For older campervans there is the gutter rail option (A) where a pole slides into the pole sleeve and then clamps securely inside the gutter (please note that the pole and clamps are not supplied with SheltaPod). For modern vans with an awning rail, there is also a bending strip that threads into the C channel (B). If you want to drive away then you also need a Kador strip and figure of eight which can been seen in the photo but does not come with SheltaPod. However we do supply 4 x five meter webbing straps for 'over the top' attachment (C). There's also three velcro straps that can attach to roof bars/racks. This option is suitable for SUVs. And finally you can use suction clamps (D) (not supplied) that attach to the pole in the pole sleeve. This is suitable for flat roof vehicles. SheltaPod will attach to vehicles as high as 280cm.
For more detailed instructions download our Attachment Guide.*Please note we do not sell the attachment equipment but they can be easily found online or at any good camping store.
ATTACHING TO A FIAMMA AWNING
If you are attaching to a roll out awning then please check the diameter of the C channel. SheltaPod uses 6mm beading. If your C channel is 4mm then you will need to separately purchase a 4mm to 6mm Kador conversion strip.
NO CAMPERVAN? NO WORRIES!
SheltaPod can attach to almost any vehicle. The simple canopy design has several attachment methods. For campervan's with multi rails or a gutter rail there is the C channel beading strip or the pole sleeve method.
For SUV's, jeeps and standard vans, we offer three velcro straps which can attach to roof bars or racks. We also include four webbing straps for 'over the top' attachment (with front and rear to stop slippage). And finally there are three gaps in the pole sleeve for attaching suction clamps.
Please note that we DO NOT INCLUDE the attachment equipment, for example the pole for the pole sleeve, 'figure of eight' for C channel and suction clamps.

That’s Why We……
At Smile Makers Dental Care in Concord, CA, we pride ourselves on staying up-to-date on the latest technology and advances to provide the most optimal care and results for our patients. The Yomi Dental Robotics is a system that uses robotic technology to assist Dr. Ewing and team during dental implant procedures, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and reducing the potential for human errors.
The Yomi system is designed to work in conjunction with Dr. Ewing’s skill and expertise, allowing for more precise and accurate placement of dental implants. Yomi Robitics uses a combination of 3D imaging and haptic technology to help guide Dr. Ewing’s hand during the placement of the implant, which can result in a more accurate and comfortable experience for the patient.
The Yomi system also has the potential to reduce the amount of time required for the implant placement procedure, which can lead to less discomfort, faster recovery times for patients and a less invasive procedure.
Achieving Restored Smiles with the Latest Technology and Expertise
The Yomi® dental robot takes the art and science of dental implants a step further by providing audio, visual and physical feedback to guide the surgeon in precision implant placement. It’s interesting to note that while robotic surgery has been around for over two decades, the Yomi robot is the first and only FDA-cleared robot-assisted dental surgery system available in the United States. Its clearance for general dental implant procedures in 2016 and for full mouth dental implants in 2020 indicates its safety and effectiveness in performing complex dental procedures.
The Yomi robot has been used to place more than 10,000 dental implants since its FDA approval and is making headway for dentists in dental implant surgery. By combining the expertise from Dr. Ewing with the precision of a robotic system, Yomi can help deliver transformative dental implant results that can improve patients’ quality of life in Concord, CA.
Robotics: Enhancing The Results Our Patient’s Receive
Freehand dental implant placement has a high success rate in skilled hands such as Dr. Ewing and these techniques are still widely used by many competent dentists and specialists. In addition to a dentist, a robot provides several advantages, especially in full arch cases.
Without the limitations of cameras or physical guides, Yomi streamlines preoperative dental implant procedural planning, while navigational guidance provides an unprecedented level of instrument precision and control. Dr. Ewing performs virtual surgery on the computer, which creates a plan that the robot follows during actual guided dental implant surgery.
The robot uses a 3D scan of your mouth with exact angles and depths needed to drill into the bone to precisely place dental implants. Yomi robotic haptics guide Dr. Ewing’s hand throughout the implant procedure, while also allowing dynamic adjustments based on her clinical expertise.
By guiding the precise implant angle and location and securely maintaining this position, Yomi prevents unintended deviation and incorrect placement.
Additional benefits include:

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

Rice Milling and Drying Information
During the milling stage the rice moves through a multi-faceted process. When rice arrives at the mill, it is ushered through a series of sorting machines, separating the kernels, encased in an inedible hull or husk, from any debris.
The rough rice passes through “sheller” machines that remove the hull. What remains is brown rice, with the bran layers still surrounding the kernel. The grains of brown rice are milled by machines that rub the grains together under pressure. This abrasion removes the bran layer, revealing white or “polished” rice.
- Drying:To ensure that our customers get the perfect finished rice product，our team is constantly striving to select the best wet paddy for drying and we have three lines of drying facilities.
- Husking: Rice paddy is sent into a standard hulling process, and then further passed on to a shaking grid to separate cargo rice from rice paddy before it is sent into the process of whitening and deliberately separating impurities in order to obtain clean cargo rice free of any impurities.
- Whitening: Cargo rice that is selected and stored carefully is then passed on to a production line where the rice husk on the grain’s surface shall be polished off gradually to prevent the temperature inside the grain from rising too high which in turn can change the delicate structure of premium rice.
- Polishing: Whitened rice grain shall be taken through many stages in the process of polishing and sorting, during which there is a break before re-polishing of the rice grain recommences. This makes the grain appear glossy and causes our product to be accepted and meet the standard. The sorted rice shall be stored in cool storage to maintain its freshness before it is sent to the packaging line.
- Packaging: Quality rice must be kept in clean and standard packages. We pack the rice with an automatic machine to ensure the accurate weight specified to customers. Every product pack is imprinted with the lot number, date of production, and a suitable best before date. We pack from 1kg to 50kg and can also pack according to the specific requirements.
- Handling and Transportation: Complying with our customers’ delivery requirements is one of our commitments.

The August 6, 2015 order, issued pursuant to the New York City Health Code, also requires recipients to retain an environmental consultant with relevant experience to test their cooling towers for the presence of organic material, biofilm, algae and other visible contaminants, and to maintain records of their investigation and disinfection activities.
Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia caused by a strain of bacteria (Legionella) that thrives in warm water. Over the last three weeks, approximately 100 people in the South Bronx have been hospitalized with the disease.
Cooling towers – rooftop structures that that hold water used in certain buildings’ air conditioning, ventilation or heating systems – can present conditions that foster the growth of Legionella, with individuals exposed through water vapor from the cooling tower or building infrastructure. NYCDOH has detected Legionella in five South Bronx cooling towers, all of which have been remediated under government oversight.
The New York State Department of Health is providing free Legionella testing for buildings with cooling towers systems. According to press reports, Mayor Bill de Blasio is also expected to propose legislation increasing the New York City’s regulation of cooling towers, including new testing and maintenance standards.
Sive, Paget & Riesel has significant experience in the full range of environmental and public health issues facing building owners and managers, including asbestos removal, lead paint abatement, and cooling tower maintenance. The firm is currently representing clients concerning compliance with the City’s latest cooling tower directives, including the selection of consultants with relevant expertise and coordination with regulators to ensure timely investigation and disinfection where needed. For additional information about NYCDOH’s order and its impact on building owners and managers, contact Scott Furman or David Yudelson. | mechanical_engineering |

Accordingly, state agencies and industry groups have issued safety warnings to bridge girder stakeholders. Until now, the safety and well-being of girders has been the exclusive domain of the fabricator. However, with the anticipated changes to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications coming in 2018, all stakeholders will be explicitly required to ensure that girder handling and stability are part of their design scope. This includes the engineer of record, who will need to include lifting and handling as part of the initial design criteria for the girder. | mechanical_engineering |

