To be fair, introducing depth to the water is putting a small amount of pressure into the equation, which makes sealing there even more difficult.
Regardless of the complexity of a design, some jobs require the use of a relatively simple tool. For instance, Toro Group of Companies, which develops and manufactures aluminum products for office buildings and high-rise condos like these towers in Mississauga, Ont., right-sizes its press needs with an air/oil-based system.
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
With ByTrans Cross, the key benefit is its flexibility due to the modular design. It can be integrated between a laser cutting center and a warehouse, but is equally suitable as a stand-alone solution to ensure efficient supply of raw metal sheets in various thicknesses and materials to the laser cutting machine.
WK2 and SS2 in flight. WK2 is designed to carry SS2 to an altitude of about 9 miles, at which point SS2 detaches for the final flight to the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere.
"In 1996, a dual-pulsed laser vaporization technique was developed, which produced SWNTs in gram quantities and yields of >70wt% purity. Samples were prepared by laser vaporization of graphite rods with a 50:50 catalyst mixture of Co and Ni (particle size ~1um) at 1200oC in flowing argon, followed by heat treatment in a vacuum at 1000°C to remove the C60 and other fullerenes. The initial laser vaporization pulse was followed by a second pulse, to vaporize the target more uniformly. The use of two successive laser pulses minimizes the amount of carbon deposited as soot. The second laser pulse breaks up the larger particles ablated by the first one, and feeds them into the growing nanotube structure. The material produced by this method appears as a mat of “ropes”, 10-20nm in diameter and up to 100um or more in length. Each rope is found to consist primarily of a bundle of SWNTs, aligned along a common axis. By varying the growth temperature, the catalyst composition, and other process parameters, the average nanotube diameter and size distribution can be varied.
Bill, remember that the "price" of crude oil(as well as transport fuels) is set in the interim by speculators trading on the various commodities exchanges. When the traders see a drop in consumption and a concurrent bulging of inventory, they start bidding down the futures contracts and that collapses the trading prices. A "herd effect" kicks in and you get these price swings. Ultimately, what you will end up with a a reduction in consumption in the margin, and the producers start elbowing each other to sell their product at the loss of the other guy. That then kicks the pricing structure downstairs, until one of the producers (or more) gives up and drops out. It is because of these activities at the margins that you see these large price swings in the market.
Charts like this are great, but for the relatively uneducated lay person it would be really useful to include more daily relevant items, such as 1 hour of Summer sun exposure, standing next to a 2000W microwave on maximum for 5 mins, 1 month of accumulated exposure at the base of a mobile phone tower (include results for different common technologies), 1 month of exposure 100m from the same tower, 1 year of exposure living under high volyage overhead power lines, 1 year of exposure using handheld mobile phone (as headsets obviously reduce exposure significantly), 1 year of exposure sitting next to a photocopy printer in a busy office… The exposure levels of most things the tinfoil hat wearers are concerned about are actually miniscule and universally lower than regular sun exposure (which, interestingly, is commonly recommended as a healthy practice by ‘wholistic’ and ‘alternative health’ practicioners who believe sun exposure to be good, healthy, ‘natural’ and necessary. Funny that they don’t recommend the same regular exposure to uncontained nuclear fission reactions, but hey I’m no nuclear physicist – maybe there’s a substantial difference in radiation types and levels from the two different events. I’m sure the tinfoil hat brigade could set me straight!)

The fact that HAD has so many people up in arms about exploding PVC pipes used for potato guns, this product should be added to the list.
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.
Recharged, we tried the same battery using the RMA 448 TC’s ECO mode. There’s precious little difference in its cutting ability over normal, well-kept grass in this mode, and the drive is no slower either. The mower drove us around for a solid 38 minutes in ECO mode, covering well over 750m² of flat, open lawn.
