The TMI Group of Companies, a global leader in providing laboratory testing solutions is pleased to introduce our new Model 17-77 Top Load Compression tester designed to test strength of Beverage, Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, Blow molded containers for beverage and household use, PET bottles, Tubes, Cores, Corrugated Boxes and stacking strength of cases. The tester has a maximum capacity of 8,896 N/ 2,000 lbs.

The performance of a container in production and transit is critical to the manufacturer. Product failures during filling, packing, warehousing and shipping are costly and can easily be prevented when containers and finished goods are tested for Top-load strength.

Top-load strength is an excellent method to optimize the necessary force required to produce deformation and failure of bottles and containers. Top load strength can also identify thinned areas in the wall of the bottle resulting in poor wall-thickness distribution.

Model 17-77 Compression Tester meets International Standards and Corporate testing methods for compression strength requirements for a variety of materials and products. A new enhanced microprocessor design with servo motor provides precision force and position control for repeatable instrument performance.

Philosophy

We understand our company as a vital organism.
Everybody and everything participates to the whole and influences its character. Neither part can be seen isolated from the system.
All processes have to be continiously optimized to meet changing conditions. To fulfill the task, every employee has to inform and communicate in an open and fair manner. We are forcing ourselves to be high flexible, ready for changes, to garantuee an effective organization and to have the ability to concentrate on our own power. Every day we are working keenly on the target to be a strong and growing company.

When you step inside a JCB Excavator, you’ll first notice the attention to detail we put into the spacious interior and ergonomic controls.

And when you put it to work, you’ll notice the impressive power and responsive control the proven hydraulics and engine provide. Offering greater productivity, reliability and economy, we build them to work as hard as you do.

A group of hackers over at the haxnetwork is claiming that they have, in fact, successfully concocted a method that will be able to boot PS3 Blu-ray copies with MotorStorm. Is it legit? Most are expressing doubts.

Rhapsody, the ultra-popular music service, has announced the launch of their public beta program for a forthcoming Android app.  Users will be able to access and stream over 8 million songs from the Rhapsody catalog.  And, thanks to the super powers of green robots, Android allows for listening to music in the background while knocking out an email or browsing the web. 

If you own an Android device and want to participate in the public beta, you are encouraged to visit their Facebook page to register.  Non-Rhapsody subscribers can also take part in the program and try Rhapsody at no cost for seven days.

Newton was a very smart man. As he worked on solving the problem of predicting planetary orbits, he saw that his solution wasn’t going to work. To predict and understand planetary orbits requires calculus, and calculus is hard. Not hard as in “I am going to fail math,” but hard as in “No matter what trick I play here, these equations have no solution that I can just write down.” Newton saw this problem pretty early on, and found that given just two bodies (e.g., the Earth and the Moon), he could solve the equations and come up with orbital predictions—add in a third (or more), and solutions just vanished.

As it turns out, this is a pretty general issue in physics. Given two bodies that are interacting, the calculus is generally solvable; once that third body turns up, solutions vanish quicker than a kid’s gratitude to Santa. Thus was born the three-body problem and many, many horrible physics jokes. 

Fast forward to 1970 and a theoretical physicist, called Efimov, who was interested in how nucleons stuck together to form a nucleus. He discovered that under certain very restricted conditions, three nucleons could come together to form a resonant bound state—basically, the three nucleons would stick together. Furthermore, a large number of bound states existed in a series that showed a trait called self-similarity. Further investigation showed that if the particles were neutral and spinless, the number of resonant states would shoot up to infinity. Forty years later, experimentalists have finally caught up with Efimov.

When corporate pranksters The Yes Men staged a December stunt against the Canadian government’s emission proposals, the group had no idea that the resulting backlash would take down more than 4,000 unrelated websites. Whatever you think of the hoax, the saga is a reminder of the power of ISPs and Web hosting companies. If they don’t like what you’re saying and doing, there are often no consequences to shutting down or blocking sites, even when tremendous collateral damage ensues.

The scenario played out in December when The Yes Men and another group called ActionAid staged a hoax aimed at the Canadian government. They put out press releases and launched official-looking websites at domain names with more than a passing similarity to their official counterparts. All of the materials said the same thing: on the eve of the international climate change shindig in Copenhagen, Canada was committing itself to the most aggressive emissions reduction targets of any country. In addition, it was willing to pay developing countries cash to compensate them for dealing with climate change.

Pakistan need only two wickets to go for chasing an expected easy target to beat Australia at their own ground.

Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria captured four wickets for 117 runs while seamer Umar Gul claimed three for 62. Fast bowler Mohammad Asif took one wicket while Mohammad Sami could not get any wicket.

Earlier, openers Shane Watson and Phill Hughes provided a solid start of 105 after Pakistan were all out for 333 with an impressive lead of 206 runs.

