For the watch, it was a year before Ive settled on straps that clicked into slots. Ive later tested watchbands by wearing them outside the studio with other watches. The shape of the body, meanwhile, barely changed: a rectangle with rounded corners. “When a huge part of the function is lists”—of names, or appointments—“a circle doesn’t make any sense,” Ive said. Its final form resembles one of Newson’s watches, and the Cartier Santos, from 1904.

The Range Rover Velar – like all Range Rover vehicles – offers exceptional capability on a variety of surfaces, terrains and weather conditions. The Range Rover Velar features a highly sophisticated all-wheel drive system, available four-corner air suspension and, when equipped with air suspension, a ground clearance of 9.9 in. (8.4 in. with coil springs), wading depth of 25.6 in. (23.6 in. with coil springs) and a suite of traction technologies which include Terrain Response® 2, Active Rear Locking Differential and All Terrain Progress Control2.

Researchers have split their finding by production, revenue, growth pace of every kind apart from pricing and market share. The types can be split into one way memory and two-way memory effects apart from the full memory effect. Similarly, applications have been split into aircraft, medical, automotive and home appliance. This has enabled them to focus on consumption, market share and growth pace of every application of nitinol. The study focused on key players in the international market and their capacity, production, pricing, and revenue apart from a market share of devices and components.

Smart lights work overtime to convince you that you get more function than form. You can change the color to the exact hue you want, have them turn on and off as you see fit, and even connect to other tech in your home to convince people you’re home when you’re not. These aren’t just lights, they’re making your house safer and you basically never need to replace them!

Stylish and streamlined, Sena’s latest flip-phone case pops open with the flick of a finger and stays securely shut with a magnetic closure sneakily embedded within the case. It’s an attractive case for sure, lined either with soft microfiber or leather. The new Sena Magnet Flipper comes in either crocodile-embossed leather or smooth nappa leather, and a range of rich colors including the Croc Brown we reviewed. A handy card slot within case keeps credit card or ID secure. — Ami Icanberry

Absorptive design found its way first into schools and offices, where acoustics products were marketed as essential to creating quieter interiors and thus more efficient and less distraction-prone workers (or students). These products were advertised as “sound-conditioning” devices that would purify an environment of “unnatural” sounds. In catalogs for commercial and home interiors, sound-absorptive surfaces were linked directly to comfort, sophistication, and luxury.

The four-bedroom colonial at 63 Mountain Brook Road in North Haven is on a lush 1.10-acre setting with a screened porch and deck.

This roundup will feature a wide variety of cases from several different manufacturers. We’ll dive into the pros and cons of each case, then award it a letter grade for easier perusal. Also included will be reviews of whatever screen protectors we come across, as those are sure to be pertinent to the kind of person who’s reading this in the first place.

Jim Grote, of Cream City Construction, said how the outside of a garage looks is just as important as the inside.

That morning, the douchepop—a mix that included Yaz and The Rapture—was set at low volume, as were the employees, who spoke in murmurs and moved silently on sneakered feet. Later that day, I met Eugene Whang, one of the designers; he referred to a second career as a d.j. and a music promoter, and noted that we were listening to a set that he and a friend had performed at Le Bain, in the Standard Hotel, in New York’s meatpacking district. (It is not enough to have co-created the iPhone.) Whang and his colleagues—they include an Austrian-born surfer, Julian Hönig, who used to design Lamborghinis—tend to be as low-key as their boss, and their fame extends barely beyond the studio door. But their multinationalism, and their lives of individual affluence and shared reputation, would be familiar to soccer players on Europe’s grandest teams. Apple employs three recruiters whose sole task is to identify designers to join the group; they find perhaps one a year. Not long ago, Whang posted online a photograph of a handsome white helicopter, captioned, “The new Mori City Air Service from Narita to Tokyo is amazing. 30 mins total travel time. It’s pricey, but sometimes definitely worth it. The Hermès edition is upholstered in their classic canvas, with leather trim details and calf leather seats.”

Boiling heat transfer is used in many applications, including the production of electricity, chemical processing, and high-heat flux thermal management. Due to its prevalence, and the important role it plays in numerous industries, the enhancement of boiling heat transfer has been studied for decades. During boiling, heat is transferred from a hot surface to a cooler fluid by (1) evaporation across liquid-vapor interfaces, (2) transient conduction, and (3) the micro-convection generated by the nucleation, growth, and departure of vapor bubbles1,2. The efficiency of boiling is quantified by the heat transfer coefficient (HTC), defined as the ratio of the surface heat flux to the superheat temperature, the temperature difference between the solid and the saturated fluid. During boiling, there is a finite rate at which heat can be dissipated from any surface. This maximum is the critical heat flux (CHF). CHF, also referred to as the boiling crisis, occurs when the production of vapor cannot be adequately balanced by the amount of liquid returning to the heated surface. When this occurs the surface undergoes dry-out, where an insulating layer of vapor blankets the solid surface. This leads to an immediate, uncontrollable, and drastic increase in surface temperature with dangerous and potentially catastrophic consequences, such as the destruction of electronic components or the meltdown of a nuclear reactor.

In addition to spatially ordering the escaping vapor and returning liquid flows, the epoxy divisions promote the coalescence-induced departure of laterally merging bubbles. Figure 4a shows the coalescence of two ~2 mm bubbles bridging over an epoxy division. As the two bubbles merge the underlying epoxy division between them remains wetted at all times. A thin liquid layer remains on the cold epoxy surface and the non-wetted base areas below each bubble do not merge, collapse, or otherwise move during the entire process. The resulting bubble deforms due to surface tension and is quickly ejected from the surface. The low temperature epoxy inhibits the inward lateral merging of the non-wetted bases, and helps draw replenishing liquid underneath the bubble thus promoting departure. Conversely, Fig. 4b shows time lapse imaging during pool boiling on bare copper surfaces at a comparable heat flux, where three distinct lateral coalescence events are visible. During the 36 ms movie several bubbles are seen coalescing laterally, and in each event the non-wetted base areas merge inward and the resulting bubbles do not depart. The result is a new non-wetted base area beneath the larger coalesced bubble that is still attached to the surface. While this high-speed imaging is conducted at relatively low heat fluxes, it does provide insight into the mechanism driving boiling enhancement on bi-conductive surfaces. The behaviors visualized at low fluxes, along with the pool boiling results shown in Fig. 3, can be used to draw conclusions regarding the nature of enhancement across all boiling regimes up to CHF.
