Gull Lake in central Alberta was challenged by falling water levels from the 1920s to the 1970s. In 1976, Alberta Environment (AEP) implemented a stabilization system to pump water into the lake from the Blindman River via a pump house, 30-inch pipeline and canal. The pump house has three 480 volt pumps with a combined output of 53m3/minute (14,000usgpm) at pressures of...
For Fuyu, the previously produced drawings and the standardized modules with related materials can be regarded as modular products. Conversely, new designs with relatively large design changes based on existing modules can be regarded as "non-standard customization". After the non-standard technology is mature and finalized, it will be transformed into standard equipment...
In August of 1933, R.O. Monroe and L.D. Goff, in conjunction with a local mill, designed and built the first rotary joint. It was a device that eliminated the problems associated with stuffing boxes and packing glands and allowed the water or steam to be introduced in a much more economical method
Depureco created a definitive document that explains what Atex is, in simple words and clear patterns.
Check valves are used in many applications to control the flow of gases or liquids using varying mechanisms. Vacuum systems and small-bore, low-pressure systems often incorporate diaphragm check valves to prevent reverse flow and the risks associated with it. This blog post will discuss the types of diaphragm check valves and how they work. WHAT ARE DIAPHRAGM CHECK VALV...
Dry hopping has developed from being just a trend in recent years, especially in aspiring breweries from the craft beer scene, to an established technique in the entire brewing industry. Rhinegeist Brewery—located in an area called Over-the-Rhine in Cinncinati, Ohio—has undergone a huge development from 11,000 barrels a year in 2015 to more than 100,000 barrels a year in...

Damage Threshold Definition: Colloquially speaking, Laser-Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) represents the critical value of a laser intensity at which an optical device can withstand without being permanently damaged. The LIDT of an optical device depends largely on the type of laser used. A Continuous Wave (CW) Laser usually causes damage through thermal effects (abso...
The city of Liverpool lies at the centre of one of the UK’s largest urban areas. Originally a port, it developed into the UK’s most important city after London during the Industrial Revolution. Liverpool has a rich cultural history, but socioeconomic discrepancies led to it becoming a deprived area, with associated health burdens. However, expert research and innovati...
With the excitement surrounding the emergence of LED lighting and displays it is becoming increasingly important to be able to measure the performance of LEDs and LED-based systems in accurate and meaningful ways. This is even more important as LEDs are increasingly used as an alternative to more traditional technologies. The intended purpose of the measurement - to info...
Human vision and perception are the ultimate determinants of display quality, however human judgment is variable, making it difficult to define and apply quantitatively in research or production environments. Traditional methods for automated defect detection do not relate directly to human perception. Accurately correlating human perceptions of defects with the informat...
1 Introduction UWB technology has many advantages, such as high anti-interference performance, high transmission rate, low-power consumption, greater security, and so on. This can theoretically provide high-precision centimeter-level positioning in the indoor environment. However, the layout of partitions and decorative materials in typical indoor scenarios, and the pla...
Safety in potentially explosive workplaces is governed at European level by two directives: ATEX 2014/34/EU (product directive) and ATEX 99/92/EC (social directive). The first directive sets out the requirements and procedures for conformity assessment of ATEX equipment and identifies the obligations and responsibilities of economic operators (manufacturers, authorised ...
Vibrational spectroscopy is a well-established, powerful tool for polymer characterization. In this application note, we’ll explore how aqueous based water-soluble polymers(10-20% solids) can be rapidly and easily measured using the i-Raman EX portable Raman spectrometer.
At a crime scene, a police officer collects a fiber sample that may prove to be invaluable evidence in identifying a criminal or exonerating an innocent person. In this study, we show how Raman spectroscopy, which has been studied extensively for forensic fiber analysis, is a perfect fit for this scenario because of the high selectivity of Raman signatures, non-destructi...
Brightly-colored street samples such as ecstasy tablets pose a serious challenge due to the fluorescence interference commonly associated with Raman devices that use a 785-nm laser. For this reason, handheld Raman systems that contain 1064-nm laser excitation, as opposed to the 785-nm laser excitation traditionally used, are the newest advancement in Raman instrumentatio...
