minerals are attracted to the resin and removed from the water. Over time, the resin becomes covered in these minerals and needs to be cleaned – this process is called regeneration. During regeneration, the water softener is flooded with water from the brine tank. The saltwater cleans the hardness minerals off the resin and flushes them down the drain, leaving the resin clean and ready to soften water again.\nHow Does a Water Conditioner Work?\nA water conditioner “conditions” water by changing the chemistry of hardness particles for a certain amount of time. There are several types of water conditioners, using a variety of technologies. Here are examples of the most types of water conditioners.\n- Electrically induced precipitation uses an electrical current to precipitate water hardness compounds. The hardness precipitate forms a soft sludge on an electrode that must be cleaned from time to time.\n- Electrochemical water treatment uses electricity to dissolve hardness minerals and other contaminants in water.\n- Template-assisted crystallization uses surface-treated resin beads to convert dissolved hardness ions into microscopic scale-resistant crystals. This type of system does not remove hardness.\n- Magnetic water treatment passes hard water through a magnetic field to form microscopic crystals that will not form scale on plumbing and fixtures. There is no consensus on the effectiveness of this type of treatment.\nSalt-free Water Softeners\nSometimes water conditioners are referred to as salt-free water softeners. This is an incorrect and misleading title. The truth is, there is no such thing as a salt-free water softener. Salt is an integral part of a water softener’s regeneration process and without it, a water softener would stop working effectively.\nRemember that water conditioners are installed to stop build-up in plumbing, not soften your water. Their effectiveness ranges greatly, depending on which technology they are built upon. It is important that consumers who are interested in water conditioners thoroughly consider what their water treatment concerns are, and investigate the product claims of the system they are considering.\nIf you are considering a water treatment system, of any kind, an important first step is to have your water tested. A test performed by a water treatment expert will determine the condition of your source water and help you to determine which system is right for you. Your local Water Depot Water Treatment Experts perform free in-house or in-store water testing for water hardness, iron levels, pH level, total dissolved solids, clarity, colour, and odour.\nDid you find the information in this article useful?

There is no need to worry; the systems usually experience problems with time. Like any other system you have in your home; the air conditioner is bound to breakdown at times. If you installed the system ten years ago, then it also means that it may require replacement in the next few years. During the installations, repair, or replacements, you may need to hire an air conditioning company to help. The company you hire to work in your system determines greatly whether it will work or not. As you search for the best air conditioning system, here are a few things you should look out for.\nExperience and licensing\nYour air conditioning system may be the most expensive device in your home. You should make sure that whoever works on it has the right training on how it is designed and how it works. All air conditioning companies should have proper licenses to be allowed to offer their services in your area. So, before you begin the consultations, make sure that you check they have a valid license. They should also have vast experience in the industry to ensure that they offer you 100 percent satisfaction with their services. A vastly experienced air conditioning company can provide you with high-quality work since they have gained a lot of knowledge during the years they have been in the industry. Besides, make sure that they have an insurance cover that protects you against liabilities and other issues that may occur as they work on your system.\nReferrals and references\nAnother way you can spot the best air conditioning and heating specialists in Cairns is through referrals and references. You need to ask about the quality of the services they provide and the level of efficiency. You should ask if the company did high-quality installations and showed respect to the property owners. This is the best way to understand the company’s reputation because you get information from people who have worked with them on their projects. Check whether there are complaints about them and also how they react to negative comments that may be given by their clients.\nCost of the services\nIt is also good to consider the price your potential air conditioning company charges for the services they provide. The company you hire should charge a price that matches the budget you have set aside for the work. It is necessary you take into consideration the quality of work provided, even as you consider pricing. If you focus solely on price, you may end up choosing a cheap company offering low-quality air conditioning services. Get full quotes during the consultation process so that you do not get bombarded by hidden costs, increasing the price at the end of the project.\nWorking with an air conditioning company located nearest your home is the best option. This ensures that in case an issue arises, you can call them and access your property fast. Working with a local air conditioning system also ensures that you can develop a better working relationship that enables them to charge you a discounted price for the airconditioning services provided. In case of an emergency, you can also get quick help when you work with a local company.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Further adding complexity, 3D-printing procedures don’t translate comparably with conventional manufacturing technology always, once the material output is virtually exactly the same even. This is typically because of the dissimilar build parameters, environment, and material delivery methodology. To learn the nuances, you must grasp the basics behind each technologies and know the full spectral range of available material options.\nThis article can help you determine the technologies and materials that are right for your application. Many 3D-printing processes are in use today, but for the purposes of this article, we will only touch on the most commonly used in design and manufacturing engineering today: photocuring, filament deposition, polymer laser sintering, and direct metal laser beam sintering.\nThis band of 3D-printing processes employs liquid photopolymer resins which are solidified and cured with ultraviolet (UV) light, to serve as models mostly, light-duty prototypes, and patterns for secondary casting. Photopolymers differ in colour, transparency, and mechanical and thermal attributes, which range from low-temperature soft and versatile elastomers to tough and rigid nanocomposites in a position to withstand elevated temperatures. For example, Somos NanoTool, a composite stereolithography (SL) material, has a heat deflection of up to 437°F at 66 psi.\nAn advantage of photocuring is the refined quality of the output. Photocuring processes produce parts with smooth surfaces and fine-feature detail-16-micron layer elevation with PolyJet-ideal for aesthetic plus cosmetic applications. However , UV durability and balance falls short for high-efficiency and end-use product applications. Continued contact with UV light causes photocured objects to become brittle and change in appearance. In addition, some materials can lose shape and dimensional accuracy from humidity absorption and sag or creep from prolonged stress.\nThe two nearly all used photocuring technologies are PolyJet and SL widely. PolyJet deposits tiny droplets of photopolymer and treatments the thin layers with UV lighting simultaneously. This process can print in a very high resolution with layer thicknesses as thin as 16 microns, which minimizes post-processing. Also called multi-jet printing, PolyJet is one of the only technologies with the ability to print multiple materials in one print with varying durometers.\nOn the other hand, SL builds 3D objects layer upon layer by using an UV laser to draw and solidify cross-sectional slices in a vat of liquid resin. It as well can produce smooth components requiring minimal finishing, but will not offer multi-material printing. Multi-jetting and SL have minimal shrink-associated deformation typically. Finally, both processes are perfect for producing casting patterns targeted at silicone urethane and tooling casting, and sacrificial patterns for expense casting.\nGuided by software- generated toolpaths, the filament-deposition processes develop 3D objects by drawing cross-sectional slices of parts one upon another via a heated extruder head. One chief advantage of filament deposition is the ability to produce strong and durable functional prototypes and end-use parts in a variety of high-performance materials popular in typical machining and molding manufacturing procedures.\nFused deposition modeling (FDM) may be the many mature and widely followed filament deposition process. FDM can maintain dimensional accuracy over length while having the opportunity to save material and weight. Some companies will post a general tolerance of ±0. 008 inches; however , it’s hard to give an exact number or even a range because of this accuracy because it depends upon the machine, material, geometry, and size of the part. In addition, FDM is less prone to warp and curl than laser sintering.\nThe most significant drawback of filament deposition is the pronounced layer ranges in the surface of its output. It necessitates even more effort than various other 3D-printing technologies to even the areas and create aesthetic qualities much like conventional manufacturing procedures, such as for example injection molding. Additionally , applications that demand airtight or watertight functionality may necessitate a denser build style, which increases build time and material consumption, and/or software of a sealant to alleviate surface porosity.\nPolymer Laser Sintering\nThese practical processes fuse or melt powdered polymers and composites with a low wattage CO2 laser that sinters cross-sections of 3D objects layer upon layer. Polymer laser-sintering (LS) materials mainly have bases of Nylon 12 and Nylon 11, with a number of filler options such as for example glass beads, mineral fibers, and carbon fiber, which supply substantial durability and strength for useful prototyping and end-use part creation.\nOther specialty materials that assist niche applications include thermoplastic elastomer, which can have rubber-like qualities for prototype hoses, grommets and seals. Also, low-density polystyrene infiltrated with wax can offer as a low-ash expense casting.\nAnother benefit of LS is that 3D objects are self-supporting within the construct chamber, enabling three-dimensional nesting. Efficient and affordable production of complex geometries with internal cavities and channels are feasible with LS without the need to remove supports.\nThe thermal nature of the process and absence of supports to anchor laser-sintered objects makes them more prone to warp during the build or cool- down cycle. In addition, an inverse relationship often exists between your mechanical strength and dimensional precision of the output. Laser energy and build chamber temperature boost to optimize particle adhesion, and create a stronger part. However , increased temperatures and power could cause expansion; the walls and top features of a right part may become oversized, warp, and curl. Generally, dimensional problems arise with higher laser-power and powder-bed temps. That’s because more of the surrounding powder sticks to the sintered/melted part, which causes the surfaces to grow and walls to thicken.\nThis commonly results in fitment problems with mating parts. Yet, encountered LS operators might be able to adjust laser offsets, adjust build orientation, and change the design to work much better with the process.\nDirect Metal Laser Sintering\nUsing an yttrium-aluminum-garnet-fiber laser, generally referred to as a YAG-fiber laser, metal laser-sintering systems essentially micro-weld powdered metals and alloys layer upon coating to produce fully dense 3D objects with qualities similar to castings. Through post processes, such as heat-treating and scorching isostatic pushing (HIP), it’s possible to boost metallurgical properties for high-performance programs.\nThere are several benefits to direct-metal-laser-sintering (DMLS) forms of processes more than conventional manufacturing methodologies, like their ability to produce complicated contoured geometries without too much tooling or programming costs. The additive nature of 3D printing saves weight and materials , and offers greener manufacturing in comparison to casting and deductive processes.\nIn addition , 3D printing can consolidate assemblies, reducing the real number of components that may reduce work cost and fasteners, and simplify a product. Benefiting from these features with the DMLS process is ideal for low-volume manufacturing of end-use parts and products, and high-performance functional prototypes.\nOn the downside, the learning curve to build quality DMLS products and parts is substantial. An educated technician or designer should comprehend how to work with a CAD design to verify a print is economically practical before it would go to print. An experienced operator will have to develop effective build ways of mitigate warping and minimize assistance structures. Furthermore, for optimal dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finishing, and tiny features, DMLS users often have to utilize more sophisticated post-processing and finishing systems, such as CNC machining, wire EDM, chemical etching, liquid honing, tumbling, media blasting or coating.\nA trained staff can display screen and qualify the very best materials and processes for every customer’s specific programs and needs. There isn’t an individual technology well-suited for every program, and there isn’t usually a clear-cut answer for a customer’s specific needs. Often multiple options could work, each with a different set of pros and cons. The following seven considerations will help you qualify and disqualify procedures and materials for every of your unique projects:\n1 . Program: What is the goal of the object?\nThe intent for 3D-printed objects could range between aesthetic show models and mock-ups, to functional prototypes, R&D test pieces, or end-use production parts and products. The requirements of each of these applications can vary greatly, and therefore are better suited to some processes. It boils down to cosmetic often, dimensional, or performance requirements.\n2 . Efficiency: What does the part should do?\nA 3D-printed part may should just hold form as a static design or bear a detailed resemblance to a conventionally manufactured product with fine detail and smooth surfaces. In this case, PolyJet or stereolithography may be the ideal process. Hard-working parts that must bear a load or resist impact could be better suitable for the FDM procedure. If the application involves simple fit or long lasting living hinge, LS may be the better option.\n3. Stability: In what atmosphere does the part have to function?\nThe necessity to maintain properties and function in higher temperatures rules out some 3D-printing processes and materials. In addition , outdoor applications need an UV-stable material such as for example acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) or durable laser-sintered nylon with an UV-inhibitive coating. Photopolymers won’t work very well for outdoor environments because they react to UV light. Moisture is another common factor that adversely affects many materials. If biocompatibility is essential for a surgical device, metals then, such as for example titanium Ti-64 for electron or DMLS beam melting may be the best, if not the only real, option.\n4. Durability: Just how long does the part have to last?\nThe number and duration useful cycles can eliminate some processes and materials. For example , a 3D- printed mold or form tool may need to go through hundreds of cycles and withstand prolonged stress and friction, whereas a fit-check prototype may only need to function once. Photopolymer materials are often effective for short-term, low-stress applications and are struggling to withstand prolonged stress typically. Built thermoplastics from the FDM and LS procedures can serve many useful prototyping and end-use reasons for increased cycle life.\n5. Aesthetics: How does it have to look and feel?\nIt is possible to generally expect photocured 3D items to be fairly smooth and also have high resolution right off of the machine, and can easily be hand-finished to a cosmetic state. While thermoplastic and powdered plastic processes such as FDM and LS produce stronger and more durable parts, cosmetically they shall require even more labor and skill to attain a smooth surface, resulting in higher costs and increased prospect time. With the tough alloys and metals of DMLS, it takes much more time, effort, and expertise to produce a polished look.\n6. Economics: What is your budget, timeline, and quality expectation?\nIn case you have a firmly capped budget, the decision may be on price rather than other factors. Time and quality come in conflict collectively often; rapid turnaround and high-level aesthetic finishing could be exclusive mutually. However , shortcuts, workarounds, and efficient systems can reduce lead expenses and times while maintaining top quality standards. Efficiencies could be gained from working with something bureau that may creatively batch, nest, strategically section, shell, adjust fill, and modify build orientation to reduce machine time and material usage.\n7. Priorities: Of all these aspects, which is the most important?\nUltimately, you must consider all factors and decide on those that are most important to attain the primary objectives and project targets. There are many competing requirements often, however your main priorities should drive your choice and filter the 3D-publishing material and technology options. If you have a brief timeline, economics may be the determining factor. If longevity is the priority, strength may be the determining factor.\nSelecting the perfect material and technology for the project is vital to maximizing success. The primary indicate remember is that the “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t apply to 3D printing. It is essential that you either invest time to learn the pros, cons, and nuances of the major processes, materials, and post processes, or find a target partner or expert who gets the know-how and experience to provide you with sound guidance.\nYou like this Post, read about 2d mechanical drawing software", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The high-tech look comes from the sand-blasted finish and the magnifying windows, which indicate the brand’s long diving tradition.\nThe Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Patrol Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch nests a 7750 Valjoux self-winding chronograph movement inside, which is also the most preferred mechanical chronograph movement today. It uses a three-plane (mainplate, calendar plate, and chronograph top plate) cam system which replaces the column wheel. The stopwatch (chronograph) uses a coulisse-lever escapement and is activated and deactivated with levers that push a cam (a rotating disk shaped to convert circular motion into linear) back and forth, putting into use the 12-hour and 30-minute chronograph functions. The hours, minutes and the centre 60-seconds hand operate separately.\nThe Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch is also one of the few to feature a domed sapphire crystal and the cross-shaped structure on the case back acts as a reinforcement, which increases the durability of the watch. Even the window borders are made from solid titanium, which is definitely a notch above from other so called titanium watches that just stop at the case.\nSo, is the Hamilton Thin-O-Matic H77746333 Mens Watch meant for you? Definitely, if adventure – be it of any kind, even water-related (for you can take it down to under 500 feet) – is a part of your life! If not, then you’ll be wearing just a piece of history.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Understanding how these portable units function and being aware of common issues can help users maximize their efficiency and longevity. In this article, we’ll delve into the inner workings of portable air conditioners, highlight some key maintenance tips, and explore the benefits of air conditioning hire services compared to purchasing your own unit.\nHow Portable Air Conditioners Work\nContrary to popular belief, air conditioners don’t generate cold air; instead, they work by removing heat from the air in a room, thereby cooling it down. This process involves several key components working together seamlessly.\nOne of the central components of a portable air conditioner is the compressor. This part acts as the “muscle” of the unit, responsible for pumping refrigerant throughout the system. Refrigerant, often referred to as freon, is a substance that can readily absorb heat. As the compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, it becomes very hot, hotter than the surrounding air in the room.\nThe heated refrigerant then flows through coils, known as the condenser coils, where it releases heat into the surrounding environment with the help of a fan. This process causes the refrigerant to condense into a liquid form. Next, the liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, which depressurizes it and cools it down significantly. This cooled refrigerant then flows through another set of coils, the evaporator coils, where it absorbs heat from the air in the room. The now-heated refrigerant is then cycled back to the compressor to repeat the process.\nA fan or blower plays a crucial role in the air conditioning process by circulating air over the coils. Depending on the direction of airflow, the unit either blows out cool air into the room or expels hot air outside through an exhaust tube.\nCommon Issues and Maintenance Tips\nWhile portable air conditioners offer convenience, they are not immune to issues that can affect their performance. Here are some common problems users may encounter and maintenance tips to address them:\n- Dirty Coils and Filters: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on the condenser and evaporator coils, reducing the unit’s efficiency. Similarly, air filters can become clogged, hindering airflow.\n- Exhaust Tube Blockages: The exhaust tube is essential for expelling hot air outside. Blockages or kinks in the tube can restrict airflow, causing the unit to overheat.\n- Compressor Issues: If the compressor fails to start or is not functioning correctly, the air conditioner may not cool effectively. Checking for any burnt-out relays or connections on the circuit board can help identify compressor issues. However, handling electrical components requires caution, and it may be best to seek professional assistance for repairs.\n- Fan Motor Problems: A malfunctioning fan motor can prevent air from circulating properly, leading to uneven cooling or inadequate cooling. If the fan is not spinning, it could indicate a motor issue that requires attention from a technician.\n- Accumulated Condensation: Portable air conditioners produce condensation as they remove moisture from the air. Excess condensation can collect in the unit’s accumulator, potentially causing damage if not drained periodically.\nBenefits of Air Conditioning Hire Service\nWhile purchasing a portable air conditioner may seem like a straightforward solution, opting for an air conditioning hire service can offer several advantages:\nCost-Effective: Hiring a portable air conditioner eliminates the need for a significant upfront investment. Instead of purchasing a unit outright, users can pay a rental fee, which may be more budget-friendly, especially for short-term cooling needs or occasional use.\nFlexibility: Air conditioning hire services offer flexibility in terms of unit selection and duration of use. Users can choose the most suitable portable air conditioner for their specific requirements, whether it’s for cooling a single room or an entire space.\nMaintenance and Support: When renting a portable air conditioner, maintenance and support are often included as part of the service. This means that any issues or malfunctions can be promptly addressed by the rental provider, relieving users of the responsibility of troubleshooting and repairs.\nProfessional Installation: Air conditioning hire services typically offer professional installation by trained technicians. This ensures that the portable air conditioner is set up correctly and operates efficiently, maximizing cooling performance and energy efficiency.\nIn conclusion, portable air conditioners offer a convenient cooling solution for various applications, from residential spaces to commercial environments. By understanding how these units work and being aware of common issues, users can ensure optimal performance and longevity. Additionally, exploring the benefits of air conditioning hire services can provide cost-effective and flexible cooling solutions without the commitment of purchasing a unit outright. Whether for short-term cooling needs or long-term comfort solutions, portable air conditioners and air conditioning hire services offer versatility and convenience for users seeking reliable cooling comfort.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The choice of the material used impacts on the accuracy with recommendation being given to medium consistency polyether and high consistency addition silicones. (1)\nThe impression record should be accurate, dimensionally stable, resist rotational force and reproducible (1).\nIt has been demonstrated in a multiple implant impression situation, that the transfer copings when splinted with an acrylic resin were more accurate than when acrylic was not used and this reinforced when non smooth, angular impression transfer copings were used. (2,5).\nTransfer of implant position may be achieved by taking an impression of the head of the implant using;\n1. Screw retained impression coping technique, either open tray or closed tray. The open tray impression technique requires the insertion of an impression post into the head of the implant. This post is then secured with a pin. The impression is taken with the securing pin passing through a prepared hole in the impression tray and when set; the securing pin is removed allowing the impression to be withdrawn, the impression post being securely retained in the set impression. The technician inserts a matched implant analogue onto the impression coping and the model is cast.\nAdvantage: Simple technique. Dentist does not need to hold a stock of abutments. Ideal in poor access situations or patients with strong gag reflex. The prosthetic (crown) should accurately fit the abutment as it has been made on the abutment present.\nDisadvantage: Increased laboratory cost, laboratory decide on position of margins. Implant replicas are not identical to the implant and so micro positional error can occur which may be significant when planning splinted cases as the abutment position and orientation may differ slightly when comparing the model to the intra oral position. Splinted cases may require sectioning and re-soldering in the metalwork stage to ensure the “Sheffield test” criteria are met.\nA closed tray impression post involves the placement of an impression post as a single unit being inserted into the head of the implant and an impression taken with a special tray. The impression is removed and the closed tray impression post removed from the implant, fitted with a matched implant replica and re-positioned into the impression before casting.\nAdvantages are as with the open tray technique. Easier to use further back in the mouth where it may not be possible to remove the securing screw from an open tray impression post.\nDisadvantage. Implant replicas are not as accurate as the placed implant. Also difficulty may noted in re-fixing the impression post into the impression and this can result in the restoration produced being high in the occlusion and create significant discrepancies with regard to rotational inaccuracies(3) The possibility of non identical replication of position is a concern, particularly in multiple unit placement.\nSome operators have developed a technique of using the implant carrier as an effective closed tray impression technique.\nIn a bounded saddle situation it is possible to transfer the information required by using pattern resin to locate the position of the implant to adjacent teeth.\nThe technique involves, prior to placement, taking an accurate planning cast. At placement, pattern resin is used to connect the carrier to adjacent teeth. No impression at operation is taken. The carrier is then removed and fitted with an implant analogue and the pre-operative model modified to allow placement of the analogue in the correct position once the pattern resin matrix is fitted over the adjacent teeth.\nAdvantage: Cross infection control issues are minimized, quick, simple, and inexpensive. Disadvantage; manipulation of soft tissues is compromised as it is difficult to assess the soft tissue contour; implant replica may not be accurate.\n“Clip in” or “snap over” closed tray impression caps are available from some implant manufacturers. These manufacturers have produced plastic caps that “push fit” onto the head of the implant and or implant abutment. A standard silicone impression is taken and an implant abutment replica fitted into the impression cap along with implant replica prior to casting.\nAdvantage; quick and easy.\nDisadvantage; inaccuracy of fit due to multiple transfer errors. (impression, plastic cap, inaccuracy of replica). In addition machined tolerances between implant components range from 20-1001.tm, and that second generation components have a lower tolerance than first generation components. (4)\nThe above techniques may be applied at first stage surgery. i.e. at time of implant placement, or after an appropriate healing period. If these techniques are applied at first stage surgery consideration must be given to the issues surrounding infection control.\nInformation may also be transferred to the laboratory once an abutment has been placed and this may be achieved by;\nSecuring the abutment in place so that it may be regarded as in the final position and conventional preparation of the abutment may be made followed by conventional crown and bridge impression technique. This technique reduces the errors associated with component and replica tolerances but can limit operator in management of the soft tissues.\nSecuring an abutment into position and taking an impression. Once the impression has set the abutments may be removed and implant analogues fixed to the abutments before the abutments are re-inserted into the impression and cast. Errors can occur when using a replica analogue (4) and repositioning the abutment into the impression i.e. acting as a closed tray impression component. In addition, precise placement of the implant abutment into the exact position it was in at the time the impression was taken is unpredictable even when using an indexed system.\nComparison of impression materials for direct multi-implant impressions.

The construction work will inevitably generate noise (demolition, excavation, foundation work), vibrations and a considerable amount of dust, which will affect the clientele. Not to mention the high amount of traffic from the trucks and heavy equipment in this particular area.\nAdded to this are other works, including the installation of a retaining wall to ensure the stability of the Complex's infrastructures due to the construction of a new mechanic ventilation well and the replacing of Île Sainte‑Hélène main aqueduct system, which explains our difficulty in being able to maintain the water quality of the pools.\nThe water quality of the pools will be affected and the dust might damage the filtration system, which could lead to sporadic or prolonged closures of the pools. And, the overall safety of pool users might be jeopardized (ex: noise, murky water, making it difficult for lifeguards to do their job).\nThe dust generated by the work during the week puts the water filtration system of the pools at risk, to the extent that we are simply unable to refill the pools for the 2017 season.\nMoreover, it's possible the contractor will be working on the site on weekends. We can't take the risk of planning for the opening of the pools if there is work being conducted.\nThe Aquatic Complex will be open for the 2018 season.\nWe didn't have all the required information at the time to make a definite decision. Our intention at the time was to keep the Aquatic Complex open, but the details about the type of work that needed to be done and the related risks convinced us otherwise.\nSynchronized swimming, swimming, water-polo, diving and triathlon.\nIn the fall of 2016, we notified the Federations and Sports Clubs that, due to the PAMV work, it would not be possible to hold events at the Aquatic Complex.\nWe worked with the City of Montréal's sports department to try to come up with alternative solutions to relocate them, and help them stage their respective events. As of now, all of the affected sports federations have been relocated.\nThe federations will train at Parc Olympique and the Sports Clubs were relocated to various Montréal boroughs thanks to a collaboration with the City of Montréal's sports department, which allowed us to find other venues for the Sports Clubs' training sessions.\nSince the decision that was made was based on facts relating to the safety of the users and Parc Jean-Drapeau's operations, consulting with the sports federations to reach a decision was not possible.\nThe temporary closure is inevitable considering the work which has to be done for the PAMV, a project announced in 2015 and one which has a very positive impact for the Parc.\nThe Aquatic Complex's clients can continue to come and swim at Parc Jean-Drapeau this summer, at the Jean-Doré Beach. Situated on Île Notre-Dame, Jean-Doré Beach provides open-water swimming for training sessions, and has a huge area for recreational swimming.\nThe admission price for both facilities is the same, so the Beach will be just as accessible for Montrealers to come for a refreshing dip. We are also working with other aquatic facility operators to redirect the clientele.\nWe are currently evaluating all of the issues relating to the PAMV work and the shifting of some events. If there are other changes in our program, we will assuredly announce them at the appropriate time.\nBefore visiting, please consult the regulations for the Aquatic Complex.\n- Anyone not complying with the regulations is subject to a warning.

Her solution: EcoHelmet, a folding, recyclable helmet for bike share users.\nEcoHelmet uses a unique honeycomb configuration to protect the head from impact, and folds flat when not in use. A biodegradable coating makes it resistant to rain for up to three hours. The lightweight, durable design of EcoHelmet empowers cyclists to ride safely and confidently.\nThe cell structure of EcoHelmet distributes any impact evenly around the head as effectively as a traditional polystyrene helmet. Due to the radial nature of the cells, it will protect the user from a blow coming from any direction. The simplicity of EcoHelmet’s construction, coupled with its inexpensive materials, will keep the manufacturing costs low – meaning they can be sold for $5 at bike share stations.\n“I was lucky enough to be studying at Royal College of Art and the Imperial College of London for a semester, and was granted access to Imperial’s crash lab,” says Isis. “They had a European standard helmet crash setup that allowed me to gather enough data on Ecohelmet’s proprietary honeycomb configuration to know it was viable and worth developing.”\nAs international winner of the James Dyson Award 2016, Isis will be awarded $45,000 to further develop her invention.\n“EcoHelmet solves an obvious problem in an incredibly elegant way. But its simplicity belies an impressive amount of research and development,” says James Dyson. “I look forward to seeing EcoHelmets used in bike shares across the world.”\nThere are also two international runners up in the James Dyson Award 2016: Smart Contact Len Platform and Respia.\nSmart Contact Lens Platform is uses state-of-the-art engineering and nanotechnology to create a contact lens with a sensor that can continuously monitor its user’s glucose levels.

However, there are methods you can use to gain access to your garage from the outside, without relying on electricity. In this section, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to open garage doors without power using external access points.\nBefore attempting any manual operation, it is important to prioritize your safety. Ensure that there are no obstructions or hazards that may interfere with the opening process. Additionally, be cautious of the door’s weight and take necessary precautions to prevent injury.\nStep 1: Locate the Emergency Release Cord\nMost garage doors have an emergency release cord, which is typically red and hangs near the top of the door track.

The project, slated to launch next year, aims to provide a faster and more convenient delivery experience for consumers, reducing the reliance on traditional human delivery services.\nDuring the recent Gitex Global 2023 event, attendees were offered a tantalizing glimpse of this futuristic delivery method, wherein orders for meals and drinks were placed and received in under four minutes thanks to the drone delivery system. This groundbreaking project was jointly demonstrated by Dubai-based FEDS Drone-powered Solutions (FEDS) and the Chinese company Meituan UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems).\nThe Benefits of Drone Delivery\nAccording to Rabih Bou Rached, the founder and CEO of FEDS, drone delivery is poised to outpace traditional human delivery methods in terms of speed and efficiency. Drones offer a unique advantage because they can bypass ground traffic, allowing orders to be fulfilled in record time. Furthermore, this autonomous system is not subject to congestion and delays typically associated with human delivery personnel. As such, the order fulfillment process is significantly expedited, promising a superior level of service.\nPilot Project and Future Prospects\nWhile full-scale, citywide drone delivery operations are expected to materialize within the next two years, the initial phase involves establishing a pilot test area within a residential community characterized by low-rise buildings. This pilot project is scheduled to become operational by next year, allowing residents to experience the convenience of drone deliveries firsthand. Initially, between 10 and 20 drones will be deployed during the trial period. However, the potential for hundreds of drones to be utilized in a citywide operation is on the horizon.\nThe autonomous drones are equipped with impressive specifications that make them suitable for various delivery tasks. These drones are outfitted with six rotors and have a compact size, measuring 1370 X 1370 X 450 mm. They boast a payload capacity of up to 2.5 kilograms, making them capable of delivering family-size meals and other goods. To ensure uninterrupted communication, the drones rely on a combination of 5G, 4G, and Wi-Fi, allowing them to operate within a 10-kilometer radius. With a climbing velocity of up to 10 meters per second and a descent speed of 6 meters per second, these drones are designed for swift and efficient delivery. They can detect obstacles up to 50 meters ahead and 15 meters above, making them exceptionally safe to operate.\nThe drones are engineered to handle a variety of environmental conditions. They can operate in moderate rain and function efficiently within a temperature range spanning from -20 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. This adaptability ensures that drone deliveries remain consistent even in adverse weather conditions.\nBeyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Certification\nOne crucial step in expanding drone delivery capabilities is obtaining certification for “Beyond Visual Line of Sight” (BVLOS) operations. BVLOS certification allows drones to operate at distances beyond the direct visual range of the human pilot. Meituan UAS has been a pioneer in developing and deploying drone delivery solutions, focusing on providing services within a 15-minute radius for users located within three kilometers. With a track record of over 184,000 successful deliveries of meals, drinks, and other daily necessities in China since 2021, the company has emerged as a leading provider of drone delivery services.\nDubai Municipality (DM) has made significant strides in preparing the city for widespread drone deliveries. During the Gitex Global event, DM officials announced their efforts to map the airspace in the city. This mapping will help identify optimal routes and landing locations for drones, ensuring the efficient and safe integration of drone delivery services. The completion of this exercise in Dubai Silicon Oasis serves as a testament to Dubai’s commitment to adopting innovative technologies, with plans to extend similar preparations to the entire city.\nDubai’s embrace of autonomous drone delivery services is poised to revolutionize the last-mile delivery experience for consumers. The strategic partnership between FEDS and Meituan UAS demonstrates the commitment of both local and international stakeholders to enhancing convenience, efficiency, and speed in the delivery of goods and services. With cutting-edge drone technology and regulatory preparations in place, Dubai is set to redefine the future of last-mile delivery, making it a faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly experience for residents and visitors alike.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The period of 3 years is modeled as the period of application based on the average technical lifespan for commercial applications. The economical lifespan of commercial applications can be longer or shorter due to aesthetic replacements or more intense use.

