Yet, the school’s aging facility is now 70 years old at its core, and the wear from all those decades is showing. 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.
At 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.
Following 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.
The 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.
Except 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.
HVAC 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.
Once 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.
Another 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.
Overall, plumbing work at the school is responsible for about half of the dollars spent on like problems system-wide, said Bryant.
Another 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.
To 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.
Sandwiched 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.
The 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.”
Still, Wright notes, the gym has no storage, no offices for coaches, and little room for teams to sit courtside.
“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.”
Emergency 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.
A 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.
“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.”
“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.” | mechanical_engineering |

- The machine reduces ache sensitivity in rat fashions of sciatic nerve damage, providing a non-opioid different for ache aid.
- The researchers say that extra analysis is required earlier than the machine can enter human trials.
Though opioids carry a excessive danger for abuse, because of their
Analysis, nevertheless, exhibits that 21- 29% of sufferers prescribed opioids for persistent ache misuse them. In the meantime, opioid misuse following surgical procedure happens in as much as
In 2021, the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention (CDC) recorded an estimated
The event of latest non-addictive ache medicines may assist curb opioid misuse.
Lately, researchers developed a small, biocompatible implant machine that wraps round nerves and relieves ache by cooling them down.
“The machine bodily resembles a rubber band, however with capabilities in cooling focused areas of peripheral nerves to dam the propagation of ache indicators,” Dr. John A. Rogers, professor of supplies science and engineering, biomedical engineering and neurological surgical procedure at Northwestern College, and lead creator of the examine, informed Medical Information Immediately.
“The supplies naturally resorb into the physique after a interval of use, timed to handle [the] ache that sufferers expertise throughout restoration from a surgery,” he mentioned.
The examine seems in Science.
Research point out that native cooling of peripheral nerves to beneath 15 levels Celsius blocks neural signaling. Different research have proven how the effectiveness of nerve cooling might be improved as a doubtlessly non-addictive, reversible methodology for long-term ache aid.
Nonetheless, present units to chill nerves depend on inflexible, cumbersome methods which might be unable to offer localized cooling.
Within the present examine, researchers created a brand new nerve-cooling machine. Resembling a rubber band, it really works by wrapping round particular person nerves to chill them down.
The machine works by way of microfluidic channels: one containing liquid coolant referred to as perfluoropentane and one other, dry nitrogen, an inert gasoline. Cooling occurs when the liquid and gasoline stream right into a shared chamber, the place they react and trigger the liquid to evaporate.
All of the whereas, a tiny built-in sensor screens the temperature of the nerve to make sure it doesn’t get too chilly, which may result in nerve and tissue harm.
Because the machine is constructed from water-soluble and biocompatible supplies, together with
The researchers examined the machine in a freely-moving rat mannequin of sciatic nerve damage.
Cooling nerves from 33 levels to 4 levels Celsius over a 15-minute interval decreased sign amplitude by 77% and slowed indicators by 97%.
Each amplitude and velocity of signaling returned to 97% of their preliminary values after rewarming to physique temperature over 3 minutes.
Three weeks following implantation, they discovered that cooling the nerve from 37 levels to 10 levels Celsius led to a sevenfold discount within the rating of the rat’s ache sensitivity.
The researchers reported proof of bioresorption of the machine from histologic analyses after 1, 2, 3, and 6 months of implantation.
The researchers concluded that their nerve cooling machine offers a basis for a category of implantable cooling methods for nonopioid ache administration.
They word that it could possibly be notably helpful for post-operative ache and that surgeons may connect the machine to affected nerves through the process.
Dr. Vafi Salmasi, ache medication assistant professor at Stanford College College of Medication, who was not concerned within the examine, informed MNT that the brand new expertise has 4 exceptional benefits that may “definitely change” the remedy of post-operative ache:
- It may be implanted through the surgical procedure with no extra interventions.
- It wants minimal to no upkeep
- It doubtlessly has a really low to no danger of an infection
- It’s bio-absorbable and doesn’t have to be eliminated later.
Dr. Kai Yu, senior investigator on the Division of Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon College, who was additionally not concerned within the examine, informed MNT that the machine and expertise had been promising.
“Based mostly on these information, this machine offers an efficient, quick, and exact resolution for native and on-demand ache aid, which is definitely non-addictive and promising to interchange the postoperative opioid remedy in some eventualities.”
— Dr. Kai Yu
He added that whereas he’s very excited in regards to the work, its profitable software “depends on clear anatomy of remoted nerves which might be liable for transmitting ache indicators.”
The machine is thus restricted for post-operative ache from surgical procedures that contain direct nerve publicity.
“It’s nonetheless a grand problem to raised handle acute and persistent ache that isn’t native, or not nicely outlined within the nervous system. Many kinds of ache present such options,” defined Dr. Yu.
Dr. Rogers famous that whereas the engineering features of the machine are full, it’s nonetheless within the early phases of improvement.
“We are actually focusing extra of our consideration on long-term results of the cooling on the nerves by way of extra animal mannequin research. We hope, in a number of years, to start evaluations in people,” he mentioned. | mechanical_engineering |

