That morning, the douchepop—a mix that included Yaz and The Rapture—was set at low volume, as were the employees, who spoke in murmurs and moved silently on sneakered feet. Later that day, I met Eugene Whang, one of the designers; he referred to a second career as a d.j. and a music promoter, and noted that we were listening to a set that he and a friend had performed at Le Bain, in the Standard Hotel, in New York’s meatpacking district. (It is not enough to have co-created the iPhone.) Whang and his colleagues—they include an Austrian-born surfer, Julian Hönig, who used to design Lamborghinis—tend to be as low-key as their boss, and their fame extends barely beyond the studio door. But their multinationalism, and their lives of individual affluence and shared reputation, would be familiar to soccer players on Europe’s grandest teams. Apple employs three recruiters whose sole task is to identify designers to join the group; they find perhaps one a year. Not long ago, Whang posted online a photograph of a handsome white helicopter, captioned, “The new Mori City Air Service from Narita to Tokyo is amazing. 30 mins total travel time. It’s pricey, but sometimes definitely worth it. The Hermès edition is upholstered in their classic canvas, with leather trim details and calf leather seats.”

According to Pearlman, the haute-casual dining trend also helps restaurateurs run bigger and more successful businesses. Constructing interiors out of hard surfaces makes them easier (and thus cheaper) to clean. Eschewing ornate decor, linens, table settings, and dishware makes for fewer items to wash or replace. Reducing table service means fewer employees and thus lower overhead. And as many writers have noted, loud restaurants also encourage profitable dining behavior. Noise encourages increased alcohol consumption and produces faster diner turnover. More people drinking more booze produces more revenue. Knowing this, some restaurateurs even make their establishments louder than necessary in an attempt to maximize profits.

Customers can also interact with the Velar remotely – from anywhere in the world. The InControl Remote app allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle, check how much fuel is in the tank or where the vehicle is parked using a smartphone or smartwatch. It’s even possible to start the engine and set the climate control system remotely.

“People are also putting in HVAC systems that can be closed off when they don’t want to use them. When it’s hot out and you’re working on your car, you can open it up and have your air conditioning. That makes it a more usable space … not just a storage space for cars,” he said.

The enhancement mechanisms proposed here are inherently linked to the wavelength of the spatial variations in surface superheat, P, as illustrated in Fig. 1. To probe the effect of this wavelength on boiling performance, the pitch between epoxy divisions has been systematically varied. The percent increase in CHF and HTC of the bi-conductive surfaces relative to bare copper is plotted in Fig. 5 against the superheat wavelength, P, normalized by the capillary length, λC. The capillary length is the characteristic length scale of an interface subject to both surface tension and gravitational forces, and for a bubble is given by

[CapnJackHarkness] based their build on a table made by Gaminggeek, adapting it to their space and needs. The main difference? This wasn’t exactly ‘cheap;’ between needing to purchase tools and a 39″ TV, their cost was around $1,000 — the poplar alone coming in between $200-$400. Additionally, those foam pads have been a functional nuisance so far, so they’re planning on replacing them with speed cloth or felt down the line.

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.

In San Francisco, in an L-shaped living room with a large fireplace surrounded by dark wood, Heather Ive turned off some lights to improve the night view. “You can see the wash of light from the lighthouse at Alcatraz,” she said. Her husband added, “The new house is way over there. You’re almost on top of the water.” The work in Pacific Heights, which has included driving piles forty feet into the ground, is scheduled to be finished this year.
