Calculating the force and kinetic coefficient of friction using a rope roll

Heribert Illig and Prof. Dr. There are a wide range of issues which can affect the performance of chemical mechanical polishing. "Holey" bullets claimed to go faster. Competition shooters like their bullets to fly as fast (and thus straight) as possible, and they try to keep recoil to a minimum.

"Holey" bullets claimed to go faster

Italian ammunition-maker CompBullet produces a series of bullets of the same name, which are claimed to both go faster than normal ammo, and produce less recoil. The secret? The bullets have go-faster holes in them. Available in several calibers, the copper alloy bullets have a main cavity in the base, with multiple "vents" machined into their sides. These reportedly serve several purposes. Life Saver bottle. The way fresh water is supplied to disaster-hitregions could be revolutionised after an Ipswich-based businessmaninvented a £190 bottle that makes foul-smelling water drinkable inseconds.

Michael Pritchard hopes that the bottlecould be a life-saver for refugees in disaster regions where access toclean drinking water is vital. Mr Pritchard's bottle can clean up any water - including faecal matter- using a filter that cuts out anything longer than 15 nanometres,which means that viruses can be filtered out without the use ofchemicals. Military chiefs are excitedbecause the bottles, which can distill either 4,000 litres or 6,000litres without changing the filter, will have huge benefits forsoldiers who hate drinking iodine-flavoured water.

Most glues become brittle and lost their stickiness when moisture is removed, but a new peptide-based adhesive developed at Kansas State University does the exact opposite, becoming stickier in drier environments.

Seiko Thermic. Most quartz watches are powered by miniature batteries, but this watch is powered by converting body temperature into electricity.

Once it is fully charged, it will work for about 10 months without the need for power generation. Based on my limited experience with the watch, I would call it as a hybrid which combined auto-relay technology and perpetual calendar with the new way of generating electricity through body temperature. It has a perpetual calendar function that will automatically adjust for odd and even months, including leap years until February 28, 2100. In addition, it has a power-saving mechanism that stops the display of the watch when no power is being generated to reduce power consumption (and so it will go to sleep while retaining the time in its memory).

Straddling bus. A big concern on top of urban transportation planner's mind is how to speed up the traffic: putting more buses on the road will jam the roads even worse and deteriorate the air; building more subway is costly and time consuming.

Straddling bus

Well, here is an cheaper, greener and fast alternative to lighten their mind up a bit: the straddling bus, first exhibited on the 13th Beijing International High-tech Expo in May this year. Proposed by Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co., Ltd, the model looks like a subway or light-rail train bestriding the road. d0123497_920177.jpg(JPEG 圖片,640x480 像素) This syringe will now self-destruct.

Polar bear hair or loo roll? Shark skin or cheese grater? Welcome to the animal kingdom in extreme close-up. Viewed at extreme magnifications of 1,000 times or more, the natural world acquires a surreal beauty, rich with astonishing forms and spectacular patterns.

Polar bear hair or loo roll? Shark skin or cheese grater? Welcome to the animal kingdom in extreme close-up

A new book, Nano Nature, gives us a rare glimpse into this bizarre 'nano' world. Using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which can view objects at extreme magnification, Nano Nature explores this hidden world, revealing the complexity behind things we take for granted - a butterfly wing, a polar bear's hair or a fruit fly's eye. The images are produced in monochrome and then hand tinted to enrich their detail. 4/1/10 - 5/1/10. Rockport, Texas My yak is a Folbot Edisto. This is the fourth Folbot to have been in my life.

TRIZ Tutorial #3 (print version) Problem 1: Removing layers of insulation Certain metallic surfaces must be coated with a thick layer of insulating material.

Removing this coating later is difficult, however. How might this be accomplished? As mentioned in the second tutorial, applying the principle of prior action to the above problem leads to the suggestion that a steel wire be placed underneath the insulation layer (i.e., before the insulation is applied). Pulling the wire then easily cuts the insulation. Fresnel lens - Images. Motheye. Antireflex coatings. The use of dielectric and thus absorption-free coatings allows the production of reflexionreducing layer systems Modern optics is hardly imaginable without anti-reflex coatings, also called AR- or tempering layer. With these layers the reflexion on the surface of an optical medium for a wavelength or a defined spectrum is minimized.
