New Technologies for Preventing Workplace Burn Injuries

Author: Leaftech
The Problem

Heat burns and scalds lead the way in workplace injuries that result in lost time from work, costing a median of 5 lost days per incident (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Publication No. 2004 -146). The economic impact to employers and employees alike can be overwhelming. A recent study conducted in Oregon State suggested the average cost in that state for burn injuries is US$5,400 per incident!

A major burn hazard is found in industrial plants that utilize steam process lines. In many typical applications hot steam lines are initially covered with a permanent fixture of hard lagging and mineral wool insulation. As plant processes evolve or if system problems occur, sections of insulation are removed for troubleshooting, pipe replacement or line reconfiguration. The insulation around these sections is usually irreparably damaged in the process. Since replacing these small sections can be cost prohibitive, it is often not replaced thereby creating a potential burn hazard.

A second major burn hazard occurs at high temperature flexible hoses that are connected to moving machinery or equipment. Traditional hard lagging insulating technologies, being inflexible, are not capable of servicing these hoses. The result is that the hoses are left un-insulated, creating a potential burn hazard for personnel who service or operate adjacent equipment.

These scenarios represent just two of literally thousands of common situations where the potential for a serious workplace burn injury exists.

The Solution

Recent advancements in thermal protection technologies are allowing insulation providers to utilize closed cell silicone sponge rubber materials to create a wrap for protecting hot process lines. Unlike traditional mineral wool, the sponge wrap system does not require a hard lagging to contain the insulation material. It is extremely flexible and may be cut to length with an ordinary pair of scissors, allowing for easy installation by in house maintenance staff.

In many cases the insulation wrap is equipped with a hook and loop closure to simplify its installation on existing lines, and to provide easy access for maintenance procedures or trouble-shooting activities.

The Technology

This new technology takes advantage of the very low thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance of closed cell silicone sponge rubber.  Unlike traditional insulation products (consisting of fibrous materials and hard outer cladding) silicone sponge rubber wrap is easy to install without a professional contractor, making it a cost effective technology well suited for covering a variety of potential burn surfaces.

The closed cellular nature of the silicone sponge rubber does not allow for water or other liquids to wick through the insulation medium. This enables the material to function just as effectively outside, when exposed to rain and other elements, as inside the plant.

With a minimal capital investment a typical plant can be equipped with silicone sponge burn protection to significantly reduce the risk of workplace injuries.  As an added bonus, protecting un-insulated pipes will lead to a reduction in energy costs.

3m Announces Launch of New Technology

Author: Evander Klum
3M has been a leader in its class for years now and it has done so by developing and manufacturing products which will be very useful for consumers.  Recently, the company's subsidiary, 3M Touch Systems Inc., announced that they have launched the MicroTouch Flex Capacitive Touch Sensors in the United States market.

The said product is a polyester-based capacitive touch screen which can be used on electronic products such as personal navigation systems.  Navigation systems are widely used today in the auto industry and the launch of the new technology is expected to make modern navigational system more efficient and convenient to use.

Chris Tsourides, Mobile Products Business Unit Manager at 3M, had this to say:  "We are very excited to provide the mobile handheld industry with a high-performance touch screen solution that will enhance its product offering and brand image.  With global demand exploding for touch-enabled mobile devices, 3M’s high-volume roll form production of MicroTouch Flex Capacitive Touch Sensors should help address the increasing demand for touch screen sensors."

According to The Auto Channel, the new product from 3M is the result of applying Indium Tin Oxide patterns on polyester film.  The latter is designed to be lightweight thus making it cost effective.  The resulting product is a lightweight touch sensor which can contain as much as 72,000 sensors.  That amount though depends on the size of the screen.

Kelly Devin, Flex Capacitive Business Development Manager with 3m Touch Systems, had this to say:  "Since Flex Capacitive Sensors are manufactured through a continuous, roll form production process, this helps device manufacturers manage their component supply chain from the prototype phase to pilot scale and full scale-up.  Our ability to produce touch sensors on rolls means our customer scan get the quantities they need when they need them."