Design-engineering bureau company "Biruza" (after rebranding – DALID, LLC) has successfully completed the project “Onyx waterfall with two types of dynamically lit systems”, in the interior of the private family residence in Concha Zaspa town, Kiev region.
Project goals and objectives
To create "an engineering marvel" in the form of interior waterfall and to fit it in harmoniously fit with the private family residence interior.
Key wishes of the Customer
- maximal product exclusivity;
- natural materials for the waterfall working area;
- innovative implementations in dynamic lightning and LED optics;
- harmonious product merging with the family residence interior;
- overall dimensions of waterfall 4600x4600 mm;
- automatic water installation system of waterfall, which includes draining, filling up, water level maintaining, water filtration, disinfection, water conditioning and purification;
- remote control;
- maximum service lifetime of the product (at least 20 years).
11 months taking into account related works performed by Customer (stained-glass windows, floor).
- waterfall dimensions including the upper and lower boxes – 4600x4600 mm;
- dimensions of the visible part made of onyx 4500x3900 mm;
- the lower box facing — marble;
- the upper box facing and decorative vertical struts — composite mirror gold;
- waterfall working area — onyx marble, “transmission-mode”.
The equipment of water installation system
- automatic water installation system of waterfall, which includes draining, filling up, water level maintaining, water filtration, disinfection, water conditioning and purification, based on reverse osmosis equipment (for distilled water);
- system of pressure waterfalls;
- automatic system of adjustment of water flow.
The first dynamically lit system of waterfall
Parallel to the working area made of onyx, on the back side, over the whole plain face 4600x4000mm there is a mounted matrix consisted of 2240 LED modules of white light which provide an opportunity to the back transparency for the whole waterfall structure. The system is equipped with a programmable industrial controller, power supply and remote control.
Due to the onyx marble property to scatter gently the light flux of the light source placed behind it, we have achieved a holistic transparency effect of onyx construction. While illuminating from the backside with light-emitting diodes, white light appears to be born from the stone structure and gets a nice light honey color.
Each of the 2,240 LEDs is controlled by programs from the controller. Alternating sequence of switching on and off accordingly by program, you can receive a variety of lighting effects.
We have programmed the controller for three dynamically lit programs with the ability to adjust their intensity with the help of the remote control. The first program is a light wave moving from top to bottom over the waterfall plane. The second one is a light rain. The third one is the stars appearance (there was used a method of random numbers).
The second dynamically lit system of waterfall
The second dynamically lit system of waterfall is built with the use of RGB- directed LED optics. The function of this system is a color lit, directed, facade lighting of onyx.
The system is equipped with its own controller, power supply and remote control. With the help of the remote control the user can set any color (blue, green, red, etc.) or run one out of 10 dynamic color lightning effects.

Puttin’ on the Ritz in Suzuki’s Agile Splash 1.2 GL for 2015
Quirky but fun
One product, three names: It’s Ritz in India, Opel (or Vauxhall) Agila in Europe and the UK and Splash everywhere else.
It was launched in 2008 as a joint venture with Opel (GM still owned three percent of Suzuki back then) and used various engines; Opel’s 1.0-litre three-pot, its 1229 cc four-cylinder, or a Fiat 1300 diesel. The General was in co-operation agreements with both parties back then.
The 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.
They 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.
Then 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.
What 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.
A 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.
The 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.
Storage 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.
Other 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.
Because 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.
Even 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.
Although 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.

Do you find yourself replacing cassettes because a few of the sprockets are worn, while the rest are still in perfect condition then these cassettes are for you! Not only can you select the ratio that suits you, so you use the whole range rather than focusing on one or two sprockets, but those you do choose will be more hard-wearing. 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.
The 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.
We 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.
Sadly, it looks like Marchisio Engineering are no longer in business, so there will be no more of these made. We don't expect this to become an issue, given the durability of the items we have, but it does mean we are now one of only a handful of places you can source these very special pieces of componentry.
Large sprocket (21 to 28, 30-tooth) £10.00
Intermediate sprockets (12 to 30-tooth)£7.50
Smallest sprocket (11 to 18-tooth)£7.50
8-speed cassette (your choice of range)£60.00
**Buy 2 cassettes and save 10%!**
Sprockets are supplied with appropriate spacers (please advise what speed your cassette is), and full cassettes also include the appropriate lockring. We can supply both Shimano and Campagnolo-fit, if you're unsure which you have, we'll be happy to help you identify.
If you would like to order, or have any questions about the Marchisio range, please get in touch | mechanical_engineering |

with Neptune DXP
Challenge: Frictionless execution of maintenance operations
As a leading manufacturer of high-quality machinery and equipment for the tobacco industry, Hauni (part of Koerber Group) operates in a challenging market segment. Technical innovations and outstanding customer service is what sets them apart from the competition. Excellent customer service is especially needed to promote spare parts sales but also to showcase Hauni’s added value with their factory customer service in comparison to companies’ internal maintenance teams.
The frictionless execution of maintenance operations and downstream commercial processes is a must. The availability of all relevant data on-site, as well as the digital reporting by the technicians, is a major IT requirement to ensure optimal customer service.
“Since we are very close to the standard in SAP CS, we could have based all our service processes on standard software. However, the surrounding systems and modules are very specialized within our company. The time recording, for example, runs against SAP CS to invoice services, but is also documented in SAP HR for the actual recording of working times,” Hilker continues.
When implementing these requirements, Hauni focused on process stability towards the customer to ensure a complaint-free invoice. Convenience for the technicians was also a key requirement for the reporting application.

“For us, Neptune Software was the ideal compromise between the use of the actual SAP standard and a fallback to proprietary front-end technology … Today, we use over 100 Neptune Software Fiori applications across all modules and have a wealth of internal experience.”
-Mr. Hütköper, App Design Manager at Hauni

Let’s explore the key milestones in the evolution of slot machines.
1. The Birth of the Slot Machine:
- 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.
2. Early Innovations:
- 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.
3. Electromechanical Era:
- 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.
4. The Digital Revolution:
- 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.
5. Online Slots Take Center Stage:
- 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.
6. Advancements in Technology:
- 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.
7. Introduction of 3D and VR Slots:
- 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.
8. Integration of Skill-Based Elements:
- 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.
From 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. | mechanical_engineering |

About 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.
These 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.

Liberty Property’s existing 141,000-square-foot built-up roof (BUR) had outlived its usefulness. 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.
Because 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.
For 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.
Tear 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.
After 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.
During 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.
Liberty 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.”
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Mitsubishi 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.
Wilson Warehouse – Baton Rouge, LA
A 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.
Sterigentics 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.
After 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. | 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. [ . . . ]
The 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.
A 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.
Of 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.