MPTS/FUNC UNIT\n- End of life0.02\n- Total impacts = 18.74 mPts\n- per 3 years of service\nWhat’s causing the greatest impacts\nAll life cycle stages\nThe production stage is dominating the results for most impact categories. The production stage has the most significant contributions to eutrophication (mostly from emissions from copper mining and the printed wiring board), non-carcinogens (emissions from the production of copper and zinc) and ecotoxicity (mostly from disposal of steel slags and bottom ashes from coal fired power plants, and barium emissions to water from the extraction process of natural gas). The use phase is relevant to most impact categories, especially fossil fuel depletion, ozone depletion, carcinogenics, and global warming. The use stage impact is mostly due to the embedded energy arising from acquisition, treatment and distribution of the water used during the use of the product.\nThe recovery stage includes recycling processes and benefits by preventing the need to produce primary materials. Recycling is a relevant factor for some of the impact categories, offsetting a portion of the impacts caused by production. Additionally, the delivery of the product to the construction/installation site, the construction/installation processes, the processes for dismantling the product and final waste treatment during the end of life stage do not have a significant impact.\nBrass parts and the printed wiring board, along with the brass turning process have significant contributions to the impact categories. Stainless steel materials and the turning steel process are relevant to the carcinogenics category. The electroplating process along with injection molding are major contributors to the ozone depletion catgory. Additionally, polishing has a somewhat significant processing contribution to the results. Transport via oceanic freighter appears as a relevant contributor to the fossil fuel depletion and smog categories.\nDeviations in the LCA results are a result of the difference in the assembly parts of the two faucets as well as the use phase. TEL105-D10ET and TEL105-C20ET contain more mass than TEL105-D10EM and TEL105-C20EM. The continuous cycle uses more water per cycle than the on-demand version of the two faucets.\nMulti-product weighted average\nResults represent the weighted average using production volumes for the products covered.

Through a variety of engineering design projects, students must utilize functions to optimize the outcome of each challenge. Students will see parallels between the mathematical modeling cycle (top image at right) and the engineering design process (bottom image at right) in each unit. Students will design parachutes, bungee jumps, boats, balloon rockets, a variety of water fountains, and, as a capstone project, a thermally resistant beverage container along with product proposal and pitch. Students will document calculations, graphical relationships, sketches of prototypes and final designs in an engineering notebook that includes summaries of each project and ideas for future redesigns. By building understanding of functions, graphs, equations, and algebraic relationships, students will see how mathematical understanding can verify optimal performance and design in a variety of applications.\nUnit 1 : Introduction to the Engineering Design Cycle\nUnit 1 Description\nStudents are introduced to the Engineering Design cycle by learning its five phases and then experiencing it firsthand through 3 different situations: designing a parachute, creating and calibrating a spring scale, and calculating the appropriate distance for a bungee jump. Through this unit, students must 1) Define a problem, 2) Plan and build a prototype, 3) Test the prototype, 4) Measure results, and 5) Analyze data to propose improvements. Students will carefully design ways to gather and record data in all three assignments in this unit, and will analyze the data to learn key mathematical relationships involving surface area, Hooke’s Law, linear equations (slope/intercept form), graphical analysis, and experimental research.\nUnit 1 Key Assignments\n1: Students are given a set of materials and asked to make a parachute apparatus that will keep a paper clip payload aloft for the longest possible time, while also attempting to land within a specified target area. Given only plastic sandwich bags, string, tape, and an index card, students design and assemble their parachute apparatus to accomplish two objectives. The first performance metric is the measured length of time the apparatus remains in the air when dropped from a specified height, while the second metric is the measured landing distance from the plumb line point located on the landing surface. Students follow the engineering design process by first drawing up initial plans of their prototypes in their engineering notebooks, which are then reviewed and approved before getting the materials.\nOnce assembled, students drop the apparatus and record the hang time, as well as the distance between the landing point and the target point. Students then measure the surface area and make a scatter plot of surface area versus hang time, and surface area versus target accuracy (distance from target point). Using the data, students investigate the relationship between the input variables (surface area) and the output variables (hang time and horizontal distance traveled from target landing point). Students identify the key physical factors affecting output, while recognizing the potential for an optimal performance. They use their quantitative analysis and observational data to justify any redesign to their projects. They will redesign and test to see if mathematical analysis improved their projects.\n2: To develop understanding of elastic materials and linear equations, student teams will compete to design, build, and test the most accurate “mass weighing device” that could be used to determine the weight of household objects. Through the research and testing process, students will discover the linear nature of springs through Hooke’s Law. Students will begin by analyzing the relationship between an input force (weight) and the resulting extension of a given elastic material. By graphing their data and using a best fit analysis, students will establish a linear relationship between the independent variable (force/weight) and the dependent variable (stretch length) and interpret the significance of the line’s slope. Teams then construct the device and test it for accuracy by weighing a variety of objects and performing error analysis compared to an electronic scale. Students will understand the nature of linear functions, their slope through testing various inputs, and observing how the output changes. Teams will finally be given a set of three unknown masses to weigh, and students will share their results as a class. Students will analyze the class data to determine the standard deviation, and percent error against the accepted weight values.\n3: [Note: This could be an extension/optional assignment based upon students’ developing facility with math and engineering.]\nActing as engineering consultants, students are hired by an outdoor adventure company to design a safe and economical bungee jump that meets the company’s specifications. Armed with their newfound knowledge of both functions and the behavior of elastic springs, students then begin dynamic testing of various bungee jumps of various weight ranges specified by the adventure company, but for a specific “jump length” to maximize exhilaration. By plotting the data as a class, students will find the acceptable domains of the independent variable (weight ranges of potential customers) when other variables are fixed (height, elasticity of bungee cord). Students will identify the linear relationship between falling distance, and the length of the cord as well as the significance of the slope’s dependence on the falling weight. After analyzing the data, students share their design details with the company in a written report that specifies the optimal cord length range as a function of the customer’s weight.\nUnit 2 : Archimedes’ Challenge\nUnit 2 Description\nStudents design and construct rectangular paper boats that must keep various objects afloat. Students first identify the input parameters of the design specifications and then calculate dimensions for the initial designs of their vessel. Once the students have created design sketches in their engineering notebooks, they will then be given the materials to create prototypes for testing. For each iteration, students measure and record data on surface area and volume, which is then shared in a data repository so that the class can track performance data. The metric used for this design challenge will be to create the boat with the least surface area that can successfully keep the object above water. Once the prototype boats have been created, students will test their boats. After the initial test, students will then return to the design phase to revisit their initial ideas and make modifications. Performance information will be shared and the class will analyze mathematical relationships like surface area to volume, length and width ratios, and any other relevant data patterns. Using insight from these relationships, students will be able to incorporate the analysis into the redesign process for subsequent boats.\nUnit 2 Key Assignments\n1: Students are given cardboard materials and asked to design and construct a rectangular boat that must float when carrying a unique payload: their phone. Students first cut out squares of varying sizes from the four corners of the material, and must decide how high to make the boat’s walls. Students determine the buoyant forces for various boat designs by altering the volume of the boat (a rectangular solid). To maximize volume (which determines buoyancy), students must set up and solve a quadratic equation whose solutions reveal what size squares to cut out from each corner of the cardboard rectangle before folding the sides up to construct the boat. Students will record all equations and design calculations in their engineering notebooks, along with scale drawings of each prototype design. Students will cite mathematical evidence in a summary statement that cites the technical reasons for their final design.\n2: Students now must design and construct a new boat that must float two phones. Doubling the payload forces students to again optimize their materials by using equations from Assignment #1 to find new solutions for a boat requiring twice the buoyant forces. Students will be asked to consider how they could use the optimization function to find the dimensions of any new boat that must hold a specific weight. Students will hypothesize how the function parameters must change in order to scale for a different input weight, then must solve a second quadratic equation to see how the dimensions must change to double the buoyancy of this new boat. Students record all calculations and new design drawings in their engineering notebooks.\n3: Students must utilize their algebraic function to make one more design, this time the boat is made from cardboard and must hold…a student! Students must consider how scaling a boat affects each dimension, each property of the boat, (surface area, volume), and must determine if their design can hold a student’s weight. Using the math skills learned from the first two assignments, students will design this third boat for the lightest weighing student in their group, then must float the boat for the longest amount of time in a culminating competition against the entire class. Upon completion of the competition, all students write a paragraph in their engineering notebook that summarizes the key mathematical concepts learned in the unit, including: the importance of mathematical modeling, how to optimize a design by solving quadratic equations, and how increasing the scale of a prototype affects the design parameters for an increased payload.\nUnit 3 : Quadratics in The Garden - Designing A Fountain\nUnit 3 Description\nStudents will design a water fountain by writing multiple quadratic equations and graphing them to represent decorative parabolic streams of water. Students will write and graph quadratic equations in both Vertex and Standard Form. The various streams of water will originate from different heights and have different trajectories, requiring students to work in both the first and second quadrants of the cartesian coordinate system. Students must calculate the x and y coordinates of each apex, and each starting and ending point of the stream of water, along with its axis of symmetry, to ensure a decorative and aesthetically pleasing fountain. Once the design is completed, the students must calculate which types of pumps they will need to purchase for each stream of water by analyzing the required pressure and orifice size to ensure the required velocity to ensure the streams follow their designed trajectory.\nUnit 3 Key Assignments\n1: Graphing through x-intercepts:\nStudents graph quadratics by graphing the x-intercepts first after factoring a simple quadratic equation that fits their first stream of water for the fountain. Students must identify and draw the axis of symmetry by finding the midpoint of the x-intercepts and then locate the vertex of the parabola that will be the stream of water’s trajectory. This method allows students to make connections between the x-intercepts and the parabola. Students draw a sketch of the parabola along with all calculations into their Engineering Notebooks to clarify that the x-intercepts determine the beginning and ending points of each stream of water. Students will also label the x and y coordinates of the vertex, and explain in a short summary how they located each key point of the parabola and describe its significance. Finally, students will plot their equations using an electronic graphing tool (Desmos, Plotly, graphing calculator), verify whether or not their handwritten graphs are accurate, and cite any domain and range restrictions for their designed fountains.\n2: Graphing through vertex form:\nStudents will now write equations for two more streams of water in the fountain, but they will find the key points from different information and through a different method of mathematical analysis. Students will be given the apex of two opposing (but symmetrical) streams of water, and must use the vertex form of quadratic equations to find the x-intercepts. Once the quadratic equation that describes the parabolic trajectory is written, students will then convert it from Vertex Form to Standard Form. This will allow students make connections between the vertex and the parabola. Students will accurately draw each parabola, write the equation in both forms, and describe in their engineering notebooks how to use both Vertex Form and how to convert it to Standard Form for parabolas. Students will also write a short summary of how to precisely determine the apex and x-intercepts, and what the significance of each point is for each stream of water.\n3: Exploring the leading coefficient:\nStudents will use online graphing software to explore and understand the impact of various leading coefficients by graphing different quadratic equations in different forms. At first, students will be given x-intercepts, and must write the equation in standard form, then adjust the height of the parabola by adjusting the leading coefficient (scalar multiple). Second, when given the vertex, students will change the leading coefficient to observe the effect on the x-intercepts. Students again will write a summary that explains how the leading coefficient affects the shape of each stream of water. Using this new understanding, students are asked to add two more streams of water that would add to the aesthetic beauty of the existing streams of water (from Assignments 1 and 2). Students must use various “a values” for their new parabolas to show understanding, and must sketch the trajectories in their engineering notebooks along with the appropriate quadratic equations for each new stream of water.\n4: Design of Water Fountain\nStarting from scratch, students are challenged to create an entirely new water fountain of their own design. Using what they learned from the first three assignments, they must graph and write the equation (in both Standard and Vertex Form) for each stream of water. Students must include appropriate domains and ranges for each equation written. Once the design is complete, the instructor will help students with kinematic equations from physics to find the required velocity to make each fountain precisely match the designed trajectory. Once provided with this velocity, students then research various water pumps by finding the required pressure rating (in psi, or pounds per square inch) for each pump and then identify available pumps from various suppliers (ex. Granger, Ingersoll/Rand, etc.). Students will write a detailed cost proposal that includes specific pump models, specifications, and velocities, and must support their proposal with mathematical evidence justifying the cost of each pump. If budgets allow for it, teachers have the option of actually ordering enough pumps to assemble and test the designed fountains and see if the calculated x-intercepts, apexes, and axes of symmetry match the design.\nExtension Assignment - CAD Design of Water Fountain\nUsing a freely available CAD software program like Sketch-Up or TinkerCAD, students will design the fountain as a virtual 3D object, using the previous calculations to specify the dimensions of the design.\nUnit 4 : Balloon Rockets\nUnit 4 Description\nStudents will follow the design process to design a transport vehicle that will travel an unknown distance powered by an inflated balloon. Built from simple materials, the student-made vehicles will race across the room while suspended from two fishing lines. Students will implement and diagram the Universal Systems Model of problem solving to develop their vehicles. Once built, students will gather test data to explore mathematical relationships and patterns between the balloon’s volume, radius, and distance traveled. Students will plot multiple data points for a wide variety of balloon volumes to develop a graph that will allow them to use the relevant independent variable (balloon size) to predict the value of the dependent variable (distance traveled). Students will then be given a predetermined distance, and must use their established function to inflate their balloon accordingly to make their vehicle precisely travel the target distance.\nUnit 4 Key Assignments\n1: Problem Definition and Idea Generation\nStudents first draw up plans for their prototypes, which must be approved before getting the materials. Students will create thumbnail sketches, a rough sketch, and a final scaled drawing using measurement of inches. All sketches, drawings, and design notes will be done in students’ engineering notebooks.\n2: Build The Design\nStudents will build their design using household materials (paper towel rolls, straws, string, toothpicks, cardboard, etc.). Each student will get a balloon of the same size and color. Students are to build their prototype to carry an object of their choice (lego figurine, washer, weight, etc.). The object must be able to be set on the vehicle without being attached in any way. Students will be given an initial minimum distance their vehicle must travel, as well as a maximum balloon diameter. Students continue to use their engineering notebooks to record data, sketches and such.\n3: Test and Collect and Analyze\nStudents will use the mathematical model to figure out a predictable output for their balloon transport vehicle. Using the data, students determine what relationship there is between the variables and write a function equation using proper function notation. They will retest their designs by changing fuel input (balloon inflation) and corresponding mass of vehicle until they find a formula that will allow them to plot data points to accurately predict an outcome. Students will document their design drawings, their test results, and their reflections on the process into their engineering notebooks to record the relationship between balloon volume and distance traveled. On test day they should be able to use their data points based on previous investigation, that will allow them to know how much fuel they will need to reach the unknown distance.\n4: Enrichment Activity\nPerformance information will be shared and the students will analyze possible patterns in the data. Students will incorporate the analysis into the redesign process for subsequent redesigns of their vehicles. After students reach the unknown distance on test day, they now must reach that distance using the least amount of fuel as possible. They must optimize fuel usage to determine the most efficient balloon transport vehicle. They will redesign and test to see if mathematical analysis improved their projects.\nUnit 5 : Build A Better Bottle\nUnit 5 Description\nIn this unit, students will investigate the behavior of exponential functions while designing a product whose behavior models exponential decay through heat loss. Students will employ the engineering design process to conceive and create an insulated coffee cup/bottle that is constrained by several inputs: size, material costs, safety, and thermal properties. The project begins by defining the needs of the customer and the appropriate design parameters and limitations. Students will then research Newton’s Law of Cooling to better understand how an exponential decay function describes the performance of any device that is designed to retain heat. Students will then explore the container’s behavior by altering different initial conditions and then using temperature sensors to gather and record data for multiple trials. By graphing this data, students will develop the shape of the cooling curve, and will use graphing tools to match the mathematical function (exponential) to their data. Students then engage in the design process to investigate problem parameters by researching material thermal resistances and material costs. Students create initial design drafts and calculate the material costs for constructing their product. They then either use a CAD program (or traditional drafting techniques) to finalize their designs, while also calculating the thermal transfer parameters of their design. The students can then use these input parameters in the exponential model to determine the cooling rate for different liquids at different initial temperatures. Finally students create a proposal that includes the efficiency of their design as well as the calculated material cost. These proposals are presented as ideas to a “product manager” who assesses the manufacturability, cost and performance of the proposed products.\nUnit 5 Key Assignments\n1: Students use temperature sensors or thermometers to measure the cooling rates of a fluid of fixed volume in a coffee cup/water bottle. Students graph the data and then use a graph matching tool (LoggerPro, Excel, Plotly, etc.) to deduce the appropriate type of mathematical function. After sharing data with the entire class, students discuss the similarities and differences between quadratic functions and the behavior of the cooling function. Exponential functions are then introduced with the basic exponential function (y = ax), and students are given multiple examples of both growth and decay, along with numerous applications where these situations apply to physical phenomena.\nStudents are then given the specific mathematical structure of the cooling function:\nT(t) = Ae-kt +TA\nStudents analyze how the different coefficients (A,TA , -k) change the position and curvature of the exponential function. Other exponentials are also investigated in order to establish a common pattern. The goal of this assignment is to help guide the students towards an analytical tool for determining a performance function for their product. Students record data gathered and discussion notes in their engineering notebooks in preparation for the culminating assignment.\n2: Research Thermal Resistance and Thermal Qualities of Materials\nStudents research the physical parameters that actually affect the cooling function. This leads then to a discussion and further research into thermal properties of materials. Further investigations are designed to strengthen student understanding of how surface area, thermal resistivity, and thickness change the curvature of the cooling function. Student groups investigate the cooling rate of a known liquid through different containers with different surface areas, different thicknesses and different materials. Students will collectively produce a data report and analysis of the experimental input’s effect on cooling.\n3: Design A Better Liquid Holder\nStudents are now given the design challenge parameters for designing a better liquid holder. The design requirements outline specific design parameters such as the size specifications of the product (must fit in a standard size cup holder), the function of the container (must have removable lid and handle), and the cost range of the product. To better understand the consumer sales perspective of designing products, student designers will survey other students to get customer input on size, shape, and feel of various beverage containers. Once designers have enough responses to ensure statistical significance, they must then compile the data using a scatter plot or other graphical display to demonstrate understanding of customer preferences, so that any functionally-driven design decisions also consider the marketability of the product. Students then produce design drawings of their product, including material choice and construction design. Once their designs are completed, students must justify the design parameters using mathematical evidence from their explorations of Newton’s Law of Cooling equation. All reflections, calculations, and design sketches are all entered in their engineering notebooks.\nExtension Assignment: Model and Predict Product Performance\nUsing a software thermal analysis tool (Fusion360, etc), students can model the performance of their product based on the design they have proposed. Students generate a thermal analysis report and performance prediction based on material cost and design specs.\nUnit 6 : Design a “FUNctional” GUI\nUnit 6 Description\nTo provide students with an opportunity to use and apply their learning from the year in a new engineering context, students review the functional models covered throughout the course by designing and writing the code for graphical user interfaces, (“apps”) that simulate calculators for each of the mathematical representations or engineering equations covered in the course. The calculator accepts user input for the functional parameters of the problem, and generates the output for each functional model. By writing the computer code that processes the inputs to deliver the correct output, students must thoroughly understand the equations, possible inputs (including appropriate domains for independent variables), and must verify the outputs are flawlessly correct.\nUnit 6 Key Assignments\n1: Students have been hired to design a calculator app which simulates different mathematical functions related to the engineering principles studied in the course. Students identify the parameters that each method definition should accept from the user by reviewing the parameters found in each of the three functional representations, and should define what each parameter will represent for the real-world model. The teacher should check that students generate the following functions and parameters:\n- Linear: Parameters will likely be the slope (or rate) and y-intercept (starting value). A variation to this might be a linear equation in point-slope form with the slope as one parameter and the x and y coordinates of a data point as the other parameters to the method written.\n- Quadratic: Parameters will likely be the a, b, and c values (determined by user input). A typical representation for this might include the equation for projectile motion, with ‘a’ equal to the gravitational constant and the velocity (b) and starting height(c) of the projectile determined by user input.\n- Exponential: a and b values determined by the user. One example might include the cooling function studied in the previous unit, with (A,TA , -k) as the coefficients entered by the user.\nFor each of the three models or apps, students create a “Know/Need to Know” list for the app, which will inform their design decisions. Students write a formal proposal for each app they will design, and a timeline for the project.\n2: Once students have written the “interface” for the apps, they design each graphical screen which the user will interact with. Students define the screen or frame size according to their desired platform (Android, iPhone, website, etc.) and the typical “consumer” who will use each application, by researching and collecting data on their consumers, and using that data to inform the design decisions they make for the overall layout, colors, text fields, and buttons on the screen. Students create a Google Form and/or survey for their target audience, with directed questions that will inform the design decisions for the graphical components on their app. Based on their ideal “consumer,” students must determine the questions and information needed for adequate feedback and informed decisions, and must then market the survey to the typical “consumer” within their community.\nAfter gathering market data, students design and color their screen on graph paper, or using a computer application, then present a design proposal to the class for evaluation. After reaching a final design decision, students must identify the x and y coordinates, and dimensions needed, to properly place each component, then write the code for generating the graphical design.\nAlgebra Textbook: (use approved district math book)\nSupplemental Instructional Materials:\nDesign Engineering Textbook (district approved)\nGraphing Tool like Desmos or Plotly\n(Desmos is free: Desmos website\nLoggerPro, Excel, Plotly or similar graph matching tool\nFree CAD Software\nFor Unit 5\nFusion 360 tutorials", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Pet owners should also clean their homes every day to remove excessive fur shedding.\n(Note: Maximum cleaning time per room is 25 minutes.) For example: Your Roomba and home base are located in the family room (Room 1).\nIt works by feel every time, adapting to changes in furniture and other objects. Thus, you should have no issues changing floors. However, you will want to relocate both the Roomba and its docking station when changing floors. The unit should be started from the docking station, so it has a place to return 'home' to.\nRoomba® can also learn your home as it cleans. It typically takes three (3) to five (5) cleaning missions or Mapping Runs to generate a fully developed Imprint™ Smart Map that you can then customize and use.\nRoomba® 900 Series and Braava jet\nRobots that use iAdapt® 2.0 Navigation Technology with Visual Localization can systematically navigate your cleaning area, utilizing the camera to identify landmarks to help Roomba® understand its location.\nPotential Clog in the Clean Base™\nRemove any debris from the debris evacuation port on the bottom of the Clean Base. Unplug the Clean Base™ Charging Station + Automatic Dirt Disposal from the wall. Clean the Clean Base™ debris evacuation tubing on the bottom, and then remove any debris.\nDoes rebooting Roomba delete everything?\nA soft reset preserves all user data in the companion app, including logins, saved maps, and preferences. You can do a hard reset in the Roomba app, which will eliminate all of your personal data from the bot, the app, and Roomba's cloud storage.\nRoomba® s Series: Press and hold the CLEAN button on your robot for 20 seconds. When the button is released, the light ring around the bin lid will swirl clockwise in white. It may take up to a minute-and-a-half for your robot to turn on. The reboot procedure is complete when the light ring shuts off.\nWhile the iRobot® HOME App provides many benefits, a Wi-Fi or App connection is not required for Roomba® and Braava jet® to clean. For Roomba®, Clean, Dock, and Spot Clean do not require a connection to the app.\nIt told TechRadar, it largely comes down to personal cleaning preferences. “We often hear from our Roomba customers with pets, kids, or who live in areas with a high-allergen count and dust and debris, that the greatest benefit for them is that they can run Roomba as often as they need,” it said.\nAlways keep Roomba plugged in when not in use. Recharge Roomba as soon as possible. Waiting several days to recharge Roomba can damage the battery. For storage off the power supply, remove the battery from Roomba and store in a cool, dry place.\nRoombas in the 700, 800, and 900 Series will tell you it is full when the red trashcan light begins to blink on the very top of it. All you have to do is: Pull the bin out. Take out the trash.\nYou're less likely to reintroduce debris if you go with a self-emptying bot. It's even more valuable if you live in a large house with a lot of floor space to cover. The robot vacuum will clean more efficiently, and you won't have to empty it multiple times per run.\nFortunately, doing so is pretty easy. Step 1: Press the bin release button on the back of your Roomba vacuum. This switch is marked by a trash can icon. After doing so, the entire dirt bin will slip out of the vacuum.\nThe life expectancy of a Roomba (from personal experiences) is approximately 2–5 years, depending on how well a person manages them.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Therefore, it can improve the utilization rate of carbon molecular sieves and directly reduce the consumption of compressed air.\n- Secondly, on site nitrogen generator has with advanced internal structure. The gas flows in an “S” shape during diffusion. At the same time, the gas diffusion is uniform, reducing the impact force on the carbon molecular sieve.\n- Thirdly, use the top-quality carbon molecular sieve. So it can match the most energy-saving and efficient ratio according to the actual working condition.\n- Fourthly, adopt reliable air source treatment parts. Guarantee the stable operation of PSA type n2 generator.\n- Fifthly, adopt the blizzard-filling method. Therefore, the carbon molecular sieve filling is more uniform and dense. It can reduce the friction coefficient to the minimum value and improve the reliability of the long-term operation of the n2 generator system.\n- Sixthly, this 99% nitrogen generator uses a Siemens PLC programmable controller. Realize automatic control. One key to start without manned operation. Moreover, realizes remote control. Real-time observation of operation.\n- Valve is the key to the stable operation of the PSA n2 generator. They open and close quickly. They have a simple structure, good sealing performance, and long service life. We use high-quality Y-type pneumatic angle seat valves.\n- In addition, the PSA nitrogen generator adopts the cylinder automatic compression device. It can ensure the adsorption performance and compression state of the carbon molecular sieve, effectively prolonging its service life. It does not produce a pulverization phenomenon.\n- This on site nitrogen generator has a variety of functions. For example, it has the function of emptying impure nitrogen gas. It also has the function of high dew point alarm indication.\n- Finally, it has a nitrogen purity meter. The measurement range is 97~99.999%. There is also a flow meter. The air switch and switching power supply are Schneider brand.\nHow to Size The Air Compressor And Dryer to On Site Nitrogen Generator?\nTake this 350Nm3/h psa type n2 generator as an example. The purity is 99%. What size air compressor and dryer are needed?\n|N2 Gas Generator\n|Adsorption Pressure (MPa)\n|N2 Gas Purity (%)\n|N2 Flow (Nm³/h.t)\n|Air Nitrogen Ratio\nSo it needs to choose the air compressor and dryer according to this flow.\nYou can choose a 90KW 120HP screw air compressor. Its airflow is 15.7m³/min 0.8MPa.\nAnd about the refrigerated air dryer, you can choose our model LY-D120AH.\nIn addition, if you also need the filters and tanks for the PSA nitrogen gas plant, we also provide them.\nHow Does PSA N2 Generator Work?\nThe working principle of on site nitrogen generator is PSA. It is namely pressure swing adsorption. It’s similar to the working principle of a desiccant air dryer. N2 onsite also contains 2 adsorption towers. The vessels are filled with carbon molecular sieves. It is a special adsorbent for oxygen adsorption. The two pressure vessels switch in turn to adsorb oxygen molecules.\nFor example, compressed air enters one of the towers (adsorption tower A). In tower A, the carbon molecular sieve adsorbs the oxygen. At the same time, nitrogen gas is collected through the vessel. While the pressure vessel is adsorbing oxygen, the other tower (Tower B) is undergoing desorption action. It uses a small amount of nitrogen. Vent the oxygen molecules from the carbon molecular sieve to the atmosphere. The twin towers switch automatically and interactively to maintain the purity through a PLC controller.\nQ1: Can your factory also produce high purity P n2 generators, such as 99.99%, 99.995%, and 99.999%?\nA1: Yes. We also manufacture these high-purity nitrogen generators.\nQ2: What about the regeneration gas consumption of your on site nitrogen generator?\nA2: The average regeneration gas consumption is less than 5%.\nQ3: What’s your n2 generator price?\nA3: Welcome to contact us by email or WhatsApp! We can send you a quotation quickly.\nQ4: How long to replace the carbon molecular sieve for the n2 generator system?\nA4: Usually the lifetime of a carbon molecular sieve can last for 4~5 years. Of course, we must do the PSA nitrogen generator maintenance work well.\nQ5: Can you also supply the air compressor and dryer?\nA5: Sure. Our company provides the complete solution for your PSA nitrogen gas plant.\nQ6: What’s the lead time of your on site nitrogen generator?\nA5: The production time of our PSA n2 generator is 30~40 days.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Anyone who has been in the Library the past few years knows how antiquated our system is. (See note for how complicated our system really is.) It is rarely comfortable in the Library, and we have even been forced to close on occasion. The City of Natchez owns the building, and their staff has done an admirable job of keeping the system functioning. However, the system needed to be totally upgraded, and the City simply did not have the funds available. Our only hope has been to find a grant. We would like to thank Southwest Mississippi Planning and Development, who were instrumental in obtaining these funds for us, and Adams County, who allowed the grant to be written in their name.\nWe'll keep you updated on the progress here. Right now, all we know is that we've been awarded the grant. You might want to read the article in the Natchez Democrat.\nUPDATE November 2011\nMetro Mechanical of Bolton MS was the low bidder. A contract with them has been signed, the parts have been ordered, and work should begin some time this month. It is not anticipated that the Library will need to be closed during construction.\nUnfortunately, we did not have sufficient notice that we were eligible for the grant in order to properly estimate the cost of the repairs/replacement of the entire system. The grant award, as it turned out, would only cover the internal repairs. This meant the outside chiller unit could not be addressed. After much discussion, we realized we also needed to focus our attention on the chiller unit, as the best internal system could not work without cool air (especially in Natchez in the summer, as we have all found out!).\nThe contractor estimated the additional cost, and the Library Board asked the City of Natchez and Adams County to fund this part of the project, and they agreed to do so. Remember that the original grant did not require any matching funds, so this was all they had to pay.\nSo at this time, we are just waiting for the work to begin. Hopefully, we will begin the new year with a renovated and functioning HVAC system.\nUPDATE July 2012\nEverything is now complete!\nUnfortunately, the library’s HVAC system is very complicated. It was designed to produce both heated and chilled air 24/7 in order to achieve a comfortable mix. The air handler in the attic has two different sets of ducts – one set for heated air and one set for chilled air, going to “mixing boxes” throughout the building. Each room has at least one of these mixing boxes, and some larger areas have several. Each mixing box has both heated air and chilled air ducts coming into I, and is attached to a thermostat, which SHOULD control how much heated or chilled air is allowed into the mixing box to be dispersed into the room.\nThe library has twenty-seven mixing boxes throughout the building – with twenty-seven thermostats, NONE OF WHICH WORK. So, basically we have no control over whether we have heated or chilled air – when both the inside and outside units are running. And BTW – the controls are inside, as is the furnace – but the chilled air part of the equation is the chilling unit, which is outside.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

An automobile engine is powered by burning a mixture of air and gasoline. When this mixture burns, combustion by-products, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, are produced. These gases pass from the engine to the car’s exhaust system and into the atmosphere via the car’s tailpipe.\nNitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons are responsible for smog. Nitrogen oxides also contribute to acid rain. Carbon monoxide is dangerous for people with heart disease because it affects the body’s ability to carry oxygen.\nIn the U.S., tailpipe emissions have been reduced by the installation of catalytic converters. Catalytic converters were first introduced in automobiles in 1975, and they are now also regularly used in trucks, buses, trains, mining equipment, forklifts, and generators.\nCatalytic converters work by converting the tailpipe pollutants into less harmful chemicals. They require platinum, palladium, and rhodium as catalysts. Platinum and rhodium are used to reduce nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen. Platinum and palladium are used to oxidize carbon monoxide and carcinogenic hydrocarbons to a less harmful greenhouse gas (CO2) and water.\nAlthough catalytic converters have been beneficial for the environment, they are not a complete panacea. They have reduced smog and other toxic emissions, but they require engines to run at less than optimal fuel efficiencies. As a result, more fuel is consumed and more emissions are released. They also contribute to the greenhouse effect by releasing nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.\nNext, learn about Combining Jewelry Manufacturing Methods | Precious Metals in Jewelry.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The system revolves around the control factor through a guidance system that increases the accuracy of compact excavator performance.\nThe fact that mini excavators or compact excavators are generally used to perform task at environments that have very limited space, it becomes imperative that these machine perform optimally in order to ensure project success.\nLeica examined this issue closely and came up with the perfect machine control solution that enhances the accuracy of these machines when they are required to trench, grade or move materials about on a much smaller scale.\nThe iCON site system for mini excavators offers task oriented solutions via three new components composed of software, a dual GNSS receiver and a communication device that is optional. The iCON site excavator system is capable of performing as a stand-alone unit or optionally it may be added unto existing iCON site platforms. It is optimised greatly when added on to existing systems as it allows workflow structures for both on and off machine tasks which will empower project crews to perform numerous tasks using the same tools.\nOperators are now able to scan surfaces using the Smart Antenna control unit and establish a design after which he or she is able to mount and commence the grading or trenching according to the pre conceived design. After this is completed the will use the system again to examine the work, check the machine status or immediately move to the next work design seamlessly.\nThe iCON unique platform ensures resources are used efficiently and this includes personnel deployment. According to the president of Leica Geosystems Magnus Thibbin, with this system, compact and medium range excavators become more versatile and these machines would be able to contribute much more than do now even for large projects. In essence, it’s a step forward towards achieving total machine autonomy.\nKomatsu’s Hands on Store for PC01E-1\nOther developments that are notable includes Komatsu hands-on store for the astonishing electric micro excavator the PC01E-1 in Japan. The leading industry manufacturer of a range of heavy equipment announced that the showcase held for their electric micro-excavator at Kaze AEON Lake town was a success.\nThe micro excavator was the result of collaboration between two industry giants, Komatsu and Honda. The machine has been received well by the heavy machinery and excavator rental markets and has been proven to be very effective for the niche ‘home improvement and small projects’ niche. The machine is fully electric and some of the more admirable aspects of the machine include long lasting battery life, quick charge and battery replacement which has been made exceedingly easy by the manufacturer.\nThe machine could be easily and rapidly charged with household power points or 100 w power supply units. The engine is also exceedingly quiet given the power it delivers for such a small sized machine. The machine is capable of performing almost all tasks that its larger counterparts are able to perform but only on a much smaller scale.\nOther features that have made this little giant a success includes the fact that the PC01E is easy to maintain and does not require excessive attention and refuelling unlike the fossil fuel powered excavator alternatives. The electric machine comes highly recommended by general contractors due to the practical advantages that the PC01E offers in urbanised environments where space is a big problem. The miniature excavators work performance has been given a full 5 star rating by those who attended the showcase and tried the machine on their own.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

As opposed to “Hydro-Foam™ Technology” which is used in union with master stream nozzles, these “Venturi-Type” foam proportioners are designed to be used in conjunction with a matched constant flow end-of-line device (e.g., nozzle), where adequate water pressure is available. The pressurized water stream creates a vacuum (the Venturi effect) which is used to suck foam concentrate into the eductor body. The dosing of the concentrate is controlled by either an orifice plate or a metering valve. The concentrate enters and mixes with the water stream. The foam solution exits through the outlet of the inductor.\nRatio Controllers are modified venturi foam proportioners that accurately meter pressurized foam concentrate into the firefighting water stream. These foam proportioners are used in conjunction with balanced pressure systems, such as bladder tanks and pumped proportioning skids. In operation, firefighting water flows through the modified venturi, creating an area of lower pressure, which is referred to as the “metering pressure drop”. This metering pressure drop is directly affected by the firefighting water velocity as it flows through the venturi. The (1%, 3% or 6%) concentrate-to-water ratio is maintained over the entire flow range of each size ratio controller. However, each size ratio controller has a minimum flow rate/velocity requirement, and these minimums must be maintained for proper ratio controller operation. Available in three styles and various sizes, each Ratio Controller consists of the following components: body; metering orifice; inlet nozzle. These components are constructed of ASTM 85-5-5-5 bronze. The inlet nozzle is tapered and machined to a smooth finish to maximize water stream efficiency through the venturi.

