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 was so looking forward to installing a glass screen protector on my Pixel 2 XL, given the $900+ that I had to trade Google for it. I’ve been using them for years and have installed a metric buttload, though in recent years, they’ve been getting worse due to curved screens. ZAGG is not immune to this, and its InvisibleShield Glass Curve made me realize I’d rather have no screen protector and risk scratching/cracking my screen than have a crappy one.

As well as offering advanced connectivity, the Range Rover Velar offers a choice of four premium audio systems, each one developed to integrate perfectly with the vehicle’s cabin and deliver exceptional sound quality.

The middle-floor galleries end up feeling the nicest, proportion-wise. But the whole building is one narrative. As Federico Pompignoli, OMA’s project manager, has said, the tower is “an attempt at the white cube defying its own boringness.”

Alan Dye later described to me the “pivotal moment” when he and Ive decided “to avoid the edge of the screen as much as possible.” This was part of an overarching ambition to blur boundaries between software and hardware. (It’s no coincidence, Dye noted, that the “rounded squareness” of the watch’s custom typeface mirrors the watch’s body.) The studio stopped short of banishing screen edges altogether, Dye said, “when we discovered we loved looking at photos on the watch, and you can’t not show the edge of a photo.” He laughed. “Don’t get me wrong, we tried! I could list a number of terrible ideas.” They attempted to blur edges, and squeeze images into circles. There was “a lot of vignetting”—the darkening of a photograph’s corners. “In the end, it was maybe putting ourselves first,” he said.

Gently curved to lie perfectly flush with the surrounding structure, the upper screen can tilt up to 30 degrees, allowing the driver to set it at the perfect position. The screen returns to the flush position when the ignition is switched off and automatically adjusts to the previously selected angle when the ignition is switched on again.

Enter this lovely home with a wood burning fireplace in the living room. There is an eat in kitchen and separate dining room with a bay window, also there is a main floor master bedroom. On the upper floor there are two more bedrooms and a full bath. There is a two car detached garage with a long driveway for more parking. This beautiful home is located in the Central West End, near Forest Park, universities and hospitals and transportation. Homes is being sold "As IS" sellers will do no repairs or pay for any inspections. Agent is related to sellers.

Unless you really like the look of the wood cover (which is definitely understandable, as they do look good), I would hesitate to recommend a Toast cover. They’re pricey, uncomfortable, can’t realistically be reused, don’t provide much protection on their own, and can’t be used with cases. At $40 for just the back (with a design, if you’d like) before any additional personalization, this is definitely a niche product. Nevertheless, I applaud Toast for continuing to produce these for those who want their phones to stand out of the crowd.

If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to contact me and I will correspond with my Nolan contacts to answer your questions.

The stereo camera is also used for the Lane Departure Warning2 (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist2 (LKA) functions. By monitoring road markings and the driver’s use of the indicators, these systems are designed to help to prevent the driver from drifting out of lane: LDW can issue a haptic warning though the steering wheel, while LKA goes further and is designed to apply a small amount of counter-steering to keep the vehicle in its lane. The steering torque can be easily overcome by the driver if required2.

David Pekel, owner of Pekel Construction & Remodeling Inc., Wauwatosa, and president of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, said he’s seeing garages being improved when those who own older homes make "changes in other parts of their homes to add square footage.

Hankey’s words were a reminder of the difficulty in obeying Dieter Rams’s commandment about long-lasting design. In 1973, a Sony ad announced, “This could be the tape deck you’ll leave your great-grandson.” That line, similar to the theme of Patek Philippe ads, may have been wishful, but it was not yet an absurd way to talk about consumer electronics. Today, Apple’s designers, like their competitors, make machines that are almost disposable: the screens crack; the processors become outmoded. I asked if this caused discomfort, and there was a pause. Whang, the d.j., mentioned a friend who still uses a first-generation iPhone. “It’s super banged up, but it’s absolutely fine,” he said, as if the device were a war photographer’s scuffed Leica. “So the stuff absolutely lasts.”