Australia were 86 for no loss at lunch but lost three wickets in the second session.

First, Hughes went for 37, later captain Ricky Ponting lost his wicket for 11, then Watson fell for 97.

Australia resumed at 199 for three after tea but Danish Kaneria destroyed their batting line taking three more wickets. He dismissed North (2), Haddin (15) and Johnson (3) before Asif removed Micheal Clarke for 21.

Umar Gul claimed the eight Australian wicket getting Nathan Hauritz out four.

These crazy Klipsch LightSpeakers are designed to add music to any room. You can plug them into standard light cans or even slap them into your Ikea lamp. The ultrabright LED beams through a front diffuser grill and then you can connect the speakers – in left or right channels – wirelessly to any stereo.

From the press release:

Klipsch to Illuminate Audio Industry with New LightSpeaker
Energy-saving product uniquely combines brilliant LED lighting and wireless ambient sound

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (January 5, 2010) — Klipsch, a leading global speaker manufacturer, has been named the U.S. distributor and licensee of what is possibly the most innovative design to hit the audio industry in recent years. Winner of a 2010 CES Innovations Award, the patented Klipsch® LightSpeaker®, developed by Kadence Designs LLC., is the first product to combine efficient LED lighting and wireless ambient sound into a single unit that installs like a light bulb.

“Today’s consumers are overloaded with complex technologies, and the LightSpeaker is designed to enrich their lives without complication,” said Klipsch president Paul Jacobs. It offers brilliant light, reduces energy costs and creates a multi-room ambient music system in mere minutes. There’s no wiring, no retrofitting and no software to deal with.”

The LightSpeaker, which comes complete with a dimmable LED bulb and full-range speaker, fits 5- and 6-inch recessed light fixtures with a standard Edison socket. Upcoming accessories will allow the LightSpeaker to accommodate hanging light fixtures as well as floor and table lamps.

The speaker uses a 20 watt high-performance, low-distortion digital amplifier to deliver energy efficient sound. Furthermore, the LightSpeaker’s 2.5-inch wide dispersion driver uses digital signal processing to optimize high- and low-frequency output for a full spectrum of sound.

In order to deliver music wirelessly, the LightSpeaker relies on a standalone transmitter. A music source, such as a laptop, iPod or CD player, connects to the transmitter and it wirelessly sends the sound to the LightSpeaker. The transmitter’s 2.4GHz wireless technology accommodates up to eight LightSpeakers, equaling stereo sound in multiple rooms. You can connect two music sources to the transmitter, as well as establish two separate listening zones. The transmitter or remote will control the sources, zones, lighting levels and volume.

The LED bulb is rated for 40,000 hours of use and can last over 15 years. It also reduces daily lighting expenses by 80 percent, using 10 watts to produce light that’s bright enough to replace up to a 65 watt bulb. Unlike incandescent bulbs, the LightSpeaker LED bulb contains no mercury or halogen gases and produces almost no heat.

Ed Haase, president of Kadence Designs and acoustics engineer by trade, led the team responsible for developing the LightSpeaker. “We chose Klipsch to be our U.S. distributor because it’s a name in audio you can trust,” he says. “The brand has been around for over 60 years and finds continuous success because of its commitment to innovation and quality.”

According to Jacobs, Klipsch is completely thrilled about this opportunity. “The LightSpeaker is just an amazing product,” he notes. “It’s also exciting to work with Ed because he’s considered a legend in the custom installation business, having been one of the original co-founders of SpeakerCraft.”

A bundled package, consisting of two LightSpeakers, a transmitter, radio frequency remote, mini jack to RCA plug cable, lenses and trim, retails for $599. Single LightSpeakers are also available for $249 each. Klipsch will begin selling the LightSpeaker on klipsch.com later this month, with broader distribution slated for March.

“A LightSpeaker package eventually pays for itself, through savings on professional installation, separate audio components and energy consumption,” concluded Jacobs. “Plus you can take it with you if you move.”

One hour ago, three emergency vehicles responded to a report of an unconscious person at the world headquarters of Nike Inc. in Portland, Oregon. How do I know? An automated form-pumping robot from startup company Nozzl Media told me.

Nozzl Media today unveiled a demonstration of its first product, a widget intended for newspaper websites seeking to display real-time local information derived from Twitter messages, blog posts and automatically extracted public records like restaurant health inspections, building reports and public safety emergency responses. It’s like a little robot reporter and the company plans on offering it as a mobile app in the future as well. Nozzl raises questions, though, about what constitutes news and whether or not human reporters are expendable in the news process.

Sponsor

Nozzl was founded by a team of ex-newspaper reporters and engineers. They got out when it was clear the newspaper industry was in trouble, but now they aim to give something back by bringing together the real-time, programmatic possibilities of the web with the reporting of the newspapers. Reporters have for decades written programming scripts that repeat database queries over and over again to extract public data for bulk analysis. The Nozzl team has taken that to the next level and combined it with new social media.

