2015 NSC Congress & Expo ‘Best in Show’ Product Showcase | 2015-09-28 | Wood Grain Pvc Ceiling

In December, a day after a severe coastal storm had sent seabirds darting inland, across Silicon Valley, I met Ive at the site of the future campus, a five-minute drive from Infinite Loop. It was still raining. There was no view of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and no sign of the drone that sometimes buzzes overhead, recording video that is scrutinized online. The site has been cleared of all but one preëxisting office building. This is where thirty Foster architects work; they are sometimes joined by London-based colleagues, and by Ive and his team. In the lobby, there was a wall-size rendering of the campus, into whose central landscaped circle—amphitheatre, fountain, apricot trees—one could drop the Great Pyramid. When the design studio is relocated, it will occupy a top-floor space of thirty thousand square feet, with Industrial Design and Human Interface together, sharing a view of what Apple refers to as the “savanna” between the main building and the fitness center.

The company is also looking to add reps in Arkansas, Delaware, Northern Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia, the sales for which are currently managed by Straub directly.

"We got gamed here, in my opinion, in many ways, by leadership: House, Senate, Republican, Democrat," he said.

Without it, the site first opened to the public in 2015. It featured about 120,000 square feet of new or reconfigured exhibition space; a new cinema; a new two-story Miesian pavilion of wide open gallery spaces, called the Podium, the whole building clad in light, shimmery panels of foamed aluminum, an automotive and medical industry material also used for bomb blast absorption that looks a little like rough stone. There was even a 1950s-style Italian cafe straight out of a Wes Anderson movie.

At first, the designers put little on paper. After years of collaboration, “we just get it,” Ive said. “We know exactly what somebody means.” They first discussed the watch’s over-all architecture, rather than its shape. Ive’s position was that people were “O.K., or O.K. to a degree,” with carrying a phone that is identical to hundreds of millions of others, but they would not accept this in something that’s worn. The question, then, was “How do we create a huge range of products and still have a clear and singular opinion?”

It was the spaciousness and layout of the home that attracted the owners to the home when they first purchased it. Generously proportioned rooms are graced with hardwood floors, crown moldings and an abundance of windows that fill the space with light and take in the beauty of the natural backdrop.

Like the XSLATE B10, the new L10 has a small fan as part of Xplore’s internal thermal management system that also includes a custom copper heat spreader and heat piping to regulate heating and cooling in extreme temperatures. We’d rather not have a fan, but at this point it remains a necessity to guarantee safe operating temperatures and also guard against heat-related performance throttling. Xplore commented that the fan makes it possible for the XSLATE L10 to maintain full performance over the entire operating temperature range. Given that we’ve witnessed performance of some fanless designs drop dramatically when the system gets hot, including a fan makes sense.

For the first time on a Land Rover model, a four-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine will be offered, delivering high levels of torque from low engine speeds, ensuring excellent responsiveness and acceleration whenever the driver demands it. Features such as the highly rigid crankcase, twin balancer shafts and active fluid-filled engine mounts ensure superb refinement.

Below a closer look at some of the interesting details of the L10 platform. From left to right the external antenna pass-through block, an example of the sealing of I/O blocks, and on the right the thermal management system with its heat pipe and fan.