Dell Ventures accelerated the production of this multi-tier, industrial-grade edge-to-cloud-to-edge solution by leading Noodle.ai’s $35 million Series B round last year, joined by previous investor TPG Growth.\nUntil now, Industry 4.0 was no more than a buzzword for companies in the manufacturing and supply chain industries. No other end-to-end solution offered every necessary piece of technology that would allow companies to realize the promised economic and financial benefits. By partnering with Dell’s OEM group, Noodle.ai is able to deliver the first edge-to-cloud-to-edge, full-stack Enterprise AI® platform for supply chain and manufacturing operations.\nSince its inception, Noodle.ai has worked to bring Industry 4.0 to life and help manufacturing and supply chain businesses transform their operations to reduce waste, material defects, and the overall energy required to create products, solve predictive challenges and keep business moving forward.\nNoodle.ai’s suite of applications ensure that its customers are able to anticipate and plan for key variables affecting business operations, including product quality, maintenance, downtime, costs, inventory and flow. This mitigates issues before they happen and eliminates pockets of waste and inefficiencies that accumulate across supply chain functions. Its applications can predict potentially costly product quality issues and equipment failures and identify patterns in complex combinations and production variations to increase flow and profits.\nIn manufacturing, a tremendous amount of raw data is collected every day but isn’t utilized effectively. Data was traditionally collected for humans to analyze, through records of events and dashboards, but it is an unmanageable task for humans to sift through such a massive amount of data to uncover trends and quickly develop accurate predictions. To pinpoint issues and make informed predictions faster, this new platform ensures that data is optimally collected and processed for artificial intelligence to work at the speed that Industry 4.0 requires.\n“Working alongside our partners at Dell allowed us to create a powerful platform that can address the unique challenges that occur in the manufacturing space, especially around monetary and environmental waste,” said Ted Gaubert, CTO, Noodle.ai. “We measure success internally with reduced CO2 and radical efficiency as part of our not-so-secret plan to save the planet, and we are proud to bring not only those benefits to the manufacturing space, but also deliver cost and time savings by empowering Industry 4.0.”\nContributed by Daniel D.

The purpose of passive design is to minimize the energy consumption and to improve the thermal comfort. There are several principles that we should consider in order to produce a passive building design such as the orientation, materials, insulation, thermal mass, ventilation, and shading. To implement the passive design approach we should first understand the criteria of thermal comfort, analyse the local climate, and establish measurable energy performance targets.\nWhat are the principles of passive design and how to apply it?\n1) Location, orientation and layout\nThe location and orientation of the house can affect the ability to receive solar radiation and to encourage the interior air movement. In order to receive optimum solar radiation and sufficient interior air movement, the floor plan of a house for hot and humid climate usually provide spread-out floor plans and permeable internal organization.\n2) Material and colour\nIn hot and humid climate, materials for building envelope and surrounding surfaces should help minimise heat gains into the building or a house. Survey shows that many traditional houses in hot and humid climates use lightweight materials such as wooden walls and woven bamboo flooring. It different with current situation in which modern materials is used such as plasterboard, and lightweight concrete blocks.\nInsulation is a product that blocks the transfer of heat. It acts as a barrier to heat flow and help in keeping the house maintain comfortable for the interior spaces. Heat flows naturally from warmer to cooler space. Other than that, it also help to control any form of sound transmission. Usually insulation is needed in the ceiling, walls, and floor. The most appropriate time to install the insulation is during the construction.\n4) Thermal mass\nThermal mass can be defined as a material that have the capacity to store thermal energy for an extended periods. Usually the properties of thermal mass materials are high in density, good thermal conductivity and low reflectivity. Materials used are usually concrete bricks, sandstones, water, and stones.\nThe ventilation should be designed to achieved sufficient air flow rates. The higher the temperature and the humidity,the more air is needed to achieve thermal comfort. When designing a natural ventilation system, the long facade of the building should be facing the prevailing wind direction, with doors and opening windows providing the ventilation openings. Adequate ventilation may ensure that the indoor temperature does not become higher than the outdoor.\nThe purpose of shading is to control intense direct sunlight to ensure a comfortable for the interior space and at the same time minimizing the mechanical cooling loads. Shading should be designed to take into account the sun's path during the day.\nWhy passive design is important in Islam?\n1) “La darar wala dirar fil Islam”.\nThis Hadeeth is present in the 40 Ahadeeth of Imam Nawawi (RA), Hadeeth number 32 : On the authority of Saad bin Malik Al-Khudar (RA), that the messenger of Allah (Rasulullah saw) said : \"There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.\" (Related by Ibn Majah, Al-Daraqutni and others) .\nFrom this hadeeth, it shows that in Islam we are not allowed to create something that can harm the our surrounding. In other words, passive design is important to make sure that the built environment process does not harm the natural surroundings.\n2) Surah al-Ahzab verse 72\n“Indeed, we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant.”\nFrom this quranic verse it proves that Allah has offered human being ‘amanah’ to be a khalifah on earth. So that, it is human being responsibility of putting into application the divine laws on earth in order to keep the earth well balanced.\n3) Surah Ibrahim verse 33-34\n“And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day. And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favour of Allah , you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful.”\nIt shows that, it is important to being grateful for the present of the earth means to take care of it, that is to use it in a sustainable manners.\n4) Surah al-Rum verse 41\n“Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the need) that the hand of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that may turn back (from evil).”\nAll things have been created in a due proportion and measure (carefully balanced). Once the balance is disturbed, we should expect the worst, such as global warming and other kind of environmental destructions.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The Tough Turban was conceived and designed by Toronto’s Zulu Alpha Kilo, the dealership’s innovative creative partner, which developed this advancement using impact-resistant materials to better protect motorcycle enthusiasts.\n“Pfaff Harley-Davidson is proud to help champion an idea that celebrates the diversity of our ridership. We are honoured to help advance the cause of diverse gear and to help build awareness for the potential of the innovation amongst our vast community of riders across Canada and around the world,” explains Brandon Durmann, Brand Marketing Specialist at Pfaff Harley-Davidson.\nSince 1903, Harley-Davidson has helped shape the identity of millions of motorcyclists worldwide and represents a lifestyle and an emotional attachment. Harley-Davidson appeals to a growing community of riders, including those riders who wish to try an alternate form of head cover, other than the helmet.\n“The Tough Turban further empowers Sikh riders to protect who they are,” shares Zak Mroueh, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Zulu. “This initiative combines a lot of things we’re glad to focus on at Zulu Alpha Kilo – inclusion, innovation and our core principle that the world needs more creativity. I’m always thrilled when a team member crafts an idea inspired by their own heritage or personal experience. In this case, the idea came the team of Dan Cummings and Vic Bath, who is from a Sikh background. He was inspired by his father, who grew up in a small village in India and dreamed of owning a Harley-Davidson, which to him was the ultimate symbol of freedom.”\nTo bring the idea to life, Zulu tapped Spark Innovations for the preliminary design of the Tough Turban. It features emerging technologies in protective gear like non-Newtonian foam that hardens on impact, 3D-printed chainmail and a composite fabric used in bullet-proof clothing. The full design considerations for the prototype have been open-sourced and released online, enabling any manufacturer in the world access to the virtual blueprint to make their version of a reinforced turban for riders in their region. Details are available on a specially created mini-site to support the Tough Turban concept at: ToughTurban.com\n“We welcomed the opportunity to share our experience in the creation of protective gear to develop a turban application,” says Chris Pearen, Design Director at Spark Innovations. “Working with a Sikh consultant, we learned about the warrior culture and created a chainmail-like matrix that could be incorporated into the traditional feeling of a turban. Just seeing how engaged the riders are with the prototype is certainly inspiring!”\nCOLLABORATION WITH THE SIKH MOTORCYCLE CLUB OF ONTARIO\nPfaff Harley-Davidson and Zulu Alpha Kilo recognize that the Tough Turban is still in the early stages of development, which is why they have partnered with the Sikh Motorcycle Club of Ontario to test and improve upon design elements.\nInclusivity for all Sikh riders has yet to be achieved across Canada. Helmet exemptions were first granted to turban-wearing riders in British Columbia and Manitoba in 1999. Close to 20 years later, in the fall of 2018, Ontario passed Bill 194, exempting Sikh motorcyclists from Ontario’s helmet laws. However, all other provinces in the country have failed to adopt similar legislation.\n“Our members want the freedom to be able to ride from coast-to-coast-to-coast while wearing turbans,” says Jagdeep Singh, a spokesperson for the Sikh Motorcycle Club of Ontario. “We welcome the freedom to ride message that the Tough Turban touts, however for now, it strictly remains a concept. The idea needs to be developed further and tested for practical daily wear.”\n“In the meantime, Sikhs should have the same freedoms to ride in Saskatchewan, Quebec and the eastern provinces. We appreciate the support to fight for these more inclusive rights and the ability to broaden the benefits that come from charitable rides led by our club.”\nThe Sikh Motorcycle Club considers motorcycling to be both a hobby and a means of having positive impact. In the onset of COVID-19 last year, the Ontario chapter alone conducted nine motorcycle rides to 35 distinct first responder sites to recognize the efforts of frontline workers. The club also distributed thousands of meals to vulnerable families impacted by the pandemic and held protests in support of farmer rights in India. In the past, the club has also held rides to fight cancer, as well as support people with diabetes and substance abuse challenges.\nConcerns about safety are most commonly cited in discussions about helmet exemptions, but 22 years of riding with turbans have yielded precisely zero fatalities among Canadian Sikh motorcyclists.\nFor more information, visuals or to coordinate an interview:\nSELECT Public Relations\nPFAFF HARLEY-DAVIDSON® https://pfaffharley.com/\nZulu Aplha Kilo https://www.zulualphakilo.com/\nLearn more at https://www.toughturban.com/\nSource: Tough Turban | Sikh Entrepreneur", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The total area of the wings is 55m2, which for the first time, can seriously compete with horizontal axis turbines.\nThe Huia 1 entry level turbine brings a sobering level of simplicity to wind power generation.\nThe parabolic curve of the wings plus their height and width determines the square metre area used in the calculations. Each Huia 1 comprises 2 permanent magnet generators so that from the first rotation there is power being generated. As the torque increases, 2nd generator engages until 7m/s wind speed is reached, peaking at 1MW output per day.\nMPU wind turbines complies with all the principles of an alternative energy source and is therefore a prime candidate for consideration within and beyond the current market.\nMPU wind turbines presents itself at a very opportune point in time with the continued decline of ‘first generation’ wind turbines and associated gains of global government subsidies.\nFinally, there is a huge discrepancy in capital costs between the Huia 1 and horizontal axis turbines as well as the fact that MPU wind turbines can be operated as ‘portable/mobile’ units.\nMPU Wind Turbines\n- Innovative ‘sail-wing’ technology\n- Exceptionally low cost and installation\n- Wind pressure and not wind speed reliant\n- Significant environmental benefits\n- Price accessible to all economies\n- Considerable societal benefit\n- Highly attractive alternative to conventional horizontal wind turbines.\nIt is the intention of the Company to manufacture in Ruakaka, New Zealand and supply Platinum Power to where discussions have taken place.\nThe calculations for the Huia 1 power generation plant is based on an average of 7m/sec which will deliver up to 50 KW/hr, which can be stored or sent to grid.\nThe Huia 1 is capable of displacing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 300 acres of forest each year.\nMPU wind turbines rely on it’s unique combined ‘racing sail’ and ‘aerofoil’ design to deliver the highest torque per square millimetre generator. The PMG motors incorporated is based on the standard torque/joule equation as per any and all PMG motor principles.\nThe overall design of MPU wind turbines is not just unique but packaged to encourage an engaging, positive and pleasing public response. It certainly has the “wow” factor and will readily be publically accepted as there is no “threatening” aspects to the design nor function.\nBecause of their multi-directional capabilities, MPU wind turbines are able to convert more wind into power for greater efficiency and better power output. The spring-loaded lower thrust bearing also works well in blustery conditions.\nUnlike horizontal axis turbines, MPU wind turbines function properly regardless of wind direction. MPU wind turbines are ideal for locations where wind direction changes regularly as is experienced in New Zealand.\nLower Wind Speeds\nHorizontal axis turbines need large and heavy rotors to produce substantial quantities of power, and because of this the wind speed needed to keep them moving is high. Areas with low wind speed are suitable for MPU wind turbines and they can produce more power from the lower wind speed areas.\nNoise and Vibration\nThere is no getting around the fact that horizontal axis turbines are noisy when they are in full flight. MPU wind turbines do not suffer from this and the Huia 1 quietness means it is more suitable for ‘suburban’ installations. Even in gale force winds, MPU wind turbines are almost soundless with no visible vibrations due to the sprung lower thrust bearing taking gust impact.\nSpecific Sail Design\nThe following diagram illustrates the difference in air pressure:\nThe wind’s law of the 2nd power:\nThe pressure that the wind exerts on the sail depends on the 2nd power of the wind speed. Double the wind speed from say 5 knots to 10 knots, and the pressure (force) on the sails is quadrupled. Increase the wind from 5 to 15 knots and the pressure is nine times bigger.\nHorizontal axis wind turbine blades are designed to capture the kinetic energy from high wind speeds, whereas a low to mild wind blowing over a sail causes a difference in air pressure (x 9) that provides the lateral thrust propulsion.\nAerodynamics and Thrust\nThe aerodynamics is achieved with the same ‘cut’ as a racing sail but where the inside area is convex and the outer concave thus allowing for the optimum under-camber on the thrust face and maximum angle of attack or tilting of the leading edge of the sail (inclination). The airfoil effect has good depth thus allowing for maximum lift (sideways) of the sail through its lateral axis.\nAerodynamics for lateral thrust generation:\nIn ‘basic forces’ modules it is stated that when an aircraft is moving through the air, (In this case, the MPU sail wings) the consequent pressure changes or the aerodynamic reactions to its motion are acting at every location on its surface.\nFormula for calculation of lift from the wing:\nLift [ newtons] = CL × ½rV² × S\nSubstitute symbol ‘Q’ to represent dynamic pressure [½rV²] therefore\nLift [newtons] = CL × Q × S\nwhere Q × S is the force.\nThe formula is an approximation of the lateral thrust from the wing design. At any one time, the aerodynamic reaction will vary over the span of the wing but the optimum under-camber on the thrust face and maximum angle of attack or tilting of the leading edge of the sail (inclination) works exceptionally well in tandem with the racing sail design.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Jam nuts are not used as\nstructural parts and are commonly not manufactured to meet any\nspecific nut specification since their primary function is to\nprevent the larger nut from backing off the threads.

The\nheavy hex pattern has a larger width across the flats and corners\nand is slightly thicker in comparison to the smaller hex pattern.\nDue to its larger pattern, the heavy hex jam nut is likely to have\na higher proof load in comparison to its standard hex pattern\ncounterpart. However, because these nuts are typically non-graded,\nthere are not any strength comparisons available between the two.\nImported hex and heavy hex jam nuts are readily available in plain\nfinish and hot-dip galvanized conditions.

Material is supplied to UK remelts which, in turn, means UK extruders can be produced and supplied. All in all, this forms a robust UK closed loop aluminium recycling programme that enables us to save 95% of the original energy used to mine and refine.”\nThe closed loop system, which took us six years to develop and perfect, enables us to effectively separate the thermal barrier from extrusions to produce a 95 to 97% clean aluminium product. The extrusion and thermal strip are fractured away from one another and then overlaid with a mechanical solution. It’s so effective, we can sort up to 6 tonnes per hour.\nCase in point\nWe were approached by one of our customers, Origin Global, to improve their carbon footprint. We started by switching their daily scrap collections to fortnightly collections. This change alone reduced their journeys and emissions from transporting materials.\nThanks to our closed loop recycling process, we were then able to pass on 88% of their extrusion to remelting companies. The remaining 12%, which was packaging waste and thermal barrier, was sent for further recycling.\nSamantha Wright, Environmental Officer at Origin Global, said: “Alutrade is a supplier we can rely on and trust, and we’re consistently impressed by their high quality service. By working with them, we are confident that our scrap is 100% recycled and supporting the circular economy. The team are always very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond to our queries.”\nFor more insight on how we helped Origin Global significantly improve their scrap recycling rates, read the full case study.\nIn the meantime, for more information about our leading thermally broken extrusion processes or to find out more about our work with the fenestration sector, visit us on Stand D41 at the FIT Show.

You have to use one or the other to avoid your generator energizing the grid and possibly electrocuting a lineman.\nThe first thing I should mention is that although they meet NEC requirements, not all local jurisdictions allow panel interlocks. Some localities require that you use a transfer switch. If that’s the case in your jurisdiction, then the decision has been made for you.\nIn my jurisdiction, however, panel interlocks are acceptable as long as they’re UL-listed. Some local codes also require that they be manufactured by the same company that made the panel. I chose to use an interlock that was both UL-listed and made by my panel’s manufacturer. Inspectors have been known to make up rules on-the-spot, so I figured I might as well head off that possibility right from the start.\nThe main reasons I chose the panel interlock were simplicity and cost. Using a generator transfer switch would have cost between $400.00 and $800.00 more by the time all was said and done. It also would have taken between five and eight hours longer to install. When installing a transfer switch, you have to wire each standby breaker in the transfer switch to the corresponding circuits in the panel, which takes much longer than simply wiring the one standby generator breaker and installing the interlock itself.\nThe other reason I chose the panel interlock is because it allows me to use the main panel to decide which circuits get current while being powered by the generator, rather than being limited by the number of breakers in the transfer switch. Most 50-amp transfer switches are limited to ten circuits. I wanted to be able to choose to power any of the circuits in my house up to the generator’s rated output (though obviously not at the same time).\nBy using the interlock switch, I could, for example, choose to power my electric clothes dryer if I absolutely needed to dry laundry for some reason. All I’d have to do would be shut off some of the other high-draw circuit breakers that might automatically kick in while drying the clothes (freezers, well pump, and so forth), and simply not use other high-draw items like the electric range, dishwasher, and air-conditioner while the clothes were drying. Or I could shut those breakers off, too, if I wanted to be certain that neither I nor anyone else absentmindedly turned them on while the clothes were drying.\nFinally, the generator itself is breaker-protected (in addition to the new backfeed breaker I installed in the panel) and all the wiring exceeds the breaker capacities. So even if I did inadvertently overload the generator, the worst thing that would happen is that I’d pop a breaker. That would be a bother, but not a tragedy.\nAnother question I had to answer was:\nCan Any Circuit Breaker Be Used as a Generator Backfeed Breaker?\nThat answer turned out to be no. Most circuit breakers don’t care in which “direction” the current flows, but some do. Grossly oversimplified, If the breaker terminals are labeled with markings such as “LINE” and “LOAD,” then it matters in which “direction” the current flows through the breaker. If not, then it probably doesn’t.\nMy breakers don’t have those markings, so I contacted the manufacturer and asked them if the circuit breaker I was considering could be used as a backfeed breaker. They said it could.\nThe other thing I had to do was choose the breaker appropriate for the circuit in terms of voltage and amperage. I’m using the 240V, 50-amp output on my generator, I wired my circuits to 50-amp standards, and my house has a Square D distribution panel and uses HOM breakers; so I needed a Square D 240V, 50-amp, 2-pole HOM breaker, in addition to the interlock kit.\nIf you have any doubts whatsoever about what you need, please consult a qualified electrician. This post is an explanation of what I did, not a tutorial about what you should do.\nThe next factor I had to work out was:\nHow to Determine What Wire to Use for a Backup Generator\nIn a nutshell, my choice of wire was determined by the National Electrical Code.\nMy locality doesn’t impose any additional requirements beyond the national code, so I looked up the wire gauge requirements on a wire gauge chart. Most companies that sell electrical wire have wire gauge charts somewhere on their sites. You can also look up wire gauge requirements directly in the NEC, which is what I did.\nTo determine the wire gauge requirements, I had to know the ampacity (maximum current in amps) of the circuit, which was 50 amps in my case; the type of conductor (I used copper); and the type of wire and insulation (I used NM or “Romex” from the panel to the junction box, and THWN-2 from the junction box to the inlet box). The runs were very short, so the length was negligible in my particular case.\nI also knew that the portion of the wire that would run through the exterior conduit would have to be either UF or THWN-2 to meet the requirement that outdoor wire, even when in conduit, be rated for wet areas. THWN-2 is much easier to work with than UF and could be fed through a smaller conduit, so that’s what I chose for the outdoor run. Had I been burying the wire, I would have used UF (underground feeder) cable.\nWhen all of those factors were considered, it turned out I needed AWG 6 wire for both the NM cable and the THWN-2 to meet the codes and to satisfy my personal safety margin requirements.\nI also could have run the THWN-2 directly to the panel in conduit, but that would have been extra work for no benefit. Besides, I already had some 6-gauge NM cable in the basement.\nHow Did I Choose a Backup Generator?\nI wanted a portable generator so I could use it for additional purposes other than powering the house during a power failure; but I wanted it to be powerful enough to meet all of the essential electrical needs of my home and have enough extra power to use at my discretion for things like making coffee, watching television, and so forth during outages. By adding up the power requirements of the essential and optional devices, I decided that I needed a generator with roughly 9,000 to 10,000 watts running capacity and about 12,000 watts starting capacity.\nAfter months of research, I decided that the A-iPower SUA12000E Portable Generator had the best combination of cost, reputation, and positive reviews of all generators I researched in that power range. I also noticed that the manufacturer was active on the various review and question-and-answer boards I consulted. That’s always a nice thing because it suggests good product stewardship.\nWhy Did I Choose a Gasoline-Powered Generator?\nThe other factor influencing my decision was that most outages here don’t last more than a few hours, and the A-iPower SUA12000E can run about nine hours on a tank of gas; so I decided that the added work of piping a generator into the propane system wasn’t worth bothering with. If we frequently had longer outages, I would have considered a propane-powered generator.\nThere is an aftermarket natural gas / propane conversion kit available for the SUA12000E, but I haven’t installed it. Maybe I will when the warranty expires.\nHow Has the A-iPower SUA12000E Generator Worked Out as a Backup Generator?\nAs of this writing, I haven’t experienced any outages since installing the generator. But I’ve done several load tests, and it’s worked fine every time. So far, I’m happy with my choice. The first actual outage will be the real test.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This means that transits must be complemented with excellent product information to maximize the safety awareness in all stakeholders, from the client, the purchaser, through engineering management to those directly responsible for installing transits.\nThe installation of multi cable transits encompasses structural, electrical and mechanical disciplines. Furthermore, their safe installation and compliance with both regulations and manufacturers' recommended installation instructions requires the supervision of quality assurance and quality control personnel, and the final approval of a certifying authority. It is, therefore, essential that all parties are familiar with the expectations of the final signatory authority and are made aware, by the owners and management, of the importance of a well- installed product.\nWe must emphasize how important it is to install multi cable transits correctly the first time round. The costs of refitting, and at worst a failure, are far greater than those associated with a safe and timely first-time installation.\nGiven the importance of transit installations, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide comprehensive support to all parties within the project. This support should include, but is not limited to, such items as certification and testing documentation as may be required; literature and software for efficient and accurate procurement of product; and a comprehensive training programme for installers, quality control personnel and regulatory inspectors.\nWe believe that not only should training be emphasised for new cable transit installers, but also for those installation teams already familiar with the product to be installed.\nTo realize this goal, it is essential that the client, construction company, contractor and manufacturer cooperate to ensure such information and initiatives are available and utilized.\nThorough training with cable and pipe transits – including cable management – is indispensable for achieving the high standard of safety needed when installing transits. On-the-job training is carried out in the normal work environment using actual transit components, tools and documents that are used in everyday work tasks.\nOff-the-job training takes place away from the normal work environment, often on the premises of the transit manufacturer. Advantages of this type of training is that it allows trainees to concentrate totally on training activities without work production pressures, to train on a variety of transit types and applications, and to understand the theory and practice that lie behind transit design and installation.\nTraining should instill an awareness of safety regarding the use and installation of cable and pipe transits at all levels of a construction project. The relevant staff in design companies should know what types of transit are available and where they are best used. Shipbuilding or construction site managers should be trained in all aspects of transit design and installation so that they know how to train installers and how inspection routines are carried of effectively. And installers should be trained how to fit transit frames and blocks correctly to achieve tight systems of the highest standard.\nConstruction site management is strongly focused on obtaining a good return on investment for their company, something which staff training helps to realize. Trained employees understand the importance of their job, their role in an organization and how to carry out tasks accurately and efficiently. Training also contributes to high staff morale and job satisfaction.\nAll these factors enable construction personnel to perform high-quality work that not only puts safety first with cable and pipe transits, but also avoids the need for reworking along with consequent increased costs.\nCable and pipe transits must have features that make them safe in a variety of hazardous applications to protect people, environment – including intellectual property like computer data – and to help ensure the continued operations of a business or other organization.See more\nThe design, materials, construction and finish of frames play decisive roles in determining the safety of frames in withstanding constant stress in maritime and land-based environments.See more\nBefore working with insert blocks, cable management has to be carried out. Basically, this means that all cables passing through frames must have enough movement to allow them to be positioned correctly to facilitate fitting the insert blocks.See more\nFor first-rate insert blocks, a lot of thought and good science goes into what may at first seem a simple transit component. But the performance of blocks is a key element in assuring the safety of cable transits.See more\nTesting for certification purposes is carried out in independent laboratories throughout the world. The Fire Test Procedure (FTP Codes) Standards, however, apply equally to all laboratories, no matter their location.See more", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

With this partnership, the researchers at Argonne plan to help industry develop a range of new commercial reactor and fuel cycle concepts with the potential to go beyond today’s traditional large water-cooled reactors and address climate change.\nOur team has already kicked off work with Argonne on numerical modeling of heat production and removal in our high-temperature gas-cooled microreactor. Argonne nuclear engineer April Novak, one of the laboratory’s Maria Goeppert Mayer fellows, will help our team create high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics models of the microreactor in shutdown conditions, including its passive heat removal systems. One of these heat removal systems is called an air jacket, which consists of a thin layer of ambient air in between the reactor and the shielding. Since microreactors uniquely benefit from passive cooling, the air jacket modeling work with Argonne will be truly novel and a critical requirement well ahead of any prototyping and testing.\nOur team plans to be the first new commercial reactor design to achieve a fueled test in more than 50 years. But achieving full commercialization for advanced reactors will require widespread, ongoing partnership across the Department of Energy and several national labs like Argonne and Idaho National Lab.

