“We’ve seen a demand in the industry from customers to increase uptime with a constant focus on efficiency, allowing a smoother running operation,” said Randhir Shetty, product manager at Flow International Corp. (Kent, WA). “For our customers, increased uptime means a boost in productivity.”
Boyko is now working with the second generation of the family-owned business, so he has a very good working relationship with the company.
“I started my first collection in ’86, ’87, and had built enough relationships where people were willing to take a chance on me. But I definitely felt like I wasn’t taken seriously as a businesswoman. Back in the day, New York City’s Garment District was full of all these old men who had been in the game for 30 and 40 years. I’m talking about all the little factories and jobbers and trim people. If they saw that you were serious, they’d give you a hard time in the beginning. But if you persevered, then they were in your corner. It didn’t matter what color you were, it just mattered if you were serious about being a designer and surviving in the industry.”—Tracy Reese, designer
Why do the Darwin awards exist in the first place. Fortunately the Darwin gene pool is very shallow. I only point out the oblivious because too many people will go out and cook with one these. And kill there family with the fumes. I investigated building one of these. There are many designs available. All are improved by cooling the coil tank circuit. The device being used can be purchased on EBAY ~$50. Build your own is safer, you can select to spread out the cap currents by using many more caps at a smaller value.
I was reading for the Prius, the solar panel design was interfering with the AM radio when wired into the battery so the solar panel option was only wired to an internal fan to circulate air.
WK2 engine cowlings are also composite, as are the inlet duct and exhaust nozzle, made with an unidentified high-temperature composite material. Palermo identifies WK2’s engines as “four highly efficient high-bypass turbofan jet engines made by Pratt & Whitney, Canada” part of the United Technologies Co. (East Hartford, CT, US) — “a great supplier to our program for many years,” Palermo adds.
BLM Group (Novi, MI) introduced the 3 kW LT8.10 fiber laser tube-cutting machine, which provides precise laser cutting on a variety of materials for tube diameters up to 9.5″ (241 mm). The system is ideal for cutting highly reflective materials such as brass, copper and aluminum and it can process round, square, rectangular, and special shaped tube or bar and open profiles with ease. The system has a new compact and lightweight Tube Cutter 3D cutting head, making it ideal for tube cutting applications, including tilt cutting of thick-walled steel. Also on display was the SMART all-electric, 8-axis tube bending machine for small-diameter applications. The compact unit is particularly well suited for bending complex components with different bending radii and tubes pre-assembled with fittings, end-forms, and other features commonly used in the automotive and HVAC industries.
Weiler Abrasives Group (Cresco, PA), a provider of abrasives, power brushes, and maintenance products for surface conditioning, announced the expansion of its resin fiber discs (RFDs) offering to include five new products for varying performance requirements: Tiger Ceramic, Zirc and Aluminum, and Wolverine Zirc and Aluminum Oxide. These discs are designed to provide an aggressive cut rate and a smooth finish on tool steel, aluminum and any material in between. The products are said to be ideal for heavy stock removal, edge chamfering, weld blending, grinding, and surface preparation and finishing. Tiger Aluminum resin fiber discs are well-suited for grinding, blending and finishing. The discs reduce heat buildup to delay melting and prevent the disc from loading, resulting in higher cut rates, a long life and a superior finish, according to Weiler Abrasives.
Looking to the future, Palermo emphasizes TSC’s need for engineers in all disciplines — “design engineers, stress analysts, composites specialists, and more” — for its fully integrated, design-through-manufacturing-and-testing production cycle. “New engineers go through the same composites training that our new technicians take, so that they have similar exposure as the technicians and they understand the processes they are going to be designing for,” he says.
If it can stop a 50 cal, it’s probably not in the “absurdly hard but so brittle it’s mostly useless” category.
History tells us brands can come back from the brink of a company crisis, yet it takes serious and long-term communications, vision and commitment to get there
I once had a “ghetto blaster” type cassette radio recorder, which needed 8 D-cells. For the same price as this 8 D cells I got a 7Ah SLA battery. I t is true, that this primary cells have about double the Ah capacity, but after 2 charge cycles they were equal. And assuming that energy use during manufacturing is somehow related to manufacturing cost and thus retail price, I do not really believe that bad energy ratio you cite. The lead was no issue, it stayed happily in the battery until it’s EOL and recycling. Not so the acid, Some drops somehow found a way out and damaged a pair of jeans and a chair. LiFePo is really very nice and has 1000s of recharge cycles and it’s voltage also fits nicely to 6V or 12V lead acid applications ( 7,2V or 14,4V end of charge voltage). The mean voltage is about 10% higher, above 13V for most of the time. This increases power efficiency with ordinary PWM solar charge controllers.
