Boston Dynamics reveals its robot dog hard at work helping construction workers carry heavy loads | Brass Quick Connect Couplings

The Florida International University (FIU) bridge, a 53m long, 862t concrete trussed structure, was under construction when it collapsed onto a live eight lane road below on 15 March this year, killing five people in vehicles and one bridge worker

Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

Escape break week boredom with a full week of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic activities! Each day children explore different STEM concepts through hands-on exploration, experiments, and art projects. Activities

While I understood they where springs when I first countered them, but I didn’t know they had the moniker Belleville Washers until now. My experiance with them is in their use in adjustable relief valves use in the oil field. In applications where to pressure was very high, and the amount of fluid being bypass could be measure in barrels. As in 42 gallons per barrel.. Torsion bars holding up gull wing doors sounds exotics, but the body part torsion bars hold up more is deck lids. The evolution of the springs that hold up vehicle hoods is interesting. At first they used that flat coils spring that quickly worn out be cause of the weight, so hinge that used linear coil springs was developed. When those proved to be too heavy duty when cars started shedding weight it as back to the flat coil springs. The reason the hoods GM pickups of the mid ’70s would buckle is that people where too lazy to go to center of the hood to pull it shut. worn out torsion bars that hold up pickup tool box lids can be pain

Your Convention Center did not meet the expectations of the site selection committee and did not measure up to the level of convention centers visited in the other cities. There was also concern from the site selection committee regarding the abundance of vacant storefronts surrounding the Convention Center and the host hotel.

The exhibition is fittingly presented in the Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery for Fine Art in Craft Media, named for the Burchfield Penney’s patron whose generous support makes the biennial exhibition possible, as well as collection development. Past recipients of the Langley H. Kenzie Award include Bethany Krull (2010), Karen Donnellan (2012), Jesse Walp (2014), and Jozef Bajus (2016), who respectively work with ceramics, glass, wood, and fiber with recycled materials.

Depending on the application, the coupling may be subjected to vibration or relative rotation between the mating halves while pressurized. In most cases, these conditions will shorten the expected life of the coupling by causing leakage or difficulties in connecting or disconnecting. Therefore, check with the manufacturer to determine if the coupling will tolerate these conditions.

“It looked like what would happen if a wave hit a wall,” said the couple’s daughter Mallory Valentine.

Commissions will vary depending on the local market, discounts and other factors. In general, Alex Soriano said, veterinarians can expect to take home around $100 from a call. 

To carry out the user studies (detailed further in what follows), the simulations were hosted on separate machines within our own local area network. We used one machine for each task to avoid any latency that might arise from excessive computational load on a single machine. The three machines that we used as simulation servers during user studies included the following: (i) a mid-range gaming desktop with a 3.5 GHz quad-core Intel i5-6600K processor and an NVIDIA GTX 970 graphics card, (ii) a high-end Alienware13 R3 gaming laptop with a 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor and an NVIDIA 1060 dedicated VR graphics card, and (iii) a high-end Alienware15 R3 gaming laptop with a 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-6700HQ and an NVIDIA 1070 GTX dedicated VR graphics card. The user tests involving mice (described in the “User study one” section) were run at two different sites: (i) our laboratory at the University of Bristol (UoB), using the mid-range gaming desktop along with an external USB mouse and a 21-inch external monitor and (ii) the CCPBioSim (Collaborative Computational Project for Biomolecular Simulation) 2017 conference using the screen on the Alienware15 along with an external USB mouse. During all user studies, we throttled the performance on all platforms to guarantee that (despite differences in each machine’s specifications) they were capable of running at 30 frames per second. This ensured that the latency across all test platforms gave an equally fluid user experience. For the touchscreen version of the tasks, we used a Samsung Galaxy S3 tablet, connected to the simulation over an 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit WiFi connection.