The pump creates a flow of water that draws it through the skimmer, main drain, and other water inlets. The water is then pushed through the pool's filtration system, where it is cleaned and returned to the pool. Pool pumps work by using an electric motor to drive a impeller, which creates a flow of water. The impeller is a rotating disk with curved blades that spin in a housing called the volute. As the impeller spins, it creates a low pressure area at the center of the volute, which draws water in through the inlet port. The water is then pushed out through the outlet port and into the pool's filtration system. The pump's motor is connected to the impeller by a shaft, which spins the impeller. The motor's speed determines how fast the impeller spins, which affects the flow rate of water. Most pool pumps have a variable speed motor, which allows you to adjust the speed and flow rate to match your pool's needs. There are two main types of pool pumps, single speed and variable speed. Single speed pool pumps have a fixed motor speed and flow rate. Variable speed pool pumps allow you to adjust the motor speed and flow rate to match your pool's needs. They are energy efficient and can save you money on your electricity bill. Pool pumps are a crucial component of any swimming pool. They work by circulating water through the filtration system, removing debris and contaminants to keep the water clean and safe for swimming. With the benefits of reduced maintenance, energy savings, and an extended lifespan, pool pumps are an essential investment for any pool owner. There are several benefits to using a pool pump, including: Cleaner water: Pool pumps help circulate water through the filtration system, removing debris and contaminants that can make the water cloudy or unsafe for swimming.

Air purifiers remove airborne contaminants and allergens that can cause allergy symptoms. Particles that are lighter than air include pollen, mold spores, animal dander and dust. These are effectively filtered from the air in your home by using a quality air purifier. HEPA filters are essential for proper air filtration.\nAustin Air air purifiers feature a true, medical grade HEPA filter that provides filtration for 3-5 years. These machines are extremely popular air purifiers for allergy and asthma sufferers. The series features air cleaners that have advanced filtration carbon blends for removal of gases, odors, and vapors. Austin offers the best deals for those with moderate allergies who are looking for a reliable and low maintenance air purifier that delivers first rate air filtration. Austin Air parts and filters are manufactured and assembled in the United States.\nConstruction, Design, and Air Filter Technology\nAustin Air produces its products with solid steel construction and non-toxic paint for strength, reliability, and longevity. The company incorporates the only trusted air filtering technology used in hospitals and operating rooms. Unlike other air purifiers, these air cleaners do not emit any toxic ozone. Many allergy sufferers rely on their Austin Air cleaner to control very serious respiratory conditions like asthma. For these people, the smallest amount of an irritant can have severe effects.\nThe engineers at Austin Air started their design work by concentrating on developing the most critical component of the air cleaner--the filter system. Austin Air's 360-degree intake system draws air into all sides of the air cleaner. Every minute 250 cubic feet of air is processed by a 4-stage filter that progressively removes contaminants out of the air. This efficient filter enables the Austin to achieve a high performance level, to attain superior air flow rates, to sustain a longer life (5 years under normal residential use), and to increase the life expectancy of the HEPA media in the filter.\nFor an air cleaner to be effective it must remove sub-micron particles, noxious gases and chemicals without creating any by products like ozone. In every Austin Air cleaner, you will find medical grade HEPA and Activated Carbon. Developed to specifically protect our nose, mouth, throat, and lungs, True HEPA is the most effective particulate filtering media on the market. It removes 99.97% of all particulates as small as 0.3 microns and 95% of particulates 0.1 microns and smaller. Also, Austin uses specially manufactured Activated Carbon, which gives the carbon a larger surface area to chemically bind and adsorb more impurities. The result for you is nothing but clean air and improved indoor air quality.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Manufactured in Japan, the highly advanced materials will expand the company’s range of 3D printing options available to product designers, design engineers, manufacturers, hobbyists and more.\nThe new PET and high performance PLA filaments will be demonstrated in public for the first time on the Verbatim’s stand (Stand H12) at the TCT Show in Birmingham NEC, UK, held between 28-29 September. The new filaments complement the company’s existing portfolio of top grade ABS, PLA and ultra flexible PRIMALLOY™ (TPE) filaments. Also on display will be two other filaments that are soon to be launched: BVOH, a water-soluble support material; and PP (Polypropylene), a commonly used tough and flexible plastic.\nPLA is a very popular choice in the 3D printing community given its low toxicity and better eco-friendly credentials compared to petroleum-based plastics. However, PLA sometimes has problems with warping and brittling, but the new high performance PLA material from Verbatim includes special additives from Mitsubishi that virtually eradicate these issues and offers longer life. In addition, the unique mix is soft enough to allow 3D printed objects made from Verbatim’s high performance PLA to be sandpapered for a smooth finish, a key feature when producing 3D objects for display purposes.\nThe new Verbatim PET filament is a stable yet lightweight plastic already popularly used for packaging bottled drinks, for which demand is growing in the 3D printing industry because of its ease of use, sturdiness (with a tensile strength of 70Mpa*) and high level of transparency (optical transmittance 90%*). Users will find the printed objects will be relatively smooth, with a ribbon-like texture and an attractive transparent, sparkly appearance.\n“Manufactured in Japan with high quality materials and tight industry standards, the new materials we have introduced use highly evolved and proprietary manufacturing processes to yield the best possible 3D printing results. Consistency is key and Verbatim’s new 3D printing filaments offer consistent quality from spool to spool. The new products also benefit from better tolerances and will extrude effortlessly without risk of jamming or clogging in the printer,” explains Rüdiger Theobald, Marketing Director, Verbatim EMEA.\nVerbatim’s new filaments are compatible with nearly all 3D printers, including Ultimaker, Massportal, MakerBot, Leapfrog, RepRap derivatives and those from Aye Aye Labs, Builder, iMaker, PrintrBot, and many others. A complete list is available on the company’s website: http://www.verbatim-europe.co.uk/en/3D/printer-compatibility/\n*Reference value of raw material.\nVerbatim is a leading global company in data storage and LED lighting with a broad product portfolio spanning consumer and professional applications. Verbatim has been shaping the development of data storage devices since 1969 and is the world’s No 1 supplier of optical media (Blu-ray, DVD and CD). The company also markets flash memory, external hard drive storage solutions, a wide range of computer accessories, plastic filaments for the 3D printing industry and water filters under the Cleansui brand name.\nVerbatim is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Kagaku Media owned by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, one of the world’s largest chemical companies, which invests heavily in R&D across many diverse sectors.\nThe company’s operating principles are founded on helping people to live in a healthy, comfortable and sustainable way.

(Photo: VNA)\nHCM City (VNS/VNA) - Enterprises in export processing zones (EPZs) and industrial parks (IPs) should use high technologies to better manage manufacturing processes and improve product quality.\n“We can fully expect a future where everything will be automatic, people's living standards will be higher, and machines will serve instead of human in many functions,\" said Cao Thi Phi Van, Deputy Director of the HCM City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC).\nTran Thien Long, deputy head of the HCM City Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks Authority (Hepza), said the city has set a goal to have all EPZs and IPs being “green, clean and hi-tech” by 2025 and build new hi-tech zones for supporting industries.\nPriority will be given to current investors in hi-tech especially those applying the Industry 4.0, and support industries with high value-addition, he said.\nSpeaking at a meeting on smart industrial parks last week, Lam Nguyen Hai Long, director of Quang Trung Software Park, pointed out that in smart industrial parks, everything will be appended to sensors and IoT (Internet of Things) devices, allowing businesses to have a comprehensive understanding about equipment and machines being used in industrial parks.\nAI systems will give directions and automatically correct errors of devices. Therefore, daily duties will be solved quickly and operation processes will go smoothly without much interruption.\n“In the future, we can also expect robots and humans working together.”\nThe fourth Industrial Revolution has significantly changed the manufacturing process. Enterprises that want to maintain and develop for a long time will have to enter the technological race to promote their production models, he noted.\nSmart industrial parks can offer enterprises competitive advantages as everything is automatic and digitised. Enterprises can easily control an entire system with a mobile phone, reducing dependence on labourers. Very few people are needed to operate the model as everything is determined quickly and automatically by computers and AI systems.\nWorkers’ jobs will consist of operating systems and checking for arising problems. Workers will also have the responsibility of solving complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of computers.\nChallenges facing IPs\nIn HCM City, EPZ and IP infrastructure, mostly built in the 1990s, has deteriorated, especially wastewater treatment facilities, with a number of central wastewater treatment systems found to have violated environment/wastewateral regulations.\nMany companies seeking to expand cannot find enough land for lease, and rentals are priced too high compared to EPZs and IPs in neighbouring provinces.\nIn addition, roads near EPZs and IPs are often overloaded, leading to higher production costs for tenants and limiting their competitiveness.\nOther problems include lack of schools, accommodations and medical facilities for workers and their families, experts said.\nThe limited availability of skilled IT and management personnel is another problem.\nTo address these issues, administrative procedures related to investment, labour and construction in EPZs and IPs need to be simplified to attract foreign investment. The quality of life and working environment/wastewater for workers also must be improved, experts said.\nThe meeting also presented more than 20 technology products and solutions for production, management and business activities at IZs and EPZs in HCM City.\nThe event was held as part of a series of smart industrial park workshops by ITPC, HCM City Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority (HEPZA), and Quang Trung Software City./.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The original Santos Dumont (invented in 1904 by Mr Louis Cartier for his friend, the Brazilian aviation pioneer Mr Alberto Santos-Dumont) is not only considered to be the very first pilot’s watch ever created, but also the first-ever men’s wristwatch. Equally impressive, the modern version of the watch – which, launched in 1978, took the square case of the original and added a steel bracelet and the watch’s trademarks screw details which is one of the key styles that helped transform Cartier into the globally recognised brand it is today. It was so successful in the 1980s, that it became perhaps the signature watch of that period, thanks in part to its appearance in movies from Wall Street to Clear And Present Danger. Since then, it’s been a favourite that has continued to receive tweaks such as the larger sized Santos Galbée XL in 2005 – but always remained true to the original, now-classic design.\nNaturally, then, for its 40th anniversary in 2018, Cartier had to do something special with Santos de Cartier. And clearly, they took this task seriously. In 2016, Santos de Cartier watches were quietly discontinued, much to the consternation of many watch fans. Then, at this year’s SIHH watch fair, an all-new Santos range was unveiled\nAs throughout the history of Santos, the key updates here are subtle, but timely. The case, originally inspired by the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower, has been given slightly softer, more elegant curves that fit more comfortably on the wrist. The bezel has been extended towards the strap, which can now be interchanged easily, without tools, thanks to Cartier’s QuickSwitch system. What’s more, each watch comes with two straps – and the movement has been updated to Cartier’s in-house automatic calibre 1847 MC, which was introduced in the 2015 Cartier Clé collection. All styles come in two sizes: medium (at 35.6mm in diameter) and large (39.8mm), the latter of which features a date window at six o’clock.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It's so much more efficient\nthan trying to cool with air. For a variety of reasons, but primarily\nbecause it separates the problem of physical device and radiator surface.\nConsider liquid vs air cooled internal combustion engines. Really high\npower density often uses some sort of phase change (ebullient) cooling,\nalthough the design challenges are significant. Even some laptops have used\nliquid or phase change cooling (heat pipes) to move the heat from the CPU to\nthe case. An interesting exception to liquid cooling for high power devices\nis big generators, which are cooled with hydrogen gas (low viscosity and\ndensity, so low aerodynamic drag)\nBut liquid cooling, per se, isn't a crippling thing to work with. And, it\nactually allows certain design economies: no more do you have to constrain\nthe design for air flow, or conduction through the boards, nor do you have\nto fool with an array of CPU fans, video card fans, etc.\n> Cooling a 10 kW rack well looks to be extremely tough with air,\n> and going much above that would seem to require something approaching\n> a dedicated wind tunnel. Any opinions on how high the power\n> dissipation in racks will go before the manufacturers throw\n> in the air cooling towel and start shipping them with water\nConsider that 10kW is 5-10 times the power dissipation of a hair dryer.\nOther solutions that might turn up are an internal cooling loop to move\nheat from inside to a big heatsink on the surface. Modern rack mounted PCs\naren't particularly designed for efficient thermal transfer with minimal air\nflow. (there's no economic incentive for it)\nThere are economies of scale to a common chiller, though, because when you\nget to large HVAC, cold water is what you get, rather than cold air, because\nmoving cold air is a LOT more expensive than moving cold water.\n> If you were designing a computer room today (which I am) what would\n> you allow for the maximum power dissipation per rack _to_be_handled_\n> by_the_room_A/C.

Setra has the raw material, sawdust, while Preem has refineries and filling stations. The pyrolysis plant in Kastet creates a strong new value chain for renewable fuels, from forest to tank.\nSetra has long been investigating the potential to make greater use of the by-products generated by its sawmills and processing units, primarily chips and sawdust. The aim has been to increase both the economic value and the climate benefit of the products.\nFunded by Klimatlivet\nIn 2016, Setra initiated a feasibility study into bio-oil production based on pyrolysis, the purpose of which was to examine whether a pyrolysis plant could be integrated with the sawmill in Gävle and the nearby combined heat and power plant. This concept formed the basis for the application to Klimatklivet that was submitted in spring 2017. Klimatklivet is a Swedish government funding initiative that supports local and regional measures to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases that affect the climate. In early summer, Setra received the great news from Klimatklivet that the plant had been granted SEK 117 million in investment aid.\nWith the investment secured, work began on applying for an environmental permit. Consultations were held in the summer of 2017 and a final application was submitted to the Environmental Permit Office in Dalarna in late December. Following supplementary information and statements, an environmental permit was obtained for the business in October 2018.\nCollaboration between Setra and Preem\nIn parallel, discussions were held between Setra and Preem about a collaboration. A letter ofintent was signed in summer 2016 and the decision to set up a joint company, Pyrocell, followed a year later.\nPreem's goal is to promote the development of more sustainable biofuel production. The fuel company has initiated a range of projects and partnerships with various other parties, with a view to finding sustainable raw materials and processing techniques. Converting sawdust into bio-oil at a pyrolysis plant is fully in line with Preem's strategy.\nIn spring 2019, the boards of Preem and Setra took the final decision to invest in the pyrolysis plant in Gävle.

This is especially true for vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), as replacing the windshield can be significantly more expensive due to the need to recalibrate the systems. Repairing a crack can prevent it from spreading and causing further damage, potentially saving you from replacing the entire windshield. Additionally, windshield repair is quicker and less time-consuming than windshield replacement, which means less downtime for your vehicle. Not only is repairing a crack in your windshield a cost-effective option, but it can also help ensure the safety and functionality of your vehicle's ADAS systems, which rely on a clear and unobstructed view of the road.\nYour repair will have a scar, but repairs typically look much better.\nOnce a windshield crack is repaired, it is essential to remember that the damage may still be slightly visible. The main objective of the repair is to restore the structural integrity of the glass and is not cosmetic. This is accomplished by drilling a small hole at the end to terminate the crack and filling the damage with a specially designed resin that bonds with both surrounding layers of glass and the layer of plastic (PVB) in the middle. This process must be done by a trained professional and can not be done with a do-it-yourself kit. Once the resin cures, the repaired area becomes the strongest part of the glass. Even though the repair will be slightly visible, it will not jeopardize the safety or functionality of the windshield. Overall, while the appearance of the crack may not be completely eliminated, a repair will significantly enhance the glass's strength and appearance.\nYour repair will be stronger than new glass and last forever.\nRepair it and forget it. We use only the best resin in the industry, and your repair will be up to 156% stronger than brand-new glass. Once we repair your windshield, we warranty the repair for as long as you own your vehicle.\nFree mobile service\nDelaying a repair can lead to a larger crack and require a complete windshield replacement.\nAt Guardian Windshield Repair, we understand the importance of convenience. That's why we can often offer same-day or next-day services, and our mobile repair shop can come directly to you, so you don't have to go out of your way to repair your windshield.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Using and refining processes developed throughout history, Civic Trees has perfected industry leading techniques for lifting existing trees from one location and transporting them to another before successfully replanting it. Using these methods, it is possible to lift trees with stem circumferences up to 300cm.\nWhether moving trees across the country as part of a house move, or relocating trees on a site to allow for new development, relocating existing trees is an efficient and effective way to re-deploy existing tree stocks.\nTree moving can be used to great effect on development sites where, in their existing location, trees inhibit progress. Subject to local authority approval, even trees covered by Tree Preservation Orders can be relocated. Often this technique, coupled with planned replanting of semi-mature trees after development, can achieve a planning gain benefitting both the community and developer alike.\nRelocation is of particular use on country estates and golf courses where young tree plantations are often in abundance. Thinning young tree stocks to decrease planting density will encourage stronger, fuller growth of those trees that remain as well as providing new plants for use around the property.\nA number of methods are employed for successfully transplanting both mature and semi-mature trees. An extensive range of tree-spades and the Newman® Frame allow trees to be moved with stem circumferences up to 300cm. Also, the range of equipment and the use of flotation tyres, allows access to be gained to almost all sites and trees.Newman® Frame\nFor situations where the use of tree-spades is not practical – such as for large trees with stem circumferences between 90 and 300cm, or sites with limited access, we developed the Newman® Frame.\nThis technology has been exported around the globe, and has proved itself in numerous countries under a huge diversity of conditions. It has become the accepted way to achieve economy and quality when transporting large trees.Tree Spades\nThis machinery is the most common way of lifting, transporting and replanting semi-mature trees – and the development of the equipment in the mid 1960’s was the greatest mechanisation in the industry, as it reduced the time needed to prepare and lift a tree from a nursery.\nCivic Trees introduced the first Vermeer tree spade into Europe in 1968. Today, we have the largest and most comprehensive fleet of tractor mounted tree spades in the UK, and we can easily move trees with stem circumferences up to 90cm from one site to another.\nThis size range allows us to move almost all semi-mature trees.

Perfectly horizontal in the original version it slopes steeply in the one-off. The line thus gains dynamism and modernity while remaining consistent with the original image.”\n“The rear shoulder has been remodeled to create a more dynamic wing. Still in the rear we find strong references to classic Ferrari-Pininfarina styling cues such as the rear fins and vertical rear window which gave iconic status to cars like the 308, the Dino, the 208 or again the 288 GTO. Notes of modernity arrive from the Enzo-inspired headlights.”\n“Special attention was paid to the design of the armrest: the guitarist in fact asked for particular care to be paid to this so that his fabled left arm was able to find appropriate room to lie on.”\nThe only remorse would be it retains the same 4,499cc F136 V8 making 570hp from 458 Italia, it would have been ecstatic and even more complete if they’d put some flat V12 heart like the good old 512 BB.\nGuess this one would justify the $4.7 Million price tag Eric Clapton paid for..", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Whether you need concrete raising, void filling, or slab stabilization, we are ideally placed to address various concrete related issues, saving you from incurring prohibitive replacement costs.\nOur experts conduct an in-depth assessment to determine whether your structure needs leveling and repair, or a complete replacement. Based on the findings, we offer professional and unbiased advice on the best way forward. Since inception, all of our clients have been pleasantly surprised at the savings they have been able to realize through our expert services, and you could be the next.\nPolyurethane concrete raising is an effective alternative to replacement, entailing savings of up to 50 percent. Apart from being a reliable and cost-effective solution, polyurethane concrete rising allows the work area to sustain normal usage within a few minutes after the completion of the job. In addition, easy material processing and clean up make it an obvious choice over mud-jacking.\nPolyurethane foam treatments are not only a viable solution for sunken concrete surfaces, but can also be used for void filling and stabilization in an array of structures such as patios, front porches, driveways, sidewalks, garage & parking slabs, steps, and pool decks, among others. In all cases, the process promises exceptional savings, without affecting the day-to-day activities in the area.\nMost concrete raising jobs take approximately 1-2 hours to complete, after which it is ready for normal usage almost immediately. Here’s an overview of how it works:\nHigh-Density Polyurethane Injection is used for concrete lifting, stabilization, and void filling applications. Preferred by Contractors and DOTs around the USA. Lifting concrete with foam offers the same results of traditional concrete raising, stabilization, and void filling, but with new and improved characteristics. Cost-effective compared to concrete replacement, this high-density polyurethane foam has quick cure time, is hydrophobic, moisture barrier, lightweight and provides 5/8” injection holes. With a material for any application, we are leading the concrete raising industry with this revolutionary new polyurethane application.\nDensity Polyurethane concrete lifting and stabilization avoid costly tear out and replacement. This allows business to run smoothly around the Polyurethane project avoiding down time.\nPolyurethane typically cures 15 minutes after injection allowing areas to be fully available in minutes not days.\nSpecially designed High-Density Polyurethane can be used in underwater or wet applications and have the same chemical reaction.\nBecause of high-density polyurethane characteristics, this foam-like material is resistant to water penetration.\nSpray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) is an insulation product that is spray-applied in situ at a building site or residence. Two liquid components, MDI (A) and polyol blend (B) are mixed under pressure and sprayed onto a roof or wall cavity. The reacting liquids expand and solidify into a foam matrix creating a seamless seal. SPF adheres well to the area it is applied to, providing an air barrier that prevents thermal leaks.\nClosed-cell foam (sometimes known as two-pound or medium density foam) has a high R-value of around 6 per inch. It acts as an air and vapor barrier. It also provides structural enhancement.\nOpen-cell foam (sometimes known as half-pound or low density foam) has an R-value of 3.6 per inch, and may act as an air barrier. It also acts as a noise absorber.\nSPF provides insulation, air and moisture protection for many different commercial building roof and wall configurations. SPF use allows for flexibility of building design, reducing overall maintenance costs, and can extend the lifespan of the building.\nSPF seals wall and roof cavities to save the homeowner money on heating and cooling expenses. Not only does it provide thermal protection, it provides moisture and air barriers mitigating dangerous mold and wood rot of the structure.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This approach, which yielded smaller, lighter and better performing systems, was first implemented in E-V’s landmark MH-4 loudspeakers in 1986 and has been refined over the years. Now, Electro-Voice has taken the evolution of its pioneering manifold loudspeaker designs and MH horn technology to advanced levels of audio performance.\nProviding high-performance audio reinforcement for permanent installation in stadiums, sports arenas, houses of worship, performing arts centers and other sizeable spaces requires a large-scale approach. With that in mind, Electro-Voice has expanded its portfolio of large-venue sound solutions with the MTS series, which is designed to deliver a combination of massive output and precise coverage.\nThe E-V Solution\nThe MTS systems represent a truly holistic approach to loudspeaker design. Loudspeaker geometry, complementary amplifier matching, and digital processing are computer-optimized to ensure precisely distributed SPL that remains balanced and controlled throughout the entire coverage area — even at full output.\nThe MTS series consists of single-box, full-range horn-loaded loudspeakers in point-sourse configurations with four 15″ woofers and two 1.4-inch exit coaxial mid/high frequency compression drivers. All are capable of generating peak SPLs in excess of 151 dB with controlled directivity for very long-throw applications (See Fig. 1).\nE-V’s R&D team developed a proprietary, state-of-the-art, dual lossless Hydra waveform converter that feeds a coherent arc source into a large constant directivity waveguide to ensure pattern control to below 350 Hz.\nOn the low-frequency side of the MTS system, four slot-loaded, high-efficiency 15” LF drivers are symmetrically coupled to the same full-range waveguide as the dual coaxial mid/high frequency compression drivers. This not only creates a true point-source system with substantial bass response, but also eliminates the need for additional subwoofers in many applications.\nAnother version — which delivers complementary performance to that of the standard three-way models — adds two additional side-firing 15” woofers positioned in a separate chamber at the rear of the cabinet that results in a cardioid configuration, delivering full-bandwidth directivity control that substantially reduces acoustic energy behind the speaker and sound spill outside the pattern. This enhances dynamics, improves the sound quality and clarifies speech intelligibility, while extending pattern control to the low-frequency cut-off of the system.\nThe MTS series includes 16 unique models to suit various specific requirements. These are based on two standard three-way configurations (MTS-4153) with 60° x 40° or 40° x 30° (Horizontal x Vertical) coverage, and two cardioid configurations (MTS-6154) that provide the same coverage patterns with enhanced low-frequency directional control. The 60° x 40° models can deliver extremely high SPLs: 151 dB peak (music) and 154 dB peak (speech) down to 55 Hz at -10 dB; the 40° x 30° models are capable of 152 dB peak (music) and 155 dB peak (speech) down to 50 Hz at -10 dB.\nThe MTS-4153 has a -3 dB frequency response of 55 Hz to 18k Hz (-3 dB) or 50 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB); the cardioid MTS 6154 has a similar top-end bandwidth, but goes slightly deeper on the low-end. All MTS enclosures the same square 43” x 43” facing on the co-entrant waveguide, and systems range from 43” to 58” deep, depending on the model.\nBuilt to Last\nAll MTS models feature stainless steel hardware and grilles, weatherized transducers, and durable birch plywood enclosures with internal bracing.\nEach version is available finished with EVCoat in black or white. Each model is available in a partially weatherized (PW) version for sheltered use or in a fully weatherized (FW) version for full exposure to the elements. All MTS loudspeakers have an IP55 rating (assuming a 5° down-tilt), indicating that they are highly impervious to dust and water ingress.\nThe fully weatherized models are specifically designed for harsh environments, including direct exposure to the elements. In addition to the features already described, all interior and exterior surfaces of the fully weatherized enclosures are finished with a weather-resistant coating that seals the marine-grade plywood. The grilles are backed with a special hydrophobic cloth that minimizes water intrusion without impeding the acoustic output of the speaker.\nThe enclosures are trapezoidal in both the horizontal and vertical planes, in such a way that tight-packing the loudspeakers in a cluster results in the smoothest coverage transition. Each MTS-4153 loudspeaker has 24 M10 hard points for suspension in either horizontal or vertical configurations. The cardioid MTS-6154 models have 32 M10 suspension points. The speakers can be suspended from individual cable systems or via third-party structural frames.\nMTS’ coaxial mid/high compression drivers feature a high-power passive crossover with 24 dB per octave slopes to minimize the required number of amplifier channels. The MTS-4153 has separate amplifier inputs for the MHF, LF1 and LF1 sections, although it can operate with just two channels if the LF1 and LF2 are wired in parallel. The cardioid section on the MTS-6154 models requires its own processed amplifier channel.\nAll MTS loudspeakers feature heavy-duty input/pass-thru panels, with dual 8-conductor Phoenix/Euroblock terminals (Phoenix Contact P/N 1709212). The connectors are mounted in a cast aluminum input cup and have a current capacity that exceeds 40 amps (continuous) with the ability to accommodate up to 10 AWG stranded wire.\nAn included cover plate with gland nuts provides protection for the speaker and wiring against water ingress and must be installed for outdoor and full exposure applications. The cover plate can also be installed for indoor applications to prevent tampering and enhance cosmetics, presenting a clean, consistent look for the rear of the loudspeaker.\nMTS loudspeakers are engineered to integrate seamlessly with Dynacord IPX series amplifiers and SONICUE sound system control software. For ease of setup and installation, the SONICUE software has presets for all MTS products. Proprietary speaker settings and limiter functions ensure optimum performance with long-term reliability at extremely high output levels. MTS is also compatible with Electro-Voice’s platform-independent PREVIEW software that’s designed to provide prediction visualizations of coverage, SPL, frequency response and precise mechanical load calculations.\nFor more information, visit www.electrovoice.com.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Since pressure-induced ischemia alters blood reperfusion and oxygen concentration levels, measuring O2 changes prior to and after reperfusion is a promising indicator for PU formation. Our device thus uses a transient loading method to measure the changes in oxygen concentration during blood reperfusion within the areas of skin with potential PUs. A reflectance pulse oximetry sensor is used to measure the oxygen saturation of the tissue before, during, and after pressure loading, while a linear actuator applies a controlled amount of pressure to allow for accurate sensor readings and slight blood occlusion. The loading is controlled via feedback between the actuator and an embedded load cell, preventing excessive forces from being applied to the patient.\nOur device was shown to be low-cost, easy-to-use, portable, and adaptable on a variety of patients and body locations, making it an attractive and feasible option for many hospitals and nursing homes, areas with high rates of PU development. Our method of quantitatively detecting ulcer formation was validated by the statistically significant difference in O2 change between the healthy patient and patient with a simulated PU, and by monitoring blood reperfusion, our device will be a lower cost alternative to many products currently in development, such as the SEM scanner or portable ultrasound technologies. Thus, our device can act as a low cost, quantitative method for detecting PUs, a necessity that currently doesn't exist for healthcare settings.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The car started life with a 2.0-litre V8 engine, before being upgraded to a 2.5-litre V8 in the Tipo 33/2 ‘Daytona’ and a 3.0-litre V8 in the Tipo 33/3. But this, the Tipo 33 TT 12, was fitted with a fearsome 3.0-litre flat 12-cylinder engine, capable of producing an enormous 500 bhp at a colossal 11,500 rpm! The weapon that Alfa Romeo needed had arrived, and all that was remaining was to beat the competition and win the Sports Car World Championship!\nThe Tipo 33 TT 12 earnt its name courtesy of its tubular chassis (telaio tubolare in Italian) and 12-cylinder engine. The lightweight tubular spaceframe chassis was built to accommodate the new, larger engine, with independent suspension all-round and inboard rear brakes. The bodywork was an evolution of the Tipo 33/3, again larger due to engine and chassis evolutions, but this time, it incorporated a ginormous rear wing and large front splitter.\nWithout doubt, Alfa Romeo was inspired by rival Ferrari’s similar flat-12 engine from the 312PB. The all-new, Carlo Chiti-designed, all-aluminium 2,995cc engine was built to comply with both World Sportscar regulations and Formula One, boasting four overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and over 500 bhp! Mated to the engine was a five-speed manual transaxle with a small but precise wooden gear lever in the cockpit.\nThe Tipo 33 TT 12 made its competition debut in the 1973 season battling with the Ferrari 312P, with Alfa Romeo using the second half of the season to fine tune and develop the car ahead of the 1974 season. Tasked with building and running these cars in period was Autodelta Spa, Alfa Romeo’s official racing department, which was run by motor racing legend and chief engineer Carlo Chiti.\nIn period, these Tipo 33 TT 12 cars were juggernauts! Once fine-tuned they were unstoppable, winning no less than seven of the nine rounds of the 1975 World Sports Car Championship, and when you consider that points towards the World Championship for Makes were only awarded to a team’s best seven results, Alfa Romeo took a clean sweep! But, the World Sports Car Championship was not enough, and the team wanted more success, which came in the form of outright victory at the the famed Targa Florio!\nThis, the Tipo 33 TT 12, is unquestionably one of Alfa Romeo’s most important post-war racing cars. It has everything one looks for in a truly exceptional historic racing car: dominant success, the world’s greatest drivers and a world-famous brand.\nCan you imagine hurtling along the Mulsanne Straight at the 2020 Le Mans Classic, going 11,000 rpm as you shift into fifth gear and just listing to the extreme howl that can only be made by this 3.0-litre 12-cylinder monster!? Stop dreaming…call us!\nThis Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12\nThe car offered here, chassis AR11512 008, was constructed by Autodelta, the official Alfa Romeo Works race team, in early 1974, making its competition debut at the Monza 1000 KM, held on 25 April. The legendary Arturo Merzario was elected to drive, being partnered with Italian-born American Mario Andretti. During this same season, Merzario was also competing in Formula One with the Williams Grand Prix Team, although sports car racing was where he would experience his greatest success. Mario Andretti, future Formula One World Champion, was busy making waves, driving for Ferrari in sportscar racing, Holman Moody at Le Mans and the NASCAR series and Vel’s Parnelli Jones Racing in the USAC Championship and Indianapolis 500.\nWearing race number 3, Merzario and Andretti qualified this Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12 on pole position around the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, round one of the 1974 World Championship for Makes. Race day saw Merzario, Andretti and Autodelta continue their dominant debut with a race victory — four laps ahead of the sister TT 12 piloted by Jacky Ickx and Rolf Stommelen, with the third TT 12 crossing the line in 3d! Italy went crazy for the Italian driver winning at an Italian circuit in a red Italian car, which incidentally even had a red steering wheel! Rightly so, the car was even featured on the cover of the weekly Italian motoring bible, AUTOSPRINT magazine.\nAs the 1974 World Sportscar Championship continued, Merzario shared driving duties of 008 with other legends, including Jacky Ickx, Vittorio Brambilla and Brian Redman. Chassis 008 continued to compete for the Alfa Romeo Works team at the Nürburgring 1000 KM, Imola 1000 KM, Zeltweg 1000 KM, Watkins Glen 1000 KM and the Watkins Glen Can-Am race. At Imola, the car sported a shorter tail for the generally slower yet higher downforce nature of the Italian circuit, but 008 always sported its bodywork in red with a large green rear wing and front splitter; apart from Watkins Glen, when the rear wing was also red.\nThe 1975 Season – Game, Set, Match!\nFor 1975, Alfa Romeo contracted the Willi Kauhsen Racing Team (W.K.R.T) to run the factory-supported race team. Throughout 1975, chassis 008 continuously impressed, with its results ensuring Alfa Romeo won the 1975 World Championship for Makes! This chassis alone won four of the nine Championship races, whilst also claiming one further important victory, the 1975 Targa Florio! As per the 1974 season, chassis 008 was always assigned to Arturo Merzario, with the co-driver rotating between Jacky Ickx, Jochen Mass, Jacques Laffite, Nino Vaccarella and Vittorio Brambilla.\nNineteen seventy-five marked the 23rd season of the FIA World Sports Car Championship, the highest level of sportscar racing in the world. Competing manufacturers included Porsche, Ferrari, Lola, Mirage, Alpine-Renault, Chevron and March, but Alfa Romeo was the clear favourite with this Tipo 33 TT 12 beast!\nAlfa Romeo chose not to compete at the opening round of the Championship, the Daytona 24 Hours, instead sending chassis 008 to the second round at Mugello, Italy. Partnering Merzario was sportscar racing legend Jacky Ickx, with the pair qualifying on pole position with race number 1. After 150 laps of the Autodromo del Mugello circuit, Merzario and Ickx crossed the line in 2nd.\nRound three of the 1975 Championship was the 1000 KM of Dijon, France. Now wearing race number 2, chassis 008 was, as ever, driven by Merzario, but this time he was partnered with Frenchman Jacques Laffite. Yet another strong qualifying saw the pair line up 3rd on the grid, but the race went well, and overall victory was theirs! The next race saw the same driver line up take 008 back to Monza, the home of its debut event and race victory in 1974. Starting 2nd on the grid was promising and the pair delivered, crossing the line in 1st place, taking back-to-back Monza 1000 KM victories and 008’s second consecutive victory of the 1975 Championship!\nMay saw Ickx once again partner with Merzario in 008 for the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 KM, now wearing race number 1. The sister Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12, driven by Henri Pescarolo and Derek Bell, stole pole position, with the drivers maintaining position throughout the race, seeing chassis 008 cross the line in 2nd place, continuing its 100% podium finish record for the 1975 season!\nThe Coppa Florio, held at the Autodromo di Pergusa, Enna, Italy, was round six of the 1975 Championship, and saw Jochen Mass join Merzario and 008. Again, Alfa Romeo dominated, with 008 claiming pole position, and chassis 010 lined up 2nd, over two seconds clear of the 3rd-place Porsche 908/3! Once again, 008 held position in the race, crossing the line to take its third race victory from five events — a truly remarkable season, but it wasn’t over yet!\nJune 1975 saw the travelling circus of the World Sportscar Championship arrive at the fearsome Nürburgring in Germany for round seven, the International ADAC 1000 KM! Again wearing race number 1, 008 and Merzario were joined by Jacques Laffite and claimed pole position around the fearsome 22-kilometre circuit! The race started at 10:30 on 1 June, with 60,000 spectators and 59 starters. Forty-four laps and 5 hours 41 minutes later, this Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12 crossed the line to take victory at the 1975 Nürburgring 1000 KM!\nThe season continued, and four weeks later, the 1000 KM Zeltweg was held at the Österreichring in Austria, round eight of the 1975 FIA Championship. Vittorio Brambilla, March Formula One driver, partnered with Merzario, and the pair qualified chassis 008 in 2nd place. After 103 laps, Merzario and Brambilla finished the race in 2nd place, following by the sister TT 12 of Derek Bell and Henri Pescarolo. As was common in 1975, another dominant display by the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12s!\nThe 1975 FIA World Sportscar Championship finished in the United States of America at the Watkins Glen circuit with a six-hour endurance race. Although there was no official drivers’ champion for the 1975 season (this was a Manufacturers’ Championship), Merzario would have been crowned champion, having dominated the season! For this final round in the USA, Merzario was joined once again by Mario Andretti, with the pair qualifying 4th on the grid. Twenty-nine starters lined up in front of 50,000 spectators to compete for victory in the final round of the 1975 season; however, it was yet another hugely dominant display of Alfa Romeos, with the marque taking both 1st and 2nd! After 152 laps and over six hours of competition, Merzario and Andretti crossed the line 2nd, less than 20 seconds behind the sister car of Bell and Pescarolo, but over three laps clear of the 3rd-place finisher, the Renault-Alpine of Larrousse and Jarier!\nThe 1975 FIA World Sportscar Championship was dominated by Alfa Romeo, who claimed victory in seven of the nine rounds. This car, chassis 008, claimed four victories and four 2nd places, making it the undoubted star of the 1975 Alfa Romeo squad, with a 100% finishing record and placing never lower than 2nd overall!\nThe 1975 Targa Florio\nAlthough the 1975 World Championship had been won, chassis 008 had not finished competing. There was one event left, the 1975 Targa Florio, held over eight laps of the 72-kilometre Piccolo Circuito della Madonie in Italy. Here, Merzario shared driving duties with fellow Italian Nino Vaccarella, with the pair claiming pole position and setting a time of 36 minutes 7 seconds — a colossal 52 seconds faster than the 2nd-place car.\nUnlike any other event in the 1970s, the Targa Florio was an open road endurance race, held on closed public roads around the mountains of Sicily, near the island’s capital of Palermo. This was the ultimate open road endurance race of the era, with both drivers, Merzario and Vaccarella, previous winners!\nChassis 008, driven by Arturo Merzario and Nino Vaccarella, dominated, claiming pole position, the fastest lap and outright race victory!\nPost Factory Competition Life\nAfter victory at the 1975 Targa Florio, Alfa Romeo chose to retire chassis 008, although maintained ownership of the car until October 1984, at which point it was sold to Switzerland. Amazingly, a copy of this sales invoice is included in the car’s impressive history file, confirming the sale price as 65,000,000 Italian lire! Two-and-a-half years later, in May 1987, Matteo Carrabba of Turin bought the car for 85,000,000 Italian lire, again a copy of this sales invoice also accompanies 008 today.\nThe car remained in the ownership of Turinese collector Matteo Carrabba until Ian Donaldson stumbled across it in Italy in the late 1990s whilst inspecting a Ford Escort RS2000 rally car! At the time of discovery, the paintwork still showed signs of the original W.K.R.T (Willi Kauhsen Racing Team) decals, along with those of Alfa Romeo and Autodelta on the air intake!\nHaving been recommissioned and demonstrated at the Goodwood Festival of Speed several times in the hands of his sons, Mark and Andrew, Ian chose to retain ownership through until 2012, when it was bought by its current owner. During both its current and previous ownership, this 33 TT 12 has been fastidiously maintained and prepared by historic competition specialist and Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 expert Tim Samways Sporting & Historic Car Engineers Ltd.\nThrough sheer passion, dedication and knowledge, the current owner has built a sizeable collection of significant competition cars, including a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 ‘Daytona’ and 1972 Tipo 33 TT 3. In October 2017, these three famous cars returned to the Autodelta test track Centro Sperimentale Balocco in Italy. When you have three of the most important post-war Alfa Romeo competition cars and the Autodelta test track to yourself, you need to take some friends, and in this case, that meant Derek Bell, Arturo Merzario and Nanni Galli! Can you imagine being at the Autodelta test track with three of its most important creations and three of the most successful World Sportscar Championship drivers of their era? We think the pictures speak for themselves!\nThroughout his ownership, the current custodian has employed racing driver and coach Sam Hancock to share the driving duties, including appearing at the world-renowned Le Mans Classic. In 2017, Hancock was partnered with none other than five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell to race the car at the Dix Mille Tours at Paul Ricard. Chassis 008’s most recent competition outing was the 2018 Le Mans Classic, before which the crown wheel and pinion were rebuilt. Since then, it has been thoroughly inspected and maintained by Sporting & Historic Car Engineers, with copies of invoices contained within the car’s history file.\nBy now, you’re probably already on the phone and talking to us, but just in case you have no phone signal, here’s a gentle reminder: this is Alfa Romeo’s 3.0-litre, 12-cylinder, 48-valve leviathan. This car won its competition debut, going on to score a staggering five outright victories in the World Sports Car Championship, including the Monza 1000 KM twice, the Nürburgring 1000 KM, and the Dijon 1000 KM! However, just in case being the car responsible for Alfa Romeo winning the 1975 World Sports Car Championship was not enough, this car also dominated the 1975 Targa Florio, with the fastest lap and outright victory!\nA six-time race winner, driven by the greatest sports car drivers and built by one of the most celebrated and admired marques, this car is simply unrepeatable.\nModern photography courtesy of Tim Scott / Fluid Images\nPrice Upon Request\nWant more details on this car?\nOur passion, knowledge and expertise gained from over 40 years of experience offers you a subjective opinion when considering either the sale, or purchase of a car potentially costing millions of pounds.\nWe are a dynamic, young, friendly team, focused on ensuring our clients always receive the unrivalled service they have come accustomed to from the Girardo & Co. team.Consign your", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

