The Burchfield Penney Langley H. Kenzie Award was created to honor Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and to support others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year. The award is supported by the Langley H. Kenzie Award Endowment, established by her daughters, Rachel King and Mary Mahley.

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

The Western New York community is invited to join the Independent Health Foundation as they present the 30th annual First Night® Buffalo, the ultimate drug- and alcohol-free New Year’s Eve celebration. This year’s event will be held from 5 to 10 p.m., Monday, Dec. 31, at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.

Beginning in 2009, Currier has collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to create unique ceramic tiles for interior walls. Her first commission, La Stanza di Linea, is a 14 x 40-foot wall in the Choral Room in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University. Incorporating three different tiles to create the pattern, the tiles were mounted to the wall utilizing Boston Valley’s unique clip system. Next, BKSK, the architectural firm that designed 688 Broadway, a 14-unit luxury apartment building in New York City’s NOHO neighborhood, chose one of Currier’s Boston Valley Terra Cotta tiles for installation in the entryway.

Lol, I was referring to this paper from 1979https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02833979 Looks like ceramic springs might have been invented before you guys.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

Nevertheless, computational simulation of chemical transformation in molecular systems is characterized by considerable complexity, partly because it arises from spontaneous rare events that occur during the course of a molecule’s hyperdimensional dynamical choreography. There is good evidence that mapping such transformations belongs to a class of “NP-hard” problems, for which no obviously optimal computational solution exists (18). For the foreseeable future, many important molecular-level transformations occur on time scales that will remain beyond even the most sophisticated simulation architectures. “Chemical intuition” (an oft-invoked concept that broadly refers to the chemist’s ability to efficiently navigate hyperdimensional molecular space) is therefore likely to play an important role in (bio)chemistry and synthetic biology for a long time to come. Tools accelerating the rate at which chemical intuition can be brought to bear on structurally and physically detailed models will facilitate creative teams making progress on challenging problems.

30dec(dec 30)10:00 am17jun(jun 17)5:00 pmDISPLAY: THE SCULPTURE OF ANNE CURRIERRenowned artist Anne Currier exhibits new sculptural forms, shapes and surfaces that echo the context of how objects can shift when placed in varying spaces 10:00 am - (june 17) 5:00 pm Buffalo State Performing Arts Center

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

Diaphragm pump technology is inherently accurate and can help to prevent potential leaks. Its use can reduce the costs of injection chemicals and increase pumping efficiency in high flow, high pressure applications. SPX FLOW has worked to further adapt this technology to address the increasing pressure on offshore space and weight constraints. 

The socket is constructed to provide a leak-tight interface with the plug. This requires a sealing surface between the plug and socket. A socket may also be a one- or two-piece construction. The one-piece is a single part machined to accept the configuration of the mating plug and to provide a leak tight seal. The two-piece is similar but has a second part to retain an internal valve assembly, or to provide flexibility for a variety of end configurations