The company put up a demo page for Portland, Oregon news that anyone can look at today. The public records streams are the big value-add and are fully customizable per newspaper. Visitors can then type live filter terms into the box at the bottom of the widget to zero in on topics of interest to them. That’s the nozzle in Nozzl Media.

User Experience is Hard For Robots

Unfortunately, there are two big issues here. First, the flow of Tweets is overwhelming and undifferentiated. On the demonstration site you see almost nothing else unless you can think of something to filter for. If automated Twitter feeds hold value for local news, they will probably require some smart pre-proccessing before being presented to the reading public.

There have always been people who like to listen to police radio scanners. Myself, I like to read restaurant health inspection reports, building permit applications and liquor license applications. If Nozzl had some categories I could choose between, that would be very helpful.

The second, and more interesting, problem is that the public records that are extracted are exciting in theory but relatively unreadable in practice. The truth is, Nozzl didn’t exactly tell me that there was an unconscious person reported at Nike HQ today – it told me with code from a form that there was an UNCONS/UNRESPONSIVE report at 1 SW Bowerman Drive, in Portland.

A little Mad-Libs style transformation of forms into human-readable sentences and some pre-fetching of names associated with addresses could go a long way. Run the name associated with that address through a News search engine and tell me if its an entity that’s been reported on in the past – if so then it’s probably high-priority news to push live again. The company needs to put these machine-readable pages it displays into coherent English sentences, or find some other solution.

Don’t Forget the Humans

Ambulances to Nike’s Headquarters to help someone unconscious today? That sounds like it could be news. Even if the technology presented the information this clearly – it may take a human eye to pick this out of a list of automatically captured ambulance reports. Having a human available to pick up a phone, call Nike HQ and ask who was knocked unconscious there this afternoon would add another element of value to this data – but that’s not what Nozzl is looking to do. The company is serving up raw data to news consumers.

In the end, human reporters and raw robot feeds sound like a great combination. That appears to be what Nozzl is aiming to create by offering its widgets to established news organizations. The company says that a mobile application could be in its future, too. That’s something I’m very excited about. Be it a widget or a mobile app, Nozzl’s robot reporters need more polish before they are ready to win back the hearts of fast-leaving newspaper readers. As a picture of the future, though – Nozzl is very inspiring.

We’re in Vegas this week, enjoying the sights and sounds of Sin City — and the 4G wireless. Blistering city-wide wireless is great, but everyone having to have their own USB adapters isn’t so much fun. If only we had one of the new 4G routers that CradlePoint is launching this week. The first, a portable model, can beam WiMAX out again as an 802.11n signal to up to 16 people, sporting VPN, WEP, and WPA security. Should you go out of 4G range (not hard to do) there’s a USB port through which you can connect a 3G modem, and four hours of battery life should get you through the most grande of lattes if you can’t find an open plug at the coffee shop. For the wired lifestyle there’s the CBA750, adding a WAN port and four LAN ports to the mix, ditching the battery, and taking its power exclusively over Ethernet. That’s convenience. The CBA750 is available right now for $249, and we expect the portable version to go for the same price whenever it hits the Strip.

This is where we’ve come as a society. No longer are external speakers, pillows or even laptop cooling apparatuses enough to satisfy us. Instead it takes a conglomeration of all three to prop up our hapless “portable” computers as we wallow in our Snuggies and fat free comfort foods. The new Logitech Speaker Lapdesk is one such $80 conglomeration, with two-inch stereo speakers, a built-in fan and a nice bit of padding to keep the whole assembly from frying your lap. It all plugs in over USB, both for audio and for fan power, and there are hardware buttons for switching the fan on and off and changing volume.

We gave it a quick trial run, and can certainly vouch for its comfort and protective qualities, though at the same time we’re not quite sure why it’s so enormous. The speakers are decently loud and clear, and the fan noise wasn’t loud enough to be heard over the general din of the tradeshow, so there’s really not much to complain about if you can stomach the price. But for anything smaller than a 17-inch laptop this is probably overly large for no apparent reason. There’s a quick demo video after the break.

The blogosphere went gaga on Tuesday after an alleged copy of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse script leaked to the Internet. Fan sites went wild as TwiHards gleefully read through pages watermarked with the name Jackson Rathbone — the actor who plays Jasper Hale in the Twilight series. Despite the hype, Summit Entertainment, which produces the Saga, is putting the kibosh on rumors that the script making the rounds is the same one used for the third film in Stephenie Meyer’s smash franchise.

“There is absolutely no merit to this claim,” a rep for the studio told MTV News this evening. “We noticed it over the holiday on multiple message boards and sites, and it appears that some of this was spam.”

Eclipse opens in theaters June 30.