Vehicle Stability Control, commonly known as VSC, is an electronic system incorporated in modern cars like Lexus that helps in maintaining traction, stability, and control of the vehicle on the road. 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.
When 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.
When 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.
When 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.
In 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.
Signs that indicate your Lexus’ VSC system needs to be fixed
The 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.
As 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.

- 3 3. Slower Acceleration
- 4 4. Unusual sounds and vibrations
- 5 1. Common causes of VSC malfunctions
- 6 2. Estimated cost of repairing VSC on a Lexus
- 7 3. Should you DIY or take it to a mechanic?
- 8 In conclusion
- 9 1. Check Reviews Online
- 10 2. Look for Certification
- 11 3. Inquire About Warranty
- 12 4. Visit the Facility
- 13 1. Regular Maintenance
- 14 2. Good Driving Habits
- 15 3. Avoid Overload
- 16 4. Quality Parts
- 17 5. Keep The Sensors Clean
1. Warning Light is On
The 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.
2. Unsteady Steering Wheel
Another 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.
The 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.
3. Slower Acceleration
If 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.
4. Unusual sounds and vibrations
If 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.
In 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.
Cost estimates for repairing VSC on a Lexus
If 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.
If 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.
1. Common causes of VSC malfunctions
Before 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
2. Estimated cost of repairing VSC on a Lexus
The 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:
- Abs sensor replacement: $100-$200
- Steering angle sensor replacement: $200-$300
- Brake fluid replacement: $50-$100
- VSC actuator replacement: $800-$1,200
3. Should you DIY or take it to a mechanic?
While 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.
It 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.
Having 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.
How to find a trustworthy mechanic for VSC repairs on your Lexus
When 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).

1. Check Reviews Online
One 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.
2. Look for Certification
A 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.
3. Inquire About Warranty
Repairing 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.
4. Visit the Facility
Before 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.
In 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.
Preventative measures to keep your Lexus’ VSC system functioning properly
If 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.
1. Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your VSC system functioning properly.
It 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.
2. Good Driving Habits
Your 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.
3. Avoid Overload
Overloading 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.
4. Quality Parts
If 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.
5. Keep The Sensors Clean
One 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.
Gone 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. | mechanical_engineering |

The vacuum method for drying wood was developed in Europe but, partly due to the cost of the equipment, it is relatively uncommon in North America. Cedarland was a pioneer in bringing vacuum kilns to this part of the world.
The 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.
The 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. Cedarland vacuum kilns are suited to smaller charges and drying of specialty products. | mechanical_engineering |

What is this?
This is the accessory screw port. This has been a feature on Manfrotto tripods all the way back to when they were called Bogen. It is basically a 3/8 screw hole that allows you to add a strap, add accessory arms or attach loops and other things to the tripod easily. This is available on all the current MT190XPRO and MT055XPRO tripods. There is a rubber cover to protect the threads and center column workings from debris.
The current accessory screw port has notch int he top and bottom that allows for the use of an non-rotating arm. The previous 190 and 055 tripods can accept the arms, though they may rotate and flop about if the arm is twisted or set at the wrong angle. We do not recommend the AR versions for the older tripods. You can find more info about the arms on the page listed below.
The Manfrotto OffRoad gear is a series of lightweight walking sticks, tripods and huge backpacks that are great for the outdoors. Not just for photographers, but for any serious hiker. But you can tell they were designed by photographers.
The backpacks are large, and while they have a compartment with padded dividers on the bottom for camera gear, the top area is large enough for your camping essentials. Easily able to accommodate a change of clothes, food for a few days, stove, camera 2 lenses and loads of other stuff!
The walking sticks are adjustable in height and are able to be taken apart for proper cleaning. 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).
There 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.
Available in Red, Green and Blue; the OFFROAD gear is easy to see and use.
Right now all OffRoad Waking Sticks include a FREE mobile phone adapter, so you can use the sticks with most cameras or mobile phones. | mechanical_engineering |

And to make sure your investment lasts as long as possible, it’s a good idea to protect it. One way to do that is to keep it cool during operation.
Just as a runner sweats to cool down and avoid injury, a computer uses a fan to maintain a healthy operating temperature for all its parts. However, this internal fan can only do so much, and if the computer continues to run hot, it slows down and runs the risk of sustaining permanent damage.
This is where devices such as our Notebook Cooling Base offer a solution. By slightly raising the machine and positioning a fan in the middle of the device, the Cooling Base allows your laptop’s components to run cooler, therefore increasing the machine’s lifespan and overall speed. It’s a smart, inexpensive way to extend the life of your laptop and it makes a great gift for college students and tech enthusiasts alike.
The Microsoft Notebook Cooling Base comes in black or white and costs $29.95. Visit our product page for more information.

|Titanium is vital for the aerospace industry – to produce a modern aircraft like the Airbus 380 approx 140 tons is needed |
Norsk Titanium AS (NTi) has the vision to simplify the Titanium (Ti) process chain from Ti ore to finished Ti components. 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:
• NTi Technology aims at developing and industrializing a cost effective and environmentally friendly method to produce titanium metal.
• 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.
In both cases we take advantage of Norwegian titanium ore resources, as well as Norwegian competence within electrolysis and material science.
NTi 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.
The main process steps have been succesfully demonstrated and titanium powder has been produced. Preparations for experimental scale-up is ongoing.
|Near net shape couplings to Kvaerner’s Elastopipe fire protection products have been produced by NTi Components|
NTi Components has developed and in the process of industrializing a new technology for efficient production of complex titanium components. The objective is to produce cost effective and near net shape complex titanium components with extensive freedom of design and short lead time. This is achieved through the new and patented technology using plasma transfer arc (PTA) in a fully automated direct metal deposition (DMD) production process.
Currently, the process is being optimized in the second generation pilot line, and the design of the first large-scale production unit has been completed and the production line will be operational by year end 2011. The company has entered into development contracts with large companies within aerospace and offshore industries in order to have the production process, material quality and finished components qualified for the respective industries. NORSOK qualification (approval for supply to the Norwegain Oil and Gas industry) has been received and the aerospace qualification is well under way.
Small scale production of components to fill customer contracts has commenced. NTi Components' technology has proved that production cost of components for the aerospace industry is significantly lower than that for the existing methods. The customer cooperation is very intense and rewarding. | mechanical_engineering |

Better yet, the staff at MAKE are genuinely friendly, enormously helpful and really know what they are doing. There’s a good community vibe about the place, with people happy to share their ideas and experience.
MAKE 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.
You 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.
‘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.
‘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!
As 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.
If 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.
MAKE 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.
It’s a brilliantly supportive way to learn how to use the latest personal manufacturing technologies in a welcoming and helpful environment.
What will you make? The only limit is your imagination.

