  • TMI GROUP INTRODUCES NEW TOP LOAD COMPRESSION TESTER

    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.
    The TMI Group of Companies, Ronkonkoma, NY, USA, is a global organization that provides laboratory testing solutions to measure quality of materials and consumer products for a variety of industries including packaging films, paper, pulp, plastics, adhesives, foil, inks, coatings, nonwoven, textile and corrugated industries.

  • Introduction

    I’ve managed to survive 43 years of a highly labile case of type 1 diabetes. I can’t really tell the exact extent of my diabetic complications, since I developed a rare autoimmune disease a few years ago which quickly produces some complications quite similar to those of diabetes, so the later condtion masks the effects of the former.

    I am a university medical researcher, and so I naturally have a strong interest in the science of diabetes and its treatment. I am concerned with the growing gap between what is being discovered and discussed among medical scientists about diabetes and what general practitioners and the general public believe about the disease, and I hope that this situation improves in the future.

  • Pay It Forward Friendship Gift Bags

    Friendship Gift Bags are an innovative gift product from Simply Re-Gift It that take reuse and recycling to a whole new level.

    regift it bagsFriendship Gift Bagsre-giftable and re-useable gift bags that cleverly integrate interactive media with traditional stationery products.

    How these bags work:

    You snag a cool gift bag in one of five fun flavors; ColorMe Party, ColorMe Sports, ColorMe Peace, Journey Graffiti, and Journey Camo. You place a gift inside said bag, say for a birthday or baby shower, and give it to a pal. Then the gift recipient can use a unique registration number to register the bag at a safe and secure website.

    Later the friend you gave the gift to can pass the gift bag on to another pal, who in turn passes the bag on, and so on. Friends who receive the bag can track the bag  via that special registration code I mentioned above and use it to track their shared journey, and play games.

    reuse gift bags

    When the bag has reached its final destination, the last participating friend returns the completed Friendship Gift Bag and then all the friends have the option to purchase customized keepsake items at Simply Re-Gift It based on the unique designs they have created on their gift bag.

    Three of the “Color Me” designs are ideal for younger children and there are two additional designs (Camouflage and Graffiti) that are good for older kids, teens, or even adults. Each bag is heavyweight and durable, measures 10″ x 13″ x 5″ and has polypropylene outer packaging.

    Friendship Gift Bags are a good idea and promote reuse and recycling of a common item that many people use. The only downside I can see is that I don’t think the bags are made of recycled content. I could be wrong, but I did look and look at the Simply Re-Gift It website. It seems silly to me to make a non-recycled “green gift bag” but maybe this choice was based on long-life and durability as recycled paper wouldn’t last as long as some other heavyweight bag materials. Still, overall I like the idea this offers kids – pass it on and reuse it rather than simply recycling right away or worse, tossing the bag.

  • Ultracold atom experiment confirms universal series of states




    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.

  • Canada says “no” to Yes Men website




    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.

  • ‘Superphone’ Is Arbitrary and Google Needs to Stop Using It [Rant]

    Superphone. If you weren’t reading our liveblog of the Google event, it’s the term their Android team kept using to describe the Nexus One. But why?

    It bugged us so much that I had to ask for clarification. After all, what kind of person makes up a new term for smartphones and expects other people to use it? I mean, c’mon right? Google’s official answer is that because of the 1GHz processor, the high amount of RAM, the Google apps and all the software innovations they’ve made in the Nexus One, the phone is one step higher than smartphones. And it’s almost equivalent to the laptops you were using four or five years ago. But…really? Superphone?

    Because what happens in a few years when these phones are going to have quad-core processors, Xbox 360-level graphics, 4G, and screen resolutions that are on par with what you’re currently using on laptops in 2010. What then? Super super phones? It makes no sense.

    The worst bit is that Google is actually serious with this superphone terminology. One of the presenters said something like, “the superphones of today are going to be the smartphones of tomorrow,” which basically implies that superphone is just a high-end smartphone. So, smartphone will be fine. A phone doesn’t cease being a smartphone just because it’s a few years old—but it will cease being a superphone because it’s not top of the line anymore.

    Yeah, let’s drop this now and stick with that name that other jerk came up with.
