Hand-held Probe Measures Surface Temperature of Solids

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:29:56 +0000

– The HP 1000-SP probe features a pointed tip that allows for exact positioning of the sensor on the desired spot. This enhances measurement accuracy by eliminating any conduction heat transfer through the stem.

The HP 1000-SP is ideal for hard to reach locations in a variety of applications. According to Dr. Bahman Tavassoli, PhD Chief Technologies at Advanced Thermal Solutions. ”We have applications where an automotive design engineer uses the probe to reach a hot surface on a motor for example”, said Dr. Tavassoli, “otherwise they would not be able understand the temperature characteristics of the surface and how it effects the overall thermal management design”. Dr. Tavassoli noted that any hard to reach space or surface in an enclosure or building would be good applications for the HP 1000-SP.

Besides hard to reach places, the HP 1000-SP can also act as a thermocouple as well as a temperature probe. This purpose built, dual application approach saves engineers both time and money having to purchase separate thermocouples.

The HP 1000-SP is designed to be used with ATS’s full line of Temperature and Velocity Measurement Instruments from the entry level, 4 sensor supporting, eATVS-4 to the ATVS-NxT which supports 32 simultaneous air/velocity sensors.

Large 7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Shook Christchurch, New Zealand Early This Morning

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:32:16 +0000

The city of Christchurch was woken this morning by a large earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1. The earthquake struck this morning at 4.35am local time. The earthquake struck 30km west of Christchurch and was felt across the whole South Island.

People were woken to their houses shaking and a lot of noise of glass breaking. People grabbed their kids and ran for the door frames. The after quakes kept hitting and more may continue for the next two days.

Luckily no fatalities have been reported but two men are in serious condition in Christchurch Hospital, there injuries were caused by breaking glass and a falling chimney.

The damage to the city is extensive; the city centre has been closed off in case of more building collapsing and to keep looters away from the exposed shops. Walls have collapsed, cracks have formed in the roads and roofs have caved in.

Sewage and water pipes have burst leaving more devastation and shortages of water. A large part of the city is without power but the local power company are working hard to get the power back on before the end of the day as the temperature is expected to drop to below -2 tonight.

A state of emergency has been declared and the prime minister is heading to Christchurch in a few hours to talk to the mayor about getting the help that is needed to the city.

Michael Douglas Tells the World He Has Throat Cancer

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:32:59 +0000

Michael Douglas appeared with Michael Letterman on the Late Show on Tuesday night. Michael Douglas said that in early August he was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. Douglas has been feeling unwell for a while and received tests early summer which didn’t produce any cause for his illness. Douglas and his wife, Catherine Zeta Jones and their children went to Europe for a trip and upon returning he had a biopsy which revealed the cancer. He will be starting treatment for his cancer including chemotherapy and radiation treatment and possibly surgery.

Michael Douglas was a heavy smoker up until 2006 when he gave up. This may have had a significant part in the cancer. Douglas also said the past year has been a stressful one with his ex wife is trying to get half his money from his WS salary and his son being sentenced to jail for drug charges.

Despite the devastating diagnosis, Douglas is very optimistic as the doctor has given him an 80% chance of recovery.

III Forks Offers iPad Wine List; First For Jacksonville Restaurants

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:03:32 +0000

– III Forks is the first Jacksonville, Fla. restaurant to offer guests an interactive wine list in a custom iPad application, called GrapePad created by Three Elements Design, out of Austin, Texas.

The iPad certainly makes selecting a bottle of wine more interesting than a paper wine list.

III Forks Jacksonville General Manager and Proprietor Curtis Osmond is unveiling the impressive application. Osmond came to Jacksonville last year after serving as general manager and proprietor at III Forks in Austin.

The upscale Tapestry Park restaurant is likely the first city restaurant to launch custom design iPad wine tablets. The handheld device not only provides customers with detailed information about the major wine regions and varietals, but also automatically updates the wine list as labels sell out.

“It’s not only a great experience for our guests, but is a very effective management tool,” said Osmond.

The custom app provides information about varietals, growing regions and details on each bottle that assist guests trying to select the perfect wine to pair with their meals. For those who are still interested in seeing a traditional list, III Forks still provides a complete copy of its wine list in a paper format. The list features bottles from all over the world.

The sommelier at III Forks plans to use the iPad to educate patrons on over the 350 bottles available or invite guests to instantly access the information themselves from the iPad’s fully customizable GrapePad application with the touch of a finger.

The iPad is sure to become more common, as different businesses come up with creative ways to use the tablet.

III Forks, based in Dallas, is Jacksonville’s newest steakhouse conveniently located in Tapestry Park off Southside Boulevard at JTB. The restaurant boasts a unique, sophisticated club-like ambiance with an elegant bar and lounge.

III Forks has brought a whole new level of dining in North Florida, from spectacular interiors with fire-infused walls, to an outdoor patio area with sparkling fountains, plasma TVs, and huge concrete fire table, to the glass enclosed wine room housing hundreds of hand-picked wines. The lush d