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.
Amidst 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.
Among 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.
Understanding 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.
To 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:
What CHARIOT offers?
Made 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.
Versatility: 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.
Dual 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.
Low Maintenance: Chariot’s low maintenance makes it a more desirable vehicle for patrolling than the Segway SE3 Patroller.
Sturdy 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.
Public Announcement: Another distinctive feature of the Chariot that distinguishes it from the Segway SE3 Patroller is the public announcement system with a loud siren.
The electric micro-mobility revolution has been underway globally since the early aughts and Cosmic Healer Private Limited has been on forefront since then. It’s important to understand the need of switching from fuel-based vehicles to electric ones. While there are several alternatives available, CHPL offers customized and affordable solutions catering to everyone as per their needs. | mechanical_engineering |

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.
However, 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.
Pardo & 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. Boilers can break down at any time.

Last week, facilities and engineering staff had the opportunity to show off the Miller School’s Central Energy Plant to about 100 utilities experts who probably had an idea how spectacular the state-of-the-art facility is. They were visiting Miami for the 24th annual Campus Energy Conference, “Cleaner Energy, Greener Campus,” sponsored by the International District Energy Association, or IDEA.
The 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:
“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.”
Organized 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.
They 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.
Three 20-cylinder, 2.8-megawatt generators occupy an additional 6,000 square feet.
The 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.
During 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.
Juan 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.
“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.”
Bezos 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.” | mechanical_engineering |

Although it's their largest keyboard yet, it has no numberpad, which clears up desk space and makes for better ergonomics. Just as Rama Works continues to engineer the most premium typing experiences, we wanted to give the U80-A a refined treatment to match.
It is important to the keyboard community to know as much as possible before doubling down on one of these premium products. 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.
Our 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.
The environments are both industrial, elemental, and modern. We chose to strip back all of the distractions to focus on the parts of U80 and the elements that it’s made from.
Todd Hersey came in to refine lighting, texturing, and did some Redshift wizardry to set us up for rendering. After some back and forth tweaking animation and cameras we were ready to send thing off for sound. A big shout out to Joe Philips and Jeremy Schemm from Another Country Detroit as they provided us with a custom track and custom sound library (based off Rama products) to bring this video to life. Last, but not least, a quick shout out to Rick Lundskow for building us some proper GMK keycaps.

It has got a modern day euro style look that adds to the looks of any kitchen or dining space. Its advanced design consists of a heating element and a fan-delayed launch for superior efficiency.
Using Waterwise Water Distiller 9000 is extremely easy. 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.
With 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.
It 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.
As 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. It has been certified that waterwise9000 is quite effective in reduction of TDS (total dissolved salts).

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.
Repairmen 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!
The 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.
In 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.
A 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!
The 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.
A malfunctioning temperature control switch or inlet hose is usually the reason a washer won’t produce cold or hot water.
The most typical dryer issue is strange sounds coming from the appliance. Broken seals, bearings or worn belts often lead to loud noises from dryers.
A 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.
When 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.
The opposite issue is if the dryer won’t turn off. The reason for this particular problem is either a broken timer or door switch.
A 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.

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.
Preventing concrete cracks is all about minimizing the chances of its development in the first place.
As 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.
Previous 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.
You don’t want that. Right?
This 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.
Let’s hop in and see what are the leading causes behind crack development in concrete and what you can do about it.
What Causes of Concrete Cracks?
The most common cause of concrete cracks is drying shrinkage. Concrete, as it sets, has an innate tendency to shrink.
Another 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.
Well, 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.
Not to mention, you’ll be able to take preventative measures to prevent cracks in the first place.
#1. Lack of Sub-Grade Preparation
A 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.
#2. Excess Water in the Concrete Mix
It’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.
#3. Improper Curing
Usually, 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.
So, 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
Preventing Concrete Cracks For A Smooth Surface
Following are some of the factors that play a huge role when it comes to preventing concrete cracks from spreading.
Moreover, taking care of these factors proves to be useful in Preventing Concrete from Cracking in the future.
#1. Depth of the Contraction Joints
Concrete 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.
Extra 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.
NOTE: 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.
#2. Timing of the Joints
Another 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.
Moreover, 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.
It’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.
#3. Proper Sealing of the Joints
Now, 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.
Sealing 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.
NOTE: Apply sealant only after the completion of concrete shrinkage.
#4. Curing of the Concrete
Proper curing can never be ignored. In fact, attempts are made to prolong the curing process by maintaining the moist condition of newly placed concrete.
Continuous 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.
A film of water should remain on the surface throughout the curing process to ensure the durability of the structure.
Well, a professional contractor is indispensable to ensure proper application of all these steps.