It is applicable to servo system, spindle drive, lifting platform, machine tool drive and gearbox motor. Compact, no backlash, 3 different hardness elastomers are provided, which can absorb vibration and compensate radial and angular deviation. It is mainly suitable for working places with frequent starting, CHINAMFG and reverse rotation, medium high speed, medium torque and high reliability.\n|Type||Torque Tn (N.m)||Max Speed [n] (r/min)||Shaft hole DIA di dz||Hole Length L||D||D:||Dz||E||S|\n1. Elastic plum-shaped flexible coupling.\n2. During transmission, it can realize zero backlash torque transmission torque under low torque state.\n3.

Plum CHINAMFG elastomer can resist oil and electrical insulation, operating temperature: -20ºC~80ºC.\n5. Excellent elastic effect to absorb vibration, eccentricity and deflection.\n6. If there are multiple deviations, the allowable value of a single deviation will be reduced.\nFactors to Consider When Choosing a Jaw Coupling for a Specific System\nChoosing the right jaw coupling for a specific system is crucial to ensure efficient power transmission and reliable operation. Several factors should be considered when making the selection:\n- Torque and Power Requirements: Calculate the torque and power requirements of the system to determine the appropriate size of the jaw coupling. Ensure that the selected coupling can handle the maximum torque and power output without exceeding its rated capacity.\n- Shaft Size: Match the jaw coupling’s bore size to the shaft diameters of the connected equipment. The coupling’s bore should be slightly larger than the shaft diameter to allow for easy installation and proper clamping.\n- Misalignment Compensation: Evaluate the degree of misalignment that the system may experience during operation. Jaw couplings can handle angular, parallel, and axial misalignment to varying degrees, but it’s essential to choose a coupling with the appropriate misalignment capabilities for the specific application.\n- Operating Speed: Consider the operating speed of the system. Some jaw couplings are designed for high-speed applications, while others are more suitable for lower speeds. Choosing a coupling that matches the system’s operating speed helps prevent issues such as resonance and premature wear.\n- Environmental Conditions: Assess the environmental conditions in which the coupling will operate. Factors such as temperature, moisture, and exposure to chemicals can influence the choice of material for the jaw coupling.\n- Backlash: Determine if the application requires minimal or zero backlash. Some jaw couplings may have inherent backlash due to their design, while others are designed to provide backlash-free operation.\n- Installation and Maintenance: Consider the ease of installation and maintenance of the jaw coupling. Some couplings may have a split design, making installation and replacement simpler.\n- Cost and Budget: Compare the cost of the jaw coupling with the system’s budget. While it’s essential to select a high-quality coupling, it’s also crucial to ensure it fits within the budget constraints.\nBy carefully evaluating these factors, engineers and designers can make an informed decision when choosing a jaw coupling that meets the specific requirements of the system, leading to optimal performance and longevity of the mechanical system.\nHow does a jaw coupling help in torque and rotational speed control?\nA jaw coupling plays a vital role in torque and rotational speed control by facilitating efficient power transmission while compensating for misalignments and dampening vibrations. Here’s how a jaw coupling helps in achieving torque and rotational speed control:\n- Torque Transmission: Jaw couplings are designed to transmit torque between two shafts with minimal power loss. The elastomer spider, which acts as the flexible element between the two coupling hubs, efficiently transfers torque from one shaft to the other. This precise torque transmission is essential in maintaining consistent rotational motion and controlling the speed of the driven equipment.\n- Misalignment Compensation: In rotating machinery, misalignments between the motor and driven equipment are common due to factors like installation errors, thermal expansion, or shaft deflection. Jaw couplings can handle both angular and parallel misalignments. By accommodating these misalignments, jaw couplings ensure smooth operation and prevent unnecessary stress on the equipment, thus contributing to torque and rotational speed control.\n- Vibration Damping: Vibrations are an inherent characteristic of rotating machinery and can affect torque and rotational speed stability. The elastomer spider in the jaw coupling acts as a damping element, absorbing and dissipating vibrations. This vibration damping capability reduces the risk of speed fluctuations and enhances overall system stability during operation.\n- Start-Up and Overload Protection: During start-up or when the driven equipment experiences sudden overload conditions, there may be spikes in torque and rotational speed. Jaw couplings, with their torsional flexibility, can absorb these sudden torque variations, protecting the equipment from damage and providing smoother start-up and operation.\nThe combination of precise torque transmission, misalignment compensation, vibration damping, and overload protection makes jaw couplings effective in achieving torque and rotational speed control. However, it is essential to choose the appropriate jaw coupling size and material for the specific application to ensure optimal performance and reliability.\nFor applications that require even higher torque capacity or stricter speed control, specialized coupling types like gear couplings or servo couplings may be more suitable. These couplings offer advanced features for precision motion control and torque transmission in more demanding applications.\nMaterials Used in Manufacturing Jaw Couplings\nJaw couplings are commonly made from various materials, each offering different properties and suitability for specific applications. Some of the commonly used materials include:\n- Polyurethane (PU): PU jaw couplings are known for their flexibility, high elasticity, and resistance to abrasion. They are ideal for applications requiring vibration dampening and shock absorption.\n- Aluminum: Aluminum jaw couplings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have good thermal conductivity. They are commonly used in low-to-medium torque applications.\n- Steel: Steel jaw couplings offer high strength and durability, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications with high torque requirements.\n- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel jaw couplings are resistant to corrosion and are often used in applications where there is exposure to moisture, chemicals, or harsh environments.\n- Bronze: Bronze jaw couplings are known for their excellent wear resistance and low coefficient of friction, making them suitable for applications with high-speed and low lubrication.\n- Acetal: Acetal jaw couplings provide good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption, making them suitable for applications where chemical exposure is a concern.\n- Nylon: Nylon jaw couplings offer good strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear and chemicals, making them suitable for various industrial applications.\nThe choice of material depends on factors such as torque requirements, environmental conditions, operating speeds, and budget considerations. Engineers and designers select the appropriate material to ensure that the jaw coupling can perform optimally and withstand the demands of the application.\neditor by CX 2023-09-28", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Pump stations can vary greatly in size and complexity from serving single neighborhoods to entire Cities, pumping millions of gallons of effluent every day.\nThe origins of pump stations can be traced back to the ancient Romans, but the principles remain the same. Wastewater and sewage is collected at a low point in an underground sump or pit. One pump (or more)then operates to move the sewage up and out of the sump and into a pressurized pipeline, also known as a force main. The wastewater is then transported to a gravity main and onwards to a treatment plant.\nThe size and complexity of the pump station will rely on several important factors, including the calculated flow rate, distance and elevation to the receiving outfall as well as the types of pumps and equipment that are required by the local jurisdiction. Additionally, pump stations must be designed with safety factors that take into account maintenance access, equipment failure and power outages.\nPEC+ is equipped to help you determine the necessity and potential value of incorporating a pump station into the design of your new development.

The innovation brought together high-quality membrane, durable modular parts, and anaerobic bio-digesters that transformed animal waste into renewable energy (bio-gas) and organic fertilizer.\nSistems Biobolsa addressed several challenges that small and marginal farmers in Mexico and across the world faced – low yielding land due to excess use of chemical fertilizers, lack of organic fertilizers, unviable waste disposal methods and limited access to energy. Sistema Biobolsa converted organic waste into organic fertilizer and renewable energy. With investment of US$ 600, a farmer with two cows could save upto US$ 40 per month in the cost of fuel and fertilizers. The Biogas produced was environmentally friendly. It reduced methane emissions, utilized the waste, reduced deforestation, protected the soil and also improved the quality of farmers’ lives. Sistema Biobolsa addressed issues like poverty, food security, and climate change and provided sustainable and productive solutions to small farmers.\nTo cater to the needs of different farmers, bio-digesters were available in several sizes and could be installed within a day. Farmers could start using the system after the first month of installation. The company provided loans and technical support to farmers for installation of the system.\nEaton expanded Sistema Biobolsa to Kenya, Colombia, Nicaragua and India. Still there were many issues that Eaton needed to address. He needed to improve distribution to reach out to more than 4 million small farmers in Mexico.

They built ‘twin sisters’ named Spirit and Opportunity under a stressful timeline dictated by Mars’s orbit and launched them in 2003. Against all odds, both landed safely on opposite sides of the planet, each expected to have a 90 day life-cycle. Fifteen years later, the team had to tearfully tell their old friend, “Good Night Oppy.”\nLaura's Review: B+\nCowriter (with editor Helen Kearns)/director Ryan White (\"Good Ol' Freda\") has fashioned an emotional tribute to the engineers and scientists who accomplished an incredible Mars mission, becoming a family in the process. It’s not just the filmmakers, but the technical team they’re documenting, responsible for the anthropomorphization of the Mars Rovers 'twin sisters' Spirit and Opportunity, both seemingly designed to resemble Pixar's WALL-E, but by the time the documentary has ended you, too, will feel like you’ve lost a little buddy.\nWhite mainly shuttles from a round robin of mission folks including Jet Propulsion Labs' Mission Manager Jennifer Trosper, Lead Systems Engineer Rob Manning, Principal Scientist Steve Souyres, two Rover ‘drivers,’ and two female teens inspired by the project who become part of the team to photo-realistic animation of the Rovers on their journeys by Industrial Light & Magic with Angela Bassett’s narration connecting the various perspectives. He packs an enormous amount of information into his 105 minute running time without ever forgetting to entertain with little tidbits like Oppy’s autonomous system needing to be reassured she may proceed after becoming alarmed by her own shadow.\nThe film that grabs us from the onset with the sight of Oppy trundling along Mars’ surface to her wake-up song, the B-52's 'Roam,' also informs us that because a day on Mars, called a SOL, is 40 minutes longer than a day on Earth, the daily meeting scheduled for noon on one week shifts to midnight over time, the team having to work on another planet’s schedule suffering the equivalent of jet lag. They hit many obstacles along the way, the first being Spirit’s wonky behavior after hitting a rock, causing the Rover to continually crash and reboot, draining her solar power. The team ‘puts her to sleep,’ praying she will boot up correctly and having to wait for her hoped for transmissions to reach them (her chosen wake-up song is Abba’s ‘SOS’). When her front wheel breaks, someone’s description of the problem as being like one of those disabled shopping carts leads to the solution of driving her backwards. Oppy gets stuck literally spinning her wheels, so the team recreates conditions back on Earth to figure out how to get the tractionless wheels out of the jam.\nThe Rovers’ longevity is aided by an unexpected source – the ferocious dust devils which clean the surface of their solar panels – and although Spirit gives up the ghost in 2011, Oppy keeps on going, traveling farther and farther to the craters where bedrock provides ‘geological truths.’ It is on SOL 3300, 9 years after landing, that Oppy, suffering from ‘arthritis’ and ‘memory loss,’ finds the clay providing evidence of life-sustaining water.\nWith the plucky little Rover about to hit SOL 5000, her 14th year exploring Mars, the scientific team honors the engineering team’s odd request, programming Oppy to take a ‘selfie’ with a partially disabled arm – it’s a moving moment, the team able to see the Rover for the first time since 2003. Souyres is called upon to pick his first wake-up call and Oppy’s last with Billie Holliday's 'I'll Be Seeing You.' It’s a melancholy scene, but White ends on an upbeat note, the 2020 launch of a new Rover, Perseverance.\nRobin's Review: B+\nIn January 2004, the Mars Exploration Rover mission landed two vehicles, Spirit and Opportunity, on opposite sides of the Red Planet. The dual mission was scheduled to last for just 90 days of operation before the ‘bots ran down - but one continued to explore and gather and broadcast data to earth for 15 YEARS before we said “Good Night Oppy.”\nDocumentary filmmaker Ryan White and his team (which includes Angela Bassett as the film’s narrator) tell the life story of the little robot that could – and did so for 60 times its original expected life span. (Oppy’s sister ‘bot, Spirit, lasted for eight years – no slouch, she.)\nI say “life story” because the filmmakers treat the title subject, and do an excellent job of it, as the life of a human being. We see the project’s conception, starting with a blank white board. From there we watch as our little robots develop (gestate?), with Spirit the test ‘bot and Oppy the beneficiary of her trial and error. We move on to the launch (birth) to Mars, the landing and the parallel missions where the ‘bots grow and mature. Finally, as they reach the end of the mission, old age (arthritis and memory loss) takes hold. I invested in these little robots’ lives, especially Oppy, and did not want to see them go.\nWe watch the “parents” of Oppy and Spirit – the teams who saw them through their lives - as they, too, grow and change. Those teenagers who watched and were inspired by the Mars Rover project launch became the mission specialists who oversaw Oppy and Spirit’s long and illustrious lives. They invested their lives into the lives of their robotic explorers and the joy in their “job” is palpable, with every success and failure.\nI have been a big fan of man going off to space since I was a kid reading Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. So, “Good Night Oppy” is a no brainer to me, the fan. But, I was not prepared for the emotions the filmmakers got out of me watching the life story of the little robot that could.\nAmazon Studios releases \"Good Night Oppy\" in theaters on 11/4/22 and on Prime on 11/23/22.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

During extensive field testing with producers across the U.S., the program optimized mix designs used in over 2 million cubic yards of concrete. The average material savings were $5.04/yard, and the average carbon reduction was 30 percent. The positive trending metrics were typically observed within a month of Concrete Copilot deployment.\nConcrete Copilot equips producers to compare the likely results of mix designs selected on traditional criteria versus artificial intelligence-powered methods.\nThe program first integrates with a producer’s present and historical mix data. Producers can select optimization criteria based on their specific objectives. Concrete Copilot then creates millions of mix designs in seconds and presents the optimal one to the user to approve or modify based on their judgment and experience—streamlining to minutes a process previously entailing months. The platform uses data on materials in a current supply chain; when there are shifts in a material’s availability or cost, producers can rapidly create new mix designs. Concrete Copilot also allows for quick evaluation of the sustainable concrete mix materials entering the market each year, helping them to enter commercial production quickly for an immediate environmental impact.\n“I’ve spent 26 years working in the construction and ready mix industries and personally know the challenges concrete producers have to overcome to find the most economically viable mix designs,” says Concrete.ai CEO Alex Hall. “We built Concrete Copilot so producers don’t have to choose between cutting cost and carbon. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the annual global carbon footprint of concrete by ~500 million tons just by optimizing concrete mixes with materials already in supply chains.”\n“Integrating Concrete Copilot into our existing software was a quick and smooth process. Using our own data and local materials, the tool efficiently streamlined our mix design process, allowing us to maximize materials cost savings and deploy the optimized mix designs into production faster,” adds Chris Rapp, vice president and general manager of Illinois-based VCNA Prairie Materials. “This resulted in significant reductions in cost and carbon footprint.”", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The objective of this proposal is to develop an unmanned helicopter (about 150 kg weight) along with a mobile landing platform for refueling purposes.\nAutonomous takeoff and landing of UAVs requires a precise estimation of the pose (x, y, z, roll, pitch and yaw) relative to landing marker or landing site that cannot typically be accomplished with satellite-based navigation systems at the precision and framerate required by flight control systems (typically equal or greater than 50 Hz). During unmanned flight, and especially during landing procedure, the aircraft must have the capability to make split-second decisions based on the current state of the system. Visual sensors can be successfully used during the landing process since they are able to provide the pose with an accuracy typically greater than GPS, sufficient to complete the autonomous landing task. However, vision data provide a considerable amount of information that must be processed in real time in order to be effective. Because of the need to provide a high-frequency pose estimation for precise localization and control performance especially during takeoff and landing, in this project we explored the use of parallel computing on CPU/GPU for the development of pose estimation algorithms using vision data as aiding sensor. We started with the analysis of the state of art concerning the autonomous landing. We found that only few researches exploit the GPU for on-board image processing, and all of them don’t provide a full pose estimation or exploits high-definition images. The other solutions are based on CPUs or relies on Ground Control Station for image elaboration. In addition, none of them allowed on-board high position estimation rate with high definition of images. To overcome the limitation of the state of art, we designed a system for pose estimation based on a fiducial marker and an embedded CPU/GPU board. The software is based on parallel computing approach exploiting the high-parallelism of GPUs. We tested the accuracy, reliability of our system through several on-lab and on-field experiments. We then integrated our system with commercially available autopilot, to effectively perform autonomous landing in GPS-denied environments. I found that, thanks to the high parallelism of the GPU, the developed algorithm is able to detect the landing pad and provide a pose estimation with a minimum framerate greater than 30fps, regardless the complexity of the image to be processed. The possibility to estimate the pose with a frame rate greater than 30fps allows a smooth and reactive control of the UAV, enabling the possibility to land the UAV precisely. In particular, the obtained results show that our algorithm is able to provide pose estimation with a minimum framerate of 30 fps and an image dimension of 640x480 pixels, allowing the detection of the landing pad even from several meters of distance.\nFurthermore, the use of a GPU/CPU embedded board allows the UAV to process the video on-board in real time. This avoids the necessity of a powerful ground control station for image processing that would inevitably increase the delay between the acquisition of the image and the use of the elaborated data from the image.\nThe aircraft would be able to operate with both electric and fuel engines. The instrument will be composed of two tightly coupled components:\n- Novel light-weight unmanned helicopter (<150 Kg), and,\n- General purpose landing platform that will also serve as a refueling/recharging station and data relay/repository.\nThe funding has been granted to the Unmanned System Research Institute at the University of Denver, where I've worked as Research Scientist. My research was focused on the development of a vision-based sensor for pose estimation (6 degrees of freedom), using the high-parallelism of GPU for image elaboration and a fiducial marker. The developed system is able to provide pose estimation at 45 frames per seconds with an image resolution of 640x480 pixels.\nThe sensor has been tested for autonomous landing in indoor/outdoor environments using a custom quadrotor.\nThe hardware architecture of the sensor is composed essentially of commercially available boards (Jetson TK1, Pixhawk autopilot) and some custom 3D-printed plastic supports (anti-vibration system for camera, Pixhawk support).\nThe software is composed by two modules:\n- Pose estimation algorithm: This module runs on the Jetson TK1 and estimates the 6 degrees of freedom of the UAV. The pose data is then sent to a dedicated UART using the JSON format.\n- Pixhawk interface: This module, running on the PixHawk autopilot, decodes the pose estimation message received from the Jetson TK1 and generates the corresponding control actions for the position controller.\nThe source code of the Pixhawk interface is available online at the following link: https://github.com/alessandro-benini/ardupilot/tree/vision_landing.\nThe current version of the sensor is designed to be mounted on various VTOL UAVs with minimum effort, like multirotors and traditional helicopters, and is currently part of two patent applications:\n- A. Benini, M. J. Rutherford, K. P. Valavanis - Image Processing for Pose Estimation.\n- A. Benini, M. J. Rutherford, K. P. Valavanis - Design for a Visual Landing Target.\nBelow the pose estimation sensor is mounted on different VTOL UAVs. The traditional helicopter is equipped with a high-accuracy IMU and RTK GPS, in addition to the pose estimation sensor.\nFollowing, a video of a quadrotor using the first version of this system performing indoor autonomous landing.\nLink to the Project Website: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1229236", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