"A film-based sensor like Flex Capacitive allows product designers to explore new and unique industrial designs beyond the limitations of traditional square or rectangular touch sensor shapes," added Devin.  "As personal mobile devices continue to converge, touch sensor design freedom helps provide product manufacturers a greater ability to differentiate their products."

The advantages of using 3M's new technology will surely be taken into consideration by automakers and auto parts manufacturers especially electronic ones.  Although navigational systems are not yet as important to a motorist as Acura engine parts, they are becoming more and more attractive to consumers.  This means that in the near future, this product by 3M will be used on most vehicles.

New Technologies Being Utilised In The Car Hire Industry

Author: Thomas Pretty
The car hire industry has long been viewed as somewhat of a dinosaur in terms of technological development and implementation. Many will remember booking a hire car for their holiday only to find a spluttering little 'box on wheels' that is just as likely to break down than get you from A to B. Things are changing however, the industry has recognised the importance of providing quality car hire options for travellers. 
A major influence on the car hire industry has been the increasing concerns over global warming and the effect we are having upon the planet. Through more efficient technologies the industry has been striving to produce rental options that will appeal to customers with an environmental conscience. This is not all car hire firms; many have not taken environmental concerns on board, but there are a number of companies who are actively changing the way they operate to meet the demands of the ever-growing environmentally friendly market.
Most obviously car hire companies can adopt an eco-friendly strategy that involves the introduction of hybrid cars in rental fleets. Whilst these cars are definitely the right way to go, many commentators have criticised this as a half measure and questioned the viability of hybrid cars as a long term solution to the problem of emissions. There are also the effects that hybrid cars using bio-fuels are having on wheat production and the cost of wheat worldwide. With a limit on good arable land it is unsurprising that many have questioned the logic of using foodstuffs as a major fuel, surely at some point a Malthusian standpoint must be taken and the resources at our disposal must be measured efficiently.
Other technologies introduced by some forward thinking car hire companies are a changing in the way rates are applied. For instance some companies have started to charge on an hourly rather than daily basis. This means that a customer who only has to drive a short distance, for instance to pick up their own car, only needs to hire the car for an hour. While the company may well lose some profits, it is possible to reduce the time any car spends on the road with this method and hence reduce both congestion and emissions.
Car hire companies are also rapidly introducing black box recorders to their fleets. This is a technology that through GPS tracking can ascertain where a car is at any one moment. This is a strategy that hopes to limit the amount of cars lost to theft whilst also picking up on customers who break speeding regulations whilst hiring a car. This is essentially a protective measure to ensure that car hire fleets remain in good condition and are not damaged by excessive driving. It does however raise a privacy argument as nobody really appreciates having a company know of their whereabouts at all times.
Another protective measure introduced by car hire companies has been the recording of biometric data from customers. In collaboration with local police forces, procedures are now in place at many desks to record a thumbprint of a customer ensuring an electronic record is taken of their details. This has predominantly been a response to high numbers of thefts by organised crime syndicates who use false documents to hire cars. The recording of thumbprints means that if a theft does occur it is possible to hand over the information to the police and speed up any tracing procedures.
The introduction of technology in the car hire industry can be seen as a twofold approach. Firstly the industry is trying to move away from the gas guzzling image for a more eco-friendly perspective. The second approach is utilising new technologies to safeguard fleets. With firms increasingly being targeted by organised criminals this is an unsurprising development to protect their investments. New technology will hopefully lead to an industry that is both secure for the firms and also friendly to the environment.
About the AuthorIndustry expert Thomas Pretty looks into ways in which the car hire industry is using new technologies to tackle the problems it faces.