During the sametime, thanks to him, the production of raw cotton in America had increased six- to eight-fold.
Ten 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.
The 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.
Meanwhile, 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.
First, 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.
Second, 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.
Third, 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.
Eli 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.
He chose to build his muskets with interchangeable parts. Since any malfunctioning part could easily be replaced, the muskets could be repaired simply and quickly.
He 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.
As 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.
It 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.
[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] | mechanical_engineering |

My driving lessons, from a very young age, began with watching my father look after his vehicle. 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.
Transition 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.
I 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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
You is inter-changeable for the owner, the driver or the owner-driver.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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?
(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.
My 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?
If 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. | mechanical_engineering |

Most people think that scrap metals end up tossed in the landfill. Though they may not be totally wrong because some metals are not reusable.
Nevertheless, 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.
Sorting 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.
Then 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.
Sorting is crucial for industrial manufacturing and can be done in an automated sorting process using magnets and sensors.
The 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.
When 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Unlike 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.
If 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. | mechanical_engineering |

One fundamental part of your AC framework is the condenser unit, answerable for delivering heat and working with the cooling system. After some time, AC condensers might break down or become less effective, provoking the requirement for a substitution. In this article, we will examine when and how to redesign your cooling framework by supplanting your AC condenser.
Section 1: Perceiving the Indications of a Faltering AC Condenser
Prior to plunging into the substitution interaction, it’s pivotal to distinguish the signs that your AC condenser is near the very edge of disappointment. Perceiving these side effects can assist you with forestalling a total breakdown and expected inconvenience during blistering climate.
Diminished Cooling Effectiveness:
On 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.
Warm Air Blowing from Vents:
At 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.
Odd 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.
In 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.
Higher Energy Bills:
A 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.
Section 2: When to Think about AC Condenser Substitution
Whenever 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:
Age of the Framework:
AC 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.
Cost of Fixes:
Ascertain 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.
Fresher 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.
Assuming 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.
Section 3: How to Redesign Your Cooling Framework
At 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:
Counsel an Expert:
Begin 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.
Pick the Right Condenser:
Work 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.
Examine 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.
Pass 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.
When 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.
Partake in the Advantages:
After 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.
Supplanting 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. | mechanical_engineering |

Atlas PC Software offers truly easy calorimetry operation. Configuration of parameters such as reaction temperature, dosing quantities, expected power level (e.g. moderate endotherm; strong exotherm) and alarms (with subsequent actions) are defined in an easy to use wizard. When running the experiment, everything is controlled automatically including stabilization at desired reaction temperature, reagent addition and in the case of HFC, pre and/or post run calibration. No user intervention is required during the entire process. All data is continually logged to a common csv file and displayed by the software in graph format in real time. The software automatically includes the calibration, compensates for the enthalpy of addition and deviations from isothermal conditions. Analysis is made easy by the Atlas Software featuring “single click” plotting of power and enthalpy.
The SFT-110 Supercritical Fluid Extractor (SFE) is an entry level system which possesses many features typically found in more costly SFE equipment. It may be used for a variety of applications from routine analytical work to basic process development. The SFT-110 was developed for people who want to investigate the feasibility of applying supercritical fluid techniques to a wide variety of analytical and processing problems. In addition to its numerous industrial uses, the SFT-110 is well suited to the needs of colleges and universities. It is so affordable that it may be incorporated into teaching laboratories. At the same time, it is capable enough to be used for serious research. The SFT-110 accommodates 10 mL to 100 mL extraction vessels. It may be operated at pressures up to 10,000 psi. (68.9 MPa) and at temperatures ranging from ambient to 200°C. The wide range of vessel volumes available makes the SFT-110 well suited to both analytical scale SFE applications and basic process development work. With a 100 mL vessel, the SFT-110 can extract very low levels of key components from materials and process larger amounts of bulk material than would be possible with smaller, analytical scale SFE equipment. Inside the SFT-110′s oven, a preheater ensures that the temperature of the fluid reaching the extractions vessel is controlled precisely. This is essential to obtaining accurate, repeatable results. | mechanical_engineering |

High Freqency Oscillation (HFO)
High Freqency Ventilation (HFV)
1. Description of the problem
1. General description of the procedure
Most 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).
There 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).
With 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).
Although 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.
2. Mechanism of how HFV works
HFV 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).
With 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.
With 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.
3. Implementing HFO
HFO 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.
The 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.
B. Relative contraindications
Increased 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.
C. Set up: initial ventilator settings
The 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.
Initial frequency at 5 Hz.
FiO2 is 1.0.
Power (piston displacement force) at 5-6 and adjust subsequently to see an obvious “chest wiggle.”
Inspiratory:expiratory ratio at 1:2.
Circuit bias flow at 30-40 L/min to assure CO2 clearance and maintenance of mPaw.
D. Subsequent ventilator settings
To adjust ventilation
To decrease PaCO2
Increase the power setting in single increments.
If power setting is maximal, decrease frequency by increments of 0.5 (this increases tidal volume).
If PaCO2 is still too high, consider deflating the endotracheal tube cuff to facilitate CO2 clearance. Note that this may decrease mPaw and decrease oxygenation.
To increase PaCO2 decrease the power setting in single increments or increase the frequency in 0.5 Hz increments.
To improve oxygenation
As 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:
|Goal: 55 ≤ PaO2 ≤ 80 Goal: 88 ≤ SpO2 ≤ 95|
E. Other considerations when using HFO
Additional adjustment to vent settings to minimize VILI
Once 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).
Use of sedation and paralysis
Deep 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.
Significant 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:
Insufficient 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.
Hypotension: 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.
As 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.
Mechanism of gas transport
The 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.
A number of different mechanisms have been proposed to explain gas transport under these seemingly “unphysiologic” conditions.
If 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.
Taylor 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.
Molecular 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.
Pendelluft 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.
The 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.
Predicting 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.
The 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.”
Alveolar 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.
Interestingly, 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.]
Special considerations for nursing and allied health professionals.
What's the evidence?
Clinical trials of HFV
The 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.
However, 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.
Adult 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.
In 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.
None 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.
This 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.