In addition to exhibiting some of the original material, I fabricated a large-scale wooden replicate for attendees to try themselves. This work was also published in the CHI'15 workshop \"Investigating the Challenges of Making Data Physical\".\nManipulating the data\nEach row or column is mobile and can slide on the steel rods.\nI built this matrix in the Fablab Digiscope. All the prototypes were fabricated using standard Fablab equipment, including an Epilog Mini laser cutter. Overall, the matrix consists of 569 dominos, requiring assembling 4414 wooden parts laser cut from 2.16m2/23.25sqft of plywood. Cutting the wooden pieces took approximately 15 hours and assembling them more than 50 hours. Its cost was approximately 20 Euros for the wood and 100 Euros for the rods. Using magnets makes the matrix become much more expensive. Here are the files to build, reproduce, or modify such a matrix:\n- The 3d model of the dominos\n- The .ai file containing the cut scheme to create plywood dominos\n- The .pdf file containing the cut scheme to create plywood dominos\nThe wooden matrix was built by first loading the data into the Bertifier software and exporting a 2D matrix visualization in SVG. The SVG file was turned into a digital fabrication design file. Sheets of plywood were laser-cut, laser-engraved and manually assembled. Steel rods were bought in a DYI store and cut. The resulting matrix is a simplified version of the original, but also features a few innovations, such as the use of a magnet mechanism to switch encodings. Each domino is made out of plywood and laser engraved for clear and crisp inscriptions.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This patented technology is exclusive to Thursday Pools® you will not see this from any other fiberglass pool manufacture. Let discuss why this technology is unprecedented. As rumor has it many non fiberglass installers will try and say that fiberglass pools will just “pop” out of the ground. We have heard this statement more times then we can remember but the facts are pretty simple.\nTo properly address this statement there has to be some context along with it. These are scientific facts and not salesman propaganda, lets paint the picture. Water weights roughly 8 lbs a gallon so a pool with a water volume of 15,000 gallons has a force holding it down of 120,000 lbs (15,000 x 8lbs). Concrete weights roughly 3,900 lbs per yard (since pool deck size is variable let just use the concrete collar around the lip roughly 3 yards equaling 11,700 lbs). In normal conditions the water table would be lower then the bottom of the pool, there would be no rain thus meaning no water around the pool. Then in fact there is 120,000 lbs of water weight, 3,800 lbs from the pool shell itself, and 11,700 lbs of concrete holding the pool into the ground. Good luck getting this to simply “pop” out. Now lets add a situation of a high water table and heavy rain equaling the amount of water around the pool compared to the volume in it. This would neutralize the condition and with the force of the concrete on the pool lip it will simply stay in place.\nNow the rumor it will just “pop” out of the ground. If the high water level conditions exist and you drain the pool the pressure underneath will have to go somewhere. Most likely break the pool bottom or if the pool is strong enough to take it, the pool will rise. Oh and not just fiberglass pools, gunite pools will do this as well. We have NEVER seen a fiberglass pool “pop” out of the ground personally. Not that it can’t happen we have just never seen it.\nThere are measures in place to neutralize the pressure called hydro static valves. Simply put it is a basic spring valve that will open if the water pressure below the pool exceeds the pressure above it. Therefore letting the water neutralize on its own and keep the pool in place. Many builders have used these valves for vinyl and gunite pools for decades in turn reducing the possibility of these disasters. With different main drains used on a fiberglass pools you cannot simply use this device, until now.\nWith the Fiberglass Pool Anchoring System™ By Thursday Pools® it utilizes a Geo-Hydro Valve™ and Geo-Anchor Pool Wall™ that keeps the fiberglass pool in place when draining. Keep in mind before you drain the pool you must contact Thursday Pools® to review draining procedures. Now we can put the rumor to rest, there is a fiberglass pool you can drain without voiding warranty. With both parts of this system it gives you complete control and even more peace of mind for years to come!", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Even after everything has been removed, that stump is still going to be in the ground. As a result of this, you will need to find a way to remove this and this can be very problematic. You will need to get a stump grinder that can help you remove the stump very quickly, and here is how you can find some of the best ones available.\nWhat Is A Stump Grinder?\nA stump grinder is a tool that you can use that has rotating discs. They can be the size of a lawnmower, or even a large truck. Their goal is to chip away at the stump, making it grind down to the ground level. They will use fixed carbide teeth on the cutter wheel. Everything is powered by a motor that uses hydraulic power. You will be able to raise and lower it’s similar to how you would use a bandsaw. To find a stump grinder that will be large enough to handle your stump, you need to start searching for one on the web, perhaps as a rental.\nDifferent Types Of Stump Grinders\nthere are a couple different types that you can use. First of all, there are the ones that will grind from the top. These are called vertical stump grinders. These can be attached to larger machines such as excavators or tractors. These are simply placed over the top of the stump, and it will begin to grind it down. There are some that are so powerful that they can take out over a meter of stump in less than 30 seconds. These are very powerful, but most people will not need to use something so large.\nHow To Use One Properly\nIf you want to use one of these on your own, there are only a few rules that you have to follow. First of all, you need to understand how to raise and lower the grinder itself. There will be a safety where you need to know where this is. The safety will allow you to protect yourself while it is running. Once you are ready to use it, you can take the safety off, and begin to grind by pushing down on the top. This will enable you to remove bits and pieces of the stump until it eventually is all gone.\nAlternatives To Stump Grinders\nThere are other alternatives that you may consider including using potassium nitrate which can cause it to decompose more quickly. The other possibility is that you can use a chainsaw after digging up the dirt around the stump. This will help you cut away at the roots, making it easier to pull out. Finally, you will be able to use some type of pulley on the front of your truck that can pull it out of the ground. These are just other options to consider, but if you can find a stump grinder that can remove it within a few minutes, that would certainly be your best option.\nSome grinders can be dangerous, but by using these tips, it should be very easy to get rid of the ones that you have. You should contact a professional if possible so they can do this for you. This will enable you to save time, and also have the job done properly. There are some people that simply prefer to do things on their own, and you now know how this can be done.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The history of the Canal is well known, a great source is Pathway Between the Seas by David McCullough. The Canal opened in 1914 and over a million ships have made the transit cutting off almost 8,000 miles from the around South America option. In 2016 a new parallel canal was opened with much bigger locks allowing the modern day large container (and cruise) ships to make the passage. Island Princess can fit in the original Canal, so we had a more interesting journey. The 51 mile transit between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean required the use of three sets of locks (Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Miraflores) to raise the ship 85 feet into Gatun Lake and lower it back down to enter the Pacific.\nThis is a century-old engineering marvel to observe. The building of the massive locks is one thing, but to see what the workers had to do to cut through mountains and granite to open a path to the man-made Gatun Lake and then the Gaillard Cut to complete the path from the lake to the Pacific is even more impressive.\nIn each lock, the ship was cable tied to small electric locomotives (called mules) on each side and guided in. The six foot wide gates were shut, and fresh water was either flooded in or drained out to change the elevation. Once the water level was equal, the gates opened, and the mules helped the ship exit. Each lock allows two way traffic, so we could see a reverse process ongoing right next to us.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Besides your budget, there are a number of things to consider before leaping into the world of computerized machine embroidery.\nBusiness or Personal\nThe intended use of the machine will guide you in selecting a machine. If you are planning to start a business or expand your business into embroidery, then you need to purchase a commercial or industrial embroidery machine. If you plan to embellish items for personal use and perhaps as gifts, then a consumer grade machine is likely sufficient; however there are some great cross-over machines that work well in both arenas.\nConsumer grade embroidery machines may be a small dedicated embroidery machine or a combination sewing machine with embroidery capabilities. Typically these are single needle, flat-bed machines that are relatively inexpensive.\nThese machines often have small embroidery areas and lack an automatic thread trimmer. They may stitch slowly and the flat bed presents limitations to what products can be embroidered.\nConsumer embroidery machines are designed to reduce operator mistakes. These machines know what size hoop is installed and will not allow a larger or inappropriately positioned design to stitch. Some commercial machines will have this capability, while Industrial machines usually do not.\nLighter in durability than industrial machines, but better than consumer embroidery machines are the commercial, or cross-over, embroidery machines. These machines are usually multi-needle and may be flatbed or free arm, with a larger stitch area. Commercial embroidery machines are also faster than consumer models and will feature a thread trimmer.\nThe most expensive, big and heavy embroidery machines are for industrial use. These machines are more durable and usually multi-head, multi-needle and like commercial machines are either flatbed or free arm.\nIndustrial machines stitch about as fast, to slightly faster, than commercial embroidery machines and may offer a slightly larger stitch area.\nOn multiple head machines the pantograph for all heads is tied together, resulting in the same design being stitched on all heads, simultaneously.\nLower-end consumer and commercial embroidery machines only have one needle. These are the least expensive, but most time consuming machines. With each change of color in a design, the machine will stop so that the operator can remove the current color thread and then feed the machine with the next color thread. Even the most proficient operator loses time with this process – and the machine is doing nothing while it waits.\nA Multi-needle machine allows the thread colors to be preloaded with the design colors. The embroidery machine will stitch out the design automatically changing between each needle as appropriate for the design colors. The machine requires less operator time and resumes stitching quickly after changing color needles.\nHigher-end single needle machines will have an automatic thread cutter to reduce operator efforts. Provided the machine automatically cuts them, the thread cutter eliminates the need to trim jump stitches in designs.\nMulti-needle machines will have an automatic thread cutter – without it serious mechanical issues will occur due to thread tangling and interference.\nThe stitching area of an embroidery machine is the space which a machine is capable of applying thread to stitch-out the design. Typically, the hoops and stitch areas are measured in millimeters. There are 25.4 millimeters in one inch. People that have difficulty with the metric system like to simplify the math and count 25 millimeters as one inch. This behavior leads to some confusion, since stitch areas are usually easy, rounded metric measurements, like 100mm (3.93″) and 250mm (9.84″); people call them four-inch and ten-inch respectively, but incorrectly.\nThe physical size of hoops will be larger than the stitch area to ensure there is adequate space for the machines mechanisms, like the presser foot, to clear the hoop.\nConsider the materials you intend to stitch on to – when stitching onto a small product, you need the ability to use the smallest hoop possible to ensure a quality stitch-out; however, you may need to embroidery larger spaces also – for them you need larger hoops and stitch area. You need to make sure that your machine has stitch area capabilities that you need and comes with the appropriate hoops. It helps to have two hoops of each size per machine head.\nBear in mind that most Industrial embroidery machines and some commercial machines do not monitor the size of the hoop installed. Using an incorrect sized hoop can damage a machine if the design is too large.\nMost modern embroidery machines have color or black-and-white touch-screen user interfaces that make operating the machine substantially easier. These machines can usually have designs loaded via USB cable or “thumb drive”. Machines that use proprietary design/memory cards are not common today, but they were very common in the early era of consumer embroidery.\nThere are still some machines on the market that require a computer (typically Microsoft Windows based PC) to run them, while a few others have a simple words and numbers only digital interface. These machines tend to require a Serial connection or USB connection to the computer. In some cases the computer can not be used during the stitch-out routine – a very important point in considering when buying an embroidery machine.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

There are few prosumer grinders that do this as well, or as consistently, as the Baratza Virtuoso+.\nThe secret to the Virtuoso’s consistent, smooth grind is two-fold: an efficient DC motor keeps your beans cool, even during extended grind times, while a combination of electric and gear speed reducers slow the conical burr to 450 RPM, ensuring a smooth bean feed and reducing noise, heat and static buildup.\nThe Virtuoso’s exterior is just as finely tuned as its interior — a convenient front-mounted pulse button allows for grinding directly into an espresso filter basket, while a 60-second timer means that it’s easy to replicate the ideal grind time.

By the end of January, structural steel framing and concrete masonry walls were completed, second floor wood framing members were installed, and exterior wall framing was well on its way.\nFebruary started off brutally cold, but that did not slow down progress. With the help of tenting and heaters, masons skillfully reconstructed a brick wall between the historic portion of the building and the new addition. This one rests on a proper new foundation.\nThis new wall extends the existing west brick wall from the original portion of the Brass Works building dating back to 1918. Repurposed bricks from the chimney and other original areas of the building were used to recreate a look like the weathered aesthetic of the 100-year-old remaining brick structure.\nFrom the exterior, it is easier than ever to see the final vision of the building as we get closer to the Brass Work project’s completion this summer. Inside, but not visible to pedestrians, a flurry of activity continues: mechanical ductwork, electrical conduit and plumbing work. Hoods and venting have been installed in the basement commercial kitchen area.\nIn the coming months work will continue to enclose the building. Vogel Bros. is targeting late July to complete the project and turn the building over to the Goodman Community Center.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image.\nThermal transfer printing is a related method that uses a heat-sensitive ribbon instead of heat-sensitive paper\nA thermal printer comprises these key components:\n• Thermal head : generates heat; prints on paper\n• Platen : a rubber roller that feeds paper\n• Spring : applies pressure to the thermal head, causing it to contact the thermosensitive paper\n• Controller boards : for controlling the mechanism\nIn order to print, thermo-sensitive paper is inserted between the thermal head and the platen. The printer sends an electrical current to the heating elements of the thermal head, which generate heat. The heat activates the thermo-sensitive coloring layer of the thermosensitive paper, which changes color where heated. Such a printing mechanism is known as a thermal system or direct system. The heating elements are usually arranged as a matrix of small closely spaced dots—thermal printers are actually dot-matrix printers, though they are not so called.\nThe paper is impregnated with a solid-state mixture of a dye and a suitable matrix; a combination of a fluoran leuco dye and an octadecylphosphonic acid is an example. When the matrix is heated above its melting point, the dye reacts with the acid, shifts to its colored form, and the changed form is then conserved in metastable state when the matrix solidifies back quickly enough. See thermochromism.\nController boards are embedded with firmware to manage the thermal printer mechanisms. The Firmware can manage multiple bar code types, graphics and logos. They enable the user to choose between different resident fonts (also including Asian fonts) and character sizes.\nController boards can drive various sensors such as paper low, paper out, door open, top of form etc., and they are available with a variety of interfaces, such as RS-232, parallel, USB and wireless. For point of sale application some boards can also control the cash drawer.\nThermal printer used in seafloor exploration\nThermal printers print more quietly and usually faster than impact dot matrix printers. They are also smaller, lighter and consume less power, making them ideal for portable and retail applications. Roll-based printers can be rapidly refilled. Commercial applications of thermal printers include filling station pumps, information kiosks, point of sale systems, voucher printers in slot machines, print on demand labels for shipping and products, and for recording live rhythm strips on hospital cardiac monitors.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

How that loving couple came to be; how a “car guy” can become utterly besotted with a machine that boils down to four wheels and an engine; and how Alfa Romeos are just so special.\nWe’ll, I recently got married to the most loving, special person I’ve had the privilege of knowing; became besotted with a vehicle that has four wheels and an engine; and well, you can probably guess where this is going…\nYou see, I was fortunate enough to be given the use of the Giulia QV spread over this page as our wedding car… Maybe it was the endorphin rush of the day and all but – and I can say this now because, well, the wedding can’t be called off anymore – I nearly eloped with the car that stole my heart.\nActually, now that I think about it, so did my better half – and most people who were able to take in the QV’s combination of gorgeous proportions, thuggish muscularity and purposeful carbon-fibre detailing. Where the BMW Ms, Mercedes AMGs and Audi RSs of the world have become invisible in their ubiquity, the QV gleans admiring glances from most and nods of approval by those who know their cars.\nYou’d probably wonder, though, while it looks all snazzy, why one would want a big-wheeled (they’re 19-inch, by the way), hard-riding sports saloon with firm, body-hugging, carbon-fibre backed sports seats with which to drive to their wedding-night destination? We’ll, this is where one of the QV’s biggest strengths comes to the fore – this is no one-trick pony.\nYou see, the QV has a few chassis and suspension tricks up its sleeve that allow it to vary its personality between razor sharp track weapon or comfortable, quiet, refined long-distance cruiser. The basic Giulia double-wishbone front and 4.5-link rear suspension is coupled with three-way adaptive suspension in the QV. You’re free to choose between All-Weather, Natural, Dynamic and Race modes via the DNA Pro rotary selector; so adapting the car’s character to your mood or environment.\nMoving through the various modes also adapts the engine response, exhaust note, gear-shift ferocity and steering feel to the various driving situations. And with a 375 kW/600 Nm turbocharged V6 of 2,9 litres, and an eight-speed automatic gearbox, at your disposal, there are not many driving situations the QV can’t handle. The drivetrain is that well tuned…\nThe marvellous engine offers an unrelenting power delivery and – especially in Race mode – makes what can only be described as very naughty noises. The gearbox shifts smoothly when driven gently or can slam home the next gear with race car-like efficiency when the accelerator is flat.\nAnd, as it should be in a car that can reach 100 km/h in 3,9 seconds and top out at 307 km/h, the QV also handles like a dream. The chassis is ideally balanced with a 50/50 weight split, and mechanical grip and traction are fantastically well tuned. Here, the bespoke Pirelli PZero Cosa AR tyres, as well as the QV’s Torque Vectoring and a front Active Aero Splitter, are also to thank.\nThe steering offers great feel when it counts – if it is a bit light. My only real gripe with the drive are the brakes, which – despite being strong when used aggressively – are either “on or off” and difficult to modulate.\nNonetheless, there was no one point in my – sorry our – time with the QV that it felt too hard, too soft, too wild or too boring. It is so competent, so well-rounded, so satisfying to drive hard, and so easy to live with day to day.\nIn this regard, the cabin is comfortable and lined with red-stitched leather and alcantara. Space is good all round and those optional Sparco sports seats are probably the best I’ve yet sampled in any car. You’ve got just about all the mod-cons too: an 8,8-inch Connect Nav infotainment system (that even warns you when you’re approaching a speed camera!); 900W, 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound; and a brace of driving-assist systems that includes Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Blind-Spot Monitoring and a rear parking camera.\nIn summary, then, the Giulia QV is a stunning all-round sports saloon; a powerful bruiser and surprisingly capable cruiser. It would have no problem going toe-to-toe with the finest from BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi.\nIt stole my heart but, thankfully, my marriage will survive – because from R1,4 million (although it has a three-year/100 000 km warranty and six-year/100 000 km maintenance plan) the Giulia QV is no cheap date. It is a helluva special one, though.\nCyberStoep rating: 9/10", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

However some important points to note are as follows.\nThere are fundamentally two types of solutions that one can try to achieve in CFD. These are: transient and steady-state solutions. Steady-state is the type most commonly practised (traditionally) in the building industry and can be thought of like a time-lapse photo of the flow field. Steady state solutions return a single result and are suitable for cases where the flow field is expected to be fairly “steady” or, in other words, not expected to change through time very much. The SIMPLE algorithm (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations) is redominantly used for achieving steady-state results. The alternative to steady-state solutions are transient solutions where results are returned at different points in time (like the frames of a video). Transient solutions obviously require much more storage memory (hard-drive space) to store all of the results at various times. This solution method is important to capture “unsteady” dynamics of the flow-field, that is, aspects of the flow field that are expected to change throughout time such as the creation and transport of eddies in the wake of a building or the unsteady dynamics of buoyant plumes. The PISO algorithm (Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operators) is predominantly used for achieving transient results.\nThe use of “incompressible” solvers is not a bad assumption in many cases. Considering the low flow velocity of many building-related flows then it is easy for one to imagine that flow does not compress much as it moves around or through a building.\nThe “mesh” of a CFD model is akin to pixel-resolution on a graphical render. However the mesh generally has a three-dimensional quality to it so that mesh “cells” can be thought of as\nvoxels as opposed to pixels. Achieving a high-quality mesh is a big part of CFD modelling and can be a specialised discipline unto itself. The quality of the mesh determines the accuracy of the solution, or sometimes, if a solution can be achieved at all! Without going into exhaustive detail here, the important things to remember are that the mesh should be finer (higher resolution) at points in the flow field where “interesting” stuff is expected to happen. “Interesting” in this case means where velocity (or thermal) gradients are expected to be high. This is, for example, near walls, particularly sharp corners or near objects of different temperature. For objects of different temperature it is often a good idea to add “layers” of very fine mesh-cells near the surface of the object to resolve the thermal dynamics near the surface of an object. This technique will be covered in a later tutorial.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Many Haitian orphans will get to live in the new dwelling, designed by RPI’s chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World.\nEngineering Solutions for Real Change\nThe collaborative project started when To Love a Child Nonprofit Organization contacted Engineers for a Sustainable World asking for help to build a better life for children and their families. To Love a Child is based in Clifton Park, NY. Engineers for a Sustainable World is a student-run organization at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The group is avid about using engineer solutions to help social, economic, environmental problems with sustainable solutions. It is pretty amazing that To Love a Child Organization reached out to the student group in their community for help.\nRecycled containers were an obvious solution to a sustainable, durable, and environmentally friendly building for the orphanage. Using storage containers is also cost effective. The project started out with a meager $100 budget, which grew to $10,000 after the student group worked hard at fundraising.\nEngineers for Sustainability\nEach student in RPI’s Engineers for a Sustainable World group put in more than 100 hours of work to design and build the orphanage. The orphanage buildings are thoroughly insulated to combat the hot Haitian weather. The student engineers used foam and plywood for installation. Reflective paint on the outer surface of the units further deflects the sun’s rays. There are fans and windows built into the housing. Large shade tarps fan out from the housing, which gives the Haitian children a cool area to play in.\nMajor Companies Helped in the Effort\nGeneral Electric supplied the Orphanage with solar panels on the roof. These panels generate some of the energy for the children living in the orphanage. The panels are another way that the student engineer group created a sustainable building. There is more benefit in using shipping units than just environmental: now the orphanage can be easily moved to another location if necessary. Many children in Haiti are benefiting from this ingenious work of bright young engineers.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Repeated disinfections by the client of the supply, calorifier and shower systems using chlorine, chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide with colloidal silver had no apparent effect.\nProgressive replacement of components starting with the shower head and hose before replacing the calorifier and pipework had no effect on the counts.

A clear, piston-fill, steel-nib demonstrator available for US$40, it was one of the best pens in its price range. It was also constructed to be completely user-serviceable – it came with instructions on disassembly and reassembly, along with a tub of silicone grease and a purpose-built wrench for removing the piston.\nI used my 530 extensively - it was a workhorse of a pen that I could have easily held onto for years. That is, until TWSBI came out with its successor, the Diamond 540. Despite being a well engineered pen that featured a great design, the 530 had two minor issues that kept it from being a classic: the threading on the cap was very tight – enough so that to remove and replace the cap took more effort than one would expect; the piston was likewise stiff, and would occasionally stick – I would worry that I was going to damage the mechanism when filling it with ink.\nI’m pleased to report that the 540 fixes both of those problems. The cap still feels secure on the pen, but it now twists on and off with ease. The piston was also fixed. Now it moves through its entire range of motion without issue. Additionally, they’ve increased the ink capacity of the pen to a notable degree. The pen almost holds a full 2 ml at capacity.\nThe steel EF nib is the same one that shipped with the 530 – in fact, the nib units are interchangeable and available from TWSBI separately. It’s a stiff nail, so there is neither flex nor spring, but it does write smoothly and reliably. It’s an easy starter, and can take being uncapped for a few minutes without much issue.\nWhile the price has gone up by $10 over the 530, it is still an excellent value at this price point. The only improvements I could suggest now would be a spring-loaded clip and the option for a gold nib - both things I would only expect on a pen costing twice as much.\nI can’t recommend the Diamond 540 enough. It’s one of the best values for its price, and nearly rivals pens costing more than twice as much.\nThe TWSBI Diamond 540 is available from:", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

That’s where Gage R&R studies come in. Nearly every manufacturing company is required to conduct these studies, the many benefits gleaned from which range from product acceptance measurements and reliable control charts to objective equipment selection criteria and identifying the need for operator training. More importantly, however, this single study may be the only chance to find measurement quality problems. Today’s software makes Gage R&R data entry and calculation easy, but learning to effectively interpret the results is imperative.\nThe method is to measure variables of production measuring processes. The primary variables are repeatability and reproducibility (R&R). The purpose is to confirm that variation is not excessive or to take action if the variation is found to be excessive. This is required for each production measuring process, but not for each gage – you might have 3,000 gages and only 200 production measuring processes.\nWho does it?\nChoose three people who do the measurements in production. These might be production people, quality inspectors or lab technicians, depending on the situation. (During the try-out phase of a new part, you may have to use substitutes for the people who will actually do the measurements in the future.)\nIt doesn’t matter who collects the data. A calibration technician would often be a good choice. He or she would serve as a resource to answer questions and would have access to Gage R&R Software.\nWhat do they have to know?\nThe people who do the measurement have to know how to measure, of course. They also need to take precautions to make sure they never know which part they are measuring. The parts have to be temporarily numbered in a way in which they can avoid knowing which number is being measured. Operators can often influence a gage to a considerable extent. Just knowing what to expect will tend to reduce the variation. This can happen even if an operator is consciously trying not to do so.\nSetting up the Study\nNormal sample sizes are 10 parts, 3 operators and 3 trials for a total of 90 measurements. Smaller sample sizes can be used if there is a reason. For example, you have only 8 parts and 2 operators or the trials are very expensive.\nCollecting the Data\nThe person collecting the data should present the parts in random order but record the measurements according to the temporary part number. In Figure 1, data for a typical Gage R&R study has been entered into GAGEtrak software.\nChoosing a Calculation Method\nThere are three ways to calculate Gage R&R results. The most familiar method is not the best. The familiar method is called “average and range,” or “long AIAG.” This method is intended for spreadsheets or pocket calculators, but it is not recommended for professional software. The average and range method assumes that an error term called “appraiser × part interaction” equals zero. If this assumption is not true (and it sometimes isn’t), then the calculations will not be reliable. A second method is called “range,” or “short AIAG.” It is reserved for special situations. This article will use the work-horse method called “ANOVA” which stands for analysis of variance. When using computer software, we should typically choose ANOVA.\nEvaluating the Results\nFigure 2 evaluates the results in two different ways. The % of Tol column evaluates the measurement process in terms of capability to determine whether parts meet tolerance. GRR% of Tol = 13.5% which is “fairly good.” GRR is the combined uncertainty (i.e., variation) including repeatability on production parts, reproducibility, and appraiser × part interaction. GRR is summed by a special method called RSS (root sum square). The individual variables are described following Figure 2.\nThe % of TV column evaluates the measurement process in terms of capability to detect changes in total variation (TV, an estimate of process variation). GRR% of TV = 32.2% which is not acceptable.\nTherefore, if we need a gage to use for experiments to reduce process variation we should choose a different gage for that purpose. If we need a gage only to determine whether parts meet tolerance, this gage will likely be adequate.\nDescription of Variables\nRepeatability: Variation that is observed when one or more operators repeat the same measurement, on the same part and characteristic, using the same gage. This particular measure of variation does not distinguish between operators. Repeatability is not always influenced by human (operator) variation. To see whether human variation may be a repeatability issue, view the software’s “repeatability range control chart.”\nReproducibility: Additional variation that is observed when multiple operators are unable to reproduce the same test-group average within limits predicted by repeatability.\nAppraiser × Part Interaction: Additional variation that is observed when multiple operators are unable to reproduce the same pattern of part variation within limits predicted by repeatability.\nPart-to-part: Either the actual variation (% TV column), or the allowable variation (% Tol column), in the test parts the gage is trying to measure.\nInterpreting Gage Capability Measures\nA few companies prefer to use “number of distinct categories” (NDC) instead of GRR%. We can visualize NDC as “categories” in an imaginary histogram. As GRR% gets smaller, the categories also get smaller and there is room for more categories. Using NDC will make no difference to acceptance decisions, with one potential exception: Users of NDC may choose to define “not acceptable” as NDC less than 5 categories. In that case, the corresponding rejection value would be GRR% more than 27%.\nFigure 4 shows an example of visualizing gage capability measures with an imaginary histogram. In this example, there are 9 categories associated with the tolerance and 3 categories associated with TV (total variation). We can see that we have a pretty good idea whether the measurements do, or don’t, meet tolerance. We can also see that 3 categories give us only a very crude picture of the process variation. (But, the gage couldn’t reliably support smaller categories.)\nWe can also represent GRR% of tolerance on our imaginary histogram as two “zones of doubt,” each centered on a specification limit. If the measurements should drift into one of these danger zones, sometimes the measured value and the “true value” would be on opposite sides of the limit, causing a wrong decision. For 9 categories, the corresponding value of GRR% of tolerance is 15.5% for each zone.\nHow do Gage Capability Measures Work?\nThere are three variables. One variable is GRR which, of course, is a combination of variables. The other two variables are part variation (PV) and total variation (TV). A TV is usually an estimate of process variation, or tolerance / 6, depending on the purpose of the gage.\nThese variables are related by the formula:\nThis relationship can be modeled as three sides of a right triangle:\nGage capability can be measured by the ratio of any two sides of the triangle or the ratio of the squares of any two sides. The most popular ratio is a smaller-is-better ratio:\nGRR% = 100 ( GRR / TV )\nThe second most popular ratio is a larger-is-better ratio:\nnumber of distinct categories = 1.41 ( PV / GRR )\nYou could use either one or both, according to preference.\nIllustration of Reproducibility and Appraiser × Part Interaction\nIn Figure 2, appraiser × part interaction is 0.0%, meaning the pattern of part variation, as measured by each operator, is approximately the same.\nFigure 6 shows what this looks like. Reproducibility is also 0.0%, meaning the three patterns have approximately the same average. How close the averages have to be is determined by repeatability.\nBy contrast, Figure 7 has both variations from interaction and variation from reproducibility. See Figure 8 for the corresponding calculated results.\nAbout The Author\nGary Phillips has been in the quality field for nearly 50 years.

Many times, people think it’s all about the quality of mechanics. While this is certainly one of the most important aspects of a repair facility, there are other things that make a repair facility operate smoothly and create loyal customers. Like any other type of business, dedicated software has done wonders to help an auto repair business. For example, software for mechanics can be extremely beneficial both from how it benefits the auto repair facility to how it benefits the customer.\nFrom a standpoint of how easy auto repair software is beneficial to a repair facility, this type of software creates a database of customers. This database can be used when it comes to a particular service order for a vehicle that has come into the shop for maintenance or repairs. Not only does this software offer a homepage where the customer’s name, the make and model of their vehicle as well as license plate in vehicle identification numbers are displayed, but it can also offer a detailed description of the services that are desired. It also provides the maintenance history of the vehicle as well as a breakdown of the services either required or elected by the vehicle owner.\nHow this helps the customer is that this type of home page can be printed out for the customers. This allows the customer to see everything that has been done to the vehicle, and they can also see a detailed breakdown of the cost of each of these services. They’ll see the cost for parts, for labor and any other fees that are included.\nA repair facility should focus on having the best quality mechanics possible to provide unparalleled auto repair and maintenance services. However, there are things that the customer will want beyond that, and there are also things that can help the repair shop run smoothly. That is precisely what software can do. Whether it’s giving detailed history on the vehicle, alerts for any sort of recall bulletins, a comprehensive breakdown on the repairs that are needed and how much these repairs will cost, all these services are essential.