Nevertheless, given the speed of technology advance and the technical amnesia this can create, it is worthwhile to stop and remind ourselves that pile foundations have both economic value and technical appeal.
The whole process is an enormously complex one in all of its aspects, whether we consider the mechanics of the impact or the transfer of the load from the pile into the soil and the soil’s response to it.
In Russia, a country that is admittedly ready made for deep foundations, pile foundations are the most widespread foundations for buildings and structures in civil, military, industrial and hydrotechnical construction because their use instead of ring foundations makes it possible to significantly reduce amounts of earth moving works, to reduce labour consumption by 50%, and concrete consumption by 33-50%.
Pile foundations additionally provide building settlement that is both lower and more uniform than ring foundations.
This fact is especially important in the construction of block-type and large panel buildings, such as the high rise apartment buildings one normally associates with Russia.
To drive these piles and thus reap the benefits of these advantages, the most widespread machines for driving piles are diesel hammers.
Their main advantages are 1) independence from external power sources such as steam boilers, air compressors, generators, or hydraulic power packs, 2) high productivity, 3) simplicity and convenience of operation, and 4)relatively low price of manufacturing.
Eighty percent (80%) of all piling works in Russia are carried out by diesel hammers.
Each diesel hammer during a year fulfils piling works which cost forty (40) times as much as the price of the diesel hammer itself.
The principle of operation of all diesel hammers is based on the two stroke internal combustion engine with compression ignition.
The impact force of a diesel hammer is the result of both the direct impact of the ram on the anvil and the pressure of air-fuel combustion. | mechanical_engineering |

DOT 3 brake fluid
DOT 3 brake fluids are usually glycol ether-based, but that is not because they are required to be. In fact, FMVSS116 doesn’t precise the chemical composition of brake fluids. It simply dictates the fluid physical properties. However, brake fluid industry has, by consensus, decreed that glycol ether fluids are the most economical way to meet the requirements.
DOT 4 brake fluids
DOT 4 brake fluids are also glycol ether-based but they contain in addition borate esters in order to improve some properties including increased dry and wet boiling points. DOT 4 brake fluids have a more stable and higher boiling point during the early portion of their life, but ironically once the fluid does actually begin to absorb water its boiling point will typically fall off more rapidly than a typical DOT 3 brake fluid. By FMVSS116 standards, DOT 4 brake fluids must have a minimum dry boiling point of 230°C and a minimum wet boiling point of 155°C. | mechanical_engineering |

Whistles on the Water recreates the time when steamships were the “Royalty” of the Great Lakes. During the 19th century steamships were identified by the uniqueness of their steam whistle. Ship captains would tune their steam whistle to create a unique sound so that their ship could be identified before it could be seen. While this custom seems quaint to us today, it was helpful to the captains of the Great Lakes in identifying a nearby ship in poor visibility before radios were employed on ships.
When the Great Lakes shipping switched from steam to diesel engines, this unique characteristic of the Lakes disappeared.
Whistles on the Water uses a massive steam boiler that produces 250 pounds per square inch of pressure. The boiler produces an authentic sound common during the 19th century when steamships ruled the Great Lakes. This is the only steam whistle event in North America that these massive whistles from 19th century can be heard.

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

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

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

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

If the spinner is made with the length of the dome left intact, the size is as shown in the descriptions.
The "10" spinner is actually 10.375". If it is installed without being shortened, it is 10.375". If it is installed with an IVO Patriot, which is only 1.375" thick, the dome is cut shorter and will be 10".
All our spinners are sent out balanced to a tolerance of about 1 gram (28grams = 1 ounce). For example, if you remove one of the 8-32 x 3/4" dome mounting bolts from a balanced spinner and put it back on the balancing rig, it shows as being "sharply out of balance". | mechanical_engineering |

Modify an inadequate meeting room into an aesthetically pleasing conference room for corporate level and board meetings. Some inherent problems with the room included poor lighting, outdated finishes and heating/cooling issues which caused discomfort to occupants. Due to frequent use, the room could not be closed for construction for an extended period of time.
As part of the design team, J.P. Salemi, Inc. worked with facility management and senior executives to discuss the desired look of the board room. After samples were submitted and the budget reviewed, J.P. Salemi, Inc. began renovation to the desired specifications. Renovations would include enhancing the existing octagonal shape of the meeting room table with improved lighting and updating wall and floor finishes. The room's air distribution would also require a complete renovation to eliminate drafts on occupants. To minimize disruption to the meeting schedule, J.P. Salemi, Inc. planned to complete project construction during a holiday week.
A new translucent light cloud system was installed in the center of the room and dimmable perimeter lighting added to increase ambiance and improve function of the meeting space. New wall covering and thick broadloom carpet enhanced wood tones of the table and cabinetry. The heating/cooling system was redesigned by adding air distribution in inconspicuous areas. The redesign eliminated drafts in the room, increasing occupant comfort. The new executive board room resulted in rave reviews from senior management and their guests. | mechanical_engineering |