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.
Understanding 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.
Operational 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.
The 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.
Significance 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.
Benefits of Salt Spray Chamber Testing:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Limitations and Considerations:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Conclusion: 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. | mechanical_engineering |

It has been developed primarily for use on wood but can also be used on other materials such as GRP, stone, ferrocement, brick, etc.
AMPRO™SEAL CLR has a low viscosity which ensures that the product achieves rapid and deep penetration of porous surfaces. Once AMPRO™ SEAL CLR has soaked into a surface, the adhesive nature of the epoxy base will help to consolidate and strengthen that surface. The resultant epoxy sealing layer provides a high adhesion and moisture resistant base for any type of paint, varnish or epoxy coating system. For example, many woodworking applications combine the penetrating power of the AMPRO™ SEAL, with the thick, clear coating capability of AMPRO™ CLR to produce a strong, highly protective, deep gloss surface on wood.
AMPRO™ SEAL CLR can also be used as a viscosity modifier in conjunction with the full AMPRO™ range.

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.
The 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.
Ford 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.
The 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.
Once 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.
Besides 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.
Alternatively, 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.
This 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).
The 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:
This 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.
We 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.
The 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.
The current BOM total cost for the electrical components in 1,000 unit quantities is around $45.
The 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. For a full list of the contributors to this project, see the AUTHORS file.

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.
The 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.
What is Ignition Switch and the necessary Things to Wire a Lawn Mower Ignition Switch
The 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.
You 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.
- B – It stands for battery
- G – You need to connect this pin with ground
- L – This pin needs to make a connection with light
- S – It is for Solenoid
- M – It should be connected with magneto
Most 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:
1. Wires – To establish the connection between the ignition switch pin and those five components.
2. Pliers – You will need it to connect the wire with the pin and other parts.
3. A 15-Amp Fuse – For establishing the connection between battery and ignition switch.
4. An Electric Tester – To ensure a safe and secure connection.
5. Rubber Gloves – For the safety of your hands.
6. Goggles – To keep your eyes secure while wiring the ignition switch.
How to Wire a Lawn Mower Ignition Switch – The Step-by-step Process
Wiring 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.
Once you gather the necessary components, you can start the wiring procedure. The step-by-step processes are:
Step-1: Connection Between Battery and Ignition Switch
At 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.
From 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.
With 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.
Step-2: The Ground Connection
The 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.
At 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.
So, connect the other side of the wire with a strong piece of soil, and it will do the job perfectly.
Step-3: Connection of the Light
The “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.
But 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.
Step-4: Solenoid and Ignition Switch Connection
Connect 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.
When 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.
Step-5: Connection between Magneto and Ignition Switch
The 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.
After setting up all the connections, check all of them with the electric tester to be sure.
How can I wire the ignition switch of my lawnmower?
Wiring 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.
Then establish the connection between those pins and the parts from the mower engine and body.
How can I establish a secure connection while wiring a lawnmower ignition switch?
First, 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.
Wiring 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.
When 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.

The chain should now be furthest from the inside of the bike.
Use a 5mm Allen wrench and loosen the cable anchor bolt on the rear Sora derailleur. The anchor bolt can be found by following the rear shifter cable to its terminus at the back of the bike.
Turn the barrel adjuster all the way into the body of the derailleur. Then give it two turns in the opposite direction. The barrel adjuster resembles a small "barrel" and is located where the shift cable enters the body of the derailleur.
Pull the end of the cable taught with a pair of needlenose pliers, and re-tighten the anchor bolt over the cable.
Shift the rear gear to the next cog over. If the chain does not shift, turn the barrel adjust counterclockwise until the shift is completed.
Shift the rear gear so that the chain is in the center rear cog. In this position, the upper derailleur pulley should be centered directly beneath the chain. To adjust, turn the barrel adjuster counterclockwise in the direction the pulley needs to move.
Shift the chain to the innermost rear cog and front chain ring. This will place the chain closest to the inside of the bike.
Use your 5mm Allen wrench to loosen the cable anchor bolt above the front derailleur. Again, if you're unsure where to find this bolt, follow the front shifter cable from the shifter to the front derailleur.
Turn the barrel adjuster all the way in to the frame of the bike. The barrel adjuster will be located midway along the shifter cable, attached to the bike frame. Once the barrel adjuster is all the way in, back it out two turns.
Pull the end of the shifter cable taught with your needlenose pliers, and re-tighten the anchor bolt over the cable.
Shift to the largest front chain ring. If the chain does not shift, turn the barrel counterclockwise until the shift is complete. | mechanical_engineering |

Not surprisingly, the equipment has changed with it.
In my 10 years + working on the ropes in Sydney, I’ve had a chance to see the advances close up, to test the manufacturers’ claims and, ultimately, to decide what equipment works best in terms of function and safety for my team.
The following are my all-star nominations, whether you’re looking at high rise window cleaning, building maintenance, concrete cancer repairs, high safety systems – or anything in between.
And if you’re wondering why there are so many Petzl (//www.petzl.com/INT/en) products on the list, it’s not because of any connection I might have with the French company, despite being well connected by the company!
Like Prorax, they just happen to be very good at what they do.
As a wise man once said, it all starts with the rope. 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.
It 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).
Comfortable, 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.
MOBILE FALL ARREST
Not 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.
ANCHOR POINT TESTER
Made 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?
This 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.
Before 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.
It 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!
So there you have it, my eight, indispensable pieces of equipment for professional rope access services. | mechanical_engineering |

Fractional horsepower motors are small motors built on a frame, and they have a power rating of less than one horsepower. Manufacturers simply refer to fractional horsepower motors as FHP motors. This categorization is usually relative to the size of the frame and the total amount of fractional horsepower in the motor. 42, 48, and 56 size frames are still considered to be FHP motors even if the motor has more than one horsepower.
The size of FHP motors is based on standards that have been established by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). In fact, sometimes FHP motors are called NEMA motors. In applications where low-power is needed for controlled motion, FHP motors are a popular device. From surgical devices to car windows to household appliances, the compact nature of fractional horsepower motors make them a great resource in many different industries. Even in equipment like fans and blowers, manufacturers often install an FHP motor.

