The article presents the results of studies process obtaining granular materials from high-strength aluminum alloys Al - Zn Mg Cu system by centrifugation melt with ultra-high cooling rates granules. concept a «steam jacket» is introduced, namely, steam layer that occurs between granule body and liquid, which prevents intensity heat removal an obstacle to increasing crystallization rate due low...

We describe a novel soft jacket and sling-harness restraint that permits species-typical postures for small-bodied primates, such as the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), during long-term (>6 h), continuous restraint. The restraint system is straightforward to use and manipulate, it is easily repaired, and the materials used are readily available. The soft jacket allows for increased versat...

The Vital Jacket® (VJ) is a wearable vital signs monitoring system that joins textiles with microelectronics. After several years of development within the university lab, it has been licensed to a start-up company. Its evolutions have focused on cardiology and sports and scaled down from a jacket to a single T-shirt. The VJ manufacturing process has recently been certified to comply with the s...

The study about the jacket platforms in the past has revealed that the most of the collapse failures occur due to the lack of strength of the pile foundation. However, when the jacket platforms which have been collapsed due to extreme condition were looked into, it was found that most of them had their foundations intact. These contrasting facts can be explained with the help of the phenomenon ...

Abstract We present a new interaction space for wearables by inlaying interactive elements, in the form of buttons, into outdoor clothing, specifically jackets and coats. Interactive buttons, or iButtons, allow users to perform specific tasks using inconspicuous gesture...

Accurate modeling of process temperatures within jacketed batch reactors has the potential to mitigate risk thermal runaways and enhance control. A non-adiabatic heat-transfer model is derived for investigation heat transfer in laboratory pilot-scale 0.5–40 L. By accounting removed from by a total condenser losses through lid, able predict temperature profiles uncertainty limits experimental me...

This article reads Herman Melville’s White-Jacket as an exploration of shipboard boredom, which oscillates between mechanized labor (tedium) and periods idleness at sea (ennui). The story, revolves around a sailor wearing white jacket among navy-blue uniforms, gives account the perils boredom. My contention is that this (subject) gets so attached to his (object) he becomes unable tell differenc...

Abstract Most of common thermal jackets for gun tubes are composite types, which have large mass and complex structures. With the development material technology, a single-layer jacket using new materials with low conductivity has good protection effects on tubes. The design requires consideration thickness, air gap, properties structural strength. In order to study factors that affect performa...

In this study, mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the Nosrat jacket; located in Persian Gulf; equipped with Semi Active Tuned Mass Damper (SATMD) system have been derived after modeling the structure in SACS software. Owing to huge number of the degrees of freedom in the model, computation of on-line control of SATMD was time consuming. For this purpose, the size of the model was reduced i...