Yomi Robitics uses a combination of 3D imaging and haptic technology to help guide Dr. Ewing’s hand during the placement of the implant, which can result in a more accurate and comfortable experience for the patient.\nThe Yomi system also has the potential to reduce the amount of time required for the implant placement procedure, which can lead to less discomfort, faster recovery times for patients and a less invasive procedure.\nAchieving Restored Smiles with the Latest Technology and Expertise\nThe Yomi® dental robot takes the art and science of dental implants a step further by providing audio, visual and physical feedback to guide the surgeon in precision implant placement. It’s interesting to note that while robotic surgery has been around for over two decades, the Yomi robot is the first and only FDA-cleared robot-assisted dental surgery system available in the United States. Its clearance for general dental implant procedures in 2016 and for full mouth dental implants in 2020 indicates its safety and effectiveness in performing complex dental procedures.\nThe Yomi robot has been used to place more than 10,000 dental implants since its FDA approval and is making headway for dentists in dental implant surgery. By combining the expertise from Dr. Ewing with the precision of a robotic system, Yomi can help deliver transformative dental implant results that can improve patients’ quality of life in Concord, CA.\nRobotics: Enhancing The Results Our Patient’s Receive\nFreehand dental implant placement has a high success rate in skilled hands such as Dr. Ewing and these techniques are still widely used by many competent dentists and specialists. In addition to a dentist, a robot provides several advantages, especially in full arch cases.\nWithout the limitations of cameras or physical guides, Yomi streamlines preoperative dental implant procedural planning, while navigational guidance provides an unprecedented level of instrument precision and control. Dr. Ewing performs virtual surgery on the computer, which creates a plan that the robot follows during actual guided dental implant surgery.\nThe robot uses a 3D scan of your mouth with exact angles and depths needed to drill into the bone to precisely place dental implants. Yomi robotic haptics guide Dr. Ewing’s hand throughout the implant procedure, while also allowing dynamic adjustments based on her clinical expertise.\nBy guiding the precise implant angle and location and securely maintaining this position, Yomi prevents unintended deviation and incorrect placement.\nAdditional benefits include:\nRenewed Dental Function for A Lasting Smile!\nSchedule your consultation for Dental Implant Surgery!", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Superseding older, less efficient elasticated 'hoop-and-rubber-band' suspension systems, the Lyre has greatly improved the ability of Rycote's microphone suspensions to isolate mics from unwanted vibrations, and sits at the heart of successful products like the S-series and redesigned Modular windshields, the Universal Camera Kit, and the InVision series of broadcast and studio recording microphone shockmounts.\nAll these products featuring the Lyre have been introduced at successive IBC exhibitions over the past few years. For IBC 2010, the Lyre makes its debut on Rycote's stereo microphone suspensions, streamlining the range and making it more robust, easier to set up, lighter, more efficient at excluding unwanted vibrations and, perhaps most significantly, making it more affordable to end users.\nFrom IBC 2010 onwards, almost all stereo suspensions will be sold using the distinctive Lyre microphone clips, which will replace the diverse variety of hoops and elasticated suspensions sold until now. The exceptions are the suspensions in Rycote's mono and stereo extended ballgags, where Lyres will be introduced at a later date.\nWhereas the mounting bars in Rycote's existing stereo suspensions have hitherto accepted a variety of microphone suspensions in different sizes and combinations, as of IBC 2010, there will be just two types of mounting clip based on the Lyre design: a so-called 'universal' clip accommodating round and flat-sided microphones from 19 to 25mm in diameter, including Sennheiser's popular MKH range, and a 30mm Lyre clip for still larger mics. This will make it much easier for users to find the right clip for the right microphone. Better yet, the new clips will fit into existing modular mounting bars, allowing existing users of Rycote's recent stereo suspensions to upgrade quickly and affordably, simply by changing their mounting clips. Best of all, thanks to manufacturing efficiencies resulting from the streamlining of the range, the new suspensions will be more affordable than the old-style stereo shockmounts.\nOver the next few months, Rycote will be rolling out the new Lyre-based stereo suspensions as part of their Stereo Windshield Kits, including the appropriate stereo windshield and windjammer.\n\"The introduction of the Lyre to our stereo suspensions makes them more efficient, easier to specify and set up, and more affordable,\" says Rycote's International Sales and Marketing Manager Stefano Pucello, introducing the new stereo suspensions at IBC. \"It's good news for everybody: our end users, sales partners and distributors.\"\nFor more information or for a demonstration of the new stereo suspensions, please come to stand A60 in Hall 8, where the new products will be on show throughout IBC 2010.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

In a tweet on Twitter, the CEO of Ola Electric uploaded a video of his first electric scooter. Simultaneously, Agarwal asserted, “It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in less time than it takes to read this tweet! A revolution is on its way, whether you’re ready or not!” Bhavish Aggarwal has shared the video of the electric scooter.\nOla Electric Scooter Specifics\nOla Electric is getting ready to launch its first electric scooter in India. This electric scooter has been a long time coming to the Indian two-wheeler market. Its price is scheduled to be released at the end of this month. It will compete with electric scooters such as the Ather 450X from Ather Energy.\nOla Electric Scooter Range of Motion\nThe Etergo AppScooter serves as the foundation for Ola’s future electric scooter. In May 2020, Ola Cabs purchased Etergo, an electric scooter firm based in the Netherlands. The scooter is outfitted with a replaceable high-energy-density battery pack. According to the firm, it can travel up to 240 kilometres on a single charge. The Etergo AppScooter can go from 0 to 45 kilometres per hour in 3.9 seconds. Under the seat of this electric scooter is a storage compartment with a capacity of 50 litres.\nOla Electric Scooter Mileage\nThe Ola scooter can be charged up to 50% in 18 minutes using the company’s charging network. After that, it may easily travel up to 75 kilometres. When you buy an Ola scooter, you’ll also get a home charger unit to charge it at home.\nOla Electric Scooter Price\nBefore the launch of the Ola electric scooter, it is too early to speculate on the pricing. The first electric scooter from the startup is estimated to cost roughly Rs 1 lakh. However, this electric scooter is eligible for the recently amended FAME II incentive. The central government has lowered the burden on EV makers by boosting the subsidy on electric two-wheelers in order to accelerate the adoption and manufacturing of electric vehicles in India.\nThe Department of Heavy Industries recently enhanced the incentive (amount) for the purchase of electric two-wheelers to Rs 15,000 per kWh. Previously, all-electric vehicles received a 10,000-per-unit subsidy. That is, the new subsidy rate is Rs 5,000 higher per kWh than the previous subsidy rate. These vehicles include plug-in hybrids and strong hybrids.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The solutions we provide help our customers to increase their sustainability and profitability.\nUpcoming EU regulations signify changes but also bring opportunities. Change now and save on essentials such as energy, CO₂ emissions, raw materials, food – and costs. A sustainable and valuable choice for brands and everyone who packs.\nWith our ultrasonic sealing technology, you can enhance the sustainability of your packaging process automatically while simultaneously reducing costs by:\nA customer packs moist, chunky cat food in a stand-up pouch. This repeatedly resulted in defective packaging that had to be disposed of. By switching to our reliable sealing technology, the number of leaking packs was able to be reduced from 0.05 % to 0.001 %.\nThat might not sound like much, but it’s actually quite substantial: every day, more than 4.4 tons of cat food are saved from disposal – equivalent to the weight of a full-grown elephant.\nThe longitudinal seal on a pillow bag, the top seal or the cap seal on carton or sealing of chain bags, ultrasonic sealing technology provides solutions for a wide range of packaging applications to make your sealing process faster, safer and more sustainable.\nThe ultrasonic sealing technology is used to package products in many industries – whenever there is a need for packaging that is durable, leak-proof, and visually flawless.\nThe ultrasonic generator ensures reproducible results for all sealing applications. With specially developed functions and external sensors, it is possible to reliably detect faulty conditions and eliminate defective sealed packaging.\nWhether you are looking to limit overpackaging, increase the product-specific recyclate usage rate, or replace multilayer packaging with new monomaterials, ultrasonic sealing offers a future-proof solution to meet your packaging needs.\nEU-wide standards for over-packing will define maximum allowed empty space in packaging and ban certain forms of unnecessary packaging. The Ultrasonic technology allows to minimize the sealing area and as a result reduces unnecessary packaging space.\nIn the future an increased use of recycled plastics in packaging material is mandatory to meet the legal regulations and to decrease the use of virgin materials.\nIn order to meet future packaging recycling rates monomeric materials will become more and more a standard for packaging material. As monomeric material is quite sensible towards heat Ultrasonic offers here the right technology for a tight and reliable sealing process.\nThe top seal module from Herrmann brings together the experiences from more than 1,000 top-seal sealing stations on the market. With its modular design, it is configurable for a variety of packaging machine types.\n- 30 and 35 kHz operating frequency\n- up to 207 mm sealing length\n- up to 1200 N sealing force\nIn ultrasonic welding, melt is created in the packaging material itself by introducing mechanical vibrations into the packaging material using a sonotrode. These vibrations generate friction between the molecular chains and the interfaces of the packaging material layers, resulting in localized melting. The use of cold ultrasonic tools enables rapid cooling, allowing for immediate loading of the produced seam. This minimizes the thermal load on the materials and the packaged goods.\nContact us and we will launch a project together that will enable you to incorporate the sustainability megatrend into your company – conveniently, quickly, and cost-effectively.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Its high level of quality and reliability makes this a sedan that people are confident to drive. Many believed that this vehicle was nearly perfect before. However, the 2017 version takes this prized model to a whole new level with great features and additions. Check out the amazing qualities that make the Accord a vehicle that was built to last.\nHonda Accord History\nThe Honda Accord made its world debut in 1976. It was initially only available as a two-door hatchback, and weighed about 2,000 pounds. Even so, the Accord had immediate success upon its arrival. Since the beginning, it has featured a quality interior with great switchgear. The Accord layout was made to provide comfort, as well as help drivers operate the vehicle with ease. The first edition included standard equipment like AM/FM radio, a rear window wiper, defroster, washer, and a remote hatch release. Though these all sound like typical features for vehicles of today, this was revolutionary during the Accord’s release in the 70’s.\nAccord Power and Performance\nThe performance level of the Honda Accord has greatly increased throughout the years. The original model had a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, and provided a 68 horsepower output. Today, standard Accords come equipped with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. These vehicles are able to produce 85 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Achieve higher performance levels with the optional 3.5-liter V6 engine. This engine produces 278 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque.\n2017 Accord Features and Trim\nThe new Accord takes the features on this model to a whole new level. Notice the exterior updates. This vehicle comes with an aluminum hood, updated front and rear ends, and LED lighting. Take a look at the Accord interior, and you’ll see why drivers really fall in love with this model. One benefit is the great deal of space available – offering an ample amount of headroom, shoulder room, and legroom. This way, drivers and passengers can travel without feeling restricted. There are also features available that add to the driving experience. Check out this model’s user-friendly touchscreen interface, eight-way power seating, and standard rearview camera. These great additions provide drivers with more comfort and convenience.\nAvailable trim levels for the Honda Accord sedan include the base LX, EX, EX-L, Ex-L V6, Touring, Sport, and Sport Edition (SE). The coupe is offered in 5 trim levels: LX-S, EX, EX-L, EX-LV6, and Touring.\nHonda Accord Fuel Economy\nWhen it’s time to buy a new vehicle, fuel economy is definitely something to consider. Luckily, the four-cylinder version of the 2017 Accord model provides *30 mpg combined (27 city/36 highway). The six-cylinder engine also does well on fuel, offering *25 mpg combined (21 city/33 highway). Therefore, you know that if you purchase an Accord, gas mileage is something that you won’t have to constantly worry about.\nWould you like to experience the 2017 Accord for yourself? Visit Mossy Honda Lemon Grove in California for a test drive, today! Be sure to ask about the standard features that come with each trim. Our professionals are excited to help you get into a new vehicle that meets your needs.\n*Based on EPA mileage ratings. Use for comparison purposes only. Your mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle, driving conditions and other factors.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Such methods are efficient for problems with more design variables than constraints, which is typical of aerodynamic shape optimization problems based on computational fluid dynamics, for example. Several different perspectives on adjoint methods will be discussed. Emphasis will be on the discrete adjoint approach as opposed to the continuous approach.\nThis talk will focus on numerical algorithms for solving computationally expensive optimization problems under parameter uncertainty. An overview of probabilistic and non-probabilistic approaches for formulating optimization problems under uncertainty will be presented and the computational challenges that arise will be highlighted. We will briefly describe two promising approaches for solving a class of problems: (1) numerical schemes based on efficient stochastic partial differential equation solvers and (2) Bayesian robust optimization algorithms.\nIn this talk, we provide a brief overview of two optimization methods that deal with noisy data. In robust optimization, the problem parameters may be contaminated with uncertainty and the goal is to derive optimal solutions that are de-sensitized to the uncertainty. In inverse optimization, noisy observations corresponding to the output of an optimization problem are observed and the goal is to reverse engineer the problem parameters that generated the observations. In addition to presenting the basic theory, we will briefly illustrate the application of these methods to two problems in radiation-based cancer therapy.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Shelby in turn recruits Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to drive the car, a move that rubs certain Ford bigwigs the wrong way, most notably Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas), the executive in charge of the racing division.\nBales, whose turn as the hotheaded mechanic and driver Miles is essentially a co-lead with Damon, dominates every scene he’s in with an energetic performance that commands attention. In fact, some of his best scenes involve Miles alone on the road in the racecar, commenting to himself about how much he enjoys the ride or doesn’t appreciate the actions of the drivers around him.\nThe film delivers both in the corporate versus maverick politics of the company’s attempts to constrain Shelby’s efforts, as well as being a thrilling racing movie. Mangold’s racing footage puts viewers on the track and in the cars, and viewers can practically feel the crashes through their high-definition home theaters.\nThe scenes involving the design and testing of the new racecars are equally compelling, as Shelby’s team takes on the engineering challenge with the focus and intensity of a NASA mission to the moon.\nThough Damon and Bale get the headlines with one of the great screen partnerships of recent years, the supporting cast delivers some noteworthy work as well, particularly Caitriona Balfe and Noah Jupe as Miles’ wife and son, and Ray McKinnon as one of Shelby’s top mechanics.\nAnd the film gets to have its cake and eat it too with the “Batman v Bourne” of it all, when Shelby and Miles have a bit of a spat over how much of Ford’s corporate meddling they’re willing to take.\nThe intricacy of detail the filmmakers took in re-creating the racing culture of the 1960s is on display in the hour-long making-of documentary “Bringing the Rivalry to Life” that is included with the Blu-ray and digital copies of the film. The eight-part program offers ample interviews about how much the cast enjoyed making the movie, and how the filmmakers went about making replica cars to use for the racing scenes.\nDigital versions include the exclusive “The 24-Hour Le Mans: Re-creating the Course,” a 22-minute featurette that delves into how the filmmakers re-created the Le Mans course, using a mix of replica cars and visual effects to enhance the backgrounds. In some cases, the sons of the original drivers were bought in to play their fathers in the climactic race.\nThe digital edition also offers a 26-minute highlight reel of pre-vis animation of the race scenes.\nVudu has an additional three-minute featurette edited from clips culled from the other bonus materials.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Which system is best for you? Let's find out:\nSub-Slab systems utilize the existing concrete slab in your basement to effectively pull radon from underneath your home and exhaust it safely outside. This is achieved by drilling a 5-inch suction hole through the slab, a pit is dug underneath and a suction pipe is inserted. The radon fan, once turned on creates suction and begins to draw radon that would have gotten into your home and expels it outside where it safely disperses into the atmosphere. Along with other necessary mitigation applications such as crack filling, sump lid sealing, backer rod installation and so on, this system is very efficient and will work well for years to come.\nThis is an active soil-depressurization system whereby a suction point is located within the drain tile. Generally, Drain-Tile depressurization systems are installed during a new homes construction. A contractor can connect the vent pipe to the drain tile and run the vent pipe inside interior walls up to the attic where a Radon Specialist will make the final tie in with the proper radon exhaust fan.\nIn this particular application the radon fan assembly is located inside the attic and exhausts out the roof of the home. This type of system can be very cost effective when done during the homes construction but very cost prohibitive if done after the home is finished. The benefit of this system is that the entire radon system is hidden from view.\nThis is an active radon mitigation system that creates negative air pressure under a vapor barrier to draw radon out and away from the home. These systems work by sealing off the existing dirt/gravel floor and drawing radon from underneath. It's crucial to a system like this that the plastic membrane not be disturbed after the install is complete due to risks of tears, punctures and other damage that could prevent the system from working as efficiently as designed.\nSump pit depressurization system:\nis a radon mitigation system that has a suction point installed in the sump lid. This type of system utilizes the existing drain pipes that run underneath your concrete slab to help carry water to your sump. We can utilize this network of pipes to draw radon out from underneath your slab in the same way water is drawn out. Using an existing sump as our suction point allows our systems to have a smaller footprint, a cleaner install and a less noticeable mitigation system in your home.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

This is not even a legal designation, and a human driver must be available at all times to take over from the assistive techinology. The car is capable of autonomously braking, accelerating, and steering, but is not designed to be left alone. The driver apparently ignored several warning to return attention the steering wheel before the collision. According to a Tesla statement:\n“The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision. The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken.”\nThey also stated that the incident was worsened by the crash attenuator, a highway barrier with which the car collided, had already been badly damaged, and provided a blunt surface for the impact.\nThe victim was a 38 year old Apple software engineer.\nTesla’s detailed statement goes on to vigorously defend the Autopilot technology in its vehicles, while also expressing its condolences for the tragedy.\nIn the US, there is one automotive fatality every 86 million miles across all vehicles from all manufacturers. For Tesla, there is one fatality, including known pedestrian fatalities, every 320 million miles in vehicles equipped with Autopilot hardware. If you are driving a Tesla equipped with Autopilot hardware, you are 3.7 times less likely to be involved in a fatal accident.\nThe monthly performance of Tesla’s share price has been abysmal, capping off a recall affecting 123,000 Tesla Model S vehicles globally over a power steering issue. Bottleneck problems in Tesla’s ability to manufacture the new Model 3 as quickly as hoped, particularly centering around their battery plants have further hammered values.\nOn a positive note for Tesla founder, Elon Musk, his rocket firm, SpaceX, recently had positive news after they were able to recover the fairing, a heat protective cap for a rocket, from the ocean, capping off a successful launch.\nOnce a rocket exits the atmosphere and the friction-generated heat fades, the fairing is supposed to break in half and reenter the atmosphere before falling to earth. SpaceX had contracted a boat, and equipped it with a giant claw to retrieve it from the ocean. They planned to use GPS assisted parafoils, a type of parachute, to assist reentry at low speeds. The parafoils were paired with tiny thrusters, and could guide the fairing directly into the claw. After a scare occured when a parafoil became tangled, fears that a fast reentry and collision with the ocean would destroy the fairing erupted. In the end, a pairing half was successfully recovered, though.\nThis might be a good time for investors to scoop up Tesla shares, if one believes that the company will continue to fare well with the mass of competitor EVs coming onto the market.\nGoing to try to catch the giant fairing (nosecone) of Falcon 9 as it falls back from space at about eight times the speed of sound. It has onboard thrusters and a guidance system to bring it through the atmosphere intact, then releases a parafoil and our ship, named Mr. Steven, with basically a giant catcher’s mitt welded on, tries to catch it.\nStaff writer: Ari B\nPhoto credit: Matt Henry", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

The chimney liner can be either rigid or flexible in nature. A chimney liner acts as chimney within a chimney by funneling the smoke away from your heating source. A chimney liner can be connected to various heating sources that utilize your masonry chimney a ventilation point. Depending on the heating source, you will need either a tee connection or an appliance connector. There are two types of chimney liner on the market today; Rigid chimney liner and Flexible chimney liners.\nTypes of Chimney Liners?\nThere are two types of chimney liner on the market today; Rigid chimney liner and Flexible chimney liners. Each has a different purpose depending on the condition and the design of your chimney. You would use a rigid chimney liner if the flue inside of your chimney was straight or did not have many imperfections on its way to your heating source. A rigid chimney liner comes in a couple of different types of metal alloy including 304L and 316L. If your masonry chimney has several bends in it or has a many imperfections, then our flexible chimney liner is the right choice for you.\nOur Flex King brand of flexible stainless steel chimney liner is great for masonry chimneys with some bends and imperfections. Our Flex King chimney liner is our base model made of 316Ti and comes in a wide range of sizes to fit your fireplace or fireplace insert. The Flex King Pro chimney liner offers the highest quality of chimney liner on the market today with its smooth wall interior and being twice the thickness of Flex King chimney liners.\nWhy Do You Need A Chimney Liner?\nMost home inspectors require that you have a chimney liner in your masonry chimney before your home can be sold. Also over the years more and more states and requiring that you install a chimney for environmental reasons as well as safety reasons. Believe it or not a chimney liner creates another barrier between a chimney fire and your family. A chimney liner allows for easier cleaning and extends the life of your masonry chimney.\nToday’s high efficiency furnaces vent acidic moisture into chimneys. This moisture can over time destroy a masonry chimney. If you’ve ever seen a chimney with a white film on the bricks, this is most likely the cause.

This device is meant to help prevent the driver from having access to the vehicle in the event that they are intoxicated.\nWhat is an ignition interlock device?\nAn ignition interlock device is a mechanism that uses a Breathalyzer test to start a vehicle. When the driver gets behind the wheel, they will need to blow into the Breathalyzer. If their breath alcohol concentration is below the limits set on the ignition interlock device, the vehicle will start. If their breath alcohol concentration is at or above the set point, the car won’t start.\nWhen are drivers required to use an ignition interlock device?\nIgnition interlock devices are typically prescribed as part of a person’s probation regulations after being convicted of DUI. The Department of Public Safety is responsible for issuing the need for an ignition interlock device for a specific driver. The Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence, or BOT for short, is the group that regulates the ignition interlock device industry.\nWhen a person is prescribed an ignition interlock device as part of their probation, they will need to set up an appointment with a specialized service center. Only BOT-approved service centers can install the ignition interlock device according to the BOT specifications. The driver whose vehicle is being fitted with the device will typically be responsible for the cost of installation.\nHaving an ignition interlock device is something that many people undergo after being convicted of alcohol-related driving offenses. These systems can be expensive to use and have installed in your vehicle. It’s a good idea to seek the help of legal counsel if you’ve been charged with an alcohol-related offense.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Metal tiles and panels are much easier to install than ceramic or concrete tiles and make for easy commercial roof repair Dallas TX roofers say. In addition, renowned metal roof manufacturers provide full coverage systems for different roof types, including drainage systems, vents, or other accessories.\nAnother advantage of a metal roof is its reduced weight, the loading of the tiles or panels being less than 10kg/ square meter (compared to 30-40kg/ square meter in the case of ceramic tiles). Some metal roof manufacturers cover the surface of tiles and panels with a fine quartz coating, before applying the paint, the final aspect being more attractive without the typical glossy finish. Also, this coating offers better sound damping and impact resistance properties. Metal tiles and panels are well protected against corrosion, which contributes to their resistance and durability. Most manufacturers are willing to offer a very generous warranty. Moreover, the roof covered with metal tiles or panels instantly forms a ventilation layer, from the eaves to the ridge, which is very beneficial for the roof and for the space below.\nThis category includes a diverse amalgam of membrane types that are usually referred to by acronyms indicating their composition, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer).

Check out our bakeware items as well as colorful baking accessories!\nCast iron tends to be brittle, except for malleable cast irons. With its relatively low melting point, good fluidity, castability, excellent machinability, resistance to deformation and wear resistance, cast irons have become an engineering material with a wide range of applications and are used in pipes, machines and automotive industry parts, such as cylinder heads, cylinder blocks and gearbox cases. It is resistant to damage by oxidation but is notoriously difficult to weld.\nThe earliest cast-iron artefacts date to the 5th century BC, and were discovered by archaeologists in what is now Jiangsu, China. Cast iron was used in ancient China for warfare, agriculture, and architecture. During the 15th century AD, cast iron became utilized for cannon in Burgundy, France, and in England during the Reformation. The amounts of cast iron used for cannons required large-scale production. The first cast-iron bridge was built during the 1770s by Abraham Darby III, and is known as the Iron Bridge in Shropshire, England. Cast iron was also used in the construction of buildings.\nCast iron is sometimes melted in a special type of blast furnace known as a cupola, but in modern applications, it is more often melted in electric induction furnaces or electric arc furnaces. After melting is complete, the molten cast iron is poured into a holding furnace or ladle.\nCast iron's properties are changed by adding various alloying elements, or alloyants. Next to carbon, silicon is the most important alloyant because it forces carbon out of solution. A low percentage of silicon allows carbon to remain in solution forming iron carbide and the production of white cast iron. A high percentage of silicon forces carbon out of solution forming graphite and the production of grey cast iron. Other alloying agents, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, titanium and vanadium counteracts silicon, promotes the retention of carbon, and the formation of those carbides. Nickel and copper increase strength, and machinability, but do not change the amount of graphite formed. The carbon in the form of graphite results in a softer iron, reduces shrinkage, lowers strength, and decreases density. Sulfur, largely a contaminant when present, forms iron sulfide, which prevents the formation of graphite and increases hardness. The problem with sulfur is that it makes molten cast iron viscous, which causes defects. To counter the effects of sulfur, manganese is added because the two form into manganese sulfide instead of iron sulfide. The manganese sulfide is lighter than the melt, so it tends to float out of the melt and into the slag. The amount of manganese required to neutralize sulfur is 1.7 sulfur content + 0.3%. If more than this amount of manganese is added, then manganese carbide forms, which increases hardness and chilling, except in grey iron, where up to 1% of manganese increases strength and density.\nWhite cast iron displays white fractured surfaces due to the presence of an iron carbide precipitate called cementite. With a lower silicon content (graphitizing agent) and faster cooling rate, the carbon in white cast iron precipitates out of the melt as the metastable phase cementite, Fe3C, rather than graphite. The cementite which precipitates from the melt forms as relatively large particles. As the iron carbide precipitates out, it withdraws carbon from the original melt, moving the mixture toward one that is closer to eutectic, and the remaining phase is the lower iron-carbon austenite (which on cooling might transform to martensite). These eutectic carbides are much too large to provide the benefit of what is called precipitation hardening (as in some steels, where much smaller cementite precipitates might inhibit [plastic deformation] by impeding the movement of dislocations through the pure iron ferrite matrix). Rather, they increase the bulk hardness of the cast iron simply by virtue of their own very high hardness and their substantial volume fraction, such that the bulk hardness can be approximated by a rule of mixtures. In any case, they offer hardness at the expense of toughness. Since carbide makes up a large fraction of the material, white cast iron could reasonably be classified as a cermet. White iron is too brittle for use in many structural components, but with good hardness and abrasion resistance and relatively low cost, it finds use in such applications as the wear surfaces (impeller and volute) of slurry pumps, shell liners and lifter bars in ball mills and autogenous grinding mills, balls and rings in coal pulverisers, and the teeth of a backhoe's digging bucket (although cast medium-carbon martensitic steel is more common for this application).\nIt is difficult to cool thick castings fast enough to solidify the melt as white cast iron all the way through. However, rapid cooling can be used to solidify a shell of white cast iron, after which the remainder cools more slowly to form a core of grey cast iron. The resulting casting, called a chilled casting, has the benefits of a hard surface with a somewhat tougher interior.\nHigh-chromium white iron alloys allow massive castings (for example, a 10-tonne impeller) to be sand cast, as the chromium reduces cooling rate required to produce carbides through the greater thicknesses of material. Chromium also produces carbides with impressive abrasion resistance. These high-chromium alloys attribute their superior hardness to the presence of chromium carbides. The main form of these carbides are the eutectic or primary M7C3 carbides, where \\\"M\\\" represents iron or chromium and can vary depending on the alloy's composition. The eutectic carbides form as bundles of hollow hexagonal rods and grow perpendicular to the hexagonal basal plane. The hardness of these carbides are within the range of 1500-1800HV.\nMalleable iron starts as a white iron casting that is then heat treated for a day or two at about 950 C (1,740 F) and then cooled over a day or two. As a result, the carbon in iron carbide transforms into graphite and ferrite plus carbon. The slow process allows the surface tension to form the graphite into spheroidal particles rather than flakes. Due to their lower aspect ratio, the spheroids are relatively short and far from one another, and have a lower cross section vis-a-vis a propagating crack or phonon. They also have blunt boundaries, as opposed to flakes, which alleviates the stress concentration problems found in grey cast iron. In general, the properties of malleable cast iron are more like those of mild steel. There is a limit to how large a part can be cast in malleable iron, as it is made from white cast iron.\nDeveloped in 1948, nodular or ductile cast iron has its graphite in the form of very tiny nodules with the graphite in the form of concentric layers forming the nodules. As a result, the properties of ductile cast iron are that of a spongy steel without the stress concentration effects that flakes of graphite would produce. The carbon percentage present is 3-4% and percentage of silicon is 1.8-2.8%.Tiny amounts of 0.02 to 0.1% magnesium, and only 0.02 to 0.04% cerium added to these alloys slow the growth of graphite precipitates by bonding to the edges of the graphite planes. Along with careful control of other elements and timing, this allows the carbon to separate as spheroidal particles as the material solidifies. The properties are similar to malleable iron, but parts can be cast with larger sections.\nThe earliest cast-iron artifacts date to the 5th century BC, and were discovered by archaeologists in what is now modern Luhe County, Jiangsu in China during the Warring States period. This is based on an analysis of the artifact's microstructures.\nIn the west, where it did not become available until the 15th century, its earliest uses included cannon and shot. Henry VIII initiated the casting of cannon in England. Soon, English iron workers using blast furnaces developed the technique of producing cast-iron cannons, which, while heavier than the prevailing bronze cannons, were much cheaper and enabled England to arm her navy better. The technology of cast iron was transferred from China. Al-Qazvini in the 13th century and other travellers subsequently noted an iron industry in the Alburz Mountains to the south of the Caspian Sea. This is close to the silk route, so that the use of technology derived from China is conceivable. The ironmasters of the Weald continued producing cast irons until the 1760s, and armament was one of the main uses of irons after the Restoration.\nCast-iron pots were made at many English blast furnaces at the time. In 1707, Abraham Darby patented a new method of making pots (and kettles) thinner and hence cheaper than those made by traditional methods. This meant that his Coalbrookdale furnaces became dominant as suppliers of pots, an activity in which they were joined in the 1720s and 1730s by a small number of other coke-fired blast furnaces.\nThe use of cast iron for structural purposes began in the late 1770s, when Abraham Darby III built the Iron Bridge, although short beams had already been used, such as in the blast furnaces at Coalbrookdale. Other inventions followed, including one patented by Thomas Paine. Cast-iron bridges became commonplace as the Industrial Revolution gathered pace. Thomas Telford adopted the material for his bridge upstream at Buildwas, and then for Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct, a canal trough aqueduct at Longdon-on-Tern on the Shrewsbury Canal. It was followed by the Chirk Aqueduct and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, both of which remain in use following the recent restorations. 59ce067264", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Poe will obtain a master’s degree in mechanical engineering May 2019, his focus on thermal fluid sciences.\nPropelling to success\nTwo years ago, Poe found himself at Red Bull Air Racing. A year later, he purchased a pit pass with an interest in learning more about the teams. His mission was simple, ask about opportunities and any advice that would allow him to join a team. Poe contacted Rob Fry in regards to Yoshihide Muroya’s team. They were impressed with his background in thermal fluids, modeling and 3-D printing.\nPoe at the Red Bull Air Race.\nFry’s interest and Poe’s persistency led to a successful job at Red Bull Air Racing. Poe’s official title for Muroya’s racing teaming is volunteer engineer. Modeling and creating mock-up design work are a few examples of what his job consists of. Bug washer was another role, but Poe was still grateful for the opportunity.\n“I can’t tell you how many bugs I washed off the airplane,” Poe said. “I just enjoy being there and being part of the team and if I have to wash bugs off the plane, I’ll do it. It was a learning experience.”\nWhen Poe first started his education, math and engineering weren’t offered as dual-degrees. With the help of Jeffrey X. Watt, Ph.D., he was able to arrange his schedule to fit his aspirations. The math courses supplemented the engineering courses well, helping him understand modeling portions more in-depth. The two still work closely together, Watt providing a reference letter as Poe moved on to graduate school. Carlos Larriba-Andaluz, Ph.D., has proved pivotal to Poe’s engineering master’s degree.\nPoe has taken advantage of every opportunity to build his resume; whether it be part-time adjunct for math, research in biomedical, Meggitt, or Red Bull Racing.

Wrapping by hand is particularly suitable in case of low volumes (max 10 pallets per day) and/or when wrapping is taking place on wide ranging locations. It is simple and effective, but also time consuming and very strenuous for the employee. In case of larger numbers of pallets, it quickly becomes recommendable to use a pallet wrapper. A good wrapping machine uses (a lot) less film than when wrapping by hand. Investment in a machine is often quickly recouped.\nPlease contact us to discuss whether a film wrapping machine is a suitable solution for you.\nWhen this type of pallet wrapper is used, the product is standing on a turntable. This turntable turns and wraps the wrapping film around the product. Click here to see a video of a turntable wrapper.\nA turntable wrapper makes an average of 12-15 revolutions per minute. The product must be relatively stable and properly stacked, because the entire load is rotating and could fall apart. In general, a turntable wrapper is easy to move. They are light and compact and with the aid of a forklift truck it is possible to move the wrapper elsewhere quickly.\nClick here for an overview of all Cyklop turntable wrappers.\nIn the case of an arm wrapper, the product remains standing (e.g. a pallet on the floor) and the film carriage with the wrapping film on it is attached to an ‘arm’ and rotates around the product. This method of wrapping is suitable for light and unstable products, because the load is not rotating. But the arm wrapper is also highly suitable for heavy products (because sometimes a turntable wrapper cannot carry the weight). In the case of an arm wrapper, the heavy load remains standing on the floor.\nIf the wrapper is in an environment where the floor must be cleaned on a daily basis, e.g. in the food industry, this wrapper also offers significant advantages. As only the frame is mounted to the floor, it is easy to clean the floor here.\nClick here for an overview of all Cyklop arm wrappers.\nThe ring wrapper is similar to the arm wrapper, because the load remains standing still, while the film carriage rotates around the pallet. However, in the case of a ring wrapper, the film carriage is not attached to an arm, but to a large ring. The great benefit of this is that the film carriage can rotate much faster, increasing the capacity per hour.\nA ring wrapper is particularly suitable in case of large (peak) volumes, when a high-speed wrapper is required. A ring wrapper can wrap up to 180 pallets per hour.\nClick here for an overview of all Cyklop ring wrappers.\nA robot wrapper is a wrapper that drives around the load independently and wraps film around the load. Click here for a video of a robot wrapper.\nThe great benefit of a robot wrapper is its flexibility. The machine is (electrically) mobile, making it possible to wrap pallets on different locations easily and quickly. The robot was specially developed for users that want to wrap a wide range of (large) pallets on various locations.\nClick here for an overview of all Cyklop robot wrappers.\nA horizontal wrapper, also referred to as horizontal ring wrapper, is the ideal solution for horizontally packaging large goods such as profiles, boards or doors. Click here for a video of a horizontal wrapper. When using a horizontal film wrapping machine, the load is guided through the machine horizontally, while the film carriage rotates around the product.