The landlord had agreed with the new tenant an amount for the repairs and fit out, based on evidence presented as part of the new tenant’s tender process. This allowed us to begin the process to recover the cost of the dilapidation works from the original tenant. In addition, we found a major issue with the pipework serving the heating and cooling system, which required replacement due to internal corrosion which added a loss of rent element because of the length of time the repair work took.
Through negotiations and our experience of recovering dilapidations costs, we were pleased to provide the client with a settlement of £26 per sq ft. | mechanical_engineering |

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

ACT Research recently completed a Ride Along featuring Hyliion’s HyperTruck ERX, a Class 8 hybrid battery-electric and natural gas powertrain, giving ACT Research a chance to dive deeper into one of the various decarbonization options available for fleets. As one of the many Class 8 decarbonization options, ACT hoped to learn more in a hands-on review of the HyperTruck ERX and how this vehicle fits into the matrix of ACT’s forecast and total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) model.
As part of the upcoming third edition of CHARGING FORWARD, a report that collects and analyzes:
1) propulsion systems evolution of battery- and fuel-cell electric, natural gas, internal hydrogen combustion, hybrid, and gasoline powertrains;
2) government regulations and subsidies; and
3) electric, hydrogen, natural gas, and gasoline supply and infrastructure;
ACT Research will be updating the TCO model of 50 unique vehicle applications around the globe through 2040. Vehicles like Hyliion’s HyperTruck ERX, and the application solution they address, will be examined to forecast the key considerations and adoption of different powertrains based on a bottoms-up approach of ACT’s model.
“We’ve really spent a considerable amount of time looking at the regulatory landscape to understand how policies and regulations will impact ZEV adoption. Everything from ZEV mandates and NOx emissions regulations to relaxing weight penalties and local air quality rules. Regulatory impacts are built into our TCO model, and we’ve made it easy for our clients to factor in their own subsidies and incentives,” remarked Lydia Vieth, ACT’s Research Analyst, Electrification & Autonomy. “This means ACT is able to give our clients not only decarbonization adoption rates for 50 working applications of Classes 4–8 vehicles, but a complete understanding of the factors and circumstances driving those adoption rates around the world.”

Radon depressurization systems come in many types based on the construction of your home.
Below is a list of the 4 most common systems we use. Which system is best for you? Let's find out:
Sub-Slab systems utilize the existing concrete slab in your basement to effectively pull radon from underneath your home and exhaust it safely outside. This is achieved by drilling a 5-inch suction hole through the slab, a pit is dug underneath and a suction pipe is inserted. The radon fan, once turned on creates suction and begins to draw radon that would have gotten into your home and expels it outside where it safely disperses into the atmosphere. Along with other necessary mitigation applications such as crack filling, sump lid sealing, backer rod installation and so on, this system is very efficient and will work well for years to come.
This is an active soil-depressurization system whereby a suction point is located within the drain tile. Generally, Drain-Tile depressurization systems are installed during a new homes construction. A contractor can connect the vent pipe to the drain tile and run the vent pipe inside interior walls up to the attic where a Radon Specialist will make the final tie in with the proper radon exhaust fan.
In this particular application the radon fan assembly is located inside the attic and exhausts out the roof of the home. This type of system can be very cost effective when done during the homes construction but very cost prohibitive if done after the home is finished. The benefit of this system is that the entire radon system is hidden from view.
This is an active radon mitigation system that creates negative air pressure under a vapor barrier to draw radon out and away from the home. These systems work by sealing off the existing dirt/gravel floor and drawing radon from underneath. It's crucial to a system like this that the plastic membrane not be disturbed after the install is complete due to risks of tears, punctures and other damage that could prevent the system from working as efficiently as designed.
Sump pit depressurization system:
is a radon mitigation system that has a suction point installed in the sump lid. This type of system utilizes the existing drain pipes that run underneath your concrete slab to help carry water to your sump. We can utilize this network of pipes to draw radon out from underneath your slab in the same way water is drawn out. Using an existing sump as our suction point allows our systems to have a smaller footprint, a cleaner install and a less noticeable mitigation system in your home. | mechanical_engineering |

