I like R&D magazine. I get little technology blurbs from them every day. 9 times out of 10 I see some new cool nanoscale idea. Some new sensor, some new actuator. If you are a high tech junkie, beyond the latest car stereo or lego system I highly recommend the daily newsletter. Its a quick read, you mentally throw out most of it, and take in 1 or tow goodies for the day.

But alas, I found this article.

Here is an early paragraph:

In contrast to "every man for himself" interpretations of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, Dacher Keltner, a UC Berkeley psychologist and author of "Born to be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life," and his fellow social scientists are building the case that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our nurturing, altruistic and compassionate traits.

When I read that, I had so many thoughts at once my brain started vibrating.

• Most often I hear about how darwinism leads to socialism. And yet here they claim that darwinism is pure free market.
• Darwin never, ever claimed “every man for himself”, it was always about populations.
• Never mind the fact that this is hardly a new understanding of evolution

However the rest of the article is an interesting read. Sadly I don’t have the resources (time mostly) to follow up on all the claims in the article.  I realize tha thte first paragraph was probably just intended to light a fire for the rest of the article. But still I would have written something more like:

Contrary to the layman’s interpretation of evolution, there are wide swaths of research that show that some of the success of the human race has sympathy and altruism to thank for it. But until recently, we have not understood much of the actual physiological mechanisms for it. Dacher Keltner, a UC Berkeley psychologist and author of "Born to be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life," and his fellow social scientists have provided some new insight into these traits.

Or something like that…

My search for a good picnic knife is what first led me to New West KnifeWorks. I imagined something sharp, well-made, not precious, and unique in a way I couldn’t quite describe. My answer came in an unexpected package from an unexpected place.

Uber-bull Jeff Saut says to keep buying, and he would disagree with our recent report on the trebling economic recovery.

The call for this week:  Since mid-November the S&P 500 (SPX/1106.41) has tested, and held, the 1085 level four times.  Also, since the March “lows” the SPX has ALWAYS found support at the lower Bollinger Band and rallied.  Last week both of those levels were “tagged” and successfully “held” (see chart).  Moreover, the “tight consolidation” (<2% range) over the past four weeks has allowed our internal energy measuring indicators to reenergize, hopefully setting the stage for a decent rally.  Given the aforementioned metrics, as well as the year-end performance anxiety money managers are feeling, we think the SPX is going to break out above the 1115 level so often mentioned in these missives.  Reinforcing those views are the good folks at Bespoke who noted, “(While) the pace of economic indicators exceeding expectations has slowed considerably, (last) week saw a reversal in this trend.  Of the nine reports released, only two were weaker than expected.  If this continues, the odds of breaking out of the recent range to the upside increase considerably.”  Obviously, we agree.

Now I love cooking during the holidays. But I know not everyone does. And for those people who prefer not to cook during the holidays — I have catfish. Whenever I think about holiday foods (and not cooking) I always think, catfish! I am sure you do too. Right?

Farley Laserlab took their new Fabricator XRP for a pit stop in Chicago for the FabTech International Welding and Fabrication exhibition. The Fabricator XRP has been purchased by Wausa Steel Service Centre in Michigan.
The exhibition was a big success for Farley Laserlab with many members of the plate processing industry from around the world showing great interest in the new innovative Fabricator XRP. While at the exhibition the Fabricator XRP was producing parts including plasma bevel cutting, high speed drilling, tapping, milling and pin stamp marking.

– Simultaneous machining with up to 3 tools possible
– Easy change-over for turning operation with and without a guide bush
– Clearly structured working area with large axis travels
– Turret indexing using an NC rotary axis
– Very large pool of fixed and driven tools by using double and triple holders
– 3-axis grasping with counter spindle
– Excellent accessibility for operation and maintenance due to large sliding door
– Compact design at minimum footprint
– New TX8i-p production control

Kinematics

The TNL18P has 5 linear axes. In addition the Y motion evolves from X/C/H axis interpolation.
The tool carriers are a highlight of the machine design because the rotary motion is executed by an NC axis without any mechanical locks. This allows to position both turrets very fast at any angle. The counter spindle with large X/Y/Z axis travels and integrated lower turret positions on 3 axes resulting in ultimate transfer accuracy.