The New Technology Plasma HDTV

Author: Christa Kowalczyk
Change the way you watch the television with the new TV on the block that has made the conventional analog television sets run for their survival. We are talking about a plasma HDTV.
It's a new technology which has changed the whole scenario. The High Definition Plasma Television is here, that is what popularly known as Plasma HDTV, that has given a new dimension to the TV watching experience.
But, is the technology worth of receiving so much of praise. In this case you have to see it to believe it. As the name itself reflects, the HDTV is a high definition TV that changes the picture quality by bringing more life to it and thus has many advantages over the conventional analog TV set.
Lets talk about what you get when you go in for the Plasma HDTV.Much Higher resolution: this is where the Plasma HDTV can beat any competition coming its way. Compared to the conventional TV sets, the Plasma display devices have much higher resolution, and are capable of displaying full HDTV and DTV signals as well as XGA, SVGA and VGA signals from a computer.
Elimination of scan lines: Contrary to the Plasma TV the conventional TV monitors use an electron beam to scan the picture tube at regular intervals that may produce the scan lines, in a standard NTSC TV. Plasma displays in this case, include built-in line doubling to improve image quality when switched to standard analog video sources such as TV broadcasts and VCR tapes.
Exceptional color accuracy: Another great advantage is the exceptional color accuracy that is achieved through displaying 16.77 million colors that can bring any picture to life.
Wide-screen aspect ratio: To bring back the experience of watching films in theatre, Plasma display devices have a wide-screen 16:9 aspect ratio, that allows the DVD-Video movies to be viewed in wide-screen format.
Perfect flat screen: is another biggest advantage with Plasma screens. This helps to eliminate the edge distortion that can occur in normal displays.
Uniform screen brightness: the realism can be achieved with this factor that also helps in soothing the eyes with the plasma displays illuminating every pixels evenly across the screen.
Slim space-saving design: a few inches thin, hang it on any wall you like and it gives you the installation options as never before. Don't bother about the standalone way if you don't want to keep it like that. The best part is the can match your decor, and actually increase the style statement of your home.
Wide viewing angles: of 160 degrees allows a larger number of viewers to enjoy perfect image reproduction irrespective of their position in the room.
Universal display capability: makes them include and play wide video formats. Most of the plasma HDTV ware compatible with composite video (NTSC, PAL SECAM) (standard RCA jacks), S-video and component video inputs, plus one or more RGB inputs to accept the video output from a computer.
Resistance to magnetic fields: as they do not use the electron beams like the conventional TV sets, they are unfazed by the effects of magnetic fields. That is why it can be placed in a close proximity to any device that produces magnetic fields, for instance, speakers.
About the AuthorTV is switching over to high definition soon, so why not get yourself a plasma HDTV now? Get the info you need at Plasma-hdtv.info.

New Technology Improves the Conversion Efficiency of Solar Battery

Author: Lixiaona
It is reported that scientists from America, Belgium and Korea are researching a new method to collect the solar energy and convert it to direct current. The research also makes the design of solar energy convertor possible. Scitech solar maintain that this innovative technology will largely improve the energy conversion efficiency. Compared with the solar energy battery, the cost is also cut down. This technology is expandable, sustainable and environmental protective. These make the manufacturers able to find out the new material economically when the supply of some material is short. This new technology is based on the special process of light rectification. With a single component, the device absorbs the energy from the infrared ray to the visible light spectrum.Compared with the traditional solar energy battery, the new technology improves the conversion efficiency through absorbing the solar spectrum. This single component is able to absorb the solar energy; meanwhile, it will convert the solar energy into electric energy. This device is called rectifier diode antenna which has been utilized in the microwave electric power transmission field. The efficiency can reach fifty percent. This device is made from the metal wire; therefore, the shortcoming of the semiconductor can not limit the performance of the device. What is more, this single component can be operated under the high temperature. For the traditional semiconductor battery, its performance will be largely influenced when the temperature is higher than 200 centigrade. Scientists have taken large amount of quantum computation to simulate the device. The result of computer simulation is in conformity with the practical operation. This research indicates that rectifying in the visible light spectrum is practicable and the indirect current will be created in this process. Scientists have implemented the high conversion efficiency which even can reach fifty percent. Now, they are still establishing the prototype, including the more durable structure, to improve the efficiency better. The related integrated circuit is Z86128.