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

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

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

Debris from the construction site and the crane littered the streets and caused many nearby buildings to be evacuated. The incident occurred at 354 East 91st Street (1st Avenue). This is the 2nd fatal crane collapse and 9th death in Manhattan these past 2 months, amidst growing criticism that the city and the Department of Buildings are not doing enough to secure construction sites. In March, the DOB instituted a new policy requiring that both before a crane is to be raised and during its operations, on-site workers must have meetings with city engineers. The cause of this incident has not yet been determined.

Metal tiles and panels are a modern and very durable material, which becomes more and more popular for residential and commercial buildings due to being an extremely versatile roofing solution with the extra advantage of a rather simplistic installation. Metal tiles and panels are much easier to install than ceramic or concrete tiles and make for easy commercial roof repair Dallas TX roofers say. In addition, renowned metal roof manufacturers provide full coverage systems for different roof types, including drainage systems, vents, or other accessories.
Another advantage of a metal roof is its reduced weight, the loading of the tiles or panels being less than 10kg/ square meter (compared to 30-40kg/ square meter in the case of ceramic tiles). Some metal roof manufacturers cover the surface of tiles and panels with a fine quartz coating, before applying the paint, the final aspect being more attractive without the typical glossy finish. Also, this coating offers better sound damping and impact resistance properties. Metal tiles and panels are well protected against corrosion, which contributes to their resistance and durability. Most manufacturers are willing to offer a very generous warranty. Moreover, the roof covered with metal tiles or panels instantly forms a ventilation layer, from the eaves to the ridge, which is very beneficial for the roof and for the space below.
This category includes a diverse amalgam of membrane types that are usually referred to by acronyms indicating their composition, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer). Each of these membranes has a different degree of chemical resistance, but all of them are very popular for flat commercial buildings and perform well in the climate specific to Texas. Single-layer membranes come in any color and can provide enhanced reflection properties.
Factors to consider:
- There are different types of membranes and they include different substances that provide them with various physical properties
- They are flexible and UV resistant
- They are compatible with flat roofs
These roofing materials combine bitumen, polymer modifiers and a reinforcement layers. They may be also available with surface granules or laminated sheets, to provide additional protection.
Factors to consider:
- They are installed in multiple layers, including base sheets, modified bitumen membranes and various textures on the surface
- The material is durable and flexible
- Some types of bitumen require torch welding, which may pose a fire risk
- They may also come in reflective colors
Photovoltaic panels installed on flat commercial roofs
Flat commercial roofs provide a lot of space that can be used freely; the installation of photovoltaic panels is something that more and more building owners choose to install on their roofs. Solar energy is a great asset, being free, unlimited and quite easy to capture in sunny Texas, and transformed into electricity.
If photovoltaic roofing products used to be a part of SF scenarios, today they are an accessible reality, increasingly present due to its advantages in the creation of a green world. Photovoltaic panels do not pollute and have no harmful effects on the atmosphere. | mechanical_engineering |

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

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

The rim base was spaced farther apart than any diameter of the tube, permitting unrestricted rotation on the trunnions without interference from the undercarriage. Wiard altered the shape of the carriage's cheeks, relocated the axle and provided a long elevating screw; this made firing at elevation of up to 35 degrees possible.Reportedly, three artillery batteries associated with Union Major General Daniel Sickles' "Excelsior Brigade" were armed with 6-pdr and 12-pdr Wiard guns, possibly as a result of a friendship between Wiard and Sickles. Two batteries of six 6-pdr guns each were ordered specifically for that brigade in 1861. None of Wiard's weapons were widely adopted, and few survive today. | mechanical_engineering |