Unfortunately, all those moving parts can sometimes cause problems. Every printer is different, but they can all suffer from paper jams.
We 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.
Help! My Printer Keeps Jamming
As complex as your printer might be, there are a few common causes behind most paper jams:
· 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.
· 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.
· 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.
· 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.
· 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.
If you have a printer that suffers from paper jams, try to identify what is causing the problem. The reason may be simple to fix.
How to Remove a Paper Jam
Let’s look at how to remove a paper jam. Following these simple steps will fix most problems with paper stuck in a printer.
1. Open the Cover
Start 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.
2. Remove the Paper
Hold 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.
3. Check the Output
If 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.
4. Test the Printer
Turn 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.
How to Fix a False Paper Jam
Occasionally, 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.
Start 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.
If 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.

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.
Before 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.
Your 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.
The 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.
One 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.
Just 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.
Besides 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.
While 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.
High-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.
Knowing 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.
Moreover, 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.
From 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.
Just 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:
The 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.
Strut-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.
Sway 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.
In 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.
Air 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.
Given 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.
However, 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.
The 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.
So, 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. | mechanical_engineering |

https://dummytech.com/2017/12/11/changing-engine-oil-of-15-or-20-hp-4-stroke-mercury-outboard-motor/ | 2023-10-01T09:09:52 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510810.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001073649-20231001103649-00714.warc.gz | 0.929454 | 1,101 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__29705590 | en | This guide will explain how to change the engine oil and filter of a 15 or 20 HP (Horse Power) 4 Stroke Mercury Outboard Motor. 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.
Note: 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.
To get the oil and filter change done, you will need the following tools:
- A Torque Wrench which can reach a torque of 210 lb. in.
- Socket Wrench and socket set
- Oil Drain Pan or something to collect used motor oil in
- Cloths or tissue paper to wipe excess motor oil
- Oil Filter Plier for changing the oil filter
- Funnel to fill oil
- There is no need for an oil pump. In fact, the oil pump may damage your engine.
What Type of Oil to Use?
If 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.
Oil and Filter Changing Procedure
Once 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).
Draining the Used Engine Oil
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Replacing the Oil Filter
Step 1: Bring the motor down to its fully vertical / upright position or also known as the operating position.
Step 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.
Step 3: After removing the filter, clean the mounting base.
Step 4: Apply a film of clean oil to the oil filter gasket.
Step 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.
Step 1: Make sure you still have the motor in the fully upright / vertical position also known as the operating position.
Step 2: Remove the oil cap.
Step 3: Using a funnel, fill the engine with about 1.0 liter (1.1 U.S. quart) of engine oil.
Step 4: Check the dipstick to ensure that the oil level range is at the midpoint between the operating range.
As 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.
Step 5: Start the engine and idle for about 5 minutes. Check for any oil leakage.
Step 6: Stop the engine and check the dip stick again. If there was leakage, add oil if needed. | mechanical_engineering |

Its not an electric bike, its an almost perfect supplement to manual power when you want to go where its not always the most kind. 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.

Very nice complete kit for people who don't want to spec and build it on their own. Took about half an hour to route the wiring to safe places on the bicycle during the installation.
biking made easy
2/16/2014 3:51 PM
thanks clean republic
got the kit a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately my forks didn't accept the wheel hub so I had to go to my local bike shop where they had a second hand set that would, the kit went on as simple as your video said. 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

… 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.

I 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.
The real hill topper
11/9/2013 6:17 PM
There 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. Thank you.

Amazing kit, commute of 7 miles no sweating and saving gas, install was easy but no 3 minutes more like half an hour, Thanks' Clean Republic
Great for the 5 Boro Bike Tour
5/10/2013 9:17 AM
I used the sprinter pack on the 5 Boro Bike tour and it was wonderful. 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!!
AMAZING !! AWESOME !!
5/1/2013 11:19 AM
Yesterday 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.
I 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.
Love my hill topper bike kit. Could about 6 days to receive it through mail.
11/30/2012 10:01 PM
Just 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...

Another 1100 Miles and My Wife Too.
9/14/2012 10:45 AM
I 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.
Front wheel motor best choice!

I 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.

I 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.
Performs as advertised
6/11/2012 6:52 PM
I 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.

i would like to know if you can use the disk brake on you bike for this?
Thanks for a great product!
5/30/2012 9:48 AM
I 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.
I 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!
Update: 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.
5/27/2012 6:50 PM
This 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
I love this Hill Topper Electric bike kit
(st. francisville, LA)
5/16/2012 6:34 PM
I 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. :)

i have put over 700 miles on my bike with this wheel.
Visiting 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.
I 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.
Since 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!
Your products are simply; "A 'Life style' changer!"

Review 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
I 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.
The charger stooped working after six months but that was replaced quickly and without quibble under the warranty.
Have 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.
I 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.
What 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.
Would thoroughly recommend.
10/7/2011 5:03 PM
I'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).

I 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.
Great product Clean Rebublic.

I 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. | mechanical_engineering |

The latest generation aircraft from the manufacturer was handed over to Virgin America at a ceremony in Hamburg, Germany.
“We have been with Virgin America from the beginning and we are excited to launch this new chapter in that relationship,” said Gael Meheust, President, and CEO of CFM International. “We think they will be very pleased with all this engine has to offer.”
The A320neo family aircraft significantly reduces noise levels, generating only half the noise footprint compared to previous generation aircraft. Equipped with fuel-saving Sharklet wingtip devices nitrous oxide emissions are 50 percent below regulatory requirements as outlined by the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP).
In addition, the aircraft with LEAP-1A engines is proven to deliver at least a 15 percent fuel savings compared to Virgin America’s current generation aircraft, which is equivalent to cutting 5,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions with each plane every year. | mechanical_engineering |

- Low initial tooling costs: Initial tooling costs averaged over the parts produced are often less than other manufacturing tooling costs.
- Elimination of material waste: Investment castings are essentially cast to size, thus decreasing the amount of machining required.
- Design flexibility and capability: Infinite choice of alloys and design flexibility for internal and external configurations is seen as a plus.
- Design enhancements: There are no draft requirements in the investment casting process.
- Consistency: The process gives a reliable and consistent product order to order.
- Close Tolerances: Consistently producing close tolerances over other processes, is seen as an advantage.
- Surface Finish Improvement: A surface finish of about 125 RMS is common for an investment casting.
If you need a single piece component to reduce assembly and reassembly time, if you want to eliminate the cost of fabrication and reduce the use of welding, or if you wish to use a casting to reduce machining time, an investment casting would be a wise decision affecting your bottom line profits.

