Bi-conductive surfaces were fabricated by embedding lines of a low-conductivity epoxy into a copper substrate. Copper sheets (1 mm thickness) were cut to size and grooves were machined into them using Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). The EDM wire thickness was 0.254 mm with a reported minimum spark gap of 0.381 mm ± 0.127 mm. The copper was then treated with an alkaline solution to produce an oxide layer with nano-scale surface roughness to promote adhesion between the copper and epoxy14. The surfaces were then coated with a non-conductive high-temperature two-part epoxy (Aremco 526N) filling all of the grooves. The epoxy was cured at 93 °C for 2 hours, followed by 163 °C for 12 hours to achieve a maximum strength bond. After curing, the surfaces were manually sanded with 200 grit sand paper until the bare copper between each epoxy division was exposed. The bare copper surfaces (with no epoxy divisions) were also sanded using the same method. The surfaces were finally cleaned with solvents and dried with N2.

I liked the implementation Xiaomi has gone with – which is a lot more like what you’d find on an iPhone – in comparison to Google’s setup, but one gripe I had was with the ‘back’ gesture. That’s triggered by swiping in from either edge of the screen. Since Android apps more often than not hide a hamburger menu and require you to pull it out from the left side of the screen, you’ll find yourself going back instead of pulling out the menu more often than not. The same is true when you’re trying to swipe away notifications and instead end up closing the notification pane. To avoid that, Xiaomi reserves the lower half of the screen for the back gesture and the top half for the app but on a screen as large as this, it’s rather hard to successfully pull it off every time. As bezel-less displays become more common in the Android space, I really hope that either the app ecosystem will evolve vis a vis hamburger menus or that Xiaomi and others will be able to find a better implementation for gestures.

Apple’s designers still visit factories, but a final prototype part from Cupertino is not the start of a conversation; it’s the part. Ive gave me a tour of the area in the studio behind the glass, where, beyond the milling machines, there’s also a color lab. He said, “Years ago, you thought you’d fulfilled your responsibility, as a designer, if you could accurately define the form”—in drawings or a model. Now, Ive said, “our deliverable just begins with form.” The data that Apple now sends to a manufacturer include a tool’s tracking path, speed, and appropriate level of lubricant. Ive noted that the studio’s prototyping expertise creates the theoretical risk of beautiful dumb ideas. “There are some people who can draw something that’s fundamentally ugly, but draw it—hint at detailing—in such a way that it’s seductive.” Three-dimensional models could be equally misleading. “What we try to do is see beyond our ability to implement, beyond our ability to detail.”

That would be the first of several little miracles during the massive—and time consuming—renovations, many of which Meyers and his friends undertook on their own.

The day’s event included a ten-minute film. Ive’s reluctance to speak onstage has been offset by a willingness to appear in scripted videos. These productions—Ive speaking in earnest cadences, his head cocked forward like Pixar’s Anglepoise lamp—have become so well known that ikea recently parodied them, in an ad for its catalogue (“a device so simple and intuitive, using it feels almost familiar”). Such videos used to punctuate Jobs’s onstage message. In the absence of Jobs, they carry the message. Apple’s current leaders aren’t without public-speaking skills, but they can’t match Jobs’s charisma, which was fortified by a hint of menace, and their performances can evoke the awkward informality—the dancing in lanyards—of a corporate retreat. By contrast, the virtual Ive seems to emerge from the same orderly, decontaminated place as an Apple product. He appears “rational” and “inevitable,” to use the typical language. On Apple’s Web page of executive biographies, fourteen men and women give welcoming smiles; Ive, the in-house outsider, faces the camera with album-cover gravity.

Black and Premium exterior packages provide additional visual differentiation. The Black Exterior Package is offered on both core and R-Dynamic derivatives, introducing distinctive Narvik Black to the grille mesh and surround, hood and tailgate lettering, fender vents, tow-eye cover surround and lower bumper blade. For R-Dynamic derivatives, the hood vent blades, bumper aperture inserts and exhaust finishers are also finished in Narvik Black.

He added that changes such as these make the garage part of the home’s architecture and add curb appeal and overall salability.

Most people have not a clue about how everyday items are made and it’s also a real shame that young people don’t get an opportunity to learn what it takes to design, manufacture and sell products — and make a profit.

The Bevel is a good case, period. It’s protective, has a unique design, and best of all, it’s cheap. It comes in three colors: Clear, Rose Gold Crystal, and Smoke Black. If you’re on a budget or just want something new, the Bevel is a fantastic choice.

“The city is doing their job by following up on tenants’ concerns. I would just expect them to continue that to other properties in the city to improve Fort Myers’ housing 100 percent,” he said.   Senior Treetop management will continue to visit the property every few weeks to make sure it’s being maintained, Reyes said.