Wrapping by hand is particularly suitable in case of low volumes (max 10 pallets per day) and/or when wrapping is taking place on wide ranging locations. It is simple and effective, but also time consuming and very strenuous for the employee. In case of larger numbers of pallets, it quickly becomes recommendable to use a pallet wrapper. A good wrapping machine uses (a lot) less film than when wrapping by hand. Investment in a machine is often quickly recouped.
Please contact us to discuss whether a film wrapping machine is a suitable solution for you.
When this type of pallet wrapper is used, the product is standing on a turntable. This turntable turns and wraps the wrapping film around the product. Click here to see a video of a turntable wrapper.
A turntable wrapper makes an average of 12-15 revolutions per minute. The product must be relatively stable and properly stacked, because the entire load is rotating and could fall apart. In general, a turntable wrapper is easy to move. They are light and compact and with the aid of a forklift truck it is possible to move the wrapper elsewhere quickly.
Click here for an overview of all Cyklop turntable wrappers.
In the case of an arm wrapper, the product remains standing (e.g. a pallet on the floor) and the film carriage with the wrapping film on it is attached to an ‘arm’ and rotates around the product. This method of wrapping is suitable for light and unstable products, because the load is not rotating. But the arm wrapper is also highly suitable for heavy products (because sometimes a turntable wrapper cannot carry the weight). In the case of an arm wrapper, the heavy load remains standing on the floor.
If the wrapper is in an environment where the floor must be cleaned on a daily basis, e.g. in the food industry, this wrapper also offers significant advantages. As only the frame is mounted to the floor, it is easy to clean the floor here.
Click here for an overview of all Cyklop arm wrappers.
The ring wrapper is similar to the arm wrapper, because the load remains standing still, while the film carriage rotates around the pallet. However, in the case of a ring wrapper, the film carriage is not attached to an arm, but to a large ring. The great benefit of this is that the film carriage can rotate much faster, increasing the capacity per hour.
A ring wrapper is particularly suitable in case of large (peak) volumes, when a high-speed wrapper is required. A ring wrapper can wrap up to 180 pallets per hour.
Click here for an overview of all Cyklop ring wrappers.
A robot wrapper is a wrapper that drives around the load independently and wraps film around the load. Click here for a video of a robot wrapper.
The great benefit of a robot wrapper is its flexibility. The machine is (electrically) mobile, making it possible to wrap pallets on different locations easily and quickly. The robot was specially developed for users that want to wrap a wide range of (large) pallets on various locations.
Click here for an overview of all Cyklop robot wrappers.
A horizontal wrapper, also referred to as horizontal ring wrapper, is the ideal solution for horizontally packaging large goods such as profiles, boards or doors. Click here for a video of a horizontal wrapper. When using a horizontal film wrapping machine, the load is guided through the machine horizontally, while the film carriage rotates around the product. For these type of products, it is not possible to use a turntable wrapper, for instance, because the load is long and narrow and does not remain standing. The opening or ring size varies from 42 cm to more than 300 cm.

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

The treated liquid, or effluent, from the final settling tanks is then sent to the chlorine contact tanks for disinfection.

