New Medical Center in Colorado Illustrates Value of Design Prototypes | 2018-12-17 | Colored Polycarbonate Sheet

I would like to say Grazie mille Nolan for providing me with this excellent tour of the helmet manufacturing facilities. I learned a lot about how a motorcycle helmet is made and I hope I have been able to convey that information to you.

“We are hiring people here in this complex who didn’t have a job and hadn’t worked for a year or two,” said Tobler, who expects to have 25 men on board before long.

Just a few more photos below that I sneaked of the new Nolan helmets for 2011, which we look forward to reviewing as soon as possible.

Google doesn’t seem to have developed a real name for this fabric-covered case, which is a shame since it’s a damn good one. Eye-catching and comfortable to hold, the Fabric Case makes a stylish companion for your shiny new phone. However, it’s on the pricier side at $40.

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.

As for the rest of the case, it’s pretty decent. Cutouts are precise, even if the one for the fingerprint sensor is a little larger than most cases’. Buttons are about average: not the easiest to push, but still tactile overall. Branding is fairly minimal; there’s an "oh joy!" logo on the bottom of the back and some subtle Incipio lettering on the right side. The lip on the front is average, and it barely clears my glass screen protector.

When the wood and iron staircase they’d ordered arrived, it was in one piece, unable to be taken apart and set into the wall as they had anticipated. For hours they tried to hoist it up, lean it against the second floor, or even a rafter, then secure it in place, but it was a near-impossible task.

We spent an entire day touring the polycarbonate and composite helmet manufacturing facilities and they answered all of my questions and allowed me to take many photos and lots of video.

The Lexan arrives as tiny beads, shipped in big containers, much like the photos in the MXL Industries story. The Lexan is fed into the helmet shell molding machines, where it is melted and pumped into a helmet shell mold.

The three Republican "no" votes on the overall package were cast by U.S. Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa, James Lankford of Oklahoma and Perdue.