The vertical machine bed design guarantees a favorable chip flow.

View into the work area

The working area of the TNL18P is easily accessed by the user through its noticeably high and wide sliding door. It is clearly structured by the components: Main Spindle, Upper Tool Carrier, Counter Spindle with Lower Tool Carrier and Rear End Machining Unit.
The main spindle of the TNL18P has a highly dynamic spindle belt drive and fast acting C-axis positioning. The smart headstock design with large Z-axis travel allows the turning operation both with and without a guide bush. The upper tool carrier has 8 tool stations with powerful tool drive and internal coolant. The tooling circle corresponds to remarkable 1225 mm of Y-travel unwrapped, beating any linear tool carrier. The TNL18P has a powerful counter spindle with large X/Y/Z axis travels and integrated tool carrier with 7 stations. Each station can be equipped with multiple holders thus leading to a large pool of tools. 7 stations at the rear end machining unit, 4 four of those with internal coolant, enable complex backworking at the workpiece.

Linear motion specialist, HepcoMotion®, is world-renowned for its prowess in the field of circular and continuous motion. It is also unique in its ability to produce rings with diameters from .1m to 8m, or even larger. Indeed it has perfected the art of manufacturing ring segments to ensure both concentricity and smooth running of the finished product, whatever its diameter. So ring systems greater than 8m in diameter are eminently feasible.

Development of manufacturing techniques and continued investment in the new technology now allows HepcoMotion® to supply single piece rings in diameters up to 1.8m. These products are produced in a dedicated machining cell, a lean manufacturing move that has substantially improved lead times.

“This is a product that is ideally suited to cellular manufacture,” explains Manufacturing Director Barry Engstrom. “It is completed in six processes and the new layout means we have reduced the distance a ring travels during production from 530m to just 44m. We have also substantially reduced machine set-up times.” So a standard 1m ring now spends considerably less time in the production process and the lead times for a more complex, non-standard ring has been reduced from 5-6 weeks to 3 weeks.

HepcoMotion®’s longstanding ability to manufacture rings has led to the supply of ring segments for oval systems and for incorporation into special purpose machinery. As a result ring segments have been part of the company’s product programme for many years and, in common with all of its core products, have themselves been subject to continuous development.

“Manufacturing individual segments that are distortion-free is technically very challenging,” adds Peter Fanshawe, Technical Director of HepcoMotion®. “We’ve been on a long journey to perfect our techniques but now we can ensure excellent roundness and continuity between sections, regardless of diameter.”

The introduction of high capacity bearings have naturally been a parallel development. At its dedicated bearings production site in Essex, the company now manufactures bearings up to 150mm that individually can take loads of several tons.

The demand for large HepcoMotion® rings is growing considerably. The company has manufactured bespoke rings for use in wind turbine applications and is currently working on a project for turning ‘sunseeking’ houses.

As of now, our 930.80 Climair® series differential pressure switches are available with a setting range from 20 to 300 Pascal. This extended range offers some advantages since the variety of applications of these differential switches will be even greater. Within the course of the year 2010, our present customers will, after previous consultation, get replacement for our earlier 930.80 model switches still having a setting range of 20-200 Pascal. New customers will, of course, be supplied with our new 20-300 Pascal generation.

Normally we can think of some cute little anecdote to kick these here posts off with, but today… can’t do it. BMW is raising their prices by 0.4 percent across the board on vehicles sold in North America. This price increase takes effect on January 1, 2010. Why? BMW isn’t saying. And while less than a percent may not sound like much, if you’re buying a stripper 760Li ($136,600), that’s like $600!

There is a tiny sliver of good news. The three vehicles that just got introduced to this continent in December — the ActiveHybrid X6, ActiveHybrid 7 and the 550i Gran Turismo — are unaffected by this price increase. Of course as all three of those vehicles haven’t proved themselves in the marketplace yet, so that sliver is even tinier upon second glance.

But it’s not just the base prices that are going up. Destination & Handling fees are on the rise as well. Every new BMW is coming with an additional $50 tacked onto the 2009 $825 price, for a total of $875. And yes, this fifty dollar increase applies to the two new hybrids and the Gran Turismo as well. Happy New Year!
