In a tiny Seattle apartment, the bed is on the ceiling, and that’s part of what makes it a smart home | Wood Grain Pvc Ceiling

When I spoke to Cook, he lauded Beats’ music-streaming service and its personnel before praising its hardware. “Would Jony have designed some of the products?” he said. “Obviously, you can look at them and say no.” He went on, “But you’re not buying it for what it is—you’re buying it for what it can be.” Brunner is proud of the Beats brand, but it took him time to adjust to a design rhythm set as if for a sneaker company: “Originally, I hated it—‘Let’s do a version in the L.A. Lakers’ colors!’ ” He laughed. “ ‘Great. Purple and yellow. Fantastic.’ ” When I asked Cook about such novelties, he laughed: “I want Beats to be true to who they are. I don’t want to wave the wand over them in a day and say, ‘You are now Apple.’ Down the road, we’ll see what happens.”

The main façade entrance has been constructed with mild-steel sheets and flats exposed to a natural rusting process. As you walk in, a voluminous barn-like structure made with timber framework, houses literal and artistic representations of animals, livestock, and produce, commonly found on a farm.

Boral TruExterior trim comes factory primed, and has a flat surface on one side and a wood-grain pattern on the other. Unlike wood, you don’t need to prime or seal end cuts. You will, however, have to paint it to maintain your warranty. It seems to take paint fine. Boral says to use a high-grade exterior paint, and there are no restrictions on color. My rep said you can paint it black if you want, and it won’t get hot and expand like some products. You don’t need to use adhesives with the product, but if you do want to caulk it, Boral recommends using exterior-grade acrylic caulks and adhesives before you paint.

The Liquid Crystal is a well-made case for the most part. Buttons are among the best I’ve pressed; cutouts for the charging port, fingerprint sensor, and camera are accurate; and the TPU material feels nice in the hand. The Air Cushion technology traps a little bit of air in each corner to allow for less abrasive impacts. How do you know it’s called Air Cushion technology, you ask? Because Spigen felt the need to put it on the top of the case in large white lettering, which absolutely should not be there on a clear case. Sure, if you have a panda Pixel 2 XL, you might not be able to see it as well, but it’s definitely there. There’s some more ‘Designed in Irvine, California – Made in South Korea’ text on the right side. You’re getting a little too talkative, Spigen.

To operate the system, the driver must configure key settings through the touchscreen by entering pertinent trailer details. Then, responsive trajectory lines appear on the touchscreen through the feed from cameras in the door mirrors, showing the anticipated direction of the trailer. By steering the trailer using the infotainment system’s rotary controller and by operating the pedals, the driver can reverse park trailers with ease while the system calculates necessary steering inputs2. It is also designed to alert the driver if the requested steering input is excessive and could cause a jackknife situation2.

Webglas GC fully complies, without restriction, with the requirements of Class 2 to Class 9 buildings of the Building Code of Australia. When cleaned regularly, the sheeting retains its original bright appearance over many years. Webglas GC is available in all current profiles such as Corrugated, Trimdek, 700 Decking, etc. plus most superseded profiles.

The body structure of the Velar features a rigid passenger cell and is complemented by a restraints system offering six airbags: driver and passenger airbags, side airbags that deploy from the front seats and curtain airbags spanning the front and rear seats4.

The bi-conductive surfaces have a periodic arrangement of low-conductivity material embedded within a high-conductivity substrate. The thermal conductivity of the epoxy (<1 W/mK) is several orders of magnitude less than that of copper (~400 W/mK). When submerged in a fluid and heated from the underside, this creates an in-plane variation in surface temperature. Due to the extreme conductivity difference, there is negligible heat conducted through the epoxy divisions during nucleate boiling (see thermal circuit analysis in the Supplementary Material). As such, the wall superheat temperature above the epoxy divisions will be notably reduced as compared to that experienced over the copper sections. At low average wall superheats, prior to bubble nucleation, these in-plane temperature variations will drive natural convection flows aligned with the epoxy divisions similar to Rayleigh-Bérnard convection rolls. It has been shown that this sort of flow instability is immediately triggered for any finite superheating with a spatially varying surface temperature27. The resulting flow-field draws cooler liquid down toward the surface from above the epoxy divisions, while warmer fluid rises from above the hot copper. At these early stages the counter-rotating flows will produce a stagnation point in the center of the copper, resulting in a local minimum in convective heat transfer coefficient and therefore a local maximum in surface temperature28. As the wall superheat is increased this local maximum temperature promotes bubble nucleation along the center of the copper regions. This results in the formation of an ordered flow-field, as shown schematically in Fig. 1e, which persists at increasing thermal loadings. The in-plane variations in wall superheat take a periodic form with a wavelength equal to the pitch between epoxy divisions, P. This superheat wavelength dictates the nature and location of the ordered pathways of escaping vapor and replenishing liquid returning to the surface during nucleate boiling. Figure 1f shows an image of the onset of nucleate boiling, where the first few nucleation sites are activated on a bi-conductive surface (N = 4 cm−1) at a wall superheat of ~5 K. As can be seen, the vapor bubbles preferentially nucleate near the center of the copper due to the local maximum in surface temperature. This is consistently seen for all of the surfaces tested, and demonstrates that the wettability of the epoxy is not promoting nucleation due to a lower surface energy (see supplemental movies). Additionally, Fig. 1g shows how the superheat wavelength, P, imparts a level of control over the bubble diameter during lateral coalescence. By ordering nucleation sites and liquid return pathways, the size of bubbles undergoing lateral coalescence across an epoxy division is tuned to nominally coincide with the superheat wavelength, P.

I hadn’t come across a leather case of similar quality to Apple’s own until now. Made with high-quality leather, wrapped around a durable plastic shell, the Mujjo Leather Case offers both style and protection. With the selling price almost exactly the same as Apple’s own leather case, it’s great to find an alternative offering that has even better protection. A plastic lip protrudes slightly from the edge of the case, and protects your screen in the event of a drop, or when placing your iPhone screen-side-down. — Ste Smith