Activated Sludge Process (ASP) Treatment System: In the activated sludge treatment system, two circular tanks are utilized (Photo 4). The center of each circular tank serves as an aeration zone for the activated sludge process, while the outer ring of each tank is used for a final settling tank. Aeration and mixing are provided to the liquid in the center ring of each tank, which allows for the biological removal of organics and nitrogen from the wastewater. After biological treatment in the center ring, the wastewater flows to the outer ring where the solids settle to the bottom of the tank. The solids, which primarily consist of the microorganisms that provide biological treatment of the wastewater, are collected at the bottom of the tank and are either returned to the process as RAS, or wasted to the solids treatment train. The effluent from the final settling tanks is then sent to the chlorine contact tanks for disinfection.
Photo 4. Activated Sludge Process Treatment System
Disinfection: Two chlorine contact tanks are operated in parallel to allow for the disinfection of the effluent. Liquid chlorine is added to the effluent to provide for the removal of potentially harmful microorganisms that may still be present in the water. Following disinfection, the treated effluent is conveyed to the effluent pumping system.
From the time the wastewater enters the Penn State WWTP, it typically takes between 12 and 18 hours to flow through the liquid treatment train. As outlined above, the liquid treatment train utilizes physical, chemical and biological processes to effectively and efficiently remove pollutants from the wastewater. The WWTP typically removes over 99% of BOD and 98% of suspended solids from the wastewater.
The solids produced at the Penn State WWTP are treated with an anaerobic digestion system. A process flow diagram of the solids processing train at the existing WWTP is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Solids Train Process Flow Diagram
The solids treatment train of the existing WWTP generally consists of the following elements:
Dissolved Air Flotation Thickener: The dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickener provides thickening of the solids from the final settling tanks. The thickened solids are then conveyed to the primary anaerobic digesters, while the liquid that is removed from the solids is conveyed back to the beginning of the liquid treatment train.
Primary Anaerobic Digestion: Two primary anaerobic digesters receive and treat solids from the primary settling tanks and the DAF thickener. The anaerobic digestion process uses microorganisms to break down biodegradable solids in the absence of oxygen. Solids remain in the digesters for approximately 20 days. Digested solids from the primary anaerobic digesters are then conveyed to the secondary digester. The anaerobic digestion process naturally produces biogas, which is composed primarily of methane and carbon dioxide. Penn State collects this biogas and utilizes it to heat the contents of the digesters and to provide heat to several buildings onsite.
Secondary Anaerobic Digestion: One secondary anaerobic digester is utilized to provide additional treatment of the solids and to provide storage of the digested solids prior to dewatering. Treated solids from the secondary anaerobic digester are periodically conveyed to the dewatering system.
Dewatering System: One rotary press is utilized to dewater the digested solids. The purpose of the dewatering process is to remove water from the solids. The solids are pumped from the secondary digester to the rotary press system, where they are mixed with polymer to enhance the removal of water. The conditioned solids are then conveyed through the rotary press system to squeeze out the water. The dewatered solids, known as biosolids, are collected in a dumpster for disposal at a landfill. The liquid removed from the solids is conveyed back to the beginning of the liquid treatment train.
In Pennsylvania, the majority of wastewater treatment plants discharge the treated effluent directly to a surface water source such as a stream or river. However, the Penn State wastewater system is unique, in that there is zero discharge to a stream. Since 1983, Penn State has been recycling all of its treated effluent through a land application system known as the Living Filter (Photo 5). The Living Filter consists of approximately 600 acres of agricultural land and forest land (Photo 6 and 7). An estimated 90% of the irrigated water recharges the region’s water table—about 1.3 MGD, or over 475 million gallons per year. The land application of treated effluent provides enhanced treatment of the water as it slowly percolates through the soil profile, helps to maintain base flows in streams such as Spring Creek, and reduces the impacts of drought conditions. The Penn State WWTP has not discharged to a stream since 1983, and is thought to be one of the many reasons that the water quality of Spring Creek is considered to be better now than any time in the last 100 years. Management of the Living Filter system is provided by the Wastewater Management Committee, a multi-discipline committee made up of researchers from across the University, as well as representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Research completed by this Committee is transmitted via trade journals and research publications to advance the knowledge base on wastewater treatment plant processes and land application systems.

Using Reclaimed Water
To further promote the sustainable use of water, the University has developed a master plan for the future implementation of a reclaimed water system for the University Park Campus. This reclaimed water system would take a portion of the treated effluent from the WWTP and make it available for appropriate water uses on campus. It is estimated that strategically using reclaimed water on campus could reduce groundwater withdrawals by 300,000 to 500,000 gallons per day. Sewage facilities planning and permitting has been completed for the system, and installation of portions of the reclaimed water distribution system has begun as opportunities present themselves. Targeted uses for the future reclaimed water system include toilet flushing, irrigation, vehicle washing, non-potable washdown and laundry. When viable, interior plumbing systems of new or renovated buildings on campus are being installed in a manner to facilitate the use of reclaimed water when it becomes available.
The University is currently undergoing the design and construction of a major capital upgrade to the existing WWTP. Sewage facilities planning for these upgrades was approved in March 2018 by the Centre Region Council of Governments through an Act 537 Plan Special Study. Upgrades to the WWTP are needed to renovate and replace aged infrastructure, improve onsite safety and improve the treatment and energy efficiency of the facility. Based on future wastewater flow projections for the University Park Campus, a 3.0 MGD design capacity is recommended for the upgraded WWTP. The upgrades will generally include a complete rebuild of the liquid treatment train utilizing membrane bioreactor technology, and will include improvements to screening, grit removal, flow equalization, disinfection, solids thickening, odor control, and electrical/controls systems. The upgrades to the Penn State WWTP are expected to be complete by 2022.

