I’d like to make a table with a map that moves and the miniatures have to keep moving not to get killed by touching the end. Like a motorized pull down blind. Time is ticking and no stopping. Adds a real sense of eminent death to the game. Anyone want to make one with me and we’ll try it out? maybe add random lights below to act as explosions, poison gas, fire etc.

Active vanes for the lower cooling aperture remain closed during the engines’ warm up phase, allowing it to reach operating temperature more quickly. But the vanes also close in conditions when additional cooling is no longer required – such as a steady-state cruise – which also reduces drag. Apertures in the front bumper direct air around the front wheels to reduce turbulence, contributing to further drag reductions.

ROCKINGHAM — When he walked into Hudson Brothers Deli on the Monday after Hurricane Florence hit, Rex Hudson didn’t know if the downtown Rockingham staple would recover.

The short front overhang and super-slim full-LED headlights further minimize visual weight. The longer rear overhang provides balance and highlights the model’s imposing length, and features a pronounced kick to add to the muscular stance. On R-Dynamic models, twin chrome exhaust finishers are integrated perfectly into the rear bumper and provide a subtle reference to the power and performance of the Velar.

This work has shown that by imparting in-plane variations in surface temperature onto flat surfaces using low-conductivity materials, extreme increases in pool boiling heat transfer can be achieved. By tuning the wavelength of these variations to coincide with the capillary length of the fluid, a resonance-like enhancement effect is seen leading to a greater than 5x improvement in heat transfer rate at moderate superheats. The counterintuitive result by which heat transfer is increased with the addition of non-conductive materials is shown to be a product of the resulting flow field near the surface. By using temperature gradients to order the location of nucleation sites, as well as promote the formation of distinct pathways for liquid and vapor flows, HTC has been increased from 41 kW/m2K to 210 kW/m2K (at ΔT = 11 K) and CHF has been increased from 116 W/cm2 to 230 W/cm2. The principle of tailoring flow fields through variations in local surface temperature represents a novel and potentially transformative tool for the enhancement of boiling heat transfer in next-generation high heat flux applications. Bi-conductive surfaces not only produce substantial increases in performance (>5x increase in HTC shown here), but are also cheaply manufactured using traditional methods, scalable to large areas and various material, and do not contain fragile surface structures or thin coatings. As a result they are easily implementable and naturally insensitive to the degradation, mechanical failure, and fouling associated with other boiling enhancement approaches.

"I am extremely disappointed in our failure and in my colleagues who lacked the ‘political will’ we have preached is so needed in Washington to vote out this good, bipartisan proposal. Their votes were on politics, not product and proved us deserving of Congress’s low approval rating," he said.

The Melamine-faced Panels for Construction market, as per the application spectrum, is segmented into Wall, Ceiling, Flooring, Other. The market share accumulated by every application and the projected valuation that every application would account for is included in the report.

The current collective of ASI representatives includes AMI in North Texas and GMB Architectural Sales in South Texas; Denzell NW in the Pacific Northwest; Downey Associates in Upstate New York; Greeline Architectural in Northern California; Hamilton Associates in New England; Interspec in Indiana; Urban Products in Florida and Wisconsin Architectural Sales in Wisconsin.

These enhancement techniques rely on surface properties and interfacial phenomena, which are inherently susceptible to degradation. Here we report the enhancement of CHF and HTC using surfaces with in-plane variations in substrate thermal conductivity. These “bi-conductive” surfaces are comprised of rows of low-conductivity epoxy embedded into high-conductivity copper substrates, and therefore rely on bulk properties rather than surface properties to enhance boiling. They create spatial variations in the surface temperature during boiling, and by tuning the wavelength of these variations to coincide with the capillary length, have shown increases in HTC and CHF of greater than a factor 5x and 2x, respectively. These counterintuitive results are explained by an examination of the resulting liquid and vapor flow fields, as well as enhanced bubble dynamics. This novel enhancement mechanism has not yet been observed or studied, and holds the potential for creating robust and reliable surfaces for high-efficiency and high heat flux boiling applications over long lifetimes.

For starters, the main selling point of the case – the leather – feels like cardboard. If someone on the street randomly handed me this, I’d think it were faux leather. It’s rock-hard, and there appears to only be a thin layer of it. Adding onto the crappy feel is an extremely cheap-feeling black frame that is the opposite of confidence-inspiring. The bottom is left wide open, and the lip on the front is almost nonexistent.

The Defense Lux combines a machined-aluminum outer frame with a tactilely-satisfying rear panel fashioned in carbon fiber, soft leather or ‘croc’ skin. The scratch-resistant metal outer frame provides military-grade drop protection, while protecting the perimeter of your iPhone. It’s a sexy-strong case with metallic button covers, and is drop-tested at six-and-a-half feet. — Ami Icanberry

When specified with the Rear Seat Entertainment Package, twin USB 3.0 ports or the HDMI and HDMI/MHL connectors enable rear-seat occupants to stream media from smartphones and tablets. Front-seat occupants can select and monitor the content shown on the rear screens, and can also turn off individual screens, if desired1.
