    As others have also reported, a second Cal/OSHA report has surfaced on the circumstances surrounding the death of University of California, Los Angeles, researcher Sheharbano (Sheri) Sangji from a laboratory fire. The first report, which I covered extensively back in 2009, was the one that led to civil sanctions against UCLA. As is standard in a California workplace fatality, once the civil case was completed, it was turned over to Cal/OSHA’s Bureau of Investigations (BOI) to determine whether it might warrant criminal prosecution. The newly-available report is the one that the BOI sent…

    As regular readers of this blog know, one of my favorite sources of online information is Wikipedia.While not perfect, this largely volunteer-maintained site is a generally reliable, up-to-date, and accurate source of many kinds of information.It is especially good for technical and scientific data where there is a general consensus of agreement, and even in controversial areas it tends to be pretty even-handed.So imagine my surprise last Wednesday when I clicked onto Wikipedia for something and was greeted instead by a blacked screen for 24 hours and a plea for me (if I was a U.

    The day after Christmas, I was asked to contribute to a long paper on the past, present, and future of the social implications of technology.One of the other contributors cited an idea called the “soulcatcher chip” as something that would have profound social implications, if it ever comes to pass. The phrase “soulcatcher” presumably derives from the word “dreamcatcher.”A dreamcatcher, at least in the original versions made by the Ojibwe and Sioux tribes of native North Americans, was a small frame or loop of willow twigs hung with feathers.Mothers would make dreamcatchers and…

    With the turn of this new year, most people have at least heard about the Mayan calendar sequence ending that allegedly forecasts dire disasters to come on or about December 21, 2012.The Wikipedia article “Mayan calendar” has a quotation from Sandra Noble, who is an expert on ancient Mayan customs and practices.She says that contrary to a lot of the hype that has been promoted about the event, all that it really means is that a “long-count” period of one “b’ak’tun”, lasting 394.3 years, is going to end on that day.Far from prognosticating disaster, the ancient Mayans usually…

In many ways, we are already living in a future where human performance is enhanced beyond what the “natural” human body can do.Is…

    Since I have written my experience visiting a boiler manufacturing company recently, I think it is good if I follow up with another article related to boiler.

    The landmark City of Venice, Italy is known for it's world famous canals, architecture and for some...its flooding. Part of the problem has been blamed on ground subsidence from pumping of shallow ground water in the mid 1900's. A massive project dubbed MOSE has been in progress for some time to build inflatable gates to stop high tides from flooding the Venice lagoon.A recent paper in the Journal Water Resources Research evaluates the possibility of injecting water into the formations to stop and perhaps even reverse the subsidence. The article from Ars Technica (link below) mentions that…

  • This Overrunning Boeing 737 Got Stopped Safely By Concrete

    24 Jan 2012 | 3:54 pm
    Foamed concrete has been used in geotechnical applications as lightweight backfill material in applications where reduction of vertical or lateral loads was critical. In this application, the foamed concrete is designed to 'fail' when an aircraft overruns the regular runway. The foamed concrete Engineered Materials Arresting System or EMAS stops the aircraft without causing catastrophic damage. According to the article, there are about 30 runway overrun accidents each year involving commercial aircraft, and there have been about 1,000 deaths from these types of accidents since 1995.

    A disease-fighting protein in our teardrops has been tethered to a tiny transistor, enabling UC Irvine scientists to discover exactly how it destroys dangerous bacteria. The research could prove critical to long-term work aimed at diagnosing cancers and other illnesses in their very early stages. Ever since Nobel laureate Alexander Fleming found that human tears contain antiseptic proteins called lysozymes about a century ago, scientists have tried to solve the mystery of how they could relentlessly wipe out far larger bacteria. It turns out that lysozymes have jaws that latch on and chomp…

  • Remote Presence Robot

    Anybots allow remote presence today. They can be rented for just $600 a month. You can purchase your own for just $15,000. The newest version, just unveiled at a CES has a much bigger screen (which seems very wise to me). This is another example of robots making it into real use. While I am sure few workplaces are ready for this jump today, 10 or 20 years from now a telepresence robot (that can do much more) is likely I think to be significantly used. Not only will functionality increase, prices will drop dramatically: as the wonderful combination so often happens with technology. There is a…