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!
What Are Excavator Buckets?
Excavator 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.
Types Of Excavator Buckets
Digging 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.
Next 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.
For 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. | mechanical_engineering |

We can also retro-fit these cylinders to your existing Composite or PVC Doors (where compatable), giving instant enhanced security.
A good lock is not enough.
Your door may look great, feel solid, and have a great multi-point lock, but what is the point if it can be disabled in a few seconds via an inadequate cylinder lock?
Here are four reasons why Ultion is different:
1/ Hidden attack lock
When Ultion detects an attack, it activates Lockdown Mode. A hidden firing pin in Ultion’s core secures the central cam and stops the intruder being able to open the door.
2/ Unbeaten in every test, literally
As well as being approved by the Police and achieving the highest Kitemark star rating Ultion is tested by locksmiths with the Master Locksmith Association and is accredited with their highest standard. Sold Secure Diamond.
3/ 294,970 key combinations
Most security locks have only 5 or 6 pins. Ultion uses 11. This means that Ultion creates nearly 3 times the amount of key combinations required for the highest standard.
4/ 20-point drill protection
Both ends of every Ultion lock feature 20 hardened steel pins and plates each one positioned precisely to protect your lock from a drill attack. | mechanical_engineering |

Stunning, Archivally-Framed and Matted Signature of Orville Wright
Signed by Orville Wright
The 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.”

The outer tie rod end causes the steering wheel to turn back and forth each time the driver turns the steering wheel. You will find that they adapt to your vehicle’s maneuvers, enduring extreme pressure and still being able to deliver responsive steering.
There 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.

When To Replace Outer Tire Rode?
In 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:
- Lose control of steering wheel
- The uneven wear of tires
- Vehicle pulling
- Hear sounds like rattling noise or chuckling noise
Generally, 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.
Test Outer Tie Rod For Excess Wear
If 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.
- At first, raise the vehicle just enough to prevent the wheel from touching the ground.
- 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.
How To Replace an Outer Tie Rod End
The 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:
- Inner End
- Outer End
Eventually, they can wear and tear, decreasing their functionality and compromising their performance.
Furthermore, 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?
Steps Of The Replacement Of Outer Tie Rod End
1. Park Your Car On Plane Surface
Always 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.
It’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.
2. Remove the Wheel
After 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.
3. Remove the Tie Rod End
Use 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.
4. Take Out Cotter Pin
The 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.
5. Remove the Outer Tie Rod End
There 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.
6. Replace the Outer Tie Rod End
Once 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.
Attach 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.
7. Put the Tires Back On Position
Everything must be in place. Make sure that the connections are secure. Once you have checked the tires, return them, and you are done!
How 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. | mechanical_engineering |

Volkswagen's 25th Anniversary of Diesel Technology - In celebration of the 25th anniversary of TDI technology, Volkswagen announces several key technologies.
The following is an extensive news release from VWAG celebrating the 25th anniversary of the TDI diesel engine. 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.
Twenty-five years ago, Volkswagen achieved a breakthrough in passenger-car diesel engines. It is celebrating this anniversary with three technical highlights:
1) 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
2) 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
3) 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.
In 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.
Today, 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.
Stimulated 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.
At 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.
A 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.
Volkswagen 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.
As 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.
Formula One in diesel engine technology: leading-edge features of the new V-10 TDI
Volkswagen 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.
It 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.
It'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.
Weight-saving, compact construction
Whereas 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.
This 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.
Arranging 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.
In 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.
Eliminating vibration and torque reactions
Among 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.
In 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.
The 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.
Since 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).
Combustion gas flow and engine management
The 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.
Twin 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.
The 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.

Yonex designed the Nanoray 900 (NR900) to help deliver faster, steeper-angle smash and drop shots. By changing the construction of the head frame, the Nanoray 900 (NR900) can suppress the angle of the shuttlecock immediately after impact rather than sending the shuttlecock in an upward direction.
Furthermore, using cutting-edge NANOSCIENCE material, NANOMETRIC, for the racket enables it to flex during the swing and to hold the shuttlecock at point of impact. This result in a totally new type of frame that uses stress construction techniques to keep the upper and lower parts of the frame very stiff and the middle area flexible for faster downward trajectory of the shuttlecock.
As a result, the Nanoray 900 (NR900) helps its user to make a steeper and powerful angle smash to help win the point and the game.

N4721V was manufactured by the Stearman division of Boeing aircraft in Witchita Kansas under and Army Air Force contract in September 1943. Serial Number 42-16931 was designated a PT-13D and fitted with a Lycoming R-680-17, 9 cylinder radial engine of 220 BHP. The aircraft was delivered to Blythe Army Air Base in California and assigned to the 10th Training Detachment where it was used to train pilots until 1949
Maurice acquired N4712V in 2016 and conducted a meticulous 2 year long bare metal restoration. The aircraft was completely stripped, the airframe inspected and repainted and recovered in ceconite and repainted using the Randolph system and paint.
The aircraft is now fitted with a Pratt & Whitney R-985-AN1 producing 450BHP and has 32 hours since zero time overhaul with Eye Tech Engineering. The engine, propeller, governor and magnetos are all effectively zero time meaning a worry free and cost effective ownership proposition for the new owner.
