The exit signs are also often powered by NiMH type batteries. “Nothing better” is, wrong, I would say “nothing cheaper”. A LiFePO4 IS better, it is just much more expensive, my 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 cost about €750,- , you can convert to US$ yourself. It is even spec’d for 1000A for 5 to 10s. The good thing is: You get 1000cycles 100% depth of discharge (or 3000 with 80%). Compare this to lead acid, where you should not go below 50% discharge, if you want to get a decent amount of cycles, I think, if you want more than 100 or 200. There are LiFePO4 replacement batteries for car batteries, but most time they have much less capacity than the lead acid counterpart they replace, probably just because they are much more discharge tolerant. What I am not sure is, how they react to automotive temperatures. My LiFePO4 battery wants to be charged only between 0°C and 45°C
“As women of color in the fashion industry, we have had rewarding and challenging experiences. As we reflect on the beginning of our careers when we were interns and executive trainees, there were very few people who looked like us and progressed through the career path, which is why we serve as co-presidents of BRAG, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing internships and scholarships to people of color interested in fashion retail careers. Too often, we see high potential talent at all levels leave this industry because they do not see a future for themselves, and often feel their perspective isn’t valued.”—Nicole Cokley Dunlap, vice-president, Bloomingdale’s, and Shawn Outler, executive vice-president, Macy’s
With aerodynamics the cutting edge of design for bikes, components and clothing, airflow modelling and wind tunnel testing of new products are key for the bike industry. But many wind tunnels are primarily designed to test aviation and motorsports products, where the velocity is much faster than for sporting goods.
Based on his rather vague comments, it will probably be a preview rather than a full launch, and more than likely it will be branded as a prototype. It might not even have a name. But make no mistake: Samsung is determined to announce the world’s first truly foldable phone for one reason and one reason only: to be first, not because the world needs it. Or even wants it.
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.
“This conversation is important because people need to be reminded that fashion plays an enormous role in shaping how we view and value people. If we don’t consider how the fashion industry is embracing, showing or including various people, then we risk allowing whole groups to be, if not devalued, then ignored.”—Robin Givhan, fashion critic, Washington Post
They however are not very fond large temperature swings and high moisture. Also, they need to be replaced at most every 2 years, the detectors (not the supporting electronics) themselves deteriorate over time.

Cool! I knew they were making some cellphone screens (and watch crystals, and camera windows) from sapphire but I didn’t know it was Aluminum oxide: Al2O3
“As a black male independent entrepreneur, class, money, and race play a silent yet very vocal role in my entire life, including my career. I am a tall, dark-skinned guy and EVERY day, white and other POC question my presence in certain environments based on the race, (stylish) dress or speech, whether at the airport lounge or a potential investor meeting. I have never let that stop me.”—Victor Glemaud, designer
You might be surprised to learn that a big truck or tour-bus diesel consumes very little “on the flat;” it is just loafing, and sips the fuel. The major use is in acceleration and hill-climbing. OK, so let’s take the experience of the I-68 through Western Maryland and extrapolate that to the 100 heaviest-trafficked sections of road where they have to climb a mountain. And how much fuel burn do you avoid, in the national truck fleet? 30%? 40%? Whatever the number is, it is a lot.
Ideal thing with this, is that the energy is compressed air, that’s quite hard to find on a scan, or at all.