It is the latest in a series of investments made by the state to develop its robotics industry. The country’s Ministry of Knowledge Economy said in January that it had spent the equivalent of £415m on research in the sector between 2002 and 2010. It said the aim was to compete with other countries, such as Japan, which are also exploring the industry’s potential. In October the ministry said the Korean robot market had…

  • Encouraging Curiosity in Kids

    28 Oct 2011 | 4:28 am
    How do you help make your children scientifically literate? I think the biggest thing you can do is encourage curiosity. One way to encourage curiosity it is by answering their questions (and not saying: I am too busy, don’t bother me, don’t ask me?, stop asking why…). I know adults are busy and have all sorts of stuff we are trying to get done; and the question about why I need to wash my hands doesn’t seem worth answering. But I think anytime a kid is asking why is an opportunity to teach and encourage them to keep being curious. It is very easy to shut off this…

    Online degree programs are growing quickly in popularity in the USA. Over 6 million students took online courses in 2011. The costs of traditional education continue to rise at extremely high rates – schools have done a horrible job of dealing with this. I personally, don’t understand how they have done so horribly on this measure. Administration costs have exploded. Building vanity projects that costs tens of millions of dollars add little to student achievement and waste limited resources driving up costs.

    This is a very cool engineering solution. Wheeled locomotion is very efficient on the right terrain. This transformation lets the robot switch to climb stairs and handle rough terrain very nicely. A team of mechanical engineers at National Taiwan University built this energy-efficient leg-wheel hybrid mobile robot. From their description: Compared to most hybrid platforms, which have separate mechanisms and actuators for wheels and legs, our leg-wheel hybrid mobile robot, Quattroped, uses a “transformation mechanism” that deforms a specific portion of the body to act as a wheel or a leg.

  • Importance of Boiler Chemicals Water Treatment

    24 Jan 2012 | 5:07 am
    Since I have written my experience visiting a boiler manufacturing company recently, I think it is good if I follow up with another article related to boiler. This time, it is about the importance of boiler water treatment chemicals. I remembered monitoring the boiler man blended and poured some chemicals (from Nalco) to be injected into the boilers.[Flash back: Some of my boiler experience story (explosion) for you to read. Boiler Explosion Part 1 & Boiler Explosion Part 2.]Do you know that like cooling tower, a boiler also requires chemical treatment for various reasons. When I was a…

This was the first time I visited a boiler manufacturer company. Honestly I was thrilled to learn and explore how a boiler is made and what the factory looks like. I mean the production plant site. In total there were about 20-30 engineers from IEM. The program started at 9.30 am up to 12.30 pm.Some information about Mechmar Corporation (Malaysia) BerhadMechmar Boiler was established over 30 years ago. Currently, Mechmar Boiler is the…

    I’ve finally got a perfect explanation why the iPhone users are much happier than the Android users and, over time, their devotion drastically grows. According to this provocative research of Dan Gilbert (TED2004: Dan Gilbert asks, Why are we happy?), the synthetic happiness can be cultivated. It’s becoming prominent when a person gets a limited choice and it’s becoming even more so over time. I think the solid implementation of the good-enough features in the iPhone has an increasing effect of the synthetic happiness.