No matter the terrain you are enclosing, we have the heavy duty wire you will need. These continuous spools are enough wire to enclose up to 1/2 of an acre. We recommend Heavy Duty Pet Fence wire in any areas where the wire may experience wear and tear, such as rocky conditions or cold weather climates.
Electric dog fence systems usually come with the cheapest low-grade wire available, whereas most professionally installed systems use a more substantial heavy duty polyethylene coated variation. Whether you’re replacing a section of your existing fence or wiring your yard from scratch, you can easily find a relatively inexpensive and compatible wire for your project. Regardless of gauge, you should choose only a solid, insulated wire rated for burial, preferably polyethylene or plastic coated for maximum performance, which is what all our wire is made of.
This wire is compatible with ALL pet fence brands and wired applications:
• Invisible Fence®
• Dog Watch®
• Contain Your Pet®
• Dog Guard®
• Perimeter Technologies®
• eXtreme Dog Fence®

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

Dallas Invents noted the following information during their weekly report:\
Ronald L Perdue (Kennedale, TX) and William K Chapin (Cumby, TX) were granted a patent for a “Hydraulic gooseneck trailer coupler system and method”.
The description of the patent was as follows:
“A system and method of raising and lowering a ball coupler for coupling to a ball hitch is provided. A combination of a hydraulic pump and hydraulic piston is employed to raise and lower the ball coupler of a gooseneck trailer. Both custom and off-the-shelf parts combine to create a user-friendly system to couple and uncouple a gooseneck trailer to the truck. The system described herein replaces the need to raise and lower a gooseneck trailer”s coupling system by a hand crank and gearbox and even the need to climb into the back of the truck bed. Varying trailer frame configurations and ball coupler sizes can be employed with the present invention. Also described and shown in this provisional is a non-rotating free-end hydraulic piston device and method. Also described and shown is a coupling bushing device and method for securing a conventional coupler to a piston rod.”

Window wells should be larger than the window itself to allow light into the basement and to allow egress out of the basement in the event of an emergency.
Typical window wells are corrugated metal. The corrugations help to add strength to the well to help limit crushing or bending. Lenbeth deals directly with the best metal window well manufacturers available.
There are other types of window wells available on the market for those looking for something different. Lenbeth offers window wells that are made of fiberglass and plastic. These alternatives to the typical metal window wells allow more light in the basement and are more esthetically appealing when looking from inside the basement out of the basement window. Lenbeth proudly offers Wolfa Window Wells which are a one piece fiberglass window well manufactured in Germany.
Lenbeth has been installing window wells for many years and we understand all the issues that can arise from installations. We have tested many different installation methods and we have the expertise to install the wells correctly.

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

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

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

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

Always at the forefront of product design and experimentation, constant product improvement characterises every SOTO product.
Shinfuji burner, the company behind the SOTO brand, was established in 1978 as a manufacturer of industrial burners for trade and industry use. The SOTO brand of stoves was born in 1992 on the back of the success of the “poketochi” palm sized pocket blowtorch which was originally intended for industrial use but was embraced by outdoor enthusiasts for its compact size and excellent quality. From there, SOTO has grown to account for 50% of Shinfuji’s business.
The introduction of the Muka liquid fuel and the Windmaster canister stove, and coming soon for 2015 the new Amicus, has raised the bar for outdoor stove development and these stoves currently represent the cutting edge of stove design.
A range of lightweight, compact and practical accessories complements the range, making SOTO the ideal choice for the discerning camper on expeditions big and small. | mechanical_engineering |

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

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