Penn State’s WWTP has been in operation since the early 1900’s, and provides sanitary sewer service to a majority of the University Park Campus and a small portion of the State College Borough in the College Heights District. Map 1 shows the current Sewer Service Area for the Penn State WWTP.\nMap 1. Sewer Service Area for Penn State WWTP\nThe WWTP has a hydraulic capacity to treat up to 4.0 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater, and a design organic capacity of 9,500 pounds of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) per day (Photo 1). BOD is a measurement of the quantity of oxygen consumed by microorganisms, and is typically used to determine the strength of municipal wastewater. In 2017, the Penn State WWTP had an annual average flow of 1.46 MGD, and an annual average organic loading of 2,994 pounds BOD per day.\nPhoto 1. PSU Wastewater Treatment Plant\nThe Penn State WWTP is comprised of two treatment trains: one to provide treatment of the liquid wastewater, and one to provide treatment of the solids. A process flow diagram of the liquid treatment train at the existing WWTP is shown in Figure 1.\nFigure 1. Liquid Train Process Flow Diagram\nThe liquid treatment train generally consists of the following elements:\nGrit Removal and Classification System: The grit removal system provides removal of grit and other inorganic particulates from the raw wastewater. Grit is typically composed of sand, small rocks, and other dense materials that find their way into a sewer system. It is important to remove this grit material from the raw wastewater, as it can accumulate in downstream treatment tanks and cause abrasion in piping and pumps. A grit classifier is utilized to clean and dewater the grit, which is then collected in a container for disposal at the landfill.\nCoarse Screening: Two coarse screens are operated in parallel to provide removal of large debris from the influent wastewater. This debris typically includes rags, plastics, wood and other materials that may clog or damage downstream equipment. The debris that is collected by the screens is cleaned, dewatered and collected in a container for disposal at the landfill.\nPrimary Settling Tanks: Three rectangular primary settling tanks are operated in parallel to remove settleable solids from the wastewater. The large volume in these tanks causes the flow of the wastewater to slow down, which allows solids to settle to the bottom. A chain and flight scrapping mechanism moves the solids to a hopper, where they are removed from the tank and conveyed to the solids treatment train. After the wastewater flows through the primary settling tanks, the liquid is conveyed to one of two biological treatment systems: the Trickling Filter Process Treatment System or the Activated Sludge Process Treatment System.\nTrickling Filter Process (TFP) Treatment System: A portion of the liquid from the primary settling tanks is conveyed to an anoxic tank, and then to two activated sludge aeration tanks. This series of tanks provides for the biological removal of organics and nitrogen that is in the wastewater. Liquid is also conveyed to two rock-media trickling filters that are operated in parallel (Photo 2 and 3). In the trickling filters, the wastewater trickles down over the rock media to also provide for the biological removal of organics and nitrogen from the wastewater. Once the wastewater has been biologically treated, it is conveyed to two rectangular final settling tanks. Solids collected in the bottom of the settling tanks are either returned to the process as returned activated sludge (RAS), or wasted to the solids treatment train. The treated liquid, or effluent, from the final settling tanks is then sent to the chlorine contact tanks for disinfection.\nThis series of tanks provides for the biological removal of organics and nitrogen that is in the wastewater. Liquid is also conveyed to two rock-media trickling filters that are operated in parallel (Photo 2 and 3).

Once the wastewater has been biologically treated, it is conveyed to two rectangular final settling tanks. Solids collected in the bottom of the settling tanks are either returned to the process as returned activated sludge (RAS), or wasted to the solids treatment train. The treated liquid, or effluent, from the final settling tanks is then sent to the chlorine contact tanks for disinfection.\nPhoto 2. Trickling Filter Tanks\nPhoto 3. Trickling Filter System Rock Media\nActivated Sludge Process (ASP) Treatment System: In the activated sludge treatment system, two circular tanks are utilized (Photo 4). The center of each circular tank serves as an aeration zone for the activated sludge process, while the outer ring of each tank is used for a final settling tank. Aeration and mixing are provided to the liquid in the center ring of each tank, which allows for the biological removal of organics and nitrogen from the wastewater. After biological treatment in the center ring, the wastewater flows to the outer ring where the solids settle to the bottom of the tank. The solids, which primarily consist of the microorganisms that provide biological treatment of the wastewater, are collected at the bottom of the tank and are either returned to the process as RAS, or wasted to the solids treatment train. The effluent from the final settling tanks is then sent to the chlorine contact tanks for disinfection.\nPhoto 4. Activated Sludge Process Treatment System\nDisinfection: Two chlorine contact tanks are operated in parallel to allow for the disinfection of the effluent. Liquid chlorine is added to the effluent to provide for the removal of potentially harmful microorganisms that may still be present in the water. Following disinfection, the treated effluent is conveyed to the effluent pumping system.\nFrom the time the wastewater enters the Penn State WWTP, it typically takes between 12 and 18 hours to flow through the liquid treatment train. As outlined above, the liquid treatment train utilizes physical, chemical and biological processes to effectively and efficiently remove pollutants from the wastewater. The WWTP typically removes over 99% of BOD and 98% of suspended solids from the wastewater.\nThe solids produced at the Penn State WWTP are treated with an anaerobic digestion system. A process flow diagram of the solids processing train at the existing WWTP is shown in Figure 2.\nFigure 2. Solids Train Process Flow Diagram\nThe solids treatment train of the existing WWTP generally consists of the following elements:\nDissolved Air Flotation Thickener: The dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickener provides thickening of the solids from the final settling tanks. The thickened solids are then conveyed to the primary anaerobic digesters, while the liquid that is removed from the solids is conveyed back to the beginning of the liquid treatment train.\nPrimary Anaerobic Digestion: Two primary anaerobic digesters receive and treat solids from the primary settling tanks and the DAF thickener. The anaerobic digestion process uses microorganisms to break down biodegradable solids in the absence of oxygen. Solids remain in the digesters for approximately 20 days. Digested solids from the primary anaerobic digesters are then conveyed to the secondary digester. The anaerobic digestion process naturally produces biogas, which is composed primarily of methane and carbon dioxide. Penn State collects this biogas and utilizes it to heat the contents of the digesters and to provide heat to several buildings onsite.\nSecondary Anaerobic Digestion: One secondary anaerobic digester is utilized to provide additional treatment of the solids and to provide storage of the digested solids prior to dewatering. Treated solids from the secondary anaerobic digester are periodically conveyed to the dewatering system.\nDewatering System: One rotary press is utilized to dewater the digested solids. The purpose of the dewatering process is to remove water from the solids. The solids are pumped from the secondary digester to the rotary press system, where they are mixed with polymer to enhance the removal of water. The conditioned solids are then conveyed through the rotary press system to squeeze out the water. The dewatered solids, known as biosolids, are collected in a dumpster for disposal at a landfill. The liquid removed from the solids is conveyed back to the beginning of the liquid treatment train.\nIn Pennsylvania, the majority of wastewater treatment plants discharge the treated effluent directly to a surface water source such as a stream or river. However, the Penn State wastewater system is unique, in that there is zero discharge to a stream. Since 1983, Penn State has been recycling all of its treated effluent through a land application system known as the Living Filter (Photo 5). The Living Filter consists of approximately 600 acres of agricultural land and forest land (Photo 6 and 7). An estimated 90% of the irrigated water recharges the region’s water table—about 1.3 MGD, or over 475 million gallons per year. The land application of treated effluent provides enhanced treatment of the water as it slowly percolates through the soil profile, helps to maintain base flows in streams such as Spring Creek, and reduces the impacts of drought conditions. The Penn State WWTP has not discharged to a stream since 1983, and is thought to be one of the many reasons that the water quality of Spring Creek is considered to be better now than any time in the last 100 years. Management of the Living Filter system is provided by the Wastewater Management Committee, a multi-discipline committee made up of researchers from across the University, as well as representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Research completed by this Committee is transmitted via trade journals and research publications to advance the knowledge base on wastewater treatment plant processes and land application systems.\nPhoto 5. Living Filter Signage\nPhotos 6 and 7. Land application of treated waste water\nUsing Reclaimed Water\nTo further promote the sustainable use of water, the University has developed a master plan for the future implementation of a reclaimed water system for the University Park Campus. This reclaimed water system would take a portion of the treated effluent from the WWTP and make it available for appropriate water uses on campus. It is estimated that strategically using reclaimed water on campus could reduce groundwater withdrawals by 300,000 to 500,000 gallons per day. Sewage facilities planning and permitting has been completed for the system, and installation of portions of the reclaimed water distribution system has begun as opportunities present themselves. Targeted uses for the future reclaimed water system include toilet flushing, irrigation, vehicle washing, non-potable washdown and laundry. When viable, interior plumbing systems of new or renovated buildings on campus are being installed in a manner to facilitate the use of reclaimed water when it becomes available.\nThe University is currently undergoing the design and construction of a major capital upgrade to the existing WWTP. Sewage facilities planning for these upgrades was approved in March 2018 by the Centre Region Council of Governments through an Act 537 Plan Special Study. Upgrades to the WWTP are needed to renovate and replace aged infrastructure, improve onsite safety and improve the treatment and energy efficiency of the facility. Based on future wastewater flow projections for the University Park Campus, a 3.0 MGD design capacity is recommended for the upgraded WWTP. The upgrades will generally include a complete rebuild of the liquid treatment train utilizing membrane bioreactor technology, and will include improvements to screening, grit removal, flow equalization, disinfection, solids thickening, odor control, and electrical/controls systems. The upgrades to the Penn State WWTP are expected to be complete by 2022.\nAbout the Author: David M.

These belts are used for drives of 1 HP or less. These belts feature molded cog construction, which makes it easier to use these V-belts with sheaves of small diameters. Surfrainbow stocks a vast variety of FHP belts in various specifications. Also, there are matching sheaves in Single and Two A groove, Single and Two B groove, Single A-BTS, Single B-BTS, Two A-Groove –BTS, and Two B groove –BTS descriptions. The efficiency of these belts begin at 93% with small sheaves, and increases as sheave diameters increase. Design and improved efficiency of these FHP V-belts help users achieve high power requirements with low HP drives. Goodyear FHP V-belts run longer and smoother with improved energy efficiency than most other non-cogged V-belts in the market.\nBeneficial Features of FHP V-Belts\nThe V-belts are valued and preferred in many industrial applications due to their following features:\n- High tensile Vytacord construction helps improve dimensional stability.\n- Ozone, oil, and abrasion resistant backing ensures trouble-free operation.\n- Engineered rubber construction helps ensure maximum flexibility.\n- Molded cog construction helps improve heat dissipation, which improves air flow during the operation. This helps reduce the internal temperature, and improves the belt life.\n- Low cross section vibration in FHP-V belts with cogged construction helps reduce noise generation. This allows users take advantage of Goodyear FHP V-belts longer than other standard belts available in the market.\nTypes of Fractional FHP V-Belts Provided by Surfrainbow\nThe following are some of the popular types of FHP V-belts provided by Surfrainbow:\n- 2L FHP V-Belts: These V-belts are provided in the range of 12ʺ-240 ʺ.\n- 3L FHP V-Belts: The V-belts are manufactured in the range of 12ʺ-240 ʺ.\n- 4L FHP V-Belts: These V-belts are manufactured in the range of 15 ʺ-240 ʺ.\n- 5L FHP V-Belts: The FHP V-belts are available in the range of 22ʺ-550ʺ.\nApplications of FHP V-Belts\nThe molded cogged FHP-V belts are used for various applications.

Extensive training and following crane safety standards creates a better working environment for workers and anyone around the worksite. Below is a list of common crane hazards and preventative measures you can take to create a safer work area:\n- Being aware of electrical lines is critical when operating a crane. The metal in the crane is an excellent conductor and can cause a fatal electrocution if accidentally hit against electrical lines\n- Material lifted with a crane has the potential of falling off even after it has been secured Employees below crane should avoid working in the area and wear hard hats along with other appropriate PPE\n- Although cranes can lift an astounding amount of weight, it is important for crane operator to know the weight limit of each crane. Crane operators and loaders should also keep track of how much weight is being added or removed to avoid overloading\n- When cranes twist or move to get the load where it needs to go, it create pinch or crush points where someone could be seriously injured. It is important to be cautious of surroundings when moving a load to avoid accidental injury to those around\n- Crane operators should make sure area is cleared when dropping a load to avoid crushing objects or injuring someone. Some loads are heavy enough to crush vehicles so it is important to remember to never work under a crane load, even with PPE\n- Requiring workers to wear a hard hat at all times ensures they are safe if material falls from a crane load. You can’t predict when this will happen, but you can prepare for it.\n- Providing workers with eye protections prevents them from having temporary blindness caused by dust or debris\n- Hand protection keeps workers safe from pinches or being crushed\nUsing a crane is hazardous, but with crane safety implementation and proper training, workers are able to operate them with confidence and reduce the possibility of injury drastically.\nAt Nova Medical Centers we specialize in occupational health.

Without this you don’t have a resource.\n- A transfer medium. Required to transfer the heat; this is usually water.\n- A rock environment. With enough porosity to move the heat through.\nIn the simplest terms, if a geothermal energy developer can move enough water through hot, fractures, or porous rock, he or she can use that heat to power a turbine – and, therefore, has a potential power project. Seems simple enough, right? But, what if this incredible heat source is trapped in solid rock? One can’t economically move heat out of a solid rock thousands of meters underground. So, should such a developer simply walk away from the potential project or work to improve the situation?\nThe oil and gas industry has a similar problem with getting precious oil and gas resources out of tight formations. They knew these energy resources were in certain rock but, at first, couldn’t feasibly or economically recover it. However, there was a solution. Fluid-driven fractures could be formed at depth in the oilfield borehole and extended into targeted aquifer formations. Frac’ing or Fracking technology significantly increased the surface area to recover the petroleum resources, and is now commonly used by the oil and gas industry to access “unconventional” natural gas deposits trapped in shale, coalbed, and tight-sand formations. Add in the ability to drill horizontally within the right formation and the oil and gas industry exponentially improved petroleum recovery in that formation.\nEven for the geothermal industry, the cat is already out of the bag. Many geothermal energy developers have already begun to see the potential of similiar technology. Projects in Soultz France, Cooper Basin, Australia, and Newberry, in the US have all used pressured fluids to increase permeability and to increase heat recovery. In hard-rock and volcanic environments, man-made hydraulic fractures use internal fluid pressure to help open pre-existing weakness in the rock structure. The new fracture is then typically maintained by introducing a proppant (such as sand, ceramic, or particulates) into the injected fluid.\nProjects that were once left economically wanting now have the potential for increased profitability. And, those in the renewable energy industry understand that slight improvement could take a project into the realm of financial viable.\nThis technology is not without its’ detractors, however. Environmental and community groups have brought some of the technology’s downfalls into the public spotlight. Fresh water contamination, induced seismicity, and the toxic nature of some fracking fluids are just some of the concerns. To continue to be part of a clean energy solution for our planet, the geothermal energy developers adopting this technology need to closely monitor and responsibly deal with any and all concerns, real or imagined. The industry needs to ensure that any individual fracking program does leave a “black eye” on the geothermal industry as a whole.\nAt the core, our planet is over 5,000°C and is approximately 6.3km thick and continues to produce vast amounts of heat. To put this in perspective; the heat stored in the only the top 3 km of the continental crust is equivalent to the energy consumed by mankind for some 100,000 years at the present rate. At a depth of 10km, the heat in the of the earth’s crust contains 50,000 times as much energy as found in all the world’s oil and gas reserves combined. In 2007, a US Department of Energy sponsored study, completed by independent experts led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), concluded that geothermal energy could provide 100,000 MWe or more in 50 years by using advanced EGS (enhanced geothermal energy) technology.\nThe problem is clearly not a lack of heat (we have billions of years of heat available), it is getting that heat out of the ground cost effectively. The more the industry can research and test this technology in geothermal applications, the more this technology can be implementing to improve the economics and decrease the project risks of geothermal energy development. Love it or hate it, fracking technology has the potential to forever change how the geothermal energy industry extracts its’ heat resource.\nThis article was written for North America Clean Energy Magazine for November 2010\nAuthor: Craig Dunn is pioneer in geothermal energy exploration and development initiatives in Canada, with expertise in the industry’s efforts on developing high – temperature geothermal energy from untapped resources.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

A central player in this motion machinery is the joint. Joints connect bones, facilitate movement, and provide mechanical support. Understanding the classification of joints is essential for fields like medicine, sports, physiotherapy, and basic human anatomy.\nLet’s delve into the various types of joints present in the human body and their intricate classifications.\nWhat is a Joint?\nBefore diving into classifications, it’s essential to understand what a joint is. A joint, or articulation, is the location at which two bones connect. Joints not only allow movement but also provide stability. The manner in which joints allow motion, or restrict it, varies according to their type and structure.\nClassification of Joints:\nThe classification of joints can be based on either their functional properties (how much movement they allow) or structural properties (based on the material present in the joint). Let’s explore both:\n1. Functional Classification of Joints\nBased on the functional viewpoint, joints are categorized into three primary types:\n- Synarthroses (Immovable Joints)\n- These joints permit minimal or no movement.\n- Most common in the skull.\n- Examples include sutures in the skull bones.\n- Amphiarthroses (Slightly Movable Joints)\n- These joints allow a limited degree of movement.\n- Typically found between vertebrae and between certain bones in the pelvis.\n- Examples include the intervertebral discs between spinal vertebrae and the pubic symphysis.\n- Diarthroses (Freely Movable Joints)\n- As the name suggests, these joints allow a wide range of movements.\n- Found in the appendicular skeleton (limbs).\n- Examples include the shoulder, hip, and knee joints.\n2. Structural Classification of Joints\nStructural classification hinges on the type of connective tissue present and whether or not there is a joint cavity:\n- Fibrous Joints\n- Held together by fibrous connective tissue.\n- No joint cavity.\n- Movement is either absent or limited.\n- Types of fibrous joints include:\n- Sutures: Restricted to skull bones. Edges of bones are interlocked and bound together by dense fibrous connective tissue. Over time, they may ossify, turning into synostoses.\n- Syndesmoses: Bones are connected by a ligament. An example is the distal end of the tibia and fibula.\n- Gomphoses: A peg-in-socket fibrous joint. The only example in the body is the connection between a tooth and its socket in the jaw.\n- Cartilaginous Joints\n- Bones are connected by cartilage.\n- No joint cavity.\n- Two types of cartilaginous joints exist:\n- Synchondroses: Joined by hyaline cartilage. An example is the epiphyseal plate in children, where growth occurs.\n- Symphyses: Joined by fibrocartilage. The intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis are classic examples.\n- Synovial Joints\n- These joints have a unique feature: the joint cavity.\n- The bones forming the joint are separated by a fluid-containing cavity, allowing free movement.\n- Characteristics of synovial joints:\n- Articular cartilage: It covers the ends of the bones and provides a smooth surface.\n- Joint (synovial) cavity: A small space containing lubricating synovial fluid.\n- Articular capsule: Surrounds the joint cavity and is made up of an outer fibrous layer and an inner synovial membrane.\n- Synovial fluid: Lubricates and nourishes the joint.\n- Reinforcing ligaments: Strengthen and support the joint.\n- Types of synovial joints based on shapes and movement:\n- Plane Joints: Flat articular surfaces that allow sliding and translational movements. Found between the carpal bones of the wrist.\n- Hinge Joints: Cylindrical projections of one bone fit into a trough of another bone. Movement is uniaxial like a door hinge. Examples include the elbow and ankle.\n- Pivot Joints: A rounded bone end pivots within a sleeve or ring composed of bone and ligaments. Found in the proximal radioulnar joint.\n- Condylar (or ellipsoidal) Joints: The oval articular surface of one bone fits into the complementary depression of another. Allows biaxial movement. Found between metacarpals and phalanges.\n- Saddle Joints: Both articular surfaces have concave and convex regions resembling a saddle. Found in the thumb (between the trapezium and the first metacarpal).\n- Ball-and-Socket Joints: The spherical head of one bone fits into the cup-like socket of another. These allow multiaxial movement. Examples include the hip and shoulder joints.\nUnderstanding the classification of joints provides invaluable insights into human biomechanics, rehabilitation science, and orthopedics. The diversity of joints, from the immobile sutures of the skull to the dynamic ball-and-socket joints of the hip and shoulder, demonstrates the incredible versatility and complexity of the human body. With advancements in medicine, our comprehension of these joints will only deepen, leading to better treatment modalities and a greater appreciation of human anatomy.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

However, fire is a vengeful servant to humanity – when left unsupervised, it will spread and raze all that stands in its path, reducing it to ash. Luckily for us, advances in our understanding of fire and improvements in our engineering abilities have provided us with the ability to stop the majority of fires before they can destroy what we have built so carefully.\nThe first recorded fire sprinkler system was designed in the 15th century by Leonardo Da Vinci, built to extinguish an elaborate banquet hall in the case of a fire. In a comical display of Murphy’s law, everything went haywire, and a fire broke out in the kitchen. The sprinkler system worked all too well, causing a flood that washed away the food along with a sizeable portion of the kitchen. \nAs with all inventions, the passage of time led to many improvements in fire sprinkler systems. With the advent of large scale manufacturing plants in the Industrial Revolution, the use of perforated water pipes became commonplace.  While these were effective, there was still plenty of room for improvement. There was no method of automation or localization–if nobody was there when the fire started, the system would not activate, and when it was activated, the entire factory would be sprayed with water, not just the area where the fire occurred, causing additional damage.\nOne of the most notable advances in sprinkler systems was covering the perforations with melting tar, which allowed water to spray in only the areas where the fire was, reducing water damage.  Although tar was replaced with different materials in future iterations, the concept of heat based actuation, or using the fire’s heat to activate the flow of water, has persisted to the modern day.\nToday’s advanced fire suppression systems solve the problems of their predecessors using our increased understanding of fire science and engineering. The modern fire sprinkler consists of a pressurized valve that is held back by a heat-activated operating element. The element consists of a thin, hermetically sealed glass tube filled with a liquid that expands greatly when exposed to the heat of a fire. When the liquid expands, the glass shatters, releasing the valve and causing fluid to flow out at high pressure. The fluid impacts a metal distribution deflector, which is specially shaped to evenly distribute water droplets over the fire in a predetermined pattern.  Multiple sprinkler heads are placed optimally to maximize coverage and minimize the risk of fire spread. These systems are incredibly effective, activating successfully in 91% of fires and extinguishing fires 96% of the time they activate. \nTheir passive, independent design allows modern fire sprinkler systems to be extremely robust, reliable, and adaptable. If a single sprinkler head fails, the others remain unaffected. The fluid released by the sprinkler is either water, which is suitable in most cases, or foam, which is used in the case of flammable liquid fires. The liquid in the operating element comes in different colors, where each color represents a different threshold temperature. The distribution deflector can be altered to spray fluid in a given direction, allowing sprinkler heads to be placed in different orientations and extinguish fires in hard to reach areas.\nRecent advances in technology could result in even more capable fire sprinkler systems. With computers and electronics growing increasingly compact and cost-effective, it may soon become practical to develop a fire sprinkler system that utilizes thermal imaging and object detection algorithms to more accurately extinguish fires and minimize water damage. This may be especially useful in sensitive applications such as in data centers with delicate electronics. For example, when a fire is detected via a thermal camera, the sprinkler would determine the exact position of the fire and spray water directly at the fire rather than dousing the general area and destroying sensitive equipment.\nAnother potential improvement could be internet connected fire sprinkler systems. When a fire is detected, a smart sprinkler system could relay important data about the fire to the local fire department, giving them crucial information such as the exact location of the fire and people in the building. In the rare case that the suppression system is unable to subdue the fire, this technology could reduce response time, allowing firefighters to save more valuable lives.\nAdvancements in artificial intelligence and statistical data analysis techniques could also allow fire suppression systems to predict the occurrence of fires, leading to faster actuation times and minimized damage. For example, predictive software could monitor a building’s electrical systems and detect current spikes that would lead to fires occurring.  This way, the sprinkler system could be activated when a fire is in its earlier stages rather than when it is hot enough to activate the conventional operating element, further minimizing damage.\nWith brilliant engineers and scientists working each day to improve fire sprinkler systems, the risk of property damage and loss of life from fire is reducing. There may soon come a day when automatic fire suppression systems have advanced to such a degree that there will no longer be a need for human intervention–a remarkable achievement, as firefighters will no longer have to risk their lives entering burning buildings.\n1. “Fire – Definition, Examples, Related Words and More at Wordnik.” Wordnik.com, www.wordnik.com/words/fire.\n2.

Here we calculate these concepts for solid objects by integrating the equations for a particle across the whole object.\nAs seen in the Angular Velocity of particle section, angular velocity depends on the point that we are measuring the rotation about. So for a solid object, the angular velocity of all the particles, from which it is composed, are different.\nOnly when we are measuring the rotation about the centre of rotation is the rotation of all points on the object the same. So, for that reason, when we are talking about the angular velocity of a solid object we mean the angular velocity about its centre of rotation.\nIf an object is moving in free space, with no external forces or torques acting on it, then it will rotate about its centre-of-mass. So we can represent the total instantaneous motion of a rigid body by a combination of the linear velocity of its centre of mass and its rotation about its centre of mass.\nIn the pages about kinematics the position of an unconstrained rigid body was represented by 6 dimensional vector as follows:\n|wx||angular velocity the about x axis (radians per second)|\n|wy||angular velocity the about x axis (radians per second)|\n|wz||angular velocity the about x axis (radians per second)|\n|vx||linear velocity of centre of mass along x axis (metres per second)|\n|vy||linear velocity of centre of mass along y axis (metres per second)|\n|vz||linear velocity of centre of mass along z axis (metres per second)|\nFurther information about angular velocity.\nAs we saw here, the instantaneous angular momentum of a particle, about a given point) is the product of its mass and its angular velocity.\nFor a solid object, its angular momentum about a given point, is the integral of the instantaneous angular momentums of all the particles across the volume\nH=∫( r × v )dm\n|H||the instantaneous angular momentum about PC||bivector||kg m2/s|\n|×||the cross product operator(see here for definition)|\n|r||the instantaneous position of the particle relative to point -||vector||m|\n|p||the instantaneous linear momentum of the particle = m v||vector||kg m/s|\n|dm||the mass of the particle.||scalar||kg|\nAs with angular velocity, the angular momentum of a point is not an absolute value, but it depends on which point that the rotation is measured about. However, since Angular Momentums can be added (provided they are about the same point) then it is possible to give the angular momentum of a rigid body about any point.\nAs discussed here, angular momentum of any closed system is conserved.\nSo for a rigid body, rotating about its centre of mass, then the angular momentum of the whole system (about any point) is conserved.\nIf a system has objects which have linear velocity, along a line offset from the point about which the momentum is measured, then this will contribute to the systems angular momentum, event if the object is not rotating. This is because the cross product x is not zero.\nThe angular momentum about any point is the angular momentum about the centre of mass, plus the angular momentum associated with the motion of the centre of mass about .\nThe instantaneous position and the instantaneous momentum will defines the status of a solid object. If we also know constants for the object such as its shape and inertia tensor matrix, and we know all the forces acting on the object, then we can predict its future states.\n|θx||angle about x|\n|θy||angle about y|\n|θz||angle about z|\n|Px||position of centre of mass along x axis|\n|Py||position of centre of mass along y axis|\n|Pz||position of centre of mass along z axis|\n|lx||angular momentum about x|\n|ly||angular momentum about y|\n|lz||angular momentum about z|\n|mvx||momentum along x axis|\n|mvy||momentum along y axis|\n|mvz||momentum along z axis|\nAs seen in the Angular Acceleration of particle section, angular acceleration depends on the point that we are measuring the rotation about. So for a solid object, the angular acceleration of all the particles, from which it is composed, are different.\nAs for angular rotation, the angular acceleration, about the centre of rotation, for all points on the object will be the same. So, for that reason, when we are talking about the angular acceleration of a solid object we mean the angular acceleration about its centre of rotation. This will be the rate of change of angular velocity =d / dt. When measured from the centre of rotation the centrifugal angular acceleration is zero.\nWe can represent the total instantaneous acceleration of a rigid body by a combination of the linear acceleration of its centre of mass and its acceleration about its centre of mass.\nA torque is a turning force. It is applied to a rigid object, by two equal and opposite forces, which are offset.\nThe total torque about a point is the force times its perpendicular distance from the centre of rotation, summed for all points\nIf we apply a force to a free floating solid body then, there is an equal and opposite force acting on the centre of mass of the object. If these forces are offset then a torque exists. So a single applied force can produce both, a linear and rotational movement.\nSo, if a system of forces are applied to a solid object then, they can be replaced by an equivalent linear force on the centre of mass plus, a torque about the centre of mass.\nAs we saw here that, for a particle:\nSo integrate these across a solid volume gives:\nThese terms are calculated in the frame of reference of the object itself. If the object is rotating and if we want to work in an absolute frame-of-reference then, we need to translate these terms to the absolute frame-of-reference. This will then mean that these terms are varying with time (in the frame of reference of the object they are constant).\nSo the equations for rotation are a lot more complicated than linier motion because torque in one dimention can cause angular acceleration in another dimention. However, it turns out that is always possible to choose a local coordinate system where the inertia matrix is diagonal:\nSo should we assume that all VRML shapes are defined in a local coordinate system where this is true? well Box, Sphere, Cylinder and Cone will be, but I dont thing that we can assume that IFS, Extrude, ElivationGrid are. We could make sure that we define the points in the IFS so that it is, but I am not sure that we can impose that restriction.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}

Wil Hezlep and Chloe Thue were in charge of finding his story. They found it using the microfilm of the Parkers Prairie Independent. Of particular interest was his obituary, published on January 12, 1961.\nGustave was born, raised, and married in Glencoe. His wife, Amelia, moved with him to Parkers Prairie in 1903. His elevator was indeed the first one built in town, using lumber hauled from Henning by wagon. The timing was perfect. The railroad came through shortly thereafter. His elevator was ready and full. Twelve years later her partnered with Math Kraemer and they dismantled his original elevator and moved it to Goodrich. Then the partners bought the Prairie Elevator.\nThey later built a Philip's 66 Station on Highway 29 and the Feed Mill. Shoutz was a busy man, later owning and operating elevator in Westbury, Minnesota and Bridger, Montana. At age 71, he sold his share of the elevator and service station to his partner and settled into retirement. He enjoyed life in Parkers Prairie for the next twenty years.\nSo why did our search prior fail? Well, Mr. Shoutz was buried not here in Parkers, but in Buffalo Lake, where he and his wife had lived in the earlier years of their marriage.\nThe elevator (actually, there were a few at one point earlier in the century) was crucial for farms in the area to get their products to the market in the railroad era. The importance of local elevators cannot be underestimated. Shoutz and Kraemer deserve a lot of credit for their entrepreneurial spirit and contributions to commerce in the bygone days of Parkers Prairie.", "domain": "mechanical_engineering"}