  • Understanding R-Value and Insulation

    This post is provided by Earthcore SIPs. There are many conditions that determine the effectiveness of any building material to provide comfort and energy efficient performance. R-Value is only one of these factors or measurement tools. R-Value is the measure of resistance to heat flow through the defined material. The higher the R-Value the less heat will transfer through the wall, making the system more energy efficient. R-Value is determined by testing or by the addition of tested components. When “effective” R-value is used, it represents that at a given condition or circumstance, the…

  • 10 Pitfalls To Avoid When Designing Electro-Hydraulic Machines pt. 1

    12 Jan 2012 | 9:46 am
    I like to tell people that I prefer to learn from someone else’s experience rather than my own because it tends to hurt a lot less. In keeping with that, here are some things I’ve experienced with electro-hydraulics and some simple, easy solutions that will help you take some of the legwork out of developing an EH system. 1. Flashing an ECU on a Machine That’s Running . . . NEVER flash (upload software to) an ECU on a machine that’s running. If there are outputs that turn on or off during the uploading process, this could put you in a very dangerous situation.  …

  • 5 Things to Consider When Designing an Electro-Hydraulic Machine

    21 Nov 2011 | 4:59 pm
    Choosing to design a machine with electro-hydraulic control can be a very scary decision for machine manufacturers who are more comfortable with more traditional manual controls.  Here are five things to consider before you take the plunge to an electro-hydraulic system.   1. Consider your operators and technicians. Switching from manually operated valves to electro-hydraulics is a big step. You are, in a sense, pulling the operator one step further away from the machine. For some people, this is great and they love a color display that allows them to endlessly tweak a hydraulic…

  • Right-Size Your Hoses and Pipes To Reduce Pressure Drop in Manifolds

    19 Oct 2011 | 11:33 am
    When designing a hydraulic system, you want to optimize your design for minimal pressure drop. Savvy system designers have found that using a custom manifold with the right combination of cartridge valves is one way to optimize a system. When using this approach, it is important to correctly size your valves, drillings, and flow paths within the manifold. It is just as important to “right-size” the hydraulic hose and pipe connecting the manifold to the rest of the installation. Hose and tubing need to be the right diameter, length, smoothness and shape to handle the demands of the…

  • Pitfalls to Avoid When Using an Accumulator in a Hydraulic Manifold

    18 Aug 2011 | 11:32 am
    Hydraulic accumulators are widely used in mobile systems in bladder, diaphragm and piston formats.  Applications for suspension and ride control have led to an increase in the number of smaller accumulators being mounted directly onto cartridge manifold sub systems. Their many uses include emergency storage, leakage compensation, shock absorption and noise reduction.   While it is always a good idea to consult the manufacturer when integrating an accumulator into a manifold, taking the following parameters into consideration can help you avoid system issues.     High…

  • The Quality Processes of a DC Motor Manufacturer

    Ohio Electric Motors
    3 Jan 2012 | 1:42 pm
    The term “quality” has many meanings. Most of the time, it is defined in subjective terms such as, exceeding expectations, or, in more casual terms, like “doing the job right the first time.” While it’s true that a quality product should exceed a customer’s expectations and be manufactured correctly, these definitions of quality are generic and subjective, especially for a motor manufacturer who has long-term relationships with its customers. At a DC motor manufacturer such as Ohio Electric Motors, quality is defined more aptly in objective and measurable terms.

  • Are Interstate Electric Transmission Lines an Economically Viable Path for Wind Power?

    The Burns & McDonnell Team
    25 Jan 2012 | 12:00 pm
    BufferInterstate electric transmission lines are increasingly being used to deliver wind power, one of the cleanest and most cost-effective sources of energy. Because wind is in abundant supply in our country, it can play a huge part in meeting our increased energy demands. According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), wind power has the potential to produce 37 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year — that’s nearly 10 times the amount our nation’s current power needs. But most of the nation’s best wind resources are far from the densely populated areas that have…

  • MIT’s AGNES Suit Simulates How It Feels To Be 70

    The Burns & McDonnell Team
    12 Jan 2012 | 6:00 am
    BufferAs the aging population increases nationally (and globally), age-related research topics are becoming more important in residential and commercial projects. A new suit created by MIT’s AgeLab, known as AGNES (Age Gain Now Empathy System), allows the wearer to feel what it’s like to be 70 years old. For example, the suit dims your sight, stiffens your neck and shortens your gait, according to Fast Company Design. “Instead of enhancing physical performance to super-human levels, AGNES is an empathy enhancer,” writes Tim Maly. A video demonstration of the suit produced by MIT (as…
